You are Kip Dynamite and you love technology.

Which Napoleon Dynamite character are you?

I still haven't seen that movie.

Your dark side is centered around Hopeless Faith. A
shattered broken heart holding its last breath,
searching for its salvation in a cold world.
All you want is a sweet loving heart, touchs
your hand and holds you in their arms,
prmoising you they will love you forever, so
you can feel that the whole world is revolved
around the both of you only, no more sorrow or
regret, just love. You will find what you want
when you believe in yourself and when you start
making your life with your own hands.

What is the center of your dark core? (updated)

That was a thoroughly and over-the-top-ly depressing quiz.

So we did our jazz ensemble at that little contest. Our biggest fan was our bus driver, lol . . . she was our roadie, our groupie, our paparazzi, complete with camera and everything.

This is cool, though: I didn't realize "Lullaby of Birdland" (one of the pieces we played) actually had lyrics:

Lullaby of birdland, that's what
I always hear when you sigh.
Never in my woodland
Could there be words to reveal
In a phrase how I feel.

Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love?
That's the kind of magic
Music we make with our lips
When we kiss.

And there's a weepy ol' willow:
He really knows how to cry.
That's how I cry in my pillow
If you should tell me
Farewell and goodbye.

Lullaby of Birdland, whisper low;
Kiss me sweet & we'll go.
Fliyin' high in Birdland
High in the sky up above,
All because we're in love.

I also, as they say, "covered myself in glory." As we were waiting to leave, I was Bothering Robert-- you know, as in "Bothering Snape" (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/potter.php)-- I have this thing, based on that (even though neither of them have seen it), where I go *with British accent* "Hi, I'm Amy" *with high British accent* "And I'm Robert!" *with original British accent* "And we're going to bother Alice. Ready? Go!" Only this time, Alice wasn't there, and so it was just me bothering Robert, and I tried to do the part from "Trouble at Hogwarts" (the sequel) where Ron comes flying in, "AAAHHHHHH!!!"-- and then stops, and stands there for a while, and finally goes, "BOTHER!!!"

So when I tried to do the "BOTHER!!!" I fell over. Yes, fell straight over. I fell flat on my back and just laid there laughing forever. Robert had to help me up after Mr. Briddell told me to get up. I think it was because I had tractionless shoes, but that was still pretty funny . . . a bunch of people looked at me, and so I had to wave. I also started bleeding, and had to make myself a poultice (yet another one) out of toilet paper to wear under my tights, lol . . .

My computer is getting annoying to burn CDs. I've gone through eight of them just trying to get Jessica's CD made. They just shut down the Windows Media Player program.

I am going to babysit some people tonight, and then tomorrow it's dress rehearsal for our concert, which is on Monday (YHO). Aww, no tutoring, then. I really need to get in more hours.

Working for hours is so pointless, you know. Just in general, even. It just makes you extend out the work. I would work more efficiently if I knew I could go back home and slack off as soon as I got done.

I finally did see "Braveheart."

Movies I still need to see (off the top of my head right now):
1) Citizen Kane.
2) Dogma.
3) Fahrenheit 9/11.

All have been recommended to me at some point or another, and I've just never gotten around to seeing them.
