The World Falls Down “I’ll paint the sky a pretty picture,” he said,
“All the shades of red in the world.”
“All of the blood in the world,” she said,
“Let it rain on down,
Let it hit the ground,
And stain the world.
Let the blood fall down.”
Standing here,
So alone and isolated,
I look through my looking glass,
And I,
Watch the world go by;
Watch the people fall and die;
Watch the sons fill with pride;
Watch the daughters scream and cry.
Standing here,
So alone and isolated,
I look through my looking glass,
And I,
Watch the world fall down;
The world falls down.
A noise in the distance,
An individual that’s inconsistence;
So little insignificance.
A baby cries out loud
And a mother falls to her knees,
And her tears rain down
Onto the cold, hard ground.
Their smiles are fading.
A tragic past that won’t leave
That causes their hearts to bleed,
And they fall down;
They fall down.
I look through my looking glass,
And I (and I),
Watch the world go by (the world goes by);
Watch the people fall and die (oh, they fall an die);
Watch the sons fill with pride (so much pride);
Watch the daughters scream and cry (they scream and cry).
Standing here,
So alone and isolated,
I look through my looking glass,
And I,
Watch the world fall down (look at it fall);
The world falls down (so far down).
*guitar and keyboard solo*
Look at him standing there,
He’s all along.
His face made of stone
As he raises the gun,
And he lets his tears fall down.
He can’t take it anymore,
So he stares into the barrel of their hate.
A loud bang and he hits the floor.
Now at the funeral,
They all stood around that black coffin,
And they couldn’t take it anymore,
And they let their tears fall down
Onto the cold, hard ground.
Their hearts fill with guilt,
As they laid the coffin
Into the ground.
All of their minds are on
The letter he wrote;
“Wouldn’t it be funny
If the world did the same?
Wouldn’t it be ironic
If the world fell down?”
I look through my looking glass,
And I (And I, And I, And I),
I watch the world go by (the world went flyin’);
I watch the people fall and die (they fell so hard);
I watch the sons fill with pride (it overflowed like a waterfall);
I watch the daughters scream and cry (they screamed so loud);
Now I’m standing here,
Looking through my looking glass
And I watch the world fall down;
The world falls (the world falls) down.
Oh, I look through that lookin’ glass
And everything’s a mess.
The world is cryin’,
Dyin’,
Bleedin’,
Screamin’,
Fallin’;,
Oh, the world is fallin’ down!
So far down,
That is becomes untouchable.
*music softens and slowly fades away*
Now I’m standing here,
Looking through my looking glass
And I watch the world fall down.
The world falls down.
This is a song (or poem, whatever you see it as) that I wrote. It's been playing over in my head and I finally got it down on paper. I'm fairly proud of this one. Please leave me some type of feedback on it.
Anyway, how is everyone? I hope you all enjoyed you're weekend!
Hello everyone!
How is everyone doing on this fine September day? I hope everything is going well for you all and I also hope that you all are enjoying yourselves. lol (I'm in a cherry mood today, aren't I.)
Anyway, nothing has really happened over the week. I basically get up, go to school, sit through eight hours of torture (it is eight hours right?), come home to do more work because my teachers are mean and give us too much homework, and then I watch television or listen to some music. Other than that, there really isn't anything to report. lol
Today, however, I had to take a vocabulary quiz and a advanced chemistry test. I think I did okay on the vocabulary quiz because my teacher will give us and break, which means that we can miss three and still get a hundred. My English teacher is really cool and I gave her the nickname of Viking Barbie. lol You got to love her, she's so cool. Anyway, my chemistry test was fairly easy. The one thing that worries me the most is the converting equations. Don't get me wrong, it was simple but I still haven't mastered converting with the correct number of significant figures..... (Can you even understand what I'm saying..... I don't. lol) Anyway, I'm pretty confindint that I passed with at least a 'B', even if it is a low one.
On the other note, we had police come into our school and check everyone's lockers. It was funny because after they were finished with checking them, four people, three guys and one girl, were called down to the office. I was ready to crack up because everyone in my class went, "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...." like the kindergardeners do when someone gets into trouble. It was great. lol
Well, I'm going to end my post now. So later!

Hola everyone!
How are all of you? I hope everything has gone the way you wanted it to. I'm sorry if it hasn't.
