First of all&#8230;. check out this screen shot from a game called <A href=\"http:\/\/www.dragonempires.com\" target=_new>Dragon Empires<\/a>.  I think it&#8217;s pretty stinking awesome&#8230; and whether you like computer games or not&#8230; I think that you should think it is pretty cool too:<BR><BR><IMG SRC=\"http:\/\/www.codemasters.com\/dragonempires\/uk\/imagelibrary\/Mar7_de_lake.jpg\"><BR><BR>Also, earlier today I downloaded mp3s of a demo cd recorded by David Bazan (of Pedro the Lion fame) in 1994.  And I have to tell you&#8230; this is really awesome stuff.  But it&#8217;s almost impossible to believe it was written by the same guy that wrote Control \ud83d\ude42  They are vastly different.  Anyway, it&#8217;s all just acoustic guitar and him singing.  It&#8217;s really simple and I think that&#8217;s why I like it so much.<BR><BR>Check it out, you can download it <A href=\"http:\/\/www.cvb.cc\/adam\/bazandemo.zip\" target=_new>here<\/a>.<BR><BR>Oh yeah, and I filled out this little form thing that I found on Zack&#8217;s page when I was killing time earlier&#8230;.  so I thought maybe I&#8217;d post that on here now too.<BR><BR>If you don&#8217;t want to read it all, I don&#8217;t blame you&#8230; just skip down to the bottom and comment now \ud83d\ude09<BR><BR>Here you go:<BR><BR>1)First grade teacher&#8217;s name: Mrs. Kane.  She was also my 4th grade teacher.  And she was my favorite teacher in elementry school&#8230; how about that?<BR>2) Last words you said: I actually don&#8217;t remember&#8230;. I was talking to this girl this morning as I was walking to class, but I was really tired.  I probably said something like &#8220;bye&#8221; or &#8220;see ya later&#8221; though&#8230; and that&#8217;s probably the last thing i said.  I doubt I talked to anyone once I got to class.  I probably just sat there in a daze. <BR>3) Last song you sang: &#8220;Space Robot 5,&#8221; by Brave Saint Saturn<BR>4) Last person you hugged:\u00a0Don&#8217;t know&#8230; someone at home though.  Oh, actually, either my mom or dad.  Don&#8217;t remember which one last though.\u00a0<BR>5) Last thing you laughed at:\u00a0Zack. <BR>6) Last time you said &#8216;I love you&#8217;:\u00a0I don&#8217;t really keep track, but I&#8217;m sure it hasn&#8217;t been too long.<BR>7) Last time you cried:\u00a0Maybe a few weeks ago.<BR>8) What&#8217;s in your CD player:\u00a0Brave Saint Saturn &#8211; So Far From Home\u00a0<BR>9) What colour socks are you wearing: No socks, just sandals.<BR>10) What&#8217;s under your bed:\u00a0the floor.  My bed is a mattress on the floor of our closet.  There is nothing between it and the floor.  not even air.\u00a0<BR>11) What time did you wake up today: 7:40 <BR>12) Current taste:\u00a0Crest?<BR>13) Current hair:\u00a0Pretty short compared to what it was.  I like it though.\u00a0<BR>14) Current clothes:\u00a0blue switchfoot shirt&#8230;  jeans&#8230;  sandals.<BR>15) Current annoyance:\u00a0the female gender?<BR>16) Current longing: that the female gender would cease doing what it is that they do that causes me frustration.<BR>17) Current desktop picture: a really cool Further Seems Forever background<BR>18) Current worry: I think there&#8217;s too many to list \ud83d\ude42<BR>19) Current hate:\u00a0ummm.. schoolwork.<BR>20) Story behind your journal user name:\u00a0Once upon a time I used IRC (Internet Relay Chat for you non-computer-internet-saavy people), and for a time, it was good.  I used multiple nicknames on it&#8230; ummm..  probably my longest running one was creation, which was sometimes shortened to just Crea.  I don&#8217;t remember why I used that one, but it is of no relation to the Creation festival, as was sometimes thought.  Anyway, Reese came about because one day I decided it would be fun to see if I could convince people on IRC that I was Reese Roper, of Five Iron Frenzy.  Anyway, another friend of mine impersonated some other member of Five Iron&#8230;  I don&#8217;t remember who he was impersonating&#8230; but anyway, we had a lot of people actually believing us&#8230; but don&#8217;t worry, we told them later that we weren&#8217;t really.  Anyway, my friend went back to his old nick, but I just sort of kept mine.  and ummm&#8230; never got around to changing it.  The 268 just comes from the fact that Reese was taken, and for some reason I have a strange fascination with the number 268.  So there you have it.<BR>21) Current favourite article of clothing:\u00a0umm.. I like all the new shirts and jeans I just got while i was at home. <BR>22) Favourite physical feature of the opposite sex\/same sex:\u00a0Face\/eyes&#8230; without the pretty face the rest means nothing \ud83d\ude09<BR>23) Last CD that you bought: Elliott &#8211; False Cathedrals<BR>24) Favourite place to be: ummm.. Cornerstone?<BR>25) Least favourite place: I don&#8217;t think I have one.<BR>26) Time you wake up in the morning: Depends on the morning.  But generally as late as I possibly can (which, by the way, is sometimes 6:30 in the A.M.)<BR>27) If you could play an instrument, what would it be: Well, I kind of play guitar&#8230;  but I will still stick with it as an &#8220;if&#8221; answer, because I&#8217;m not very good.  I&#8217;d also like to be able to play drums.<BR>28) Favorite color:\u00a0green<BR>29) Do you believe in an afterlife: surely do.<BR>30) How tall are you: 5&#8217;10 or 5&#8217;11 or so.  I always have people who either tell me I am taller or shorter then whatever I tell them though.  I don&#8217;t know.<BR>31) Current favorite word\/saying: &#8220;woah&#8230;.  this is heavy&#8221;&#8230; or &#8220;great scott!&#8221;&#8230;  not really \ud83d\ude09<BR>32) Favorite book: in fiction I like LOTR a lot, but because that is probably a pretty standard answer at the moment&#8230; I also really love a series called The Sword of Truth&#8230; especially the book Faith of the Fallen.  And as far as non-fiction goes, I really love the book &#8220;When God Interrupts&#8221;.  It&#8217;s been awhile since I read it, but I remember it being really awesome.<BR>33) Favorite season:\u00a0spring<BR>34) One person from your past you wish you could go back and talk to: honestly don&#8217;t know<BR>35) Favorite day:\u00a0probably saturday.\u00a0<BR>36) Where do you want to go:\u00a0Cornerstone<BR>37) What is your career going to be like: I don&#8217;t know.  I could really end up doing almost anything.<BR>38) How many kids do you want to have: I&#8217;d like to have at least 2 but no more then 3.  I probably get the limit from the fact that there are 3 kids in my family.  And that just seems like plenty to me \ud83d\ude42<BR>39) What kind of car will you have: Well&#8230; I really like Maximas.  We will also of course require an enormous american car.  I hate minivans&#8230; so i guess a very large SUV.<BR>40) Type a line you remember from any book: Don&#8217;t really remember any lines well enough to actually quote them \ud83d\ude42<BR>41) A random lyric: &#8220;she is the brightest star that&#8217;s in the sky, she is the reason every astronaut would fly&#8221;<BR>42) identify some things surrounding your computer: a pencil sharpener.  my cell phone. some papers.  some dvds.  cologne. blank cds.  altoids.  that is all.<BR>43) What&#8217;s up: &#8230;..<BR>[my name is]:\u00a0some call me&#8230;..
