I'm sure it was better than I could do. I have no artistic talent . Most of the time I have trouble understanding what poems mean, other than just what they say on the surface, you know? That's a really powerful poem, especially in the way it's read in that movie. When he said "I thought that love would last forever" I thought of Neutron Star Collision

Oh did I say poems, I meant paintings

At least, I think that's what I'm going to do. Of course I could change my mind by November. Yep, DC! . It'd be a great place, and they have great political and law programs

You have to fill out your personal info and all that, then any activities you do and any community service and stuff, then your SAT/ACT scores and then there are one or two essay questions you have to answer. Then when you send that in, you also send in your school grades and such

Thanks, I feel really good about it! Went a lot better than I was planning. There was a passage about the the Milky Way and it said starlight several times and I underlined it

I think I will

Well hopefully the Canucks win! Having them win and getting to see the game would be so cool! I hope you get to. I saw! Congrats! . Oh I see. Well lucky for you they didn't get Pryor then. Yeah I still have hope though! Yeah, it gets pretty bad. We missed school for 5 days because of snow this winter, and one storm caused us to miss three in a row

Cake and cookies are delicious

That would be so perfect! I really hope it happens

No problem. Well you've almost graduated, so it's understandable! Are you a good painter? I have read that poem before, it's good but you're right, really dark. I'm not really a poetry person but I do really like "The Charge of the Light Brigade" and I like "The Road Not Taken." Very popular poems I know, but it's a start. And speaking of painting, do you have a favorite one?

Yes! Several times I've fallen asleep at the computer and woken up and not realized at all what happened . Grades for our final trimester came out today! I did pretty well . I'm thinking now that I might apply early decision to American University in November, meaning if I get in, I'll have to go there

It would be pretty awesome! No don't worry, it's a class run out of our school for writing essays for college applications

Even though I am free for the most part . I'm not sure, actually. But thinking about you definitely made the test better!

Well I'll try to watch them at some point, I'm sure they're pretty good!

Tell me how it goes! Good luck! ESPN was talking about the CFL today, how Terrel (sp?) Pryor from Ohio State decided he wasn't going to go to the Roughriders (is that a team?), I think. Well I hope the Lions get some of the prospects, if there is no NFL. It was such a good game to watch! Yeah it's really hot . They're not terrible, but there are a few days where the high temp is like 15 and some other days with almost a foot of snow

Yeah it's really sad

I'm sure I'd love it! Oh well, just knowing they won is great. They will, certainly.

Oh awesome! Those are always fun

Don't worry about it! I'm just glad to talk to you . How'd the project go? What was it?

I've always thought about what I look like when I sleep, even if I'm not sleepwalking, so that would be interesting to see. But also a little boring I bet ...unless something exciting happens. That's true, such a good movie. Yes, I'm so exciting. After the ACT tomorrow and my class next week, I'll be totally free from school related stuff at least. Also I forgot to mention on the SAT Subject test of Literature there was a passage on Japanese Canadian immigrants and I thought of you! I want to see the original now

Yes it was. What other stuff does Takeabow19 do?

I think I will

As long as everything goes as it should. Yes! I love the feeling too. It was so exciting last year when the Rams beat the Patriots (one of the best teams in the league) in an exhibition game. We all started to realize then that we might actually have a shot. It's really awful. There are always a few days where it gets to be over 100 though, so we're just waiting for that. Saint Louis gets the extremes of weather

Yep, the third Thursday in November. And what I find odd/sad/dumb about Thanksgiving is that the first Thanksgiving was supposedly a meal between the Pilgrims and the Native Americans, when people were first coming to America. And then look how we treated them

Well if I ever come to Vancouver again, we should watch it! I know how you feel, I was 5 when the Rams won the Super Bowl and I barely remember any of it. I'm really glad you don't. Okay good! And same goes to you. We're doing really now actually

I hope they go well!

