Long time no see everybody! You know, you guys could make a better effort to write in your blog about current events, instead of writing about it a month and 16 days later! I mean, can you say slacker? Let's pick up the pace here people!
So a very large apology for the lack of posts lately. I have been very busy...and stuff. Which is no excuse, I guess, since the whole point of this blog is to tell you guys WHY I'm busy. But that's just the way it happened. Sorry!
Since I haven't blogged in a month and 16 days, I thought I should backtrack, and make a quick commentary on all the days I SHOULD have blogged about, but didn't. So here we go!
October 11: Columbus Day. No school!
October 19: My grandparents arrive from Greece! Nick and I are picked up early from school (yeah baby) and greet our European grandparents at the airport. We drive them home and show them around. Lots of talking and eating and unpacking ensued.
October 22: TJ application deadline. But don't worry; I turned mine in weeks earlier.
October 27: Monthly anniversary for me and my braces! I do love you metal deathtraps glued onto my teeth!
October 30: Halloween party at my place! 15 kids were invited, 9 could make it, 8 actually came. None the less, fun party! Everyone was dressed up, and there was lots of Halloween music, decorations and food for us hoodlums! The party ended with a bang at 11 o'clock by staring at the ceiling in my room. (Obviously out of exhaustion from my exhilarating and insane party!)
October 31: Happy Belated Halloween! Hey dad, let's go follow Nick and his one friend Trick or Treat while I am dressed ridiculously, so that we can reminisce the good ol' days when I used to Trick or Treat, (Last year) whilst freezing our behinds off! And I WON'T occasionally Trick or Treat, and WON'T hold out my hands instead of a plastic pumpkin, and WON'T get any strange looks from adults handing out candy while they drop a piece or two into my waiting palms. That's what I WON'T do.
November 1: Both my grandfather's and my Name Day. Celebrate all the Danielle/Daniel's of the world! (I assume you all celebrate this special day in your homes too.) We all go out and have a Danielle-lisious meal at Not Your Average (Joe's), the bestest restaurant on the east coast. If you haven't eaten there before or don't like it, you are not a human being and probably live in a cardboard box eating bugs all day and talk to the trees about the stock market. Oh, and we also have the no school, because of a Teacher Work Day, I believe.
November 2: Election day! No school! Vote on THAT.
November 8: I Audition for my school's musical, Mulan. All girls must sing "You'll Bring Honor to Us All" and impress the judges and chorus teacher. I am a Smarts Mill Middle School Musical Veteran though, so I make the callbacks.
November 10: I attend a TJ prep class at my school to...well, prep. For the Thomas Jefferson Admissions Test in 2 FREAKING WEEKS, that is.
November 15: Callbacks and another TJ prep class. I sing, "Keep 'Em Guessing", a song for Mushu, little dragon thing, who, yes, is a boy in the movie, but can also be a girl in the play. We also had to act out a scene from the musical. Went pretty well.
November 19: The Mulan Cast list was announced!!!! One of my good friends got Mulan and another got Mushu. I got the part of Mulan's Grandmother! Woo! Old lady time! (I still haven't figured out what I might have done at the audition and callbacks to seem like a good person to be the grandmother...do I resemble a senior citizen?)
Anyway, that's as about updated as it gets!!! Must go watch the new HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS. cya!
Love,
Danielle
Danielle, this is father time. We were trying to tell you the bad news, that you were actually a 83 year old trapped in a teens body, and this was the best way I could think of to break the news to you. Now you know..
ReplyDeleteGood part is, you don't reeaaaly have to act! Just be yourself. Stay old, -father tyme
You are halarious father tyme. Though your news has been hard to absorb, I have come to the conclusion that being an old woman trapped in a teens body is a whole lot better than being an old man in an old mans body. Keep trying to be funny and wrinkly- young and lively 83 year old
