REVISED TITLE: it could have been so much better
One thing further in music news. Another recent purchase of mine was the relatively new Franz Ferdinand album. This was no impulsive selection like the former I've told you about. Rather I've been thinking about getting it for months...and months. I finally caved in a desperate attempt to satisfy my deeply rooted longing to expend some of my limited income, in other words I wanted to buy something I didn't need with money I don't have so I did.
I was quickly reprimanded for said action when the CD, to my surprise SUCKED. Track #7, aptly named "Eleanor Put Your Boots Back On" seeing as that line is mindlessly repeated countless times, begins with such promise. However any potential is quickly extinguished with the oversized bucket of water that is an awful voice combined with even more terrible lyrics.
Quel Dommage!!
It wasn't for me, but perhaps some of you will like it. Do let me know! As far as it concerns me, which isn't very far at all, I'm just glad I bought it used.

Eh, I suppose. In the case of this post, however I was using it to prepare myself for writing an opinion piece for a class. I did hear the firey passion when I proof read it, but I just thought it was funny. It is just a CD after all...
whatev's
Passion is the spice of life and I'd rather have it in excess than go a single day lacking it to any degree {there's your dose of Holly wisdom for the day}
holly, parlez-vous français? "Quel dommage" ?? moi, je parle un peu français, mais j'apprend plus. maintenant, j'étudie le français a mon école. alors, je ne peux pas attendre à vous voir en california.
thank you for telling us about how disappointing the FF album is. thank you for reminding us to save our pennies. :) 16 days!
Miriam! Ma Belle!! Tu as retoune a moi! Oui, je parle francais. Je l'apprendais pour...7 annees je pense et j'ADORERAI la chance a parler avec une autre etudiante. MF nous detestera mais, je m'en fiche! Je deviens vraiment neuveuse quand je doit parler pour les autres, mais peut-etre avec vous je sertirai confortable... j'espere!
Je te verrai en quinze jours!
{Pardon tous mes erreurs grammatical, si te plait :) }
oh la la holly! tu sais beaucoup plus que moi. je l'apprendais seulement pour trois semestres! mais TOI! t'étudais (?) pour SEPT années!!!! c'est trés longtemps! mais, je suis allée en France pour deux semaines les trois derniers étés.
wow, so i'm really impressed with your french. some of what you said i didn't understand...yeah i'm not that good. conjugations get me. also, since i've only studied it for a short amount of time, my vocab isn't up to par. but anyway i'm excited to speak with you in french in person.
and mary frances: you and i can make up our own secret language. b/c i only know english and french. but we can have some kind of code. however we can't discuss it on here, b/c holly can read it :)
girls: i have to administer equal attention to both of you or else it wouldn't be fair. there's no need to fight over me, plenty of miriam to go around. (hah, j/k!) it will be my unique bond with both my girls! MWAH! bon nuit mes puces! (MF, that's: "goodnight my little fleas!") it's a term of affection in france.
do either of you girls have i.m.? because i feel like we're all on at the same time. but as not to be stalked by weirdos...i'll post one of my old old email addresses on here that i'll check soon...so you can e-mail me your info, or even your email address; also MF, i've lost your xanga address..so if you could send that too...