Well, during the week there isn't much to talk about. I had quite a few quizzes to take that I hopefully past with at least a 'C'. I normally do a pretty good job but on one of my History quizzes that was worth 60 points, I got a 49.... or a 'C' if you will. *sigh* He makes it so hard to get a decent grade. Plus his tests are timed and I am a SLOW test taker.
Anway, I'm suppose to be memorizing my monologue for Theatre 3, but I really don't have the energy to do so. Anyway, I have most of it memorized. I think there are only one or two lines that I forget and it's not that hard. It's from the movie Deep Blue Sea, a movie about very intellegant sharks that attack the humans. It isn't that bad of a movie, an older one, but still could none the less.
Well, I have been sick now for almost a week. My stupid little brother got my mom and me sick and I have been miserable ever since. *shakes fists* Stupid little punk. I hope you learn to sleep with your eyes open! lol No really, I mean he better learn to sleep with his eyes open..... Although that would be a little freaky. You know, walking into a room and someone is lying on couch or bed or something like that and their eyes are open but there not focused on anything. That would be just a little disurbing. Anyway, I'm getting off topic and I apologzie for that.
I asked my dad if he could take my friend and me to the mall to go shopping for a dress to wear to homecomming. Although it seems a little early to have one, we are. Jefferson High School is having their homecomming on Saturday, September 30, 2006. Really early in the year, but who cares. lol I normally wouldn't go, but since all of my friends are going, I thought, "What the hell," and decided to join them. Although I despise the thought of having to wear a dress..... I hate dresses..... or skirts for that matter. I normally wear jeans and a shirt.... Wooo, my style is tomboy to the core. lol
Well, that's all I really have to say at the moment. I wish you all well. Later.
A Poem I Wrote Earlier Today:
Eien no Matsu Koto
I was the teacher,
The virgin heart,
And you were my savior,
My brightest light.
Out of all the children that I called my own,
Your were my favorite,
You were my own,
You were my child of wisdom.
I taught you everything I knew,
I think the other children were jealous of you.
I often saw you after school,
Under the oak tree down by the river,
A smile upon your lips as deadly as a sinner.
Your warm brown eyes spotted me,
And you jumped up to greet me.
You would bow a little,
And say “Mornin’ Ma’am.”
I would smile,
And curtsey just for you.
When you stood, your eyes filled with sorrow,
You said you had to leave tomorrow.
A frown creased my features,
And tears welled in my eyes,
But I refused to cry.
You told me that you would never forget me,
And I told you that I loved you,
And you told me the same.
I took you into my arms,
Your head resting on my bosom.
We vowed that this wasn’t good-bye,
And that you would come to say hi.
You let me go,
With a sob of your own,
You wiped your warm brown eyes,
And left with a wave of good-bye.
Now I sit in my rocking chair,
Trying to stop the tears,
The cold metal in my right hand,
Will stop the pain in my heart,
And sorrow and loneliness,
That I have felt since you left me.
I wrote you a letter last month,
I don’t know if you ever got it,
And I can’t help but wonder,
If you even care.
A depressing smile lights my face,
And I raise the metal to my head,
I clenched my hand and pulled the trigger.
A loud bang echoes of the empty walls,
And into darkness do I fall.
Yet before I go,
I hear your voice call out to me.
A smile graces my lips,
As I end all the years of my life,
All twenty-three.
It's a poem for a project that's due on Monday.

PENTAGON -- A solemn marker outside the Pentagon conveys a simple message: "We will never forget."
And Saturday, more than a thousand people came to pay their respects to the 184 people who perished at the Pentagon on 9/11.
Walking tours begin where a hijacked plane slammed into the building's southwest wall. Reconstruction has made the impact point impossible to detect. But there is a stone charred by burning jet fuel that reads "September 11, 2001." A majestic American flag hangs on the building's side.
The tour then continues inside to a chapel and memorial.
The memorial room is simple. The words "America's Heroes" separate black panels that contain the names of all who died in the attack. The adjacent chapel contains stained-glass windows, and 184 rose chips encircling the flag, an eagle and the Pentagon. The rose chips represent each victim of the attack.
Just outside the building, a 2-acre memorial park is under construction.
