Windows of Winter

So world that I rein over, how have you been? Not very busy I see, but nor have I. There is much to be said and some I don't wish to write. But as of late I have been having a horrid time trying to get words to flow out from me. My neglected nano stands as proof of that. But, for the sake of this world, I'll try.
Let's start of with the worst of it. My parents were in a car crash and the blame was really owed to the snow. That time was the scariest in my life. I had so much doubt and I had more fears then I ever had before. But, thankfully, both of my parents are fine now. Well not fine just yet, but on their way. They are both home and working again. And that is all that matters. Because of that accident, my family's trip to New York was canceled.
But even with our canceled trip, winter break started off early with the second snow day of the year. On which Catey and I got stuck in the snow twice along with Kory and Dani on the second time. It was quite fun after a while. Some random guys pushed us out the first time. Cheers to them, they did a good deed. And the second time we had a shovel ready. And so winter break began. A short while later my friends and I exchanged our secret santa gifts. I received a bracelet and chocolates. After many canceled plans, I finally got to see my out of town boyfriend to give him my Christmas gift (he ordered mine in the mail and it has not arrived yet...stupid mail). I gave him a lanyard for his new keys to his new car, a hat (which is apparently a tradition now), two mixed Cd's for his musical education, and some cologne (best smell on earth). I did well if I do say so myself!
My Christmas was...not the best. But it went as well as to be expected. Catey and I picked out some movies for ourselves and were surprised with our traditional jewelry from our parents. I got a beautiful garnet necklace. And I surprised everyone with gifts I had bought for them (Thank you Emmy). I think they all enjoyed them. Then we watched movies, a very merry Christmas for us.
And now here I am on the eve of New Years Eve. I have a party to go to today, but nothing planned for the actual New Year's. Odd...I hope that changes. I am on the very threshold of 2009 and all I can think about is all that I should have done by now. I had plans for this break - my nano, drarry, math project, my painting - and most are left hardly touched. I find I am more worried about the end of winter break then the end of 2008. I'm always a bit late in realizing the coming of a new year. So it's best to state my resolutions now...
-First off, finish my nano by February. This seems unattainable at this point, but so did nano!
-Second, blog and journal more often. Journal at least once a week. Blog maybe once every 2 weeks. Keep the writing going, I want a career out of this.
-Third, hang out with friends who will actually be here next year, but still stay tight with the seniors (especially the ones who read this!)
-Forth quit smoking and drinking...oh wait I haven't even started! Sweet! One down! Haha
-Fifth keep in shape
ensemble.
And there you are! Hopefully I will actually attain some of these goals! Wish me luck!

Reflexions On Nanowrimo

Good morning my world!
So now it comes down to the talk on national writers month. Amazing, my first time trying it, I made the 50,000 word quota! I find this a huge acomplishment! There were so many times when I thought my goal was unattainable, but here I am now a winner! There is no greater feeling (that may be a bit of an exaggeration)!
Unfortunetly I did not beat my friend Dani, but she was extemely deicated and desevered to win. I tie with my friend Alyssa, because I met the 50,000 words first and she had them all typed first. We both agreed on second place. A good compromise, I think.
Yet look at me noe. Here I am in December and my story is nowhere near finished. And I am having the hardest time getting back to it. There seems to be not enough hours in the day. But that is not possible because of the amazing quota I reached last month. I have to get back into my writing mode! My dear writing pal Alyssa gave me the advice to read through my stroy completely, edit, and then begin writing again. I have decided to take it. At the moment I am at a crucial point in the story and must make it perfect!Wish me luck! My characters thank you!

Bio Down Time!

Hello world! Have you missed me?
I would like to take this time to give a shout out to my friend Emmy! You might remember her from my past posts during extra time in class! Hey Bud, try reading this sometime! Just kidding, you do not have to!
Alert : frosted flakes and blondes do not mix! Do not try to solve that puzzel!
Anyway, sorry I have not written in so long, even though I just posted I would star blogging regularlly. You see, I am participating in national writers month. I need 50,000 words in a novel by the end of November. I am at this moment within reach of that goal being at 40,912. I am so excited! But I fear my novel will not be finished...in fact I know it won't be. I will just carry on with it after, I suppose.
Do you want to know more about my friend Emmy? She is the best Cubs fan in the world! And she is going to marry Jeff Dye! She is also going to have an affair with Tyson Ritter.
Sorry, that was pointless....it's true though!!!
Five minute mark! Time to go look at pictures!
I promise I will writethings that make sense...after November

Hey everybody in bloggers land!
So Jesus Christ Superstar was a success! I hardly ever messed up - except once in the "Touch, Touch Me Jesus" song my knee gave out when I was spinning and I almost fell over...I bet it looked quite strange. And the last day I felt sick and I actually did fall in the leper song. But we are supposed to look sick and weak and dying, so I think I fit the role!
But now that the play is over, I feel like my life is empty! Though it hasn't been a whole day yet! But I'll probably not be too busy anymore...But I am doing national writers month come November 1st. That should entertain me for a bit...I should really figure out which idea I'm going to write down. I have way to many and none of them are really finished. I'll try to work all that in this week.
Hello Tiffy! Thanks for the grammer advice!

