So as some of you may know, I help teach the youngest dance class in my mom's studio. One of them is spoiled and needs attention. Usually when she's moody I just leave her alone and when she realizes she's not getting attention, she just stops.
But today she started crying, and my mom told me to see what she needed. So I asked, "Are you okay? Do you need anything?"
"It hurts..." (by the way, how she says 'hurts' is 'hoats.')
"... what??"
"It hurts!"
"Oh... Well, what hurts?"
"My tongue."
"Your... tongue?"
"My tongue."
"Oh. Well, I'm sorry your tongue hurts."
Long story short, she went home because of slight Strepp.

My internet's been down for the past week, and when I checked my email today four of the five new messages were from teachers.

So this morning StuCo was handing out breakfast tacos, free for those who gave blood...

...insert random title here...
Invisi, did you go to the whatever-it-was thing at your school today (Saturday)?
Cause I was performing yo-yo there.
Anyway, what I really don't like is when random kids come up and think that we're just... there and brought our yo-yos along for other people to play with... then they're all "can I try?" and it takes up SO much practice time. ARGH!!!!!

Nathan's Marching Band State Competition
So, sadly, we just found out that Nathan's marching band didn't make State semi-finals.
They're now at the State Competition in San Ant.
Oh, well... last time they made State was 20+ years ago. :(

American History
So today in American History we had a food party. It was supposed to be a colonial food party, but it turned out to be more like 'food in general' such as breakfast tacos, chips, and cookies.
Nikki brought venison summer sausage and I brought root beer. Here's the list of other stuff that people brought--

- tortilla chips
- salsa
- cornbread and butter
- Mexican fruit cake
- orange juice
- sweet cinnamon hardtack
- beef jerky
- shortbread pastries that no one really cared for
- beans
Then tomorrow we're having a 'party' in Study Hall because twelve days we had our supplies... it took us two semesters to do it!!!! But Mrs. Morin's idea of 'party' is "quietly sit at your desks and whisper silently." No. NOT the definition of party. Hello, can we at least go outside?? Argh.
My dad's talking to my mom on the phone now... she just told him if Nathan made finals for state... he's still talking... *nervous!* ...by the way, her and Nathan are at State Marching competition in ...he's saying bye... wait for it... I asked... NO!!!!!!!!... THEY DIDN'T GET TO FINALS!!!! :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

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! :)
