*smiles and giggles*

hmmm not sure what to write...

if i don't know what to write then i have learned it is probably best not to write but...i never listen to myself so whatever. i'm listening to against me: new wave! and its really good actually. i wasn't so sure because it was one of my brothers bands he saw at warped tour but i like it. i'm going to have to get it on my ipod. i wish i knew what to write... i wish alot of things actually. yummmmm warm blackberry goodness! sooo amazingly comforting.
i think i'm in a funk. and it sux. not like nething bad has happened. its like looming and impending badness and like sometimes i just get really restless with myself. like i don't have ne clue what to do and then i try to focus on things or keep myself busy but i can't. its driving me absolutely crazy and i have somehow decided to talk to the rentals which makes me want to go hide under some friendly rock with a smiley face painted on it. i need a big smiley face. and a really big hug. and something to keep me extremely busy. so to heal all lonely (y am i lonely?? who knows?? i'm surrounded by 3 other incredibly close ppl but is that even the right word- lonely??) wounds and other things and such i of course turn to my lovely depressed playlist. ahhh my ever faithful music. how i love u.

AND PAIGY!!! i wan't sure if ud check the comments so i put some really big bold obnoxious purple letters on my post, but thursday?? works for me!! always check under the newest post and i'll prob leave one just for u! and i know- ask pat, that movie FREAKED ME OUT!!! lol! i'm such a baby but i had the weirdest dreams last night- and what was up with batmans voice right?? but heath was perfection!! love him! talk to u later lovely and c u thurs. looking forward to the playing dress up ;P i really hope they fit!! *crossing fingers*

my most embarrassing moments...

i've never been one of those ppl to just know what their top 5 most embarrassing moments are when asked. i'm sure i have plenty but i don't remember them and when i do i try to forget. i feel like i haven't had any extremely embarrassing moments in a while. but...in the past two weeks i have had two events that are both mindblowingly strange and really quite embarrassing and so without further ado i will write them out.

Incident #1:
it was a long night after swim practice probably 2 weeks ago and i had finished eating dinner and wanted to get some ice cream. my dad and brother were getting strawberry but i didn't want any of it so i decided to have my vanilla with hot fudge and sprinkles- how fun!! so i had my ice cream all scooped out and got the hot fudge and realized it was getting empty so when i put it in the microwave for 45 seconds on high (which is what the instructions says to day i might add) i decided to put it in upside down. after like 30 seconds i started to hear this sizzling popping sound and ran over to the microwave to slam open the door. at the exact same moment that i did, the lid exploded sending the bottle of steaming hot fudge everywhere, and on me. as i was cleaning up the microwave and the kitchen i noticed that my arm and neck felt like they were stinging so when i looked down i saw that in like 5 mins my arm and neck had little blisters on them from the burning hot fudge. i told my dad and had him look at them but i just told my mom that i had burnt myself with the curling iron again (i do it often and most of the time it looks like hickey...) and that i scratched my arm. eventually i told her but i still have like little scabs from where it blistered and now they are s...l...o...w...l...y healing.
watch out for hot fudge!

Incident #2:
on friday night we were hanging out and i had to go home but the rest of my friends decided to go for a drive with kait bhind the wheel- i'm not really sure y but she had a really good cd that i wanted to burn so last night on the way home pat and i both asked for it but somehow he still got to take it bcuz he said he would burn it faster or something, i don't know but i told him that today i was gonna show up at his house after church and get the cd from him when i was on a walk with my dog. so as i was leaving my mom goes "are u gonna stop by jenny's" and i said yes bcuz i had to give her one of the cds so my mom decides that she got some really good cantaloupe and watermelon and that i should take it over to jenny's. and i was like oh god no i'm gonna look like such a dork but whatever. so i grabbed my bag to carry the stupid fruit in and got my dog and we started our walk. before i had even left i had talked to patrick and told him i was coming and to answer the door when i got there. so i walking and walking and walking and i ran into his mom and i was like oh good i know hes home and everything. as i round the corner i see jenny and her mom pulling out of the neighborhood and i'm just standing there thinking now "oh my freaking god i'm carrying fruit around with me for nothing!!! u have got to be kidding me!!" bcuz now there was no way i was gonna leave the cantaloupe and watermelon on there doorstep. so i kept walking cuz let me tell u i really wanted that cd and when i finally got to the pats house i had skamp and he was like pulling on me but i walked up to the front door and rang the door bell. nobody came. so i did i again. nobody came. so then i though oh it must b broken. but at that exact moment a bunny flew out of one of their front bushes and skamp like dove towards it which means i almost fell over, almost taking out half of there plants on their doorstep. so when i got skamp all settled down i decided to knock. once. twice. THREE times and NOBODY ANSWERED and the thing is that i knew they were home. so i took skamp and i walked away like a complete idiot with melon and no awesome cd.
so pat ur gonna bring me that cd on monday night at swim- and get a new doorbell or maybe a hearing aid!!

ok i have to go pack to go to sarahs so i'll c u all later and get a really good laugh out of this cuz i felt like a complete and total idiot and klutz and you won't bring these up later, ever!!!!

