I just allowed my fingernails to dig into my palm--extremely hard.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH HOW CAN I SLEEP WHEN THE FATE OF MY BELOVED STRIKER IS BEING DECIDED!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MATTHEW WHY ARE YOU NOT ON?!!!?!!?!?!?

BBC reports:

Real to consider Reds' Owen offer

Real Madrid's directors will meet on Tuesday to consider Liverpool's bid for England striker Michael Owen.
The 25-year-old met Anfield boss Rafael Benitez on Monday for talks, before also holding a meeting with Newcastle.

The St James' Park club have had a £17m offer accepted, but Liverpool are not willing to pay anything like that much.

Real Madrid vice-president Emilio Butragueno said: "We have received two bids from England, one of which has been accepted already."

He added: "The other will be discussed by the directors today (Tuesday)."

Liverpool are thought to have proposed a season-long loan deal, with a view to eventually repaying Real the £8m they bought Owen for.

However, the European champions could be in a position to offer more attractive terms to Madrid if they sell Djbril Cisse, with Marseille and Monaco both interested.

Real have warned Owen, however, that he will have to stay if Liverpool's offer is not satisfactory.

"If Owen doesn't want to join a particular club after we have accepted a bid then he will stay and fight for Real," said Butragueno.

"We can review the situation in January or at the end of the season if nothing happens this week."

Owen was left out of Madrid's squad for the first game of their season after falling behind Ronaldo, Raul, Julio Baptista and Robinho in the pecking order.

He travelled to England and met Benitez for two-and-a-half hours, before travelling to Northumberland.

More crap about Newcastle that no one cares about. DIE NEWCASTLE DIE. NO ZEBRAS OR MAGPIES FOR THE BEST STRIKER IN ENGLAND.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY THE TIME DIFFERENCE?!?! WHY?!?!!?!?

Oww my palm is bleeding... O well. Owen is worth it.

Ever wonder why your "favorite" parent (I know you're not supposed to have one, but come on, let's face reality) is not necessarily the one who spoils you the most and lets you do whatever the hell you want?

Just had to say that.

Am bored, so taking stupid personality tests that freak me out

Big Five Test Results

Extroversion (88%) very high which suggests you are overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense too often of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity. Accommodation (74%) high which suggests you are overly kind natured, trusting, and helpful at the expense too often of your own individual development (martyr complex). Orderliness (68%) moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly organized, neat, structured and restrained at the expense too often of flexibility, variety, spontaneity, and fun. Emotional Stability (22%) low which suggests you are very worrying, insecure, emotional, and anxious. Inquisitiveness (60%) moderately high which suggests you are intellectual, curious, imaginative but possibly not very practical.

Argh I can't stop thinking about this song!!! it reminds me of a certain person that shall remained undisclosed and if you try to ask/guess who it is, I shall not answer.

In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry

I wanted to hold you
I wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything, all right

In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside

The moment I saw you cry

THE hottest picture of Gerrard since... May 25, 2005!!!
He won the UEFA Most Valuable Player Award and never was such an award as deserved as the one bestowed upon Steven Gerrard today.
THAT is a PERFECT suit on a PERFECT guy.



For those of you who are too blind, or too jealous, or too stupid to admit that he is absolutely divinely perfect, you have to admit that is a good suit.

His hair grew longer! Look at that stray lock of hair that curls onto his forehead... HE'S SO PERFECT!!!!!!!

Stealing things from Bila! The first of two.

Write 10 things to people in your life, without including their names.

1. I don't know what I would do without you. You've always been there to annoy me, to make me laugh, to ask me questions I don't want to answer, to hug me when I needed it. I can tell you anything, and the things I don't want to tell you you probably know already anyway. I know you're going to get all icky, but I love you!

2. I'm so lucky to have met you, even if you won't change that one stupid... belief of yours. You're the sweetest thing ever, and I can always rely on you to cheer me up, or piss me off talking about evil zebras and magpies and toffees. Thank you for putting up with my incessant obsession. My mom still thinks you're an idiot for fanning the flames, hehe.

