Do you not ever have snow days in Norway?

My dad is now back from the hospital and resting at home. Kelsey, to answer your question from earlier, my dad is fortunate enough to not have to take insulin shots. He just has to take the pills.

Kelly! We have the same favorite song! :awesome: Since it's obvious what my choice is, I guess I'll go into detail as to why "Butterflies and Hurricanes" is my favorite song ever. To keep a long story short, Muse were what got me through the toughest part of my life. Muse in themselves are a special band to me. This song in particular, though... It's extra special. When I first bought "Absolution," it blew me out of the water; at that time, I'd never heard anything like them. "Butterflies and Hurricanes" was the song I always put on when I started to get back to that low point, and the chorus was just what I needed to hear at the time. Like Kelly said, the lyrics are really inspiring. :heart:

That's equally awful.

That sucks for you Aussies. :\

I visited my dad in the hospital again today after school, and I learned that he also has high blood pressure. He's taking meds for that, so not only can he not have sugar, he can't have salt, either. He also mentioned to me how he couldn't have starches (e.g. potatoes) or bread. On top of that, due to his weight, they've put him on a 1200 calorie diet. His diet is so incredibly restrictive, and it makes me sad. :sad: Thankfully, he also spoke with a dietician today, so he'll have a better idea of what to do with what he can eat.

BRB, dying of laughter.

"Hyper Music" is the worst track on that album. /opinion.

Please do! :cheesy:

Starting tomorrow? OK. That sounds good. I'll do it again. Who knows? I might decide to do some things differently.

The snippets on the video sound good. It doesn't sound like he's making any drastic changes to his sound, but then again, why change something that works?

^^^ LOLWTF. :lol:

I was close. :snobby: :tongue:

Yeah, and it also means that I never will. :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry:

He sounds so cute when he talks. It's unavoidable. :blush:

It's OK, Kelsey. You are being a world of help right now, and that's what I feel like I need right now. What you're sharing with me not only helps me understand what's going on with my dad, it also helps me help him.

I'm not sure yet, honestly. As far as that goes, I haven't been told much of anything.

I read about this on Facebook. :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry:

OK. Hold on. I have to fit this in a spoiler.

You know, Alice, I believe you're right. :D

This coming weekend, I'm off to NACUSA (National Association of Composers in the United States of America) in San Marcos. I'm only going because I'm performing in a brass quintet one of my composer friends wrote. :tongue:

Oh no! I'm sorry about your friend, Tammi. :sad: It's nice that you keep juice for him, though. :hug:

For that first line, I heard more like, "Sunset (something) was in late July." :shrug:

I'm actually already doing this on Facebook. I'm about to post my Day 22 video. With that being said, I'd be interested in posting results here as well, if it's OK.

I'm sorry, Kelsey. :sad: :hug: Thank you so much for all the info. This has been extremely helpful. :hug: BAHAHA. Thanks, Emma. :smiley: UPDATE: I just got off the phone with my mom, who's back at the hospital with my dad. She said he's doing much better, and the doctor said he'd be out some time tomorrow. :D
