A year in review...

So... it is already the end of the year. Awkward...  So, without any further ado, I shall be giving you a summary of my actually life this year, and the things that may have happened in it.

Mama, Me, 'n' MANdy

The first thing of import that happened last year was UTA! For those of you unaware, this stands for Utah Theater Association NOT Utah Transit Authority.  Basically, it is when high school actors all get together and go to class and workshops and other various things.  MANdy, Mama, SoOzIn and I were pretty close on this trip.

Next that deserves, you know, being in my blog, because it is all big and important or something, is the REGIONAL DRAMA MEET.  This is a drama competition.  Yes, they DO actually exist.  Funny, huh?  WE DRAMA KIDS ARE JUST AS HARDCORE AS STUPID SPORTS FOLKS!! Anyway, there are lots of different categories that you can compete in, including things like humorous monologues,  old... timey  monologues (I can't actually remember what this is called... awkward) or like, Modern-day scenes and stuff to that effect.  There are rounds and judges... blah blah blah... I didn't actually compete, but I went and watched the rounds and was supportive and what not.

Drama Kids at their finest

Alright. Up next is THE FESTIVAL OF COLORS.  I went to this BEAUTIFUL thing with Trik, Crack, Prime, and Bobo.  It was good stuff not only because it was the Festival of Colors which I would imagine would always be fun, but also because we all wore various helmets/costumes.  Bobo wore the Darth Vadar Helmet and an AF cape that he made.  Trik was dressed as Link from Legend of Zelda, with THE BEST FLOPPY GREEN HAT I HAVE EVER SEEN.  Prime had the Optimus Prime head. Yup. Anyway, Crack had the Bumblebee Helmet on, and I had a generic clone helmet.  It was super fun, and EVERYONE AND THEIR DOG wanted their pictures with us.  It was slightly ridiculous.  It was super fun. I love the men of whom I went with. A LOT.

Nextly, is the END OF THE YEAR BANQUET.  Yes I know there is an actually other blog post, but this was a REALLY important point in my year!  There was MUCH weeping involved.  That is basically all I am going to say about it.

I love them!

Also, my favorite BATMAN took me to Lagoon for the first time in my life!  Holy Poo, I love this woman.  She made me go on every single ride that I said I was too scared to go on.  And yes.  Every ride that she made me go on I had buttloads of fun, but as they would start up I would be screaming "I HATE YOU I HATE I HATE YOU!!"  :D One of the funnest days in my whole life.

Uh... I am kind of done writing now I think, though I only got to June... darn. So... Here are pictures for events and things I didn't mention!

Prime's Birthday Party

MOST INTENSE HOCKEY MATCH EVER

... Birthday?

All right folks.  Here is the lowdown.

Yesterday was my 17th birthday. Yes exciting and whatnot.  Anyway, I slept at the Oswaldadon's house, and it was AWESOME.  For dinner, we had STEAK WRAPPED IN BACON.  Magic, right? And then I stayed up till two in the morning playing Assassin's Creed.  To top that off, in the morning (aka morning of birthday)  the Oswaldadon made magical birthday muffins and bacon and eggs.  It was really really yummy.

On the way to my actual house, we got stuck in traffic on the freeway, due to the fact that there was a really bad wreck.  We were on the freeway for like and hour, but it was good because we all sang along with the radio in ridiculous voices.  It was pretty awesome.

Anyway, when we finally got to my house, Cadbury and her family were all there already.  We were planning on going to Parkers for lunch, because they are both cheap and they are going out of business.  However,  we couldn't actually get through, and nobody really wanted to drive down there and order and wait forever, so we decided to go to FIVE GUYS instead. 

For those of you that don't know, FIVE GUYS is probably the most magical burger place ever to live.  We ordered online (I got a BACON CHEESEBURGER with extra CHEESE and BACON), and then the men went to go get it.  It was super magical!  Anyway, after they got back, we all ate, and then just sort of chilled.

As my family was leaving my house, my dear friend Trik called, wondering if I had any fun plans for my birthday.  I told him I didn't really have any, which was totally true. I have such an exciting life.  He was wondering if I maybe wanted to go hang out with him, which I was totally OK with.  He said he had some stuff to do first though, and not to come up till 5:30.  I OK with this, I just had to figure out something to do for the next hour and a half.  Then... TADA! Surprise! Hair called and wanted to know if I could hang out until I went up to Trik's house. So me and Hair watched the Cathrine Tate Show, which is... really odd. A very very VERY strange show.

Anyway, long story short, Trik was THROWING ME A SURPRISE PARTY!!! :D  It was SUPER awesome!!  We played Apples to Apples and watched Sherlock Holmes, and just sort of PARTAYED IT UP! Hair, of course, was in on all of it.  He was distracting me because Trik wasn't actually done when he thought he would be, so he had me and Hair go get him some chips.

But yes, those are the exploits of my birthday. IT WAS THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER. That's all.

What time is it? IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME!

Dear Blog,
In case you didn't know, it is now CHRISTMAS BREAK, which means 17 unschoolified days of LIFE, MERRYMENT, and TOTAL JOY.  True,  I still have to work, but HEY! That is ok because I actually like my job... Most of the time.  When it's crazy busy then it kind of makes me really stressed.

Anyway, in other news, my plans for this BREAK:
1.  IT'S MY BIRTHDAY IN 4 DAYS. I don't actually know for sure what is happening with this, but it will be fun.  Probably I'll go out for some flavor of foodstuff with my family, and I know some of me pals wanted to fiesta, but I don't know.

2. Then of course there is the fact that it is CHRISTMAS. I love that day.  Celebrating the Savior, spending time with the Fam, and eating till ones stomach is content. What could be better about life?

3.  At some point over this break, I would like to spend the night at both of my sisters' houses.  Cuz, see, I LOVE them a whole bunch.

4. My filming friends wanted to get lots of filming done over this break, so that will be happening as well. I don't actually know WHAT we are going to be filming, but... it'll be good.

5. Also, I have my video game plans.  I wish to finish Kingdom Hearts 2 (again), beat Final Fantasy 12,  play Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time,  and play Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, and (if I sleep over at the Oswaldadon's home) play Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.  I am a GIANT nerd.

6. Last of all comes homework. Yes, I do have homework over this break, and it sort of makes me want to DIE.  I know, I know.  This should probably be the highest on my list of things to do this break, but I DON'T CARE. I REFUSE TO LET IT SLAY THE FUN OF CHRISTMAS TIME.

So yes, a lot of stuff to happen this break.  Probably, I won't get all of this done.  MOST LIKELY, I will get maybe one or two of those things done completely. That is the story of my life right there.  But yes, I AM EXCITED. Now, blog, enjoy your life, and... don't get raped while I am off enjoying myself.
