I hate when people say "ect." instead of "etc." It stands for et cetera, or ETC for short! NOT ect!

Okay, I feel like this song doesn't get enough appreciation. It started out as a poem written by Tennyson, but then Loreena McKennitt turned it into a song. It is just beautiful - the tune, the instruments, the words, everything. Yes, it is old-fashioned, but Loreena's voice is amazing. I wholeheartedly recommend that you watch this video. Yes, it is 11 minutes long, but you will get caught up in the story. Five stars.

If you're wondering what it's like in my house, here are some things to give you an idea:
-My mom yelled at me the other day for saying "freaking."
-My parents are soooo proud of my sister's team for getting first place in a contest they won by default.
-It takes my mom at least 15 seconds to even respond to anything I ask/say.
-Whenever my sister gets grounded, she "forgets" about it and gets on tech, and when my parents find out, they get mad at her but don't punish her any See More more.

Update on mice:
All of them have died. I'm devastated, and feel as if I have failed them. My parents tell me that I've "done a great thing for these mice" and "made their deaths comfortable." They also say that they will pay me back for the formula.
When the mice died, none of them had opened their eyes yet. They died without even seeing anything. They were eleven days old. R.I.P. Maggie, Layla, Milky Way, Hope, and Twilight. <3 <3

Bill lived in a house less than a mile away from a veterinary clinic that specialized in treating exotic animals for free. One day, Bill came out of his house to see that his jaguar had been attacked. A puddle was seeping out from under it, and it had been slashed and beaten. It was not dead, nor would it die if it were moved. He loved animals with all his heart and would do anything for them, but Bill wouldn't and couldn't take it to the clinic. Why?

@Parabolic YES! Bill didn't take his jaguar to the vet because it was a car that had been scratched up, so why would he take a car to the vet? Good job!

Jennifer came into the police station claiming that while she was at home, a man had broken in and held her at gunpoint. "I remember he had on black boots, sunglasses, and loose jeans," she said, still sobbing from the experience. "I'm sorry; I'm just so shaken up!"
The police called in suspects for a lineup to see if Jennifer could identify the man she claimed had assaulted her. Jennifer immediately pointed one out.
"That's him!" she exclaimed. "I'd recognize those piercing See More blue eyes anywhere!"
The on-duty police officer, Jack, was unsure whether or not to be suspicious. Should he arrest the man? If so, why? Should he call both Jennifer and the man in for further questioning? If so, why? Should he release all the suspects? If so, why?

Layla the mouse and Milky Way the mouse have both died, and I'm pretty sure Hope has, too (although I'm leaving her in for a little bit just to see; sometimes they can be so sluggish that they hardly respond at all.) Twilight is the last living mouse, and my mom says that since all of her siblings died in quick succession, she probably will, too.
