i'm going to Conseco to see water catch fire. or so they're claiming. i've been considering it for a month or so but didn't know if it would actually work out. i'm taking a girl who just started college (from my care group and cheerleading squad), and it turns out her parents might spring for a hotel room for us for friday night so we don't have to take off at the ungodly hour of 5 a.m.!!! i definitely wouldn't mind that at all, though i will feel slightly guilty. i mean, i'm too cheap (read:poor) to do that on my own, but it would be so much nicer to have the evening to relax since the day will be mostly running (swim prelims at 9:30, finals at 7, then drive home whenever they're finished). from the seats that i was able to get at such late notice, i'm hoping they're not akin to the ones we procured at the linkin park concert in portland after finding out too late that the seating was general admission. (section, row and seats were indicated on the tickets, for sobbing out loud!) i'm in desperate need of a digital zoom cam ... any offers to borrow for the weekend of the 9th? sam, would your video cam be available?? i would be taking more time off work (since i have a full week of vacation left and nothing to do) for the finals on monday, but that's the week i definitely cannot be out of the office, of course. two coworkers are going on a missions trip to costa rica. i guess i can't really be upset at that, can i? i suppose i'd be the most heathen person alive. that's also the weekend, i just found out, that my parents are going to be fielding the niece and nephew. i'm assuming i'll be designated wed-thu-fri keeper of the rugrats from the moment i step in the door after work to make up for it. at least elijah will have preschool wed & fri afternoon so they can all preserve their sanity. do i sound a little cynical? well, only because the grandparents tend to get a little stressed out and then take it out on the people the least responsible for the stress (i.e., parents or yours truly).
in other news, i'm officially hoping (much to my parents' chagrin) that my car lasts till the year 2010. wow, that sounds like a year space-odyssey worthy, but really it's only 6 years. anyway, i don't know if, again, it's that i'm cheap or just practical. i just cannot justify another car payment for a car that i'm perfectly happy with. it doesn't have many frills or extras, but i need a way to get from point a to point b, not much more. if the stereo goes, there will be a problem, but other than that ...
okay, time to sign off.

Tainted Love/Soft Cell
Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night
(chorus)
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted love
Tainted love
Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want IT any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you'll think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
(chorus...)
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love (x2)
Touch me baby, tainted love (x2)
Tainted love (x3)
