Seems like I waste all my time making rhymes

I'm attempting to knit some armwarmer gloveswithoutfingers things. It's going okayish so far. Not amazing, but I only messed it up once and you can't really tell. I will post a picture if/when they get done.

I really like House of Heroes. I hope they live a long life without getting too famous so I can always afford their CDs and they won't ever sound like all the other rock bands that get too famous. And I hope they don't get too many guitarists like Relient K, even though I really like Relient K.

Okay, I have to go shoppingish now. TEE TEE WHY ELL.

I'm not hiding, I'm just buying some time for us to find the back door

40th post! Hooray or something!

Today was busy. Went to the most bizarre movie ever. It's called The Fountain. Don't see it. It was weird and dumb.

I'm sleepy and this blog post is lame.

I'm knitting stuff again. Don't make fun of me.

Acoustic Emery is lovely.

My PureVolume has been updated.

Say what you want, but I know what you're thinking

OKAY YOU GUYS I TOTALLY TOOK ANDY DOWN PLAYING FOOTBALL THIS MORNING. It was amazing. You should have been there.

Thanksgiving was good. I ate lots of food. Mostly sweet potatoes.

The Thanksgiving service yesterday was okay. Worship went fine. I kind of wish we hadn't played the offering song we played, just because we had just learned it, and I would have liked to have known it well enough to play it and sing it at the same time, but I didn't. So I just played and attempted a harmony here and there that usually only lasted a couple lines. And I'm pretty sure that the mics we were singing into weren't actually vocal mics. They made annoying "PUH" sounds when you sang too close.

My Playlist of Awesomeness expanded this week. I added more songs to the computer so it's mo'bettah. Before it was just ones I had gotten online.

So, I guess I'm out of things to talk about. Oh well.

They're gonna wanna shake your hand and take a picture with your band

COURIER'D!!!

So. Today is kind of mildly lame. Just so y'all 'r aware and stuff.

Driver's Ed tonight. Driver's Ed Wednesday. Then NO MORE DRIVER'S ED EVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. Assuming I pass. Which I think I will. I'm doing almost as well as the smart kid. Well. He's still doing better than I am, but I beat him on this one worksheet thing and got the same score as he did on the take-home test. So I can't be doing that badly. And I passed the driving part with an 87%, so it would be hard to fail the rest considering my average score so far is probably a C or a B. Hopefully. Man, I don't want to think about that junk anymore. *dies*

I swear, you're an angel somehow

Mara's soundtrack according to random songs off of her iTunes...

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...

These thoughts run through my head over and over

I haven't been online in a while, so I thought I'd make sure y'all know I'm still alive. Yes, I just said 'y'all', and I'm okay with that. I'm Iowan, I can speak however I want and nobody knows the difference.

So, The Final Pardon has three possible shows coming up, including a gig that would be like, one song for like, 400 people. Yep. That's a lot.

Sooo I have homework and stuff so I jee too jee.

Every time I try the words come out the same

You guys kill me.

No, that picture was not as random as I made it sound. I AM A FILTHY LIAR I TELL YOU. But regardless of whether or not that was random, I have better not random ones. That I believe only a select few people (including Taylor. Is that what we're calling you here?) have even seen. And it will remain that way, so don't try to convince me otherwise.

I am laughing still. You guys are great. Oh man. I need to get a life.

This punk rock show is over, go home

Okay. I have to respond to those last comments, because... I just have to is all.

Ryan: Vanessa is Greek. I think it's Greek at least. I just remember what it means. [/crypticish]

Adri: My birthday is December 30th. New Years Eve Eve. It's an odd spot for a birthday.

Hans: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Okay. That cryptic one made my day. The not cryptic one was very not cryptic, but it was also funny. I am still laughing about the other one.

*still laughing*


In the spirit of answering comments (or something), here's a random photo. It's from the church retreat.

From left: Andy, Andrew, me, Emily

Em is by best friend fo'evah. Andy is my brother. Andrew is... a boy. Yes. They are my best friends.

Sincerely,

Set, set, set, are you ready to go?

So! Hi guys! What's up?

Tonight I am going to Harmsen's to help get stuff ready for a craft show and possibly watch a movie(s). It will be fun. I am happy about that.

I have awesome music on my iTunes thing. I wish I had an mp3 player. Someone should get me one for Christmasbirthday. *cough*

I wish my name were Vanessa. [/cryptic]

I don't want to live, I don't want to breathe unless I feel you next to me

My God. Is. Like. Really cool.

Yeah, I don't even know what to say. Still.

I need a big, happy hug.

*happysigh*

I'm going to go fly around or something. Whatever butterflies that are actually little girls do with their spare time when they're happy.