It would be pretty funny as long as everyone was fine . So weird to think about, your body doing something without you in control . I know! It was perfect, the way Matt's yelling started right when, for lack of a better phrase, all hell broke loose. Okay! I'll have to watch the original as soon as possible. So many things I should do . I thought it was pretty good, but again I haven't seen the original. It was scary enough I think. Thanks. Really? I'm not so sure

It was pretty good though. I have no idea

I'm not doing much of anything for the ACT though, so I can't quite use that. I guess I could blame work though

I hope it does too! It probably will . That's pretty weird actually. It's so hot in St. Louis right now. It was about 99 and humid today, and it will be for about the next week . We have such temperamental weather. Oh, right, I remember that now!

That sounds like such an amazing playoff run! That would have been so cool (and scary) to have watched live. Oh I feel so bad for that guy . That's so terrible, he probably thinks about it every day now. Thanks for watching it! Just tell me if my videos are annoying you. it was so amazing, such a perfect play

It will, I know it

Oh well, I remembered most of it I think

Yes very very. Me either. Though if it was just something small I might not be able to restrain myself . (I'm terrible ). It is creepy! But I guess since it's the subconscious it's not really you. That's so cool that they used that song . I guess it was pretty good, I just imagine the original is much better. I just watched the Nightmare on Elm Street remake. Have you seen that? Well thanks . I do like them! What do you think of the Hills Have Eyes movies?

Okay here we go... That was pretty funny, but a little....uh....odd

Which is why I think they'll keep doing it for a long long time

Well you have an excuse, you're still in school. I don't have any

Sounds a lot like Sam Bradford! Hopefully they'll both become really good. November is the only month you get snow? Hm, we rarely get snow in November, though we did this year on Thanksgiving, which was really cool

That's the most exciting way to win a game! Or at least, one of the most. This is from the Jets most recent season. It was tied with only 20 seconds left in overtime, and if overtime ends with a tie, the game is a tie (there's no second overtime) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jqYRebZfjk. I'm sure you guys will be able to come back though! I bet not

Well that is good to hear! I hope it all goes well

Nooo I was about halfway through the post and then I accidently clicked back and it all erased . Let's see if I can remember it all again

Sounds like a good life goal . It would be really funny, but a little sad. I think your subconscious would know, because it can walk on its own and stuff. Really? *looks up* SHRINKING UNIVERSE. That's so cool! Someone on the production team must be a big Muse fan, to think of that song. I love Shaun of the Dead but I've only seen the remake of Dawn of the Dead. I've seen none of the other ones . Maybe I can't call myself a fan of horror movies. Can you send me the link?

I'm sure they'll make music for as long as they can, they seem to really enjoy it

Don't worry me either

How good is your quarterback? If theirs is old maybe you guys can become the best team pretty soon. What's the weather like in Vancouver then. That's good he was on your team the whole time! Loyalty . 99! The NFL is only on it's 45th Super Bowl, though before that there were NFL championships, which was for when the AFL and the NFL were too different leagues. Now their two conferences in the same league, except they're the AFC and the NFC. Sorry about the loss, that must've been a tough one . That's so cool though! Especially that the pizza company changed it's name

Thank you!

Well good luck with all those! I'm sure you'll do really well. Hopefully you're feeling less stressed now, because it's almost over

If only you had! . I just worry that if I do it I might trip or fall or something. And that would be really bad, especially since there's no way to control it. 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later are two of my favorite horror movies . Off the top of my head I can't think of any other really good horror movies, actually. I love them too. I should watch Blair Witch Project, I've heard a lot about it. I've seen a few of them, they're pretty funny

I wonder how long they're going to be making music for. I hope it is a really long time. I can't imagine them being old though

So am I, which is why I think I should reread at least part of the book

Oh wow! Are they going to be just as good again this year? I would be very happy for you. You said the Grey Cup is in November? 25 years! Wow. When did the CFL start? I didn't get to watch any of it , but I will try to next game. I'm sure it'll be more and more

Nope, you're right, it's Saturday

Oh you're pretty close! So after that are you going to have exams everyday, or just some days? And will you be trying for a scholarship?

