This Way to Wonderland...

I am actually, surprisingly, kind of really depressed that rehearsals and performances for the school play of "Alice in Wonderland" are over. You work at something so hard for almost 3 months and then, all of the sudden, it's just over. It's been so much fun. I've made so many new friends and have gotten to know them well. I will for sure miss this experience but I'm glad I was a part of it. I hope next year the new music director will pick a good play and good people to be in it, hopefully one of those good persons is me. ;) Thanks to all those who came to the performances, I hope you enjoyed the show as much as the cast enjoyed putting it on for you. Special thank you's to all the parents who helped out and especially to Mrs. Christensen for all the work and effort she put into this wonderful production. Thank you to the cast who worked so hard and made this such an enjoyable experience! I love you all so very much!

Thursday night was a pretty emotional night for me. 2 of my friends were going to come to the Wednesday dress rehearsal of "Alice in Wonderland" because they couldn't come to the actual show, and both ended up not being able to come Wednesday. Then, for whatever reason I'm not sure of, both of them showed up Thursday. Neither told me they were coming. I was just casually dancing onstage and saw them sitting in the audience. My mind went totally blank and I messed up on my dancing pretty badly but I recovered moderately well. It was so much fun to see them there. I was ecstatic. In between those times when I wasn't onstage I was in the drama room trying to hold back tears. I still can't believe they showed up just for me. Anyways, that was a pretty fantastic night.

Now that that's out of the way... 26 days until my birthday! Might as well start the countdown early. I'm anxious. I want to be 13. Ha, ha. Which that also means Christmas is coming up soon. I already have some of my Christmas shopping done =) You know those sales, can't miss 'em. Ha, ha. I got a special friend of mine a really beautiful angel necklace because she is such an angel to me. I hope she's not reading this post, ha, ha, that'd be bad. I can't wait to give it to her =)

I'm starting to hate the UPS guys. I won a signed Sugarland picture a few weeks ago and they said they shipped it like a month ago and it still hasn't come. Also, I'm waiting for some barrettes for a few friends of mine from Stef and they still haven't come either! I'm ticked! Hope they come soon.

I wrote a new song recently. It's been a while since I've done any writing. The song is called "Little Hands", and I recorded it so it's all amazing and everything. It's kind of a story song. From my perspective, it's a single mother writing about her child. Each verse is a different period in that child's life time. And the chorus talks about how she's doing all she can to support this child and how she wants to raise her child to be a strong girl. It's one of my favorite songs that I've written. I also wrote another one called "Promise Me", which I actually wrote kind of about one of my friends. It's kind of a song saying that when I'm going through my trials, I'll stand as strong as I can on my own but I need you to promise me that when I'll fall you'll be there. That song is a pretty emotional one for me. I love the lyrics. I will have to post them sometime.

Ok. I'm done blabbering now. Thank you for reading this post. I love you. Ha, ha =)
