Wow, its been a while since I've posted anything. My computer has really slowed down, so I had to put everything on CDs just in case the computer crashes, so now that I'm done, and deleted a bunch of stuff, it is still super slow. I just want it to crash, if it crashes the new tower comes faster. Not much has changed since the last post. My music class is done so only four classes a day until the end of the school year. Grad/end-of-school mass is next week, so I had choir this past week and next week to practice. Congrats to the music teacher (who left after the 2nd last mass) for her baby. We all hope he gets better soon.

I just got back from the Folk Arts Festival, its a yearly thing in my area. I was in it once when the dance I was apart of had the chance to perform there. The food there was just amazing, it was hard to decide what to eat and what not to. My sister and I ended up sharing pastsa, and a pita. Its a good thing we did a bunch of walking.

For next year the music teacher, who leaves next year to teach elsewhere, has planned to set up an Art Executive. Whoever teaches the music classes also head the choir, which means choosing the songs for the masses. It should be easier if there is a group of students who are there to help. I am aiming for the president of the Art Executive, according to one of my friends there is someone else running for the same position, but for now that is all I know of. Most people probably won't because it would be easier if you are a rep. rather than a VP or the president, so lucky me, less competition.

The Start of Friday Night

Okay, while Nire tries to learn how to play guitar hero I figure I would give a quick synopsis of tonight so far.  Nire, twin 2 (Nire's "twin") and I came to my house, and ate Smart Food, oh yeah. Walked over to the mall, took a look at Stephenie Meyer's new book, The Host, which better arrive at the library soon. After I bought socks made for flats, so that no one can tell that your wearing them (I got in trouble from the physics teacher over that) we decided to go for some 5 pin bowling, which Nire won. So now Friday night bowling shall be the new tradition since it's cheaper than a movie. It's too bad that Arved couldn't come tonight, but she's can hang out next weekend. Long-weekend, 4 days, no school.  And now for my turn at guitar hero, which right now I am the best at since Nire's still new to the game and twin 2 (gotta come up with a name for her) had to go home early.

Excited, Excited, Excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *screams and scares the cat away*  on Friday the official twilight preview is being released. I all but freaked over the trailer and can't wait to see the entire thing Friday night. Or morning if it comes out before I leave for school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know some people might think that I freaking out over this but I am a twilighter and proud of it. I can't wait for the movie to come out, but first Breaking Dawn comes out. *squee*

Fading Memories

I am still considered part of the young crowd. I hang out at the theatres with my friends, except for the fact that the nearby by cheap theatre that we could walk to at the nearby mall, is gone. Since we don't want to take the bus to the other mall, why don't we walk down to the playground. It's gone now, all three that were nearby, great for playing in. 

The parks that I grew up at, where my siblings and some of my cousins grew up at. The same playgrounds that were taken down and replaced by a splash pad and a new park. It maybe shiny and new but it is not the same park with the metal slides that would heat up in the summer sun. Not the same slides that were easy to climb once learnt how. Not the same monkey bars, that my grandpa helped us all to cross on. Definitely not the place we would escape to when we didn't want to help clean up after supper. There is no two tires side by side, off the ground with bars to run on. No bars the are up to your waist by the time your 13, one on either side of you, to climb on. No slanted wood slabs that are perfect to rest on. No swings that would spilt us up so we could all go on even if it meant using the baby swings as well.

The two favorite trees are gone. One the split up the middle, so ever close to the ground, perfect for climbing. The one tree that had swirls going up and around it, which no matter how many times you tried to climb it you couldn't. Both the stumps of those trees have also disappeared. Not even a trace of the fact that they have been there left. Along the trails of these parks is nothing. On one part there is barely any trees alone. Another, there is the old set of tennis courts and a few evergreen trees. On the last part there is the hill(s) that are amazing for riding bikes on, and the tulips that my grandpa planted that come up every year.

Some days I wish that everything changes back, that I can revisit those spots and have more than just memories, but a place where I feel I belong. It is always nice to know that it won't change that when you return it will be the same. It is never possible, so much has change from my childhood, and so much more will continue to change.