I wonder how/why it happens. Horror movies tend to be funnier than scarier sometimes, I think it just depends on what mood you're in when you decide to watch them. I've never seen the Blair Witch Project, but from what I've heard it sounds pretty good

Thank you

Yes that's true for sure, I think. And Muse are one of the greats bands and will continue to be

Ah well, I'm sure I've forgotten some things too

Oh that's good to hear! Glad it's doing well. Yeah, I see what you mean. Who would you say is the best team, at least in recent years? I hope the Canucks win also! That would be a great year for Vancouver, if the Lions and the Canucks won

I think he will play at least for a few more years. Congratulations! I'm so glad that they've won again. Well I'm sure you still had a good time. Whoa that's incredible

My mistake, I just looked it up and it was approximately 111 million viewers, with 162 million watching at least part of the game. Still, a huge amount of people

Well I guess that's good then

I am very close, finally. When does school end for you, again?

That would make more sense, I think. Yes true, I could have done it some other time without knowing. That's kind of scary to think about. Good point! Ah, Paranormal Activity. That movie made me laugh a lot. It was kind of scary though

I think I can do that

Yeah that's true. They wouldn't be Muse without any of them, if that makes sense

I would do everything I could to watch it

I remembered it then though

Oh I see. That must've been a hard loss for the CFL. Glad it's still going strong though. Oh wow! Are they the best team in the CFL? That sounds like a pretty good resume. Well that seems like a good omen. I hope it works it out that way

Yep, he is. He's on the Colts now, and is still just as good. Quite an incredible player, really. I hope so! They won! . Did you get to go?

I see what you're saying. I think over 150 million people watched the Super Bowl this year, so that should show it

. Hopefully no one gave you any weird stares .

You're welcome

I think it'll go pretty well, and yes all that studying will help I bet

I've sleepwalked once (or is it sleptwalked?). I was maybe 8 and we were on vacation and I stood up, took all the sheets off the bed and laid back down on the floor . That was the only time I think

I will! It'll be interesting trying to get them home though

Yes it would! Poor Dom though. He can't sing, doesn't play any other instruments and doesn't contribute much to the writing of the music, as far as I know

That's true, I just hope it wouldn't be during school. Though I would leave class to watch Muse

I totally forgot that as well, until I asked someone about it after the movie. I probably should

I had no idea that CFL teams were in America! And so recently too. Why'd they leave? Is that the most recent time the Lions won? That's really cool. Yeah, it was. Adam Vinatieri. One of the best kickers in the NFL. He also hit a game winning field goal in the 2003/2004 Super Bowl. He also holds the records for most field goals in a Super Bowl for one's career and most field goals in the playoffs for one's career. Very soon . Whoa that'd be great! I hope you get to. It'd be so much fun with all those other people there too

Is your brother a big athlete? Football is so huge in America, it's kind of ridiculous

That's so awesome though, I was smiling like an idiot at my computer screen when I read that . It makes me so happy. I know!

It's alright! I know you've been busy

Thank you, so am I. I'm not as stressed about the ACT though. I'm not going to spend that much time preparing for it

That would be very interesting, though. I can see why you'd have wanted to do that. Really? That's so weird. I wonder if that's common. . Do you sleepwalk a lot?

Hm, good point. Potential flaw in the plan

I hope so

It did. I also figured Starlight would be something for the casual fan while Glorious would make all of us go absolutely crazy. I always picture that too! Glorious is such a good song . I wonder what time they'd do it at

I think so too. I totally forgot that . Maybe I should read the book again before the movie comes out

But at least it would be something. And I'd have a team to root for too. It was on a last second field goal, which made it a lot worse. A 47 yarder, if I recall correctly. We'll be back though . It is really cool! Oh awesome. I'm excited for the game tonight!

My sister plays lacrosse, and I've seen a few of her games and they're entertaining enough, but I can't see it becoming too big of a spectator sport. I hope so too. Maybe Tampa Bay. Rugby is not big in America at all

Yay!

Oh my gosh congratulations! That's so awesome to hear! I bet you were so happy . And that's awesome too! . I'm so happy for you

I took the SAT Subject Tests today in Math, History and Literature. Lit was hard, math was okay and history was pretty alrightish (). So hopefully I did well on those!

Okay good! Thanks

I totally agree. It's really cool. I don't feel physical pain in my dreams, but I certainly feel emotional pain. Do you?

