Lady–Conclusion

it is amazing just how fragile we really are.

one never stops to think about just how easy it is for a single life to be snatched away, or how much that single life may mean to one or many many people.

the only time we really stop to think about it is when it happens to someone who we could not think it could happen to.

Annie, I shall miss you far more than you could ever know

Why can I not ever have a good day?

Everything looked good when i went to bed this morning. then someone comes knocking on the door saying that annie (my step-sister) has been in some horrible car accident, that she is at the hospital, that she is not awake, nor has she been since she got there.

needless to say, i have spent the last 4 or 5 hours at a hospital hoping that my sister does not die.

if i wind up making myself scarce for the next couple of weeks, that would be why.

Annie, we are all praying for you, get better, we demand it!

Machine Guns Ready To Go

Music: Another One Bites The Dust ~ Queen
So I was thinking about my hatred of internet explorer (due mostly to the fact that I am on my mom's computer, and she has, for some totally unfathomable reason, uninstalled Firefox. For the THIRD TIME!), and I thought about doing an entry about just how much I hated it.
I then realized that there's not enough time in the day to do something of that magnitude.
So, I invite all of you who don't read this to go leave comments pertaining to your hatred of this evil browser as well.
Internet Explorer, Oh how much I hate thee...
Let me count the ways...
1. unsafe
2. evil
3. tabless
4. pop-ups in abundance
5. microsoft
6. too large to be of any use
and from here I leave this into your more than capble hands

We’ll Free Them From Their Condos

ah math
in order to get through my high school math classes i came up with this little theory.  it worked wonders.
even if it was because i got credit for creativity.
My theory of Random Mathmatics is as follows:
Any question can have any answer for any reason.
simple isn't it?
here's an example
Question:
2+7=?
Answer:
Waffles
Why?
The chair has been glued to the ceiling.

There’s Damsels In Distress Out There And We’ve Got All This Beer

Music: Ballad To T.V. Violence ~ Cheap Trick
nothing like 4 days off to remind someone that they have no life...
I lie about the house watching tv or rebuilding my music library (which I got way too lucky on that, I will explain later), and go to Starbucks.
I really need to talk to someone who works there about some stuff, but she is always *gasp* working. how odd is that?
anyway, off to do something odd for my sister.

The Day The Music Died

Music: The Happiest Days Of Our Lives ~ Roger Waters
Ah, The Great Music Massacre...
Yes, it has achieved proper noun status in my mind.
For those of you who somehow missed it, the drive that I keep all my MP3s on crashed.  No more musics for Gale.
That makes Gale sad.
This time through, however, Gale is going to put all the albums on CD-R discs.  As Zip files so as to save a few CD-R discs.
Gale is clever like that.
Gale is going to put all of the CD-R discs in a safe place for if this ever happens again.  There will also be some papers hidden away that explains just what is on each of those CD-R discs.
Gale is also clever like that.
That is all for now.
Gale says goodnight!

Something Touched Me Deep Inside

so, yeah.
it would seem that the drive i kept all my music upon crapped out on me.
this makes me sad.
anyway, i was off some place the other night and they were selling farscape dvds for $1.99 each.
too bad I don't like farscape.
anyway
have fun.

Come In Here Dear Boy, Have A Cigar, You’re Gonna Go Far…

I had this big thing typed out, but i decided to scrap it based on the fact that it was too whiny.  even for lj, so, here ya go.
enjoy
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar.
You're gonna go far, fly high,
You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if you try;they're gonna love you.
Well I've always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincerely.
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy
we call it Riding the Gravy Train.
We're just knocked out.
We heard about the sell out.
You gotta get an album out,
You owe it to the people. We're so happy we can hardly count.
Everybody else is just green, have you seen the chart?
It's a helluva start, it could be made into a monster
if we all pull together as a team.
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy
we call it Riding the Gravy Train.