3. I want to be in America! Okay by me in America! You're an idiot! Hehehe. *love bite* As Anne of Avonlea would put it, we are truly "kindred spirits". We're so alike, except you're even more dramatic than me at times, if possible. Hehe. Don't let the evil lesbians get at you!!! That was the awesomest sleepover ever! I'm just sad you didn't get to stay longer!

4. You'll probably never read this, but I just don't understand you. And I'm sure that's the way you like it. I should just warn you that not everyone comes back time and time again, and that if you keep going the way you are, you're bound to miss out on a lot of good opportunities. A bit of regularity won't kill people, and in the end, you're not as unpredictable as you think. You do have many faces, but there's a limited number to them, even if it is larger than most people.

5. *sigh* I'm going to die one day from cardiac arrest because of you. Or maybe a vein will just blow in my brain. Have that on your conscience. It amazes me that we weren't the closest of friends ever while we were together, but you're the one person who I keep closest touch with now. Please don't change!

6. We need to stay in closer touch. I mean, it's interesting how when we saw each other once a week we were really close, but now that I see you every weekday, we barely ever talk, and if we do, it's briefly and not seriously.

7. Have some self-esteem. You're not ugly or fat or unwanted. I just hope you learn to control your raging hormones someday, and learn to become comfortable with who you are.

8. You're crazy and random. I love you! purly and curple. That was a great day in FOP; probably the best day.. I KNOW. Even better than my triumphant final project! hehehe i'm such a nerd. You're a great critic, even with your tendency to overanalyze. I'm so honored that you read my stuff, and I love discussing Poe and Bronte and etc with you!

9. My Angel of Music, guide and guardian! Honored to be your protege. We're too obsessed for our own good. Finally another liberal female to balance the evil rightness of DPoll and Tyler G!

10. We have lots of fun talking about guys! hehehe. particular guys.. *wink wink*

Each of these applies to a single person, and nobody is repeated. You may ask if a number applies to you, or to a specific someone else, but you may not get an answer.

and

List ten fictional characters you would have sex with.

Okay.. this is just interesting. I wonder what Bila thinks about.. wait.. FICTIONAL DOESN'T INCLUDE STEVEN GERRARD. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
1) FARAMIR (Must I explain myself?)
2) FEANOR (*swoons just thinking about him*)
3) MAGLOR (haha this is sad; the son of #2)
4) Finrod! (wow 3 elves in a row)
5) Alyosha Skvortsov (from the russian movie: Ballad of a Soldier)
6) Oliver Wood (DAMN he is FINE)
7) Anakin Skywalker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8) Romeo (i'm PATHETIC I KNOW)
9) Harry Potter (don't shoot me)
10) damn it why isn't steven gerrard in a movie... oo Christian from Moulin Rouge.

I know there's more... hahha i can't believe it but that was just fun!

I officially have two LEAST favorite animals. Actually, two animals I absolutely ABHOR: the ZEBRA and the MAGPIE.

And at the rate we're going, I don't know who I'm going to hate more: a Scotsman or a Spaniard.

So which would you rather be: unbelievably beautiful or dazzlingly clever?
I know those are two extremes, and most people have somewhat of a blend of the two, but which would you rather be:
GIRLS: Absolutely drop-dead gorgeous, like... who do I think is beautiful.. Olivia Hussey or Natasha Kinsky; o wait modern people, um... well you think of someone absolutely beautiful. So would you rather be absolutely drop-dead gorgeous like INSERT NAME, and a complete dunderhead, or very plain, nothing special, and extremely smart like... think of someone smart.
GUYS: Would you rather look like Steven Gerrard (or Johnny Depp, or Orlando Bloom, or Michael Owen, or Hayden Christensen, or just a VERY GOOD LOOKING GUY), and have two brain cells (NOT like Steven Gerrard--Matthew), or look like... Jack Nicholson (EW) but be extremely clever, witty, and intelligent?

Hmm...

