Bilingual (kinda)

En Français

Bon soir! Comment ça va? Moi, comme si comme ça. J'habite dans la États-Unis d'Amérique. Alors, moi, j'adore la musique et théâtre. J'aime la musique classique et musique moderne. J'adore danser mais je préfère chanter. J'ai les cheveux blondes et les yeux verts. Je suis petite. J'ai deux sœurs. Elles s'appelles Alexandra et Calyncia. Alexandra a 11 ans et Calyncia a 4 ans. Je n'ai pas d'animal domestique. J’aime aller au cinéma. J’adore les films. J’aime aller au café du week-end. J'aime parler Français.

En Anglais

Hello/good evening! How are you? I'm so-so. I live in the United States of America. So, I love music and theater. I love classical music and modern music. I love dancing but I prefer to sing. I have blonde hair and green eyes. I am small (short). I have two sisters. Their names are Alexandra and Calyncia. Alexandra is 11 years old and Calyncia is 4 years old. I have no pets. I like going to the movies. I love movies. I like going to the café on the weekend. I love speaking French.

So I kinda sound like a brainless robot (especially in english)  but you get it. It's really not a lot for half a year of French. The only other things I can say are the classes I take at school and what time it is. By the way, it is currently neuf heures et vingt du soir (9:20 P.M.) as I'm typing. Maybe I can go to Disneyland Paris to try out my new language.

When will my life begin? (possibly now)

Things are looking up *yay* I've had enough of the 5 hours of homework and teachers that don't understand and people that just up and leave my life. My parents are taking me out of Basis (I spelled it wrong just to make them mad, it's really supposed to be BASIS like they're superior to everyone else... yeah, I'm a rebel) and homeschooling me online. I am cautiously excited about this. I know the work will definitely be easier compared to my current 2 honors classes and 1 AP but I'm scared about the friend issue. Not that I have any real friends to worry about but still, how will it be when I'm at home all of the time?... I will have a social life anyway, I'm joining CYT (Christian Youth Theater, which isn't a church really, they just put on shows that are appropriate for kids and teens and it's run by Christian people) to follow my passion for musical theater...BROADWAY!... I really want to get into Broadway as my profession. I should probably post some videos of me singing. Anyway, that's another reason why Basis wasn't for me, they focus so much on math and science (again, Thank you President Obama. Remember, I'm not an Obama hater, I'm just sarcastic) and trying to get us ahead of the rest of the world (which I really don't understand anyway) that their arts programs are totally lax. Their choir is composed of 6 girls and a teacher who I heard is good but coming from an award-winning Chorus and Show Choir, it's less than mediocre. The teacher has her heart in it, but 2 girls I know in particular (who also were in Show Choir with me) say that she has started them with the basics (which is not the Basis way, mind you, my 5th grade sister is taking pre-algebra which is what I took last year) and has them singing "child-ish" songs and has thrown in some awful dance moves as well... So I'm soooooo excited to go to CYT to learn and make friends and do what I LOVE. It's my dream to get into Broadway... My Floating Lights...

Alone (again)

So you know in Tangled when Flynn Rider says he wants to be on an island alone with enormous piles of money? WHAT WAS HE THINKING??? Why would anyone want to be alone? It's the worst feeling in the world! To know that besides your family (which he didn't have anyway; he was an orphan) no one cares about you or misses you when you're gone or thinks about you...Well, that's where I am right now. Alone once again. In yearbook. Listening to music from Tangled for comfort. Because no one cares. Eavesdropping on conversations of the friends I used to have (not really, I'm not a stalker). I'm done with them now, they weren't real friends. They only cared about themselves so I'm better off without them. But it does feel awful to be alone. I'm seriously thinking of moving to Disney World. The happiest place on earth. Sounds great. When can I move in? Hopefully there is someone out there that knows how I'm feeling. If you are, please reach out to me. It would be nice for a change...

Picture Editing

One of my big presents for christmas was this picture editing system called Pixelmator. After hours of tears and confusion, I finally decided to read the manual. It sooooo payed off!

I think this picture looks so real! (below is the original)

(haha)

The day this picture was taken, it was rainy and gray so I HAD to edit it.

I love pictures like this! (my sister Calyncia)

This one was really fun!

