[WARNING: This has nothing to do with anything.]
I really just want to punch someone in the head right now. My show was today and personally, I did great, (well I think I did. I've been getting an inflated ego lately. My friend who came to watch it and who knows NOTHING about dance was like: you're not bad, you just need to work on your gracefullness." To which I replied FRICK YOU. In my head. In reality I just said thanks.) but a lot of the younger girls had no idea what the freak they were doing and were completely out of step and time and... anything else you can be out of step of. Normally they'd get yelled at, but since it's just the student recital, they didn't. So I had to improvise to cover them. But it still looked bad.
Going back to my friend who shall not be named's comment. I've worked my ass off for the past decade to get where I am right now. Does she think I'm not frustrated that I was born with weak ankles and a bad arch and not very much natural talent? Does she think I've stared at myself in the mirror every day and NOT realized all the imperfections in my dance and that there are so many people better than me? Usually I revel in getting critique, especially from people who I know are more skilled than me, but her attitude just set me off. That bossy little-
Also, my Nutcracker DVD just got here, but it cuts off the whole third act. So I don't get to analyze two of my roles. aa;lkfjaldfjar.
In other, more positive news, I got to dress up as a male, failed actor and do improv on stage today! It was great. I was very manly :D That role totally beats out being the soloist of the first act.

Let's save the environment, yayy.
About the whole get farmers to come here and have a farmers market thing... I love the idea, but I don't think it'll work out. First of all, I think the farmers are too busy with their own stuff. And then we have to work out schedules and get everything approved and even then its not certain that a lot of people would show up or have money or whatever.
But then I thought, what if we bought them ourselves, and then sold them (with permission of course) during lunches? Because I've been trying to think of a way to make the school lunches better for a while. I'm positive people would buy if we sold them for reasonable prices and made the food presentable. And then when we sold them we could explain how the food was all locally grown and whatnot, which might inspire them to go and buy it themselves. It just seems like a more impact-ful way, even if there are still a lot of issues we'd have to work out. Oh, plus we could make a profit. :) And then we could expand from there, and people would be more interested because they'd have experienced it already.
Another thing that's a lot less cool that we could do is to just try and persuade people to go to the Kentlands farmers market, which is a lot less involved and with a lot less risk. But that's really boring. What do you guys think?
On a totally different topic, I just watched the finale of American Idol (I haven't watched in a couple years) and it SUCKED. What happened to the talent!? alkdjfadlfkjarkhg sigh.

Okay I just remembered I had the best dream that I was best friends with Lea Michele and Chris Colfer. Best thing ever.

Where is it!?
I don't know if this only happens to me, but one of my favorite shirts has been missing for like two weeks and it's really bothering me because I've checked all the places it could be and I still can't find it! Aaarrghhhh. This has happened more than once. And every time, I think it would be really helpful if someone could just invent a contraption that can just locate everything that's missing. Like Neville's Remembrall only... better.
Anyways, I've noticed that all the rest of you always post really intricate, detailed, intelligent stuff related to the projects and I just don't. Hahaha...

There is no purpose
in my dad explaining math equations for an hour if I'm not going to understand them. Sigh.
I just spent an hour making those darn red velvet cupcakes for you guys. You'd better like them. Or I'll be pissed. Because I could have used that hour to study for math. Or better, sleep.
...Even though I could have just bought cupcakes. DOH Erin is S-M-R-T (in the words of Ms. Shiffrin.)
I hate it when I go to take a shower and my brother gets in the bathroom like two seconds before me.

Cake Pops
Whoever does the tiny little icing words on desserts must be REALLY skilled.
I made a schedule for my Spring Break that includes a lot of homework, but somehow I get the feeling that maybe only half of it will get done.

This is way overdue...
I know this is super late, but this post will be the assignment for LEED, the one where I explain how this blog represents myself/my values from my manifesto. So. Hmm. It's hard to say that one thing represents me, because it really only represents one side. The things I can most connect to with this site is the relaxed sort of feel, I suppose. I mean, especially at Wootton we're always freaking out about this test or this project or this essay, and a lot of the time I find myself thinking that people should just chill and remember that even if they can't get into a good college, they can always flip burgers at McDonalds.
...Okay so maybe that's not the best reassurance. Regardless.
I used to be pretty self-concious about what people thought of me, but I've been better about it lately. I mean, if people don't like me or what I do, it's their problem, not mine. :) And I don't really know where I'm going with this, which brings me to my next point. (That didn't make sense.)
Mostly I think this blog is a way to just put out my thoughts tangibly, (hence the name) which means that I'll usually go off my train of thought... but that's what makes it fun, right? I don't know if this met the assignment standards, but I'm probably starting to bore those of you who have short attention spans, so peace out. :)