Registration today! It was fun, I suppose. Saw everyone again, and for some stupid, crazy reason, I was excited for the new school year. Getting up early and working! that's my FAVORITE thing to do!
My new ID picture actually looks okay, while Matthew looks adorable in his! Hehe all thanks to me! So he's standing there, with a stupid fake smile on his face, facing the camera, while all of a sudden I pop out behind the cameraman, and make him smile, and POOF *picture taken* and he's really cute!!! hhehhe all ME!
Got my books and put everything but my AP Euro in my locker.. I think I'm going to decorate the locker this year. If anyone sees LotR magnets, or any other magnets they think I'll like, please notify me!!!! Hehe Elsa I'm being like you.
Okay okay so schedule. I really don't like it.

0 AP Comp Sci
1 Trig/Pre Calc Honors
2 Spanish 2
3 English 2-H
4 Chem IB
5 AP Euro
6 Basketball

i don't LIKE my schedule. I have two THINKING CLASSES in the morning!! Spanish is easy, and English I love. Chem is BLAH, but stuck between my two favorite classes, I think I'll endure. I don't WANT AP Euro right after lunch. It takes away from my dazzling knowledge! I'm too tired/bloated from lunch!!! And basketball... the PAIN of running.
I wanted.. English first!!!! or something!!! If you older people know what teachers I probably have now, feel free to tell me!
I might be in Ashley's spanish, but there are so many spanish teachers. Matthew and I have the same Euro period, and I haven't gotten a hold of Camron yet!

I don't know what ill devil possessed me to do this, but I just thought of making a list of names you wouldn't, or at least I wouldn't, name my children, and reasons why. Not in any particular order, or just in the order that I think of them. Getting these from an actual list of names, so not making them up.

Boys:
1. Frodo
As Andy once put it, imagine this great, hot, macho jock, comes up to a group of girls, (if you are a girl, imagine him coming up to you), and getting his flirt on, says, "Hey ladies, my name's Frodo." I mean.. how big of a turn off would that be? I mean, I think the only person I know who wouldn't mind that, would be ME, and I personally don't go for macho jocks. If someone WERE to be named Frodo, they'd have to be soft-spoken, extremely vulnerable looking, with curly black hair and great blue eyes. NO wait, that IS Frodo Baggins. Whoops
2. Alexavier
Alright make up your mind. Do you want Alexander, Alex, or Xavier? Don't just lump all three names together!
3. Bonner
Someone who likes the name Conner, but tries to hard too be different. Reminds me too much of "Bonnet" anyway.
4. Brasen
Rhymes with raisin, and is a homophone of brazen, which is not an adjective I'd like associated with my child.
5. Abner
Maybe "Hey Arnold!" traumatized my young brain, but I can never think of the name Abner, without thinking of a pig.
6. Balthasar
I don't know why. Just say it. Say Balthasar five times aloud, and tell me if you like it. I mean, even Bartholemew is better than that name.

Girls:
1. Prissy
WHY? WHY PRISSY? I mean... that's like a name for a DOG. "Come here Prissy!" One of the potential mates for Pongo in 101 Dalmatians is named Prissy; the artistic one. OMG HOW DO I KNOW THAT. It's setting up your child for a lifetime of teasing.
"Hey there Prissy!
You're such a sissy!"
Okay that was a horribly bad chant, but STILL.
2. Barbie
Need I say more?
3. Biana
DIANA gone bad.
4. Cinnamon
Are you so much of a housewife that the only names you can think of are things around the household? I mean.. what's your next child going to be named: Toaster? And besides, name your child that and you run the risk of Jessica Simpson not knowing what she is.
5. Forever
I don't understand this taking of every day words, particularly beautiful every day words, and naming your child them. I mean... stop desecrating the english language!
6. Independence:
See #5. The only person who has a right to name their child this is long dead: Thomas Jefferson.
7. Jennis
Rhymes with tennis
8. Love
Why is it that I just really want to see someone named Love remain an old maid? If I were the gods of Fate I'd just do that on purpose. Or maybe I'm just cruel. Nah, I think the irony just appeals to me too much.
9. Pebbles
THAT is a dog name. Definitely. "Come here Pebbles!" "Don't touch that Pebbles!" Can you just hear a teacher saying, "Pebbles got an 100% on her test today." Great.. name your child after an inanimate object, and if you must, name it after something that isn't stepped on all day, because that doesn't bode well for your child's social status.
10. Tessica
Trying too hard to be an original Jessica.
11. Paris
Just because SHE's named this. Did you hear that she abandoned "Tinkerbell", for whom we were forced to endure DAYS of STUPID NEWS about, because it outgrew the ideal 3.5 pounds mark. Now she's doting on "Bambi." I LIKED BAMBI THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! RUIN THE NAME
12. Angelica
You're just cursing your child to be mean and spiteful. Maybe the Rugrats scarred me or something.
13. Hortense
Andy bid me to add this. It's first of all an extremely ugly name, and plus: what would you call her for short?

