"Devastation and Reform"

Relient K has been playing on my mindPod. I can't get it to stop because the pause/play button is stuck behind my forehead and the speakers are still on the inside playing out of my ears. This is probably why people cast funny sideways glances at me-- they can hear lyrics coming out of my head. I'm sure it's strange to be sitting next to me in class and hear

"I feel like I was born

For devastation and reform..."

I know I thought it was strange the first time I sat next to someone and heard it. I mean, it's not extremely audible by any means. It's one of those things you really have to listen to in order to hear it clearly. Everyone has one playing at some point, and most of the time if you listen really close and pay good attention, you'll be able to hear it whenever you like. It really tells a lot about them-- everyone has a song. 

Another thing I've noticed is that besides listening, if you look at someone for a really long time, you start to see these little strings shoot out and connect you to them. They thicken if you start talking or interacting to the person. Sort of interesting. 

Mr. Orr won't give me my paper back. I'm not sure why. It wasn't for class, it wasn't an assignment. He just walked over to my notebook and ripped it out after I read it. And now he won't give it back but I want it. Oh well. He probably couldn't hear me ask over his mindPod. It was too loud in the classroom for me to hear his song. 

This weekend is the Caswell Leadership Retreat. Ms Pearce wants me to go because I was invited and she thinks it would benefit me, but I don't think I'll be able to because of work. I'd have to find someone to cover for me tomorrow and Monday, and the chances of that are pretty slim. So I will probably stay home and work and do homework and church and maybe go to the movies with my brother on Saturday and spend the night with some friends on Sunday. I'm not sure yet. I am really tired. I wish I could spend at whole day hibernating without worry and stress, but even if that happened, I would have a ten times more stressful day once I woke up. Whatever. 

I need to turn off my mindPod. Oh, I remember how! See the button is behind my forehead... so all I need to do is slam my head against the wall until it shuts off....
