Have you guys heard that song? Sunday Sunday!!!! It's a cool song really, I got to sing it last year in choir and it sounded pretty good. So I was thinking of something meaning full to say but it's kid of hard when all you do is hang out all day and do chores. yes, story of my Sunday. Which is why I brought up the song. How does Sydney think of something people actually want to hear? All I can think of is what I did today. Maybe that's why she had the idea of starting the blog. Maybe that's why shes writing a book. Because she has so much to say. So much voice. So much to envy. Oh yes, like her acting skills. I'm going to really need her help because she convinced me to try out for the play. I'm actually really excited for that because i think that getting involved in school is really important and I decided that I should get involved. I think that the only time I actually acted is in fifth grade when I was the queen in the school play. I had like two lines but the entire play I had to stand on the stage wishing that I was playing the princess who had waaaaayy more lines then I did. Katie was the lucky girl who got that part and I was so mad I didn't try out to be the princess. I'm not going to let that happen again. Wasn't that a great story? I'm done with that little rant now so you can all take a deep breath.
In my language arts class we are acting out a book called Inherit the Wind. I'm not sure if you guys have heard of the Scopes Monkey Trial? Probably not, but that's what the book is about. So what the scopes trial about is this man named John T. Scopes who taught evolution in the classroom. (This was in the 1920s) And there was a HUGE trial about how it went against this law in Tennessee that basically says "You must not teach anything that goes against what the Bible says." Well he obviously didn't follow that law and people were not very happy with him. I thought that was kind of interesting. I'm excited to see what happens at the end.
This is a short post and I feel kind of bad, like I'm jipping Sydney out of our deal.
Sorry Syd but that's all I have to say right now.

Please comment, it makes me feel better, like we actually have an audience... or do we...

Dearest Em,
Well, I read the blog (though that's not saying much!)
And thank you for your complimentation. I am honored! But really, it's not me. I would have none of those talents or gifts without God. And you have a beautiful writers voice too. You just don't know it yet.
Love,
Syd
Elementary school plays are always.. interesting. I remember in 5th grade my own class decided to create our own student directed play on the Lion King, and then we'd perform it in front of the other tracks. And since it was a musical, we had to sing *not good*. I tried out for Zazu because it was the only part I thought I could get, and I did get it. And my favorite part was definitely the mask and beak I had made for myself. Man I miss those days...
