Halloween

Tonight is Halloween and we are hiding in our houses from the trick-or-treaters.
Yeah, someone rang our bell but we didn't open!

Night Stalkers!

Last night from about 9:00 to maybe 10:45 my cousin and I were outside in my front yard. She was 'Secret Agent #1' and I was 'Secret Agent #2.' We each had one shoe for our 'communicating devices.' Then we stalked people and ran out into the street and said random stuff like "America needs more ninjas!"
Anyway... it all ended when I had to go inside to make a cookie cake. :(

Skipping Schooltime!

Okay, so as some of you know, Sam and I had a dance performance during school. I actually got out of class at 1:30, but my mom wan't there yet, so I waited in the high school office. Then it got really awkward because it was just Mrs. Tincan, me, and her fish, so I went to Mr. Plard's room. He was eating a green burrito the color of his shirt. Then my mom showed up and we picked Sam up from her Spanish class and we got signed out.
Then we drove for about ten minutes to the area. It took a while to find but we eventually got there. Some Mexican mariachi band was playing and singing really badly. In one of the songs they sounded like Mexican ninjas. We got our costumes on and walked over to the place where we were going to perform. Then we met up with Mrs. Snowy. She was going to be the back of the cow in our dance (don't ask) but she was wearing a dress and tights. The conversation between her and my mom went somewhat like this:
"Um... You know you're going to be dancing with us, right?"
"Yeah! I think I remember the moves... I'm going to be at the end of the cow, right?"
"Yes, but you're wearing tights and a dress. Cows don't wear tights."
"Oh, they can see our legs?"
Anyway, some people playing Chinese Pianos were before us in the program, so we watched them. There was a little nine year old boy who was actually pretty good. Meanwhile, I was failing at practicing my yoyo.
Then it was our turn. I was going to go first, but Mrs. Snowy, who was introducing us, said that my mom's Tai Chi was first. Which was wrong. So we corrected her and she started randomly saying wrong facts about the Chinese Yoyo.
I started my yoyo up, despite the sun that was really bright. Then they kept playing snippets of the wrong music, in and order that it sounded like Chinese techno music. Plus I was right by the hugs speakers which must have been turned to the max, so it was really loud. After a while, Mrs. Snowy says to the crowd, "I'm sorry, we're experiencing technical difficulties."
Then I was told that I had to use some other music because for some reason the song wouldn't play. So I started and was just doing random tricks. Which my mom tried to commentate on. Didn't work.
They seemed really happy, so I just kept, well... yoyo-ing. The light was blinding, let me tell you! But I didn't drop it and I was happy. So I did well.
Then my mom did her Tai Chi Sword thing...
And then it was time for Sam and my dance! We got into our spots, and there were more technical difficulties. Finally we got it to work.
It was good until the time we were supposed to get the cow. They weren't even IN the cow costume. So we just kind of did more improvising dancing, then went on to get the cow.
When we were pulling it to the stage they were still getting their head on. Then they stopped right at the corner, so we were just like "um, okay" and went with it. The rest of the dance was okay...
The we ate! Yay! We had brisket sandwiches, chips, and a cookie. We ate in the sun and watched this guy play the bagpipes. He had on a man-skirt (okay, it was a kilt), a beret (aren't those French?), and a knife stuck in his sock. Then when he walked past us we could see that he had a mohawk cut! HAHA!
Then we left and came back to school. :( So Sam could take her Biology test.

DRAMA RESULTS!!!!!!!

I am so happy I got the part that I wanted!!
I'm Louise, the second main character. Yesterday during auditions I was Louise and Leigh was Allie, and we worked really well together...
And so she got the main part of Allie (Alan)... and I guess I'm kind of sad but she did want it more than I did. It's on of the first times a seventh grader got THE main part.

