p.s.- this is the color of sunshine!

8. Composition winning 2nd place in State.
9. 1 week until trip to CA!
10. Making cool braids in Emma's hair :-)

Cats, Synths, Swing, and Styx

Saw CATS over the weekend! It was awesome. Made me want to get up and dance.
Speaking of which, Kyle and I had a spontaneous swing dancing adventure on Friday! That was really fun; we didn't really know what we were doing...and we were like the only ones on the dance floor because everyone else was being LAME (well, it was Meadowdale)...but WE were having fun. Even managed a few lifts! I want to learn how to swing dance better.

I also joined the church's youth band. They already have a really good pianist so I'm doing SYNTHS on the keyboard! It'll be epic. I've been messing around with different sound effects. Should make us sound like Styx or Van Halen.

It's been gorgeous outside lately. I can't wait for summer. Or to be done with this stupid health class. Or to go to CA for my grandpa's wedding. So much to look forward to!!!

excitement and the like

Lauren: thanks for reminding me about the Zits comics XD

I like the Trix bowel :-)

Yesterday was a stressful day.
However, this morning is a new start. I love that about mornings. Everything is fresh. That's really cliche, but it's true. Like many cliches, actually.

Looking forward to sushi with Kyle on tomorrow! And possibly yoga in the morning.

Pike Place Market was SO fun over the weekend. Adding that one to my list of favorite memories.

K, back to work!

Mister Golden Sun

The Sun: "Honey, I'm home!"
Emily: "WHERE THE HECK HAVE YOU BLEEDING BEEN?!?!?"
The Sun: "Woah there, winter is regulation vacation for me, sister."
Emily: "Winter?? Winter??? Winter has been OVER. It is legitimate SPRING SEASON. You are waaay tardy."
The Sun: "Okay, okay. Mother Nature and I got in a bit of a dispute...it was a heated discussion. Heheheh. Get it? Heated?"
Emily: "........I am not amused."
The Sun: "...sorry."
Emily: "You know, I don't care if you are a star, you're lucky people like you enough to forgive you. Such infidelity is WIDELY frowned upon."
The Sun: "I know, I--"
Emily: "The prospect of Global Warming starts to look pretty darn attractive when there's snow in April, mister."
The Sun: "Yeah, I know. It's--"
Emily: "Whatever happened to 'Certain as the sun?' huh? HUH?"
The Sun: "Okay, I'm SORRY. I'm sorry."
Emily: "...Thank you."
The Sun: [sniff] "You're welcome. Are you happy?"
Emily: "Satisfied. For now. If you should forsake me again..."
The Sun: "I promise it's Spring now! I promise."
Emily: "I'm watching you. You WILL be held accountable."

The Beginning of the End

Looks like this quarter is going to be pretty busy; I have a lot of reading to do, so I may not post quite as many long, drawn-out monologues that I know you all enjoy so much more than all the other long, drawn-out things in your lives. However, I will try to provide comix for your consumer satisfaction.

More Garfield Minus Garfield

Some comix for you to enjoy. Hysterical.

WORST April Fools that could have happened

So I spent all that time ranting about my stupid wisdom teeth, and then Lauren goes and scares us all.

Lauren, I'm sorry that I couldn't stay with you longer. When you were texting us from the hospital last night I got so scared. I thought about what it would be like to lose you and started sobbing. None of us slept well, I'm sure. When I got up this morning my mom took one look at my face and went, "Oh, that does NOT look good."

Anyway, we're all glad that everything turned out okay. I'm excited for our Pike Place Traipsery on Friday! You'd better be feeling better ;-)
