It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like...Spring

Woot! Spring is here, which means one of many things to me.
1. My Birthday! (Of course ;D)
2. Pretty Flowers :D
3. Thunderstorms.
4. Growing stuff!

Yes my birthday is next month...I need to get more driving practice in! My "BFF4L" Emma already has her's...JEALOUS!...This makes me think of one of my pet peeves..UNSAFE DRIVING. I recently drove with one of my newly liscensed friends (Not Emma). He passed his test with a 95% or so...Driving with him, my life flashed before my eyes... I mean, going "OHH A HILL!" and then ACCELERATING is not safe, and is one way to scare the crud out of your friends! (Especially with a stop sign at the bottom of the hill...) He also found great interest in speeding, and blasting his music.  My ears are still ringing..I guess this experience lets me know who I WON'T be driving with anytime soon..

Anyways, today after school I learned the ropes of stage crew in theater...Literally! I learned the FLY (i think is what they call it..) or for all of those tech-dumb people, i learned how to move the curtains and backdrops up and down! Seems easy, but it's really dangerous! Since curtains and stuff are really heavy, you have to have weights on the ropes to balance them out. Now imagine if it were unbalanced, and either the weights or a pole/curtain came crashing down.  That would be very...unsafe.. Anyways, i'll spare you the gory details that I was lectured with for over an hour... (It's very complex!)

2 days....Make that 1 1/2

Yes that's right, only 2 (1 1/2) days until spring break! I'm excited : )..
Mainly for the No school part, considering I'm not going anywhere...

(Ahh I want to go there XP)














(Really bad..)








Anyways! Soo many things on my mind lately!


1. Theater. I am on set crew/tech crew for my school's musical, Once Upon a Mattress, and we get to BUILD stuff! I got to use an electric drill yesterday, I felt really special ;D We also built some flats, which is tech-anese for "rectangles". It was also pretty awkward...it was just me, and three guys.  The tech-director guy, Mr. Kozak, his friend, (I forget his name...) and this guy that's in my grade...And I was like "OK this is fun..." kind of..


2. My birthday. Is next month. I am going to be 16. Yay? Kind of. It scares me. Being 16 means you can drive, work, and become like waay more independent..I have NO idea where to work, and driving scares me XP. I'm actually thinking of working at J.C. Penney..or Target. I do NOT want to work in food industries though..EW! haha.


3. My oldest sister, (Marie), goes to Southwest Baptist University, and is majoring in Music Education.  She plays in the orchestra and sings in the choir (very musically talented ; ) ) ANYWAYS, her choir is going to Austria in the next week or so..NOT FAIR! lol. Actually I'm not too jealous. Well I am, but like a "happy for you jealous". Anyways, have fun in Austria Marie! : )


4. So I'm going to this wedding on Saturday... I have no idea who is getting married..My boyfriend, Evan, is a bridesmaid (Yes, Bridesmaid) and he was like "oh do you want to come?" and I was like "suuure..." so yeah, now I'm going to this wedding. And I won't get to sit with him at the church, or at the reception when we eat..Fun stuff! Ha..Whatever! My "BFF4L" Emma is going to be there. She, is dating Evan (my boyfriend)'s brother. How weird right? I think it's awesome :D


5. Ok here's my favorite artist(s) as of right now:

Stellar Kart

My fav song: We shine

And...

Francesca Battistelli

Fav song: Either "Blue Sky" or "Free to be me"

Check them out!

6. (It's my last one, promise!) OK so being nerdy awesome girl  that I am, I still play my game boy... I call it "embracing my inner child".  I think it is perfectly acceptable for a 15 year old to be playing her game boy. As long as it is not a 24/7 obsession. Anyways, Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver are coming out Sunday, March 14th! I'm excited :D Yes I do play pokemon. Got a problem with it? TOO BAD! haha.

 

Anyways, to all you who do or don't read this completely awesome blog, have a GREAT week to all of you, and Hey! Loosen up and have fun, embrace your inner child like me ; D

P.s. I think I'm gettin good at this blogging thing ;D
P.s.s Don't forget to watch American Idol this week!

Texas: Best Place in the World!

I love Texas. I think that's all i can say. I got to go to Texas this weekend, since my sister had a college inteview and cello audition at Abilene Christian.  I think it's so different from St. Louis, that I just adore it!  Staying with Grandma, eating all the ice cream and bad food I want, the warm weather, (it was at least 67 yesterday!) and just taking a break from reality for awhile..(except for when I have to make up assignments i'm missing in school.....not fun!) I think I like missing 2 days of school the best though! haha. Ooh i also like the outdoor mall ;D that place is awesome...Only bad thing, I come home about 10 lbs heavier. No joke! Grandma has some goooood ice cream (Bluebell Ice cream, by the way, it's the best!) It's terrible, I know..I guess the elliptical will become my new best friend when I get home haha..
Also what's been on my mind, American Idol! I LOVE that show! Who do you like? (If anyone reads this...don't think so but that's ok)
I'm kinda likin...Big Mike and Andrew Garcia :D
Girls, I like Hayley. She's so cute and bubbly : )

Also, I have yet to figure out how to post pictures...so for now, uh my posts will be pictureless!