Dad is calling me to get offline, so uh.. I may continue this list later!
Disclaimer: No offense to anyone! Just honest fun not meant to harm anyone.

legovanan
Those of you who don't like sentimentality, or retch at the sight or sound of romance, TURN AWAY!!! That means you, Connie.

I sound like a little girl, but i LOVE the anne of green gables movies!!!!!! at least the first two. GILBERT AND ANNE ARE PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and yes i'm trying to blind you, andy)

"You know, every day I would pick a different memory of you and play it over and over and over again in my mind, until every hair, every freckle, every part of you was exactly as I remembered."

Alright I'm sorry if Kristina is the only one who shares the opinion that that is extremely adorable!

Poor Elijah... poor big eyes!!!!

Elijah Wood fears that he will forever be a Hobbit. 'I will always be a Hobbit,' were his words. I think he's becoming the next Mark Hamill, Luke Skywalker no matter what, or Carrie Fisher: Leia always. Macauley Calkin's another one. I think Elijah Wood is the only one out of LotR who has to suffer this way, not merely because he is the main character (and pulled it off so beautifully i'm tearing up just thinking of his cracked lips and harsh breathing upon the slopes of Oroduin.. omg.. must watch), but also because of his looks. Those big, blue eyes and baby-face will always be associated with the adorable Hobbit.
He said:
"I can't go anywhere, including the Czech Republic, without people in the street calling me 'Frodo'."

Why the Czech Republic? I wanna go there. Prague is beautiful.
I don't know. All of them, Viggo, Elijah, Sean A, David, Liv Tyler, Sir Ian, Billy, Dom, Hugo Weaving (he scares me in Matrix), Christopher Lee (it's WRONG to see him as Johnny Depp's father AND/OR Count Dooku. NO SEVERING ANAKIN'S LIMBS!!!!), Andy Serkis, Pete Jackson, etc will always, no matter how many great movies they make, hopefully all of which i shall endeavor to watch, unless it's too perverse/horrific for my tastes, but they will always, always always always always, be Aragorn, Frodo, Sam, Faramir, Arwen, Gandalf, Pippin, Merry, Elrond, Saruman, Gollum/Smeagol, etc.
I think especially Elijah, Viggo, Billy, Sean, and Dom. I don't know what it is with Hobbits, but that look just won't fade, not that I want it to, of course. Dom's so precious as a Hobbit! (OKay elsa i admit it), and Billy is just... Pippin. How could he be anything BUT a Fool of A Took? Sean Astin is so adorable, and such a perfect Hobbit anyway. And Elijah is just Frodo.

I miss the old Decembers. I really do. They were the best Decembers ever. Every year, there was something to look forward to. the 17th or the 18th, go to the movies, and then the week after, Kathleen gives me the Extended of the previous film! ARGH suffering from withdrawal.

NO SNIGGERING OR SNICKERING ELSA.

Wow.. this is a good statement summing up Catherine de Medici:
Men were made not to love, but to serve her.

Except it would be a more general term, as in people were made to serve her.
What a fool Henry II was.

laalalallalala leaving for Minneapolis early tomorrow morning. FUN. GREAT.

OMG
I AM HAPPY
I GOT MY LFC STEVEN GERRARD DVD!!!!!!!! It'S PERFECT. PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT. He needs to enunciate with his thick accent, but he's PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT!!!!! Jamie Carragher has a rather high pitched voice. Steven Gerrard sounds like a calmer, raspier Michael Owen. they're PERFECT!!!!!!!! Spanish Scouse is hilarious from Rafa. Milan Baros has a lighter accent than Luis Garcia. I don't think half the team can understand Sami Hyypia speaking. WOW the Finnish accent. I wanna hear him speaking Finnish.
AND
I JUST GOT MY SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Caper the caper
Sing me a song!
Death will come soon to hush us along
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall
Love is a pastime that never will pall

Cupid he rules us all!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I must now listen to it a MILLION times before the night is over! Before that cruel morning lark sings its discording song! Nightingle sing on!
The night is young Leonardo!

