Such and such.

I was in the school talent show last night -- My friend Brian McGinnis and I did the song Lucky by Jason Mraz on guitar. It was great, we practiced a lot. Our voices sounded fantastic, and other than the fact that the Tech Crew screwed up the amp before we went on, it wasn't bad. Happy March also!

I'm going to be a rockstar, no doubt about it. Last night I got this feel when I was onstage that was just this amazing adrenaline rush, yet nervous, and anxious, but altogether it was great, and I want that again. I've tried twice now to form bands, first one never even got together once, second one.. Well, we're still together, but we don't know what we're doing. So I decided that I am just going to write my own songs, and then see if I can play in coffee shops downtown and stuff, and play those for now. Also, my two musical idols, Kate Nash and Lily Allen both got famous by posting the songs they wrote on myspace. Producers heard them, and wanted to get them recorded. And so on. Now their famous. I'm thinking I'll just post some stuff around Facebook, I'm not much of a MySpace person, but I've got an ancient account, so I'll post some stuff on there too when I eventually write something. Its a start. I'm taking a Guitar class write now, which is also a song-writing class, so theres another step in the direction of being a Rockstar. Also, I'm taking voice lessons also, so that I can get a wider range and a stronger voice. I've got to be able to belt it out good and strong if I'm going to be famous, right? One day. I can't wait.

I just thought of something, what if 10 years from now I look back on this post (if I'm famous) and I think, wow, I totally achieved my dream! I would be so proud. I want everyone to get their dream! That would be great. I'm constantly lost in my daydreams of performing on a big stage, all this amazing music. I've also sort of learned how to play Piano lately, and I recently learned Ukulele also! I plan on learning Trumpet soon, hopefully Banjo, Saxophone, and Violin also. I love instruments. Oh and Bass. I want to learn Bass. I would say Drums too, but those are just SO big and difficult to transport.

Last weekend I saw the Justin Bieber movie with my friend Danii. Before you go and laugh at me, let me tell you, he worked extremely hard to get where he is today. Do you laugh at me because I'm trying to achieve my dream? It was inspiring actually. It gave me ideas of other ways to get my music out there for people to discover. His voice isn't fake either. He can sing very, very well even without the help of a studio like a lot of modern day pop singers. He is actually talented. Just because his voice hasn't fully matured and he has that dumb feathery haircut, and nearly every girl between the ages of 3-17 swoons at the sight of him, doesn't mean he's a totally freak. He's not bad. Give the whole "Lets make fun of Justin Bieber and we can be cool" thing a rest, okay? You don't have to like him, but you also don't have to make fun of him to be 'cool.' Its rude.

Sitting in History

We're done with our history project two days early. YES!!! We as in me and Thea. So, because of our unusually fast knack of finishing stupid history projects, we sat back and relaxed. Well i wouldnt exactly say relaxed. We actually got really stressed out. We played some intense games of bubble shooter (www.bubbleshooter.net) and actually BEAT the game. I bet you didn't think that you could actually beat it, huh? Well guess what buddy, you CAN! And we did. Thea says that she beat it first, but that was just today. I have beat it more times than I could even count. So HA Thea. We decided that not beating bubble shooter is the cause of war. I bet that its also the cause of global warming and world hunger. Thats what I bet. So then to make everything better, we were jamming out to Lily Allen! Oh how I love her music! Especially the songs Flowers and Butterflies (code name), Who'd have known, and Everyone's at it. Those are great songs. Oh and Him. Thats a good one too. Then at the beginning of the class period, like maybe 20 minutes in, I got really bored and texted Annith, and we both got out of our classes and she told me the Mango (its capitalized for a reason!!!) story, and then we saw a cool poster and we wanted to see who made it, but the name was written on the back, and then Annith accidentally tore it off the wall... it was really funny, because then a kid came by and said "Annie what did you do this time?" It was great. But then we found out who made it and it was all good. :) And we saw a picture of Finland, and found out that it looks like a lady with one arm. So that is our new greeting toward each other. It kinda looks like we are mental. But hey, so what?
And another good news for ya! Its all better now. Everything that has to do with Bend, Oregon. Not necesarilly McMinnville stuff, but Bend is good. We are good. I was just making stupid assumptions. I'm sorry for that. Assumptions really stink. Thats probably why they start with "Ass"(umptions). Oh ha ha ha, la de da de da! I cracked myself up! But yeah, me and Annie "went to the bathroom" (got out of boring classes) and you know, time really does fly when your having a good time. Because suddenly 20 minutes went bye... I must've realllllyy had to go to the bathroom. Annie said that I should just tell my teacher that I was having a problem. But you know. 20 minutes? I don't think so. Thankfully, when I walked back in I was reallllly quiet about shutting the door, and the teacher didn't even notice and I got away with it! Phew! Oh! I just could have said that I ate a LOT of food yesterday and thats why I was in the bathroom for so long! ahahahahahhahah!! Actually I spent the day yesterday feeling rather sick. Kinda pukey. But i didn't barf. Phew! Thats like my biggest fear. Like bigger than death. or beetles. Or spiders.
Then Saturday night, Kaitlin spent the night, and they (kaitlin and josephine) spent their time talking to me in my sleep. I guess the first time that I fell asleep, they came up and talked about the most random things. I dont remember nearly any of this, due to the fact that I was asleep, but Kaitlin said that she put her hand on my back and then made it feel like there was a spider crawling up my back, and then i guess i started swating at it. Oh dear me. Then i woke up. Then I fell back asleep and they turned off the light and I guess i really wanted it on, and so as they said it, i got up and then frantically turned on the big light, not just the lamp, then collapsed on Josephines suitcase. I never woke up during this. Apparently, later in the night, I had a really deep conversation with Kaitlin. I only remember what Kaitlin told me I had done. Thats it. But I guess it was really deep. Ha ha ha! I wish I was awake so that I could remember it and talk about it more. Oh dear. Well kaitlin recorded parts of it with her phone. Man, these posts sure do get long!! Well, historys almost over. But I am coming right back here cause I have stupid old freshman acadamy class next. Meh! Byee!
