But what I do like, is the new Skillet. Within thirty seconds of having it in, I had chills and a lump in my throat. Primarily because of how badly I miss them. I miss going to the shows, and taking pictures, smiles from Korey and Lori from the stage. John's terrible jokes and ridiculously great sense of humour. I miss Lori, being exhausted afterwards, but hanging out to talk. Standing around with John and listening to his stories, and his laugh, and the faces he makes. Ben and Lori taking pictures of each other and everything with everyone else's cameras. I miss all the standing around that would be done and how there were always.. so many people that.. knew who I was.. and actually thought I was like.. important. Or something. Mostly, more than anything, I just miss Skillet. But it's so good to hear them again.

As a brief review, however, I have to say that it's basically a fantastic album. There's a few songs I'm not too fond of. Particularly the last one. I like the chorus a lot, but I really can't appreciate the verses and John's vocal-rap. No.. that's no good. First three songs though.. and Comatose.. strongest on the record. And it's *so* good to hear Korey again.

Anyway. We are completely moved out of the apartment and into our trailer. It's wonderful out there. And I get to ride around on a tractor to mow the lawn, which is something I realised I really enjoy. I also have recently: rediscovered how great Bruce Campbell is, refound my love for the Scissor Sisters, noticed that I have a strange interest in watching Flavor of Love, been very indecisive on what I want as my next tattoo, and been very very happy and in love.

There's not much to this. But, as I sit at work and watch Ghost World, writing a little bit seems natural and the thing to do. And.. well.. that's about all.
