I took the trash out for the first time in my life today. And I felt like everyone should know.

You've Got a Friend
"When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend"

Need I Say More?
"Call it obsession
Call it fanatical
But I am not trying
To make this a spectical
I have this craving
Justifies behaving
I really need some of that
(Chorus)
Ooo, good coffee
Strong coffee
I need to have some
Ooo, good coffee
Strong coffee
Ooo cappuchino
Double espresso
I need something with
A really big kick
You ask me about creamer
You ask me about sugar
I tell you those things make me sick
With my...
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
OoooooAh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
OoooooAh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
OoooooAh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
OoooooAh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha"

It's Just About Time....
Wow.....I am suppose to be writing a five page essay on the Spiritual Journey of John Proctor in the play The Crucible....but I don't really want to....lol....
School has been crazy busy...but great! I was so stupid this summer. Everyone told me that Junior year was going to be really really tough...and in my ignorance, I didn't believe them. My thought process was, "Well....I am taking a ton of Junior classes this year....so next year will probably be a little smoother, probably not quite as busy." Haha...it's almost amusing...almost...but not quite. Oh well. I am still really enjoying school. Everyday I am filled with the realization that I am a weak vessel in need of God's help. =)
Advanced Biology is absolutely my favorite real class. (I don't think Piano counts as a class....) Mrs. Ellis is the most amazing teacher and my classmates are awesome! We have class at Starbucks.... today Mrs. Ellis treated us all to a drink of our choice. I will confess that the coloring pages get a little tedious, but they are the only homework that I can do while watching tv....so I like them.
My dad took Jesse and I to see Tower of Power on October 14th, and Grace and Janice came. They are simply the most amazing funk band around. (40 years together would probably do that!) Yeah, I can't really find the right words to express how I feel about T.O.P. Basically the song, "Soul with a Capital S" is the first music I ever remember hearing....listening to it with my dad is actually my first memory now that I think of it.
Buy tickets to see Signature in concert on December 16, 2007!!! http://www.purevolume.com/signaturemd
(You can find ticket details under, "Shows." And yes, there isn't any music up currently...but there will be very soon. So keep checking!)
Okay...time to write a paper.......then go on a vacation.....(ugh! I wish)

~School is better than I thought.......
Ahh...the last day of summer. (Like what the calender would say.) I must say this school year has been awesome! I can't wait until it looks like this outside!!! Today after my piano lesson, Anna and I took a back path as we walked to her sister's house to meet up with her mom. Its our favorite to take the backpaths as when the leaves change it is absolutely lovely! Then in November when they are all laying around on the ground, we will get to hear the crisp cruching noises as we walk over them. My glasses will fog up when we reach Jessica's house and soon...her baby will be born!
Hm....I love most of my classes...and tolerate the others. Homework isn't terrible yet, so when I have a smallish amount of homework, I spend my afternoons singing. I have been working on some show tunes...which are hard because I am not skilled enough to accompany myself yet. So it's awkward to stand in front of the piano and have to pluck out the melody lines...and hope I am singing it in the proper time signature and such.....oh well, perhaps one day I'll be good enough at piano...but not yet.
I can't wait until it gets colder. Today I put on my winter coat and walked around outside for a bit. But then I realized it was way to warm to be wearing it. (Though I really, really wanted to.)
Well that's just about it.