I'll get more somehow! Ah, I see

Hm. Well I don't know where they got that from then. It doesn't sound that different from anything else though, so I guess that makes sense

That makes sense! Thank you. Well they better have everything ready too go then! I think they should play Starlight and Glorious in space, as those would be pretty fitting. And I love them . I guess they'd film it an air it here? It's great that it's so interested

20 million a seat!? Goodness. So that's 80 million just for Matt, Chris, Dom and Morgan, and then with all their equipment and stuff. That'd be ridiculous

He is a hero! And I'm sure they'll include that, as everyone in the audience would live it. I can see that. He shows a lot of sympathy in the seventh when Voldemort is torturing that one teacher at the Malfoy mansion

I think it'd be sensible for the networks to air them, as people will want to watch some football. It was an amazing game. Yeah, that Super bowl was a bummer . I have the same birthday as my mom, so it was a present for both of us. Oh wow that's really expensive . Hopefully I'll get to watch some of it again! Yes that looked like a really tough game

Yeah, salary caps for rookies are one thing causing the lock out. I hope so too! I don't even know if there is a professional lacrosse league in the US. It is getting bigger though

Great timing! I'm glad you got it!

Don't worry about it! Have fun, I'll talk to you soon

Okay I won't, thanks. I just didn't want you to see that I had been online and hadn't responded and think that I was ignoring you or something

Yeah it was really pretty bad

My sister got a bunch of posters of Eminem for her birthday. Now she has more Eminem posters than I have Muse posters. This cannot be. Anyway, she is my only sibling. Do you have any others?

We'll just have to see I guess . Several people on the board mentioned it, but I don't know how to find out if it's true or not

Oh wow. Why would they only be able to be up there for 6 minutes? I'm sorry that I know absolutely nothing about this. That's so cool that you have it all figured out though

I'm glad!

That was so sad. But the scene before where he goes "Dobby never meant to kill, Dobby only wanted to maim or...seriously injure" is so awesome! I was pretty sad when he died though . I wish they had done that too, that was a good touch in the book. I understand why Snape, Draco I'm no so sure about

They'd hopefully air them on Sundays, because then I would get to watch. I went to the NFC Championship Game (basically the semi-finals) when the Rams were in it during the 2001/2002 season. It was on my birthday so my parents took me as a birthday present and it was so much fun! So loud, you're right. Probably my favorite birthday present . Are you going to any of the Stanley Cup games? I was able to watch some tonight and they won! :happy:

Alright, I'll be sure to keep that in mind

There are some ridiculous contracts in the NFL. The Rams gave Sam Bradford a 10 million dollar a year deal for 5 or 6 years before he had ever played a game! He's going to be great, but it's really over the top. I've only been to one Jets game in New York, it was great though. NFL is the most popular in America, then MLB then NBA and then NHL

I'm glad I could help! That's awesome that you got it right. I bet your team was surprised that you knew that. That sounds like a fun club too!

I liked it

Sorry it's so late getting back to you. I could only be on for a bit earlier and I didn't have time to reply

. I also had a really sad one about Muse. It was short but basically I was watching the news and they reported that Chris had died . I have no idea why I dreamed that

Well that makes me feel better. She's also 15. Quite the coincidence

That'd be really cool! I think he might just be dismissing it so people don't start freaking out. I think he might be writing a couple of songs, like you said. Someone on the board said he wrote Easily. Not sure if that's true or not, but Easily is pretty awesome . I wonder how playing in space would work, exactly. You'd probably have a better idea than me, since you like physics so much

Dom is more talented than he get credit for, I think. I never listen to the remixes either, but Popcorn is good and Prague isn't as bad as everyone says

I really like Dobby and I think the movies did a great job of portraying the Dersleys. What about you?

If it does happen, maybe they'll air CFL here! What day of the week are CFL games? I'd be rooting for the Lions! I hope you get to go. That'd be so much fun, especially if the Lions were in it

Oh, I didn't know the rosters had to be half Canadian. Also maybe money draws some players to the NFL, not just because of salaries, but also endorsements and stuff like that. And because football is bigger in America, I think
