I saw Ken off this morning. It wasn't as painful as the last two times I've said goodbye to him, but I still cried. Maybe it didn't hurt as much because I know I'll see him again soon. He and Justin got to spend some time together yesterday while I was at work. They seem to get along really well. It was definitely a mistake to have Destiny visit. She was the second friend of mine that Justin met and he couldn't stand her. Frankly, she was such an awful houseguest that I was ready to toss her out. He's been pretty apprehensive about meeting my friends ever since. He went to Clarkston with me a few years ago and met everyone in a great big mob. Not a good way to do it, either. He didn't really get to know anyone and felt awkward the whole time. One-on-one seems to work best with Justin. Justin met Lisa the day after he met me, so couldn't really form an opinion about her. I think he describes her as "nice." He and Stauche seem to have gotten really close. Justin likes Crystal and now Justin and Ken get along well too. That makes me really happy. So who wants to visit next? :)

Man oh man am I tired! I got home about 4:30 this morning, called my boss and told him I'd be in late, then went to bed. Naturally, I woke up at 6:00 and couldn't go back to sleep. I pulled my tired ass out of bed at 8:15 and went to work. I'm all groggy and cranky. Angel's on tonight and I don't want to miss it. Was it on last week? If it was I missed it then, too. What happened?

Play It Loud!

Asleep at the wheel 40 miles left to go
rollin' in on fumes to rock the show,
we don't need fortune and we don't need fame,
we don't need bright lights to spell our name,
All we ever wanted was to play

Play it loud, play it loud
raise your voice shout it out

We weren't the first but were holding our own,
10 long years ago those seeds were sewn,
A song in your heart gets you up when you're down,
like the songs we play we love this sound,
we're just like you straight from the crowd

Hold fast to your friends
Be true to yourself
And stop tryin' to be just like somebody else

Be yourself, play it loud
Raise your voice, shout it out!

If I had this on CD, I would, in fact, play it loud. It rocks. :)
