敦敦的第一首歌
�
���由春入夏之际, 孩子从身体到情感都是最敏感的阶段, 记得小时候, 每到这个季节, 皮肤，关节和肌肉都发痒，内气上提，走起路来都轻飘飘的。借着这柳树抽条的感觉, 敦敦完成了他的第一支歌的词曲创作. 昨晚睡觉前他请求我们听完一遍他的歌。敦爹郑重地录下了儿子的这首处女作。
Let the time slowly pass
Let the time slowly pass,
don’t let it go away so fast,
sometimes I felt the time dash by,
I like it slow don’t ask me why,
so live life slowly,
cause it’s the only
time that you and me,
will have.
���这首歌是孩子对时间的一种十分独特的感受，他感到在日常的忙碌的生活中时间流逝得很快，他试图用心努力使时间慢下来。
���不论对大人还是孩子来说，时间始终是一个很抽象的概念，我们每个人一生能拥有的时间有很大的不确定性，我们每天利用时间的方式也是千差万别的。你可以选择跑步去做十件事，你也可以选择散步去做一件事。哲学一点来看这两种选择都不错，根本区别是在于你在乎不在乎那九件事，能否放得下。我们每个人每天都在忙碌地活着和有滋味地生活之间作选择。
If you will forgive the melodrama, today was the beginning of the end.
We had a Course Options session today after school. There were two categories: Arts and Sciences & Languages. For Arts, I chose Band (of course). But for Sciences & Languages, I watched my future slip away as my mother circled the only science option. No languages or fun courses for me. No, Anna, stick to the doctorates. That's all you're good for.
Grrrr. Life sucks.
I want to read.
So I will go read.
I am too pessimistic to form a thought related to something mildly happy, so I will save the recommendation for another day.

Back again...
I just got back from my friend Malaea's sleepover birthday party. It was pretty fun. All my good friends from school were there. Charlotte pretty well went NuTs every time someone said the name "Edward" and started rocking back and forth and stuff because he isn't real. (Twilighters know what I'm talking about) She was close to tears.�It was slightly scary. That someone can be that obsessed.... Don't misunderstand me. I am obsessed as well. I just have more practice at hiding it (and all subsequent emotions). While all of them watched the Alien movies, I went downstairs and read. Sorry to inform you, but�I cannot and WILL not do science fiction. Never. I just can't watch it. It reduces me to tears, it scares me so much. Other than that, though, it was great. My friends were all in good spirits and as strange as ever.
Besides that, I got a chance to notice how absurd they all are. Don't get me wrong, they're all great people and I like them a lot. They're just so--forgive me for seeming like I think I'm better than them-- immature. It's incredible. We went out for supper to a buffet, and one of my friends (Mara) and I had to beg them, "Please, PLEASE don't fight or punch each other or talk about sex in loud voices." It's embarrassing. And I like them all, they're great people, just sometimes it's frustrating because... well. At times I find their antics very inane. I know I sound stuck up or whatever, but really. We're just very different, I guess. I would not be able to talk world news with a single one of them. (Well, maybe Mara, because she claims she listens to the news and reads the paper) Of course, you would hardly expect world news to be a topic at a 15-year-old girl's birthday party. But I can't help feeling so separate from them.
I have been feeling older than I really am lately. I don't know why. I've been feeling like I'm in my twenties or something... I don't know if that's good or bad, but it's pretty strange. I get a kind of jolt when I realise that I'm still 15.
Life's hard.
Suggestion of the day: Streetcorner Symphony, by Rob Thomas. Good song. He usually has good songs, so check out his other stuff if you want.
I'm going to go now. I have a ridiculous amount of homework that I can't get away with not doing.
Started studying for the ap calc test today.... test's in 10 days.... I'm so screwed.
its been a fair weekend,i watched castaways by tom hanks got a couple more movies for tonite and did a little housework,then i had my first cookout,the grill acutlly worked so im gonna make this a ritual,it is starting to cloud up� probly more rain.samson the cat has discovered the toilet,he likes to stand and look into it and watch the water move when its flushed,its funny to watch him do this, castaways was an excellent movie,i had never cooked out before i got lucky this time i didnt set the porch on fire even though i spilled some starter fluid on it,itsbeen a very quiet weekend lots of sleep,been very tired lately anyway,it is so hard to be alone,
So, I'm gonna start doing this again and not just ignore the emails XP
Spent 11 hours in the car Friday coming back from North Carolina. XP I love my cousin Nick.� I swear, he's the nicest person in the world
Yesterday was Konrad's birthday party.� I swear he's also one of the nicest people in the world.� We went out bowling, then to Applebee's, the to the movies.
