Chronicles of Narnia Fan!

I'm so into Chronicles of Narnia now. I believe I started the books three days ago and I'm now on the fourth! Price Caspian. I really like C.S. Lewis' writing style. It's so simple and clear.
One funny part about his writing is that whenever the protagonist sees something amazing for the first time, like a talking horse he'll say "Hullo! It's a talking horse!" And that's the end of his surprise. I guess it makes sense though, because if I were C.S. Lewis I would get sick of having to write the character's surprise because if he wrote a realistic amount of surprised, I think that the character would be surprised through the whole book.
Overall, I love the books!
That's basically why I'm posting: To say that anyone that hasn't read them should get to it!
My favorite so far is probably Prince Caspian (although I'm not done with it...) and my least is The Horse and His Boy.

Okay. So I am getting a little sick of break. There's not much to do. I've been reading The Chronicles of Narnia and I'm on the third. The Horse and His Boy.
Audrey came over yesterday and she brought Guitar Hero. It was rather fun, but the graphics were poor and it wasn't as good as DDR or Karaoke Revolution. She has also read Twilight and loves it. We're hoping to get together again to discuss it. And just have fun. Which is good 'cause I've been missing my friends.
And on that thought, I end this post.

Six Hours

Oh noes! Christmas is already over! How sad. It was good while it lasted though. I got some great things. I'll spare you from writing down everything I got though. Most of you people reading this were there.
I LOVE having breaks from school. Did you know what I did yesterday? I watched Pride and Prejudice (the old version) that I got for Christmas with Andrea. All six hours of it. And that's basically it. Ahhh...
Christmas Eve was fun as well. We went to the Bronson's, so of course it was enjoyable. I mostly just hung around Krista and Ben.
Christmas Adam (the day before Christmas Eve) we went to the Inokuchi's to carol, and that was extremely fun! But dangerous. Anytime you combine Sara, Krista and me is dangerous.
I realized that I'm writing events backwards, but you're smart people so I'm sure you've already figured that out. =)
Because of my lack of activity yesterday and today, I shall end my post here!

Falalalalalalalala...

Unrelated title. Oh well.
Friday was fun! I went to a choir party and we went caroling. One house we went to was especially fun. The man that opened the door offered a 5 dollars to whoever sang the loudest. I won. Woohoo! Only 5 bucks, but still. Here are some pictures from that night.
My friend Aubrianna. She's two years younger than me.

Matthew Perry. The party was at his house. He's one of the funniest people I know!

From left to right: Laura, Corina, Cynthia, Caroline.
They're all really fun, and Corina's really fun to tease. =) In a nice way.
Holly Ann and Erika. I don't know Holly Ann very well, but Erika's my good friend.
Matthew being... himself?

Me! Don't my legs look long in this picture? Weird...

Caroline and Zach.

The whole gang. Actually, I take it back. That's about half of the gang.

Also, Amy and Danny and Katelyn are here! That's extremely excitinggg! Katelyn keeps getting cuter and cuter. Her eyes are really blue now.
Today I'm wearing my maternity dress. YES, maternity dress. I bought it at Target on a clearance rack. I had no idea it was maternity until I had tried it on, bought it, and took off all the tags. I found one of the tags I had taken off and it said maternity. EMBARRASSING. Welll, it doesn't look like maternity, so it must be like for one month or something. =)
Well, that's basically it. I have to go to church now!

Sick!

Oh deary me. I'm sick. I have a really bad sore throat. Mom thinks it's strep and I'm going to the doctors at 2:30.
Mom is actually hoping it's strep so I can take medicine and get over it faster. I'm guessing it is, because there have been few time in my life where I had a sore throat and it didn't turn into strep. Ah well, the good thing is that because I do home school I won't get behind on school.
I'll post later to say if it's strep or not.

Phew!

PHEW! I am SO glad that week is over with. So much happened. Tuesday through Friday I had choir practices everyday. Saturday was our performances. We usually do one performance for each semester, but Bee found that too many people came to the Christmas concert, so we split it up into two performances. So on Saturday I was singing from 9:45 to 4:30. But that's not all! On Sunday we had the Interfaith Choral Festival that we performed in. Everyone was great in that. ESPECIALLY the LHS Chamber choir. They were amazing.
So my voice is rather sore now. I've basically been singing for a week straight.
All I have left of choir now is a party on Friday.Woohoo! That'll be fun. We'll be going Christmas caroling.
I'm really tired right now, so I shall end this update.

Performing With CTC

Today, after church, Mom and I went to the church Cantabella practices at to perform with the CTC (Cantabella Training Choir- AKA the little kids) for a thank you concert. We were apparently thanking them for letting us use their building.
Anyway, it wasn't the who Chamber choir, just about ten of us. Uh, it was interesting. The CTC sang this three part song that was way too hard for them, but the rest of the songs were unison and really cute.
Wyatt, Aubrianna (Yes, Aubrianna! That's her name! =D ) and I were the only Chamber members from Livermore and we were also the lowest part. We sang our parts well, but for some reason, it didn't sound too good. Hmmm...
Over all, it was pretty boring. Wah. And CERTAIN PEOPLE THAT STOOD NEXT TO ME-coughWyattcough- were annoying the heck out of me.
The CTC were really scared of us, so I kept smiling at the friendlily, but I think that scared them more. Oh well. Be scared if you want.
The funniest part of that whole thing was at the end when Bee gave us (Chamber) candy bars but said that the CTC couldn't get any because there we too many of them, so we should hide them. When we came out of the room, we were laughing and hiding our candy and when a little girl tried to get into the room, a boy from Chamber stopped them and told them they couldn't go in. Then the little girl turned around to her friends and said with total attitude "What is going on in there? What are they hiding? I want in." It made my day. Don't ask why. Just the way she said it was hilarious.
Sorry if anything I said in here wasn't very clear, but I'm tired and can't think straight.
Not that I usually can. =)
