    Will you drop by MSN?

    There are other schools, right?
    I can understand far more than I'd like the "Trying to overcome the fuckups from highschool" stuff. >__>; It's not my fault I was marked truant for 3/4 of my last school year before dropping out! Honest!
    At least I'm back on the right track now, or at least I tell myself.
    As I was walking down the stair,
    I met a man who wasn't there.
    He wasn't there again today.
    I wish, I wish he'd go away.

    It looks like Ed's bad news has just caused a massive downer.

    So I'm going to fix it the only way I know how.

    Marathon Audiosurf session.

    I know you'll get accepted somewhere.

    I hope you'll come back soon.

    I'm sorry... I suck at comforting people at times like this. I truly believe you'll be accepted at the next university you apply to though.

    Better buff up your Power Supply score before I demolish it tonight.
