whoo! That was a bit longer than I thought it'd be. Almost not abridged anymore. Course, considering how long the original stuff is, I don't feel so bad. :)
Life is happiness right now. No more cold, just a sinus headache. Bunch of tests next week and week after, ickiness. Speaking of... homework calls, bleh. But I've just spent almost an hour avoiding it, so... yeah. Later.
