There are only two ways to get me to shut up. Kissing and listening to oldies.The first is obvious, but seldom used. Oldies on the other hand has become a favorite weapon of my friend Gabe, who constantly tells me that I " talk too damn much". Thus, he has recently downloaded a bunch of my favorites onto my computer, which secures a peaceful lunch when he makes his tuesday visit. I dont know why this type of music has the effect it does. Maybe it makes me think of my dad, who got me hooked in the first place. Or maybe its just the beat and the truthfulness that comes from the lyrics. Whatever it is, I am a slave to oldies and find myself in a dream like trance listening to it. So Gabe, even thought I know this is your way of getting me to quit talking, thank you. The following song has been dear to my heart for many years, for many reasons. Enjoy!!

If you want something to play with /go and find yourself a toy/ baby my time is too expensive/ and im not a little boy/ if you are serious/ dont play with my heart it makes me furious/ but if you want me to love you then baby i will /girl you know i will/ tell it like it is/ dont be ashamed/ let you conscious be your guide/ i know deep down inside of me/ i beleive you love me/ foregt you foolish pride/ life is too short/ to have sorrow/ you may be here today/ and gone tomorrow/ you might as well / get what you want/ so go on and live/ baby go on an live/ tell it like it is/ im nothing to play with/ got an find you self a toy/ tell it like it is/ my time is too expensive / and im not you little boy.

On to another topic I am very mad at myself becuase I stayed up to see the meteor shower on tuesday and didnt make a single wish. I mush have been delirious with cold and sickness, but still, not one single wish! But i think that the stars knew what I wanted becuase I passed my math test!!!!! So despide my raging fever and runny nose, I am in a celebatory mood. So my once "I hate school" attitude has switched to "I dislike school", which is a big improvement, believe me. So there is really only 4 more days of classes and then finals, so Im not so bitter anymore. Unfortunately, since my school doesnt do anything practiacl, I have 2 finals the monday after Thanksgiving, which means I am staying here to study and dream of being compleately stuffed. But I get paid in Safeway money for being "RA for a day", so im gonna go get me some food!!! Well I hope all of you are well, I must leave to finish up some of my hw so i can take my Nyquil and peace out for then night. Love you!
