~An amazingly deep quote by my friend
So One day I was watching a really good fanmade video for the book Specials by Scott Westerfeld. And then I watched it again....and again...and again, and then I didn't even watch it just listened to the section of the song over and over again. I loved it! So I found the name of the song, "24" By Jem. And now I am in love with it....so I started choreographing it. I started around 11:40, choreographed until 12:40, took a break for lunch, start choreographing more at 1:20 choreographed until 2:40....I got 30 seconds choreographed for 10 people.....this song may take a while to finish....but I want it to be good and so far it is awesome!!!!!
Snow in October...who would have thought! The last time it snowed in October was over 100 years ago!
My conversation with dance teacher on Tuesday....
Her: And this time there is no chance that we will be snowed out.
Me: I know, since it doesn't snow in October....no...what if there is some sort of freak snow storm.
Her: If there is I will put on my snow gear and get in my car and I will not miss it!
Me: *grins* Same here.
My conversation with my dance teacher Yesterday.....
Her: Hope have you ever heard of it snowing in October.
Me: *sheepishly* No...I think we caused it.
Her: Yeah, well I just want to let you know I am still going tomorrow no matter how much snow there is.
Many other women kicked higher, balanced longer, or turned faster. These are poor substitutes for passion.

My line for at dance class: It was good but nobody liked it
Some of my favorite random lines:
"I'm listening I'm just not paying attention." one of my most used lines
"He stole my apricots." quoted by my neighbor when she was pretending to be an old lady in one of our many games
"Get in front of me so I can shoot you." No it's not what you think, I often say that to my sister when we are playing multiplayer lego starwars on the wii, because she has money so I need to kill her character to get the money.
"Oh no! The Telmarines are invading Middle Earth! Get the Jedi!" just a funny quote my sister came up with
"Stop Talking and Dance!" said often during pointe class
"Read your paper!" often told to my dance teacher
"We better add more to her account." a line we say when someone is acting crazy in reference we have to add more to her account so she can get funds to be sent to an english lunatic asylem(don't ask me why it is England it is a very long story)
"You made me run into a tree!" this quote came about on the same day as the account quote we blindfolded my sister and made her run into a tree.
"Wow that makes me sound stupid!" my sister said this after reading the aformentioned quote...
"The paper lies to us!" "Oh it lies to me sometimes too." - My dance teacher will take a small sheet of paper and write out the names and numbers of songs from different cds and what exercises go well with them. So today we were doing an across the floor in pointe class to the song, "Part of your World" and we all loved it( of course lol) but a few girls wanted to suprise Miss Theresa when she pressed play by changing the song on her(we do this all the time, it is soooooo funny!) so they were looking at her little sheet to decide which one to change it to. They decided to do "Under the Sea" and on her paper it said it was number 6, so they turned it to number six, and our teacher pressed play....and it was "Part of your World" they stare at the cd player and double check, yes it still said six.....they look at the paper, the paper said "Under the Sea" was six....they look at Miss Theresa and are like, "The paper lies to us!" And she answers in return, "Oh it lies to me sometimes too." And I start cracking up, the way they were talking was like the paper was a living thing capable of change! But then she proceeded to explain to us that the way she had written it was confusing and "Under the Sea" was actually number 2
ME: I WANT TO GO TO NARNIA
Lydia: To Narnia?
Me: Yes to Narnia! Are we in Narnia?

My sissy and I have this name we call our brother(in a nice way like a nickname) I don't know how we came up with it cause it isn't like his name at all it is just some random made up word...anyway we even have a bunch of versions of it from other countries and stuff....so anyway I am bored so I thought I would put them down.

