    to hire you as my spelling/grammar
    checker. ;]

    0_o That's French? My entire
    direct family speaks French,
    and I don't. I can understand...
    three words.

    a peer editor, but unfortunately,
    I have no friends who have a basic
    knowledge of the English language.

    Bad grammar sucks.
    Though, I can't always catch
    it for my own stories.

    Those stories are so far
    from sublime, its not even
    funny.

    I hate the word Jonathan,
    there's so many ways to spell
    it, so I'm just like I'm spelling it
    Jonathan, and thats that. =p

    Yes. I made sure of that as well. See, when I had Easter Bunny instead of E.B., it had something about Pentecost or Passover or something when translated (though I did most myself. Well…the second sentence I completely did, and I had to look up assassinate and executed and bilingual.).

    Oh gosh. Them being on the oldies stations! =D

    "Candy Mountain, Charlie!"

    Yeah. . .I've not actually read Macbeth yet. I have problems with plays and poems and some nonfiction. I just can't understand them on the first try and so I just don't even bother; I stick to fiction. I probably should try more though. That quote seems. . . Shakespeare-ish.

    Russians don't bode well with me anyway -- after having to [i]walk[/i] into their country -- so once I read Truman didn't like them either. . . well, it was over with! (So you play piano?)

    Of course it means something – Rhett said it! Gosh do I love me some Rhett.
    (I actually found some foreshadowing about his leaving Atlanta and Scarlett. He told Scarlett [i]way[/i] before he [finally] married her that if she ever got sense he would leave Atlanta. Of course, from what I remember from before, he was already packing when she got home . . . so he was sort of shooting the gun. (Maybe it was Scarlett finally caring about Melanie?))

    Exactly! Mrs. Jackson! 7th grade! Grammar, grammar, grammar!
    Yes, it was a bit irritating having to teach myself.

    I've never even attempted to meet anyone from a band. *shock*
    I listen to a ton of stuff I don't even know who did. And the bands I listen to…I'm not an expert on.
    Paramore, the Bravery of course, Green Day, Fall Out Boy, Jason Mraz, Billy Joel uh. . . .others?

    Georgia is a pretty state (all the vegetation I mean. . .) but it would be better if it weren't so darn [i]humid[/i]. Heat I can deal with (having it from like March to October), but humidity is stupid and unbearable. So I suppose we are hardcore for putting up with the humidness.

    Next year, the school system is changing and I start at the end of August and go until June 6. I get an extra long summer this year! (That you can be jealous of.)

    Basically I will remember the music and the amount of syllables the vocalists sings but I can't remember the lyrics. So I'm like humming but doing all the word breaks. =D

    This is what babelfish says you meant:

    lalalalala, I want to speak French in your how wall. j' like much Harry Truman. I n' do not love animal people. can I say quelquechose? You are too impressive. [which is like the closest I edge get to meaning " awesome".] We must start has to plan our attack soon. And also our removal of Truman DNA.



    My turn to turn your profile bilingual.

    Bilingüe, sí. Pero no hablo francés. Hablo español si cualquier cosa.

    El plan para asesinar el E.B. será ejecutado poco después de terminar la doctrina de Truman.

    ¡Mataremos ese conejo! ¡Truman vive!

    That's something to think about. So in like 60 years people will be looking at our -- I don't know -- computers as antiques. They'll use them to decorate or something. =D

    No Super Wal-Mart. And a Starbucks. And McDonalds (they're everywhere!). I made a comment about those three in my story Phoebe one time. I believe it was something along the lines as any town is complete, no matter how small, if it has those three.

    Exactly. (Shall now open book to random Macbeth quote) "Thou art too like the spirit of Banquo. Down!" Yeah...okay.

    Darn it, I can't find my book. I recall, however, that Truman didn't like Russians, especially after [i]the incident[/i]. Truman's daughter (another Margaret I believe...) wanted to be this great pianist or entertainer or something. Anyway....one night after she played at one of those international people meetings, some Russian guy made the comment that she was horrible or such. Truman didn't take that too well. He threw a temper ... I can't remember what happened after that.

    I shall quote Rhett Butler. "All wars are sacred to those who have to fight them. If the people who started wars didn't make them sacred, who would be foolish enough to fight? But, no matter what rallying cries the orators give to the idiots who fight, no matter what noble purposes they assign to wars, there is never but one reason for a war. And that is money."

    Yeah...my teacher is essentially the same. Instead of teaching, we sort of have to teach ourselves. She teaches history.
    I'm sure I'll eventually read The Count of Monte Cristo but I don't really know when. It's on my List.