THANK YOU MATTHEW!!!!!!!!!!! *hugs matthew and romeo*

EVIL blogger. I made these wonderful, lovely lists because Elsa had inspired me with her list-making that I must endure, according to her. and NOW they are GONE.

EVIL.

The first topic was of Elsa's choice, since she was that divine inspiration. I heave a sigh and say that these lists will never be the same. THE ORIGINALITY IS LOST!!! *breaks into passionate weeping*
Okay so my venture into the most elegant Court in Europe (the Court of FRANCE, matthew) has left me a bit dramatic. well it hasn't left me yet. i still have 200 pages to go of this one.

*favorite romance novels*
I've read so many... I must think...
1. Romeo and Juliet (Can't help if the ultimate masterpiece tops all! add that to my recent obsession)
2. uh... Anna Karenina! of course
3. Wuthering Heights (O the PERFECTION)
4. Tess of the D'Urbervilles
5. argh but some of the best romances have sprung from the listless minds of us obsessies, in the form of fan fiction... definitely "Waves of Fire" by Nerdanel, detailing the love of Feanaro and Nerdanel. could even top Anna Karenina in my list
6. "A Lost Generation" by Fiona... with her long name that i can't remember. The lives of Lily Evans and James Potter. SO GOOD!
I've read so many romance novels. I KNOW i'm missing something! O I GOT IT! what was it called though?! ARGH i can't remember the title... it was about the Civil War. the title had the word "Fire" in it. WHAT WAS IT? i remember the cover! I remember the characters! ALL OF THEM. WHAT WAS THE TITLE?!??! IT was really good.. ARGH. I WILL remember. I WILL.
7. The Other Boleyn (not as much romance as seduction and lust, but a great book) WHAT IS THAT OTHER ONE'S NAME?!?!?!!?
8. FIRE BY NIGHT!!! PLEASE TELL ME MY MEMORY IS GOOD AMAZON!!!!!!!!!1 OMG I'M BRILLIANT!!!!! I KNEW IT WAS FIRE, and then FIRE BY NIGHT POPPED IN!!!!!!!!!! well yes awesome romance and I'M SOOOOOOOO GOOD! good history in it. i ACTUALLY LIKED something about the Civil War! ooo 2 bucks for it on amazon. if there wasn't any shipping i'd buy it right now.

so next topic... OO GOT IT
*Favorite footballers* (you guys saw this coming.. admit it!)
1. hmm.. i REALLY WONDER *looks up at blog picture* well of COURSE
STEVEN GERRARD
2. Michael Owen (well he could give stevie a run for his money for his place in my heart. stevie lived in his shadow before michael LEFT.)
3. Xabi Alonso (the crafty Spaniard who has the most beautiful crosses in history)
4. John Arne Riise (he's insane, but he's AWESOME)
5. Ronaldinho (rivals Xabi for the most beautiful crosses, but i think i shall bestow the most creative player award on him, and let xabi keep his crossing)
6. Frank Lampard
7. Jamie Carragher (who doesn't love Carra?)
8. Ronaldo (the older, Brazilian galactico one)
9. Didi Hamann
10. Luis Garcia
11. I WON'T say Cahill. I won't! I won't I won't! Okay FINE. TIM CAHILL
I respect Shevchenko a lot, and I think I'll grow to really like Kaka as well, but I haven't seen enough of them. Um... I think that's it for now. Awww poor Stewart Downing didn't make my list either. Let's count them.
11 of them in total: SEVEN liverpudlians; 1 damned evertonian. i will NEVER say i like tony hibbert. 1 of those chelsea freaks; 1 galactico; 1 Barca person.
Let's count their positions now:
2 strikers
6 definite attacking midfielders
2 defensive midfielders, though xabi alonso can be counted as an attacking midfielder at times as well
1 defender; the best CB in england if i may say so.

