Class Dismissed

Dear Tobey,

Hi love! One of the best situations a college student can find themselves in is when they are late for class and they find a note stuck on the door, "CLASS DISMISSED"!! =D I even got to see JOEY on the way up here to the school library. =) I'm so excited she's going to Magic Mountain with us!! She was on a very thin line between going and not going, but Michael finally got her to go. How the heck did he do it?! I was practically on my knees begging her to go. He claims that he used his "charm" to convince her. Well, I hope he saved that stuff for Lauren b/c she says she's afraid of roller coasters! Hopefully we can make her go so she can conquer her fear right!?

So what am I going to do now? I'm going to mosey on over to Starbucks and read this huge packet on cinema theater for art class. >_< I didn't get a chance to read it last night b/c I was going CRAZY playing these japanese puzzles online. The puzzles are called Takagism, and so far, they've got two rooms that you have to "escape" from by finding items in the room and piecing the puzzle together so to speak. The first one is called the Crimson Room, and it's a lot less difficult than the Viridian Room, which I thought was much harder to figure out! But it's sooo interesting how all the pieces just fall into place, and how the two rooms are intertwined. It was getting late, and I was stuck in the Viridian Room, so I worked together with my friend to complete the room. Of course he beat me to it!! The room was actually a little creepy, eerie music and strange noises.. so I simply turned off the volume. =) I know I shouldn't get so scared and paranoid easily, and I wasn't so afraid in my younger days.. now I feel like it's a phobia. What happened to me darn it?! I sure am a scaredy doggy. >_< All right, now I'm really off to read. Leaving you with something.

Amazing lyrics this band. I don't think there's not a single song I don't like from any of their albums I have. SO GOOD!

[I'll try to make this perfectly clear, I'm so transparent I disappear. These words I lyrically defecate, upon songs I boldly claim to create. Clint steps in to establish the beat, 4/4 hip hop and you don't stop. This unique approach to start an EP, intended to shock, create a mystique. A cheap strategy, a marketing scheme, building awareness for the next LP. They've got a good fan base, they've got integrity, they've got a DC sound. Shudder to Think, Fugazi and Chapel Hill around the early 90's. This is the latest from Saddle Creek.

Some melodies are like disease, they can inflame your misery. They will infect your memories. They haunt me. Some memories are like disease, they can inflame your misery. They will infect your melody. They haunt me.

I write these words with my motherly intuition. I shape these sounds into harmonic aparitions, but I can see can see through these haunting things, my moldy dreams are debased by the same hands that shaped them.

I'll try to make this perfectly clear, I'm so reflexive I am a mirror. These words I'm driving into the ground. The same words I scream out over the crowd. I'm just an airwave rolling around, I storm and crash without a sound. There's all these islands out at sea, I can't reach. I'm just an airplane diving down, I storm and crash without a sound. Engines exploding silently out at sea, where waves caress unstable egos, where melody is completely swallowed, where songwriters chain their songs to their ankles and sink to the beat. Til it stops and bursts under pressure. Let it burst and bloom. (hit song) Let it burst and bloom.] Cursive/Sink to the Beat
