the four main guilt groups

chestnutcurlsSpring has temporarily disappeared. It's irritating. But I won't talk about it, since I know some of you have snow on the ground. :)
Tonic will be playing at Newby's tomorrow night. The tickets are only ten dollars. I just found out about it on Sunday, and I really want to go. But I have church band practice, and the director would probably be mad if I skipped, especially since I joined the band late. Why, oh why, does the show have to be on a Wednesday? :( I want to continue playing in the band after Easter, but the Jean Larroux Bible study is supposed to start up again in late May, and the thought of never attending it makes me sad. I'm not sure what to do about that.
I received a monkey, complete with palm tree, in the mail the other day from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sominfun. I also got a nice letter from mickey24sync. I love fun mail days.
My sister has three weeks to decide where she'll be going to college. She's torn between two schools- one in Nashville and one in Oklahoma City. Up to this point, she's preferred Nashville, but her friend/prospective roommate just announced that she's going to the OK City school, so Debra is rethinking everything. OK City is also cheaper and is pursuing her more actively. I wish she would go to Nashville, because my mother has implied that she won't be able to afford to fly Debra home from Oklahoma and I may never see her again if she goes there. How uplifting.
Sometimes I feel bad that I went to college at Memphis. The fact that I could have gone to a "better" school always nags at me. I didn't have much choice, since I didn't want to leave town, but people have such disdain for U of M. In the end, I think just having a degree matters more than where you got it, but people (including your own family) scoffing at your school and referring to it as "Tiger High" never boosts your self-esteem. :P Anyone have any thoughts on the importance of a Big Name school?
I mentioned a long time ago that a new movie theater/entertainment complex is being built nearby. It's almost finished now! My mom mentioned it to me this weekend...because she thought it would be "a good place to meet someone." Great. Because that's the kind of person I want to end up with- some random guy I met at a movie theater. Should I really be that desperate? Good grief. Some mothers would be proud to have a daughter with standards. Mine just wants me to hang around waiting to get hit on. The older I get, the more my life resembles the comic strip Cathy. Frightening.
