"Lip Off"

One of our local banks hosts a lip synching contest every year which I was completely unaware of until recently. Our jazz band was asked to play at this contest so there wouldn't be silence between the different groups. There was a group who did the song "Who you Gonna Call" I thought they should have own, but they didn't instead a group who did a song from Hairspray won. In addition to all of this hey had what they call a "Lip Off" which sounds extremely weird. It's basically like a dance off with lip synching. Anyways for this "Lip Off" they decided to get volunteer from the audience except that no one was volunteering. So they made our band director pick people from his jazz band. Ol and behold I was one of the misfortunate people to be picked for this undesirable task. My best friend, this other girl, and I were forced on stage to participate in the "Lip Off." I received all the terrible songs that I didn't know he lyrics to. Also I'm a terrible dancer so to add to my embarrassment everyone in our jazz band decide to take videos of us. One guy even told us he put the video on Facebook. He didn't though or else I would have been very unhappy. My friend and I decided we're going to pull a prank on our band director to get back at him for volunteering us.

Doggie Out The Window

When it gets warm enough outside I like to keep my window while I sleep. I like have to feel the breeze on my face. It's nice and refreshing especially at the end of the day. Every night both of my dogs sleep in my room which can be a good thing and a bad thing. I like to cuddle with my dog as I'm falling asleep, but the other dog won't sleep on my bed. That dog sleeps on the floor and snores louder than any human. The dog that sleeps in my bed likes to bark at nothing which only happens on occasion during the winter. There are some nights in the spring that she wakes me up four times in one night with her barking. She's been doing that recently, so I decided to take the screen out of my window. Now, anytime my dog barks I throw her out my window. She can still get back inside, because we have doggie door, but she can't come back in my room and keep barking. Don't worry my window is about five feet from the ground, and I drop her gently from my window. I don't want to hurt her just make her stop barking.

Guilty Pleasure #6

This week I will share with you my secret love for musicals. I haven't watched a musical in awhile. I think the last one was Les Misrables. I saw that in theaters wih my friend. I didn't really like it that much. It felt too rushed compared to the version with Liam Neeson. My all time favorite musical is Singin in the Rain. I love it so much. I really love the dancing in it, because of Gene Kelly. Also, it has great music, so does The Music Man. I think I would like The Sound of Music more if it just wasn't so long. I also would like My Fair Lady better if Eliza didn't stay with Henry Higgins. I honestly can't remember all of the musicals I've watched. I went through a huge phase in middle school when all is watched was musicals. My mom would have to work Friday nights, so I would stay home and watch all the musicals I could that were available on Netflix. I would eat Top Ramen and hot dogs and try to stay awake until my mom got home. She usually would get home around 11-11:30. Sometimes later depending on how late people would stay. She cooked for a bar/winery. It was a winery during the week, but every Friday night people would flock there for live music. It really was a nice place sometimes I would go to work with my mom and help her out. One of my getting paid under the table jobs I did with my mom when I was that age. It only stayed open like that every Friday night for a few years until the owners got divorced. Now every once in awhile it has live music.

Guilty Pleasure #5

I am not a person who spends an over excessive amount of time on the internet unless if I'm extremely bored. Even then I hardly ever know what to do on the internet besides blog. That last sentence was partially a lie. My guilty pleasure for this weeks is internet quizzes. I recently found a site that has multitudes of quizzes. If anyone else loves internet quizzes like me here is the site:
http://www.gotoquiz.com/
I took a quiz on there about how high-class are you. Apparently, I'm 0% high-class. I guess that makes sense I haven't ever met anyone who would be considered high-class. I do live in a small town. Anyways, I don't really believe these quizzes I just think it's a fun way to waste time.

Texas

I've been home for a couple days now. My dad and I got home from our trip at 1:00 AM. We live an hour and a half from the nearest airport, so my dad drove home. I ended up sleeping in for school the next partly mostly to skip a test that I didn't have time to study for. We had a great trip though. I loved San Antonio and Austin and both of the colleges we visited. I am definitely going to apply to both and will be sorely depressed if I don't get into either one. I have a pretty high chance of getting into at least one since I fit the description of the type of student they. I am very concerned about being able to get into the music program since I don't know how well someone has to play to get in, but I think I can get in.
When we were in San Antonio it was extremely hot and humid especially compared to where we live. My dad and I were walking on the riverwalk into downtown, and he's jabbering away about "the hot prairie sun." He said he could see Pa even though Pa was dead and that he was going to die soon. The whole time he was talking to Jethro. I don't know where he gets these stories, but he does. He has quite an imagination for a fifty year old man. He also kept talking about things he would do if there was a zombie apocalypse. He would let the guy who made my sandwich join our group, because he was very nice.
During our layover we didn't have much time to get to our plane, so we had to hurry. I got stuck behind this woman with her two kids that were running back and forth making it impossible for me to pass. When I finally saw my chance I hurried passed them, but I hear thud. The little girl that was probably two years old had ran into my suitcase and fallen face first. Of course she began to cry, and I turned and apologized. After that every time we saw a little kid crying my dad would say, "Hey Stacy, there's another kid you can hit your suitcase with."
The entire trip was very enjoyable. We were able to see a couple of new bands we hadn't heard of in concert, because we were in Austin. We saw Judah and the Lion and Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors. Both we're good, but I liked Judah and the Lion better even though they were the opening band.
I wish I was still there. I didn't want to come home at all. I really do hope I can move to down there for college.
