I hate mouths

Hey everyone!
So today I finally had a beloved Friday off of guard. So I decided to use it wisely, or somewhat wisely. What's sad is that I always try to have good use of my time but I always get distracted. Well, I chilled in my room for a while after I got home at least. And then I cleaned it up a bit. So I guess I used my time somewhat wisely. Anyways The reason that I didn't have guard today is because of a man named Daniel Wiles. Who is the Avon colorguard coach. It seems silly that we'd be associated with him considering Avon and my high school are kind of rivals. But he helps us in winter guard staging. So he's going to come to our school Sunday and see our show and see if any changes need to be made. But, a 3 hour practice is replaced with a 5 hour practice...Yeah that's not exactly the best sounding deal now is it. Though it may seem a bad deal, we mostly just sit while they think to themselves about what would make the show better. So that's okay with me. Perfectly fine actually. Anyways the REAL reason that I wished to blog today is because of a person. It's not any type of gossip or anything out of the ordinary me. The person is a guy that I have had a crush on for about a week maybe more. So, creepy me. I decided to draw him. And before you start jumping to conclusions about how delirious I am I guess I'll get straight to the point...All I did was draw The phantom of the opera. So calm down will you? I did nothing wrong. In fact there's been many people drawing Gerard Butler. Except I absolutely hate drawing his mouth. I don't care how great the shading is if only the mouth were right. I've tried so many times to get the right mouth. It's hard to do! Before I took my little break from drawing I was horrible at noses but okay with mouths. Now its the other way around. It's nearly impossible to get just the right curve of the corner of the mouth without it looking like a smile. Not to mention it's suppose to be a serious straight face. So yeah, you can laugh at the mouth all you want hahaha it doesn't look anything like the picture I know. But I tried my best okay? Here it is

Go ahead! Tell me how completely different it is from the picture! But you try to get that mouth! I mean I'll try my best to fix it as much as humanly possible but hey. I did the best that I could at that moment. Oh and the next time you see me I'll most likely be carrying this picture around trying to figure out how on earth to make it better. I'm crazy some people think that its perfect but sadly I'm a perfectionist and the mouth in my opinion looks nothing like it. So I have to fix it immediately.

Don't let the Abominable Snowman eat your feet....ever

Hey everyone!
So the guard season is almost over which is crazy. It feels as if it went by too fast. And now there are so many good seniors leaving. But of course, most of them gossiped about other guard members. Anyways this saturday is our Lake Park competition in what was it....Roselle Illinois? I have no idea where that is but my normal car it is about and hour and 45 minutes. So it's going to take forever by bus. I'm going to come prepared of course with my tiny little ipod shuffle. I don't need an ipod touch with all those crazy apps to entertain me. I just grab my pillow pet and my earbuds and listen to some music. Although I only have 36 songs. But they are all good songs! Anyways, because of the competition on saturday I have to dress up to school tomorrow. Which I really don't wish to do. I ran out of things to dress up in! I have a skirt left and that's about it. I might have to wear that skirt anyways. The reason that we have to dress up is one of the millions of color guard superstitions. Along with wearing the key that I currently have on my neck. I don't even notice it anymore it's just kind of a part of me. Well, I just forget to take it off so I've had it on for a very long time. Since the before our first guard competition which I believe was January 28. So anyways if you see me tomorrow, I'll be dressed up. But not because I want to but because I have to. I don't usually like to dress up on fridays because friday is just a chill day. It's the last day before the weekend and I just want to relax and not have to worry about skirts or dresses or necklaces or anything like that. Its just so silly. Oh, and the silliest thing that I don't understand at all: School fashion in the winter. Okay, its snowing outside. I grab a sweater, yoga pants, shoes, and a coat. But other girls grab a loose shirt and a tight skirt with Uggs. That's the worst name to call a boot. Uggs. It's like really? It sounds like the worst shoes in the world. Plus they aren't exactly original either. They are just plain boots. Oh, but i've seen some of those boots that look like the Abominable Snowman ate their feet! It looks so silly that I am forced to hold back a laugh.