NJHS Ceremony

So... today... I wore my black dress for the NJHS Ceremony. The morning was pretty uneventful, but then at 11:30, jsut a little bit into 4th period, we got to leave. I was in Jello's car, and we didn't really talk. Her dad had a C.C. of music from the '60s on and was singing along. Okay, he may be a model, but he's definitely not a singer!
Then we got to Cold Stream, and we were the first ones (besides the official people) to get there. The whole restaurant was decorated with spiders and rather disturbing decorations. Then we got to our big formal room, where our chocolate mousse cake was already set out on the table.
Nikki and Hale came shortly after, and we chose our seats. Then I noticed that the cake for the seat across from me was bigger than my slice, so I nudged them until I had the bigger piece. Which I really regretted later.
There was also bread and butter on the table, which was really good. Actually, I think it was just the butter that was good. The bread was average. Nikki ate half the loaf for our part of the table... That's a lot of bread.
Anyway, after a lot of official-sounding talk, we were served our lunch. It was heart-shaped chicken chipotle that was really tender, 'smashed' potatoes flavored slightly with garlic, and buttered asparagus. I ate all of it, but I was the only who did. Syd ate her chicken, one asparagus, and left about three spoonfuls of potatoes. Nikki left about a spoonful of potatoes and all her asparagus. Then she started to eat her cake. Then when she was done, she asked the adults for their bread. So overall she ate probably more than a whole loaf.
I was still on my cake at that point. It was really good at first, but I would have preferred ice cream... It was good, though. Until I got to about more than half. Then I started feeling like I was going to throw up. I barely got through because I didn't want to leave anything. (I feel guilty when I do.) Then I thought I could not ever see that cake anymore, especially the white stuff. Just then I see Hale scoop up all the white mousse on her fork and shove it into her mouth.
After the rather boring speeches we saw the officers try to remember their speeches about the candles. It was really amusing because they couldn't remember what they were supposed to say.
Nothing else really happened...
We ended, took pictures outside, and we went back to the school. Jello and I talked more about getting our roles in the play. Then we got back to school and since I had art in 7th period, I got to wear a huge t-shirt serving as an apron. Yay! I also finished my abstract landscape painting.
Anyway, in band, Fizzy had guaze wrapped around her hand because she hurt it playing soccer. She was complaining that it hurt, but refused to tell Mr. Pollard.
Then I was signing to Leigh how many minutes until the bell rang because we were excited about seeing our drama audition results.

I Feel Like Cinderella!

Okay, strange title... but...
So tomorrow's our NJHS Induction Ceremony, and I have the perfect black dress. It's casually formal. I love it!
But-- I didn't have any shoes. And I realized this at 8:45 p.m.
SO... we go to Kohl's first. I'm surprised I didn't find anything.
Next stop: Shoe Carnival. I found a perfect pair of black shoes were... I don't know. I liked them. Let's see... How do you drescribe them? Black, thin strips of leather that kinda went in between the toes... I really liked them... Although I couldn't walk in them because they had heels about 1 1/2 inches tall. The thing is, they were $40. So, of course, we went to the next store.
Target: very bad selection of shoes for my taste. All too... girly. Like... way girly.
Walmart (I SORRY, it was the last choice!): I found a pair that looked okay, but it would be better on a forty year old lady. Then we found another one... That was perfect! Yay!
So we got them.
Of all the places we went we got them at Walmart. *applause*
Anyway, the main point is, don't ever go shoe shopping for dress shoes. It doesn't work and is incredibly frustrating because everything's either like hiking high heels or zebra-striped boots.
That's all I have for now. Good night! :)

3--2--1-- BLAST OFF!!!

Okay, not that exciting...
But I started my science experiment of finding out where rock candy grows the best: in light, in average light, and in no light.
But I haven't put the string in cause it needs to dry...
And we need to show her entries on our log book on Friday... and I only have one!

Crime Scene

Now if you go down to the long jump, you will notice that there is a crime scene.
Why?
Someone had a big party (probably graduate students) Friday night (our guess) and burned up the pole vault rope, burned the crates on the high jump cushions, turned the cushions around, and stole one of the high jump pole measuring stands.
Nikki, Hale, and I discovered this while we went down to the long jump pit to practice. We actually mainly went for the rope, but discovered it burnt up and black. With ashes and bottles/cans scattered everywhere.
Then we asked Sladz what happened, and we showed him. He got all... "uh oh" and we told Mr. Moore, who was surprisingly calm.

I'm scared.