    Ooooh...the Bravery just came on the radio. "What are we waiting for? So give me something to believe. Because I am living just to breathe."
    Have you heard of them? Because I ate lunch next to this kid -- Andy -- yesterday and I started talking to him about bands and things. He asked me who I liked and I listed them. "You like bands no one has ever heard of." "Exactly. That's sort of the point."

    I forgot to mention that it's set in Africa. The Price family are missonaries who go to the Congo. There's this whole Bible/religion concept to it too (the title hints at that, yes?). Apparently, the language of these people in Africa can be taken two ways. Like one word said in a different way or used in different context means something entirely different. kakaka or something like that means to hurry but it's other form is diarrhea. (I guess because you have to hurry to the bathroom?) Also the word for Jesus said differently is like evil or something and the preacher Price father was saying it incorrectly. That's why the Africans didn't really trust him too much...or really just believe in J.C.

    Breaking Dawn!

    Don't mess with Georgians; we hardcore. Okay so not really. I think there are crazies (wow that looks spelled incorrectly...) everywhere.
    Yes...the Freedom Writers thing was based solely on the fact that that's what we watched in band class on Monday and Tuesday. I am now officially out of school!!! (Well....not really. I'm supposed to go today (Friday) but it's the official unofficial skip day for everyone.)

    I wonder how things are programmed ...when I look at Word in particular.

    I just cracked it open for you. Apparently when people are asked to pick a song and sing it, they sing the song within 4 percent of the original tempo. Tempo will never be forgotten by the singers essentially but pitches and lyrics and things will be. That's interesting to me.

    Good to know.

    Joy. Antiques.
    Well, I suppose some antiques are nice to have.
    We just got our Starbucks and our Wal-Mart got rebuilt to Super status.

    Yeah. . . Stephenie Meyer went to college and got a degree in like English or something. I expect she had to read all the classics.

    It’s like you know Shakespeare’s brilliant and should be admired for writing all those terrific plays, but you just wish so much that you can understand it right off.

    Do you want me to find more people he didn’t like? Just let me find my Truman book and I will start listing. . . .

    Wars are really stupid. Rhett Butler says that wars are essentially over money. That’s true I think.

    I’ve not actually read The Count of Monte Cristo but it’s among my bookshelves, right next to The Three Musketeers and Great Expectations. I hate when teachers give you a bunch of “busy work” so they don’t have to teach.

    Anagrams and palindromes are so fun!
    I have another book for you to read then. The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. Adah Price is one of the Price women the book is switching points of view with and she is very much so impressed by words and palindromes. In fact, she wishes her name was spelled A-d-a.

    Hm. . . I suppose the assassination of the Easter Bunny and Truman being cloned would be somewhere in the movie. =D
    I don’t know. Maybe it can be like the Freedom Writers...but instead of the characters writing a book, they’ll just kill the E.B. and clone Truman. (By the way, did you hear about that 3rd grade class in like Waycross, GA that tried to kill their teacher? It was a while back. Apparently she pissed a few girls off and the whole class was turned against her. Everybody had a job -- lookout, covering the windows, bringing the paper weights and other weapons. . . That’s sort of creepy.)

    Interesting. Word is always wrong about grammar though. I mean. . . . I can’t be [i]that[/i] wrong all the time.

    I don’t know. I haven’t really read that book. My mom sort of was like, “Here. Buy this.” So she got it for me. And I haven’t really read it.

    Probably there are a bunch we don’t even think / know about. I mean, Eleanor and Franklin had 5ish kids or something – or a least one. Therefore, I figure that there has to be at least one remaining.

    Of course that’s why he’s first.

    Yes. That is weird. I mean, a stranger is bad enough, but a strange bunny? Horrible.

    The one place I will always run into somebody I know is Wal-Mart. No matter where I go, it’s always in Wal-Mart that I see an old teacher or kids I go to school with. “Hollywood’s not America.” So true, actually.

    I had checked out Lord of the Flies a while back, but I didn’t really get the chance to read more than a few pages before it was back due to the library. However, it didn’t seem too bad, but I know that the symbolism and etc. that I’m supposed to find will.

    Wuthering Heights was also among my list of books I’ve began but not yet finished. I suppose now I shall have to finish. Anyway...Maddy is for the most part correct. Catherine and Heathcliff, from the little I’ve read so far, aren’t like Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.

    Plays and poems are things that I’ve always had problems with so Hamlet will probably be the most difficult of the three to read.

    I don’t know too much about history period (okay…so maybe I know a lot more than other people my age, but not to the point I can be a professor). However, certain things stick out at me. Nixon, just based upon the fact that he was about to be impeached before he resigned, seems like he is a no-good. Add the fact that Truman didn’t like him either . . . well, there’s really no doubt anymore as to him being a scumbag.

    Wars are essentially pointless I think. We’ve been discussing in history class how the United States is like the only country in the world that will destroy or nuke a country and then help rebuild it. Any other country would get the hell out, but not us.

