Reading this blog has made people want to kill themselves, so if you are easily depressed, perhaps you should find something more uplifting to do, like watch a Holocaust documentary or read a Cormac McCarthy novel.

i love being sick

4:00 AM and here i sit, at my computer, unable to sleep because of a sore throat and a body refusing to fall asleep. this happened last time i went to KI, too, the not sleeping. maybe if i get too much adrenaline in a given day, my body gets overtired and can't sleep. all i know is i can't seem to get my brain to turn off and my body seems much to alert for 4:00 AM. i did mention it's 4:00 AM, right?

doesn't help that i woke up at 1:00 AM to nature's call, only to feel a spider crawling on me. and then it wouldn't let go. kept jumping from one part of my body to another. i'm getting creeped out just typing about it. i can only imagine what it might have done had i not gotten up. *shudder*

KI with shannon was great, as always. park was a bit more crowded than usual for dividend day - no walking straight onto rides. but we rode everything we wanted to and the best ones (delirium, backward racer, vortex and, of course, the beast) twice. saw several students, per usual, who always look at me strangely, knowing i don't work at P&G and wondering what i'm doing there. got a decent bag of goodies, too, though they were sorely lacking in male items this year.

the search continues: eharmony is indeed free this weekend, so i've been taking advantage by going through my matches and making some contact. it being my first time and feeling quantity is probably better than quality at this point, i've established communication with 27 potential matches. so far i've gotten through the first two or three steps with eight of them. the rest aren't around this weekend or aren't interested. not feeling a spark from any of them yet, but then still don't have a lot of info about them at this point. shannon did suggest i only sign up for three months and then let it lapse, because they offer special deals to resign up - she's currently on a month to month basis for 12.95 a month. much better than the buy a year's worth for 20.95. will probably sign up this week, just so i can take full advantage of the site (read: see some pictures)

it's like i've swallowed semi-molten gravel, which has lodged itself in my throat. oi the pain.

ok, i'm going to go read and hopefully fall back asleep. think i'll be getting bread for communion and seeing if someone can cover for me - no one likes an officiant whose nose is dripping into the cup (how' s that for an image?). please, sleep, come.

we just had a female friend from Columbus stop by and go to church with us this morning. She was actually on staff with me at the church in Westerville helping out with our youth ministry. Anyway, she mentioned something about doing the e-harmony thing and a big light went off in my head. now I know it probably gets scary when friends start interfering like this...but I've got this weird feeling about the possibilities. She's 28, hilarious, and a redhead...seriously. I'll email you with some more details.
