It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I think Bridge to Terabithia was the first book I read where someone dies and people have sex (I am thinking of the right book?),

Nope. One of the main characters dies, but they don’t have sex. They’re 10!!

Our CEO is convinced that LAy skipped the country, until they show the body.

sits next to the CEO, waiting for results of DNA test

I think I will teach the following novels: Haunting of Hill House, The Great Gatsby, The House of Mirth, and The House of the Spirits.

Made of awesome.

I wonder what the first book I read with sex was

At first, I thought Forever, by Judy Blume. It was on the 8th grade shelf in middle school. Hmm, maybe the Thornbirds, but I think I was watching the mini series with my dad. V. embarrassing, I remember the scene where Meggie gets her period, and my dad asked if I knew what was going on.

Then I remember that I got in trouble when I was 11 for reading the sex books at the library. A bunch of us used to go to the library after school and hang out (yes, I was a geek early) I remember a book that had a penis and vagina on legs, as characters in the book. We made photocopies and dropped one. Got caught by the librarian, who called our parents. My mother decided that this meant that it was time for The Talk. She had a yellow legal pad with an outline on it. As she went over each point, she checked it off with a pencil. I just stared at the kool-aid stain on the rug and prayed for death.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I want to go have lunch with Jesse and Tom and bon bon.

Stoopid opposite coasts.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I never have lunch plans! It's very exciting. Of course, right now I'm eating at my desk so as to mitigate the screwing around online time.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Today has just been made about 3000% more awesome by the discovery that I have, on my iPod, Sarah Brightman singing "Who Wants To Live Forever?"

Whoot! My brother, who's been kind of struggling to find his next direction recently, just got accepted to do an MBA here: [link]

I have "Who Wants to Live Forever?" preformed by Queen on my car MP3 disc.

I have now gotten so much done at work today, that I'm having trouble with motivation. I know I can just slide by the rest of the day and still be caught up. Yesterday I felt behind. It's nice.

Oh dear. My father just hit youtube.

(We, um, maybe, possibly took a little video of him napping this weekend. But I didn't know she was going to post it!)

Chrysler is releasing a new version of their Sebring sedan pretty soon.

I mention it only becase of the cupholders. They can heat a drink to 140 degress or cool a drink to 35 degrees. Progress rolls onward.

It also has a hard drive and USB connection, it's like a big iPod with cupholders and a motor.

What is even happening?

We're psyched about the Sebring's cupholders, however, which can cool drinks to 35 degrees F or heat them up to 140 degrees F. No more warm, flat Pepsi on road trips for us. Heated seats are also available as on option, but no cooling function for the posteriors.
I think it's funny they don't have the cooling function for the rear seats. Arguably, it's not a family car, but...
