So Much For Rest
I just got back from helping with the play clean up, which involved taking down the stage, organizing bins, cleaning, more organizing, getting rid of stuff, and those sorts of tasks. It was actually quite nice, I enjoy cleaning. But now I need to go get shorts and capris for track, figure out my idea for a project, fill out a cookie dough order form for our school fundraiser, and we were hoping to get to the creative escape pottery painting place this weekend to make something for my grandparents but we don't really have time for it now. This weekend's to-do list has been packed.

Fair Days Will Shine
Today's the last day of the long piratical journey that has been "The Pirates of Penzance" and I'm not going to lie, it's nice to wrap things up. I've really loved doing the play this year, it's been a load of fun, but it's also been a load of work and that's something I'm glad to be done with. I'm hoping the performances go well tonight as they did for the most part yesterday, which I'm sure they will. On another note I'm starting track on Monday which I'm greatly looking forward to. It'll be nice to do some running and get into better shape, plus it seems like a lot of people are doing it this year so I'll be able to spend time with friends. I need to go shopping this weekend for some running shorts and capris tomorrow, maybe some new shoes also because my current pair are getting a bit ragged. Anyway, I'm off to get ready for the performance. I'm not sure about call time, I hope it's at 3:00 because that's when I'll be there by. I guess I'll find out soon.

Super Trouper
Well, it's March, and I still can't wait for this cold weather to go away. :)
So, we've got the play performance coming on Friday the 13th and Saturday the 14th, and the understudy show on Wednesday. I'm really looking forward to it. I think the costumes are going to end up pretty fun and crazy, mainly the pirate garb. Also, we've been having ISTEP testing this week at school, and it has been fairly... boring. Anyway, all I do is eat and sleep and sing... and go to school. For the most part that is. And now I'm off to watch some good old American Idol to mix it up a bit!

Abstract Ideas
I'm still sickish. But I guess I have to go to school tomorrow. I can't breathe through my nose though. :( On a more positive note, I did a large abstract painting today. The dimensions are 24 inches by 30 inches to be specific. I'm fairly happy with it. It's for the basement, which I hope will eventually be filled up with art. Anyway, I need to practice my flute now having put it off all weekend.

The New Friendship of Bonsai and Fern
Well, for those of you who may have noticed I wasn't at school today I have an awful sore throat and cough and congested nose. I also jabbed my upper gums/lip with a cereal straw yesterday, that sounds so strange I know, and now that wound is waaaaaay sore. I also seem to have an extremely bruised tailbone that has been hurting for the past two weeks. (the result of falling down the stairs for the umpteenth time) Eventually I'm just going to trip and break into a million pieces. Anyway, now that my poor health has been covered, I am otherwise quite well! Or at least my week was. We've had play practice each day afterschool and it hasn't been too boring. I've quite enjoyed the experience this year and I'm really looking forward to the final performance. Also last weekend I did some painting which was nice. I hope to accomplish some more this weekend also. Happy Friday! ^_^ One more thing, I cannot wait for the frigid weather of winter to be replaced with springtime! Spring is my absolute favorite season.
Bonsai and Tom the Fern have become friends! :) The fern was emma's and my fern baby from science.
I don't think this painting(from last weekend) is quite done yet. It needs more depth... maybe some sheep.
Here's another painting from the weekend. It's okay I suppose.
This is the third painting I did. It's my favorite.

Huff Puff
Yay, for the National Junior Honor Society! ...I think. I suppose it'll be yay once I'm done with this packet we have to fill out and turn in for it and once I find out if I actually get to be a part of it. Also, I am going to run for NJHS office as vice-president! Whoo. We'll see how that goes. Having thought about it and considered and reconsidered I think it's a job I'd really enjoy doing. Anyway, it's late and I really should go to bed. Just felt like a quick update. G'night.

Nothing Much Here
Wellll, I figure it's high time I cranked out a post... however devoid of importance or interest it may be. ;D So, um, hmmm, let me seeeee... Not much has happened that could be posted about. The musical is going well I suppose, I've enjoyed being a pirate so far. Yesterday I made an ipod case out of duct tape, and I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. I'll post pictures later perhaps, along with some pictures of what I hope to create this weekend, a dress form made of duct tape and a somehow fashiony t-shirt. We'll see how that goes. Of course, I also have some homework and studying for tests, plus my outside reading book project. And now I'm off to gorge on tomato soup as I am super duper hungry.