Rawr does not mean "I love you" in dinosaur

Hey everyone!
So do any of you remember when I wrote about Lexiles and the whole Jurassic Park story? Well, I finally turned in that paper today. And lets just say I'm a little big terrified for it. Mainly because I put all that effort into that one paper and if it doesn't get at least a 90% I'll be crushed to bits and pieces. I worked so hard on that paper for exactly a month long. I read the book and searched all over the internet and two libraries for stuff on Michael Crichton and then finally wrote all these notes on them and the MLA citations. I also wrote a 7 page outline for the paper. Alright, after I turned that in and my teacher looked at it. He told his other Honors class that I was crazy. I suppose I deserve that considering the paper is only supposed to be 2-4 pages long. My teacher told me that there was enough information there for a freshman in college. Enough for a 15 page essay. So I had to cut some stuff which killed me because I believed that I needed every single bit of  information on that outline. Of course I apparently didn't. However, the paper still turned out to be 6 full pages not including the Works Cited. After my class found that out thought, my teacher said that I'd own half the united states when I'm older. Gotta love freshman English teachers.

Angel of Music

Hey everyone!
So I am officially a dork, or crazy, or both. But you know what? I honestly don't care because I'd rather be myself in this. Anyways I just recently became obsessed with The Phantom of the Opera. Yes, the Gerard Butler movie and nothing less. Mainly because its such a good movie! The music is amazing and the story is awesome. Plus who doesn't like a cute guy in a mask? So Today I bought the book by Gaston Leroux and the DVD. I literally just finished watching the movie for the second time this week. And I'll probably watch even more of it later in the week. It's just such an amazing story and I feel so bad for the Phantom. I mean who doesn't feel for him? Raoul is just a guy that the main character Christine knew from her childhood, then all the sudden they're engaged right before Phantom's eyes. It's really not fair considering the phantom was technically there first....I can't believe that I'm arguing this. I didn't write the story, this Gaston did. However, if I even earn enough money to go to France one of these days, I am DEFINITELY going to the Opera Populaire. It's a real place that I will visit no matter what the cost. The only problem is getting there. Traveling overseas is expensive. And money is tight these days. I will try my best to do what I can with what little money I have. Maybe I should have done Le Grand Concour! I think it might be too late for that. If you don't know, Le Grand Concour is The Big Contest in french. It's basically where you take this big french test and then you can win stuff like trips to Paris. Of course I would have to study a whole bunch to win anything but it would have been worth a try! Maybe I should ask my french teacher if I can still enter. I probably still can, but there's the conflict of guard. The test is on a saturday and there's a practice and or a competition every single saturday! I'll never be able to take it! Huff, well, I keep joking around with my family about the Phantom now. Like if there's anything weird that happens like if my brother's ipod suddenly stops playing music I immediately say "The Phantom doesn't want you to listen to that song." What's really funny was my brother's reaction to it. We both just laughed though. But to be truthful. I didn't like the song anyway.

Metal Water?

Hey everyone!
So today is Mardi Gras! And I had my very first....oh gosh it's going to be fun to spell this...Paczki? I don't think that's right and my computer says its wrong but it doesn't think that I'm talking about that amazing desert. Of course the chocolate ones taste exactly like a giant boston creme from dunkin donuts but still. Also I have yet another thing. Why on earth does the water at my school taste like pennies?? I know that sounds really weird but if you go to my school you will understand that it does actually taste like pennies. Well, I'm not sure if its exactly pennies but just...metal. You know what metal tasting water is like right? Well, if you don't you know the smell of metal? Imagine the smell of that metal as a taste and then that being the taste of your water. It's so weird and everyone of the people that I've talked to about it agree. How does that even happen though? Maybe that's like a specific kind of well water. At my home we have tap water, but my friend LeAnn has well water. So it's like I can't drink water at her house because I'm so use to the tap water at mine. I don't usually have the school water. I mean in the summer I have to because its during colorguard and metal tasting water is better than no water right? Of course I'm right! Water is apart of your life! It's what...75% of your body? Something like that. Alright alright maybe that's not exactly right but I've never been a fan of the human body stuff. That for me is the creepiest part of Health/Science classes. Which is funny because I wish to become a Marine Biologist. But that's not human bodies those are fishies! Speaking of fishies you know that inflatable shark that I spoke about in a blog a while ago? Sure you do just scroll down!.............Alright now that you're back from reading that blog post....you probably didn't read it did you. Zut! Tu est penible! No translations needed. ANYWAYS that inflatable shark is finally set up! It's hiding in my closet right now but I've been flying it around for days. I have an 18 foot ceiling in my living room so it's very fun to fly it around in there haha. And it's looks exactly like it does in the picture that I put in the blog post that you probably never read when I told you to read it. Alright so this somehow all ties together with metal water. Because today is Mardi Gras! And luckily I had french class today so we had a little somewhat party with a king cake which has a very weird story. Apparently when you buy a Mardi Gras King cake it comes with this doll. And it's a naked baby that you are supposed to stuff in the cake after its baked, and then put frosting over the top. Whoever has the piece of cake with the baby has to host the next Mardi Gras party! It's really weird I know and we didn't hide the baby in the cake. My french teacher just threw it aside. But because of that king cake my mouth was really dry and so I got a drink of water and it tasted like pennies! And that's the wonderfully weird life of Tinkerbell.

