Three Trails in the Snow

In German, every Noun is capitalized. Let me know if I miss any.

It's amazing how much Snow can fall in a single Day, and equally amazing how much can melt the following One.

Jenna, Rachelle, and I went tramping through the Snow on Friday, when we had no School, and it was then that one of the best photographic Opportunities I have ever had came up. This one ties with the Sunset and the Mountains on the Beach in Vancouver, and in both Cases I had rather inconveniently been unable to use my Camera. We walked through the Alley between Strathearn and Westminster, from Northview through to Parkside, and when we looked behind us there were three Trails of Footprints in the glistening Snow, Side by Side, filling the entire Alley. Maybe I shall draw that Scene.

And now, for the Nail Problem: My Piano Teacher wants me to cut my Nails. In Fact, he wants me to have no Nails. My Guitar Teacher has told me that it would be great if I filed my Nails, because you can't play any Form of classical/fingerpicking Guitar unless you have Nails on your right Hand.

You Guys have any Suggestions?

One last Thing. I've decided to ask Everyone for my Stuff back. This means you, Kaj. Nine Months in an awfully long Time for Kelsey to wait.

Today I am unlike anything you've ever seen before.

okay, so i almost posted a comment before, except sarah stole the computer and then shut it off and i was never able to really click the 'submit' button but i kind of forgot and kept on thinking that i had already posted said comment BUT -

here i am. commenting. and every word, noun or not, contains NO capitals (except 'no', which was only capitalized for emphasis) because either way, i'm not sure i get this whole noun thing. life's too short for grammar.

and the solution to your problem. which do you like better? guitar? or piano? which TEACHER do you like better? (another capitalization, but again, for emphasis) make your decision based on the yes/no answers of the questions above. c'est simple.

and kaj owes me...er...okay yeah.

Yes, Alicia. Arabic is pretty damn awesome.

Sophia: I just started with my piano teacher, but it's pretty hard to beat Neil. As for which I like best, I couldn't say. I think I'm just going to work out a sort of compromise (piano is the day after guitar, and my nails grow fast).

He owes you...what? I'm tellement curious.

Oh, he owes me...he's had my Jethro Tull CD for awhile.