Welcome Back!

Well hello one and all! I'm am back and very happy to be so! I know you all are too!
I am going to be writing like crazy now! My sister, two friends, and I have started a community journal and I am going to be writing a new book come November. It will be a writing storm! I won't be able to keep anything straight! Should be interesting...
So whats been happening? Or should I say what's the buzz? Hehe, Now my school is putting on Jesus Christ Superstar! They changed the musical to fall this year, what the heck is wrong with them? It's just ridiculous! And during volleyball, the only sport I am involved in! Involved, I got cut for JV. Sad, but I was pretty bad...better then some. I am manager now though. And am enjoying it other then I am missing a lot of play practice. Oh yeah, this started about the play!
Well let's get back to that then! I am a Zealot! I have graduated from the realm of extras! I get to dance in the "Touch me. touch me Jesus" song! I really should find out what that is called...but that would not be as fun. I also get to be in all the crowd scenes, be a leaper, and have a short solo. The play so far is...okay. Um we don't sing very well in the crowds. But I think once we learn the words that should improve! My new boyfriend of a week and two days is Caiaphas! He is amazing! Haha, he looks really funny and angry when he sings. Which is good, expressing his emotions. Better then me just laughing all the time!
Shout out to all my notebook buddies out there!
So now I am a sophomore! This year is so much harder then the last! The homework load is suffocating, the teachers are crazy, and I'm so busy! I actually have a life now! Haha just kidding, I've always had one. Just now, it seems so frantic. But I'm getting through it.
Wow that was kind of corny. Perhaps tis a sign it's time to stop! Till next time!

Behind the Scenes

As I've said before, I am in my schools production of the Music Man!. Well, we opened up back on Wednesday night..........and we didn't do so well. Yeah some people messed up on lines, little kids came out late, mikes were left on, orchestra forgot to play, we weren't loud. etc. Yeah, your basic high school play screw ups. Sort of bummed me out. Like whenever I watched plays they were so good and fun to watch, but now I miss it all because I'm stuck behind the stage the whole night. It's like the magic's gone! But last ni-
Hi again Emmy!
But last night we went on again and did much better then the first night! Yay us! Still I never remember how annoying it is to get off stage when it's pitch black and you can not for the life of you see where you are going. There's this one scene where we're on bleachers and the lights go out and we have to get off the bleachers. Sounds simple enough, but when you don't know where the end of the bleachers are well it's pretty scary. It's like you're falling into a dark pit! But I'm very proud of myself, I haven't fallen or lost my shoe yet! Those are my worst fears on stage.
Did I ever tell you about my custom??? OOOOhhh! I just love it! Well the shirt makes me look like a blimp and I have to pin the skirt because it's too big.....well actually I don't like my outfit really. But I love my BOW!!!! Omg I was meant to wear that bow! It's bigger then my head and it's Red!!! I just love it! I look simply divine in it!!!
I cannot wait till the cast parties! They're always fun. There's one tonight! But my friend can't come :( sad. But I'll just hang out with my other buds. Still wish she would be there.
Special shout out to my one and only fan, hope you get better and you should come to school!!

Random Update!

Hola de la clase de espanol! me llama Esperanza!
Yep I'm back to blogging during school hours. Sad for teachers, good fror me! Oh and for all of you who read my blog! (aka mi hermana)!
So let's see....what's been going on lately....
Hello Emmy!!!
Anymways, oh yeah! Last week I was a sixth grade retreat leader! That might have been a bad idea. Sixth grade guys are so imature! Every guy in my group would not listen to me and kept calling me shorty!!! And they were only a bit taller then me, some were shorter!
What is up wiht these hightest people? So what if you're short or tall? What difference does it make? Does it effect my personality at all? No! ....or does it? I sorta think I fit into the cute style I have becuse I'm short... whatever. I shall ever be the five foot wonder.
Other then that npt much is really going on in my life. The Music Man practices are getting so slow. Our first show is like next week or something!!! But I'm hardly ever on stage! I'm not even in the Shapooie (sp?)!!! What is the point of the music man without the Shapoopie? I mean really, it makes the show! So that has me pretty cheesed off (ha! so funny) , but whatcha going so?
Nothing else much is going down in my life, this had been pretty pointless if you haven't noticed already.
