"... And I have to speculate that God himself Did make us into corresponding shapes like Puzzle pieces from the clay :: from "such great heights", track two on the postal service's album "give up" :: Thursday, August 25, 2005 me! this written by Mel at 4:09 PM Wednesday, February 11, 2004 since i don't have time to figure out the commenting thing, and becuase tom thought it would be fun, i'm temporarily blogging on a joint livejournal with him. check us out at mel and tom's micey page this written by Mel at 7:43 PM Saturday, January 31, 2004 i would be more upset about the commenting thing if i actually updated more. sometime maybe i'll have time to hook something else up, but for now, i have way too much happening. classes are interesting; i thought they were all going to be easy, and for the most part they are. i feel like a bit of a slaker in school. work is chaos, as usual. we're all supposed to move in together with pastors.com in March. PDL sales just flew past 13 million. i think we all sort of loose sight of the global impact of what we are doing. being engaged is weird becuase i look at all sorts of things differently now. so that part of my life is crazy too, [insert long paragraph on relationship drama here] but for the most part its a good crazy. going to see The Get Up Kids in march. excited about that. need to buy tickets for the tooth and nail tour... forgot to ask Seth for a hook up. maybe next time. midterms are this week... guess i should study for that. in music news, check out brand new and also the starting line, who is signed on the same label duo Drive Thru/Giffren as SoCo. this written by Mel at 11:59 AM Wednesday, January 28, 2004 why we all have secret longings to be british .... its not just so we can clain james bond or candy that looks like sidewalk chalk as our own. its not so we date someone with a great accent, or be the person someone else dates for our great accent. its so we can swear. with a great accent. .... this written by Mel at 7:35 PM Saturday, January 17, 2004 i know that this quarter is going to be great. here are some quotes from my new profs... -- James Steintrager, Comp Lit 50b. he's great because he's one of those white american english teachers who has fallen in love with japanese culture in the way that only a white american english teacher can... .... so there is a war lord in Fullerton, and a war lord in Tustin. And you don't step foot in Tustin.... --- Professor Schonfeld, Pol Sci 6C. he's great because he's jaded and funny and can somehow link masturbation to political science... ...we wear shirts that tell little stories..... Poli Sci can affect your personal life. You can study The Seduction by Macciaveli and John Locke in the Bedroom this written by Mel at 12:44 PM Friday, January 09, 2004 soo.... what did you do over winter break? i went to Paris and got engaged. But I didn't get engaged in Paris. that was here. here's my ring this written by Mel at 9:00 AM Sunday, December 14, 2003 so i'm getting to the point where i need to just stop telling tom anything. I need to stop calling him and i need to stop talking to him like he's my best friend and i can tell him anything. let's all be honest, no one wants to know everything and i need to just learn how to practice a little discression everyonce in a while. it wouldn't be so bad but what i think about him and us and myself even changes so rapidly, one day i'm totally sure that i'm going to marry him and never look back, and the next i can't believe what i've gotten myself into and i get mad at him for stupid things and it just isn't fair to make him and myself thrown into emotional chaos for just some whim that i'm feeling at any given point. i'm at this crossroads - i can feel it. everything in my life is changing. everything. the people i hang out with, the things that i do, the clothes that i wear. and work is even more important than school now... i only have a 3.5 - i was shocked to find that out! I've never had a gpa so low in all my life. not that it really matters. My dreams of going somewhere better after this are long gone. In fact, PD is mushrooming into this unbeleavable coorporation, we've tripled since i started working there in March. We're moving to bigger offices, i mean, this thing is huge. I'll probably end up just staying within PD and writing for them. Renee was proofing some of my papers for school, and she was genuinely impressed.... anyway, and all of that changes too, becuase we won't be a part of the church anymore. so i probalby won't go to seminary either. i'll just be there. and it will be good, i guess, i don't know. i have to pay for tuition and we missed the deadline for uship waivers so i have to pay for that too, and then i have to pay for paris and i spent almost $100 at the Spectrum on Friday and now i feel guilty about that too. why can't my life ever be simple? this written by Mel at 8:59 AM	links to people: :: beverly's homepage :: :: beverly's journal :: :: tom's blog :: :: my blog's name is jennifer ... mackenzie's journal :: :: insanity is contagious...kunal's journal :: :: gary's kustace :: links to music: :: something corporate's official Site :: :: david crowder band :: :: dave matthews band :: :: dave matthews in brazil :: :: the get up kids :: :: further seems forever :: :: relient k :: links to neat stuff: :: it's walky!