Healing Field Marks Anniversary
Volunteers have placed thousands of American flags in a field in Ohio to pay tribute to soldiers, firefighters and others on the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
By Sunday morning, more than 2,600 flags were waving atop 8-foot-high flagpoles at Maria Stein Spiritual Center, which is about 60 miles north of Dayton.
Five hundred more flags lined the highway leading to the so-called "healing field."
The woman who spearheaded the project says the parents of soldier Matt Maupin came to the field today. Maupin has been missing in Iraq since 2004, when his fuel truck convoy was ambushed by insurgents.
Ohio's healing field is patterned after similar efforts around the country.

Title: Many Prepare for 9/11 Tributes
Author: By Brian MacQuarrie, Globe Staff
From town greens to churches to the State House, the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks will be marked with subdued ceremonies that reflect quietly on lost lives and new vulnerabilities.
In Boston, Governor Mitt Romney will gather Monday with families of many of the state's 92 victims. At Trinity Church in Copley Square, singers and musicians will perform through much of Monday for those seeking a refuge for contemplation. And in Dracut, where American Airlines Flight 11 pilot John Ogonowski owned a farm, a remembrance ceremony tomorrow will begin the town's sixth annual Old Home Day.
In Taunton, a statue honoring native son Peter A. Gay and other victims will be dedicated Sunday in a city park.
In Lawrence, a refurbished mural that depicts the heroism of New York City firefighters will be unveiled Monday. And at the September 11 Memorial Garden in Sudbury, a community with ties to three victims of the attacks, church bells will toll at 8:46 a.m. Monday, when Flight 11 struck the World Trade Center.
The pain and the memories are still fresh for Stephanie Holland-Brodney, 35, of Wayland, whose mother, a Sudbury resident, was on Flight 11, the first of the hijacked planes to strike the World Trade Center.
``It's just sort of a nightmare that never ends," Holland-Brodney said of the death of her mother, Cora Holland, 52. ``I think so many people are starting to forget how terrible we felt that day, that I think people need to be reminded of the enormity of it."
Holland-Brodney said she will travel to the State House to attend an annual ceremony in which a flag will be lowered and the names of the Massachusetts victims will be read.
Later, a private luncheon for the families will be held at the Park Plaza, where the relatives can be with others who understand and share their pain.
``I want to remember my mom, and not the way that she died, but it's so hard to split those two," Holland-Brodney said.
Her 5-year-old daughter, Amelia, who began kindergarten yesterday, is a daily reminder of the passage of time since that tragic day five years ago, Holland-Brodney said.
Some Massachusetts residents will travel to New York City for services at Ground Zero on Monday, including Suzanne Tinley, 49, of Wellesley, who lost her brother Michael Tinley, 56, of Dallas, who was attending a business meeting on the 100th floor of the World Trade Center.
Tinley, a former New York resident who watched the World Trade Center burn from her apartment windows, attended the New York memorial service alone last year.
This year, she will bring her brother's two adult daughters, as well as her sister .
``The pain of the day cannot be forgotten, and we need to share the memories together," Tinley said. ``That's where my children were born, that was my neighborhood . . . and my brother is still there."
In Boston, Mayor Thomas M. Menino will attend a private wreath-laying ceremony Monday with some victims' families in the Public Garden. The city has no official commemoration scheduled.
Other 9/11 activities include a plan to fly the American flag tomorrow from each of the 48 New Hampshire peaks over 4,000 feet. From today to Sunday, the widows of two victims of the attacks, Susan Retik of Needham and Patti Quigley of Wellesley, will lead a cycling fund-raiser from Ground Zero to Wellesley. And on Sunday, the Muslim American Society will host an interfaith gathering at the Cambridge mosque of the Islamic Society of Boston.
In Taunton, Peter B. Gay, 91, is reminded daily of his son, who died on Flight 11, when he walks by a photograph in his home.
Gay raised most of the $15,000 cost of the city's memorial, which will consist of an American bald eagle set on a pedestal and a plaque. Contractors have donated time, labor, and materials.
To Gay, the memorial will serve its purpose if, when the public passes, "they realize our time is limited on earth and remember what happened here -- not necessarily the evil and anger -- and try to make the world change."

