I'm quitting ballet. Sorry I haven't posted much, but I've been doing a lot of soul searching.

Basically, I'm too short to have a career. I'm gonna quit and see if I grow enough (or even grow at all). Since this blog is ballet themed, I'm going to be changing blogs. I'll post the link soon.

For now, Goodbye!

I had to edit this post because some of the stuff in National Treasure 2 is...disapointing. And it would have been such a great movie otherwise! Oh well, Narnia is probably better anyway.

I would take it very kindly if December 21 would hurry up and come.

We're watching "The Battle Over Citezen Kane". It's interesting, I don't like the movie itself though.

Otherwise, I'm reading the Kingdom series. I'm still trying to figure out why Seattle, of Elttaes, got into the story (I read book 1 and then book six came so I'm reading that one next, so I might have missed something).

Last night, we watched Shanendoah. It was really sad, but I loved the ending and I'm thinking of putting something along those lines in my NaNoWriMo novel. Two days ago, I suddenly realized that my novel was ended and that I would have to turn it into a trilogy in order to find something to write.

I was quite amazed to find there was no panic this year on the 22nd. Instead, we had a lovely, delicious, relaxing, quiet, peaceful, thankful, and all aroung good day.

For those who haven't guessed, these descriptive adjectives were provided courtesy of my dad.

I just looked back at my first post and realized that I have been blogging for 1 year, 20 days.

Ok, so that's not exactly correct. I looked back a little further and realized that I spent only about 31 of those blogging. I have no clue what I did the rest of the time.

     Ok, so I haven't been the most faithful blogger ever. I am here by apologizing. I have a good excuse, though! I'm doing NaNoWriMo. 

     The only problem is that at about 4000 words, I ran out of story and have been waking up each morning thinking "Ok, so what on earth am I going to write about today?".

     Now: It's Thursday morning. We do this every year. We sit around, enjoying the weather, watching the Macy's parade. Then, in the afternoon, the fun begins:

      "Oh no! It's ten minutes before the guests arrive and this place is a wreck!!!!!"

     Panic sets in.

     On that note, Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

Just dropping by to post this really cool video of a dance a company in my area is doing:

Ok, so we're back in MN, I'll blog more about that later, and we're on Grandpa's computer alot. I changed his screensaver so it said "KK for President". Even though I can't run till 2028, I might as well get a head start, right? It evolved from there. A couple days later, I happen to catch the computer on screensaver, it said "Barney Rules", Barney being my Uncle. I quickly changed it to "Barney Rules What?". Talk about Punctuated Equilibrium, the very next day it evolved into "Barney Rules?". Deciding that would not do, I changed it one last time to "No, KK Does". I wonder what the reaction of some of the family members who read this and are not in on the joke will be.

PS. *Disclaimer* I do not believe in macro-evolution.

I made this drawing of a shell I'm trying to sell online. I'm not sure I like this one as well, but there's more to come.

My parents decided that the bats had been coming from my Grandpa's room, since they had their door open. However, the next night, My Mom was on the phone with one of my uncles who was certain that there had been a bat in my parents room while he was staying there with the door closed.

We're staying at a hotel. There are no cracks to be found in that room. It kind of freaked out my Mom. Otherwise, we're fine.

This is the one with the eight random facts. I've noticed this one going around alot in bloggerdom. Guess you just can't avoid it.

Here's how it works: You type eight random facts and then tag eight people. Comment on their blog to let them know you've tagged them.

I was tagged by SAMIAM

1. I'm allergic to mustard.

2. I can't sleep without a fan on high all year round.

3. I've been in three countries (other than the U.S.): Denmark, Norway, and Canada. I don't remember Denmark or Norway since I was eight months old at the time.

4. I hate repitition.

5. I make a habit of not drinking cafiene (I like my brain cells in tact).

6. I don't like coffee.

7. My bone age (devolempent of my bones as compared to the average person's age) is traditionally 11/2 years behind.

8. I've been dancing for eight years.

I think I'll just pass along the joy. You read this, you're tagged.

How could she do this to me? I was reading samiam's blog and I scroll down to see at the end of a tag something to the effect of: if you read this, you're tagged. Here goes part 1:

1. What state do you live in? Washington (I told you I don't live in Minnesota).

2. Do you have a pool? No, but at the moment, I've adopted a lake.

3. Do you like Animals? Yes.

4. What's your favorite animal? Gerbils.

5. Do you have Any siblings? Yes, Jitterbug is my younger brother.

6. Do you have an account on an animal site such as Virtual Horse Ranch or Virtual Pups? What is that?

7. Which ten people are you going to tag? Hmm, How 'bout I start with you?

I like bats from a distance, but since they can carry rabies, I'd prefer it if they keep it that way. Minnesota has bats. The house we're staying in, in fact, has an infestation. No one told me that till about 5 o'clock in the morning (Central time, 3 am, our time).  Mom and Dad entered the room and turned the light on something around 4. They talked to Jitterbug and mentioned something about bats. I rolled over and went to sleep. A few minutes later, Dad came back. This time I woke up.

"There's a bat.....our bedroom." I sat up.

"Did you say in or was in?"

 "In." There went my night.

Don't worry about my sleep, I got a long nap after the exterminator came.

I'll do those tags in a different post.

I don't live in Minnesota. That's a pretty useless fact until I tell you that I'm in Minnesota, you see, my grandpa is sick with cancer so I've been expecting to go for a couple weeks, but I didn't find out until last friday. My Mom had gone back already, so Nick and I were going to friends houses all week. At one such house, my Dad came over to dinner after his work was done. Between dinner and desert, he suddenly said something to the effect of  "We're leaving Monday morning". Suprisingly, I wasn't suprised. So here I am.    I got tagged twice in the same day by samiam. I'll have to do those tomorrow.

     I have reached a landmark point in my blogging career today. I set my settings so that one page is twenty posts Long. This being might 21st post, I have graduated to being a  two page blogger.   

     A few months ago, I discovered this really cool web site called lulu.com. It allows you to self publish things like books, CDs, and the DVDS. With it, we plan to produce a CD.  the five of us being the sum total of our church choir, and living in the same neighborhood, we decided why not record our singing?   If everyone cooperates, we should be done by the end of the month.   

Now that everyone has thoroughly forgotten about the 4th of July, I'm going to post my fireworks pictures.

      "...And today, in our 'Adventures in Endodontics' class, we will be learning the basics of root canals..." and Classical Ballerina over here is today 's guinea pig. I did get braces on and, due to my teeth moving to fast, I had some trauma on one of them that caused resorbtion which forced me to get a root canal. Which is how I ended up in Adventures in Endodontics. The things we learn while homeschooling. 
     We've started summer ballet. I probably won't go back to SUS.  The modern classes weren't very good. Other then that, there isn't much that's changed. Maybe that's why I haven't been posting very often.  I'll try to post more often from now on.
