You know what's cool? 98° - Ave Maria. It's off of their Christmas cd. It sounds really cool.

We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another. - Luciano de Crescenzo There's been a sudden onslaught of formal askages. Crazy. But what's the point of going if you're not going with someone you want to go with? Do people just enjoy the idea of going to formal, regardless of who they go with? Sounds a bit foolish to me.

And no one likes to be alone. Isn't anyone trying to find me? Won't somebody come take me home? I got a letter today. It's been a long time since I've gotten a letter from anybody. You know, when Mrs Tsai Wong told us to write about the best gift we've ever gotten, I couldn't really think of anything. Really. I still can't think of anything. When I think the best gift I've ever gotten, I search my memory for something that just blew me away. I'm not trying to diss all the gifts I've ever gotten. I really appreciated them and I'm grateful for them. But... I don't know. I'm gonna start sounding very contradictory soon.

You know, this whole gift-giving thing really should stop. I feel bad when someone gives me a gift and I give them a "Thanks" in return. Next year, nobody get me anything for my birthday or for Christmas. Please--I'm begging you. Not like you'll listen. And even if you do, I bet you'll forget. That's the way it goes. Almost doesn't count.

Tomorrow is the packedest day. Packed-est. Most packed. I have like six things going on tomorrow. You'll all see me in a very different way very soon. I'm gonna change. Like a metamorphosis. You know, how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly? How a knave becomes a knight? Well this is how an old-Gordon becomes a totally-awesomely-new-Gourdonn. Or something like that. Not to say that the old-Gordon was a knave. He was just ... right. Have you ever wondered how it feels to spend a few years or however long inside a cocoon? Wouldn't it be really boring? You'd have nothing to do in there. Can't even fit in a magazine to read when you go number two. Is it worth all that stuff to become a butterfly? Perhaps. I suppose it depends on how long a caterpillar lives and how long a butterfly lives. Is it mandatory that you become a butterfly if you're a caterpillar? What if some caterpillars just want to stay caterpillars? They're like, "Hey! I'm gonna stay a caterpillar whether you like it or not." I think being a caterpillar might be fun. Nobody would bother you. You'd live a nice, peaceful caterpillar life. That is, unless some bird comes down to eat you or a human comes to torture you. The chances of that, however, are one in a million, you're once in a lifetime, you made me discover one of the stars above us!

Lately I've been trying to be nicer. It's hard to change, though. Note: This is not the change I was talking about in the previous paragraph. But I just wanna be nicer. Sometimes I don't like who I am. I'm sure you all knew that. If you see me being mean, tell me to be nice. =P Wow I wrote a lot. Only some of it is worth reading, though. Too bad you guys read all of it!! Unless you're a cheater and you skipped down to the bottom. Cheaters suck. Don't cheat.
