well...now that we've gotten television interests out of the way lets move on to something different...how about movies???...i know how original of me...anyway...my favorites are Mr. and Mrs. Smith and the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

I really like V for Vendetta and The Notebook. I also like Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants a lot. Mr. and Mrs. Smith is good too, but I have only seen half of it. I like most Brad Pitt and Angelina movies... i should go rent that one to see the end.

Hey I'm Meghan and I live about 2 1/2 hours north of Chicago, near Wisconsin (Thought I'd introduce myself first). Hmmm...movies...there is nothing out right now that I'm dying to go see, but Music and Lyrics looks vaguely interesting. As for older (i.e. not in theateres) movies, I love Pirates of the Caribbean (I and II), John Tucker Must Die, the Devil Wears Prada, Ocean's 11 and 12, and even movies like the original Pink Panther series and Romancing the Stone. The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants is a good movie too, but I've never seen the notebook. I pretty much like any kind, especially mysteries, but not scary/horror movies.

i want to go see Blades of Glory which is coming out soon and i totally i agree with the Ocean's movies...i heard they were making an Oceans 13...but maybe that was just talk...oh and to add to the thing before about knowing people going...my friend just applied in a late registration thing or something so he might be going to too...idk yet

Ok, so now that we have confirmed movies are great. now i must give thanks to meghan for reminding me to rent John Tucker Must Die, which I have yet to see. Yeah, so what else is there... what about sports? or music? i am a swimmer but i just made the badminton team(it sounds easy, but it really isn't, as i just found out.) and i play the viola (fyi: a stringed instrument like a violin.)

I was in band in 6th grade and then i quit before 7th grade started...i don't play sports either, but out school doesn't do anything awesome like a badminton team...our school doesn't even have a pool...but i love swimming...i just couldn't do it like y'all do for a sport i know some swimmers from area schools and how much they swim and train and practice is insane but its paid off - some of them are going to the state meet...i love watching sports though...biggest boys football fan and go to the soccer and basketball games too.

i like to watch soccer and football a lot too. This is mostly because it's what my family does and some of my guy friends play on the school team. I know people that play basketball too, but i never have time to go to the games. Swimming is pretty intense, you were right about that entirely, but i really like it.
by the way, what did you play in band for that one year?

i played clarinet and would have been 1st chair in 7th and 8th grade but i didn't relly like it that much and i wanted to take journalism so i had to quit for scheduling reasons

I'm in the band at my school- I've played flute and piccolo for about 6 years. I love playing sports too. I run cross country in the fall and track in the spring, and play soccer year-round. I love playing badminton during the summer. I wish our school had a team! hmm...I love watching games and competitions at my school like volleyball, basketball, swimming, football and soccer, and watching sports on tv like hockey and ice skating. I think that's it.

Does your schools have boys volleyball??...mine doesn't but i know some schools do...my cousin coaches somewhere in IL...just not anywhere around here...your schools sound way bigger than mine so i was just wondering

yeah, in fact, try outs are this week for boys volleyball. The gym they use for try outs is the one badminton uses for practice, so guess who had to wake up at five this morning to go to practice while they have try outs after school! Me. It was really agrivating because i've never been to a practice in the morning at school that didn't include swimming in a really really cold pool. Then again, it could be just because it's monday...

mondays...probably one of the worst days of the week except for Wednesday...on Wednesday you've been doing stuff for the first part of the week and it seems forever to go til the week is over...my favorite day of the week is definitely friday...sports...student sections...friends...2 days of no school ahead...what more can you ask for??

a friday leading to a three day weekend... i love three day weekends, there are three oppurtunities to hang out with friend and not worry about school the next day, the only thing better than that is break... speaking of break... i only have 12 more days of scool until Spring Break!!!!! yay

spring break...much needed at this point of the school year...so you going anywhere cool...my family's going to Washington DC

no, i'm not going anywhere, but a week away from school is always good. I went away for thanksgiving so my parents decided that we're not going anywhere until summer.

yeah...my summer is nylf and a mission trip to Arkansas...but after spring break i'll have been to 48 states -- im missing Alaska and Hawaii still and my parents arent going to pay for a family vacation to either spot

anyway NCAA tournament started..any favorites??? ive got Florida going all the way

hey, does your school offer AP classes? Mine does and I've gotten so much homework lately, I can only take so much note taking about the Russian Revolution...
Anyway Spring Break is almost here!!! Two more days!
You are so lucky, I have never been to the east coast, but I hear it's pretty there. My mom and I just found out that we get to go to Europe over the summer! I have never been there either, so I am really excited! luckily it doesn't clash with nylf.

No, you're the lucky one -- Europe that sounds amazing, yeah my school has AP classes, but im only in AP Statistics which i take at the center, im taking AP Calc BC next year probably though and im taking "Advanced English" right now which is what my home school puts you in when you plan to go college...kind of sad really...but next year i'll have AP English too.

Where in Europe are you going? I would love to go to Europe, but my parents want to go visit colleges this spring break. Exciting, right? I'm on spring break right now, we got today off too. Just in time too, our third quarter just ended and it was very stressful. Can't wait for fourth quarter (just kidding). My school has some AP classes too. Actually, I'm in AP english and US history right now. The english class really isn't that bed, it's just alot of writing...

I could never take AP English because writing is really not my strong point, but I am taking AP US History and AP Chem next year. They offer english junior and senior year so maybe i'll take it senior year...
Anyway, the trip i am taking to Europe is a Mediterranean cruise,visiting France and Italy. It only a week, and it's from Nice to Rome.
He you guys been to Europe? Any tips on the sites?
