Constraint in writing, fun in spring

It's past day six of my spring vacation from school, and Monday is our last day out. I don't know why it's not Sunday, but I'm not complaining. I must do a fun thing or two soon, though. School ruins your odds of doing a fun activity -- you must do all that work, you know! I'm not worrying about that right now, for my math class and my US history class didn't assign a lot of work for spring vacation. And in programming class, all programming activity is in our classroom. (What if a kid is a fan of Linux or Macintosh and not Windows? Plus, not all of us can own a PC. Windows costs a lot, I think.) I still must study for my important history class, though.

Today I got an invitation (from a girl I had a thing for back in August) to go to our coast, which is not at all far away, to bask in sunlight and fool around with an additional pal or two from school, such as Mark and Kim. Sounds fun, I thought, so I'm going if my mom and dad will allow it. (I still must ask and furnish particulars, but my family always allows such things. My mom and dad don't act that prudishly.) Our plan is to savor sun, surf, and sand on Monday, so it's a good way to finish off our spring vacation. Oh, and for what it's worth, said girl has a guy now and is happy, but I can hang out with that quondam crush without awkward situations arising. All right! If only I could do that with all my old infatuations.

You probably didn't think I'd fall back on a silly gimmick to do a quick post on my blog. But I always did want to approach (or pass) a limit or two -- to add high standards, if you will, or to surpass what folks want to find. Thirty-six months of blogging will do that to you. By now you probably know what it is that I'm doing (or not doing) in this post as I join awkward combinations of words. If not, I'm giving this hint: it's all about constraint, and it's difficult.

And this is a list of Things You Didn't Know About Rock 'N' Roll. Its author shows a slight bias toward what radio stations usually call "classic rock," but rock's actual roots (think King, Fab Four, and so forth) gain spots on that list, and rightfully so.

Six and six months ago: "Thank you, logic!"
On this day in 2004: "I didn't know what to think about that."
Also that day: "And that's it."
