WHAT?! I almost forgot a title! I must have titles on my post!

Well, I can see that I didn't leave any of you in suspense after all. Probably 'cause there isn't any of you anyway! Oh well. I guess I can keep posting, and some day maybe someone will run across this blog! Someday over the rainbow and into the pot of gold that is. Anyways.... my trumpet teacher gave me a really cool piece of music to work on. It would tell you the title, but it's French or something or another. Last night I spent about 30 minutes on 4 measures. :-/ Yeah, the piece is pretty hard. But, it is really really really fun!!

Volleyball has been going good! I finally got put on a team! W00t! I got the most awesomest coach ever. (and I don't care if that is an improper sentence!!) Last Thursday ( not thanksgiving) we had a scrimmage against a team in Ada. It was really fun! We won two out of our three games played! We didn't have practice this past Friday, but that's because it was the day after Thanksgiving. I wouldn't have minded going to practice, but I guess other people would have. Anyyeah, we have practice on Friday, and I can't wait!!!! :D

Ok, what other randomness can I pull from my life to tell you? Um.. I'm not a real fan of Biology at the moment. History is actually ok at the moment. MATH IS TOTALLY AWESOME! Spanish is fun. :) Okay, that is really boring randomness. Hmm.. what is interesting? OOH!! I know!! I GOT A really cute pair of boots!! MY daddy bought then for me!!! YAY!!


Oh, and did I ever say anything about my Arban?! I don't think so! Agghh! Such horribleness of me!! Ok, I will show you a picture! Look and behold: THE ARBAN!


Ok, basically this is the must have book for all trumpet players. It is also referred to as "The Trumpet Bible." It is a really awesome book, except for a the little songs that are in the key of Bb. Some reason I don't like playing anything that is in the key of Bb. Crazy eh?

Oh, did I tell you I got a perm? No? Yes? You sure aren't very responsive right now. I don't have a picture right now, so you DON'T get to see it! :-? Maybe next post. Anyway, I really really like it! :) It may seem strange, but it is easier to manage than straight hair.

Hmmm.. I'm racking my brain to think of anything else that could be said here. Um.. we might put up our CHRISTmas decor this weekend. Nah, that's too boring to talk about on a blog.

Have you head the song Fireflies by Owl City? I like it! It's pretty funnny. Also, I like starting new paragraphs when I have absolutely no reason to start one! It's kinda fun. Plus, I think it is a little easier to read when everything is broken up. I strongly dislike it when someones hunkin' long post is not broken up. I always get lost and give up on reading it. Have you ever had that happen to you? Well, I guess since there really isn't much of a you, you wouldn't know. How sad. :( I think I'm gonna cry! Ok, no. I'm just kidding!

I think I need to find a new template for my blog. This one is kinda hard to read on. But, I don't think I have time to find one. Plus I never like any of the ones that all those websites have. They are either too blah or too BLINGGGG! in your face! Maybe I should go for the whole BLINGGG! in your face! thing. No.. don't think I could bring myself to do that!

Okay, I guess I should stop rambling on.
Bye!

Honor Band Results

So, I told you I was trying out for OBU honor band, and I guess you're wondering who I did. Maybe I won't tell you. I think I just leave you all in suspense. :) Okay.

This is here for you to read!

I guess it's about time I post! Wow.. all I can say right now is that I'm very busy! Yep, school has chased much of my spare time away. Even thought I'm technically only in 8th grade, I'm doing a couple HS course. I'm going to have to devote more time to study in my biology. Blah. I really enjoyed physical science last year, but bio, EWW! Grammar/writing is ok. I don't really like HisStory. But, MATH is awesome! Yay! I always love math. So, enough about school!

Volleyball has be awesome! Friday (which is when we have practice) is my favorite day of the week! I still haven't been put on a team yet, but I think I will be on the intermediate or the beginner high. I really hope that I don't get placed on the intermediate team. Last year I was on the beginner low, and I don't think I'm ready to handle all the action and stress! Plus, one of my favoritest (don't think that is a word, but I don't care!) older person is coaching the beginner high! I really really really really love her coaching. She is totally awesome anyway! :D We are scrimmaging Wolfpack this next Friday which is exciting. I know a couple people from my church who play on that team.

Anyways..... I guess I talk about my trumpet next. I started taking lessons this fall, and those have been really really awesome! I really like my teacher! I'm auditioning for an honorband at OBU tomorrow! I can't wait! I'm not doing band anymore, but it's ok. It was toooo much, and I didn't have time for it. So, I get my Tuesdays back for school! Yay!

Hmm.. what other aspects of my life would interest you all? I've started atentting my church Wednesday night classes. We hadn't been going because our church is about an hour away, but we are now. Mom, Matt, and I are also playing in the orchestra. That can prove to be very interesting. We are playing in a Christmas Cantata... it's cool. I'm trying to get more ivolved in my church. It's kinda hard because we live an hour away, and I'm not a really outgoing person with strangers.

Well.. this is the longest post I've written in a looooooong time. How silly of me!
