Damn. This date thing is always like a day behind. I have to manually add a day. I am so lazy.

I dont normally mind, it's just because I'm tired.

So did I mention that I'm borrowing a cello? Yeah. And I've been playing around with it. I figured out the notes to some Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings and Christmas songs. It still sounds really bad though, because I don't know how to get a very good tone out of the instrument. Viola is a lot different.

We had a snow day today. It snowed last night, starting at around 9:00, 9:30 PM. It stuck, and it's been around all day, slowly melting. I hate it when it melts. In Aspen it might start melting a little bit but then all of a sudden it would change into blizzard conditions, and then there would be lots of snow again. I miss Colorado. That trip has almost been one year ago now. I announced it almost a year before I went on it, too. This diary has been around for a long time.

I IMed S but he's not talking. And there's something that looks suspiciously like mouse fur but is probably dust poking out of the furnace grate.....crap.

Anyway at school, I think this creepy guy kind of likes me. I have no idea why. He's definitely a little creepy...I don't know how to explain it. But yeah, I'm always uncomfortable whenever he's around, I may have to start really trying to avoid him. Which is fricken hard since I have a bunch of classes with him. It totally sucks.

I just watched A Christmas Story. I love that movie...."You'll shoot your eye out!" "Daddy's gonna kill Ralphie!" and "Be sure to drink your ovaltine!".

You take your white finger
Slide the nail under
The top and bottom buttons of my blazer
Relax the fraying wool, slacken ties
And I'm not to look at you in the shoe
But the eyes
Find the eyes

Find me and follow me through corridors
Refectories and files you must follow
Leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee, the dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine, yes it's mine

I time every journey to bump into you accidentally
I charm you and tell you of the boys I hate
All the girls I hate, all the words I hate
The clothes I hate
How I'll never be anything I hate
You smile, mention something that you like
Oh, how you'd have a happy life
If you did the things you like

Find me and follow me through corridors
Refectories and files you must follow
Leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee, the dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine, yes it's mine

So I'm on BBC2 now, telling Terry Wogan how I made it
And what I made is unclear now
But his deference is and his laughter is
My words and smile are so easy now
Yes, it's easy now, yes, it's easy now

Find me and follow me through corridors
Refectories and files you must follow
Leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee, the dark of the matinee

Well, find me and follow me through corridors
Refectories and files you must follow
Leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee, the dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine, yes it's mine
