LOVE it haha! Edguy is so funny. :P Is it just me or does Tobi as Robin Hood look like Heath Ledger?


Awesome!! \m/ Iced Earth's new singer is awesome so far (and yummy!). The band looks strong in this video. It seems like they change their singer on every album haha

Today Nina came over and talked to me about options (since I was so upset last week). She said I don't HAVE to get a job..like I could volunteer and go to school or work and volunteer too. She wants what I want. I feel soo much better..what would I do without her??

( Day 8- A picture of the best moment of your life )

Would you rather have to dangle from a 1,000 foot cliff on a rope tied to a tree and choose to tie the knot yourself or trust an Eagle Scout with a knot tying merit badge to tie it? Well obviously the second one haha

Today's trivia: There are at least 34 shark species in the Gulf of Mexico

One of the restaurants in Fairbanks burned down! It must have happened after I got home cause I go by the restaurant on the way home and it was fine. I had never eaten there but mom told me the food wasn't good. Everyone got out ok and they plan to rebuild. I'll have to see what it looks like now when I go to work tomorrow (or if I go to town today)

Yesterday I bought HammerFall's new CD, "No Sacrifice, No Victory" (well pre-ordered), "Reckoning Night" by Sonata Arctica, "The Dark Saga" by Iced Earth, "Theater of Salvation" by Edguy and "Damnation Game" by Symphony X. I hadn't bought CDs in awhile haha

( walking on the frozen river! )

Fish wheel: A fish wheel is a set of arms with scoops at the end, mounted on a raft and anchored in a river. The current pushing against the arms forces them to rotate, and they reach in turn to the river and scoop up fish. Fish wheels are used on the Copper and Yukon rivers, and on some Yukon tributaries

Movies watched this week: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Bedtime Stories, Das Boot

Yesterday mom and I went to see Bedtime Stories..I liked it haha. Yay Guinea pigs! Hehe (I used to have a bunch when I was younger). Then we went to the store and I bought her a digital picture frame for a Christmas present..she's been wanting one for awhile

Yesterday I used my Amazon gift card..I got a book, "Tinnitus Sanctus" again cause the other one I ordered never came, "Herzeleid" by Rammstein, "Ragnarok" by Tyr, "Crowning of Atlantis" by Therion and "The Dark Saga" by Iced Earth

( pic of the day )

Today's stupidest quote: ESPN said Owens told the Eagles on Monday that his ankle was in great pain and is in the same right leg he broke against the Cowboys on December 19 (from an MSNBC Sports article, regarding Terrell Owens of the Philadelphia Eagles)

One day months ago I entered this picture (http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a266/ShinyItaly/Europe%202006/DSCN0412.jpg) in a photo contest and named it Shiny Waters...and now it's published in a picture book. Should I be a photopgrapher for a living? Haha

I got clothes mom sent me yesterday..PJs and pants. The pants (at least the ones I'm wearing now) are tight around the waist..man. Mom also said it was -30 and -40 there...OMG

The Edguy CD came..it's a promotional CD and it's illegal to sell..*shifts eyes*

It's amusing when mom says "Lucaaaaa" ;)

Today's Latin: ningit (it's snowing)

Yesterday I bought Epica by Kamelot, Legends From Now And Nevermore by Galloglass, Battle Metal by Turisas, an Edguy shirt (http://www.amazon.com/Edguy-Ice-Dragon-T-Shirt-XL/dp/B000PRM5NS/ref=sr_1_2/002-0067479-5450450?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1180884945&sr=8-2), and Dave Barry Is Not Making This Up (a book). Yay haha

I changed my layout..feel free to say if you like it or dislike it or if something needs to be changed

My dreams are obsessed with doing everything possible to prevent me from going to Carcassonne..no far haha

Today's Latin: ex tempore (spontaneously, without preparation)

My Luca, Avantasia and Edguy CDs came yesterday...I listened to Luca's...it's dissapointing! The woman singer sounds like a pop singer and sounds horrible singing together with Olaf (who doesn't sound like himself most of the time). The CD would be almost perfect if the woman singer wasn't there! Luca's guitar and keyboard solos are amazing though...you know immediately when he's playing the keyboard cause it's so fast. And the Latin opera. *dies* My favorite songs are Pyramids and Stargates (one song) and Secrets of the Forgotten Ages

Later I have to go to the orthodontist to finally get out that retainer thingy that was pulling that one tooth up

I have now seen all episodes of season one of ER...yay! Not sure what my favorite episode from season one is though...