so we learn from that little list that elaine has an interesting fancy for attacking midfielders. especially one named Steven Gerrard, but you all knew that.

hmm...
*favorite poets*
1. Emily Bronte (wow she's good and depressing)
2. Emily Dickinson (in all her dash-ing glory hehe matthew)
3. Christina Rosseti
4. William Shakespeare (preceded by 3 women.. wow! probably never thought of that, did ya Will? not that my humblest opinion matters much to thee, good sir)
5. George Gordon, Lord Byron
6. Percy Byssh Shelley (i can't make up my mind which one of these crazy friends I like better)
7. John Keats (Or if i like this calmer, less-erotic one of the triumvirate the most)
8. Alfred, Lord Tennyson
9. Dylan Thomas
10. JRR Tolkien
11. John Donne (in his paradoxic, depressing, highly Puritan way)

hmm... I need a collection of Keats and Shelley. i just bought a Byron one.

Hopefully this STUPID THING wil let me load this now.

OMG HOW could I forget?!!? My reNEWed obsession. Well not really renewed, as I was never really obsessed before, but I am now.
Take a WILD GUESS. And don't say Swedish peasants like Elsa did.

Done guessing?

Alright... here's your hint:
If I profane unto thee with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle pain is this
My lips, two blushing pilgrims ready stand
To smooth the rough touch with a gentle kiss

Know what it is now? No? Fine this is the easiest thing ever:
Deny thy father and refuse thy name!
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love
And I'll no longer be a Capulet!
It is thy name that is mine enemy.

I LOVE the old Zeffirelli movie!!!! Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting are PERFECT. Stupid Baz Lurhman, or however you spell it. My new fav song is the love theme:

What is a youth?
Impetuous fire
What is a maid?
Ice and desire
The world wags on

A rose will bloom
And then will fade
So does a youth
So does the fairest maid

Comes the time
When one sweet smile
Has its season for a while
Then love's in love with me

Some may think only to marry
Others will tease and tarry
Mine is the very best parry
Cupid he rules us all

Caper the caper
Sing me a song
Death will come soon
To hush us along

Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall
Love is a pastime that never will pall
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall
Cupid he rules us all

A rose will bloom
It then will fade
So does a youth
So does the fairest maid..

Hehehe I can't help it!!!! Now I must memorize Romeo and Juliet. I have most of the big scenes memorized already. Now the rest!
I'm obsessed! I can't help it! Tis part of my nature good folk. Tolkien is still untouchable. I need to read the Unfinished Tales again!

STUPID COMMENT THING. FINALLY, and i mean FINALLY got it to work. I am now prepared for attacks from all directions: mainly andy, hanna, and connie, with matthew going on every time I say something about Liverpool, which is like every day.

Went to Soak City with Kathleen yesterday. Justine's bday, so I got dragged along. It was fun though. THE BUCKET KATHLEEN THE BUCKET!!!! So basically it was me, Kathleen, Johnson, a guy that she's known FOREVER, who's a year older than her, his 6 year old little brother kevin, and justine, who just turned 9. (HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUSTINE!) So yea.. three of us taking care of two little kids, who like to talk A LOT. The "relaxing pool", as we have dubbed it, was awesome. It was basically this huge circular thing where you float around on little donut shaped floaty thingies. Wow the most redundant sentence I've ever written. So yea.. you're supposed to "relax", but uh... we didn't get the point. I for one, couldn't get on the stupid floaty thingies. Kevin kept falling through his donut, and Justine was trying to be Malibu Barbie. Add Johnson trying to freakin kill me by flipping my floaty thingy over, and then Kathleen flipping herself over while trying to flip Johnson over. It was chaos. Fun chaos though.

Everton's going to lose tomorrow!!! Liverpool's gonna kick arse on Wednesday!!!

Going to Minneapolis on Friday. I WANT MY STEVEN GERRARD DVD!!

