Here's the video for the amazing petition setup by Peta. Watch, educate yourself. Rise Against's new tour for Appeal To Reason is all about Meat's Not Green. Do it for yourself, the planet, the animals, and Tim McIlrath's blue eye. I have no idea what that has to do with it, but still, watch the video. Learn. See what you can do to help our future.
Yay! We're here, in October. The air flows cool, the colours grow warm, the scents are of gourdes... It's a good time! It's also Cut Out Dissectionmonth. You can download the calender and other helpful tips to help make our schools more animal friendly here.
Today I had my first dance evaluation. I don't get to find out how well- or not well- I'm doing until my first report card though. I feel pretty good about it though, especially for not having any prior experience. Drama class was fun today. I danced a lot, laughed a lot, kicked Rebecca a lot. It was good! You have no idea how one cup of coffee first thing in the morning can make my day so much better!
Sara, I have to let you know that my wonderful mother has already pre-ordered our copy of Appeal To Reason. And there is still no way that this Oscar kid is more obsessed than Rise Against than I am. Did he fly to San Fransisco, California, USA to see them in a fabulous concert where they played a gorgeous Swing Life Away as the encore? No. I didn't think so. Alicia, if you'd like I can burn The Sufferer and The Witness next time you come over to my house. When you give me that awesome friends DVD you made me.
You all better love the movie Stardust. Well, if you've read the original book of it, you should know that the author is Neil Gaiman. His, The Graveyard Book just came out, and here is a fantastic video of poetry reading he read. It's instructions on what to do if you fall into a fairy tale. It's very good advice people. Listen closely.
Sara, I pray too for your Nonno. I know what having a Nonno in the hospital is like. And Jeanette, for your massive homework load. Not that I don't have my own.
I loved the video. I love his eyes. Speaking of Rise Against, Emma, could I at some point borrow the album The Sufferer And The Witness? I want to copy it, I love Roadside. It's just Fawesome. I'll stop stealing your word now Emma.
Other than that, I don't have much to say. Emma, I will send you the soundtrack to the commercial. Let me know if you want it, for anyone else!
I felt that I should acknowledge the last day of September; our last day of the first month of high school. Wow.
That's an awesome commercial Alicia- I've seen it before, but you're right about the fact we can't watch it too many times. I'd love to have that song too.
OCTOBER 7! Rise Against's new album Appeal To Reason comes out! Sara I know you're excited. EVERYONE should watch this FAWESOME video. Listen to the lyrics, know what it's about. They're such a proactive band. The single is called Re-education (Through Labor).
How fawesome is that? Like my new word? FAWESOME? It's totally fool. Yeah. I just finished reading The Last Days. End of September room cleanup today. I better get on that soon. Yikes!

"All because of you, I believe in angels. Not the kind with wings, no not the kind with halos. The kind that brings you home, when home becomes a strange place. I'll follow your voice, all you have to do is shout it out."
-Rise Against
"I want to be an angst-ridden teenager who can't confront his own inner demons and takes it out verbally on other people instead."
-Jace in City of Ashes (Cassandra Clare)
"I know more damn perverts, at schools and all, than anybody you ever met, and they're always being perverty when I'm around."
