Let It Snow, Baby. Let It Reindeer.

Yeah, basically the new best holiday CD on the market today. My favorite song is Sleigh Ride, followed by I Hate Christmas Parties and The Twelve Days Of Christmas. :) Relient K is soooo random and wonderful, and probably one of my favorite bands. 

Parents have been asking me what I want for Christmas. My list isn't complicated. I just want a hairbrush and some toothpaste. My poor hairbrush... the finish is shredding off, and half the bristles are missing. :( As for the toothpaste... somehow, my toothpaste is sucked away faster than any of my sib's toothpastes... and I don't think it's because I brush my teeth too much. =/ (BTW, my favorite toothpaste is Aquafresh. Oh yeah!) 

I'm turning 16 in 10 days. All year I planned about what kind of party I want, who I want to invite, what I'm going to do after I turn 16, etc. etc. Now I don't really care. I'm just going to have my party in February, after it's long forgotten, and I'm going to invite 3 friends, and we are going to play Guitar Hero until dawn. Sounds good to me! haha! 

There is one good thing about turning 16, though. I am going to get a job at the local copy store. I know the owners very well already, because I babysit their kids regularly, so the mom offered me a job, as soon as I turn 16. And it's not just a copy shop. I will be learning how to create icons, build websites, learn HTML, and of course, learn how to run a copy shop. I'm so excited! This is exactly what I want to do in life. My plan is to go to a community college for 2 years, to get all my basics done, and then I am going to go to a big art institute to learn computer programming, website designing, graphic designing, etc. From there, I can either get a job out in public, or I can create my own home business. I plan on being independent, and working my way up. Maybe I'll go for 4 years at the art institute and learn more, and get a bigger degree. So many options... and it's all starting with this little copy shop. I'm so excited! 

Oh, another thing is happening on my 16th. I will be performing in the Nutcracker for the 3rd year in a row! This year I have 3 parts: Waltz of the Flowers (my teacher's favorite part), Garden Attendant, and Lead Maid. It's not fabulous, but Flowers is by far one of the best dances in the show (except for the Sugar Plum Fairy and all...). So I'm satisfied. Next weekend, I'll have 4 shows, and I'll be sooooo tired. haha! I'm so looking forward to it!!! Even my brother, and Osprey are performing too. They are Lead Party Boys in the party scene. They're going to do so well! I can't wait! 

And now that I've got onto the topic of dance, I just remembered this little thing about my pointe shoes... I have feet like bananas (think steel bananas, and you have the right idea), so I need really really really hard pointe shoes. Normally, shoes only last me a month or so, before they're like soft shoes. So I'm wearing a new style, called Sansha. Sansha pointe shoes have supremely hard shanks, and even have removable plastic shanks to use when the first shanks "die." Well,  I had to use the plastic shanks right away. Those shoes were HARD! It was like wearing steel-toed boots! Then I started having problems, and when I took the plastic shanks out, both of them were broken in half. >.<

Well, that's all I have to say in this post. Next time I'll try not to wait two weeks before writing again. :) Toodles!
