| anything but ordinary, avril lavigneso i listen to avril lavigne, sue me.
played some ball yesterday. mooney had me adjust my stance and i started hitting a lot better. high point of the last week easy, last month probably. how sad is that?
still don't have a job yet. boo.
rachel's going to be inducing on wednesday, pray that she and dave and the newcomer all make it out healthy and alive and such.
ugh.
every night i sit here staring at this screen, wishing i could be done with school and not worrying about stuff anymore. it's been pretty well established by now that i'm not really interested in my major. i'm not against it, mind you, i don't hate it...i'm just not interested. it's one of those discoveries i've made...i like learning about things superficially, i like being relatively knowledgeable about a number of topics, but i'm not totally into all of them. turns out, software engineering is one of those. of course, the things i do know pretty well are relatively useless: books, baseball, a disturbingly encyclopedic knowledge of pokemon that defies all reason...
point is, i like working, but job searching is ridiculous because a) i'm not interested in my major, and b) i'm not really interested in a career. my favorite job was working at a canning factory, and second favorite was here at the library. nothing difficult, just solid "show up, do your duty, go home". i know gobs of people here who hate the drudgery, but i love it because it means (generally) i can shut my brain off and just work. and i need that opportunity to shut my brain off because i'm running at 130% the rest of the time. i'm always thinking, always daydreaming, always letting my mind run on tangents. it's so hard to stay focused on anything that requires concentration, so i find myself most productive when i do things that don't take active cognitive concentration.
i miss my big metal box. i miss hauling pallets around. i miss scarring up my hands on those blasted cans. i miss watching stacy dance in the rain.
i miss the stars.

Just what I saw in my old dreams
Were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me?

| still alive, jonathan coultonbeen a while, i realize. who knows if that's going to change much.
a while back i wrote up what is essentially the story of my life in lyric form. points if you can name all nine songs:
**********
Wise men say, only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you.
Don't depend on me to ever follow through on
Anything but I'd go through hell for you.
In my dreams, your dreams
Are the only things
That really matter to me
When you smile, I smile
What makes you happy makes me happy too
In my dreams, your dreams come true.
Life just sucks. I lost the one.
I'm givin' up. She found someone.
Does he treat you like you want?
Does he ask to take your hand?
Does he believe in dreams we talked about?
She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storm's gone I'm all torn up inside.
But life still goes on
I can't get used to living without,
living without, living without you, by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own
So baby can't you see?
I've got to break free.
I guess it's over, baby
It's really over, baby,
And from what you're saying
I know you've gotten over me
It'll never be the way it used to be
So if it's gotta be this way
Don't worry, baby, I can take the news okay
But if you see me walking by, and the tears are in my eyes,
Look away, baby, look away.
If we meet on the street some day, and I don't know what to say,
Look away, baby, look away.
Don't look at me, I don't want you to see me this way.
i'm here without you baby
but you're still on my lonely mind
i think about you baby
and i dream about you all the time
i'm here without you baby
but you're still with me in my dreams
and tonight girl
it's only you and me...
*********
the weird thing is, i'm actually doing pretty well in this regard. i'm not nearly as hung up as i used to be. if you were particularly bold, you could venture that i'm moving on.
and then i have ridiculous dreams where the subject of these verses chews me out for not moving on. i'm still spooked.

Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?

| while playing guitar hero III this afternoon:
"There are some things I have accepted that I will never be able to do in video games. I will never beat Emerald WEAPON without looking at the internet. I will never beat Through the Fire and Flames on expert, and you know I'm fine with that. I will never catch them all."
ian decided to quote me. and i re-read it and decided it was actually kinda funny too.

| one of these days i'll make a real post about the end of my co-op. for now, more nonsense!
Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?
Final Fantasy X
because auron is the MAN. i really should have beaten that game
instead of playing 95% of the way through like i tend to do. i even
got his dead sexy ultimate weapon! and his name is spelled like mine. that's always good for brownie points.
