Last Post Before the Big Slack

Slack week starts tomorrow at two...or earlier, we'll just have to wait and see for that one. At any rate, we can all hope I come back with a bit more work done, and a bit less bitterness. I may be hostile but I still believe in the power of hope...useless as it may actually be. Maybe someday I'll learn how to post pictures on this thing and we can all be penetrated by Jenn's powerful eyes, eh? EH?? The ornaments look pretty but they're pulling down the branches of the tree...
Shane starts his new job on Monday, and before long he'll have fully abandoned me for better things and brighter goals (i.e. fixing his uncles toilet and making money for new tires). Count on me being more dependent than normal with less to divert my attention. But, who knows, maybe I'll be more studious too.
Jennifer named her cactus Stupid Prickly Face a.k.a. Eleanor because she so rudely kept me from my true love by refusing to open the door--an eye for an eye.
The whole world is in more trouble with me than any single person could handle, but you know that means it's just gonna get together and take me out. The scariest unity prospect so far has been Lyndsay and Jenn with their communist revolution to the stars (even though the stars are blah blah bourgeousie blah blah). Which brings us to Arnold.
Sweetness and light, nothing but sweetness and light. Arnold was great because he was an optimistic people-hater...like the purple people eater, but more conservative. I love my notes: culture should ignore the bad stuff and focus on the positive--the religious view of culture as the fulfillment of God's law and spiritualization. Adjs for Arnold: idealist, misogynist, racist, conservative. Sounds like quite a shoe if you ask me...but you probably wouldn't.
Just in case I come back bitter as ever, don't give up on me. If I'm really mad you'll never know it. Have a good break, but only if you're willing to wish me the same.
Some goo for the road: You say you got no faith in things that you can't see. Well, I'm sorry I ain't there with you but you ain't here with me. And everything's wrong, but it's all right.
