Oooh my gosh it was amazing. I had SUCH a good time. The sets were beautiful, the choreography was awesome, the acting was MORE then fabulous. I was really impressed with the girl who played Peter Pan. I've seen her in other plays and I haven't been so impressed, but she was just AMAZING! she was PERFECT. The flying was fabulous. I didn't see the cords till the second time I saw the show. ( I got to go twice. Hehehehe...) Captain hook was just brilliant. the whole casting was perfect. I was really really impressed. It was just a beautifully put together show. Everything was perfect. I couldn't stop grinning at the "do you believe in fairies?" scene. It almost made me cry. well, kind of. It was just so cool. I really wish I could have been apart of it. even if I was just on crew. *sigh* I got to see most of my friends so that was awesome. I miss everyone so much. I really want to do Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. They are doing that one in the spring and a TON of people are doing it. Hopefully I'll be able to do it. ugh. I miss theater so much. :P
Alright! What to talk about next.... hmm.. Well, life has been pretty crazy. I've been really quiet lately. I'm not really sure why. I've just been very deep in thought. I'm not really all there at times. I don't know whats going on. I just hope it ends soon. I don't feel depressed or anything. It's just weird. I've been spending a lot of time in my room just thinking. or reading. :) but yeah. blaaah. I'm really tired. I've been sooooo tired lately it's soo weird! Maybe I'm growing.. something like that. ha.

Fuuun stuff.
Let's see... I discovered something this week. I'm really interested in photography. I love going around and taking pictures of random things. I've always thought it was a really neat hobby to have. so every few days I will walk around the house or the yard taking pictures of things that I think are beautiful. And I'm haveing a really good time! I've been experimenting with the different settings on our camera and trying to fix things on Iphoto. I really enjoy it a lot! Maybe thats something I will get in to when I'm older. I just think it's cool. so here are a few of the pictures I took yesterday. It was terribly rainy out, but I actually thought it looked pretty neat. :)
:D Yup. I'm having fun.
I GET TO SEE PETER PAN ON FRIDAY!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAY!!!! I am SOOO so so so so excited. they opened last week on friday and since then I've heard nothing but awesome things about it. I've seen a lot of pictures from it too. I found this picture on this blog.
:D EEEEE!!! I can't wait.

Woah.
So I was looking up some songs by one of my favorite artists Bebo Norman and I found a song that I didn't recognize called Brittany. ( it's the song your listening to right now if you have your sound turned up. :P ) so I did some research on it and I found this article. I think it's pretty much amazing:
“Britney” is a song about what our culture says and does to young women these days. It’s a collective apology for the struggle girls face growing up too fast in today’s overly adult-oriented world. The song confesses, “I’m sorry for the lies we told… We took you into our arms then left you cold/I’m sorry for this cruel, cruel world… /We sell the beauty but destroy the girl.” It’s about the lies we tell them about fame and money and what’s beautiful and what will give them life. It’s an apology for those lies. But more than that, it’s an invitation to the truth about a God who is bigger than the pain this world so often leaves them in.
I was up late, couldn’t sleep, watching some news channel, when yet another story about Britney Spears came on. My first instinct was to scoff and write it off, but then there was this freeze-frame shot of a look on her face of utter and absolute despair and confusion and brokenness—a look that I recognized. And I remember thinking “This girl is a child of God.” Suddenly, I saw her story not as something to mock, but as a real-life tragedy that is desperate for redemption and hope—a story not so different from any of our stories. Take away all the lights and cameras, and it’s really just a narrative of a girl so clearly in need of love, so clearly in need of the redeeming love of our God. And suddenly, all I wanted to do was just apologize, over and over. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry...on behalf of this fallen world, on behalf of our consumerism that so consistently devours what it wants and leaves the remnants in the wake of the search for the next fix, on behalf of believers, like myself, who mock and hurl stones rather than scribbling a message in the sand. I think that night I saw her through the eyes of Jesus for the first time. I imagined what Jesus would say to me in my darkest hour and realized that those are the words we should speak to this world, to this culture, and even to Britney Spears in their darkest hour. “I’m sorry. Hope is here.” –Bebo Norman
Isn't that cool?! I love Bebo. He's awesome. :) here's the song

oooh so tired.
It's been such a long day. I had a piano lesson. It wasn't bad. it was just really really long. My hands were really cold so it a was pretty hard to play. but I got through it. I'm glad I have a new week to start fresh. *sigh* I'm getting along a little better with my teacher now. I don't dread lessons like I did a week ago... lol funny how fast things happen huh? :)
Anyway. It was Dana's birthday yesterday. It was a very fun day. I cleaned for most of it, but it was still a lot of fun. in the afternoon my cousins and aunts and uncles came over. And guess what we did? we played Improv games!! It was soo fun. We've never done that with the family before, so it was really cool. I love improv. it's just so fun. :) so yeah. that was awesome.
uuuuuugh so much is going on. inside and outside me. I would like it all to calm down for a bit. *SIGH* it was a very good day today. I did a lot of school which always makes me very happy. It's really cold outside, but I kind of like it like that. I think I prefer cold to hot. hehehe..
I guess I need to go to bed. I need to journal a bit. as I said, a lot is going on inside me. I love journaling. It's good for that kind of stuff. : ) I just dread the day when someone actually reads them other then me.... lol
Note to Kathryn: Sorry I haven't commented back! My computer is acting up and it wont let me comment. I hope it comes back soon. I'll comment as soon as it will let me! Sorry about that!
