no matter what the cost.

I swear I'm reading way too many books now a days. I never thought I would say this but there is such a thing as reading too much. I've read so much that even my dreams are filled with drama. Just last night, I had this really realistic dream and if I hadn't woken up for school, I would have cried. Never you mind what the dream was but it felt so real to me. And the thing is that I didn't even think I'd be dreaming of the people who appeared in my dream. So for the next few days while I'm in Xian, I'm not going to read any story books. I'll be studying sejarah. Or at least try to.

I can't believe Carly got eliminated from American Idol!!! I was so sure she and the two David's would make it to the top 3!!! Just because she's Irish. So wasted la....

Just an interesting piece of knowledge.

History Mystery

Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.





Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Now it gets really weird.

John Wilkes Booth , who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy , was born in 1939.



Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.