Pizza Plardz

So some of you might know that Mr. Plard and his friend went to a restaurant to take on a challenge to eat a 28" pizza in less than 30 minutes.
Apparently, his friend ordered bacon for a topping, and... there was a lot of bacon. And it was filling. So his friend gave up very early and left Plard to finish.
Which he didn't, sadly...
His wife was telling him to swallow and not chew, but that would choke him, wouldn't it?
And other people were playing "Beat It" by Michael Jackson but it was changed up by Wierd Al Yanchovick to "Eat It."
Anyway.
He didn't finish the pizza. Sadly.
And meanwhile I was failing with my orchestra.

Another Drama Audition

Unfortunately, Guineapig is getting better, although it's still pretty painful to watch.
Willies is also auditioning for the main part, but she's a seventh grader and... yeah. Seventh grader.

Gabriel

Gabe is my new pumpkin given to me by Sam.
He is about 3 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide. (The numbers 4 and 5 didn't sound right, so I decided to be more precise!)
He was on my shoulder all day today!
Gabe!!!!!!!!!!
He's here now.
ssdfghjkljhtfgdsdfghjkhfgsda
And just typed that.
Bye!
byer (that's Gabriel's version of bye)

Fall Fest!!

As you know, the fall festival is coming up soon. Tomorrow.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drama Audition Update

So today I heard a lot of people say that they would argue with Mrs. C if I didn't get the part of Alan. I wonder where this is going.
But Bookworm made a good point: Guineapig was inconsistent with his acting, so maybe he got callbacks because Mrs. C wanted to know how Alan's character would be if she chose Guineapig.
GARLL!!!!!!!!!

Dramedy Auditions

So Lamb said that I did really well in my audition for Alan. Guineapig, on the other hand-- not so well. Unless 'good' is reading off the script with no emotion and having at least two seconds of pause between every word. But Mrs. C had him do the Alan part for the other people's auditions... He's probably going to get chosen cause his dad's Ricky Guineapig and if the Woods of Brent can please his family, they're going to give a lot of money.
Have you guys noticed stuff like this going on at school?

Creepy Song

'Break My Heart,' the new song in chapel, is kinda creepy but at the same time really good. I like the melody of the chorus, but's it's just... kind of... I don't know... creepy.
And for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, it's a song that's main chorus says:
"My heart is hard
my soul so weak.
The ways of evil
cut so deep.
I need you, Lord
to come inside
and gently break my heart."
It just kind of scares me at the same time.

Flute Student

My first flute student (okay, I didn't get paid) got first chair on her first chair test!

Dramady Auditions!

I'm going for the main part (Alan) in the play (although if I get the part I'll rename it Alice) AND- I have only one person who's auditioning for the part. It's McGuinneaPig, and I'm not sure he's a good actor. Hollings is also going for it... But he's a 7 grader and they don't choose them for the main parts.
I know all my lines... I hope I do well!

Enemies

You know how the Bible says we should love our enemies?
Meaning that we CAN have enemies? We have permission to have enemies. As long as we love them... right?
What are your opinions on that?

--Just a little thought for today...

AWESOME KEYBOARD

We have a new keyboard that is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!!!!!!!!

Extra Credit

Dramedy

So in Drama we're doing our play... This is a Test by Stephen Gregg.
When we were reading it through the first day, Ash was the main character. It was okay... But now she's all "I'm gonna be the main character! Sorry to ruin your hopes!" to everyone.
But Gary was worse today! Literally! I mean it was like (imagine this in monotone) "And... I... Don't... Even... Know.... um........ Know... um..... oh!....... know anything."

Random Complaints About Band...

Why does Mr. Pollard always not like me talking about my violin and piano? I mean, I don't even mention them often, but when I do he just goes "cool" and walks off.
I say- "I tried my flute music on my violin" and he just goes away.
Min says- "I play violin!" Mr. Pollard- ":) Yay! Can you play for our high school band?? :)"
And not trying to be critical, but that guy can't even tune his violin. Seriously, all I hear is squeaks. No power, no sound, no music!
Another example...
I say- "Can I play the piano?" Mr. Pollard- "Um... no. Not enough time."
Jacob O says- "Hey, Mr. Pollard, is there a piano part for this music? Cause I play the piano." *hint hint- he only can play one repetitive song* Mr. Pollard- "Hey, yeah! I can get it to you! Thanks!"

Sorry you had to listen to me erupt about that...

