You can thank me later.

It got dark by 5 today. Winter is coming. Already November. There's a special day in that month...right?

I have to say, first (and probably last) time I've heard Twilight and Interview With the Vampire brought up in Sunday Mass. I have to wonder sometimes if I'm a Christian just because I've never known a better group of people to make the biggest deal about nothing; it's like a hotbed for controversy (and I just can't stay away...).

I finished my paper this morning, which I really enjoyed writing. I may post it here. If not, you can of course ask to see it, if it so interests you. The topic is quite intriguing, in my opinion. Let's hope the grade is just as much....

I really like my bosses. Tad random, but I don't think everyone can say that. They're really cool, in a totally ironic sense. And quite friendly (in a non-child-molesting sense).

Need to write again soon. But I'll get to that eventually. Putting off Chem. but I have time tomorrow. I just need sleep tonight, so I don't sleep through class again like last week.

I just rediscovered American McGee's Alice. I actually remember seeing it in some computer store (shut up, whatever quip you may have) with my dad when I was younger. At the time, I thought it was twisting the Alice In Wonderland story and didn't like it. Now, I so want it. Haven't heard of it? Watch the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG_-3T1Tljw. Looks so good.

I have some ideas for verses I want to try out when I have the time. It always takes forever for me to be ready to do a verse, yet once I start writing, it just seems to come forth. Then again, most of the stuff I've written in the past I'm tearing apart, tossing away some, using the rest. I've noticed how much I've grown as lyricist over the past year - bad side? You realize how much you need to improve your future writing and how poor your past stuff was. But eh. Can only go up.

Yes, at this point you must be worrying at me. Several positive entries in a row? Jon, are you sick? I'd hate to invoke the calm before the storm image (largely because it doesn't make sense; before every catastrophe there doesn't have to be a calm; how can you make so general an assumption as that?), but who knows? Every up has it's down. I suppose I've just become used to. Heh, oh, yes, this is life; you know you're out there when a sarcastic and cynical statement like that makes you laugh and cheer up (that was a joke, despite the truth in it; c'mon, laugh...).

Well, only one class today; I thankfully woke up on time for it. Did laundry, which I forgot to do yesterday.

Have found some hilarious videos, as well. There's one as a preview for if the game Minesweeper was ever made a movie. Which of course made me want to play minesweeper again. I love having that on the calculator. Anyway, if you've ever played or been a fan of the game, you'll absolutely love it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHY8NKj3RKs.

Also on the note of parodies, I happened to find one to Miley Cyrus's I Can't Wait to See You Again. I don't know if any of you have heard that song; I hope not, because my respect for you would drop steadily and it would mean you waste what little free time you have surfing the internet. Oh, yeah, Generation Y (remember your audience, Jon, remember your audience...). In any case, in a video that borders on stalkerish and creepy, yet still sounds great musically, Dave Days parodies the song. It's pretty funny; most of his videos are, actually: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6D4TQ3KQW0.

On that note, to more fully numb (and deteriate) my mind, I watched the video for 7 Things, largely because Dave made a parody of that too and I got bored pretty quickly; I don't think I watched the full thing of that one. In any case, I watched the original, to which I laughed and reaffirmed the reason why I dispise pop music (I mean, other than the fact it's generally talentless garbage - honestly, it's not that hard to write your own lyrics).

So, for those who are smart enough to avoid headaches from the current media of our day and age by living under a rock - the song basically is talking to a past boyfriend, listing the 7 things Miley dislikes about him.

The song itself wasn't too bad, at first. Throughout the video, a whole slew of other girls either dance, hold past teddy bears or other objects that remind them of their significant asshole, or lip-sync Miley's words.

Of course, the girls look like their about to cry throughout the whole thing (because that's what girls do during a fucked up relationship, right? For every single one. Just tons and tons of girls - they all have the same exact identical reactions to the same situation).

But then the best part was after tearing our hearts out by their frustrsation over this deucebag and crying, then they decide to list the reasons why they like this guy. And of course during so, their eyes can't face the camera and gotta bite the lower lip. And then they note how their still in love with the guy; aw. Abusive relationship, much?

And while the many (many) displayed girls are quite heterogeneous (one of them striking me as quite butch), I have to note that they're all average to skinny in stature and all fairly pretty. Of course. Overweight girls don't have unsatisfactory relationships? Haha, in the long run, actually, that's probably true.
