Question

Will someone please teach me how to make a template? I know it's really hard...but I want to learn. Please?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Where is Everyone Today?

.....................Can't think of an interesting title right now.........................

Well, just got back from the Dive Shop with my grandpa to pick up some of their dive gear. And I happened to notice that there was a Pro Golf Discount right accross the street (which is, as the name implies, a discount professional golf store). And so we went.
AND I WAS IN HEEEEAAAAAVVVVEEEENNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was lots of fun. My dad goes a lot and talks about it all the time, but I'd never been to one. Anyway it was really cool.
Comet and I have a cat show next weekend before Lego's concert. Which should be interesting. Which I should be studying for now...but I don't have my book anyway so I really couldn't even if I wanted to. But I'm a senior this year (first year as a senior) so I have to know a whole new book.
At least I've read it:)
And I have a question list...it's just...I'm so used to knowing the Unit Two information from cramming *coughs* errr, I mean, studying that not knowing half of this book is kind of freaking me out. But the seniors are kind of embarassing most of the time. Like, they never study. Hardly. Even though there's more of them this year, me studying at all gives me an edge over a lot of the seniors who just don't. Study, I mean.
Have you ever noticed how stupid English is? Seriously, I mean, it's the dumbest langueage ever invented. No rule is without it's personal 50 exceptions that really are exceptions for no reason. It's illogical and insensical. Why do we have to speak English?
And the measurement system! Don't even get me started. The metric system makes so much more sense if you know how to use it.
Anyway, that was a little random, so...........................what else?
I guess that's about it. I've just been hanging out watching the clock hands move and waiting until I can say 10 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mom won't be able to handle me during the last three or so days...I'll need serious diversions. Anyone open to adopting a hyper excited girl?
Namarie, melloni nin!
Verya

But why is the rum gone?

Hi all,
I just finished watchin PotC special features stuff. Oh and speaking of which...
ONLY 11 MORE DAYS TIL POTC II COMES OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, sorry. Still a little excited.
So, what did everyone do for Thanksgiving? We ate food. Starting at 1:00 and continuing until 8 or 9. Pretty much without breaks.
I'm at my grandparents' house...spent the night. And tonight we're going to see the Nutcracker at PNB!!! Which my friend is in. It's the opening performance. I talked to her on the phone this morning though, and she says she's not nervous. More excited. She's got a dress rehearsal, the a 4-hour break and then her performance.
Oh and the best part - I get to meet with her afterward for a few minutes! Which is cool because we hardly ever see each other.
I miss peoples!!! It seems like everyone's gone. Maybe it's just since I've been gone...so I really shouldn't be complaining, huh?
Got an e-mail from our German exchange student Shelly last week! She's been so busy and we hadn't heard from he in awhile. She just got to see PotC II for the first time last week, because Germany releases US movies about 6 months after they come out here. Kinda stinks really. But she liked it a lot.
So I spent most of last night watching trailers for PotC II. I can't have the movie yet so I'm taking the next best thing, lol. :) And looking up stuff for #3. But I don't want spoilers, just a little information since there's no trailer yet. I know it's released May 25th, '07. And Disney says that Keith Richards is playing Cpt. Grant Sparrow, Jack's dad. Which I think they really could leave out. But, "tribute to Keith" or whatever since he 'inspired' Johnny Depp. w/e
And this could ruin it after #3 is released:
Ok, go to Google and type in "pirates of the caribbean 4" and see what you come up with.
Well? Kinda ruins it. Keira Knightley has bowed out of future sequels, and while Will may not be necessary to the story, what's the point of making more sequels if you're killing off the main characters? I looooved #2, and I think #3 will still be really good, but come on, it's not Star Wars! I think any more than 3 will be lame. Just my opinion, but I don't think they'd do very well. But then Disney says that rumors about Will and Lizzy are 'completely unfounded' which is probably true. People can't just wait for a good trailer...
I like my plot best *evil laugh* mwahahahaha!!!! Anyway, I'm not getting too interested in #3 til they have a trailer out, which should be soon hopefully...

There are some spoilers in here if you haven't seen 2 yet.

This is a good site, but there isn't very much there:

Hey this is a really neat interview with Naomie Harris (Tia Dalma):

http://www.zap2it.com/movies/news/zap-naomieharrispirates2,0,6671311.story

Anyway I'm trying to find a realease date for a trailer but no one seems to know anything about that...they'd rather gossip...

Here's something...if it's real:

MoviesOnline recently caught up with producer extraordinaire Jerry Bruckheimer at the Los Angeles Press Day for his latest film, the soon-to-be-released "Déjà Vu" starring Denzel Washington, Paula Patton, Val Kilmer, Jim Caviezel, and Adam Goldberg. He updated us on the progress of Pirates 3 ("Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End") which is currently filming as well as the possibility of a Pirates 4 given the incredible success of Pirates 1 and 2. Mr. Bruckheimer is a sensational producer and we really appreciated his time. Here’s what he had to tell us:Q: What have you seen in the poster for Pirates 3 that’s got you really excited?
JB: We have Chow Yung-Fat which is really interesting and exciting. It’s a thrill to be able to work with him. There’s always new stuff. We’ve got an ending that’s amazing. It’s really a nice ride and it’s still filming. Q: Is Keith Richards in it?
JB: He’s in it. We finished him. He’s filmed. He’s got a small little cameo.Q: Is his head okay now?
JB: Apparently. (laughter) He was great to be with. He didn’t want to leave. He was having the best time. Q: Is there going to be a Pirates 4?
JB: I hope so. I hope so if we could come up with a good story. I think we have a big jump on a story that we’re going to do. Q: When I interviewed you for the second one, you said, ‘Oh, we don’t know yet.’ With the latest one doing so well, it seems there may be a fourth one coming out?
JB: Yeah, we hope so. We hope so.source: MoviesOnline.com

Anyway we'll wait and see but for the sake of the movie I hope they don't kill of any main characters, and I'd really be happy if they kept it a three. If #3 is amazing, then 4 might be good, but we don't need to turn this into a saga. Please!

