Ladies and Gentleman, may I present to you a rant, for your reading pleasure. There will be no title, because it really doesn't need one. Besides, I'm lazy and I'd rather get straight to the point. Shall we?
This rant begins were most rants do: in the brain. Hormones blazing, electrolytes causing a massive rucous (sp?), a small internal war that would rival any real one. Thank goodness I only feel the anger part.
Then again I'm not really angry. I'm annoyed, and maybe I am feeling a little peeved. Afterall, when an online friend promises he'll be around and then isn't, or rather he is but he conveniently forgets to let you know, well it's enough to cause some discomfort. Think a mosquito bite, except I wish I were doing the biting.
I take my friendships online seriously. Why? Call it respect. Call it trust. Even better, call it a desire to become friends with people I might never have met had it not been for the internet. It's a wonderful opportunity, and fortunately many of these friendships are honest, and they've lasted no matter how awful the arguments. Hell, my best friend online and I have only had one major fight and that was almost three years ago (nothing else counts damnit).
The thing is, I had another friend. He was really dear to me, and in a way he still is, which may mean I'm being foolish by continuing to have an emotional investment in this relationship that is practically non-existant. Gone are the phone calls, the laughter, the praise, the heartache, the melodrama. It's just not there. It hasn't been there.
Video games are his lovers. Pity his nextdoor neighbor. And there is more, but that would just be too cruel.
Yes, I know his life has changed for the better. A part of me wants to say I'm happy, but I really don't care anymore. How can I when the same person who says he misses me doesn't even make an effort to remedy it. There was a promise. "I miss you so much. You mean something to me still." You've been online all day and not once have you popped in to say hello.
How much you miss me. How much you wish things could be like there were back then. Cry me a river. It all flows in the opposite direction anyway.
You can have your new life. Afterall, I don't know you anymore. They're your new friends now. Great! Just don't say you miss me, or you miss him, or you miss anyone, because it's not true. And even if it is true, it's not worth salvaging to you.
You're under the impression you can just come back and start up where you left off. It doesn't work that way. It won't be easy. It may not ever be.
Happy Birthday my friend. I'm giving you the greatest gift I have. I'm letting you go so you won't have to lie to me anymore. I'm telling you it's ok for you not to say that you miss me because I know it's not true. I'm not a little girl. You don't have to shelter me from the truth. Just go and live your new life, because it's obvious I'm not and never will be in it anymore.

Methinks I'm getting sick!!! Ack!! I've been sniffling all day, and it's just not a good thing. ::laughs:: There's way too much going on this week, and being sick just doesn't fit in my schedule.
I did meet with J today, and we discussed strategy. It's a little difficult right now to do much because we don't know what side we're doing first, but we did come up with a few themes. Bible related themes (and I actually picked the stories before him!!!!) which I know will amuse someone I know. I can't really go into detail. The competition may come here and see if I slip up and divulge pertinent information, but it's ALL MINE!!!! BWAH HA HA!! I shall be victorious. ahem.
The case itself deals with slander. In this case the defendant accused the plaintiff of adultery in front of the partners of their law firm. The defendant caught his wife and the plaintiff at a motel were both were wearing towels or lack thereof. It's really quite interesting. Oh, and apparently said wife has cheated on the defendant before with an associate of the law firm. His name: Brad Pitt. Her name: Sharon Stoner. I kid you not. Color me amused.

Everything makes a little more sense now.

I went to bed in a pissy mood, and I woke up in a pissy mood. Go figure. Sorry, no juicy details revealed here. And I just realized, I didn't write a single journal entry for January. Shame on me.
Please, just get me though Sunday. Make it worthwhile and entertaining. Forget the fact that I have to download a bunch of cases from Westlaw for tomorrow night's class. La de da.

News broke on CNN two minutes after NASA lost contact. By 8:30 CT the stations were reporting the news.
I've been fighting back tears. I was 9 yrs old when the Challenger happened. I saw it on tv like everyone else, and now this. It's still chilling.
My sympathies to the families of the astronauts on the Colombia.

Ok, it's the Friday Five. I haven't done this in a while, so I guess I could do this.
1. As a child, who was your favorite superhero/heroine? Why? Wonder Woman. I always liked her bracelets, and I thought it was cool that she was Greek and related to the gods and goddesses.
2. What was one thing you always wanted as a child but never got? The ability to walk? I mean I can walk on my knees, but I always thought life would be better if I could walk like a regular person. Then I wouldn't look different. At least that's what I wanted as a kid.
3. What's the furthest from home you've been? Rome, Italy. That was my graduation present, and this summer it may be further, assuming my knowledge of geography is correct.
4. What's one thing you've always wanted to learn but haven't yet? A third language. I know bits and pieces of a few languages, but I would love to be trilingual. One of these days I'll pick up German again and learn it well this time. Sprechen sie Deutsch?
5. What are your plans for the weekend? Get ahold of J and work on mock trial stuff. Actually do work. At least do the readings for the week so I can devote my free time to mock. Find witnesses. Learn techniques to kill stress. The competition is on Wednsday and Thursday, and whomever breaks goes on to semifinals that next Monday and Tuesday. I would love to break, except I have class on both those evenings, and thanks to the draconian absence policy of the school, BOA is going to have to work around it if I break. I wanna break!!!

I'm an irredeemably eejitous, liberal, not-too-generous, not-too-selfish, relatively well adjusted human being!
See how compatible you are with me!

I'm 75% compatible with jonni. hehe

In an effort to protect internet privacy, Verizon has asked for a stay to prevent having to turn over information on a file-swapper. The thing that surprises me, and I wish I had caught when I read the DMCA, was the fact that copyright holders can get subpoenas without a judge's signature. How is it that Congress let this through? You can't get a subpoena without a judge's approval in trials, what makes this so different? It screams, "abuse me."

The audition for the Valentine's Cabaret went well. Very well. Daniel liked it, especially when Katie came in with the harmony. So, come the 13th and 15th we'll be singing "Angel" by Sarah McLachlin. I just hope I do the song justice.
