The Reunion

Well, we went to a Whiting reunion recently. It was a lot of fun and they had little things set up for us to do, so I thought I should post some pictures of them. :D

 My sister and I in the "school" writing our names with quills and ink.

 This is me using lye soap made by my great, 

great, great grandmother, to clean a dirty rag on a washboard.

 Me, with our piece of log we sawed off. 

 The log and the saw. 

 Me with my cousin Mckenzie, at family dancing. :P

My sister and me holding our piece of log with our time of 5:23 on it, which is not a very good time, but we did it so it's better than not doing the activity at all. :P

(Shrug)

My sister's making me write a post, so... yeah. That's all I have.

Now

This final week is finally here. I can't wait till it's over. I am so done with this year. Ready, ready, ready, for Friday. For Friday, to be now.

Is For

N - It's Now or Never

O - the obstacle in between

W - Don't Wait

Now

I tried to post something last time, but unfortunately it did not work.]

-Now, school is almost over.

-Now, grades mean a ton (well they always did, but they get more nervwracking at the end)

-Now, I am almost a Junior.

-Now, I am incredibly excited for summer, just to be out of school. (there's other reasons, but right NOW is what i am talking about.)

-Now, now, now, now (say it enough times it sounds funny)

Now

School

Well, I am very excited, because school is over in less than a month which means that summer vacation is getting closer everyday. I have found out that I have nothing to do on the last day of school because periods 2 and 4 are my AP classes so we don't have to do anything and then theatre we have a final but you can perform it before during the week. I usually sign up for Tuesday or something. I also get to miss this Friday, because it is career day and we are not doing anything important in my classes except for turn in a project, so I will probably just go and turn it in and come home. Then I get to go visit my cousins in Arizona this weekend, Yay!!!!! That's always fun. Also, our one-act of A Midsummer's Night Dream is tomorrow night, and my cast is extremely ready for it. I can't wait. The biggest thing I am not excited about is the project for Bio. due on Friday, blech. It's a power point. Well, that's all for now. :D

Catch up.

Well, so a not-named person that I wanted to ask me to Prom, asked me to prom. Which was very fun, and I am very excited for. Also, I was a ballkid again at the BNP Paribas in Indian Wells. And last my birthday is in just a few more days!!!!!!! :D

Another

Well, I am writing another song. It is about balloons, who woulda thunk. (would have thought.)

Yessssssssssss!!!

I have finally, after many attempts, written a song that I am proud enough of to play for someone other than my little sister. I still need to work on it some though, so that it will be less tacky and unoriginal sounding. It is kind of like an outline of a good song. So, that is all for now. Best wishes to all and their endeavors. :)

For Emily

Okay, here's what I have been up to. First, I am desperately trying to write a song, and whenever I start humming a random tune in my head I record it on my camera so I don't forget it. Also, last night in my dream, me (in my dream) started coming up with a line for a song, I think I remember it. Also, yesterday I learned the Hoedown Throwdown, for fun, because I wanted to learn a choreographed dance, because I thought that would be fun, and it was. Plus I can go up with my friend and do the dance at the next dance, with the other few people who know it. :P Well, that is my new post.

Fire Safety

Well, as I was checking my e-mail just a few minutes ago, I was watching my little brother and sister out the window light a fire in our portable fire-pit outside. My little brother had the brilliant idea to pour gasoline on the fire to get it to start. As he poured gas onto the fire the fire lit and found its way up the stream of gasoline and got itself into the can. My little brother and little sister not knowing what to do decided to throw the can of gas into our pool right as I was running out screaming no (really, I was), getting ready to put dirt all over the can. Too late, us kids soon found ourselves with a giant fire inside our pool (luckily our pool needs remodeling so it is pretty much drained except for the rain that has made its way into it during the last few rain falls. Therefore, kids and people, I would like you all to know that dirt is what puts out gasoline, never put a can of gasoline into a large body of water. That's all for today folks! (P.S. No damage has come to anyone, and our pool is fine because we are going to re-do it anyways.)

Alzheimer's

Well, today my friend Toni had a meeting for he Girl Scout Golden Award project, or something like that. That project is basically for 65 hours and about something you are passionate about. She, chose Alzheimer's disease, because her Grandma has it and she has seen the effects of it.

So, I went to the meeting she invited me to and we learned about her project and such, also as a bonus there was pizza and cookies and water there.

At the end we got to sign up for volunteering to help out with the Alzheimer's clients (they don't like to say they are patients). So I have signed up for this Friday sometime after school.

Also, there is a walk I believe to support Alzheimer's patients and I plan to sign up for it once there is more information. It should be fun though. :)

Rain Rain Staaaaaaay!!!!

Hurray! It is raining, and although I would like to see the sun again and not have rain everyday. While it is here in the desert it is wonderful. And, for those of us who live in the desert, it also smells like creosote, which smells so good, and most of us call it the smell of rain. :D

Anyways, things have been going pretty well, finals are this week, but other than math I think they will all be fairly easy, which means this will be a wonderful week.