Sad

I am sad because I have forever lost contact of my best online and only online (meaning I don't know the, in real life) friend.
Jestar, you know... Kidinthewindow deleted her account.

Cormy Takes the Podium

So today because Mr. P was with the 7th graders on their retreat, high school band was directed by Cormy. Warning- Cormy does NOT conduct well!
It was really funny cause Bailey was trying to help him but it was an epic fail...
And the substitute OW MY CAT JUST TOOK A HUGE BITE OF MY ARM talked in a high pitched voice and was very Patty-like.Eek.

*Awkward Silence*

Today this kid in church raised his hand and flat out said, "Just in case some of you know, I don't believe in God. I don't care what you think about me, that's your problem. And if you'll criticize me, you're being hypocritical, cause you're supposed to be trying to help me."
...*awkward silence*...
Teacher: "Um... so what were the games we linked to our lessons in the past weeks?" trying to move the subject...

FOR INVISI!!!!!!!!

Invisi, Ch1k3n saw you at the Marching Band Competition! Cause your busses were parked together...
Wait, does Invisi even go on the blogs anymore? Cause her school has a lot of homework... While Ch1k3n is still having loads of free time to play his little airplane simulator stuff...

Marching Band News!!

YAY CH1K3N'S MARCHING BAND GOT FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!!! WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
...sorry, Invisi, your band got... one... trophy... I think...
But another school got 3 trophies!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, so did Ch1k3n's but...
So Ch1k3n's band got-
Outstanding percussion (which my mom helped with! It had an Asian theme so they used Asian drums)
Outstanding color guard (flag and baton people)
1st place overall.
And the Asian theme- they all looked kinda like Sumarai warriors and did little dance things and ended in Ninja positions!

XC Meet

So today there was a Cross Country meet... And, just for those who don't know, the ones in my team are Lewz, Hale, Mango, and Bekk. We actually had time to walk the whole course, then our race started. And the race was pretty uneventful. Except for the fact that one girl passed out and an ambulance and fire truck was sent.
But after it, we went to cheer on the boys, and since we were happy we decided to cheer ALL of them on. And a lot from random schools just looked at us wierd, some said "Thanks," and this one guy near the back saw Hale hold her hand out so he slapped our hands and said, "I don't know you, but okay!"
Then when the last few passed, Hale and Lewz started running alongside them while Bekk and I walked. Then a creepy tall blonde guy with his friend came toward us with a stalk of a lavender flower.
"Look, I got something for you!"
"Um... no thanks..."
"But it's for you!"
"Um... no..."
Then he turns to me.
"You want it?"
"Um, not really..."
"You sure?"
"Um... Yeah... I don't want it..."
"Mkay."
...
"CREEPY!!!!!!!!!!"
It was wierd. Scary people.
Then we watched the high school races. The only thing funny was when Pando crossed the finish line, he kept sprinting and we couldn't find him for a long time.
And a guy started spitting up that gunk stuff (I mean, it was a LONG string, more than a foot long, about half an inch wide, and had a tint of yellow... gross!) and his coach just used her hand to swipe it off. EWWWWWWWWWW!
And then I had to go to dance class. Although I was 30 minutes late.
Dance class after cross country race= NEVER DO AGAIN!!

Weight Room

So after Cross Country practice ended early today, Hale, Lewz, and I stayed back and creeped out the guys in the weight room. Like we said, 'brocolli!' in wierd accents and followed them to the water fountain and watched them drink water... Then we had a plan that Hale would do a wierd dance, Lewz would go 'Can I touch your muscle??' really girly, and I had to stick to the 'brocolli' thing. Didn't work. RyanBrunz came out and none of us started, so we started to laugh really hard and crazy and he just stood there for a long time and just watched us... and we kept laughing cause his expression was so funny... clueless eyes and his mouth was hanging open...
Then Lewz left and Hale and I continued wierding out other high schoolers. Except for Withey. I respect him. He's a really good actor, and my preacher's son... so yeah... Don't my preacher thinking I'm wierd. ANYWAY. Pando came down the stairs with that short, spiky-brown haired Asian guy and I said, "brocolli." And the spiky haired guy started to laugh. Cause Hale was trying to squirt hand sanitizer on Pando. And I was saying 'brocolli.' Then he just asked, "Um... Are you okay?"
It. Was. FUN.
