Acting!!! :)
















Well, my interest in acting has been for quite sometime. It started out when I was...hum...probably about 4, standing on stage at our Church singing in Christmas programs. The most recent program was at Stars Dinner Theater singing in a Christmas Play! All the shows between go from, being a pirate (spaghetti) in Pirates of Parody, to starring as a girl in Honesty(I don't remember my name), to being a Capulet (Bobbi) in Romeo and Winifred, to starring at Miss Collins(the dorky teacher) in School House Rock(& singing a solo), to being Hark (the main character) in Hark the Harold Angels(and singing a solo, for the first time!), and MANY MANY more! -those were just some of my favorites! I absolutely LOVE acting in every play possible, and hope to be in TONS more. Right now I'm working on a show that we're going to be performing in the end of April, and it's going very well and it's going to be one of the best shows that I've ever done! :P It's goin' to be very funny as well as a great performance! The dates are April 24th and 25th and you should totally come! It's a contest for whoever sells the most tickets...so buy them from me plz! They're only 2 bucks!
One of the things that I like about being in shows is dancing(and fighting). I really enjoyed how in School House Rock, we had a choreographer come and teach us dances in the dance room and omgoodness, it was SO very fun! The dances turned out awesome and we all had a blast learning them! :) Play practices are like the funnest things ever! gtg

Reading!

I've finally found my interest in reading! It took 13 years though. I used to read 2 chapters of a book, and have no clue what I just read! Finally, in the past couple of months I read this really good book, and it was the first in a series...so then I read the other five books in like 2 weeks! My mom got me a bunch of other books from Valley Oaks and now, I'm totally into reading! It's crazy, nobody thinks of me as a reader but now I read all the time in my spare time! I've discovered that I read best listening to my i-pod though...kinda weird, but it drowns out all the background noise and voices. Anyway, I don't know why I'm posting about me reading, but I don't have anything else to talk about...so, the main point of this post is to learn that I love reading! idk, gtg, write more later!

Skiing/Snowboarding!!!

Ok, so yesterday we went up to Sierra Summit with bunches of friendies. I decided to try snowboarding for the first time...Wow! People make it look SO easy!! I took this lesson(with Timmy and Thomas, bc they were doing it for the first time too!) for an hour and a half. I barely did anything. ...and they didn't really teach me anything. So, that didn't help that much, but it definitely got me started! Then I went up the magic carpet and then after I could go down without falling I upgraded my self to the bunny hill. woo hoo!
The bunny hill wasn't that much of a challenge!! I went down with Katie and Megan and Sarah S...so much fun!! One really hard thing about the bunny hill was the rope lift thing. Timmy and Jesse were both left footed so it was super hard for them and they kept flipping over it and then getting all tangled up, very funny! But I still fell down tons going down. The bunny hill was part of what made my day a blast cause I got to hang out with MY friends! (instead of my brothers)
My dad finally convinced me to go down half of Academy and Oh My Goodness....It took me like 10 min. to get down the first little slope thingy!!! My arms were crazy tired!! (from getting up...) My dad was like, didn't they teach you how to turn and stop in your lessons. Nope, they didn't! So I was all on my own. I didn't really know how to turn or anything so I kept getting stuck in the soft snow and I couldn't get out!!! That was such a challenge! But I got back up and kept going and made it down the rest of the Academy. Fortunately, I kept improving down the rest of the hill. One thing I like about falling on the snowboarding is, it's normally super easy to get up! I don't like falling forward, like when you catch the front of your board and it just whacks you forward and you go straight down. That's no fun! The good thing is, it doesn't hurt very much. I went down the bunny hill a couple more times and then went down Academy and a little ways down we found some friends! So I went with them and rode back up with Jesse. Then Jesse, Luke, and Jacob finally convinced me to go down Fire Bowl, YIKES!!! I was snowplowing like all the way down(which took me a while to learn how to do)...They were all skiing, so I was a bit behind them. (Jesse switched to skiing after about 3 or 4 hours of snowboarding) I was totally surprised bc I only fell down once and (fortunately) that was a easy fall and get back up! But it took me a while to get down, cause I went really slow.
For those of you that have been down Academy, you know the long straight part at the end??? Well I had to walk almost that whole thing bc I couldn't get enough speed to make it all the way, bc I was a scaredy cat and had to slow down!! Anyways, I had a total BLAST snowboarding and will totally do it again next time! ...it was so much fun!

-I forgot to say, I'm right footed for those of you who want to know... I know I'm weird!
-Today I'm CRAZY sore in my arms! My legs aren't that sore but my arms hurt to do anything. Opening the frig was the worst thing I've done today!
-I'll put pictures of us on here is a couple of days!
