Rock 'n' Roll High School

As everyone knows, I am starting high school on September sixth. 

AND I AM SO EXCITED!

Earlier this summer the thought of going to a huge school, filled with people I didn't know who were older than me terrified me. Something happened, and it was good. I am now only a little bit extremely terrified. It was like an overnight thing, I'm still not really sure, but I think it was the work of God. . .or Gremlins, could be Gremlins.

Anyhow, I have open house in three days, and have gone school-clothes shopping four times this summer, so I think I'm okay as far as clothes go. I have my locker picked out, have met with some school groups and have all my affairs in order! 

I really don't have any plans for the rest of the summer. I  am hoping to have my best friend (who lives in Big Lake) over for a sleepover before school starts. So yeah, I'm quite boring. I will blog again after open house, so yay.

~More to come, stay tuned!~ 

How Lucky You Are (Mayzie reprise)

"Now I'm bored and

I'm cranky and tired

Sitting day after day.

Who knew so much work was required?!

I'd much rather play!

I need a vacation!

I'm due for some rest-"

- Mayzie Labird

I feel that the opening of this post explains itself pretty clearly. I am bored, cranky and tired. I literally sit all day long (when I'm not preforming), and I want to go somewhere! To do something different! I am telling you, I am loosing it! I was so bored today I actually cleaned. I cleaned on my own free will. Maybe I should see a doctor. This is a big problem people.

My gramma Connie and Aunt Lisa are on  vacation right now, and they send me pictures of the fancy food, gorgeous hotel rooms, and beautiful beaches they are visiting and seeing at this very moment. I get a new Facebook notification or text from them every five minutes! They just love rubbing it in! I really wish I could go on that trip with them, but unfortunately I have to stick with my commitments and not let my cast family down. Stupid morals.

Anyways. I cleaned out my phone, and I have just realized that I am in love with Bon Jovi. "SHOT THROUGH THE HEART! AND YOU'RE TO BLAME! YOU GIVE LOVVE A BAD NAME!-" oh sorry. I didn't realize I was singing so loudly.

Oh man. You gotta help me.

More to come~(hopefully)! Stay tuned! 

Summer Nights

Yes, it is true that I haven't been blogging recently, but any toddler with this web address could've figured that out.* I have not been blogging because nothing has been happening, but because everything is happening!

From hosting parties left and right, to attending Mock Trial camp (and winning my case, thank you very much**), to tubing with friends, to binge watching Psych,  to cross fit (which I don't really do - please refer to the binge watching section), to catching up on eighties movies with my dad, to rapping every verse in Guns and Ships, to squeezing the life out of Jones, to play practice, to babysitting, you could say I have been busy!

Today we spent the day helping out Paukerts with their storm damage done to their house and yard. Thankfully, nothing was damaged at our house and no one was hurt. We are all doing well, and if you need a babysitter - you know who to call!

Our 4th of July party was AWESOME SAUCE! I had an amazing time with y'all! Seussical is going to be amazing, and make sure that you come!

Enjoy yourselves! I hope your summer is a great as mine has been!

~ More to come! Stay tuned!

Alexander Hamilton

Now, many of you who see me on a regular basis will know that I have found a new obsession. That obsession goes by the name of Hamilton. "An American Musical". 

I have never seen the musical, but I listen to the soundtrack literally ever chance I can. Whenever I have earbuds in, you could bet that I was listening to the beautiful, rhyming, rhythmic masterpieces written by Lin-Manuel Miranda. 

If that helps to impress you: The musical has won ELEVEN Tonys this year alone, including Best Musical. Nominated for a record breaking sixteen. Saying that the music of this musical is my favorite would be an understatement. I have no words on how to describe, but I'll try. Okay, now think of rap music -- but good! Imagine rap music that is actually musical. Rap music that is good. Hip-Hop that doesn't make you want to shoot yourself in the head. It's- I have no words. 

As you know, I am highly overreacting, but this is how it is for me. My dad is the only family member I have yet to convert to Hamiltonism. I think that I am close, however, due to the fact that he seems impressed by my newest interest in politics, and the knowledge I know posses about history and how our country was built. 

I just sit here all day and listen to it! Heck, I'm listening to it now! Not joking, I swear I am. I'm listening to Non-Stop. One of my favorites; coming in second only to Wait For It. The only downside to the soundtrack is the cussing. There is the occasional bad-word, but nothing too major. However, the language is still there, so be warned. 

IT IS JUST SO INTERESTING. OH WOW, I'M TYPING IN ALL CAPITALS. OKAY, SO YEAH. THE WHOLE SHOW JUST FLOWS. IF YOU LISTEN TO THE FIRST SONG AND JUST LISTEN TO THEM IN ORDER YOU BASICALLY HAVE THE WHOLE SHOW. IT'S SO AMAZING. IT'S SO GOOD, AND COOL AND CATCHY. AND YEAH. HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE PICTURES FROM THE SHOW.

It's Time

I apologize for the prolongation of posting this week. I know, it is much over-due, and I'm terrible at keeping ever up to date. I know. Sheesh, you people are vicious.*

This week has been one of the most eventful and terrifying weeks of my life. This week I have graduated from STFX. I am now, officially, a ninth graders! This is part of the terrifying part, seeing as now I can not return to the comfort and familiarity of the little school. I have to go to the big, bad high school. Let's just say that I am not mentally prepared for that. . I'm not even close! I know that I will do fine, most likely thrive there, but that doesn't stop me from fretting. Oh well!

Secondly, well, actually I have just been partying! I just got back from a pool-party-sleep-over at a friends house with all of my eighth grade chumps. I had a blast! It was a little cold, but oh well. 

On Saturday my best friends Jack and Holly took me to the zoo (the new one)! It was alot of fun and I ate a super-jumbo cotton candy and had a massive sugar rush before the pool party. Oh well!

Tomorrow my auntie Lisa, Gramma Rosendahl and I are taking Lisa's cats (yes,all four) to the vet! It may not sound fun to the average man, but hey, I am not the average man. After the trip to the vet we are driving up to the Mora area and planting flowers on the grave sites of our loved ones there. That would be my grandpas and great grandparents, and great uncles. And then I have Seussical rehearsal! I may smell of dirt, hydrangeas, and cats but, oh well! 

~More to come, stay tuned!~
