AIYAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

It's been what, 3 weeks now, since I last posted?!! Well, I just got a FACEBOOK (hooray!!!), and that's been dominating my time on the computer ^__^ My birthday was 3 weeks ago; 14 now!! I know this sounds cliche, but I actually DO feel a little more mature. I mean, I'm not playing with my little sister as much anymore, because she JUST WON'T STOP CHATTERING. I feel kind of band about it though. . .maybe I JUST DON'T WANT TO PLAY American Girls, Littlest Pet Shop, or Couch Cushion fort!! I'll find the time. . . For my birthday cake, Mom and R (little sister) made my cake. R got this idea from an American Girl magazine; a 4 layer RAINBOW cake, with blue icing and white icing to represent sky and clouds! It was really cute and creative. I'm surprised my white braces didn't turn different colors. . .oh well, that's the joy of eating cake :)

Last week, A (remember? my big sis from previous post) and I had the deadly, dreaded, everlasting MARCHING BAND CAMP. Our theme is James Brown (the "I Feel Good" guy, in case you don't know), and it's super upbeat, kind of jazzy music. One part is supposed to be kind of angry, and sounds like a riot song. Anyway, it was from 8 in the morning till noon, and 4 to 8:30. The break in between was so hot, we just couldn't march on that field. We went through all kinds of drills; from marking time, rotating, boxes, etc. I hated it, but I really enjoyed the sectionals to learn the music. I'm the kind of person who can play music sitting or standing; not simultaneously marching in formations!! (I can't multitask well.') And just so you know, marching is just heel-ball-toe; not stomping with our knees up like you would if you were a little kid.

This week was only in the evenings, and last night was parent night. We have about 60% of our show completed; we need to learn two more movements, and polish up a few things. I got a haircut again--little lower than chin length, regular bangs. I let my bangs grow out over the summer just so I could push them back, but now I want them back!! Dad and I also made the United Tae Kwon Do Demo Team--we can show off and get good publicity at festivals, openings, schools, and the like. Our first practice is tomorrow--I can't wait!!! I don't know what area I want to specialize in; breaking techniques or poomse(forms). . .I can only choose one. I also got my Saint Dragon girl orders in the mail; still waiting on Volume 5!!
I gotta go get ready for a daily class at the Dojang(TKD training)!