Today's Latin: circa (approximately)

"I was your knight, holding you tight as a brother when I saw your crying eyes. Time went by and we had to say goodbye"--"Farewell," Avantasia

Tomorrow I have to retake the math TAKS. A few days ago I had a dream I took the test and it was easy...I hope it'll be easy!

The music of POTC 2 is awesomeeee...it's way better than the first movie!! Hans Zimmer composed the music to the second movie...I think he did Black Hawk Down's music too. He's much better than Klaus Badelt, who did the first movie's music. I've also listened to some of Hellfire Club by Edguy...it's sooo good! The guitars in King of Fools are awesome!

( travelog of italy! )

Today's Latin: Mea culpa (my fault). That got Hellfire from The Hunchback of Notre Dame stuck in my head (the background singers sing mea culpa)

"And still I carry on and I will forever, cause when I see you smile I dare to believe again"--"Forever," Edguy

Yesterday my hair was cut...3-4 inches...mom originally wanted to just get it trimmed and then she wanted to cut it up to my layers cause they look bad with long hair. It's now kinda past my shoulders. I shall post a pic. I find it scary Kathryn got her hair cut yesterday too

I passed algebra 2 with a 70!! Yay me! I got a 63 on the final...and I still passed the class! NO MORE MATH CLASSES TILL COLLEGE, WHOOOO!!!!

I'm finding all the pics of Frank I can and putting them in Photobucket...like Luca. These three are so awesome and epic: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a333/RhapsodysSteel/frank%20dellapenna%20pics%20not%20mine/AWESOME.jpg and http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a333/RhapsodysSteel/frank%20dellapenna%20pics%20not%20mine/POUNDPOUND.jpg and http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a333/RhapsodysSteel/frank%20dellapenna%20pics%20not%20mine/HANDGESTURES.jpg

Whoa I think I'm seriously obsessed with Judas at the Opera...it's sooo awesome...repeat repeat!! Haha

( behold! me with kinda short hair )

Today's Latin: ubi possum emere petasum similem isti? (where can I get a hat like that?)

"Someone is out there, he's watching what I do from far in the distance, his eyes everywhere"--"Dethrone Tyranny," Gamma Ray

Judas at the Opera by Edguy is an AWESOME song!!! It's so amusing! I've also listened to Blessing in Disguise (it's alright) and I'm sending Spooks in the Attic to Kathryn now. Edguy is so epic

I'm not even gonna go into how annoying my computer has been...and I was picked up from school way late...but I saw the librarian from McKamy! She remembered and recognized me!! She was so happy to see me and she said she'd tell the other librarian she saw me! Yay!!

I dunno if I'll be online tomorrow cause my partner for my Latin project (her name's Emily) is coming over to work on it with me. Man I'm stressed about it

Today's Latin: auscultate mihi! Ad vos loquor (pay attention! I'm speaking to you)

"Darkness has covered the opera house, something is wrong you can tell"--"Judas at the Opera," Edguy

So my mom and I drove to Ft. Worth and I put in Edguy and turned it up a little and looked out the window a sec...and then suddenly it was turned up really loud and I'm like "...mom??" Then she was headbanging and singing and playing air guitar (while driving!!) and I've never seen her do that before. I think she liked Tears of A Mandrake and Save Us Now the most. We ate at a Mexican restaraunt and I had a virgin margarita...yummy...we sat outside in a beautiful huge courtyard and the temperature was perfect and the food was good...yay! Then we went to mom's work for an hour or so and I got online and listened to music and then we went home

I met Kathryn's friend Rainy (swirly_girly4) yesterday and she's sooo awesome!! Kathryn says she's depressed and all and she said I made Rainy happy which was harder then I think...man I make people happy without even realizing it!
