no noise

So yesterday I lost my voice. Pretty bad too. I could talk raspily, couldn't sing, and it hurt to swallow. It was a mess. So today I put myself on total personal vocal rest until about from 8:00-2:30. And it just so happened that today was coop. So it was interesting. For French I just listened but for other classes I had to write stuff down. It was kinda cool actually, but it is soooo hard for me not to talk for more than 5 minutes. So I really struggled. My voice still hurts now, but you know. It's a whole heck of a lot better.

OH YA!! yesterday and the day before was Allie's birthday party! It was fabulous. I had a ton of fun! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLY! Again. teehee. I have had two sleepovers in the past few days. So fun! :D

PFO retreat weekend was nothing short of FABULOUS! So much work being a secretary, but not as much as the teen exec or chairs. So I'm good. And I can finally announce to the public that I am priviledged to be secretary of the fabulous SILENT AUCTION COMMITTEE! Now this is where stuff gets interesting. If you guys or anyone you know, would be interested in donating some high value items, PLEASE CONTACT ME!!!! I mean ni ce stuff though. Not the junk you find in your closet that has been handed down twenty times. You will be such a help to PFO, and to the kids that we're working with.

Yesterday was my first CTC class of the year and it's going to be great. SUPER intensive though. I don't know how I'm going to juggle all the things in my life this year. I'm so busy, but I love it. Tomorrow was going to be voice, but I think we're cancelling since my voice still isn't in the prettiest shape. We'll see.

OH YEAH! And we're doing Halloween this year, and I know what I'm being! A FLAPPER!! All ready got the dress. It's going to be soooo fab!

So, I think that it's completely appropriate that I close with the new PFO cheer for my song! It's sort of a copying cheer. Hence the parenthesis! :D

"I said a-PFO! (I said a-PFO!)
I said a-PFO! (I said a-PFO)
I said a-chilling with our buddies and a-making love grow! (I said a-chilling with our buddies and a-making love grow!)
Uh-huh! (Uh-huh!)
Make that change! (Make that change!)
I said a-PFO! (I said a-PFO)
I said a-PFO (I said a-PFO!)
I said a-working on committees, on a journey we'll go! (I said a-working on committees, on a journey we'll go!)
OOOOOOOH!!!
Make that change, PFO! Make that change, PFO! Make that change, PFO! Make that change, PFO!!! WOOOO!"

Stay posted for picturess!), church, birthday parties, my CTC CLASS!!! more birthdays, and voice lessons, and  Aaaah! My fabulously busy life. I love it!

Run aways

Today I will be doing another post for my literature class in coop. We are reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. And I'd like to compare Jim's escape to "freedom" to Huck's escape to "freedom".
    First off, we'll start with Huck. Huck was being held by his drunk dad, who was practically imprisoning him. He would not let Huck out of the house unless he needed Huck to do something for him. But he would never let Huck out of the woods that they were secluded in.
    Jim on the other hand, was actually a slave, but his mistress, Miss Watson, gave him a lot of freedom. He was able to have his own money and invest it in whatever he wanted. He was even aloud to go places sometimes.
    So, I would like to venture that Jim was actually more free than Huck. It took more effort for Huck to escape, and even then, he had to make people think that he had died. Jim, he just walked away.
    But, in my opinion, even though they seem to be free from their past ailments, they are not all together free. They still have to hide way on an island for fear of getting caught. They are not aloud to show their faces to anyone who might recognize them. Their lives are really quite restricted. Maybe even more so than before they escaped. At least for Jim.
    Their escapes really showed some of their personality too. Huck, underneath all of his superstitions, is actually a really smart kid. He made people think that he was killed by robbers, when really he had just left. Jim is smart, but I don't think quite as witty as Huck. His superstitions get the best of him, and that's all he really knows and believes. Jim, just saw a chance to leave, and did. He knew everyone would know he ran away, but that was okay with him.
   So, I would like to conclude that Huck's escape showed that even though he wasn't actually a slave, he was enduring more slavery than Jim. He had to really work just to, well, leave.

♥ little kids!!

