life

So it's been a long time eh? Well life is fabulous. Monster is over. It went...fabulously! And now I'm about to start working on another show :Pericles! It's Shakespeare. And I'm background/chorusy person but I am oookay with that because I don't know squat about Shakspeare! Hahaha. So my voice recital is coming up. I'm singing Breathe. And For Good with Keri Malament. And then accompanying the Morales girls with The Melody Within which is a GORGEOUS song. It's so pretty. So I'm going to use it as my song quote today :D

"Every person you have known has a song of their own. Once they open up you'll hear what's there. It's not easy, you must listen to your heart for what lies hidden!"

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!"

I am so happy! As you may all ready know, I love to be busy. I can't stand not doing anything. And school does NOT count as doing something!! And I haven't been busy at all lately, so I'm just kinda...bored. But this week, my life starts up again! Coop, the PFO RETREAT!!! birthdays,  Sleepover with my BFF Caroline (Cherry Berry! Stay posted for picturess!), church, birthday parties, my CTC CLASS!!! more birthdays, and voice lessons, and  Aaaah! My fabulously busy life. I love it!

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! :)

"Behold the way our fine feathered friend his virtue doth parade. Thou knowest not, my dimwitted friend the picture thou hast made. Thy vacant brow and thy tousled hair conceal thy good intent. Thou noble upright truthful sincere and slightly dopey gent. You're my funny valentine. Sweet comic valentine. You make me smile with my heart! You're looks are laughable, unphotographable. Yet you're my favbotie work of art."
