Mascots and Mums

Hello People!!! I am so happy to be done with that story! We have a bit to talk about, ja? Let's see... so the solar eclipse happened and the world didn't end, that's good. (I heard rumors that it might but I didn't believe them to be honest.) Highschool begins next Monday. Oh my gosh, I am so excited, also a little nervous but you know, whatevs.  What I am totally enthused about is the other day I emailed the lady in charge of the cheer group a list of reasons why I think I qualify to be the school's female mascot. I finally got a reply from her last night that said to meet her in the dance studio after school on Wednesday to talk about it.
Do you know what this means???
I might get to fulfill my lifelong dream of dancing in front of people, and hugging strangers while wearing a giant head.
That is so exciting!!!
 Okay, so this is the female mascot...the male looks super cool. I could still rock the look though.
So another thing that's been on my mind is Homecoming. I have no idea what to expect. My one friend says everyone is going to get drunk, my other friend says I just have to know a bunch of the typical line dances, the internet says there will be people dancing inappropriately. So yeah....that's not gonna make me nervous at all...

These accessories can be anywhere from a simple adornment like a corsage to an outrageous billboard that the girl wears. The tradition is that the guy asks her to the dance and gives her this Mum to wear to the dance. He comes wearing a matching (much smaller) one on his arm called a garter. Mom wants  to make Mums for me and #2 just in case the boys don't know about the tradition. Fereal some of these are insane.

They vary drastically and are an echo of your character. For me, mine would probably include BirdCrabs or dancing or writing etc etc. Some have lights. That's cool, kind of overkill but who am I to speak?

There are a few examples of young men that dared to match their girl. They are so cute lol. I gotta be honest, I wonder if anyone will ask me to the dance. If not, I might bring a friend who will dance with me. (IDK who that is.) Anyway, I have filled your brains with some Texas culture. I must now depart. Have a good day, I hope you enjoyed. Your comments are always gladly received and I highly advise sharing this blog with your friends. ;)

My New Pet Eublepharis Macularious

Greetings fellow residents of Earth. I recently had a brilliant idea. I want your opinions on this idea. Okay? Great. Here goes. My idea was that I should have a vlog that I post every so often, but it would not be like my blog. Instead, it would be a Bible lesson that I would work hard to put together just for you guys. Please tell me your thoughts on this in the comments. That would be pretty great. Alrighty. Now. Let's talk. My friends invited me to Six Flags with them yesterday.We had an amazing time going on all sorts of roller coasting rides. Turns out that two of our small group is terrified of heights. Me not included it would seem. I went on every ride approached by our party without fear. (Actually I was a little bit nervous for the Batman because my friend made it sound really crazy.) Before going to Six Flags, my mom and I had gone for a swimming/long walk workout at 6:45 AM and then had taken the kids to speech therapy (For my brother) and had also gone to the Chirop

First Post/ Finding Inspiration

As This is my first ever blog post, I thought this random writing rather suits the situation.  Enjoy. 😎   Here I sit, trying to find some inspiration for my pen to express on this page.  I close my eyes and let my thoughts sink into the depths of my soul in search of emotion.  All is pitch black, yet I can see; no, feel the dread beasts nearby.  Anger breathes down my neck while Ignorant Joy juggles knives in an effort to comfort Self Conscious who is weeping in the corner.  The more dangerous emotions I prefer to keep locked in steel cages.  To my left, Fear growls and tries to convince me to let him out.   Behind me, red hot Anger still heaves his fiery breath, singeing the hairs on my neck.  To my right, are Love and Trust.  By far the most dangerous of the group, yet also the most inspiring.  Together they conspire over an intense game of cards how they will soon rule the world.  I boldly approach them and twist the key in the lock.  They look at me with their crookedly beautif

Caroling and Christmas Parties

Hello Humans. That is how I have been greeting people since last week. You would not believe how many offended looks I have gotten. It is pretty hilarious. So you guys remember how excited I was that I was going  to put up Christmas lights with my friend on Saturday? Well it rained the night before, so we didn't do that. But! Before I get ahead of myself, I did get to go to a play at my school with LTG and his mom and my sister. It was pretty great, the play was fantastic. It was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and my friend-quaintance Daniel Oriano was the main character. I didn't know that he could sing and was left quite impressed.  After that we went home. It was pouring rain. Like so much rain. Saturday came. I went from sleeping to suddenly being awake. Which was fine. I believe that was the night that I had a terrifying dream. I shall relate the first half to you, the second half is just confusing.  It began with me in english class, which is 8th period. T
