In choir we are singing Little Drummer Boy, which I would normally be excited about, except for the fact that the only words I sing are 'hrum' and 'pum'. I'm alto 2, the lowest part. Of course. Give the boring part to the low people. =(
One happy thing about choir though:
Before, whenever Pleasanton Chamber and Livermore Chamber were joint for practice or were performing, I'd be in the front row. Now I've been promoted to second! Yay for being tall! (Never thought I'd say that!)
Ah, just a small update, but oh well.

This is a title.
I really hate making up titles for my blog posts. I'm bad at it too.
Yesterday (Sunday) was extremely fun. In Sunday school we watched a movie about Gordon B. Hinckley and ate popcorn. And chocolate chip cookies. AND brownies. (That's what happens when your classmate-Peter- is an excellent chef. =D )
Then in YW I discussed Enchanted (an EXCELLENT movie Nikol and I saw with the Graves family) with Jessica and we laughed our heads off. She loved it even more than I did.
So the thing that made me cry in Matt's talk was this: He was teaching a woman who's husband sudden had had a mental breakdown and was in a mental institution and she immediately was hooked on the gospel and was baptized. the night before he went home from his mission though, (I believe it was then...) he got a call from someone saying that the woman's husband had been let out the the institution but wasn't doing well. He had shot and killed his wife. It was so sad. I felt so sorry that that had happened.
Sad.
Well, is that enough of an update? I believe so.
Bye!

I've Been Tagged!
Gasp! I've been Tagged. What to do? How about follow the instructions?
Post the rules at the beginning of your post. The rules: Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people.
1. I'm not much of a "quality time" person. Don't be surprised if I disappear for a while occasionally. I'm not escaping you! I just have a habit of wandering... around... a lot...
2. I tend to stick out my tongue when playing DDR. I know, weird. But it just happens! Maybe it runs in the family, Justin (cousin) does it too.
3. When I get into something, I obsess over it for a week or two and then get bored of it. Yeah, I have a short attention span.
4. I LOVE MUSIC. Yeah, it may seem boring, but it's true! Every way shape and form, I love it. Singing, dancing to it, and listening to it. Mom knows my ipod is CONSTANTLY in my ears.
5. I'm rather talented at faking an accent. Haha. I have fond memories of singing 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer with mom in the car with an Australian accent (Does that remind of Clue? Mom, in the car, with an Australian accent! Haha, I think too much. )
6. I tend to play with my bottom lip when I'm nervous. Don't ask why, even I do not know.
Yay! Most of the people I know have already been tagged, but I'll tag some of my friends. Emmy, Genna, Sara...
So there! =)

AOSA
Yesterday I went with my choir to an event called AOSA. It was great! I rode in the car with Audrey, Corina, and Erica and we had lots of fun. We performed well, even though we did mess up at times.....
Sorry for the unenthusiastic post, but I'm tired and sick... =( Poor me! I might edit this post later to write more, but right now, I'm done. I hope I get well soon!!

Talents
I know it says this entry wasn't written on the 11th, but it was, well partially. I finished it later. =)
Church was great. Actually- church is always great, so it was EXTRA great. I gave my talk pretty well. I looked up and spoke clearly. Phew! I always mumble, so I was afraid no one would understand me, but when I heard my self, it sounded fine.
I got a lot of compliments on it. Yay, me! I'm so grateful I don't get nervous about these types of things.
Sunday school was fun as usual. I missed everyone. Gone for ONE week and I missed them. -sigh- I get so attached to people.
However, Young Womens was what was truly amazing. It was a lesson on Sharing Talents. When our name was called, we went up to the front of the class and sat in a chair. Then our Young Women leader gave us each a box with a small piece of paper that was listed with one, two, and three. The first one had something written next to it, but the other two didn't. Sister Lignell (the leader) said the first one was what the leader decided was my noticeable talent, the second would be what the other girls thought I was talented at, and the third was what I thought one of my talents were.
I did a double-take at what was written next to #1.
"Adventurous. You are not afraid to try new things!" I was NOT expecting that. But then Sister Lignell said to the girls, "Aubrey is learning to speak Japanese. On her own." All the girls gasped and Megan Graves said "Japanese? I can barely handle Spanish- no- I can barely handle English!"
Well, I guess that's adventurous. I had never thought of it that way. The other compliments were "Fun to laugh with", "Good singer", "always smiling", and "artistic".
For the third- what I thought I was talented at- I said listening. I dunno if I'm good at it, but I love doing it. I love finding random things out about people. It's so interesting.
So- I loved that talent idea so much, I shall make a list of my own for my family.

Listening- you can ALWAYS calm me down when I'm upset.
Music- I love hearing you play your cello- it makes me so happy!

Sorry!
Sorry I'm totally slacking on my blog... It's not like I've been busy or anything... I'm just lazy. =)
Today I helped Dad tear out the carpet in Mom and his room. Mostly I just tore up staples though.
Other than that, it's been a rather uneventful day.
I've been reading a lot though. I started reading Pride and Prejudice, and it's really good so far.
Oh- I'm speaking tomorrow at church! Woohoo! I can't decide whether to freak out or jump for joy: it depends on my mood, I guess.
Ah, well, there. You happy? I updated. And an amazig update it was... =)

I guess I'll update!
Hellooo! I haven't updated in forever because I was mad at my blog. It takes FOREVER to upload pictures! But anyway, here they are:
My Halloween costume!
My Halloween costume!
Buahahaha.
Halloween night!From left to right:
Alicia, Krista, Cassi, Lauren, Audrey, me, Jane
More Halloween!First row, left to right: Krista, Alicia, Audrey, me.
Second, left to right: Lauren, Cassi, Jane.
Yay!
This is when Jakob and Katelyn first met. Awww.
Katelyn in her blessing dress. It was SO CUTE!
The whole family! Well, I guess I should update what has actually been going ON. I went to Utah, but since most of the people that read my blog were THERE, I won't go into much detail. But it was really fun, and I can't remember the last time I went on a trip with Ryan. Wow. Jakob and Katelyn were so cute together because Jakob kept trying to eat Katelyn. Haha.
I'm REALLY lazy right now, so I won't say much more except that it's amazing to me how homesick you can get in four days. I'm never homesick on the actual trip, but when I get home I'm like, "HALLELUJAH!"
Yep.
