You didn’t get to heaven but you made it close

In case you've been living under a rock (and I know you haven't, but maybe you haven't listened to the song in a while and forgot it--again, not like you did, because there aren't that many words to this particular song, but you might have and so I'm here to assist in assisting you by telling you this), I feel the need to tell you that above are the lyrics to 42, a song by Coldplay, from Viva la Vida.

I swear that song was written for Mr. Spaceman by Robert Olen Butler. I think that Chris Martin (or Guy, or Jonny, or Will-the frequently unnamed members of Coldplay) read the book, thought (in his lovely accent), Oh, I could make a wonderful song from this because it's such a beautiful peace written about an Alien that may or may not be God. Or, I would, if that entire book wasn't about words and 42 doesn't have very many. Seriously, though. It is the PERFECT song for that book. Everything about it is just perfect. Even the music. It's amazing, and somehow I just noticed this today on the way home from school.

I also realized (as if I hadn't already) that I'm so glad volleyball is over. I don't know if I've mentioned this to anyone, ever, but I'm REALLY glad volleyball is over, and I really hated going to practice. I don't think I have said that. Newest reasons are:

♥I get to listen to music more often, because I'm home more often, and because I have the 20 or so minute bus ride in the afternoon (now a longer one in the morning as well because my sister's ex-boyfriend is a creepy stalker freak and all this other crap that I'm not going to put online, because it's scary, and if you-emilea- or you-anna- want to know, I can email you, but I'm sure you don't care, and I can just tell caroline since she/you, you know, lives/live here).

♥Because I get to be inside the loop. Especially on all things regarding Zac and Katlyn. You want to hear the newest news (trust me, you'll be entertained. I'm not sure in what way, but you will be)? They were playing with the electronic 20?s game in BAM on Saturday, because you know, they still have benefits, and Katlyn told Zac to think of something. So, he thought of Katlyn. She asked him all the questions, stuff like "Is it black?" and "Can it fit in a microwave?" Ridiculous stuff like that. So they go through twenty questions and then the long process of "I know what it is....it's a--" You want to know what it turned out to be? A Soulmate!!!!!!

Isn't that the craziest thing you've ever heard? And it wasn't even a lie, because I double checked the facts (since Zac sometimes lies, a tad bit) with Katlyn. It definitely was a soulmate. So suffice to say they were freaked out. I think it's sweet, because they do make a good couple.

♥I'm not sure this is a good thing, but I get to be harassed with multiple hungs from people. Mostly, it's a good thing. With Lenny it's not. He attacked me and Zac and wouldn't let go of us for a good 10 minutes. He started to sing. It was scary.

♥Dante said I looked emo with my Relient K jacket. I laughed, because he was wearing all black.

♥I can do things like Book Club and Drama Club and Chorus without having to work practice around it and be rushed all the time.

♥Sleep, oh lovely sleep.

♥BLOGGING! I know you guys enjoy that one, right?

So the concert was awesome, as Caroline has already told you. Matt Thiessen wore a cape for the first song. This Providence rofls my waffles. I got a guitar pick. My jacket is amazing. I use that word too much. I had some writing material for a story I'm working on. It got my mind off some things so I could think (and write).

Also, Dreher High School Wizard of Oz????? I'm not the only one dying to go, am I?