~You know you are Obsessed with Phantom of the Opera when ~
Going downstairs, you sing "Down once more to the dungeons of my black despair...!" - I do this when going to the basement...so fun!
You know all musical songs (especially E/C duets) by heart - I know them :) lol....well most of them
When in conversation, you can't help but echo "darkness" "silent" and "decided" after someone says it - haha I do this, mostly cause my sister hates how Erik repeats his words so I do it to annoy her
If you're seen smiling in the hallways, everyone knows it's because you're singing Phantom songs - haha one time I was smiling while listening to Phantom of the Opera on my ipod and Lyd was like, "Let me guess Phantom of the opera...."
While scaling down stairs, you make a low tone to each step and finally sing maniacally, "Why so silent, good monsieurs?" and all of your friends stop to let you poke them as though you had a sword. - ha I did this yesterday and my mom looked at me like I was crazy!
When you and your phantom obsessed friend write each other Notes in the same fashion as the phantom does. And when you sign them with either your initials or O.G. - I don't do this but I would love to!
When asked a question to an act you did not commit, you reel back and sing "Of course not!” - ha I have never done this but it sounded so funny so I am planning on doing it the next time it happens.....
Whenever you tell a friend to hold your seat in a movie theater, then when you come back to see someone sitting in it you suddenly yell in a booming voice (that echoes even) "Did I not instruct this seat was to be kept EMPTY?!?!" - I WISH this would happen to me!
You relate things in random conversations to POTO - yes yes, and everyone thinks I am crazy......
Whenever you scream random quotes, your friends look at you and say "Phantom of the Opera?" You nod, and continue screaming quotes. - haha this is sooooo true....not so much with quotes...more with random lines of singing...but quotes too....
Your family members know the songs by heart because of your nonstop singing - haha this has happened to my sister! she hates it because now I force her to sing the duets with me....
You sing Phantom songs at church with your friends after nearly everyone else has left. - oh so many times...more when we go in early for Sunday Evening Fellowship and we are setting up table and chairs...and I have my ipod...or even if I don't have it....I force my sister to sing with me...you have to feel sorry for her....
~Hunger Games Teams~
My friends and I decided to make teams (with cute little sayings) for the Hunger Games. Here they are!
(Please note: these are not couples teams. They are just teams.)
Team Peeta - my man can cook.
Team Gale - because bread is stupid.
Team Cato - (dead) bad guys are cool too!
Team Haymitch - Whaaat?!?
Team Thresh - Just because he's dead doesn't mean he didn't win.
Team Foxface - She's dead?! I don't believe you.
Team Capitol - It's for your own good...
Team Effie - May the odds be ever in your favor!
Team Effie - It's a big, big, big, day!!!
Team Cinna - We're gonna light you on fire!
Team Avox - ...
Team Finnick - Pretty boy
District 11 - I like food...
District 12 - Under my clothes, I'm only wearing coal dust.
District 1 - stupid names...
District 13 - Forever in our hearts.
District 13 - BOOM!!!
~THE BATTLE OF WITS~
Man in Black: All right. Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right... and who is dead.
Vizzini: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man in Black: You've made your decision then?
Vizzini: Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.
Man in Black: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
Vizzini: Wait til I get going! Now, where was I?
Man in Black: Australia.
Vizzini: Yes, Australia. And you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man in Black: You're just stalling now.
Vizzini: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man in Black: You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work.
Vizzini: IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE POISON IS!
Man in Black: Then make your choice.
Vizzini: I will, and I choose - What in the world can that be?
Vizzini: [Vizzini gestures up and away from the table. Roberts looks. Vizzini swaps the goblets]
Man in Black: What? Where? I don't see anything.
Vizzini: Well, I- I could have sworn I saw something. No matter.First, let's drink. Me from my glass, and you from yours.
Man in Black, Vizzini: [they drink ]
Man in Black: You guessed wrong.
Vizzini: You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha...
~You know you are a dancer when...~
You dance down the hallway instead of walk*(my sister thinks I am weird...)
You perform calmly before crowds yet suffer anxiety during school tests*
You are well coordinated in class but trip over your own feet walking.*(my mom thinks it is hilarious...)
A new leotard makes your whole day.*
The top shelf in your closet is stuffed with your old costumes and dance shoes. *(and old dance magazines and catalogs)
All your friends are eating dinner while you are in class.*
Every hard floor is a place for practicing.*
You don't dance for a day and even your brother notices.*
You own 25 pairs of shoes and 20 of them are 4 dance*
Everything you do has to do with dance. *

