"..you southern brothas can't deny"
That's the strangest assignment ever. haha
i'm sorry liz. i have about 6 different scars from burns on my hands. small ones.
How was I supposed to know that the big red pipe in my basement was for the heat?! It was poorly labeled? I think it's a sign.
A sign you should learn how to read?
Ooh yeah I forgot...
*Gives liz sympathy*
A sign that I shouldn't go into plumbing or heating.
And I do read!
I read 4 books all of which over 300 pages in 3 days, BAM!
Hmm...maybe it was a sign to read less....
I'm not really great with this sign buisness
Well, 2-hour nap later, I feel refreshed
Mary, yaay about Phantom! When are you going specifically? I hope you're going one of the 2 performances Rebecca Pitcher goes on, she's really good, Sandra Joseph has just been doing the role too long.
Ooh, I use Baby Got Back as a semi-theme song for myself:
I have a big butt and I cannot lie
You other brothers can't deny
But how are you stuck w/ all the work? Don't let it be like you only trust yourself to do the high quality work...well I did that all the time in elem school, I shouldn't talk.
Those assignments can be pretty fun. In 6th grade we had to write a song about a current event, I wrote aboutt the day the beam fell at Yankee Stadium so they played a game at Shea...I went to that game, it was cool. Anyway, did it to the theme of Gilligan's Island I think I posted that somewhere before, b/c I remember trying to remember it, so guess I won't repost it.
I hate signs, I don't know how I'll ever drive.
Alright, since you guys enjoyed it, here is our song so far: (I wrote basically all of it)
Oh my god, the lead up the Civil War is SO long.
There’s like, 14 events.
Who understands the stuff before the war anyways?
I mean, this song is gonna be SO boring.
I can’t believe the 3/5 Compromise. It’s so like, racist.
Yeah, taxation and representation only counted slaves for like... 3/5 of a person.
I want to abolish slavery and I cannot lie
The Missouri Compromise helped that fly
When Missouri was admitted as a slave state
Maine went free … page 358
Slavery in the Louisiana Territory was banned
North of the 36 30 parallel land
The Nat Turner Rebellion killed 55 whites on hand
The Liberator and the North Star
Made Abolitionism go far
(I wanted to keep everything with the song, but stupid teachers requirements are that EVERY thing rhymes.. I had to convince her to let us do the beginning dialogue part since that goes with the song).
10 events to go.. aghh..
I made up some funnier lyrics but they wouldn't be usuable for class and didn't rhyme.
Oh, and before this song, when she first assigned this project, I was thinking (to the end of Defying Gravity):
And now slaveowner, that there is or was
Is ever gonna enslave MEEEEEEE
(I hope your an abolitionist)
Look at her shes escaping to the North!
Get her!
And nobody's gonna catch me.. EVER..
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
Except that says nothing about the causes of the civil war.
interesting mary. very interesting.
guess what? I have a surprise for the radio show for next Monday. it is so good, I have no idea why I never thought of it before.
sorry, just had to blurt it out now.
Wait.. I have.. next Monday.. OFF!!
I'M FINALLY GOING TO LISTEN.
*throws party*

President's Day. I should check if I have off...
Edit: I *do* have off. Wow..well, that's good to know
Though in this case, I prob won't wake up until after Dre's show
I have all of next week off, thus the Phantom-going.
Oh man...I hope I have president's day off.
amanda! geez. lol. I'll put a WSS song at the top of my list so you have to tune in.
Holy crap...I don't have it off.
Turns out my school is Anti- presidents.
Damn commies.

Hail comrade.
Next week's my last week of school, and then, FEBRUARY BREAK! Off from the 17th-28th.
