Right now.. in this moment.. I hate springs

I hold an extreme distaste for the forces that cause them to be stretched beyond their natural lengths, and I resent that the work done to accomplish this is usually measured in Joules. I also hold little appreciation for zeros as place holders when there are more than three. (The fact that I continually lose track of how many I have is irrelevant. They should give us problems with smaller answers.) I loath 1 meter pipes on top of cylinder tanks of water that lay on their sides, and I don't favor lifting ropes that hang over buildings for the sheer joy of knowing how the force of gravity (weight) of them changes as I lift them. Well, to be honest I'd rather lift a rope than a leaky bucket. I can halfway see a reason to knowing the work needed to lift a rope but why on earth a leaky bucket?! No one's going to use one. And if they're in a situation in which they'd be forced to they're not likely going to have the time to sit there and do the math.... unless they're an over intelligent Robinson Crusoe. In that case, Nathan and Brian can just enjoy themselves. We'll send a boat out to check on them every couple of months until they get tired of being rugged mathmaticians ;). *Sigh* :) No, I'm not really that upset with calculus 2. I just needed to rant about.

Jason and Caleb went out and got new hardware for my guitar a few days ago. Today Jay replaced all the broken pieces and keys (which wasn't particularly easy and required "afro rigging" in Jason's terms). But it's all in one piece now and I even have it re-strung. I just need a tuner to get it tuned. But over all I'm pleased. It was an enjoyable hour fixing it. Jason worked on it and I worked on calculus. The cafeteria was pleasantly empty and quiet. I don't know if I have a point in saying this but it was relaxing to not talk much and just listen to Jay whistle and sing to himself as he fixed my guitar. And I got 2 homework problems done. I'm sorry Caleb didn't have the time to hang out. Granted, it wouldn't have been as quiet, but I enjoy Caleb and Jay's combined company. Yup, they're good brothers :).

On that note I miss having Nathan around. And Courtney somehow. I guess because of school schedules she and I just don't get as much time together as we did this summer. And it's obvious why I miss Nathan. He's not here.... stupid gas prices... there's a concert up at Ap.St. which would have been the perfect excuse to go see him and Isaac but the half tank of gas or so to get there is just too much. And stupid gas prices kept me from going to Camille's bonfire thing tonight. That rather stinks too. I miss Hannah too. I know she's 17 but she really did add to the maturity level at the lunch table. Or we just click... or both :). I just know that now I feel run over by youg'uns. Perhaps that will change. I hear that they've approved a N.C. lottery. I don't approve of that but on the bright side it's going to be run like Ga. lottery. All the profits go for free in-state college education. I just hope it doesn't have to be to a public institution. I'd be nothing for me to whack out a farm management or theraputic riding degree at St. Andrews College.

Welp... I need to get goin'.. I had hoped to post more than this but no so for tonight. I love ya'll.
