My Life Sucks in a Non-Interesting, Non-Tragic Way

Well, at least it's finally summer for me. Unfortunately, summer brings boredom and nothing to do-ness. The most exciting thing I'll be doing all summer is going to Wisconsin, the cheese and fudge capital of the country. That seems like a good way to lose weight, doesn't it? I'm actually pretty happy about it, but it's no Carribean. Or England. Or Morocco.
Although, I am currently planning a party which is taking place on Saturday. MOST of the planning is going well, but not all. A very close friend WHOM I LOVE DEARLY AND I'M REALLY REALLY REALLY SORRY I UPSET YOU is not happy with me right now. No names. Sorry, friend! I wanted to spend some quality time with Maddy!!!! Well, all I have left to do is make a banner and get some streamers. Whoopee!
At least from Wednesday to Saturday I'm taking care of some really adorable puppies from next door! They're gonna sleep in my room! Yay!
And now to talk about today's goings on. I've got one thing to say.
I HATE Hollister.
I've had this Hollister gift card for about two years, and I just didn't have the heart to throw it away. I mean, why throw 40 bucks of your aunt's money away just because you're really not that interested in that store that much anymore? So today, I called to see if the card was still worth anything, and convinced my mom to drive me to the local shopping...area...thingy....and go to that store. That horrible, horrible store.
First of all, mom and I think that only anorexic, deaf vampires work there. It's so badly lit in there, I could hardly see what I was purchasing. Which is a really bad idea because there are mannequins and fake plants and displays and all kinds of crap to bump into while you're there. I tripped a couple of times. Secondly, the music they've got going on in there it LOUD. Mom and I had to SCREAM to actually hear each other over the "major tunage". I thought music in stores was supposed to be quiet and in the background to soothe you while you browse, not totally elevate your heart rate because you're shouting at your shopping companion! Am I right or am I right? Also, it REEKS of cologne in there. Like, so much, you may never smell quite right again. The "dress" that I bought from there still smells like it. AND, the people who designed those clothes for Hollister don't seem to believe it the size XL. There was and extra small, but not an extra large. And I thought I was an outcast already. Lastly, there is an attractive shirtless man everywhere you look. Which really confuses me. If you're going to sell clothes, why do you have people with basically no clothes on be your models? I mean, WHAT. THE. CRAP. And now, my sweet ducklings, that is the end of my Hollister rant. Ranking that store in stars, I only give them half a star. And that's only because I found a piece of clothing in vertical stripes. Thanks for all your effort toward the fat girls, Hollister. At least the vertical stripe top (It's supposed to be a dress, but for obvious reasons, I can't wear it that way.) makes my boobs look bigger.


And now I breathe a sigh of relief that I'm done typing all of that. That. Took. A while.





(P.S. I got two lip glosses at Hollister. Peach Sangria and Cake Batter. THOSE I'm happy with.)

Hmmm....

Is it just me, or does the peace sign mean nothing anymore? At seemingly every photo opportunity, celebrities whip them out just to show off how "awesome" they are. It bugs the CRAP out of me. The peace sign should mean what it originally did, instead of just a symbol of coolness. It appears on everything from t-shirts to ugg boots and even baby blankets. It's sickening. You guys with me on this one?

Too Long

It's been waaaaaaaaaaay too long since I put up a post. Solo news:

I got the solo! The problem is that three other people did, too. She turned it into a quartet. I was so pissed off. Concert Wednesday.

There's only two weeks left of school....still too much. I'd really like to stop having homework.....

Welll not much else. Bye, nobody.

P.S.

Arriba! It's Cinco de Mayo! I don't even know why we have this holiday, but it reminds me of tacos, so I like it.

Nothing Yet....

Still no results from the solo tryouts. My choir teacher says that she'll tell us all tomorrow. I can hardly keep myself in my shorts from the anticipation! I think I may actually stand a chance this time! I got several nice comments with dollops of loveliness on top on my facebook status about it, so I must've done at least okay!
Not much else going on. Just a busy weekend ahead of me.

Magical Singing Opportunity!

Today in my vocal music class, we had auditions for a solo in our choir performance, (May 19th, I'll keep you posted) and I auditioned! It took me about 15 minutes of extra convincing to actually get myself to even do it. I counted, and I think I've sung in front of a group of people at least eight times. One of those times was for another audition. I think I did okay, and I'm pretty sure I did better than the other girl in my hour that tried out. Apparently, six people in the other hour tried out. My friend Mariah said she tried out, but I'm not really worried about her. I haven't heard her sing before, but I have heard her rap. Let's just say that she's no Eminem.
But anyway, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying to Paul that I get this solo! I want it soooo much! Every single solo or part I auditioned for, I never got it. I guess I only have the capability, not the nerves. When I get too nervous my voice is sort of ruined. Let me see if I can scrounge up a list of performance opportunities I took but didn't succeed in anyway.

Third Grade Solar System Play (tried out for Venus, got Earth.)

Fourth Grade Retro Oldies Play (Tried out for "Johnny Angel" solo, lost it to two popular girls.)

Sixth Grade Talent Show Audition (tried out, didn't make it, pissed because someone who was a terrible singer got in and I didn't)

Sixth Grade Choir Solo Audition (just plain didn't get the flipping thing)

Choir Performance Solo (we'll seeeeeeee!)
