I got another “reply-to-someone’s reply” when I left something about truth and doubt.

I just put in a complaint about being bored and got back the entire lyrics to, what’s-the-song-title, “So Happy Together”? This one:

> [@](#):
>
> Imagine me and you, I do  
> I think about you day and night  
> It’s only right  
> To think about the girl you love  
> And hold her tight

(I won’t paste the entire thing, cuz that would make the mods sad.)

That’d indeed be The Turtles, So Happy Together. It’s a song that can play endlessly in my head and make boredom seem like a good thing.

Hmmm… what a strange mystery. I have also recieved a Roxell Roxell Bowshot message from Anon. Message Server. I think it said

> [@](#):

…or words to that effect. I like this thing. ALthough, sometimes I feel like messaging the people back which is slightly frustrating…

I forgot what I entered, though, because my sister is distracting me with IMs about Build-A-Bears.
