 **Song playing right now : Escape to the stars- Cinema Bizarre**

Has anyone out there ever heard of that band? (Most people haven't) It's pretty weird, it's a German band, but I just LOVE this song !!! 

Right now my favorite band is Evanescence. Most people have heard of it, right? It's just great!!! My favorite songs of theirs are: "going under", "where will you go?" and "bring me to life". Unfortunately I only have one CD of theirs, Origin :-(. Well, I also have the CD Anywhere but Home, but since it's a live CD I don't like it much and never listen to it.

My other favorite songs (not Evanescence) are: Monsoon (tokio hotel), Love songs (they kill me), Forever or Never (both Cinema bizarre) it's my life (Bon Jovi) Animal I have become ( three days grace) Boulevard of broken dreams ( green day), Relax, take it easy (Mika), stupid girl (pink), and, of course, Escape to the stars!!!!! Anyone else ever heard of/like these songs/groups??? I just love 'em!!!

I get $10 an hour, serving people grease and cleaning greasy pizza ovens at the cinema, at most 15 hours a week (but an average of 8).

As to what I do with it, half goes into my savings and half goes into my checking account, which then goes mostly towards iTunes and Apple stuff. But also towards a class ring and a Spanish club trip to Costa Rica in June. 

To Paige: I never said $900 was not a lot of money. It is. I don't come from a 'rich' family either, I just have a job that pays pretty well.

With allowances and my job (Very small job. Working at a church nursery once a week. It pays!! Hey, I'm the only one in the family that is bringing in money right now!!), I think I earn about twenty-two dollars a month, plus random baby-sitting jobs, so I'd say, with four weeks in a month, about eighty-eight dollars.

Our town pays obscene amounts of money to teenagers... like, lifeguards at PAC make like 15 dollars an hour to sit there and make sure nobody drowns in a two-foot-deep rec pool.

I only get about $20 a month, since I don't have time for any babysitting or whatever. Plus, it's really hard to get a job in my town, even for teenagers, with the economy and the fact that we live right next to Orlando.

My best friend lives in Costa Rica.  She was learning Espanol, but, now that she knows it well enough, her family is moving to Guatemala on New Years to be missionaries.  I miss you Abbie!  I haven't seen you in ONE WHOLE YEAR!!! (I might see you at Christmas, though!!!!!!!)

Oh, I have two friends who were born in China (who told me a looooong time ago that they get Cricket, so I'M EXPECTING THEM TO BE ON THIS SITE!!!!!!! Ahem.), and they used to travel a lot, so they visited their parents in China and saw the Great Wall.  They've also been to India (saw the Taj Mahal!), Egypt (saw the pyramids!), some African place (went on a safari!), and a bunch of other cool places.  Sadly, they moved to WA, so I haven't seen them in, sniff sniff, sigh, THREE YEARS!!!!!!!  WAAAAA!!!!Cry

I've been using Limewire for months now, Mom longer than that, and my sister Quinn even longer, all on different machines of varying ages (all Macs, though) and none of us has ever had any problems with virus, etc., except Quinn, when she put her iPod through the wash, and I think we can be fairly certain that Limewire didn't do that... ;)

What kind of computer were you using? 

And technically, Limewire itself isn't illegal, it's downloading/uploading copyrighted material that's illegal.

The computers were Windows, so that could be it, but still, in one year, don't say I didn't warn you, if something should happen...

Er... wow... Don't worry, I'm insane too! Never heard of your bands though... *eats stolen cookies thoughtfully*

//And now for something completely different!//

iTunes has the vast majority of Within Temptation's albums now! yayness... and I recently found some string quartet Evanescence tribute things, and generally went on an iTunes shopping spree, so I've got like fifty new songs to listen to for a while... *evil grin*