Hola everyone! How are you all doing? Thanks for the comments and I want to thank you for liking my theme. I'm going to change it here in the minute for my September 11 tribute, but don't worry, I shall have it up again as soon as I can. lol
Well, school has gotten a tad bit better. I didn't have as much homework tonight as I normally do, but I still had homework. >_< I swear that the teachrs in my school love to give out homework... which really, really sucks because I have better things to do on my weekend then to do homework. I did finish most of it however, so I basically have nothing more to do. *dances*
My parents decided to go to the Mountain Party again this year. *jumps for joy* Now I won't have to be bored this weekend! My brother opted to stay home and he's having a friend of his (and mine) over for the night to keep him company. lol Seems like little brother is afraid of the dark. lol Anyway, we leave tomorrow morning, bright and early. I get to sleep in my dad's van, while my parents sleep in the tent on air matresses. I think my cousin is going to be there, so I won't be irritated by the stupid little kids that follow you around all day. It gets old after a while.
Anyway, I wanted to put up my tribute to September 11 a little early. I hope you all don't mind too much. I will take it down after the date has passed though.
Well, that's all there really is to say! Adios!

Hola, everone.
Buenos tardes ustedes. Which means: Good evening everyone..... Well, if I actually got it right and my translation is correct. lol I'm trying out what I have learned in Spanish because I'm suppose to be practicing it at the moment, but I'm so tired and I just want to sleep.
Anyway, I know I have been on for a while and I also haven't been to anyone's sites in a while also. I really do apologize for it, but I have been so busy with school and everything. Even though it's only the third day (technically speaking) for me, I have had tones of homework. Like yesturday, I had homework in 5 out of the 7 classes and today I have homework in 4 out of 7 classes. Most of it is studying but I'm so tired. I go to bed at 10:30 so I don't see why I'm so tired. I get somewhere are 7 to 7 and a half hours of sleep. Sometimes I got to bed at 9 or 9:30 and still wake up exhausted. >_< School is really taking something out of me.
Well, I haven't done much over the days. My school is alright aside from the fact that most of my friends eat on different lunch shifts. The only people I know on my lunch is Spanka, (don't ask.... it is her last name though.) McCaleah, (I have NO idea on how to spell her name....) Oliva, Lindsey, Herb, Adam, and Courtney. That's all I know, the rest I have no idea who they are and most of them are sophomores..... Not my friends, the rest of the people. *dies* It's so not fair!!!!!!!
Anyway, I might not be here on the weekend... My family isn't too sure yet. We're suppose to go to a Mountain Party for the weekend, but because we went school shopping and everything like that, money is tight around here. *Cries* I was looking forward to that too. If we don't go, it's going to be like all of the other weekends and I'm getting really tired of just sitting at home with nothing to do. It irks me really, really, really badly. I just want to kill my parents sometimes. *Screams* Ahhh.... I feel much better.
Well, that's all I really have to say. I guess I'll see you all later.

Later, TwistedNightmare!
P.S. I have used up all of my PM's please don't try to PM me. Lo Siento... I'm sorry!
I'm generally happy today
Well for starters, how is everyone today? I hope you all had a fine day at school and that everythign is going the way you have planned.
Now then, I got lucky today because the tropical depression has made it's way up the coast line and is now dumping rain over the east panhandle. Due to the fact that my state is suppose to get 5 to 10 inches of rain and strong wind, the governer decided last night to close Jefferson High School. ^_^ NO SCHOOL!!!!!!! Already.... lol I only went for one day and now it was closed. One reason he/she closed it is because a lot of students live on the mountain and it is extremely dangerous to drive the mountain roads in the rain. Trust me, I know this first hand thanks to my dad.... o_O Anyway, that's pretty much all the good news for the day. lol
Yesturday was my first day of school. ^_^ It went pretty well but my school is even more crowded than it was last year. We have 100+ students than we did last year and because of that, we do NOT have enough desks or books. There are classes in my school that have to sit on the ground. X_X TOO MANY PEOPLE!!!!!!!! At least they widden the back hallways. (Thank god!) That's the way I normally travel in order to miss the huge crowd of people.
Well, my clsses are awesome and the teachers I got seem nice enough. I think there is only one class I have that doesn't have any of my friends in it. Oh well.... Even though the classes that I do have friends in, there are seating charts that put us in alphabetical order.... >_< I'm always the first or second person so it really sucks. lol
Well, that's pretty much all I have to say. So later.
Word of the Day: phantasmagoria (noun) [fan-taz'-mah-GORE-ee-ah]

Hey everyone!
