Class report!

[candyland]

I'm in Visual Basic right now--I think I'm going to enjoy this class =D The professor who was supposed to teach it was Dr. Smith, but he was hit by a car while riding his bike. He's in the hospital with a LOT of serious injuries. I hope he recovers soon =(

So one of the professors who retired last year came in to teach our class. Dr. T...he's spastic, he's enthusiastic, he's crazy, and I think I'm going to have a good time while he's here. Kinda hope he's around for a while =P Thus far, we've discussed how his family name is an architectural masterpiece because of the patterns of the letters. We've talked about how all business problems can be solved if you get a Coke license. We've gone over what a computer is. And we've learned how they fill pop bottles with exactly 16 ounces of Mountain Dew (a paddlewheel linked to a shut-off valve! HA!)

We're discussing coding and stuff...it sort of sounds like we might be doing some basic html... *goes starry-eyed at the idea of being able to do more fun stuff online*

I'm also very excited about choir right now. We're singing "Battle Hymn of the Republic," which we sing every year. Hell, my father sang that version of Battle Hymn when he was in high school back in the highest days of ancient Egypt. But then we're singing Z. Randall Stroope's "Homeland." I sang this song twice in high school, and I worship it! If anybody wants to hear a recording of it, I have the one my high school choir did. But it's beautiful--it could be about any country or place, and it's patriotic without being cheesy.

And then...we're doing "How Can I Keep from Singing?" *melts into a little happy-puddle of Candy-goo* I can't remember the composer/arranger's name, but it's the one with the blue cover. This will mark the third time that I've sung it, and I love it more and more every time I sing it. It's sooooooo beautiful, with a great message....and I'm going to brand myself a music nerd forever with this, but the key change makes me chordgasm. BIG TIME.

I'll probably post lyrics later, just to share the fun =D

My life goes on in endless song above Earth's lamentations. I hear the clear though far-off hymn that hails a new creation. No storm can shake my inmost calm, while to that rock I'm clinging. Since God is Lord of Heaven and Earth, how can I keep from singing?

I love that song.

LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOOVE!! This is the third time I've sung it. I always get chills at that big key change at "I lift my eyes..."

[articulation.livejournal.com]

It's such a pretty song. ♥

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm glad that you're having fun~ *is bored as hell without anything to do, though she's trying to get into the mood to write--gaaah, Confrontation on loop ♥*

Can't you see it's--over now! It's time to die!
No, not I--only you!
If I die--you die too!
You'll die in me--I'll be you!

...I'm obsessing, lemme alone *goes into a corner and plots and schemes and wtf plunnies?*

Hello, person I don't know. I just have to say that you just typed the lyrics to my favorite part of Jekyll and Hyde.

Damn you, Hyde. Set me free!
Can't you see? You are me!
No! Deep inside!
I am you. You are Hyde.

That just made my day. xD

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

I've only just gotten my hands on a CD of the musical and have been stuck on Confrontation for hours XDD

And yes! That part is just...the BEST. ♥

*two-fingered salute* Always glad to meet new people and make them happy~!

[articulation.livejournal.com]

Isn't that cd love? Seriously, I could listen to it for hours and not get bored. Everything is just so good.

Meeting new people is fun. :D

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

Well the CD that I have is my sister's and it's a bit weird...on the messed-up side I think. Ah, well...that's what you get when you bootleg.

...I'll probably bug Candy to give me the whole soundtrack sooner or later XD

Yes it is~ Nice to meetcha! :D

[articulation.livejournal.com]

xD Bootleg cds are kinda sketch because of that. That's why my "steal cds from the library and burn them onto my computer" plan doesn't work all that well all the time.

Nice to meet you, too. :D

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

This is true and this is why I have friends like Candy XDD Just kidding~

...it's sad...I actually took time to sit here and type out the lyrics for the entire song XDD

[articulation.livejournal.com]

xD

Don't feel bad. I've done that, too. xD

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

Would you believe I have the whole soundtrack of the Phantom of the Opera movie that came out a little while ago written down on paper? I get really bored sometimes. And musicals pwn my soul XD;;;;

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

*dotdotdot* *mopes*

...I actually collect song lyrics. If I hear a song I like, then I'll sit down and type out the lyrics. I probably have several hundred Word files in this folder with just song lyrics ^^;;

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

*pats* ^____^;; Of course you know that isn't the only reason I have you as a friend! Who else would hit me on the head when I ask them to?

XDDD I try not to do that actually. I really, really try not to...and I just tried looking for those pages of paper I had with the Phantom of the Opera lyrics but I can't seem to find 'em :D;;;

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I actually ripped my copy from my sister's CD right onto my laptop >.>;; But yesh, you may bug me at will--I'll upload it for you whenever you like!!

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

...jshDGJKSAHGKghjkfdshg I hate to ask for things like that, but whenever you have the chance...? ^___^;;;;;; I'll...I'll so work hard to get the vampire fic done within a week of you giving it to me!

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I will do it at the first available chance ♥ And I'm holding you to that vampire fic promise! ;D

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

*nervous sweating but zomg so going to try to make it happen~!*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Freakin' awesome! And...is it weird that I can see Kaito singing that song? I mean, between Kaito and KID? It fits, goshdarnit! *is thwapped*

*patpat* We all obsess, s'okay ♥

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

But Kid's not evil. But I can tell you that song will be big help in helping me get to writing that vampire fic. *thumbs up*

*patpat'd* But I obsess so often...

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

YAY!! I fully support anything that will help you write! *cheers*

Obsessing is fun--don't worry!

BTW, how dare you two have an LJ comment-war without me! ;D

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

^___^;;; Now if only I can stop spamming my friends LJ like this...XDDD

I skip around in my obsessions. FYI: Detective Conan/Magic Kaitou is the longest obsession I've ever had--over two years and running, wh00t~

What war? We were being nice and whatnot, you came in and made it a war! >D!

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Eh, LJ spamming is fun >:D And my DC/MK obsession is in the running for my longest obsession as well--it'll be two years this fall ♥ There are worse things in life, I s'pose =D

*flailflailflail* The one time this happens on my LJ, I miss the first half of it!!

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

...dotdotdot...I think we started the fandom at the same time...O_o;;;;

*pats and loves on* It's okay~ There's always time enough for another spam session to come about~!

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Sounds like we might have gotten into it around the same time, actually! I posted my first fic for it on ff-dot-net at the beginning of November in '04...and now I have an idea for a sequel ^^;;

*sniffles* Promise? *looks up at you all teary-eyed*