Holly is really good at speaking french, but she always gets really shy when it comes time to speak.
Holly: I actually like this album! Granted, "Eleanor" may not be the greatest track, but "Walk Away" is great, as are a few others. Still, just as you said, it could have been so much better. For an album that's worth the $15, check out Five For Fighting's "The Battle for Everything". I bought this album when it was new, and I STILL love it! The tracks "Infidel" and "Disneyland" aren't so good, but I love every other song. So that's my commercial for the day.
Now, back to your regularly schedualed blogging.
Ma Belle, J'ai voyage a la France aussi. I didn't totally understand if you meant you went 3 summers ago or for the past 3 summers. Either way that's awesome!
Whatever you do don't be impressed by my French I assure you I should be a lot better. Though Steve's comment was kind the most truth can be found in the latter half of it. I do get CRAZY shy! Which is strange...
Perhaps this can be your super power Miriam! Giving boldness to the meek. On second thought I think there's enough of that between you and Mary! :)
holly tu es folle!! :) i'm kidding! anyway--i e-mailed both you and MF. i sent MF some pictures...but they were too big and it took too much time to send to both of you--so you'll have to ask her to see them. and yes i said i have been to france the past three summers. hopefully i'll be going again in june. there is a group of like 10 french teens that i'm in correspondance with almost daily. we've built some great relationships and i miss them alot.. anyway, didn't mean to get off on that tangent...je te vois a QUINZE JOURS! tchao.
est-ce que peut steve lire le francais aussi!?? oh la la.
Steve? Lit- en francais? HAH! Il ne lit pas en anglais! ;) Il est un peu...lent. Non, non, je suis terrible! Je ne serai jamais une femme symathique!
adieu
No I cant read french, and I do know how to read english.
psst, Miriam. Just play along with him, it would break his heart if he knew the truth. He has such a rough time reca-membering all those big words... :)
"it would break his heart if he knew the truth" -HMS
That would imply I have a heart...
HAH, I was going to write something like that first.
So, who did steal your heart Steve? I'll put my money on Ben. All that quality time "watching movies"...right.
wow, 19 comments..i think this is a record! and i'm glad to be apart of it! steve, it's great to know that you are so technologically advanced...i mean, who would have thought to copy and paste holly's french into an online translator!? seriously, maybe you should spread your knowledge around! genius!
holly: tu me manque et je ne peux pas attendre à voir ton visage. gros bizous!
MF: so listen: C8 and JU3..got it?
Whoa there! I must protest. We here at ~In So Many Words~ appreciate Steve's ingenuity in finding a way to get the facts, that and few know just how big of butthead he is. I being one of them reserve the right to jab at will. To all the others lay off :)...please!
Miriam: Tu essayes pour moi a devenir jalouse a cause de ta nouvelle langue avec Mary, mais tu oublies que la plupart de temps je ne suis pas lui ecouter!
Mary: Where did you go?
Steve: Hmmm, tell me again what comes after August? (zing)
Everyone Else: We have 20 comments from 5 different people feel free to jump in anytime
HMS- lol you jabbed at me about ben stealing my heart, then again about the months... I think I was suppose to get a jab back at you first befor the second jab... So I guess I owe you two jabs
1. lol! maybe Ben did steal my heart? but I only gave it to him because all the girls I know are .... well .... just plain stupid.
2. Your right! I get my months all confused! It could be worse,I could hit parked cars....
"it's great to know that you are so technologically advanced...i mean, who would have thought to copy and paste holly's french into an online translator" -miriam
Whats up with this? You dont even know me Miriam!?! I mean... WOA!
I was really looking forward to meeting a new person that might be cool! Well I guess you really are like Mary...
Oh, snap! Holly got burned! I have hit a number of parked cars, snorted, hit my hand on windows, fallen down stairs, and run into trees. What can I say?
I choose to end the jabbing here. All the lame stuff people do ends up being what makes you like 'em in the end anyway
Eh hem, Mary? "Rare form"? Who are you trying kid?
steve, i apologize if offense was taken with the comments i directed towards you. i was hoping, that you would counteract in this playful banter even though you haven't met me. i do look forward to meeting you and my deepest sincere apologies. but i've "seen" (read is more like it) you dish it out before with MF and holly so i was hoping the same would be true for me. ??
holly: wow you are way more advanced than i. i'm going to have to use steve's bright idea about the online translator.
MF: i sent you 2 emails about the codes..also, did you get the email w/ the pictures???
kisses from indiana!

"steve, i apologize if offense was taken with the comments i directed towards you"
then
"i'm going to have to use steve's bright idea about the online translator."
I dont get women these days, first they apologize and then they hit you again befor you can even forgive them.
steve: come on man! it was a joke!!! laugh a little!