You have bobby pins on the floor around your whole house. *
The first impression people have on you is dance. *
You have the ability to balance your body on five toes, yet cannot bend over to pick the clothes up off the floor of your room.*
You walk with your toes first unconsciously. *
You refer to half time of a football game as "intermission." * (did this once and everyone looked at me weirdly....)
You're more comfortable in dance clothes than in your regular clothes. * (oh do I ever! plus my dance clothes are way cuter)
Center stage isn't a place, it's home.* (gotta love being in the spotlight)
You have to ask, "Do you mean class class or dance class?" * (haha one time I asked someone when her classes were and she started naming off her school classes and I just looked confused until finally she was like oh you mean dance class)

When you are walking you count your steps, but only go up to 8 and start all over again. *
Your kitchen floor has marks all over it from pointe shoes*
You can talk about ballet all day long to people that don't care.*
Your friends say they went shoe shopping and you ask them if they got a hard or medium shank.*
Glitter is imbedded in you skin for life. * (well sort of, it used to be but now my teacher showed us this great glitter that doesn't stay in forever!)
When you go to get your hair cut you tell them to cut it long enough to be able to put it in a bun. *
You turn conversation to dance without noticing*
*apply to me :)
♥ In Christ Alone Lyrics ♥
In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
Well this got pretty long so I guess I should stop for now... I'll probably come back and and add things later :) « less
I don't wanna go one more day

Dimitri: You don't know if it's a lie. What if it's true?
Anastasia: Do you really think I'm royalty?
Dimitri: You know I do!
Anastasia: Then stop bossing me around!
Anastasia: What? Hey - why are you circling me? What were you, a vulture in another life?
Dimitri: I'm sorry Enya.
Anastasia: It's Anya.
Dimitri: Anya.
Anastasia: [enunciating] An-ya.
Dimitri: It's just that - you look an awful lot like... never mind.
Rasputin: Say your prayers, Anastasia! No one can save you!
Dimitri: Wanna bet?
Dimitri: Look I think we got off on the wrong foot.
Anastasia: Well, I think we did, too. But, I appreciate your apology.
Dimitri: Who said anything about an apology? I was just saying that...
Anastasia: Please don't talk anymore, it's only going to upset me.
Dimitri: Fine, I'll be quiet if you be quiet.
Anastasia: Alright, I'll be quiet.
Dimitri: Fine.
Anastasia: Fine.
Dimitri: Fine.
Anastasia: Fine... So you think you're gonna miss it.
Dimitri: Miss what? Your talking?
Anastasia: No! Russia.
Dimitri: Nope.
Anastasia: But it was your home.
Dimitri: It was a place I once lived. End of story.
Anastasia: Then must plan on making Paris your true home.

My line for at dance class: It was good but nobody liked it
Some of my favorite random lines:
"I'm listening I'm just not paying attention." one of my most used lines
"He stole my apricots." quoted by my neighbor when she was pretending to be an old lady in one of our many games
"Get in front of me so I can shoot you." No it's not what you think, I often say that to my sister when we are playing multiplayer lego starwars on the wii, because she has money so I need to kill her character to get the money.
"Oh no! The Telmarines are invading Middle Earth! Get the Jedi!" just a funny quote my sister came up with
"Stop Talking and Dance!" said often during pointe class
"Read your paper!" often told to my dance teacher
"We better add more to her account." a line we say when someone is acting crazy in reference we have to add more to her account so she can get funds to be sent to an english lunatic asylem(don't ask me why it is England it is a very long story)
"You made me run into a tree!" this quote came about on the same day as the account quote we blindfolded my sister and made her run into a tree.
"Wow that makes me sound stupid!" my sister said this after reading the aformentioned quote...
"The paper lies to us!" "Oh it lies to me sometimes too." - My dance teacher will take a small sheet of paper and write out the names and numbers of songs from different cds and what exercises go well with them. So today we were doing an across the floor in pointe class to the song, "Part of your World" and we all loved it( of course lol) but a few girls wanted to suprise Miss Theresa when she pressed play by changing the song on her(we do this all the time, it is soooooo funny!) so they were looking at her little sheet to decide which one to change it to. They decided to do "Under the Sea" and on her paper it said it was number 6, so they turned it to number six, and our teacher pressed play....and it was "Part of your World" they stare at the cd player and double check, yes it still said six.....they look at the paper, the paper said "Under the Sea" was six....they look at Miss Theresa and are like, "The paper lies to us!" And she answers in return, "Oh it lies to me sometimes too." And I start cracking up, the way they were talking was like the paper was a living thing capable of change! But then she proceeded to explain to us that the way she had written it was confusing and "Under the Sea" was actually number 2
ME: I WANT TO GO TO NARNIA
Lydia: To Narnia?
Me: Yes to Narnia! Are we in Narnia?

