I do want to write something just to get in the habit of writing something every evening because on some shore excursion days(Paris) I am going to be tired and I’ll need to write a post. Any way tomorrow Mom is going to go over my clothes with me and decide what goes with what and what goes on the the cruise and what doesn’t. Probably the few remaining bits of fashion ideas will perish tomorrow to lie smoldering in defeat only to reemerge later when I get to pick an outfit on my own and then make me look ridiculous to Mom. It is very unfortunate that the three sets of clothing (Things I like; Things I’d wear: Things Mom approves of) very rarely have anything in common. I like fancy clothes it’s just most of my fancy evening wear is dark colored(Evening wear=dark colors was pounded into my head, but surprise! Now all of my nice dark colored clothes are OUT and though I bought them for the cruise I can’t wear them:( So much for shopping only at the discounted areas where all of the winter stuff was on sale apparently.)

It is very pleasant being able to write all of this now that way tomorrow when Mom goes through my clothes I can nod and smile and say all right take out all of the things I like and insist on my bringing a whole bunch of clothes that I won’t wear and will only have to be lugged around in the airport to the great disconvenience of us then when the airline loses our luggage I will still triumph by bringing all of the stuff I really like in my carry on luggage and then proceed to wear it and if Mommy feels embarrassed to be seen with me when I’m wearing a beautiful dark green silk skirt and a white lace top that has lovely flowing sleeves I can go eat somewhere else and enjoy making a fashion statement and knowing that I don’t look half as ridiculous as most fifteen year old girls make themselves.

So now that I have a nice long piece of my mind on clothes I can go on about working in the shop. It is interesting how no matter how nice most of my life is I can always find something to complain about, something that could be better… Oh well, I suppose it is human nature but usually I am pretty content and happy and “It could be a LOT worse” is almost my motto. Anybody who says “It can’t be worse” here on earth is only asking for it to get worse. So though I am rather tired from a lot of shop work the knowledge that when my paycheck arrives and after the orcs have taken their plunder, I mean after the taxes have been deducted(I do have a high opinion of most of our government and taxes could be a lot higher and I do not mean to call all of the government officials Orcs, but some of them resemble them I think(No names mentioned but I would like to say now that I am a republican and Prolife and a Christian and I think that there is a definite right and wrong.)) Now if you can’t remember what I was saying before I reiterate or maybe I should just say what I was going to say which is, “I will be very happy when I get all of the money I have been earning.” “Work, Get Paid, Spend it” is a nice way of life just so long as you don’t spend more than you earn and don’t spend it too wastefully.

Wow this is a really rambly post that has a lot of different things in it! I must be regaining my ability to go off topic and change topics and write about a great many different things.

So now where was I? Oh I’m in my room… Any way I have been learning all of the songs from “The Mikado” and fortunately there is a nice website(Note the link!) that has all of the opera on it(In English of course, though it’s the English it was written in about a hundred years ago and the meaning to some of the words have changed.) On there all of the songs are midi files and you can open them in a separate window then read(or sing out loud) the lyrics to them. Just make sure you aren’t sent to practice in front of Madame Tussads Waxworks.(Let the Punishment fit the Crime) I really like the music to “The Sun whose rays are all ablaze”. For “The Flowers that Bloom in the Spring” my brother Daniel, Andrew, and I have our own variation that we sing when appropriate “Logical Reason and Sense, Tra La, Have nothing to do with this Thing(or Case or Point or Book or whatever…)”

So now that I have typed for about a half an hour(And I doubt it will take that long to read this) I am going to close this post and post it while I can still post posts. Actually “Post while you can still Post Posts” might make a good tongue twister. I am really going to miss internet on the cruise ship but I’ll have quite a few other things to entertain me. I just hope the television has a classic movie channel like the last cruise had because I am leaving a lot of DVD’s behind.

Now since I hope everybody lives happily ever after(except the Tax Orcs of course) I shall say “The End” and go to bed so I’ll have energy to go through my clothes:( Pack work in the shop:( and go to Walmart:). This time next week I’ll be on the Atlantic Ocean! I might be sick from eating too much ice cream and deserts but I hope that the fresh sea air and plenty of exercise will keep me from getting too sick.

Considering how tired I was when I started I really wrote a rather long post. Hopefully every evening on the cruise ship I’ll be able to write a post. When I get back I’ll have a lot of posts written(Hopefully…) to post.

This is the Post that never ends… It goes on and on my friend… Somebody started writing it not know what it was and they’ll go on writing it for ever just because this is the post that never ends… It goes on and on my friend… Somebody started writing it not know what it was and they’ll go on writing it for ever just because this is the post that never ends………………………