Okay, so I love working in Children's Ministry at my church because the kids are just so darn hilarious!!! It was the first time that I've helped in the three year old's class since the new kids have come in and they were all sooooo funny! Seriously, whether it was Naomi dancing with me during worship and chasing me around the room with a puppet frog, or Phillip singing Veggie Tales songs to me. I just loooove them!

For my quote I'll do the song that the kids sang during worship! lolsauce!

"The lions may grow weak and hungry! (rawr!) The lions may grow weak and hungry! (rawr!) The lions may grow weak and hungry! (rawr!) But those who seek the Lord lack no good thing."

ARGH!

So last night I watched Coraline and it was REALLY good. It was a lot creepier than I was imagining it to be. I mean a LOT creepier, but I loved it! :) I would deffinately reccomend it to anyone who like incredible movies. Hahaha! I love Tim Burton movies soooooo much. He's a creepyfabulous genius!

So today is National Talk Like a Pirate Day. So....ummm...Yoho! Best be talkin' like a pirate or you'll be walkin' the plank, mateys. I don't know...hahahahha! :)

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

mmkay! So check out this awesome HARRY POTTER theme park area that's being built inside Universal Studios in Orlando. It's going to be the only one in the world!! They're making it with the help of J. K. Rowling and the designers and stuff from the Harry Potter movies. I am such a big Harry Potter nerd that it's not even funny! I really hope I can go sometime. IT OPENS IN THE SPRING!!! OMGSAUCE!! I want to buy myself some Bertie Bott's Every-Flavor Beans at Honeydukes and a wand at Ollivanders!!!! It's so exciting I think I might cry. Lol! :)

So I know I all ready did a Relient K song, but they're so good, I have so many songs, and this just fit perfectly!

"Cause theme parks are so much more fun when the sun's outside. Oh na, na, na, na, na. I lost my phone to the lake beneath the Batman ride. Oh na, na, na, na!"

and all that jazz...

Today was coop. It's a lot of funnn! I got to hang out out with the younger girls who are purty rockin! Also I had voice lessons today. We're working on jazz. I'll put some lyrics to the song I sang for my quote! :) And TONIGHT IS THE SEASON PREMIERE OF FRINGE!! I get hooked on soooo many TV shows. Especially fabulously nerdy Scifi shows. I get it from my daddy! LOVE YOU! Anywhooo..I can't wait because...I mean....now we know that Peter's from another DIMENSION! I mean, I suspected it all along...but OMG! lol. Ya'll probably have no idea what I'm talking about! :)

wooooow!

Second day in a row that I've posted two times! Heehee! But I just had to say it! SYTYCD is on again tonight. I'm pretty sure. LAst time I was wrong. But someone is a little crazzzy bout that show. Guess who? ME!! Hahahaha!! Anywhooooo you can't get enough So You Think You Can Dance!!

EEEEEEP!!! Seriously though. I highly recomend this show. Even for those of you who don't like cheesy reality shows. I'll go far enough to say that it is DEFINATELY better than American Idol. It's not like Dancing With th Stars where they do ballroom and (no offense to anyone who likes it, this is juts my opinion) not incredibly well. These people are just...omigorsh...incredible!!!! Have I made my point clear? lol! :P

GENIUS!!

Okay. So I have to do this crosspost for my literature class at coop. I had to choose one other person from my class to make a post about a post that they made. I know, confusing, but bear with me. Anyways, I chose to post about Steven's. That kid is like a little genius! I never thought that way when I was his age! He blogged about his idea of truth. I completely agree with everything that he said here. His idea of sin not wanting us to be happy? Again, may I say, GENIUS!! But can I add to that thought? Sin doesn't want us to be happy in a Godly way, true. But it gives us the temptation to find happiness in a material way. So sin does offer "happiness", but not the happiness that God wants us to have. Thanks, Steven for such an insightful post! :)

Okay. So I know I all ready posted today...buuuut! I needed to share this. I just found the most gigantic black widow in me garage! It was HUGE!! I was tooo scared to get close to it, so my sister took the pics with my camera. Oh, and since I all ready posted today I don't need to put a quote do I? Anyways here they are!

buckets of birthdays

okay...so I know of FOUR people with birthdays in the next couple weeks! That's A LOT when you want to buy presents for all of them! But anyways, my mum's birthday was yesterday! Happy belated birthday, Mommy!! and my brother and sister's are later in the month. Then my friend Sarah's. So yesterday I went out and spent allll my money. But it was worth it! I also bought myself some new shortsss. Good stuffs! :) Last night I watched Dreamgirls for the first time. Yes, the first time. All you CTC kids, don't judge. lolsauce. I liked it. Some pretty incredible singing.