Lydia! THE CANNIBALISTIC GAZELLE IS AFTER YOU! I have my precious in my pocket! I WANT TO GO TO NARNIA!... stupid fat hobbit......99 Red balloons go by...tuppence tuppence tuppence a bag...
My sissy and I have this name we call our brother(in a nice way like a nickname) I don't know how we came up with it cause it isn't like his name at all it is just some random made up word...anyway we even have a bunch of versions of it from other countries and stuff....so anyway I am bored so I thought I would put them down.

~You know you are Obsessed with Phantom of the Opera when ~
Going downstairs, you sing "Down once more to the dungeons of my black despair...!" - I do this when going to the basement...so fun!
You know all musical songs (especially E/C duets) by heart - I know them :) lol....well most of them
When in conversation, you can't help but echo "darkness" "silent" and "decided" after someone says it - haha I do this, mostly cause my sister hates how Erik repeats his words so I do it to annoy her
If you're seen smiling in the hallways, everyone knows it's because you're singing Phantom songs - haha one time I was smiling while listening to Phantom of the Opera on my ipod and Lyd was like, "Let me guess Phantom of the opera...."
While scaling down stairs, you make a low tone to each step and finally sing maniacally, "Why so silent, good monsieurs?" and all of your friends stop to let you poke them as though you had a sword. - ha I did this yesterday and my mom looked at me like I was crazy!
When you and your phantom obsessed friend write each other Notes in the same fashion as the phantom does. And when you sign them with either your initials or O.G. - I don't do this but I would love to!
When asked a question to an act you did not commit, you reel back and sing "Of course not!” - ha I have never done this but it sounded so funny so I am planning on doing it the next time it happens.....
Whenever you tell a friend to hold your seat in a movie theater, then when you come back to see someone sitting in it you suddenly yell in a booming voice (that echoes even) "Did I not instruct this seat was to be kept EMPTY?!?!" - I WISH this would happen to me!
You relate things in random conversations to POTO - yes yes, and everyone thinks I am crazy......
Whenever you scream random quotes, your friends look at you and say "Phantom of the Opera?" You nod, and continue screaming quotes. - haha this is sooooo true....not so much with quotes...more with random lines of singing...but quotes too....
Your family members know the songs by heart because of your nonstop singing - haha this has happened to my sister! she hates it because now I force her to sing the duets with me....
You sing Phantom songs at church with your friends after nearly everyone else has left. - oh so many times...more when we go in early for Sunday Evening Fellowship and we are setting up table and chairs...and I have my ipod...or even if I don't have it....I force my sister to sing with me...you have to feel sorry for her....
~Hunger Games Teams~
My friends and I decided to make teams (with cute little sayings) for the Hunger Games. Here they are!
(Please note: these are not couples teams. They are just teams.)
Team Peeta - my man can cook.
Team Gale - because bread is stupid.
Team Cato - (dead) bad guys are cool too!
Team Haymitch - Whaaat?!?
Team Thresh - Just because he's dead doesn't mean he didn't win.
Team Foxface - She's dead?! I don't believe you.
Team Capitol - It's for your own good...
Team Effie - May the odds be ever in your favor!
Team Effie - It's a big, big, big, day!!!
Team Cinna - We're gonna light you on fire!
Team Avox - ...
Team Finnick - Pretty boy
District 11 - I like food...
District 12 - Under my clothes, I'm only wearing coal dust.
District 1 - stupid names...
District 13 - Forever in our hearts.
District 13 - BOOM!!!
~THE BATTLE OF WITS~
Man in Black: All right. Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right... and who is dead.
Vizzini: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man in Black: You've made your decision then?
