My computer sounds like an insect.

It has started rattling when it boots up. I don't know if this is normal or not, but eh, it's an old computer. That, and it was built for Dan (my sister's boyfriend) by a friend of his.

Valentine's Day hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. I got to sing 'All You Need is Love' in church - it wasn't a hymn, but it was the closing music, and everyone was encouraged to sing. At the end of the service, the congregation gathered together for a photo for this thing called the Standing on the Side of Love campaign that the UU churches are doing. And I wore my spiral scarf in the photo :D

I also ate chocolate (my parents bought these huge Toblerone bars the other day), listened to Beyonce's 'Single Ladies' and the J. Geils Band's 'Love Stinks', and read a bit of Blood and Chocolate while listening to Bruce Springsteen's The Ghost of Tom Joad, which I'm borrowing from the library. It's a really good album. It's kinda folksy-sounding; not as upbeat as most of his albums, but still pretty great. I reserved Nebraska from the library, and I'm curious to hear what that album sounds like. I'm going to reserve The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle and Tunnel of Love afterwards, when I don't have a lot of CDs out.
