Long Time No Talk!

I've been a busy bee since we last talk! Yeah, Emmys are over- I just wanted to talk in my Emmy voice. I have joined a ton of clubs! I've joined JSA, GSA, Band Equipment Management, Human Relations Club, and the crew for the play! I'm just going to sum up what happened today, because it's the most exciting day this week but we'll touch up on other things.
So today I wanted to join color guard, but I was too late to join so I talked to the band director so I'm in charge of laying out the color guard's flags and helping with electronics. I know it sounds lame, but in the spring I'll be in color guard in the spring for a parade. It should be a lot of fun since I have friends in the color guard and the band. Like I said earlier the theme is Fiddler on the Roof so I bet I'm going to be sick of the music by the end of the football season.
The season premiere of Glee was on last night and I loved it! The music was so good and Chris Colfer did ah-mazing job of course! I just saw the season premiere The Middle and it was... eh. I don't really like The Middle anymore just because... it isn't really funny anymore. Watching Modern Family right now and it's so funny! I've loved Modern Family much more since I got the season 1 DVDs. What I don't get is why they took the girl who played Lily- who's supposed to be, like, 2 now- by a 4 year old! It's weird. My family came up with who my family is like in Modern Family.

  • Claire- My Mom- She has a lot of rules. XD
  • Phil- My Step Dad- He's the fun parent that bases his parenting off of peerenting.
  • Hailey- Me!- I'm a stereotypical teenager like Hailey.
  • Alex- My Sister- She's annoying and obnoxiously smart.
  • Luke- My Step Brother- Luke is... special.
That's all for now!
Bless ya! Love ya!

World's Greatest Football Team!

Yesterday I said I would post something about the game, but I didn't get home till like 10:30 and I was wiped out from waking up early all week. The football game started out well with us getting a touchdown (6 points) in the first quarter, but after we missed the field goal (1 point) it went down hill from there. After the team missed the field goal, Sydney, *Bianca, and I went on an "adventure"- which was just really us walking around the field.
I saw *Katy and *Brynn at the game. Katy waved to me, but Camille didn't seem to notice me. Sydney introduced me to these 2 guys *Matt and *Tom. They were a year younger than us, but they were funny and nice. I discovered that Matt knows my step- brother *Landon- my step- brother and I don't have the same last name. I don't if he was surprised in a good or a bad way that he was my step- brother. I'm also not sure how Matt knew Landon considering they go to different schools and other minor details. I don't really care though.
The marching band performed a half time show of If I Were a Rich Man, Match Maker, Match Maker, Sunrise Sunset, and The Bottle Dance all from Fiddler on the Roof. If you haven't seen Fiddler on the Roof and you like Broadway classics, I highly recommend seeing the movie. You have to see the one from the 80's that's 3 hours long though. I know it's long, but it's totally worth it! Here's my favorite scene:

Can you even imagine how much leg strength and practice that must take? I just started doing jazz dancing again and I can hardly get my turn perfected! The performance was really good, but they couldn't do their actual march because with all the rain they haven't gotten time to practice. I tried to get my friend to laugh the whole time. I got her to smirk by doing some messed up Jenna Marbles face- look up "How to Avoid People You Don't Want to Talk to" on Youtube if you don't know what I'm talking about.
It was all really fun. I got to talk to some of my- hopefully- co- actors in the school play. My friend *George who is 2 years older than me talked about Nathan Lane with me. We're both big fans of Mr. Lane. In the end my school lost 6 to 31. We're probably the worst team in the state. A few years ago our varsity team had to verse freshman to win homecoming! True story. Well, that's all for today. I have to go to a party soon, so that's all for now!
Bless ya! Love ya!
