In which I run into Jay Mai and can't remember his name

I was leaving my class today and I ran into the dude that sat behind me in Speech. He said, "Hey MJ, what's up?" I was like, "Dude, what is your name again?" He asked how I did in the class and then I had to go and I was pondering what this guy's name was. I remembered that he had a 3 year old boy and a new baby girl (as of February) and he's engaged to the mother of his children and I remembered that he was the pitcher for some minor league baseball team from California and he was picked in the 17th round of the um . . . pitcher picking thing and he WANTED to be picked by some team in Florida (I think) in the 16th round and he's VERY bitter about it. Then it ocurred to me that his name is Jason (Jay) Mai. Yay. Isn't it amazing that a former minor leaguer actually remembered my name??? Oh my goodness!

Lol -- anyway, so I'm reading Wuthering Heights for my Lit and Film class. What fun . . . It's a very captivating story. It was hard to figure out in the beginning because everyone has either the same name or very similar names. Like, there was a Catherine Linton and a Catherine Heathcliff. Hindley and Heathcliff were brothers (Heathcliff was adopted) and Hindley's son's name was Hareton. It's SO confusing . . . Catherine 1 (Catherine Earnshaw Linton) married the neighbor boy, Edgar Linton and now it's looking like Edgar's sister is going to marry Heathcliff. I've gotten to a very interesting part of the book and I don't know what happens in the end, but I THINK that Catherine and Edgar have a daughter named Catherine (either that or she is the love-child of Catherine and Heathcliff -- they had loved each other since they were children but Catherine refused to marry him because he didn't have any money) and Heathcliff and Isabelle have a son (the family tree I got in class today says his name is Linton) and in the end, Catherine 2 and Linton marry. I came up with this from info in the first chapter -- Heathcliff told someone years later that "Mrs. Heathcliff" was his daughter-in-law, not his wife. And someone said that Mrs. Heathcliff married her cousin. So, Heathcliff would HAVE to marry Isabelle and one would have to have a daughter (it would have to be Catherine and Edgar because Isabelle doesn't like her sister-in-law and would never name her child after her) and the other would have to have a son -- and it would have to be Heathcliff and Isabelle because they named him Linton and it would be totally silly to call your kid Linton Linton . . . Makes sense, right?

Gotta go back to the book . . . I MIGHT GO TO SONSHINE!
