Fall

It's finally here. One of my favorite seasons of the year. It's pretty cold out there right now. I'm wearing socks and a sweater. YAAAY! :D Everything is very peaceful right now. My sisters started school today so yet again it is the band of five. I have to admit, I am enjoying it thoroughly. Things have been so crazy and hectic lately, I'm so glad things are cooling down a bit. Clara and my mom drove to Seattle last week for a few days. Clara had another thing with some college down there. I'm not even sure which one it was. But in any case, it's the last trip they will be taking for a while. ( YAY!!!)

I'm going through some theater withdrawal right now. I miss it so much. CYT's Peter Pan auditions were a few weeks ago. I didn't get to audition sadly. I really wanted to but it just wasn't possible this time. Lot's of my friends got in. I am really excited about seeing it. it's going to be amazing. and yes, they are going to fly. *SIGH* It gives me chills just thinking about it. I can't wait.

I went to a Youth Group for the first time in my life on Sunday. It was ok I guess. I went with a family I really love, so that made it fun. I still don't really know what to think of it. My parents have wanted to get me in to one all year. But it just doesn't seem worth it. I don't really fit in with the other kids there. And thats just fine. I'm not really interested in being in their clicks. They seem so... immature. It feels really weird to say that being that I am younger then most of them, but the way they would act around each other was so strange! And of course they were all flirting with the guys and everything. And they weren't very respectful to the adults there. And they didn't seem to want to learn anything. It was like they just came for the social part. It was kind of frustrating. I had a feeling that is was going to be like that. So it wasn't a big surprise or anything. I just had some hope that it would be different and was disappointed when it wasn't. So yeah. I had a good time for the most part. But I don't think I want to be a part of that. Oh well.

Books! I am reading Inkspell at the moment. I love it. It's so much fun to read. I love the characters in that book. I am really excited for the movie Inkheart to come out. but at the same time I'm dreading it. Andy Serkis is too comical to be Capricorn
. and the guy who is playing Dustfinger is BLOND! Dustfinger has BROWN hair. He just doesn't look right at all. And one more thing. the Guy who is playing Mo, also played George of the Jungle. WHY?!?!?! I swear I won't be able to look at him with out thinking of that. *SIGH* oh well. I hope they do a good job despite the casting. :P Anyway. I also finished reading Peter Pan last week. I've been trying to read that one for a really long time, but I've never gotten past the first chapter. You kind of have to get used to the language. It's written like a play! It's very fascinating. I really enjoyed reading it. I think it might be a favorite. :) ok I think I'm done now. :D
Later!

September. :)

Where to start! It's amazing how things stack up after you haven't posted in awhile. I'm sorry about that. things have been kind of crazy. But a peaceful kind of crazy... :P So! Here it is. the school year. It's not much different then summer for me. I was doing school all through the summer, so all that's really different is that the homework is more intense then it is during the summer. I'm pretty happy.
Oh! I have a new piano teacher! Her name is Chelle. She's pretty nice. I've only had three lessons with her, so we are still kind of feeling each other out, if that makes any sense. She's having me pick out some music at home that I like so she can find out what kind of music I'm interested in playing. That's kind of nice.

Half my family is in Colorado right now. Clara is auditioning for the flute teacher at Bolder, and my other sister Karen is auditioning for the voice at some other college in Colorado. so this week it's just me and my oldest sister Dana in the house. and of course Maleny and David. But mostly it will be just me because Dana works. It hasn't been so bad so far. I actually handle things pretty well. David helps me make dinner and sometimes we will do something fun afterwords. we have a good time. and Auntie stops by after work to check on me. so that's really nice. David has been a real sweet heart. Which makes me happy. I'm glad he isn't depressed because mom isn't around. they all come home on Saturday.
I haven't been doing a lot of reading lately. I haven't really felt like reading. well actually, I've wanted to read, I just haven't wanted to sit down and read.... I don't know. It's weird. :P I think I might get back at it today. I went to the library this week and there are books on my bed waiting to be opened.