Then everyone's saying that the PotC 3 trailer was supposed to come out with Santa Clause 3, but I went and trust me it wasn't there! Which is kind of annoying.
Oh yeah, and apparently Tia Dalma was the one Davey Jones fell in love with, but she loved someone else (I kind of already guessed that), and *supposedly* she loved Jack's father. Which is all screwed up. It doesn't especially make much sense.
You're not making any sense at all.
Well, I'm not stating any of this as fact. Just what all the rumors are, and we know how trustworthy they are, haha.

Anyway that's about it...I'm not doing much...just taking a late lunch break now. Okay, really late. So talk to you all later!
Namarie

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys gotta run but I'm sorry I've been gone like 4evR and I promise a post tomorrow because I'll be here at my grandparents aaaallll daaaaayyyyy. Which is a good thing. Then we're going to see the Nutcracker!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here in Canada...again

Hi guys,
I don't have much time I'm on the hotel's computer (free high-speed rocks!) at like 10:15 at night but I'm in Canada (eh) for a cat show. My ring started at 4:00. We just finished. And we were the first ones done. But Friday night shows always go late. I'll be here until Sunday afternoon and then I'll be at my aunt's until Sunday late, so I'll be posting when I can...but I don't think that'll be much. Sorry :(
Lego tell your computer it's dumb. And it's not allowed to drop e-mails.
Gotta go, namarie everyone and I'll be on again as soon as I can!

Forever forever

I'm feeling much better than I was earlier! I just got back from Jazz Alley where I went with my grandparents, and we saw Keiko Matsui. Oh my gosh it was incredible!!!
To start off with, the percussionist must have had a bazillion instruments without names. It was really really cool. He was on fire. Then there was a really good bassist, a guitarist, a drummer, and a saxaphonist/clarinetist (or something else long and metal). And then there was Keiko. I can't describe her in words. But I have I feeling I'm going to try anyway.
She was just so energetic, so into her music. She could play the same notes and still make it intense, energetic, happy, or whatever she wanted it to be. And when she smiled, you could so tell that it wasn't a stage smile - she really loved what she was doing.
Keiko Matsui is an elegant, beautiful Japanese pianist who possessed the beautiful magic of turning the whole room into a spellbound audience just waiting for her next transformation. She made everyone feel comfortable, and was a great pianist too. This is the first show I've been to with a pianist where I could watch and enjoy the music while figuring out the chords and stuff in my head. That was a lot of fun, and it made me feel really good.
Ok, so we got there, and there's a keyboard front and center, a keytar next to it, and a Yamaha grand stage left. We asked the person seating us if we could sit closer on the side of the piano, and ended up geting seats literally touching the stage, with an awesome side view of the piano!!! That was super exciting. We also ate dinner there...I had lamb shank...really good. Then dessert...
We won't go into that.
;) lol

I finished 2 Corinthians this week and now I'm in Galatians. That's a really cool book. And my HyperStatic Union CD is so uplifting. And because my grandparents aren't really into my music, I have a CD player in my room here, so that's been nice.
I'm gonna be here like all day tomorrow. Except for a lunch date. But my parents have a meeting in the afternoon so I'll be here. I'd love to hear from you guys, and I'll probably be doing plenty of e-mailing myself. And blogging for that matter.
How's Latin coming Lego? Chemistry's ok. We got to blow things up on Friday!!! Ok, not really...it was, well, vinegar and baking soda in a 2-liter bottle...but that's beside the point! It was fun. And the teacher wasn't there and the T.A. was sick so the other boy and I were in the foyer with all the adults. And he explained the mole-concept to me so I actually understood it.
I'm forgetting Chem this weekend. I don't need to worry about it right now. And I think it's just a half module this week anyway, so...I'm just saying I'm not worrying about it. :)
But You heard my cry/even though I lived a lie/knew that I would be Your servant/till the day that I died.
So, how are you Vani; how's chem?
What's up Beth? Haven't heard from you in awhile.
Em, how's the duplicitus/dragon coming?
Anna...is Latin off-limits? Just kidding I'm praying for you kiddo.
We might make black cookies tomorrow!!! Those are really good no-bake drop cookies. With great stuff in them. Hmmm...maybe I'll post the recipe.
Oh yeah, we finally got to pick out our pictures of the cats and me that we took a week ago! I'll post some of them later...I don't have them right now.
Top Gun's on right now. I'm trying not to watch much because it's in the other room and I'm afraid I'll look up at the time that I'm not supposed to be watching. I guess I should be typing instead, huh?
Well, I just realized that there's not really any more to type about. So I think I'll go do some more work on Rintore. (sorry, I don't have an e with a grave accent right now. obviously. I'll have to figure out how to do that...)
I've noticed that I do the dot-dot-dots a lot more when I'm indecisive. Or confused or whatever.
All my troubles seem so far away!!!! lalalalala!!!
lalas for you Legolas, mellon nin.
you are all meloni nin.
A lot.
Ok, I'll just go shut up now and blast HyperStatic Union and work on Rintore and read Galatians 3.
Namarie!
