We were walking there, and I had tangles in my hair, but you make me feel so pretty
Today was the first day of drama. It was super fun. Alot of new stuff to get used to like no congregating in the halls, only being allowed in two rooms, different class times, etc. But I have a feeling that this year is gonna rock. Musicals are the best ever, and we're not just doing A musical, we're doing scenes from TONS of musicals! It did feel kind of weird, though, with so many people not there that were there last year. And not just the seniors. There are some people who weren't graduating, but that just weren't coming back.

I made a new friend in drama today, too. Her name is Melanie. The moment we met, we got along right off the bat. She's really cool, and now I ACTUALLY have a friend who loves Eisley as much as I do!!! Sweet.

So I'm gonna be an alto for the musical. I can be either a soprano or an alto, but there's kind of a shortage of people who can sing harmonies, and I happen to be able to. So that's where I'm gonna be. And it works out nicely because my mom is an alto so she and I will work on song stuff together during the week.

Came home and had family dinner night. Aubrey made Thai Chicken Pasta. It rocks. I swear my family should open a restaurant. We'd make millions.

Later I'll post pictures from today.

Apparently, to SOME certain people who will not be named, my blog is just a place to visit when you're bored. I guess I'm not very interesting. Hm.

Something occured to me while I was on vacation. It was revolutionary. Out of all 9 of us Warren kids, I'm the most expendable. Think about it. I have 3 older sisters who are happily married with kid(s)--not expendable. Then I have a 19 year old sister who is our second mother--not expendable. I have my older brother who is the oldest boy--not expendable. I have an older sister who is a stage manager--not expendable. I have a little brother who is the biggest bookworm I know--not expendable. Then I have my youngest brother who lives in his imagination more than half the time--not expendable. Then you have me. I contribute little to my family other than reality blonde jokes. And there's not really much use for those. But you know what? I am perfectly absolutely positively okay with that. I'm fine with how I am and how expenable I am. If I wasn't expendable, there wouldn't be an expendable one. So yeah. I thought that was pretty interesting.

Love,

Susanna

yeah P.T., very nice on the expendable theory! and shelley is no longer a diehard longhorn(wow i didn't even realize how much i dislike typing that word.....yuck), she is now on the fence, in between aggie and longhorn. she is in a precarious place and she needs our help to bring her to the light! this is our calling!! let us gather and pray, that she might see the truth in our words, and come to the side of righteousness! (wow....i'm really getting into this, ;) )


on another note, tell Beth that i am praying that she starts feeling better and she can call me any time she needs to talk!
~Love you all imensely!

hey, I just had auditions today in my Adv. Drama class. We are going to Regional One Act Competition in about a month and a half, so it is going to get real crazy, real fast. We are going to do a musical in the Spring.
Expendable? Expendable? Let me tell you about being "the expendable one"! There is no such thing! I used to feel that, and so much more, all the time. But, this summer, in Florida, I learned a thing or 2 about myself (and about how God created me). Never think that, because then, others might believe you.

Mom is a contralto, Shelley. That's why she was able to keep the baritones in line,PT. Yes, its more than a heck of a voice.
Shelley you are NOT expendable! Who else would put lipgloss on Abby everytime she needs it?
And, dont tell Kristen that we had two huge tupperwares of pasta left. She might cry.

since you're the only expendable one, we might as well go ahead and expend you now. you know, just to save time. and money. and...shoes.

I'm still not clear on why John Caleb is not expendable, but I'll let that go for now. Oh, and I now make the Thai pasta too, thank you very muchly.

ok fine then, try this one on for size, if your steriotyped as the epxpendable one, then your not expendable, *see last post* so that bears the question...who is true expendable one, which, when we look to it, it cannot be the expendable one because as we have verified, you, shelley, are the expendable one and not expendable bevause of that! so, caleb should the the true expendable one because he is not the expendable one! see?!?!
dont say it....I know im brilliant...

You keep using the word expendable. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends.
