It's stupid how I haven't posted in a long time. Sorry about that... I'll try to post more often, but please forgive me if I don't. It's very stressful, this school thing. And since I post kind of rarely now, I often forget I even HAVE a blog, which is kind of stupid as well. Anyway, moving on with life, here is a list of important stuff that has happened since I last posted (When was that, anyway?):
1. Choir audition. It went all right, I guess.
2. Brother got his eagle award. Hooray! I remembered the names of ALL of the Eagle scouts because they were ALL in the same den in second grade and I was always tagging along with them (and because their names were printed in the program thing). And now they're eagle scouts. YAY!
3. We're singing Queen in chorus. I think I've said that several times before now, but it's SO AWESOME that I'm saying it again. I'm PSYCHED!
4. We're also singing a Beatles medley with all the rest of the choirs. There are seriously like fifteen songs in that entire thing. It's awesome.
5. I get to die in the epic fight in the all-grades show. It's kind of annoying and kind of funny at the same time. And painful. Have YOU ever gotten jabbed in the ribs, had your wrist broken, got kneed in the head, fallen over, and gotten "kicked in the face" twenty times during a single rehearsal? Yeah, thought so. But it is still kind of fun. Except for the whole dying thing.
And it's stage fighting, so the only thing that really hurts is when I fall over, and it minorly hurts when my fighting partner kicks me in the hands (NOT the face. It's a cool stage fighting trick thing. Keep the hands in front of the face and react when their foot makes contact with your hands. If you do it right, it'll make a noise and everyone will be surprised when you stand up without a big bruise on your chin).
Well, I have to go to creative writing now. We watched Spirited Away, which happens to be my new favorite movie (apart from Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean). And now we're doing random stuff.
Goodbye for now.

okay, moving on with life
Okay, Philadelphia trip:
I woke up at 4:45, and the bus departed at 6:30. We sang in a mall, went shopping, ate lunch, then we went to the Nationals/ Phillies game. The Nationals won. It was awesome, except for the part where a drunk Phillies fan threw a beer bottle at us. We went on a Ghost Tour after the game, which was really cool but kind of creepy. I went on pretty much the same tour after sixth grade, but it was still cool. After that, we went to the hotel for the first time, and then we went to bed. The people in my room, at least, talked for quite a while before going to bed. I was rooming with three eighth graders, but I still had fun with them.
The next morning, we woke up at 6:30 and went to breakfast at 7. At 8:30, we went on a tour that wasn't really a tour, and then we went to lunch. Then we went to the music clinics. My choir went last, and we only had like ten minutes to perform and get critique for one of our songs. It was really annoying, but the guy doing the critiques was really cool. After that, we went back to the hotel to change and then we could go to another shopping opportunity if we wanted. I went, just because, but it was really lame- just tourist trap type stuff. Then we went to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner, and then we went to a concert by the Philadelphia Orchestra. They were REALLY good, especially the pianist who did Beethoven's 2nd concerto. Anyway, then we went back to the hotel, then we went to sleep.
The next morning, we woke up, ate breakfast, and then I came back, taught my friend how to knit, and then my body decided that it didn't like sausage and puked it back up again. I was able to make it to the toilet before it came out, though, which was really lucky. Anyway, then we went to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and then we went to lunch on this cruise thing at which I got a noise headache because it was really loud. Then we went to the Franklin Institute of Science Museum, and then we went to Dave and Buster's for dinner and gaming and stuff, where my headache worsened, and then the bus took us back home.
Overall, I had a LOT of fun. I think that, comparing to Atlanta, I'm not entirely sure which I liked better - both were really fun.

OOOOHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Pie rocks. I just wanted to say that. Continue with life. Sorry..... moving right along...
I'm trying to get in more posts, you see.
Yes, I did have caffeine. Can you tell?

And....
My music book that my mom got me for my birthday finally came. I am super psyched about it. My Elvish books haven't come yet, though. I don't know where they are. But whatever. I'm using them for my English project, you see. Elvish, Elvis, and Broadway- that's what the project entails. Tolkien Elvish is what I'm going to be doing- I'm in LOVE with Tolkien's languages. And guitar strings are involved as well. Anyway, I'm going to go now and play with my broadway book..... :D
lack of posting is very stupid.
I know, I haven't posted since my birthday. I've been out of town with my school's music department these last three days and too busy to actually remember to post. We went to Philadelphia for the music trip and had beer bottles thrown at us by angry Phillies fans when we cheered for the Nats at the game on Friday. And I puked for the first time in about five years on Saturday. Pleasant, right? Well, it was on the last day, and it was only once, so it was fine. I think it was because my breakfast didn't settle right. Anyway, I will TRY and post more often now that I am back at home and my schedule is hopefully not as terrifying as it was last week. I will do a proper Philly update when I do not have three days' worth of chemistry and math homework to make up. And sleep to catch up on. And stuff like that. But anyway, it SHALL happen at some point or another. Hopefully. I think. Maybe. Anyway, I'm going to go now to hang out and do my math homework for lessons I didn't learn. FUN!

Birthday!!
Yes, it's my birthday today. No, I'm NOT going to tell you how old I am. It still kind of feels weird, though. I mean, at this time last year I was flunking my lifeguard test and feeling horrid about myself. This year's a lot better, partly because I have no lifeguarding class to feel horrid about, and partly because today's a SATURDAY and I LOVE Saturdays, and partly because it's sunny and nice out and I finally was able to paint my own nails without doing a terrible job. Yes, they're a weird color. They're neon orange. Yes, orange. Yes, neon. Yes, you've told me lately how weird you think I am.
Anyway, I'll have you know that I finished the journal that I was trying to complete so desperately over Lent, so I have FINALLY been able to move on. It feels really good to be able to finally not have to write like twenty pages a day in order to finish a freaking journal. So that's quite a relief. I have to go now, but I'll try to post later, after my mini-party. It's just a couple of friends, and we're going to an improv comedy show that we go to a lot. It's fairly awesome.
Okay, going now.

So...
My birthday is on Saturday. I'm not sure whether or not I'm excited about this. I just realized how OLD I am. Okay, I'm not as old as my dad, but still. I FEEL kind of old, you know? It's the same feeling I got in 5th grade when I realized that the largest class the school had ever seen was also the oldest, as of that year. EEK! Well, I guess the good thing is that I'll be able to drive in September. Most people have an EPIC birthday party for this age's birthday, but I'm not. I don't know why. I just don't want to. I'm not the EPIC BIRTHDAY PARTY type of person, you know? I'm just inviting the same five friends that I always invite (I would invite one more, but she currently lives in Australia) and going to the same place that we have gone for most of middle school for my birthday, and then sugaring violets, which we have done since I was 4. Seriously. It's not that I overly enjoy tradition (okay, maybe a little, but I'm not as bad as my dad), but there is not a lot to do for people my age where we live, you know?
So... yeah.
So... yeah.
