me, i tremble like a hill on a fault line

i really love going to the dollar tree! we all went today and bought school supplies (i have this obsession with office supplies to it was very exciting), a new barbie dancer dress, baskets for the towels under the sink, hairbows and brushes! b/c i lice-i-fied the old ones...stickers and gift bags. we got some soap and such too.

and i did work on the drama club scrapbook today. yes, i'm only halfway done with "You Can't Get There From Here" and the "Evening of Scenes" but...it will get done eventually. and i've really got to pick up the pace on the Scarlet Letter and the AP US History work. ouch.

i talked to Ryan tonight! he's such a cool kid, and i wish he'd realize how valuable he is. we need more people like Ryan! =)

by the way, i saw "Newsies" tonight! it's just about one of the best musicals i've ever seen, ever. i mean really--the dancing is phenomenal, not to mention that both the dancing and multiple-part harmonies are being performed by fairly young guys. check it out: http://homepage.mac.com/jmar/newsies/

here are some lyrics from it...the song is called "Santa Fe"

So that's what they call a family
Mother, daughter, father, son
Guess that everything you heard about is true
So you ain't got any family
Well, who said you needed one?
Ain't ya glad nobody's waitin' up for you?

When I dream
On my own
I'm alone but I ain't lonely
For a dreamer night's the only time of day
When the city's finally sleepin'
All my thoughts begin to stray
And I'm on the train that's bound for Santa Fe
And I'm free
Like the wind
Like I'm gonna live forever
It's a feeling time can never take away
All I need's a few more dollars
And I'm outta here to stay
Dreams come true
Yes, they do
In Santa Fe

Where does it say you gotta live and die here?
Where does it say a guy can't catch a break?
Why should you only take what you're given?
Why should you spend your whole life livin'
Trapped where there ain't no future
Even at seventeen
Breakin' your back for someone else's sake
If the life don't seem to suit ya
How 'bout a change of scene?
Far from the lousy headlines
And the deadlines in between

Santa Fe
Are you there?
Do you swear you won't forget me?
If I found you would you let me come and stay?
I ain't gettin' any younger
And before my dyin' day
I want space
Not just air
Let 'em laugh in my face
I don't care
Save a place
I'll be there

So that's what they call a family
Ain't ya glad you ain't that way?
Ain't ya glad you got a dream called Santa Fe?

have i mentioned what a cool band BarlowGirl is?
