Mm, yes. Today was fun. I got to play Katrina in chess and we frolicked about Books-A-Million for several hours. Much fun. Saw a retard and Katrina, The Becca, and Steven stalked some poor 14 year old girls the entire time. All three of them, even Steven, lusted for the "Weasleys", as they were dubbed. 'Twas grand.

Alyse is back from vacation ^-^.

Now I'm torn, I want to sleep but I want to talk to folk. Deciiiiiiisions.

EDIT: Alyse sent me this, so I am posting it to hopefully cause some internal bleeding in Steven.

"Could it be that the European Commission has just announced an agreement
whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

Could it be that as part of the negotiations, the British Government
conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" would replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will
make the sivil servants jump with joy.

The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up
konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the
troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like
fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted
to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have
always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag
is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th"
with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords
kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl
riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu
understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in
ze forst plas."

That doesn't actually bother me. It's things like "ain't" where you someone pull a fucking "i" out of the words "am not." Or an "a" out of "is not." And hell, we already have a contraction for "is not." Therefore, "ain't" "isn't" intelligent!

And don't even get me started on the phrase "You've got mail."
