I guess having awesome friends means that you're awesome, which means since you think I'm awesome, you're awesome, and vise-versa. Sorry, just a little brain-tumble. ;-)

Congrats to Jed on winning the Superman Trivia Contest! I wish I could've entered, but there was no way I was going to find the time to search for all the answers. Reading the answers was fun though! I'm curious about the movies now.

So, what are y'all going to Arizona for? If you don't mind my asking. :-) I look forward to seeing y'all someday, whenever that dream can be realized.

I'll hopefully have a post up in a little while about last Friday. Wait 'til you see! ;-D

Yea! I got 12 right!!!!!!!! :-D
You said that the answer to why his parents sent him to earth was that Krypton was going to explode, but you also said "and to save Earth from the same destruction". What do you mean by that?

After some extensive calculations, my sister (vintagegirl) and I came to the conclusion that we very possibly might, and then maybe not, live closer to you than we thought. We had a fall party planned, so we couldn't come to your party - but I am looking forward to seeing the pictures! Its no surprise that you are the most popular blogger! You are so fun!

Happy belated birthday!

I have never watched Superman. Can you believe that?! : ) Well, I've seen a little bit of Smallville and a little of the old Superman but not the new one. Is it good? Is all those pictures of Superman from the new movie?

I wasn't sure if you knew I was Sarah's sister. That was really nice of you to say that about Sarah. I know she really likes you, too. : )

What A Girl Wants is a great movie. My favorite! : )
Well, have a wonderfully "WARM" blessed day and weekend!

lots of hugs,
Jordan Lee

Hey Amanda!

Just thought you might like to read this. We have a friend who just started her freshman year of college in Idaho and she recently posted a declamation she wrote for school. And the theme was.....Superman!
Here's the url in case you're interested: http://cousinkate.blogspot.com/2007/10/im-ba-ack.html. It's very short. My sister and I thought it was pretty good and obviously I couldn't help thinking of you when I read it. ;-) At any rate, I thought you might find it at least somewhat interesting. :-)
