I found your blog by searching NaNoWriMo, and this post made me smile! Too funny! Good luck on your novel – I can’t believe you got 3,000 the first day!

I’m sorry.
One song…something about rain…tears from the sun, tears from a star…has an annoying, melancholy, but special feeling to it, because I had it running through my head for the first three nights of our stay in Arlington, during regionals. But otherwise, I really can’t take him…

*Laughs* Ha, that’s funny and so true. My sister and I are going on a ten day road trip with our grandparents on Sunday, so your list was very fun to read!

Blessings & Love,

!Brilliant!

1 Put the loudest kids in the back-back-back seat. They’ll distract each other.
2 While the loudest kids are distracting each other (loudly), take a moment to enjoy your earbuds.

If you can have find peace in a fifteen passenger van that it carrying loud kids, you’re amazing. Some friends took my brother, Andrew, and I to the Highland Games in Houston this summer, and I was assigned the passenger seat.
Despite the significant distance from the back seat choir, the volume and energy that they emitted as they sang “She’ll be Comin’ Round the Mountain” was so great that I couldn’t think-literally!
Fortunately, we didn’t stop at a drive-through: their were eleven passengers.

7 Don’t let your mom pick the CD unless you want to listen to sermon tapes.
8 On that note, bring plenty of good music.

In my case, it’s my Dad-we listened to Sting (who I can’t stand) all the way to regionals last year. Ugh. And I didn’t have any other music with me.

These rules must be remembered for posterity.

Okay, I’m glad you got it! Life after FASA…hm…I’m still winding down from it, like you. I haven’t really been practicing, because school has already started, and now that I’m in 9th grade, the school has gotten longer and harder. My lessons start in September, so I will really start practicing more then.

Haha, I wrote that one entry about the hobbits when I was very hyper, but all of it was true. Pippin’s great!

I don’t mined passing out food that much. Because I normally charge a fee like taking out a hand full of chips first.
We don’t normally assign seats, but we do say in the seats after we take them but only for 1 or 2 trips not *FOREVER*!

God bless,
Alex

Haha, very good rules, if I do say so myself. Yah, passing out food is a big pain, that’s why I don’t like sitting in the pasaanger seat when we’re going through a drive-thru. I hope you’re having a good week!
Blessings,
Taylor
PS Did you ever get the e-mail I sent you?

Haha! Too funny…we keep a cooler in between those seats too. Hence all the passing-back-and-forth of various food items. And just recently my mom started assigning seats, much to everyone’s dismay. Ah, well.

Aw, your comment totally made my day. Thanks.