So life has been... the same lately. Just dragging out the days till the busy stressful hum of life at Troy commences once more. I kinda don't want it to start, cuz then it seems like it will never end, and I don't like the DBar kids, except one, or two, if you include Simon, no wait three I like Vicky too, and four cuz I like Chris Gray, but overall, i loved the peace (okay it wasn't peaceful) but the... atmosphere of our little freshman plus kathleen circle. I mean.. we fought (more like 2 of us fought), but we understood each other, and it just felt natural. But blah.. i can't wait to take AP Euro! I will miss the 13 hours of sleep daily though..

So I was thinking
A dangerous habit I know
That crazy old coot is Belle's father

OKAY NO MORE. Probably only Elsa can tell me where that's from, and what the next line is, so I challenge you to tell me!
So I was thinking and my mind, dangerous thing it is, came across the concept of childhood sweethearts. And I asked--Why? Why is the idea of a childhood sweetheart so endearing and sweet to most people? Not like o yea there was this girl I used to play with who lived down the street and after i moved i never saw her again, but the idea that someone you loved, probably in a childish way, after you grow up, is destined for you. If not destined, there's something "there" when you're older.
Let's say like Christine and Raoul (I know you hate them Elsa) for example. They played together for a summer when they were young, then they were separated for years and years, but when they met again, they fell in love, or as some advocates argue: BACK in love.

THAT kind of chilhood sweetheart. But why is that concept so endearing for so many people? Why do we long for someone like that in our lives? Well at least some of us do. Is it the comforting thought that someone familiar to us will love us in the future? A kind of guarantee I suppose, but not really. A person to share the future with, who knows your past and still loves you. Or is it merely just a romantic ideal that leaves us with fuzzy warm feelings inside?

I need to think that one out.

I need a good romance novel. Like chivalrous, courtly love, with flowery, romantic language that in the end are nothing but promises that he doesn't intend to keep, but make you happy anyway. With stifling yet beautiful gowns and masques and promenades and balls and men/knights or both fighting for favor. With balcony scenes beneath the moonlight, roses and poems, valor and distress, luthien and beren, romeo and juliet... that kind of thing. Or Maglor and whatever his unnamed wife who as far as I'm concerned doesn't exist. *sigh* wouldn't it be nice if guys could sing? and then take it one step further... they could be like Maglor, compose his songs and then perform them in the most beautiful and poignant voice since Daeron lost. NO offense Luthien, but I don't think Beren could sing! AND he was human and cost you all that trouble. Ah well.. the course of true love never did run straight.

Shutting up now.

You find the most unexpected things at random places sometimes. Bought Elsa's AND Andy's bday presents, without even intending to. They're awesome though. Shipping might be a bit interesting for Elsa's. I hope you guys like them though.

People who don't want to hear Elaine's stupidity/craziness or don't give a hoot or a holler (where the hell did THAT expression come from) turn away NOW:

He's big! He's red! His feet stick out of the bed!
Peter Crouch!!!!!!! Peter Crouch!!!

He's big! He's red! The sign says, 'Mind your head'
Peter Crouch!!!!!! Peter Crouch!!!

He's big! He's red! He can score without his head!
Peter Crouch!!!!! Peter Crouch!!!

He's big! He's red! It's time he was fed!
Peter Crouch!!!!!! Peter Crouch!!!

He's big! He's tall! He's there for the long ball!
Peter Crouch!!!!!! Peter Crouch!!!

He's big! He's tall! He just fell over the ball!
Peter Crouch!!! Peter Crouch!!!!

Wow... what Liverpudlians do in their spare time. I did NOT write that amazingly hilarious, yet relevant masterpiece; a bunch of bored Liverpudlians did in a message board, but I love it. Can't wait to hear them singing it at Anfield. I'm not the biggest fan of Crouch, at least not yet, but he is very... inspirational, to say the least.

One day I'm going to go into a restaurant that I like, and order absolutely everything I want, from appetizer to dessert, and not care how much it is, how much I'll waste, and how fattening it is. Why can't I have a soda AND buffalo wings?! Is there a law against that? I wish i were a Hobbit (Hanna didn't read this), just because I could have six hearty meals a day. I want chocolate cake. Too bad. You can't have chocolate cake. *receives a lecture about the evils of chocolate cake*
"Can we eat something good today?"
"Yea like a hot dog."