Vizzini: Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.
Man in Black: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
Vizzini: Wait til I get going! Now, where was I?
Man in Black: Australia.
Vizzini: Yes, Australia. And you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man in Black: You're just stalling now.
Vizzini: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man in Black: You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work.
Vizzini: IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE POISON IS!
Man in Black: Then make your choice.
Vizzini: I will, and I choose - What in the world can that be?
Vizzini: [Vizzini gestures up and away from the table. Roberts looks. Vizzini swaps the goblets]
Man in Black: What? Where? I don't see anything.
Vizzini: Well, I- I could have sworn I saw something. No matter.First, let's drink. Me from my glass, and you from yours.
Man in Black, Vizzini: [they drink ]
Man in Black: You guessed wrong.
Vizzini: You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha...
~You know you are a dancer when...~
You dance down the hallway instead of walk*(my sister thinks I am weird...)
You perform calmly before crowds yet suffer anxiety during school tests*
You are well coordinated in class but trip over your own feet walking.*(my mom thinks it is hilarious...)
A new leotard makes your whole day.*
The top shelf in your closet is stuffed with your old costumes and dance shoes. *(and old dance magazines and catalogs)
All your friends are eating dinner while you are in class.*
Every hard floor is a place for practicing.*
You don't dance for a day and even your brother notices.*
You own 25 pairs of shoes and 20 of them are 4 dance*
Everything you do has to do with dance. *
You suddenly can't count past 8. (whenever I am counting randomly I start over at eight, but I still know how to count lol)
You have bobby pins on the floor around your whole house. *
The first impression people have on you is dance. *
You have the ability to balance your body on five toes, yet cannot bend over to pick the clothes up off the floor of your room.*
You walk with your toes first unconsciously. *
You refer to half time of a football game as "intermission." * (did this once and everyone looked at me weirdly....)
You're more comfortable in dance clothes than in your regular clothes. * (oh do I ever! plus my dance clothes are way cuter)
Center stage isn't a place, it's home.* (gotta love being in the spotlight)
You have to ask, "Do you mean class class or dance class?" * (haha one time I asked someone when her classes were and she started naming off her school classes and I just looked confused until finally she was like oh you mean dance class)
You don't understand when people don't know what plies are.* (or pointe class! I have had so many people ask me what on earth pointe class is)
When you hear music, you start counting in series of 8s. *
You can whip up a ponytail in 5 seconds flat. *
You walk around your house in releve to strengthen your calves. *
You can't sit still when you hear music. *
You're pointe shoes are your babies.*
there are soooooo many more but I decided to keep it at this!
When you spell "point" you always mess up and spell it "pointe" * (all the time!)
When you are walking you count your steps, but only go up to 8 and start all over again. *
Your kitchen floor has marks all over it from pointe shoes*
You can talk about ballet all day long to people that don't care.*
Your friends say they went shoe shopping and you ask them if they got a hard or medium shank.*
Glitter is imbedded in you skin for life. * (well sort of, it used to be but now my teacher showed us this great glitter that doesn't stay in forever!)
When you go to get your hair cut you tell them to cut it long enough to be able to put it in a bun. *
You turn conversation to dance without noticing*
*apply to me :)
♥ In Christ Alone Lyrics ♥
In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
Well this got pretty long so I guess I should stop for now... I'll probably come back and and add things later :) « less