Well, I hope you're weekend have gone the way you planned them and I'm sorry if your weekend didn't go so well. My didn't either if your wondering.
Well, yesturday was another lazy day for me. I was basically preparing myself for back to school on Thursday. Originally, I was suppose to start school on Monday, but our school in under major construction and the opening date was pushed back because it isn't ready to be opened. *dances* YES! Don't get me wrong, I really want to see my friends but I'm not ready for my school yet. Our school (since it's the only one in Jefferson County) is extremely over crowded. It was made for like a thousand students or something like that, but our school as somewhere between 2-3 thousands students attending it. *Sigh* I hate it because the hallways are crowded and there aren't enough lockers. I might not even get one this year.
Anyway, today I was suppose to go to the mall to do some school clothes shopping but my dad decided to do yard work instead. It's fine by me but I am disappointed; I was really looking forward to it all weekend. Well, our yard needs it. Our backyard looks like the New Mexico desert. lol It's nothing but weeds and large patches of dirt; it's been that way ever since we had the pool put in. Our front yard isn't much better. It was nice until we had a month and a half of asbsoutely no rain. *looks at yard* You poor, poor thing. lol
OH!!!!!!! We had the coolest thunderstorm last night. The lightning was amazing and the thunder was strong enough to shake the house. Just so you know, I love thunderstorms! I sit out on the porch and watching the lightning and listen to the thunder. It's one of my favorite past-times. lol Anyway, a lightning bolt came out of the sky and strunk right across the street from us. I was inside at the moment and all I heard was a LOUD zapping noise, you know, the sound that your fan makes when you plug it in and it's on. My dad was on the porch smoking when he saw it. We thought he was struck by lightning but he was okay. Thank god! Anyway, the storm went away but a few hours later it had circled back around for another go. We almost lost power that time. I knew it was bad the moment it came because all of the birds were flying west.... away from here. o_O Always watch the birds, they know what's coming.
Anyway, that's all I really have to say. So for now, I'll see you all later.

Quote of the Day: "There are three rules for writing the novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are." -W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965).
Hey everyone!
How the heck are you all? I hope you all are enjoying your weekend. If not.... then I have more cookies if you like.
Well, nothing much has happened over the week. I had to vaccum yesturday and get the house in shape because it was dirty when we got back from the beach. lol Maybe we should have vaccumed on Thursday before we left for the beach. Oh well, no real harm done.
My mom took my brother and me to the Martinsburg Mall today. Woot! It's not a very big mall but I got what I wanted... Well, sorta. I bought a new cd from Fye. It's from Disturbed one of my all time fav bands! lol I like that type of music. I also wanted the new Evanescence cd but they didn't have it. T_T I guess I have to put more money on my Wal-Mart music card. Anyway, I also went to Walden's Bookstore and bought two yaoi novels called Only The Ring Finger Knows. It's an actual novel so I'm proud of myself. lol I got to novels instead of 4 mangas. Though I had originally went in there for volume 10 & 11 of Fruits Basket and volume 8 & 9 of Angel Sancuary, as well as for the Hellsing manga, but they didn't have volume 10 or 8. I hate skipping volumes so I'm going to wait and go to a bigger bookstore to find what I need. lol
Anyway, I also went to Debs and bought a new pair of jeans and two new shirts. I really need new clothing for school because I don't have much that fits me anymore. *tear* The my new clothing is cute and girly.... So not my style...... But I like it non the less.
Anyway, that's all I did today. I just finished watching Armageddon so I thought I would come update. Well, I guess I'll talk to you all later.

Quote of the Day: " I address you tonight not as the President of the United States, not as a leader of a country, but as a citizen of humanity. We are faced with the very gravest of challenges. The Bible calls this day 'Armageddon' - the end of all things. And yet, for the first time in the history of the planet, a species has the technology to prevent its own extinction. All of you praying with us tonight need to know that everything that can be done to prevent this disaster is being called into service. The human thirst for excellence, knowledge; every step up the ladder of science; every adventurous reach into space; all of our combined technologies and imaginations; even the wars that we've fought have provided us the tools to wage this terrible battle. Through all of the chaos that is our history; through all of the wrong and the discord; through all of the pain and he suffering; through all of our times, there is one thing that has nourished our souls, and elevated our species above its origins, and that is our courage. The dreams of an entire planet are focused tonight on those fourteen brave souls traveling into the heavens. And may we, citizens the world over, see these events through. God speed, and good luck to you." -President (Armageddon)

No picture of the day or picture for current mood because photobucket is down and I don't want to suffer the web for a good picture! Sorry!
