Mom and Dad are getting back today! Yay!
Let's see... What has happened recently... I've gone to my first Carmina Burana practice with the conductor that will actually be leading us in the performance. It's an adjustment from Bee's style of leading, but I can follow it.
I also got done with my New Beginnings- it tuned out great. The only problem was that the only girl we were welcoming in was sick. Interesting.
I slept over at Krista's on Thursday while Nikol went dancing... I had to stay away from her brothers though because they had the flu...
I'm not very motivated to write right now, so yeah... =)

Hmm. I realized last night that Valentines day isn't nearly as exciting as the time before it. In fact, my Valentines Day usually just happens on the day of the dance. That's my celebration. Heh.

I really have tons I could update about. Things more exciting, but I want to write about something else first: Artemis Fowl. Anyone who lives in the same house as me will tell you that I am in love with it. It's a great series of books. I love it. I tend to disappear for a while and come out saying "I finished another Artemis Fowl book!" I think I started a week ago on the series and I finished the fourth book today. Shame on me. I'm supposed to be reading Call of the Wild for school. Ah, well. I'll start on it today.

I really can't understand how anyone can NOT like reading. At the V. dance, Ashlyn said that she hates reading. I couldn't even comprehend it. Wow. It's just crazy to me.

Haha. I'm such a 'nerd'. But I don't care. =)

Here's my post. Yesterday consisted of:
Burning paper edges for my New Beginnings project (we're making scrolls for invitations)
Taking pictures of Nikol in a turkey costume around town
Being in a turkey picture
going to Lucky with Krista and Audrey for no reason
playing Singstar with Audrey
DADGETTINGHOME!
Hmmm... I think that about covers it. I'd write more but church starts soon and I have to finish getting ready.

Today was my first BYC meeting as a president. Well- not really. I'm not actually president. They haven't set me apart yet. Hmph. I was very grumpy today. When sacrament meeting was over, I went to Sunday School, and Ashlyn wasn't there again. Just Peter and Ryan. And the teacher wasn't there yet, so there was dead silence when I entered. You know how people always say deacons are rowdy and loud? Well, wrong. I finally had to start blabbing, and finally Peter joined in the conversation about how he loved Body Worlds. Then the teacher came in. Phew.
So I was fine through Sunday School, but during Young Womens I was STARVINGGG because I had slept in that day until 9:30 and Sister Holt was picking me up at 10 for BYC so I was basically a mess and didn't eat very much.
The lessons were very good though and I could easily apply them to my life right now. Good job, teachers!

Only One of the Best Songs Ever!

This is dedicated to you, Nikol! =) Pahaha. Gotta love this song.



By 'this song' I mean Must Have Done Something Right by Relient k.

I put on my pants inside out today. Haha, smarts.

Swing Dancing

I am ashamed of myself. I cannot believe I forgot to write about my night swing dancing. Well. It's kind of hard to write about it without going on and on about all the people I danced with. I just tell you the highlights.
Well, the night didn't start out very well. As soon as we walked in, the scary looking guy dressed in all black asked me to dance. Wah. It was funny to dance with him however, because he frowned the whole time while we were dancing to this upbeat happy song.
I got to dance with 'Big-Headed Boy' who was one of my favorites, and the 'Spinny Guy' who was this old man who spins you the whole time.
But I have to say- my ultimate favorite was Maris. He was this black guy who totally got into the music. It was funny, because instead of coming up to me and asking me to dance, he kind of just dragged me off without my permission and started dancing. Yeah, he was confident. But he had a reason to be. I thought he was good. But then again, I don't have very good judgment 'cause I'm a newbie. Oh well. He taught me a new move as well.
I also danced with the nondescript guy. He wasn't really nondescript, but I was trying to tell Nikol who he was, but I couldn't describe him and I couldn't remember his name, therefore gaining him the title of 'the nondescript guy'.
There was also a birthday circle and performances. The performances were good, but I think if I were in the birthday circle I would die. Simply because I wouldn't be able to handle all the eyes on me and my lack of swing dance knowledge.
There's more I'd like to write, but I'm sure you don't want to here about every single dance, so I'll spare you.
