Rockstar Party

Today Kate, Maya, Jake and I went to a rockstar costume party with my youth group. I dressed up like Cyndi Lauper (Girls Just Wanna Have Fun) and Maya was Joan Jett (I Love Rock and Roll). Kate couldn't think of a costume so she borrowed my ghost costume and was the 'ghost of Elvis.' Jake just threw something together at the last minute and had a cardboard star with a rock on it (rock-star) and a purple clown wig with a beanie. It was so funny! There were a bunch of games. I did most of them. Competitions included 'best head-bang,' 'best air guitar,' 'best drum solo,' 'best moshpit dance,' and 'best rocker scream.' I did the head-banging, air guitar-ing, and the scream. I won the scream! Apparently it was really scary sounding. I won a voice disguiser. :) Maya won the head-banging. Kate won best air-guitar and got 'most creative' at the end. It was a great time. I decided I'm just going to be Cyndi Lauper for Halloween. It's much more fun than a ghost. I used temporary red hair color spray. It was so gross! It felt like my hair was straw. I had a very pink shower earlier...the soap looked appetizing, it was so pink. Anyway...dang! I forgot to eat dinner. :( I really should sleep. G'night!

Showing Off

I think I just want to show off my drawing... it makes me so happy. :)

Snow

It's snowing! In October. Well it's not much of a surprise I guess. I just hope it doesn't snow on Halloween. Another thing I'm doing next week is going to the school play on Friday! I've never gone to a school play so that'll be fun! Kate wants to get me into art more and she gave me a sketch book. She's giving me assignments to draw. It's fun!

Next week!

There is a lot of pretty awesome stuff coming up! On Wednesday there's a halloween costume party at my youth group! It's a rockstar theme. :) Then the last home JV game is on Thursday. On Friday or Saturday I want to try to go to the school play. It's a musical comedy called the Drowsy Chaperone. Sunday is Halloween! Monday is the best one. Usually Mondays are pretty bad but this is amazing. First, Kacie's turning 15! Second, my mom's starting school! Third, I'M GOING TO A KATE NASH CONCERT IN PORTLAND!!!!!!!! I'm soooo freakin' excited! I love Kate Nash! If you (probably) haven't heard of her, you should look her up. We're going to leave right after school and get there early. It's at the Wonder Ballroom. :) I can't wait!!!!!

Driving, fences, and ghosts.

I think I ought to post something. It's been a while. Today I did some driving. This morning I did really well! But this afternoon...not so much... I made several people mad. I swerved out of the way of someone when I was turning, I got honked at, I killed the car twice in the Wendy's drivethru, I turned too late at least twice, and I almost ran a stop sign. Ugh... when I get a car, it will definitely be an automatic. Stick shifts frustrate me. I'll just keep the stick shift driving knowledge in my pocket for a time when I need it. Otherwise, I'll be perfectly fine with a good 'ole automatic. Unfortunately I don't really get to drive automatics very often because my mom has a stick shift. Oh well.

On a happier note, we're building a fence in the front yard! I'm so excited! Right now we just need to put the pickets in and the panels for the tall part. And we need two gates. We planted a bunch of cute plants around it and it looks so great! We're going to put a willow tree in the middle and have a path from the side. It's going to be amazing. Plus the dog won't escape. It should be done before too long. :) By Halloween for sure.

By the way, I'm going to be a ghost. Some people think that's just a lame default costume when you don't have anything else, but I've been planning this for a while. I'm going to have it attached to my head and arms and it will be legit. Hehe...