"Oh oh oh, woke up today. Feeling the way I always do. Oh oh oh, hungry for somethingthat I can't eat. Then I hear that beat. That rhythm of town starts calling me down. It's like a message from high above. Oh oh oh, pulling me out to the smiles and the streets that I love!"

Had a great time yesterday for the part of the church picnic that I could actually go to. But it was okay leaving because the PFO meeting was INCREDIBLE! Unfortunately, I can't tell you anything about it. It's Top Secret! Ssssshhhh!! Wish I could. :)

Things NOT on TV and such

Okay...sooo...SYTYCD was NOT on last night. Which was really annoying bc I was expecting it to be, but the football game was on the other channel and no one's gonna watch a dance show when there's a football game...aside from me...*sigh* But the season finale of Fringe from last year was on, and I hadn't seen it so I watched that. I am SUCH a huge Scifi geek. Season two starts next weeeek! :)anywhoooo...There's Youth Group tonight at church and that'll be fun. We haven't had a meeting in like...MONTHS!! So I'm excited. I ♥ Youth Group. Umm...not much else happening here. OH YEAH!!! My kitty has like superpowers. I'm not lying. She's Mighty Kitten. Seriously, she's pretty coolioliscious. She like can run up walls and is faster than a speeding bullet. She does backflips off of my legs....ya. 




Welllls here's the quote!


"We should get jerseys, cause we'd make a good team. But yours would look better than mine, cause you're out of my league. And I know that it's so cliche to tell you that everyday I spend with you is the new best day of my life. Everyone watching us just turns away with disgust. It's jealousy, they can see that we've got it going on!"

I honestly don't have anything to say...but I promised I would try to post. So let's seee...hmmmm...I think I'll just ramble. You don't have to read this if you don't want to. Okay ummm....SYTYCD was good.  It's on again tonight at 8 on Fox for anyone who wants to watch it. Right now they're just auditioning. It really is incredible. I ♥ IT! I wish I could dance like that. Most of the really good people were contemporary girls though. Not many other styles made it through...although actually there were 3 tappers who made it. That's a lot. Ummm....tomorrow is youth group. Excited for that. First real meeting in like....months! So it should be great. That's really it. Sorry for boring you! Now for the song lyric of the day. Here it is:

"I'm just a little bit caught in the middle. Life is a maze and love is a riddle. I don't know where to go. Can't do it alone, I've tried and I don't know why."

So You Think You Can Dance (dance, dance, dance, dance)!!

Okay. So today was the first day of coop. It was pretty cool I guess. I REALLY like French, but now I'm doing TWO french curriculums. A LOT to remember, but I'll manage, since it is my fav. :) ummm...I like lit. Geography, Church History. That's everything. So I guess I like it allll! Heehee! I can't wait till the other girl in the class comes back from the beach or wherever she's at though bc...I'm the only ninth grader, and only girl right now. Yup. Don't get me wrong, the other people are awesome, but it's good to have someone you can relate to.

Alsoooooo...

EEP! I'm also soooooooo excited....becaaauuuseee....TONIGHT IS THE SEASON PREMEIRE OF SYTYCD!!! For those of you who don't know, that's So You Think You Can Dance. Favorite reality show....EVAH! Hopefully someone good will win this year...not like last year. No offense to anyone who liked Jeanine, but I sooooo wanted Jason to win!He was such an INCREDIBLE dancer. But ya! Also, after that Glee is on. That show was OKAY...I'm not sure if I'll watch it or not....but ya. That's basically it. Not much going on.

EEEEEEEEEP!!!!

Here's the song of the day! :)