It's not exactly the same b/c I had to cover up the names and make it completely black and white, but good for a first try, right?

Happy! (kinda)

1/11/11 My week is going better this time. My teachers are being a bit more chill because the 7th grade is doing pre-comps (whatever that is) and they seem to think that if we're stressed we'll take it out on them. But less work for me!


So I got distracted like 5 minutes ago and I was researching if Tangled will become a Broadway Musical (so far nothing.) and I  was disturbed reading comments from Disney-Haters (you hate Disney, I hate you) including one journalist for Vanity Fair, he's on the top of my hit list (just kidding). People who hate Disney have no soul. Either that or they can't take how joyful it is; in that case, they are just pure evil. Anyway, (I've been saying that a lot recently) he said that the musical numbers in Tangled and any Disney movie really, were excruciating to sit through! And that adults shouldn't go see it unless they have young children. I can somewhat understand both points (but not enough to validate them) I had to see it twice to really like the music, and there are so many adults in this world that have grown up too much to enjoy life but COME ON don't rip apart DISNEY! It's probably because there weren't really any "adult jokes" in it. And when I say "adult jokes", I mean vulgar, disgusting, laced with expletives and sex-related content. Seriously America, GET SOME CLASS! I saw Gulliver's Travels which was really cute besides the 3 distasteful jokes which go over the kids' heads but still... One joke in particular really bothered me. I hate it that PG rated movies can use "minor" bad words in their scripts. Do little kids need to hear that? I guess it's really on the parents though.






1/12/11 I'm sitting inYearbook right now. I hate this class. I can't even believe I get graded for sitting around and occasionally taking pictures. Oh yeah, and editing pages for a Yearbook I'm not buying. I refuse to support this school in any form. The ironic thing is that I joined this class for 2 reasons 1). Friends 2). It was my only choice. Both reasons are completely irrelevant now: 2 of my friends switched schools and the other remaining "friend" ditched me. The other one is kinda relevant but oh well.


So I'm sitting alone. ALONE alone AloNe Alone alONE. :...( Not so happy anymore. I'm also hungry. I didn't pack an adequate lunch. Thankfully Improv was canceled today so I can go home. This too shall pass...


Wow. It's not usual that I have run out of things to write.

EXHAUSTED!

So I finished my chores. and now I'm sooooo tired!!!!!!! I didn't start right after I posted the list so I finished in about an hour. And I was dizzy a minute ago. I think it's because I stop breathing when I'm in the zone. Probably not a good Idea but I really can't control that easily. My brain is probably like "Psh. Breathing isn't THAT important." WRONG!


Plus, this week has been sooooooo tiring. Adding to my depression, my teachers decided to make up for the last 2 weeks of vacation and piled on the homework. I have been up until 11 and later just trying to finish (and I have to wake up at 5:30) We're reading 1984 which is an EVIL book. I absolutely HATE it. I just don't like reading about depressing things and sex, lots and lots of sex. I mean, did George Orwell really run out of things to write about and fill the spaces with sex?  WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO??? I've run out of books to read at my house anyway, me and Rapunzel rereading and rereading books 3, 4, 5 times. It's monotonous. Books are getting really expensive these days. And why do they all have to come in hardcover? That just adds to the cost. It's probably the Mafia, just trying to steal all of the money from us by only releasing books in hardcover. Even paperbacks are expensive now. I had to buy St. Martin's Workbook 6th edition from my school for my honors language class for $35! So far, on books alone, we have spent $63, and that doesn't count supplies and notebooks.


My sisters are playing with Calyncia's tea set and occasionally the Rapunzel and Flynn Rider dolls. I am constantly fixing Rapunzel's hair. And it's not because I have an obsession with Tangled. It's because her hair is always getting messed up and I can not stand when dolls' hair gets scraggily! It drives me INSANE! I hardly ever played with my Barbies when I was a kid (I sound so old!) I was afraid their hair would get messed up. Plus, I was an only child at the time and I hated playing alone. Anyway, I wouldn't even play with dolls at my friends' houses if their dolls had scraggily hair. A bit OCD, I know, but it is so annoying!

7 a.m. the usual morning lineup. Start on the chores and sweep 'till the floor's all clean!