    Yes, October Sky is a pretty awesome movie. Last semester our English teacher made us go to the library, check out a book, and do a biography type project on someone famous. Everybody else was running around trying to get the shortest book with the biggest words or they were fighting over people, and I was sort of disgusted. I decided to pick somebody that hardly anybody had heard of but still was considered famous and so I was searching for just that when I stumbled across October Sky. I recalled the movie and so Homer Hickam became my person. I quite possibly am the only person who read their book, and, out of the people who did read theirs, the one who read the most.

    Oh, and October Sky was originally published as Rocket Boys: A Memoir. But then the movie was made and it was re-released as October Sky. Sort of funny that Sputnik went up in October of ’57 and that October Sky is an anagram of Rocket Boys.

    Oh no! *ducks and hides from Hollywood*
    [i]The Easter of Truman[/i] or something like that probably.

    I sort of admire Luther. I mean, what he went through was sort of amazing; he practically defined our world today. Although, I have to say that the language skills back then were really horrible -- lines and lines of words made up just one sentence! -- so I can only imagine his 95 Theses. (Why don’t you go eat a Diet of Worms?!) Although to think about that is sort of horrible in its own right. I mean, if our sentences are so much shorter and less complicated than theirs, imagine what the future holds.

    Yes, I actually have a book (that I haven’t fully read) on the brain; it’s entitled [i]This Is Your Brain on Music[/i]. Find the word “at” in the national anthem. Did you finish the phrase it was in? (At the twilight’s last gleaming…) You should have because the human brain remembers things in phrases. So it’s sort of similar to recalling the differences between the Roosevelts (hey, are there any of them left?) or books by remembering what the book cover looks like.

    Of course I like you. (I do like [i]most[/i] people, although I like you better than most people I know.) Oh, and the intelligent thing, I usually like people who are smart because you can ramble on about Truman or NATO or assassinating the Easter Bunny and they'll be right there with you saying, "Why don't we hang Santa Claus by his toenails too?" (Jared actually said something along the same lines as that once I told him we should murder the E. B. That'll be next on our list of things to do – right after stealing the DNA to clone / cloning Truman).

    Wow. 90?
    I mean, my town isn't [i]too[/i] too small, but it isn't all that large. I think we have 16, 000 in town and who knows how many people live in the county too.

    Oh, I need to mention that there are three public schools and one major private one. There's the west, east, city, and Trinity. I go to the city school ... which, by the way, has the smarter children. The western county school has the most students; the eastern school has the most kids missing at least a tooth (or so I've heard from other people's discussions); Trinity is full of snooty, spoiled white kids (I know a bunch of people who go there and can vouch for this. And the white remark is only there because that's all the school has -- no Asians even). Oh, and there's a really fierce competition between the three public schools -- but mostly just between West and us.

    Hooray for you! You finished your summer reading. =) I just got mine Thursday. I have to read Hamlet, Wuthering Heights, and Lord of the Flies for my AP Lit. class next year. I was about to get the Host the other day, but I got two other books instead; it's now on my mentally-reserved list.

    Hmm...tell your Truman-obsessed friend that Nixon was a no-good, dirty rotten S.O.B.

    And which war was fought over an ear? Because I don't believe I've ever heard of that war. (Why haven't I heard about it?!)

    Jane Eyre is one of those books that I'm working on. It's like Pride and Prejudice and Eragon and the other books I start but never finish because I buy / get a seemingly better book. It's on my list -- my Life's Library, if you will. I agree -- Margaret (wasn't that her name?) I don't think ever wrote anything worthwhile (or at least I've never even heard of any of her works) and Emily ... well, Wuthering Heights is also on my List (as well as the summer reading one now). I think Jane Eyre starts off better than Wuthering Heights though.

    I can recall the bookshelves, therefore I remember the books. Strange, right? I seem to remember Harry Potter being in the very last cubbyhole on the bottom shelf -- that was back when there were just four.

    I've noticed that whenever I read something it becomes a movie. Honestly. I read Harry Potter -- boom, a movie. Read Blood and Chocolate -- a movie (albeit a crappy, I-don't-follow-the-book-at-all one). I read John Green's works and they're being made into movies. I read Stephenie Meyer and a movie is [being] made (although due to the popularity it was inevitable anyway). I think Hollywood is watching me. (That's a laugh….)

    Why didn't she give you something better than a book on fungi? Even a biography would have been better (I recommend Homer Hickam's October Sky, if you haven't already read it.). Nonfiction mostly bores me because the author cannot show opinions or anything. I can name two Books You Should Never Read: Gandhi by Louis Fischer and The World is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman. Those two are quite possibly the dullest books imaginable.

    Wow...this was a long reply.