I'm back!
Hey everyone. Long time no see, huh? It's good to be back and I hope you all enjoyed your weekend.
Well, the vavcation was long and it was relaxing. I had a wonderful time. I must say that I missed reading how everyone's days have been going. *throws sea shells* I don't have any cookies..... or anything for that matter, but here are some sea shells from Ocean City. lol
Thursaday: All I basically did was wake up and quickly pack my things for the beach. I got on the computer for a few minuets to check something on another site and then got off. I watered the plants before we left and helped load my mom's car. (Let me tell you, taking a Dodge Magnum to the beach isn't a very good idea. I mean, yeah we got it loaded, but it took us twenty minuets of playing around with things until it all fit. *sigh*) Anyway, we pciked up my mom at her work and left for the beach. When we arrived four hours later, we had dinner and walked the board walk. That's basically all we did.
Friday: We went out to the beach for a few hours. The waves had been awesome and the they came one right after another. Though we did get the lifeguard on our case because we had apparently went out to far..... SO DID EVERYONE ELSE ON THE BEACH AND WE WERE THE ONES TO GET CALLED BACK!!!!! *glares* Stupid lifeguard. He barely paid attention to the people in the water. He was too busy talking to his family who sat right next the him. *snarls* He just didn't want to get wet. -_- *mumbles* Asshole.
Anyway, we were out on the beach for two hours, then went and got dinner at one of the resturants that were on the board walk. Their food was alright, nothing special. The seats were uncomfortable and too close to the other people. It was hard to walk through. After we finished, we once again walked the board walk. Around 11, I came in with my parents and we watched the idiots on the board walk. lol I love people watching.
Saturday: Once more, we went out to the beach only this time, we had to wait until high tide for some really good waves. My dad body surfed with me because my little brother went back into the hotel room about ten minuets after we had just got on the beach. For some reason, he had an attitude. Anyway, we stayed out on the beach for about 4 1/2 to 5 hours. o_O That was a lot of swimming. Anyway, we went to Hooters (Yay, Hooters!!) and had dinner. After that, we went and rode gokarts for two hours before we went back to the hotel. My parents went to a bar and I went down to the little carnival at the end of the boardwalk. I rode one ride and then came back. My feet were killing me. That, and I didn't have any comfortable shoes. I sat and people watched with a cup of Dipn' Dots..... Yum!
Sunday: We debated on coming back and then going to Paramount King's Diminion. After long debating, we decided that we would. (YES!) lol Anyway, my dad and my younger brother went to the beach while I stayed in the room because my sun burn was killing me. My mom got ready which takes her about two hours because of her hair. O_O lol We packed up and left. That's all we really did.
Monday: We got up really early and left for King's Diminion. My younger brother stayed behind because he won't ride anything. The loser. Well, we rode every single roller coaster in the park along with Drop Zone!
Drop Zone:
It was a blast. We had gotten there around 12 and didn't leave until the park closed, which was at eight. We rode the Valcano twice, which happens to be on of my favs! It's a hanging roller coaster, that's why!
Valcano:
The most exciting ride that we got on was called Hyper Sonic XLC. We waited in line for nearly twenty minuets to ride this baby. It was fast, really fast. The ride only lasted 4 to 5 seconds.... SECONDS!!!!! O_O It was worth it, though. The only thing that got you over the hill was the take off and that is it. There was no chain to pull you up over the big ass hill. ^_^ The fastest roller coaster in the park. The drop was almost as tall as the Drop Zone but no quite there yet. OMG! It was so much fun, and if you ever go to King's Diminion, you HAVE to ride it. Though, you really should be a MAJOR thrill seeker like I am. One reason why, the roller coaster goes from 0 to 80 in 1.8 seconds.....
HyperSonic XLC:
Well, I bought two shirts and then we came home. That's pretty much how my day went. We stopped at Pizza Hut for dinner and then came home. I had a awesome time and I wish I could have take you all. *Sniffles* Though, I hoped you all had as much fun as I did.
