Updates

Today is Saturday, and I basically just laid around the house, watching kids movies on youtube and stuff like that.  I watched The Road to El Dorado, which is one of my favorites, but I'm not sure why.  Yesterday night, I watched the two most recent Glee episodes, which I really liked.  I'm really sad The Office is ending!  I cried on the last one, which was Steve Carrell's last.  : (  Boohoo!  Anyway, tomorrow I'm playing with my ACMC group (I mentioned them before, right?) at the Long Center!  I'm excited.  We're still working on the four-page hard piece, so we just have to play our easy one we've been warming up with.  Then on Monday, it's my BIRTHDAY!!! Yay! It stinks that I have to go to school though.  Afterwards, I have a tech rehearsal for Beauty and the Beast from 4:30 to 9:30, and though some people may think it stinks to have a huge rehearsal on your b-day, I don't!!!  I've been looking forward to the rehearsal so much, I keep forgetting I'm gonna be 13.  I think the play's going to be really good, but I'm really sad it's gonna end.  : (  On Monday, I get to see my dresses, which is SO COOL!!!  We also get to see the set for the first time and we have to block the last scene (we didn't block it yet because it all depends on the set).  Monday is going to be the best day of my life!! (So far, anyway)

Just Writing to Write

Nothing much has happened since I last wrote.  Above are some pictures of some cute puppies (they're welsh springer spaniels.)  I may get one of the boys!!!

The link underneath is a Subaru commercial you've probably seen, but I attached it because I really like the girl's wedding dress!

Video

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on my blog for like, EVER!! Here are some videos:
The first is a youtube video some of you may've seen of a Taiwanese (NOT Korean!) kid singing "I will always love you" by Whitney Houston.  Hannah McChesnut showed it to me, a fact I wouldn't include if not for her sitting next to me saying "Write I showed you it!!!" over and over again!!!! Now she's mad
Here's the link

Now Hannah's showing me how she drooled on her leg.  Great, Hannah, great.

She doesn't want me to write this.

She says it's cuz of her new braces, but whatever.

Beauty and the Beast

OH MY GOSH!!!!! I can't believe it!!! Today is Friday, and I had theater.  We got out parts today and the whole way over I had butterflies in my stomach (for the first time).  Then we got there and after listening to the teacher's story about casting (he always gives a story.  Today it was about his wife's first production she ever did and how instead of getting Sleeping Beauty she got an ugly troll but everyone thought she was hilarious and it all worked out) he started announcing parts.  My heart was beating SO fast!! Everytime he said a name, it wasn't mine!  Finally, as the last name, he looked up at me and said "And Emma as Belle" I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!! I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!  All week I had been telling myself "okay, emma there are other, more experienced girls who have a big chance of getting Belle" so I wouldn't take it too badly if i didn't get it.  I am so excited!!!  I don't even care that I have to fall in love with a guy!! Or that I have to sing an entire song by myself!!  Or that I have to practice all the time!! I have never been more excited!!! I'm sorry if I'm acting like this is a bigger deal than it is, but I just really thought I wasn't going to get it.  THANK YOU UNIVERSE!!!!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!

So, I get my part for Beauty and the Beast on Friday!!
I'm really excited, though I don't really care who I get that much!! My audition went pretty good last week. I was sick all last week, so when I heard I had to sing again, I was so incredibly nervous!!!  I told the director, Phil, that I'd been sick, and he said that I sang good last week so it was fine.  The last class we had, Phil was wearing a pink shirt, and one of the younger girls commented on it, and Phil simply replied, "It's not pink, it's salmon" in an awesome accent and we all laughed. Phil is AWESOME!!! I am wearing a pink shirt today, because it is VALENTINE'S DAY!!! Yay!! I had a heart shaped pizza and a chocolate from Lamme's for dinner.  It was delicious!! Also, guess what I did when I got home?  Instead of doing my two-page essay for language arts, I cut hearts out of spinach leaves!!! It was an awesome waste of time!  It sounds like something you would read on MLIA.  You guys HAVE to check out MLIA (www.mylifeisaverage.com) It is so funny!!  Love you guys!! Happy Valentine's Day!

Office Trailer

Hey guys, I love this fake Office trailer, and I just HAD to post it.  I am an Office FREAK! I've seen every episode probably about two times each!!!!!!

Austin Music Chamber Center

Ugh, today was just as cold as yesterday, maybe even worse!!! I hate the cold soooo much.  It's going to snow tomorrow, so maybe I won't have to go to school.  Today I had TX history, orchestra, language arts, advisory, and spanish.  It was one of the best thursdays ever (I have this eternal grudge against Thursdays...) because I didn't get any homework and I didn't have anything after school.  I'm in this quartet group in orchestra called ACMC (Austin Chamber Music __?___ (it's probably center)) with me (I play violin), Nate (violin), Nyla (cello), Alexander (viola), and Matthew (bass).  On Monday we get to go recruiting, which means we get to get out of school pretty much the whole day and go play music at different elementary schools.  The whole orchestra has done it before, along with the choir and the band, but I was sick that day and missed the second half of it.  I can't wait to go!  We're playing this piece by Mozart called Ieine Kleine or something weird like that, but it's fun.  We're also doing this story piece where our teacher tells a story and we do awesome sound effects.  You know what's weird?  Everytime I write down a song, I keep wanting to write a little bit of it in, but it's kinda impossible! Anyway, hopefully Monday will be fun.  I'll be sure to tell you how it goes!!!! BYE
