I don't fucking know, they have everything they want already. They should give ME something for traveling all the way over there and fighting with the throngs of guests just to see two people I've never met or care about get married.
I'd probably bring back Hitler, because I'd love to see the entire world gang up on his ass and lynch him! I never thought it was fair they he got off with suicide, choosing when he gets to die, rather than facing the consequences.
But uh, on a less morbid note I'd probably bring back Alexander the Great. Cause he's awesome and I'd like to see what he looks like, sounds like, all that other stuff.
"Curse thee, Life, I will live with thee no more! Thou hast mocked me, starved me, beat my body sore! And all for a pledge that was not pledged by me, I have kissed thy crust and eaten sparingly That I might eat again, and met thy sneers With deprecations, and thy blows with tears, -- Aye, from thy glutted lash, glad, crawled away, As if spent passion were a holiday! And now I go. Nor threat, nor easy vow Of tardy kindness can avail thee now With me, whence fear and faith alike are flown; Lonely I came, and I depart alone, And know not where nor unto whom I go; But that thou canst not follow me I know."
Thus I to Life, and ceased; but through my brain My thought ran still, until I spake again:
"Ah, but I go not as I came, -- no trace Is mine to bear away of that old grace I brought! I have been heated in thy fires, Bent by thy hands, fashioned to thy desires, Thy mark is on me! I am not the same Nor ever more shall be, as when I came. Ashes am I of all that once I seemed. In me all's sunk that leapt, and all that dreamed Is wakeful for alarm, -- oh, shame to thee, For the ill change that thou hast wrought in me, Who laugh no more nor lift my throat to sing! Ah, Life, I would have been a pleasant thing To have about the house when I was grown If thou hadst left my little joys alone!..."

Hallo internets! I am here again, updating on my life that no one reads about. I don't particularly blame you, interents, as I wouldn't read about my boring life anyway. But I suppose that in fifty years if this website and this blog still exist I should at least have something to laugh at.
Anyways, TJ and I just moved into our first apartment last Saturday, making it almost a week since we've been official residents of Oswego, NY. There are a few things I've learned, such as:
~There is ALWAYS too much stuff. Even if it doesn't look like a lot, it is. ~Everything is too expensive. Everything. Even the ears of corn for 30 cents. ~Finding a cheap kitchen table is close to impossible. If it exists, it's six hours away and that's AFTER checking Craigslist. ~I really miss having an internet connection (I'm typing this in the library).
But we're having fun, preparing ourselves for the six AM wake up calls that come with classes and jobs. Well... he won't have classes, since he's teaching this semester, but I will. Five to be exact. Luckily they're all fun classes and electives, so at least I'll be enjoying the stress sometimes. But all that starts Wednesday.
Until then, we should be getting our internet soon enough (thank god) so that I have something to do with my time. I've been reading Red Dragon and I plan to finish the entire "Hannibal Lector" series sometime soon. Seeya later! ~Ashley
