Well, I'm finished the last book assigned for English (well actually the assigned portion of it) and so I only need to finish The Mill on the Floss for an assigned review for English. I'm getting rather bored with that book, as it is so long. I can't wait to start Simon Scarrow's book, which I will be reviewing for this site and perhaps will start it this weekend, hopefully after getting the review done for English. I hope it is considerably more exciting than a 500-something page novel about family life in..."old time" England (I forget the *correct* time period but it's rather not modern lol) I suspect it won't take me very long to finish Under the Eagle as I'm sure it's rather fast paced, and far more interesting. Not to mention, not as long Today was rather interesting, I managed to pull something in my neck before ever even getting out of bed. I heard the muscle "snap" and have been walking around with my head cocked to the side all day. It's a little better now, lol I can mostly move it without pain. I'm glad I heal fast. lol I'm wondering if people were wondering what was wrong with me. I threw my atlatl darts for the first time in Shop class, and my metal shop teacher (who had never thrown atlatl before) wanted to try. He got great distance, but the problem was, he threw the atlatl along with the dart It messed up my thrower (cosmetic defect, nothing major) but it was totally hilarious. And the wood shop teacher (who had been the one to help me with the project) got it on "film" (digital "film") Mr. D wants me to make him some metal flowers to use as a sample, and I'm excited about that, because I was sort of looking for something to do for the last few weeks, and those are fun to make. Mine are sitting in the middle of my dining room table

I've heard of that in a book which I think was about the Roman Army, though it didn't go into much detail as to the actual game. It just mentioned that it was played.

lol my back yard used to be a horse pasture, and it has that kind of grass that cannot be mowed without a tractor or a sickle-bar. Seriously, a gas mower just *dies* trying to cut this stuff. So we don't cut it, it's really a pretty meadow full of all sorts of wildflowers and dandelions, but by the end of the summer the grass will be up over my head...and sometimes the thistles grow to over six feet tall Our front yard is...sort of...well maintained, we've got a forsythia, a "pink bush" i can't identify, and a couple of dead roses >_> It's not terrible to mow, but the various things growing in it (not mention the ornamental cherries planted by the borough) make it slightly difficult. And the grass grows so fast that it needs done about every 3 days

Congratulations!! ::huggles:: I'm very glad to hear she is doing well

You do have a point there

Lol yea, you're probly right. Sometimes I just wonder though...despite what they always say, can one person really make a difference? I mean, it seems to me now that all the public outcry in the world isn't changing a doggone thing, so what good could I possibly do?

Well I finally got around to painting my room. My mom was being a bit of a **...she said she'd help me before but then didn't (was too sick) but still got mad at me for not painting it "her way". So anyway...I had just started painting my ceiling when I managed to break the handle off of the roller (which then fell on my head. I managed to keep the paint roller off the hardwood floor, but I looked like a wannabe for the "blue man group"). I've got my room back together now though, and it looks really nice. I'm glad I got it done. Not so glad about the smell though. I have to sleep in there tonight. It took me all day, but I got it done. I love my nice, calm, blue room. Getting that way was not so nice nor so calm. I have to wait untill tomorrow to put up my pictures and stuff, which is a shame because I really can't wait to see what it looks like when everything is hung up. I finally found a place to hang my butterfly picture (the blue one I drew/painted then framed for the art show). BTW, latex interior paint isn't as difficult to get out of one's hair as you might think. Also, "one coat" paint...isn't. I never want to see a piece of tape again. I have delt with so much tape in the last week, well...lol tape is evil This coming week should be refreshingly uneventful. Which is great, because these past two weeks have been *crazyinsanelalalalala!!!* OH, I almost forgot! On a VERY brighter note my grandpa called me earlier, interrupted my praying but when he told me that he was giving me a car, I certainly did not mind the interruption! Although, he's definitely a Ford man and I want a Pontiac but hey! Beggars can't be choosers!!! WhOoT!! ...and now off to bed with me. ::yawns:: I'm more than a little tired.

Gah. If Washington and Jefferson could see what America has become...they'd probably move back to England.

thanks!

lol gotta love the nerds ~hugz to all the nerds out there~ what would we do without them

I got this email today. Normally I don't pay too much attention to forwarded emails unless they are cute, but I read about this EXACT SAME THING in Newsweek about a month or so ago. Stupid government. If the American people are not sufficiently angered by this, then I officially give up on America. And if this bill actually passes, then it's really true, democracy doesn't work anymore. On a lighter note, after much work this morning we got the art show cleaned up (I worked extra to help out afterwards) and I got all of my artwork home safe thanks to my mom for giving me a ride home today. I found out today that I almost won "choice of show", which is considerably more annoying than not winning it when I thought I didn't stand a chance Oh, and I posted the pictures of the flowers in my gallery, come check them out! I am so proud!!!

first off, the AP exams are DONE. The chem exam was killer, but there were some nice "gift" questions in the free response part, so I am really happy about that I'm most happy that it's done, I have no more exams hanging over my head (except finals, but I was never worried about finals). I'm not even really worried about my grade. Although the girl who switched papers with someone and got her score invalidated is now trying to get all of our scores invalidated on a technicality. I doubt she'll succeed as she can't prove anything, but she seems to think that if HER score is to be invalidated because she switched papers, then all of our scores should be invalidated because it was possible for her to switch papers in the first place My chorus concert (along with the band concert) was tonight, and also the art show. I finished to copper/brass flowers I made, I'll post pictures maybe...tomorrow or Saturday depending on what I feel like doing tomorrow when I get them home from school. I won fifth place in the art show, then commandeered the microphone to publically thank my teacher for all of her hard work, the poor woman was flabberghasted, as was everyone else. She never gets any recognition. I think she was half afraid to let me speak, because she, (along with every else) had no clue what I was going to say. The chorus concert went better than the last one, but still, I'm not overly happy with the results. I think we really need to work harder, the problem is, that most of the people in the chorus are only there because they think its a study hall, and even six hours before the concert, on stage, at rehearsal, they WON'T SHUT UP and they don't know the music. The director actually had to play the piano for the beginning of an a capella song because the tenors couldn't get the notes right. OOO I AM SO ANGRY WITH THESE PEOPLE!!! I can't wait till I get to bring all my artwork home though. I love bringing my stuff home and my mom is picking me up from school so I won't have to bring fragile things home on the bus

lol I don't think that's what Sextus meant I think he meant "Who's to say they cut off both thumbs instead of just the *one attached to the* sword arm?" I asked the same thing earlier.

um....lol