Pavan- first week!!

ok so i'm just gonna do like little (ya- it didn't turn out so little...) review of pavan just to give u an idea of how obsessed with dancing i am and how much fun it is!

Attire:
black leotard
pink tights
shorts/skirt (only after ballet class)

Hair:
ALWAYS a clean bun- usually alot of hairspray and bobby pins to keep it in place

Stuff i always need:
DANCE SHOES!! (ballet soft shoes, pointe shoes, black jazz shoes, tan jazz shoes, flat tap shoes, heel tap shoes)
leg warmers
sweatshirt
ipod
camera
money
book (right now City of Bones- part of the mortal instruments series and REALLY good if u into fantasy which everyone seems to be right now!)
planner (to try to keep my life incredibly organized)
sunglasses
lunch

Schedule during the typical day:
6am- wake up and get in the shower, go through daily routine, do hair, put on leo and tights with regular clothes over it (cuz we don't need ppl thinking dancers are ne weirder than we are!!)
7:20am- get on the bus at the middle school with annan and kitty, spread my bags EVERYWHERE!!
7:50am- pick up the loud obnoxious kids from the other school where i am forced to move all my bags. (annan and i have this theory that ppl don't like the dancers bcuz they won't sit newhere near us like we bite or something, which we don't just for the record! we think its from last year bcuz we spend the last 3 days at the regular high school so we can get used to the stage space and mark our pieces but...the theater kids think the stage is theirs so they don't want nebody on it even tho its out time slot to have it. so we got kicked off the stage last year and i'm really hoping that doesn't happen agian...)
8:45am- we arrive at the high school and i lug all my stuff off the bus and we sit outside (or inside depending on how hot it is) for one of the louden county buses to come and pick us up.
8:55am-we ride over to the shenandoah conservatory that has dance studio space
9:10am- we run into the studio (usually late from the bus ride)
9:10-10:45am- ballet class with a LIVE ACCOMPANIST!!! which is just mindblowingly amazing and really awesome!!! and we can't wear ne shorts or skirts in ballet class so i'm always freezing until we get warmed up. we usually spend 30 mins at the barr and then do a petite allegro, across the floor combos like leaps, work on turns, and then do a grande allegro with a reverence at the end.
10:45-12noon-we work on one of our performance pieces, usually the lyrical (lyrical is a combination of ballet and modern) piece that we are doing to apologize by timberland. its really fun and i like the choreography but its a bit sloppy bcuz ur so free to interpret the movement to make it ur own that sometimes it looks really bad but we have all next week to clean it. or we do our ballet piece sometimes that is really quite pretty. both of them back me pant and sweat but the tricky thing is is to make it look completely effortless...which is very hard sometimes!!
12noon-12:30pm- LUNCH!! get to sit and talk to annan and sarah, everyone else is so quiet and they never want to b in the conversations.
12:30-12:45pm- work on our other piece- just a runthrough to keep in fresh.
12:45-1:55pm- MY FAVORITE CLASS OF THE DAY!!!!!!!!! its a hip hop (ya not my fav- i look so white doing it but the good thing is that nobody is really good at it so...) and jazz class and its so much fun. we're doing a latin jazz piece and it really really really fast and precise and its so fun!!! but shes tough and really intense- i wish i could have her all year cuz i love her style and i feel like i'm getting better rather than not improving at all. so when we run through this piece, if we mess up we have to do 5 push ups for every time we messed up. i only did 5 yesterday but i'm pretty sure more push ups are in my future but there was one girl who spent practically the entire afternoon looking at the floor bcuz shes a ballet dancer and if felt so bad for her. its a great piece and SO FUN!!!
1:55pm- annan and i run out of the studio to make sure the bus doesn't leave us (we have to leave 20 mins b4 everyone else to get back to the hs and its so STUPID!!!)
2:10pm- wait for the rest of pavan to let out, annan and i usually change out of our clothes bcuz we are already really sweaty and sitting on a really loud bus with no air conditioning isn't my idea of fun
2:20pm- we leave for home, i read or listen to my ipod, or talk but usually i'm SO tired that i just don't want to form sentences! the stupid kids in the front makes TONS of noise and its so annoying that i just want to break the guitar they use to sing and just tell them to shut up!
3:36pm- back at the middle school!!!! and my day is done- i usually nap b4 going to swim practice or whatever else i have to do, go to bed at 10ish and wake up and do it all over again the next day!!!

