if you read my myspace blog, don't read this because it's the same stuff.

i love simon & garfunkel. i really do. i grew up listening to them. i know the words to most of their songs - "mrs robinson" is the first song i remember singing [except for "doo wa diddy" of course. that remains an all time favorite since i apparently used to dance around the kitchen to it while still in diapers]. "cecelia" and "the boxer" are also wonderful.
for my integrating faith & theory class, we had to pick a song & write a paper about it. i chose "the sound of silence" because it's a great song & i like it a lot. however, there's so much meaning behind it that i'm having a difficult time weeding out things and making the paper make sense. i should not have put it off until the last minute, but that's just the way i do things. i'm not sure why. i think i like the pressure i put on myself. it's motivating. one time i wrote a 5 page paper in a little under 4 hours. yes, i am awesome. i am definately not loving this assignment, though.
it's due in less than 12 hours and i have a stomach ache and all i really want to do is go to bed and not think about fimon & sargunkel for a while.
i think i will. i hope i have good dreams. it's 3 in the gosh darn morning, for pete's sake.
i hope you all have good dreams as well. perhaps you are in the middle of having a good dream. if you are, there's a good chance you're not reading this. wouldn't it be funny if you were having a dream that i was updating about you having a good dream?
ugggh it's sleep time. fo sho. haha i never say that. i think i will from now on. i'm a little behind the times. it's okay.
SLEEP. okay fine.
i'm also a little hungry and could really go for some KFC coleslaw.
i haven't seen a pair of twins in a while. where did they all go?
please excuse denise neal from life today, as she has completely gone off the deep end.

I am done with my paper. Do you know what my favorite sentence is? I will share it with you because I am proud of it:
"The song ebbs and flows over descriptive lyrics and striking musicality, describing an America searching for truth in music and life while also creating a deep yet surprisingly catchy tune that steadily climbed the charts in 1966, eventually reaching number one."
It just might be the best sentence I've ever written. Yep.
Coffee or sleep? I don't know. I think I will eat a peanut butter & strawberry jelly sandwhich and then take a shower. Who knows.

any one of the various people that said this to me today: "It's not Valentine's Day, it's Singles Awareness Day."
me: "I am aware of the fact that I'm single every other one of the 364 days of the year. Why must we dedicate this one day to announcing it to the world?"
Today was good. I went to all of my classes and that always makes me feel productive.
Tonight I became a bitter old shrew. I helped my room mates get ready to go out with their boyfriends and dates and then settled in to watch "Friends" and pluck my eyebrows. O what an exciting life I lead.
A few hours later I joined Ashley, Liz, Rose, Austin, Daniel, Paul, Matt, Josh, Joey, James, George, and Andrew at James' house. I watched James paint, talked to Liz & Andrew, and watched the rest of the people play Texas Hold 'Em. Rose won. I can only play when I have my little envelope that says which hand beats which. Alas, I did not have it.
Now I am back in my dorm. Home sweet home.
I just hiccupped and I have to pee a little.
That is the latest news from the life of Denise. I hope you enjoyed it.
