Dance Company

As all of you know, I LOVE to dance. Well I figured that I would go to high school and join the dance company. Well it turns out that my new school, Salem Hills High School, is not going to have one. They will only have the drill team (EWWW!!!) and cheer leading. Me and others are very upset and we are trying to think of ways for us to be able to have the dance company. We are thinking of going around to different companies and getting sponsors. If you have any suggestions for me that would help in anyway, I would love to hear them! Thank you!!

Sleep.

Do you ever have those days when you just want to lay in bed and fall asleep at like 5 or 6 at night? Well I have those days about once or twice a week. I don't always get that privilege but i did last night. It was LOVELY! I fell asleep at 6:45-ish p.m. and woke up at 6:00 a.m. That is a good 11 hours of sleep! I don't know what it is, but when I lay down in my bed and read a good book, I usually fall asleep and FAST! I love sleep. Who doesn't?

SEVEN THINGS!

Well this is a brutal thing to do to someone who just started her blog. Thanks mal. Thanks a bundle. I dont know quite what I am doing, so just bear with me... Here goes.

1) I am deathly afraid of someone chasing me. I dont know why or how this came about, but I can NOT stand it when people chase me. Even if it is a family member or a friend, I will scream bloody murder if someone runs after me. That is why I always run up the stairs. I am afraid that there is a ghost or a snake chasing me... Nerdy i know.

2) I can not stand eating white foods. I don't know exactly why but it just doesn't seem right to eat that is white. Thats one of the reasons why I don't eat: school's mash potatoes, sour cream, some Alfredo sauce, swiss cheese and mayo.

3) I LOVE greek mythology and learning about all of the different gods and their powers. I like all the stories and the lessons they teach and the things they explain. For example, we have thunderstorms because Zeus gets angry and throws his lightning bolts.

4) I love the go to school. It isn't necessarily because of the classes, but more that I get to be with all of my friends. I do love some subjects thought. Like English, drama, and sometimes math. I love going to school because i get to see my friends that dont live in my ward and I'm not cooped up in the house....

5) I LOATHE vacuuming. I can not stand it. And it just so happens that one of my things I do to pay my mother back for borrowing money is just that, vacuuming. Luckily we also have little Roda to make my troubles just a little easier.... :)

6) One of my pet peeves is when people say "I seen it" instead of "I saw it". And of course i moved to payson where practically EVERYONE says "I seen it". Its a nightmare and I am constantly trying to correct my friends but now they do it just to get one my nerves... and it works!

7) I love the color of blood! It is such a majestic, deep red that catches my eye. I hate that it comes out of my body, but the color is GORGEOUS!

Drama, Drama, Drama!

Well as you know, I am in junior high. The official friend drama headquarters. You would think that people would get sick of all the fighting, bad talking and loosing friends! But no! People seem to find it FUN! Who is crazy enough to think it fun you might ask...? My answer would be... A LOT OF PEOPLE! Some people LIVE off it! And if they don't have drama going on around them, they make their own! DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW ANNOYING THAT IS???
Well here is a little more of the drama that is taking place at my school. I found out that this girl hates me for no reason... whats new? Boys are just drama ALL THE TIME! Then there is always the two friends who like the same person and it creates way to much tension. There is plenty more but I think I will save it for next time! :)

ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!

GOOD NEWS! I am now officially an actress! I have been inducted into the National Society of Thespians! It may not sound like something way way cool but it means a lot to my teacher, the Productions Company at my school, and it means SO much to me! I just had to tell ya the good news! :)

Well I am back to tell you more about my life. This is an average wednesday....
Wake up @ 5:45.
Go to school from 7:50 to 2:35.
Play Practice from 2:50 to 4:45.
Dance from 4:45 to 6:00.
Get home and eat dinner from 6:30 to 7:00.
Go to young womens from 7:00 to 8:30.
Get home and do homework from 8:45 to 10:00.
Then go to bed.

Now i know that that may not sound like a lot to you older people who work, but for a fifteen year old, its A LOT! But i love it!

A look into my everyday life...

So... this is the dumb friend stuff that has been happening so far at school....
My friends Josh and Michelle like each other.

Hola... Well i know that this blog is supposed to be all about dance, drama, and singing, but i will also include someone of my life and little things like happen. Like friends drama and dumb stuff that makes me mad. It sounds really stupid but i think that certain things will give you all a laugh!

DANCE, DANCE

This little post is dedicated to dancing and the many different kinds there are to choose from. You have: modern, jazz, hip-hop, contemporary, lyrical, Latin (cha-cha, rumba, etc.) , standard (waltz, fox trot, etc.), Irish, folk dancing and many others. Every culture has a way of dancing. They express their beliefs through the music and dancing. When you choreograph a dance, your listen to the song you have picked and then put together the dance moves that you feel would fit the music and the dancers the best.
Passion is a huge part of dancing. In one week of So You Think You Can Dance, each contestant was given a emotion that had to do with the world (such as peace, love, etc.) Then they were all taught the same dance. After they were taught the dance, each contestant took the emotion they were given and put it in that dance. The outcome of this challenge was amazing. And it all became that way through passion and the understanding of what the emotion was.

What the blogs all about...

Today I find myself at the computer trying to figure out what to say in this blog. The only thing that I can find to talk about is the entertainment and media we find in our world everyday. Singing, dancing and acting. At least those are the ones that popped out at me. I love the act. I love to sing. So naturally I love to dance. When you truly look at these different professions you don't only find a lot of money, but a lot of passion. These professions don't only give you the chance to express yourself but to become someone your not.

To allow someone to see into a characters life like it were your own. I hope that you enjoy this simple blog...