5 MOST USED PHRASES IN PAVAN:
5) "girls!! remember ur posture- pull up, zip up ur ribs, hips facing forward, shoulders over hips. ur movement should come from ur legs, not ur torso!"
4) "use ur extremities- make them beautiful!!! it does u no good to have beautiful posture, arms and legs if ur paying no attention to the lines that are created with ur hands and feet. POINT UR FEET!!!!!!"
3) "use ur head- it should follow ur arm, engage ur viewer, make them want to watch u, dance with ur ENTIRE body, i want to c ur entire head move not just ur eyes!!!"
2) "when ur turning, feel that force pulling ur upper half up and keep it lifted while really PUSHING into the floor with ur feet!! USE UR SPOT GIRLS!!!"
and for the number one!!
1) "USE UR PLIE, UR MOVEMENTS, TURNS, BALANCES, EVERYTHING, WILL BE NOTHING WITHOUT A DEEP DEEP PLIE!!!!!!!!!!!"

DAY 5- LAST DAY OF WEEK ONE!!!

i get to sleep in tomorrow and not dance for two entire days before i go back to my crazy busy schedule!!!!!!! i'm pumped and i'm gonna to absolutely NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!

day three

AND ITS SO MUCH FUN!!!

day one...

uhhhh too tried to explain- i might later but probably not. i'm gonna go get a power nap b4 a KILLER swim practice. i swear if i don't loose like 10 lbs from two weeks of dancing all day and swimming every evening then i'm pretty sure there's no hope for me in the weight loss programs of the world. my abs are killing me...ouch...ouch...ouch...ouch...and my legs- i think i've taken to waddling from sitting in splits for 60 SECONDS!! ugh.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

editing...

so i need a new name- ne suggestions???

PAVAN!!!

ok so PAVAN stands for Preforming And Visual Arts Northwest just in case u didn't know and its where students from all around my area audition to be in this two week intensive program. u can go for dance (ME!!! and Annan and Sarah!!!), art, singing (Kitty!!), acting, jazz band, or guitar. i think i got them all... for the dancers u had to come in to an audition class for about an hour and then preform a prepared solo in front of the judges/instructors. it was pretty intense but i got in- obviously- and it starts MONDAY!!! i'm kinda pumped bcuz i get to c sarah and annan everyday which is SO amazing but...i did it last year and i defiantly hated it the first entire week because i just kept on focusing on how everybody else was so much better then me and i didn't have much classical ballet training or any good modern training so it was hard but this year i will have fun and it was turn out amazingly!!! hopefully...cross my fingers...wish upon a shooting star...
anyways, hmmm what else???
oh i'm going to babysit the 3 (!!!) little kids across the street, the youngest one will b asleep i think so it should b easy. and...i feel like there was something extremely importante that i completely cannot remember so...
i'm so super hungry- food calls

hehe!!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!
i'm decking myself out in all red, white, and blue!!

ok time for some daily ramblings and not-so-exciting happenings...

hmmm where to start?
i will start with complaining about being in the throws of a swim team, with a ridiculously annoying coach, and how much i love swimming just not when i loose...which is alot!
ok so our team is alittle unconventional (or at least where we live) but we having morning practice on tuesday (used to b more but they cut it down to one day) and i love waking up and getting in the water (even tho its FREEZING) but it just feels good and makes me motivated. i was, of course, doing our warmup, shivering in the water and swimming my laps dreading the meet that night which is weird for me but...
the night before my mom had been putting in the entries for last nights meet and i was helping her, reading off what the coaches had put us in and as i got down to the relays i knew exactly who was on the A team by even looking at it but then the B and C teams get alittle mixed up sometimes depending on whos on vacation or away. this week pat and kitty's familys are on vacation so its sad bcuz i love them both but i didn't think nething about it. as i read off the B relay team i realized that i wasn't on and and that there was nobody to swim the free style leg so i moved on to the C relay team and guess who was on it??? ya me!! not a happy realization especially since i was swimming the BUTTERFLY LEG!!!!!!! eh it was horrible and i argued argued with my mom about switching me out of it and into the freestyle spot on the B team but she wouldn't do it. if pat or kitty had been there, they would have done it but no, they had the amazing idea to go on vaca on the exact same week so i was stuck.
then at the meet last night i did...ok but not the best. when we got to the relay i was FREAKING OUT and my dad was timing in my lane so i grabbed onto his arm and just waited there shaking. it was the most horrible feeling but when it was time to go i just jumped in and did my freakishly horrible butterfly but when the last freestyle leg of our relay time came to the wall WE BEAT THE B TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and niki and i seriously got out of the water and jumped in a circle and SCREAMED!!! it was so much fun!! and my ribbons ended up looking like italy so i've been Mexican, Japanese, and Italian this year!!
