BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND - It's central England, not Middle-Earth, but one school is offering its students the chance to learn Elvish.

Youngsters at the Turves Green Boys' Technology College in Birmingham are being offered weekly after-hours lessons in Sindarin, a form of Elvish invented by Lord of the Rings creator J.R.R. Tolkien.

Educational co-ordinator Zainab Thorp hopes the classes help boost students' self esteem. "The recent success of the Lord of the Rings films has increased the interest in learning Elvish," Thorp says. "The children really enjoy it. It breaks the idea that education should be simply about getting a job."

She says that Tolkien was an expert in ancient languages who
developed two forms of Elvish. Sindarin was based on Welsh sounds and was more commonly used, while Quenya, which related to Finnish, was largely a ceremonial language.

"A couple of the boys are very into role-playing games. Knowing Sindarin is useful when giving orders to their Elvish armies," Thorp says. "It's also very useful if they want to go to university to study, as it involves looking at some of Tolkien's old manuscripts. This develops some very complex skills." Whatever works, right?

My absolutely most favoritest songs ever.

Real Love- John Lennon

All my little plans and schemes,
Lost like some forgotten dreams.
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for you.

Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys,
Seems like all they really were doing
Was waiting for love.

Don't need to be alone.
No need to be alone.

It's real love.
It's real.
Yes, it's real love.
It's real.

From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go.
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love.

Don't need to be afraid.
No need to be afraid.

It's real love.
It's real.
Yes, it's real love.
It's real.

Thought I'd been in love before,
But in my heart I wanted more.
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you.

Don't need to be alone.
Don't need to be alone.

It's real love.
It's real.
It's real love.
It's real.
Yes, it's real love.
It's real.
It's real love.
It's real.


Free As a Bird- John Lennon (Beatles version Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey)

Free as a bird,
it's the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.

Home, home and dry,
like a homing bird I'll fly
as a bird on wings.
{Paul's part- Paul to John}
Whatever happened to
the life that we once knew?
Can we really live without each other?

Where did we lose the touch
that seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so...
{/Paul}
Free as a bird,
like the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.

Home, home and dry,
like a homing bird I'll fly
as a bird on wings.
{George's Part- George to John}
Whatever happened to
the life that we once knew?
Always made me feel so free.
{/George}
Free as a bird.
It's the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Free as a bird.
Free as a bird.

I kept forgetting to update on what I did this weekend.

Yesterday I went to school for study session. Ick. We did an essayish thingie... oh well.

I went to Target to get Pinky's and Jessica's birthday presents. I wanted my colored mascara, but they were six dollars each.
Orangey red and a gorgeous green... oh well. :(

I think I've fallen back into my little well of depression. Well, being happy was nice while it lasted.

I shouldn't have said it, but I did, and I meant it. I'm sorry.
