It's been sort of a long time since I last updated. I was at my grandparents in New Hampshire Friday-Thursday and that was definitely really boring. There was nothing to do, so I just read like 5 books (but was STILL bored).

Friday I went to an Arlo Guthrie concert. For those of you who don't know, Arlo Guthrie is Woody Guthrie's son, and was a

I love arlo..god I LOVE him what was it like? Isn't he woodies nephew though?

[polythenepam328]

He's Woody's son, during the concert he kept playing Woody songs and talking about how his "dad stole songs" lol! He was really hilarious, he kept telling stories throughout the whole thing. His band, who was with him every night, was even cracking up at his stories. His voice sounds like it did 40 years ago, which surprised me. He played all of his hits (minus The Motorcycle Song haha) and a lot of Woody/Cisco Houston songs. It was amazing! He looks really old, but he's the same old Arlo :).

omg im excited and i wasnt even there! that is SO cool..wow was he all hippie? he looks so different but so the same lol these days..did he have the great big long silver hair and beard?

[polythenepam328]

Yep, he had long hair and a beard and he was wearing glasses. His clothes weren't too hippie-ish, he was wearing jeans, a white button-up shirt, and a leather vest. You're right, he does look the same, even with all his hair lol.

Hahaha, Americans scare me, too.

And hey, there are kids out there named stuff like Moon Unit, I'm sure little Latinus would be okay. Although maybe an actual latin name like Patentia or Jacobus would be a bit less... odd. :) Personally, I rather like Aurelius.

I like Aurelius, too. Like Marcus Aurelius. He was a good emperor. His son was bad, though. But anyway....

Why don't you practice guitar? You're like my little sister with piano. She never practices and tells me how much she hates it, but she REFUSES to quit, even though it's wasting our hard-earned money!

[polythenepam328]

Well my dad is obsessed with guitar and that makes me like it less for some reason. And everytime I even pick up my guitar he runs to my room from his office (which is kind of across the hall) and either watches me or wants to play with me. And then he makes me play things for other people and I really hate playing for people.
I don't refuse to quit, in fact, I've offerred to! But my parents want me to keep doing it.

Luckily Moon-Unit has her brother Dweezil to sympathize with her haha. I'll just have to torture all of my kids with unusual names!
There was a king named Latinus at some point, I think he was king when they still called them Latins. It does sound like a made up name though haha. Aurelius IS a nice name :).

Sweet. I'm glad to hear Arlo is still alive...considering the way he rides his motorcycle.
