I’m fifteen right now, and I love this song because it makes me wonder about the years to come.

I really like the song- the music, the lyrics and everything about it. I’m glad I was able to find its lyrics.

11. Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, 15th century
(Wasn’t this a bunch of medieval soap opera stuff? I don’t like modern soap opera stuff, for crying out loud.)

I actually LIKED Chaucer… Oddly enough, I liked it when I was first given it in 5th grade (yes, they did – they figured we couldn’t tell what was actually being said… Little did they know!). Honestly, it’s 14th c erotica, more than anything… Not really a soap opera at all. If you’re looking for mirth points, find and watch Hipatia Lee’s Baudy Tales of Canterbury. Surprisingly enough (or, maybe not) it follows the book quite closely. Go figure, her being a porn star and all. LOL. THAT should give you a good idea of what the book was about – and why Chaucer was threatened several times with excommunication for writing dirty novels.

Not a good list. A few good books on it. I’ve read a few more of them than you have, heard of more. I liked some that you apparently don’t care for (besides LoTR, lol.)

Wind in the Willows is actually a pretty good read for kids. I just bought Thucydides the other day from the discount bin at B&N. But then I really like military history. You’ve seen my bookshelves (I got a really nifty new built-in shelf with lots of goodies on it, check it out next time you’re over. BTW, that shoud be someday soon.)

And yet again – this would be why I ended up going to Costco and making my own – the roses, while they did have a bit of a scent, weren’t nearly as heavily-scented as they could have been (I supposed it’s different due to the color), and I got some really pretty purple flowers to go along with… Total cost for 3 full bouquets? $30…

Safeway only charges ~$10 for a dozen roses. But those smell like roses unfortunately. They do sell other flowers though. I can’t imagine spending more than a few dollars for fancy ribbon and a way to tie them together to look nice. Hell, I’m sure the craft store would have something for far less than the $85 that the florist wants for a bouquet.
