Many a Word...

Okay. So, it is almost Easter. Woot! Anywho, I have a lot to say, today. Hopefully, I will remember it all.


First of all. Has anybody read Mockingjay? I'd like to get some people together and act out a scene from the book. It's for an oral report in English. Let me know if you're interested. It has to be done by May 5. Thanks! More details to come, if you're interested. Also, if you're acting in it, you can help me choose which scene to act out.
This is Mockingjay, the 4th and last book in the Hunger Games series.


Random thought: Glee does a fabulous version of "Baby" by Justin Bieber.


So, I don't think anybody who reads this blog goes to West Jordan High, but if you are one of the few who do, if there by any of you, please help me out. We're required to audition again for Concert Choir this year. For auditions, you're required to not only audition yourself, but to recruit someone else to try out with you, that's where the WJHS people come in. I've found a boy who will try out for me but I don't think he's very serious about it. So, he's kind of like my back up plan if I don't find anyone else. Also, to anyone who has heard me sing, any ideas on what to sing for my 1 minute solo? I sang a hymn for Belles Voix, my first year. Didn't have to sing last year. I sang "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)" for Madrigal auditions this year... Now what do I sing?


I was in Chemistry today and I was writing down the notes and what not... And I really need a tutor....


Well, it's my bedtime. (I finished this really late.) Good night!

Pet Peeves.

After reading Jarom's post, I wanted to rant about some of my own pet peeves...

One thing, that my family can attest to, is bodily noises. I despise them. I don't know why. They just irk me. When my mom sneezes, it drives me nuts. I know she can't help it but I can't help it either. Or when someone swallows something really loud or swallows spit or something, it just drives me crazy. Although, burping and passing gas doesn't bother me quite as much... Anywho, bodily noises are one of my pet peeves.

Another thing that bugs me is people who are idiots. I don't mean people who aren't on the honor roll every quarter or people who aren't as educated as you people in the IB (IV?) program at Hillcrest. I mean people, who are just stupid to be stupid. I understand when it's people who really don't know how to do an assignment or don't know what a certain word means... but some people are just idiots. Like, in seminary, there's  a boy who was saying that "cheating helps you in life" and "cheating got so-and-so far in life" and dumb stuff like that. No, cheating is not helpful and you are not helping your friends by letting them cheat off you. I know he knows that. Everyone knows that. He's just saying it so he can disagree with the teacher and make his stupid friends laugh at him. That boy in particular drives me nuts!

Another pet peeve I have, is swearing. I don't know if I've ranted about it on here or just Facebook... but I don't like swearing. It sounds totally stupid and makes you sound uneducated. In English, we're reading "Death of a Salesman", which requires certain people to swear. They're not allowed to change the words. I can see why she would do it like that, her being the type of teacher she is, but still... And I'm so sick of hearing curse words all throughout the hallways at school. I'd like to escape that for a time by going to seminary. OF ALL PLACES! The kid referred to in the paragraph above ^ is consequentially, the boy who swears in class, in SEMINARY! Ugh. I can't stand it....

Funny picture to remind you all that I love you. ;)
Well, there's my rant for now. I might rant more later. And to anyone who reads this, if it applies to you, I still love you. I do love you all, I just have weird pet peeves. Thanks for being my friends, nonetheless! :)

April Fools!! :)

Me:"Mom, I can't go to Grouse Creek. Madrigal auditions are today." Mom:What? What time are tryouts? "3 to 7" Mom:Call me when you can please *I call her and she doesn't respond* *she calls me and I miss it* *she leaves long voice mail telling me to do well and asking about Grouse Creek* *I call her back* Mom:I'm on the phone with someone. "I just have a real quick message" Mom:Okay. What is it? "APRIL FOOLS!" *hangup* :)

(the words in the " " ^ are me speaking, just fyi.)

My sweet mom... :)
Later, when I was in class, she texted me "You are a stink". I said "Love you mom :)". She said "love you too... stinker *upset smiley face*". :) I'm gonna get it when she gets home.
