Sudden realization.

the blog's first post is on december 6 of 2008.

that means I've done this blog for a year and a little more.

Looking back makes me realize how much my writing and my life has changed.

That's one of the best parts of having a blog.

I'd like to quickly thank my amazing followers for stalking me so nicely, and for all the comment support I've received over 76 long and sometimes bland marvelous posts.

So, um...thanks.

Home Again. Update.

Aaaaah.

This is my winter break so far:

I hopped in a subaru that STILL slightly reeks of Joey barfing in it when he was like six, aaaaaaalllll the way to Farmington, MO, which is a short drive from st.louis, to my Grandma's house in the middle of nowhere.

Okay, so it's not too bad, other than I can't kvetch to people over texting, but still it's pretty ummmmm....not kid friendly.

Well...alright. She has a pool table and cooks the fattiest, tastiest food evaar.

Nevermind that. We got there Christmas Eve, took a looong hike, ate junk, opened presents, and stayed until Monday, where we packed up and drove to Hannibal to see my great uncle and Aunt. Apparently, they are my oldest surviving relative on my Dad's Dad's side.

We drove, then stopped at a hotel, where my parents were smart and got two separate rooms so everyone got a bed to themselves. And then in the morning we watched junky cable then drove to my great uncle's house.

They made us a nasty pot roast on styrofoam trays and neon yellow lemonade.

gross. They were really nice though.

we left and drove home.

So there is my winter vacation so far.

A little on the sucky side.

But I did get an iHome.

Which is good, since my old one is hardly compatible with my iPod, and makes crackly noises if you crank it up too loud.

This one is waaay nicer.

Also my parents had another rare stroke of genius when they got me stuff from my favorite online store, ModCloth.

I may or may not put up pictures.

That's all I got. Happy Holidays.

Happy Christmannukah?

My family is jewish, except my dad, and so we celebrate Christmas and Hanukah.

Tonight is the first night of Hanukah.

sadly, though, I have a show.

Which really sucks because I can't stuff myself on chocolate and latkes.

But I did get a present early. My mom got me a stage makeup bag, so I just put all my ben nye stuff into that.

Yaaaaaay.

The Spinning Beach Ball of Doom, Voice Lessons, and a junior rant.

The only bad part about macs?

when they are loading, this spinning pinwheel appears. It's supposed to be sleek, and cheery, possible sexy seeing what the previous intentions of macintosh were/are, but I see it as impending doom.

Mac, or PC?

They're both fucking annoying.

I'm currently taking voice lessons, and this guy Brad, my teacher makes me sound like I can't sing.

Maybe I can't, but he just keeps on making me sound worse.

Okay. So some of it is so-so, but the rest?

Odd. Weird.

Working my butt off.

And what's worse is that I have a solo in Serbian for choir. SERBIAN.

neesh-kah ban yah, tohp la vo-dah.

Za nish lee yay, nah may kav lah.

that's just how it's pronounced.

We're performing with jefferson and Edison choirs.

Which is weird, because today we practiced at Edison, where they have an actual auditorium.

And some farkin' short sixth grade tenors.

Yeah, my voice was pretty bad in time for voice lessons.

A mini Rant!

The US is very pessimistic. We have anouncements and little events for the date of pearl harbor, but not when we have like an international hug day?

CHEER UP. NOW.

kay. done.

my stupid parents limit my comp time now. gotta go.

Damn it.

A lovely little rant. And and Update. Kvetchtime.

Might post this on facebook, because that's what I do when I wanna tell someone what I think of them without telling everyone who I'm talking to.

ACC is going pretty well, but everyone is sooo stressed and this year they're making me sing about Jesus. And if I complain, I'll be called out for auditioning knowing this was a Christianity-based show.
On the plus side, I actually have a shape to me in my costume this year, and that's always nice.

Todays topic of kvetching is Hypocrites.
They annoy me. My little brother is one of the many annoying in my life. He'll tell me to crank my movie down so he can sleep, then I come down and his ihome is vibrating off his table because it's so loud. Ugggh.

And also, people at FMS tell me that I talk about people too much. which, by the way, is NOT true.
And later I hear them gossiping about me.
Kind of ticks me off.

This sixth grader at our school mysteriously died. They never told us how, or why, only that she died last weekend. It's weird, I think it's really sad that a girl so young just died like that, but I'm not depressed to some huge extent.
They didn't even tell us how this girl died! She just died. That's all.
Apparently the funeral was today at like 11am.And all these teachers in sixth grade weren't at school because of it.

The weirdest part is that my great-uncle died too.
The same weekend.
And right now my parents are in hannibal for THAT funeral.
Hells to the Creepy.
In a sad way, I guess. My dad didn't seem as depressed as the school feels about it.
They made a Kiani memorial fund, and are giving out sour punch straws if you give them money.
Its kind of interesting.
And it makes me think about death a little more.
But I have no time to think about that. ACC opens tonight and I need to get there early to sing about Jesus.
Sigh.