Ramble Ramble!

Hey everyone!
So all of you should probably know by now that I am on the Open winter guard for LC. If you don't, read older blogs! But anyways because I'm on the open guard there are a lot more performances to worry about. This saturday is going to be one of the scariest so far. This weekend is Indy regional in which case we sleep in a hotel just like we did in color guard. But because of this Indy regional, our coach, Mr. B, is getting incredibly nervous. He gets super duper nervous about these winter guard competitions especially for the open guard. Meaning that he is going to yell at us a whole bunch. Confession: I hate being yelled at. It's a horrible feeling even when it's not you getting yelled at in the first place. You just get that feeling in your stomach and it just doesn't feel very good at all. It almost feels like guilt when your not even guilty. So that's my major worry this week, Mr. B screaming at us every practice and then being super stressed out about this competition. What stresses me out the most is the fact that its prelims and then finals. It depends on how good you are whether or not you make finals which is obvious and I shouldn't be explaining that. Anyways I'm really nervous because some people don't have the emotional connections the same way that others do. In my case this winter guard show is about my dad. He passed away from colon cancer before I even got into the 2nd grade and I barely got to know him. All I remember now is silly things like Disney world or piggy back rides or silly nicknames. For other people this show is about a breakup or a boyfriend cheating on you and breaking your heart. I've never actually had that feeling. I'd rather not have that feeling for a very long time. I don't really understand dating in middle school or high school. Mainly because there's so much other drama going on that you don't need anymore about whether your bf's tie matches the color of your dress or that they hugged some other girl or stupid things like that. I don't understand any of that kind of stuff. I guess that makes me a ton different than any other girl. I mean I'd rather be different than just like everybody else. Everyone wants to be "normal" but what exactly is the definition of normal. NO ONE IS NORMAL! Especially in high school. Not everyone is on the guard, not everyone is on the dance team, not everyone gets straight A's, not everyone gets straight D's. Everybody is different. And if you think that everyone being the same is cool, then you are thoroughly disturbed. Well, back to the fun stuff. I seemed to get a little serious there which rarely happens haha. ANYWAYS I finally got my loft bed installed and it's amazing! The only problem is I'm having trouble getting use to not sitting straight up in the morning haha. I've already done that a few times where I've hit my head on the ceiling. My mom and I started decorating my room too. We got a new rug, new curtains, new pillows and bed sheets. It's so much better than it was before! Before everything was bright blue and it had to be that way because otherwise things would clash! So now my room's walls are neutral color and then I have warm colors so it doesn't feel so cold. It's a lot more relaxing I have to admit. I will probably get a lot more homework done without the distraction of the bright blue walls. Well, I believe this is yet another edition to my series called "Ramble Ramble!" see you guys later!

Waking up isn't fun

Hey everyone!
So today was the hardest day to wake up this morning. I have no idea why because it's a friday and you'd think it would be easier because it would be like "Hey, one more day of this and then you get to sleep in a little" What I mean by sleep in a little is I have guard practice in the morning tomorrow. From 9 to 5. Well, I guess that's more sleep that I would usually get waking up at 5:45 every school morning. Ugh I really don't want to get ready for school or even go to school today. But of course I have to because of this weird thing about my school. At my school we have white days and blue days and today is a white day. Which doesn't make much a difference as to why I wouldn't wish to go to school. But the reason that I HAVE to go to school is because the last time that I missed a day 2 classes went from A's to C+'s. It's amazing how that all works right? Well, another reason is that I haven't exactly been sick this year at all. The only reason that I have missed school days it because of colorguard. I'll be missing a lot of days when WGI comes up. WGI is like our big big championships where we go to Dayton, Ohio. I just hope that nothing too crazy happens and I end up failing my classes. That would be HORRIBLE!