Shutup.
Awww, you guys even comment together. Now that's affection!
hahaha Your just jealous.... actually I know for a fact your jealous
Isn't it the other way around? I remember reading somewhere that we have a "jealous God". Yeah, I certainly don't begrudge him his position one bit. Besides I don't like chocolate syrup... :)
I dont really get what you just said.... learn better come backs
"I choose to end the jabbing here"
-HMS
Once again, I dont understand girls.
Shhh, just come back to bed, Steven.
Fine FINE! I'll stop. But only because it's no fun if I have to explain everything.
Ben called himself God in his comment so that where that's from and the chocolate syrup came from a gross comment he made at the mall refering to you.
JEEZ!!
Ben, please help your man out. Explain things to him!
Jeez....
I want to see you punch me in the face as hard as you can...
HMS-I want you to pour honey all over my body.
HMS- I want to see you get really angry
Shh Holly, I'm no one's scallion... yeah I said it... scallion, so you can stuff that request down your annoying little dog's mouth.
Kaiser: Only if it was scalding hot!! PERV
Steve(for the record I hate calling you that):Why? And just so you know I'm always ready to punch you in the face or kick you in the groin or both.
"Steve(for the record I hate calling you that)"
You think this is some kind of game?
You want to play games?
What is this about games? I just never thought of you as much of a "Steve".
"You want to play games"
-SXK
....no? I'm really confused...
Put your money where your mouth is....
I have NO idea what you're talking about. I don't know where my mouth is and I don't have any money so I suppose I'm outta luck. Unless you care to explain yourself I'm going to bed
sissy....

PANSY!! Yeah. You heard me!
Mary! Miriam! One of you! Save me from these icky boys!!
If you're not going to "stoop to my level of banter," as you so arrogantly stated, don't tell me. Keep that lofty bullcrap to yourself, please; I don't want to hear about your exceptional grace and dignity, bestowed upon you by the gods, no doubt.
To Matt: Listen buddy, you were forgotten when you started going out with Ms. Godforsaken (soon to make you Mr. Godforsaken if I do interpret the latest from the gossip tree correctly.)
LOOK OUT! its that time of the month for Ben .....
I do believe it's always "That time of the month" for Ben.
Personally I like "Ms. Godforsaken" and if Satan himself has issues he can kindly take them elsewhere.
To a probable Mr. Godforsaken: I would beat him up if I were you, but then again I usually feel like hitting him or something.
Well said.

Whoa there Miss. Mary! Lets not be too hard on poor satan, he does get quite a lot of flack. Anyway who was your last boyfriend? His name escapes me... :)
HMS said-
"Anyway who was your last boyfriend? His name escapes me... :) "
So I say this to you!
Who was your last boyfried? I think I forgot his(or her) name?

Hmm, an interesting question with perhaps an even more interesting response.
Alas I will not answer that for you. But I will say, since I know you're so sure YOU know the truth, that I'm nearly positive that Mary's answer would be different from my own.
P.S. MF this doesn't give you any license to publish your answer lest one of your recent dreams come true!
wow, i'm not sure if i want to get involved in such a tangled web. it seems a little risky...
Miriam, Ma Belle. Pray you never find out the whole truth of this terribly tangled web; but for comprehension's sake I'll explain things just a bit:
membower: he's in love
satan (i.e. ben): he's bitter
steve: he's a butthead
mary: she's a flake (yes, you made me mad tonight!!!)
And me: well appearently I'm just the devil.
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to know anymore than that, Il y a beaucoup d'histoire ici, les filles et les garcons, les freres et les soeurs; j'imagine que tu comprennes. Nous nous aimons la plupart de temps, mais les evenements de la coeur ces sont toujours tragic! :)
Ciao
can't we all just get along?!
69 comments has got to be a record. seriously!
10 days!
69 is a great number.
You're just jealous, Floorants.
Thanks Holly, I like you too.
"Floorants"
that is so funny! OMG!!1!1!ONE
I love you ben!
DO IT! DO IT! I wanna hear what you got!! Not to me of course, frankly I'm sure I've heard 'em all.
Some of us hear know the only one around who's allowed to give me a nickname! Oh, how I love that singing voice!! ;)
Not a word MF, like I said I DON'T!
MF: If you do find that # pass it along!!! No, No, jk jk!!! SO not kosher!
remember back to when you visited? (the fitting room...?) Remember those happenings? Well "it" happened again. Lots of mutual smiling...! =D
Wow, I don't know ANY of you, but you are like watching a really dysfunctional reality show! lol
Have fun with that! ;)
Miriam, love you girly girl! You're not going ANYWHERE, ANYTIME SOON!!!!!!!!!!!
i just want to keep adding to this post so the number of comments reaches 100. so keep contributing!
Calvin Coolidge said, "I have never been hurt by anything I didn't say." I'd really like to know the context of that, 'cause I think that's crap! *Sorry, strong opinion alert.
And another great quote for those of you who remember it and for Mary because she understands,
"Irate's not a word! Stop makin' up crap!" *sigh oh what fun!
