Snow is falling! I love watching it out my window. Hurray for winter :)

Last night I went to gamma phi beta's formal with Steph. It was enjoyable.

I'll try to have a longer entry later. Now, I have to get to work.

Thou fountain of bliss, thy smile I entreat

O'erwhelmed with distress I mourn at thy feet

The joy of salvation, when shall it be mine

The high consolation of friendship divine

Awakened to see the depth of my fall

For mercy to thee I earnestly call

Tis thine the lost sinner to save and renew

Faith's mighty Beginner and Finisher too

Thy Spirit alone repentance implants

And gives me to groan at feeling my wants

Midst all my dejection, dear Lord, I can trace

Some marks of election, some tokens of grace

Thou wilt not despise a sinner distressed

All-kind and all-wise, thy season is best

To thy sovereign pleasure resigned I would be

And tarry thy leisure, and hope still in thee

I adore songs with bridges that start off really mellow and build to ecstatic, frenzied endings.

I'm thankful, this day, for the incredible parents and sister that God has blessed me with. The feeling is very un-cliche, even if the articulation of it is.

I can relate to this quote:

"Whenever I feel bad, I go to the library and read controversial periodicals. Though I do not know whether I am a liberal or conservative, I am nevertheless enlivened by the hatred which one bears the other. In fact, this hatred strikes me as one of the few signs of life remaining in the world...Down I plunk myself with a liberal weekly at one of the massive tables, read it from cover to cover, nodding to myself whenever the writer scores a point. Damn right, old son, I say, jerking my chair in approval. Pour it on them. Then up and over to the rack for a conservative monthly and down in a fresh cool chair to join the counterattack. Oh ho, say I, and hold fast to the chair arm: that one did it: eviscerated! And then out and away into the sunlight, my neck prickling with satisfaction."

-Walker Percy, "The Moviegoer"

My sister is the best trumpet player in the state. No, seriously; she got first chair in All-State. I know someone famous! :)

I just got a 100G external harddrive.

And Brad Dexter is one cool guy.
