Another year sings upon our wings
People file slowly in winter's sliding door
Hark! Can I hear the sounds of a sun?
Interest your party with our sights.
Lash out your rings and your smites
Long at last we come undone, till thee our time is of elegant dawn.

Of course, all this is bullshit, I just wanted to do one. I'm taking a
literature class. Right now, I'm reading a boat load of poop,
considered famous by the scholars of our time. I did enjoy a story
called, A&P by John Updike. I got an F for insulting the teacher when
we were to read "Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" by Ursula K Le Quin.
The teacher was into it, I wasn't. We butted heads. I really don't
think my professor understands who she is attempted to teach. I'm
sorry, but it's all so subjective. Ok 1+2=18, wrong! I can
understand that, but to say my thoughts on someone's work of
imagination can be wrong! How can that be?

What did you like about it?

> I got an F for insulting the teacher

This must be Plotkin's and Short's wet dream: to give us all an F for
"insulting" their games.

So, like, what exactly did you call her to earn an F?

If objective literary analysis were impossible, lit professors would lose
their jobs.

Slightly less than a C average? I'm impressed.

Does anyone else drive their car and hold their balls at the same time?
I noticed myself doing this today. I have my right hand on the lower
portion of the steering wheel and my left hand craddled around my nuts.

I'm starting the beginning bits of code for the new Santoonie IF.
w00t.

Um. Oh. I found a new way to entertain myself. I've been frequenting
the local pool hall and they got a new cd jukebox that allows you to
play songs off the web. So...I've become the 'dj' there.
By dropping a whopping twenty dollars per sitting, everyone has had to
endure hours of Dokken. I've been thrown out for over intoxication but
never this.

Nothing counters hip hop like Ratt's "Round and Round". I guess you
would laugh at the funny site of me standing at the bar pounding my
foot to the rythym of Ratt. I try to keep all of my excitement to my
lower extremities so as not to attract unwanted attention.

First an acrostic, and now one of those puzzles where you have
to put the sentences in the right order. Here's my solution:
