To start off, I should say that my 'Woohoo' has nothing to do with your current situation Olivia. I knew way before what was going on with George, and I have to say, you are so much better off now. You're strong.
So, my 'woohoo' is actually about my life. I love that fact. So, today, I went with my parents to the Toronto Fall Bike Show. Then we went to a pub for lunch, and I got a Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks on the way home. I worked on my theory homework in the car. Key signatures, the Circle Of Fifths and stuff.
BUT the exciting stuff is what's going on this week. On Tuesday morning, I have to be at school at 6:45 AM. Very early. But there's a good reason. We're going to be on Breakfast Television! Jennifer Valentine and Live Eye are going to see SPLASH perform, and talk about life at an arts school. And guess who else just has to be there? Two stars from High School Musical. The day after, my Musical Theatre class specifically gets to be in the front of the audience for the results show taping of So You Think You Can Dance Canada? The show will air the day after, on Thursday at its regular time.
Despite the huge workload including mime homework, and my extra dance group where we convulse to The White Stripes in preperation for our special dance Choreography workshop, I LOVE ESA!
I updated our blog, so read over the sides. If there's something you'd like me to add, please let me know. Oh, and, Alicia? Are you still alive?
Yay! We're here, in October. The air flows cool, the colours grow warm, the scents are of gourdes... It's a good time! It's also Cut Out Dissectionmonth. You can download the calender and other helpful tips to help make our schools more animal friendly here.
Today I had my first dance evaluation. I don't get to find out how well- or not well- I'm doing until my first report card though. I feel pretty good about it though, especially for not having any prior experience. Drama class was fun today. I danced a lot, laughed a lot, kicked Rebecca a lot. It was good! You have no idea how one cup of coffee first thing in the morning can make my day so much better!
Sara, I have to let you know that my wonderful mother has already pre-ordered our copy of Appeal To Reason. And there is still no way that this Oscar kid is more obsessed than Rise Against than I am. Did he fly to San Fransisco, California, USA to see them in a fabulous concert where they played a gorgeous Swing Life Away as the encore? No. I didn't think so. Alicia, if you'd like I can burn The Sufferer and The Witness next time you come over to my house. When you give me that awesome friends DVD you made me.
You all better love the movie Stardust. Well, if you've read the original book of it, you should know that the author is Neil Gaiman. His, The Graveyard Book just came out, and here is a fantastic video of poetry reading he read. It's instructions on what to do if you fall into a fairy tale. It's very good advice people. Listen closely.
Sara, I pray too for your Nonno. I know what having a Nonno in the hospital is like. And Jeanette, for your massive homework load. Not that I don't have my own.
I've updated our lovely Important Dates, our Favourite Books, and our Links To Check Out. Go take a look, and if there's something missing from your personal schedule on the Important Dates, let me know.
Can we maybe keep the yelling on the blog to a minimum? It's not the prettiest thing to look at Sophie. The same with zero capital letters. It's really difficult to understand.
I would LOVE to borrow Untamed Sara. As soon as possible, because you know I read the last book in three hours. I don't think it will set Sophie back any for me to read it first, but it's up to you.
Blog about your weekend people. I'm glad to see we've been getting back into the habit lately. Cody, blog about Algonquin. And try to convince Shauna to blog again. It's been months for her.
Got to practice my karate and dance moves. They're strangely similar.
So today was pretty good. I had dance class first thing in the morning, and I have to say that I thought I did pretty well. I even got a small compliment from Ms. Hogg on the floor work. That made me feel way better about it. And then we got to swear in drama class. And next week we get to be little people making tea for a giant.
Sara and Alicia are the two people who've told me they're buying my book. Next time I see you please! And Alicia, when do you want singing lessons to start? It's up to you. But on Tuesdays.
Don't have much to say today. Pretty tired, but about to work on some more of my story. Anyone read chapter 7 and 8 yet? I can't wait for your feedback, so I hope you can get that to me soon. It will start to get better very soon, when they make it to the cottage. Trust me. Way better.
Thanks for the limerick compliment Olivia. And because of it, I will put up my limerick from my poetry anthology for you to read. Tell me what you think this time!

"All because of you, I believe in angels. Not the kind with wings, no not the kind with halos. The kind that brings you home, when home becomes a strange place. I'll follow your voice, all you have to do is shout it out."
