which 'away in the manger' do you like best?
i like the one that goes like this: 'away in the manger, no crib for a bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head;...'
dear dave harolds:
which 'away in the manger' do you like best?
the absolute, drop-dead, make-me-fuzzy-headed, most confusing thing for me lately has been...i seriously cannot get used to the fact that i know a john, a jonathan, and yet another jonathan..(at least), all of which i talk to every day. [on a good day] the worst part of it is: berg used to be a full out jonathan and now he's 'jon' to me and i dont know why, and feddema used to be...i dont remember. but he's a jon now too. [part time]. and then john. you're like me..its almost impossible to shorten up a name that only has four letters. even worse for you cause you have one syllable. so you're still john. which makes...three jon's! how do i know who's who?
just as bethany predicted:
from breakfast on through the day, from breakfast on through the day, from breakfast on
this is for brent. because i re-found this for like the seventeen-th time. i think i might've even posted it here before. but since i decided to dedicate this to you...i figured something about you would be good. anyways, im rambling so here it is: (okay..so maybe its abbboouuuut brains. but it has brent in it.)
tada!! by: nicole, sam, and tara
my heads gonna explode,
someone left a bomb in there,
my brains on "boring" mode,
I should take better care
My brain is used to crying
Cause it’s practiced dieing
But will it ever be healed?
‘cause now it’s been sealed
my brain broke,
so I better drink some coke.
I can’t think,
cause Brent is wearing pink
I can’t rhyme,
I just don’t know why!!
over the next hour,
my heart might turn sour,
'cause my brain is out of service,
so my heart gets nervous
I hate my brain,
its such a pain,
home work is no fun,
I want to eat a bun
my brain is broke,
what a joke,
I cannot work,
brents such a jerk!!!!!!!!!!
Too much work
Will turn you into a jerk
So I think I should quit
Before I take a fit.
a brain is not worth anything at all
if it ever falls
it could hurt forever
and not be repaired, ever
I am not a mule,
So I shouldn’t go to school
I better eat lunch, so I can play tennis
With no one else, but my Samo, the Menace
(thats as close to a song as you'll get buster brown)

in grade eight we had these notebooks where we had to write down characteristics of people, places, or things that struck us. or names of people, or anything like that. the random stuff that is never good in most writing by 'kids' and amazing in little kids' work and sometimes perfect in big kids(adults) work. i never completely grasped the concept. well, i thought i had at the time. but now looking back, it was pathetic and i tried so hard! but thats besides the point. the point is that today, the best revelation of the day, break-through, whatever you want to call it was that i finally mastered the concept of: little notebook.
tara won her prize /just/ last year.
so i checked it out too jackie.
