Riding in our shiny motorcars, with eyeglasses full of stars and plenty of paper for scenery paintings...
Wow. Half way through the second day of school. Let me tell ya, it's alot heavier than any school year I've ever had. I am actually liking it better than I thought I would...except for the waking up time of day. 0630-0700. For those of you people who can't tell military time, that means 6:30-7:00 am. IN THE MORNING! And what stinks is that yesterday (the official first day of school), I had a terrible headache all morning/afternoon from waking up too early and running 1 mile in our neighborhood before I was fully awake. So I planned on going to bed around 2100(9:00) or so. But I didn't because right when I thought I was going to go to sleep, Murphey's Law states that I would get my second wind. And I did. But what the hey, I'm awake right now, aren't I?? Well, almost all the way. I didn't go running this morning though, it's too dark at 0630 and at 0650 when it starts to get lighter, all the schoolbuses traffic in, so I'm constantly waiting for them. I need a new system. At least after Daylight Saving's Time it'll be lighter in the morning. And it'll be cooler so it won't be so bad running.
^^That was a long paragraph about school!
I heard "Call Me When You're Sober" by Evanescence, from their new cd "The Open Door" coming soon. I watched the music video on evanescence.com. Here's my thoughts on it:
1. It was definitely Black, Brown, and lots of Red
2. It was very good
3. Can't touch My Immortal, Imaginary, or Bring Me To Life
4. Definitely has a different feel than Fallen did...Fallen was dark and dreamlike with a bit of angst, this new song was more alive, more real almost, and the first song of their's I've ever heard that was about a guy
5. Lyrics weren't as deep and poetic, mostly because Ben Moody didn't write it *sniff*
6. Music video was alot more busy than any of their other videos
7. I will buy the album if my dad says so
8. I like the piano music in the song (that should be expected from me though:D)
that's it. I think it's a keeper.
here's the picture that wouldn't come through on my last post.
It's me with the four Slaughter kids, from left to right:
Carrie, Molly, Warren(W.E.S.), and Henry. I miss them!
I'm getting the hang of "For Good" on the piano. And I've started on "Wonderful." There are so many songs in the Wicked book of mine that i wish I could play, but I'll never be able to. Like "Defying Gravity." Amazing song, even more amazing key to play in. Not for me.
Among many other things, I'm currently reading "Dave Barry Slept Here." By Dave Barry. Last night I read 11 chapters. I was crying, from laughing so hard. It's the most hilarious book I've ever read, excepting The Princess Bride. If you've never heard of Dave Barry, he's a comedy book writer, his works include:
Dave Barry Slept Here: A Sort of History of the United States
Dave Barry Turns 40
Dave Barry's only Travel Guide You'll Ever Need
and many more. You should really read the one I'm currently reading if you never have.
That's all for now,
Susanna

Hey, you like Wicked? That is, like, my favorite musical right now. Oh and dont break a sweat! Me, the trumpet starts playing Revelie at 0600 hours. It could get worse, especially from what I know of your house.
i know exactly how you feel!!(on the exercise/sleep issue) i've never heard of Dave Barry, but i'll definitely read some of his stuff if its that funny. my suggestion, though, is if you want real, classic comedy then Calvin and Hobbes is the best choice! ok, i'll ttyl!
"life is pain highness! anyone who says otherwise is selling something..."
trust me, he is. and yes, I grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes. For some odd reason, Hobbes reminds me of a certain redneck friend of ours...;)
"Aha! your pig fiance is too late! a few more steps and we'll be safe in the fireswamp."
Hobbes?! really!! you've got to be kidding me! oh, but you know who reminds me of Calvin? a certain little brother of mine(tho one that likes stripping and running down the sidewalk...yeah, that one reminds me of Calvin)!;)
~Love
"we'll never survive!"
"nonsense! you only say that 'cause no one ever has..."
aha i could see nathaniel doing that:) he's so cute!
"I'm not saying I'd like to build a summer home here, but the trees are actually quite lovely!"
geez, shelley!
i don't exactly see what's so cute about a baby stripper....ok when Nathaniel is involved, yeah i can see that. but its definitley not something to be openly encouraged!!
oh, and i'm sorry i didn't call you back, but i didn't hear your message until nine something and then my mom wanted me to make bread, then my dad and i got in this HUGE conversation, then it was too late to call, so yeah i'll call you tomorrow! of course...technically, it already is tomorrow...almost...
on a different note, is just amazing how many great lines you can get from just one movie!
ttyl!
~Love
"your trying to kidnap what i've rightfully stolen!"
yeah, that comment i just posted was posted at 12:02AM, not 10:06PM. your clock is all screwed up or something.
"my name is Inigo Montoya! you killed my father...prepare to die!..."
"STOP SAYING THAT!"
"Inconcievable!!"
"why do you keep using that word?because i do not think it means what you think it means..."
sure i have the pictures! i'll send them to you asap!
"That DOES put a damper on our relationship..."
" 'Hear that, Princess? Those are the shreiking eels...' 'You read that part ALREADY, grandpa!' 'So I did.' "
Dave Barry is awesome!
"Is this a kissing book?"
and of corse the very best quote..."As you wish"
booyah!!
yes indeed he is!
"Alright. Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right, and who is dead."
"But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you...are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he knows that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I'm not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool--you would've counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me."
"You've made your decision then?"
"Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you."
"Truly you have a dizzying intellect."
"Wait till I get going! Where was I?"
"Australia."
"Yes, Australia. You must've suspected that I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me."
"You're just stalling now."
"You'd like to think that, now wouldn't you! You've beaten my giant which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in your own goblet trusting on your strength to save you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me."
"You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work."
"IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE POISON IS!"
"Then make your choice."
"I will! And I choose-what in the world could that be?"
"What? I don't see anything."
"Well-I couldn't sworn I saw something. No matter."
"What's so funny?"
"I'll tell you in a minute. First, let's drink. Me from my glass, and you from yours."
"Guessed wrong."
"You only think I guess wrong, that's what's so funny! I switched glases when your back was turned, haha you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved with a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well known is this: Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ahahahahaha--"
*wipes brow* thank you, hold the applause. actually, strike that:)
WOW!!! very nice!!Encore, encore!!
"He probably means no hhaarrmm!"
" he is really very short on...charm!"

"Anybody want a peanut?"
"AGHH"
