As for FM static....

Immediately after my firt class today i went to FYE to get the new FM static CD "Dear Diary." After searching, i found nothing. I asked the cashier lady and she said that she just put away the only one that was shipped to the store. So its MINE! WOOOOOT!
The booklet doesn't have lyrics like most cd's do. It has diary entries to make a story. If you only listen to the music, and not read the boolet, your not gonna get the story, and vice versa. Also its best to read one entry, then listen to the song because the story alternates between them.

I dont know if anyone (mainly marcia 'cause she's about the only person that reads this...) is all peeved about spoilers, so ill white out the spoiler section. highlight it if you want to read it.

The story goes that an unsaved kid that has put up walls to keep people out of his life moves to a new school in a new town. There, he struggles to fit in with everone else and to blend in. He's trying to really discover who he is and his purpose in life as a person. One day, when he's walking out from school from a detention that he didn't deserve, he meets a happy homeless sitting on the steps of the school with a sign reading "Money, can't live wth it, cant live without it." He sits down with the guy and discusses what eachother would do with money if they had it, and the homeless guy shows him that you dont have to have money to be happy. Then, later he sees this girl who he only refers to as "ET" because he feels like she is so different (in a good way) from everyone else that she has to be from another planet. He becomes friends with ET and learns a great deal from her. He feels drawn to her and she is always there helping him out. They do many things together including going to a church meeting at her chuch. The best part of all this to him is that hey live right next to eachother.
One day, the boy is in his room and sees an ambulance across the street at ET's house. Her father had committ suicide. He felt absolutely helpless and felt like he needed to do something to comfort her, but does nothing for days. When he finally does call her up, she doesn't answer. This goes on for a few days until he goes over to her house and speaks with her mother saying that they are moving far away from there and ET went ahead with her cousin. He then feels lost and empty. Then he gets saved. He doesn't know how to speak to God yet, so he writes him a letter and sends it to a non-fixed address hoping that God would get it. He felt this amazing security and warmth when he excepted God into his heart.
He gets excepted into collage, where he is reunited with ET, and they dont skip a beat despite their not seeing eachother all summer. And they lived happily ever after (okay, i added that in...)

That's not taken directly from the booklet, but thats the jist of it.
Like the other two cd's i don't dislike any song on the entire disk. They are all very good and catchy and i cant help but sing along in the car.
Yes. i am very happy with this cd.
next up: a v-cube
