My pulse is flat-lined as I'm running towards you...
Friday night, we went to the Follies-
the talent competition for the local school system.
It was pretty awesome, I I do say so.
Four renditions of "Tim McGraw" by Taylor Swift
kind of ruined it, but...
Jonathan, my friend's brother, did yo-yo tricks.
He should have placed, he had yo-yo's flying everywhere.
Seriously, he even had one that came off the string
and he'd catch it on the string in midair!
There was another guy, Tyler L., who played
"Don't Call Me Peanut"
by Bayside
on his guitar, and sang. He did well-should've placed, too.
Ashley, captain of the colorguard, did a colorguard routine on stage.
Three dances, twirling of sabers, flag, and rifles, and plenty of dramatic posing.
She got third. I wouldn't have thought...I mean, she always wins first.
However, first was captured this year by a guy who had too much testosterone
and a song about loving the south and shooting squirrels.
Ugh. Honestly, that's how you can tell it's a Georgia talent show.
He also got a contract to sing country and gospel at the local tractor show.
What an accomplishment!
Second place went to a guy who did bike tricks on stage.
He deserved it, of course. He flung his bike between bleachers
rode it up bleachers, jumped on stage from a standstill, and everything else.
There were some other acts, of course-some more singing, and some more instrumentals.
By the time the show was over, I knew all the words to at least three Taylor Swift songs-
something I don't really enjoy.
Anyway, after that, my friend's mom, who had given us tickets to begin with took us to McDonald's for ice cream. It was really fun!
(the band must sell them, and Taylor M. is in colorguard, so her mom is a band booster.)
(most band students sell their tickets to people and do something interesting that night, but TM decided to go with us, and Ty, TM and I were there for like, three hours.)
The next day, we went and got Ty's hair cut.
Then we went to McDonald's, and to WalMart.
Later, we went to Walmart again, this time with Laura, because we had been told the wrong movie time,
then Laura's mom took us to Fazoli's!
We had some cool discussions about spiking spaghetti with cinamon and giving it to Jonathan, Laura's brother, the risque romance novels at walmart, and how that the book Inkheart would always reming us of Alex and Jordan trying to conduct a wedding ceremony for Kaelan and Taylor in Mr.Broom's class,
and Mr. Broom condoning allowing it!
We then saw 10,000 BC.
Good movie.
I ended up getting home around midnight!
Can't wait for this weekend-
Ty's birthday!
I made a music video for her,
and I have to go over around 2 to help Lynn blow up balloons!
It's gonna be great!
