Update on December Events.

I realize that it's been FOREVER since I've actually been on my blog and updated anything.... so I'm gonna put down everything i can remember about what happened to me this entire month. Please understand that my memory sucks, so please remember that...

Friday 12
The first thing that i remember that happened to me was that i had a formal 9th grade dance for my school, meaning everyone was dressed up. I was planning on going to it anyway, so no one had to plead and beg me to go. My shirt was all sparkley and completely uncomfortable, but i wore it because it matched my skirt, which was a very very very dark blue, almost black. I even got my hair done at Evan's Beauty Salon, i thank them, they did an awesome job on my hair, make-up, and nails. My hair was in ringlets that were simply adorable, and my nails were blue!! I still have the nail polish on. ^^ I thought i was so cute!!
I was originally planning on going with Bri, but she wanted to go real early so i waited and went with Allison a half hour after the dance started. I had plenty of time to enjoy myself, so i was content. The second i got there i was in a half shocked, half amused state of mind. It was funny seeing all my school friends and not-so-friends wearing skirts with flower designs complete with a simply purple shirts, or wearing a shirt and jeans with a tie. I felt like the only one that had dressed up... then i looked at Natalie and Alex with their complete prom dress-like dresses and felt better.
I felt like I'd only been there for a few minutes when it happened. The upbeat, cheerful song changed to a slow song. Which means dancing with the opposite gender, which completely freaks me out to no end. I usually look down and pretend I'm doing something the entire song. But i just couldn't say no when he asked me to dance. My very first dance and already he had asked me. The only problem with dancing with someone else it that i have this feeling that i should bring up a topic to talk about, but I'm not one for thinking ahead. And where are my eyes supposed to go? I don't want to have to look at him, it completely embarrasses me, so instead i look at the ground or at an invisible speck of dust on the wall. I did talk, but about stupid stuff like his tie and watch complete with military time. I felt like such an idiot. Then when the song ends, i feel even worse when you say thanks and simply walk away. I always feel this need that i shouldn't leave, but at the same time i feel that i should.
After that though i had a great time, even when Natalie (a different one then the one i mentioned before) asked him to dance with me again.. that wasn't as awkward. I had an amazing time at that dance and can't wait for the "End of the Year" dance.

Saturday 13
My ward had a Christmas party that we were going to attend, but didn't go to because my family was having their annual 'Zabriskie Christmas Party'. It wasn't as fun without my cousins, Katie and Cami, there. Everyone was little and so i mostly kept to myself and talked with my close family. After that, my mom and dad decided that since we were already close we should simply go to Temple Square and enjoy the lights. Not only was it snowing but it was freezing butt cold, not a pretty picture. I admit i kind of enjoyed myself, but not that much. The lights were pretty, but it didn't give me that extra Christmas Spirit that i should get when going.
After we were done sight seeing my family visited my cousins family and got some real yummy hot chocolate. Thanks Uncle Gary!! My cousins had also already invited some friends over, so they came over and i ended up watching Lord of the Rings with them... it was fun.

Wednesday 16
Man! Was this a busy day!! I had to go to TWO choir concerts in the same day one right after the other. It was terrible, but worked out I'm glad to say. My first concert was for my school's AWE choir. F.Y.I. AWE stands for Advanced Womans Ensemble. It was really weird and wasn't very good... but i thought it was adorably cute when i got to watch it at school. My second concert was for that other choir i talked about in a different post... the semi-religious one. I had to change in the car from my AWE dress (it's a maroon-ish looking color and goes to my ankles and made of a shiny material) into a simple black skirt and white shirt. I barely made it in time to sing, it was a complete rush. But i had fun all the same.

Thursday 25 - Christmas Day
Christmas Day!! Woo-hoo!! Finally it arrives... i had so much fun. My little brother, Brandon, woke me up at 7:00 in the morning... which is later then normal. My entire family was up real soon after that. Then we opened presents, which i loved completely. I am going to write a list of what i got for convenience.

- Photoshop!! I was completely happy.
- An "I Love Emmett Cullen" t-shirt! I've always loved Emmett and can't wait to wear it.
- A orange watch complete with M&M man... just like yours Katie and Cami
- Dance Dance Revolution... yes!! Finally.
- Black boots.
- Candy.
- A new i-Pod!! It's pink.
- and i-Dog amped for my i-pod! His name is Timothy.
- clothes!! can never have enough clothes.
- Gift card to Barnes and Noble and Borders!! I love reading, BTW.
- A spider man spoon/straw
- a sewing kit. always need a sewing kit, it's a law of life.
- a Twilight Poster
- The read alongs to Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. No Breaking Dawn, it was completely sold out.
- Balloon Animals Kit. I fail at making anything but a dog.
- and other random items received normally on Christmas Day...

I even got to go over to my friend, Jaycee's house and had breakfast over there. It was yummy and i loved it. They got Wii-Fit and tickets to Wicked. Me is jealous. Anyway... that's all that happened. I had an amazing Christmas.


Now i am officially caught up for my December events and hope you enjoyed reading about my life. I don't know when I'll write again, but i hope it' soon.
Thanks for reading....bye!!

SHAKE IT!

I had the most interesting thing happen to me today... first you have to know that i go to this choir where we sing semi-religious songs. Yes, i admit, i am part of a choir like that. Anyway... we were singing a song that was really pretty and beautiful, when all of a sudden my friends phone came on over us and started to play the chorus of "Shake It by Metro Station" (song is below). It was hilarious!! Any way, i had to tell those that actually read my blog. It was a really funny experience of my life.
