I am convinced I have the coolest job in the whole world. There is so much strength and elegance in books, and to work with them so intimately is indeed a privilege. Not only working with the books, though, but the rest of my job, as a sort of lackey for Mr. Mattingsly; getting more sugar for his coffee, helping him put a new sign out front, and other such trivialities that bring so much more character to a job. Mr. Mattingsly is himself an interesting man to be around. Today some people brought in what they deemed to be a very old book - from the 1900s (1905, he figured) and Mr. Mattingsly politely had to educate them on the nature of books and the book trade. He estimated a ten dollar value on their little treasure.

I've been posting most of my thoughts and whatnot on my as most of it's too melancholic to go here. There's really nothing WFW-worthy to say, so I'm not exactly sure why I'm posting here. Maybe to shamelessly plug my personal blog, or something.

A Year In The Life
Well, at the begining of the year, I don't remember much. December of 2002 and January of this past year were kind of blurred together. In February, me and Kim got together and have sense taken it upon ourselves to marry our lives together into one big happy thing. Most of the early part of the year is sort of a blur. My dad left early in the year to go to Iraq, but I'm not sure when because they moved him up to Ft. Drum first. In March I went down to Alabama. This was the worst thing I ever did. I also went to Kentucky to stay with my sister Brooke for a little bit off and on. While in Alabama, I did nothing but smoke and jack off. Figuratively speaking. In August, I went to meet my beloved for the first time. Apparently, I did not meet Dave and John because I'm sure Dave would have mentioned it. In September, not a lot happened. In October, same thing different month. November, Kim came. In December, Kim left. This brings us to the end of the year, and so...yeah.

A Year In The Life!
After recovering from the 2002 hangover, Steve, John, and myself invented Word for Word. In February Benny came to visit me for a few weeks to see what real winter was like, and March to April was steady schoolwork and travel. May I don't remember at all, so I must have been on some heavy acid. June or late July we met Kim when she came up here and we hung out downtown and saw the Hulk. Mid-July I went to camp and saw old friends again, and there was much rejoicing. August our church hosted synod and we had an absolute blast. Saw Pirates of the Caribbean during this week also. At the end of August we met Dee and fam down in Borjiji and a good time was had by all. Then we took John away up to Winnipeg and said farewell and adieu till we meet again. When we returned home I hit the books and xbox awfully hard, forsaking all PC gaming. God duly punished me by having a vampire crash into me. When John came up before Christmas we watched a hell of a lot of Smallville and drank beer. Then cousins came and that was Christmas all right, and now here we are on the brink of another round of all this. In Memory of Petey [Dave] Time:11:07 PM
This is Steve here again, letting you all know I am the apparent final member of the WFW crew who remembers their password and how to post messages.
I bid them all a very fond Fare Thee Well. click here to view the picture I made to lament the loss of our dear friends In Memory of Petey [Steven] Time:4:37 PM Tuesday, December 30, 2003
