I watched this movie with my mom a few days ago. I loved it more than...most other movies. I don't think I've ever been so worked up about a spelling Bee before, not even my own! But on of my favorite quotes was in the movie:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
-Maryanne Williamson
When I get a chance I'm going to have that framed and put in my room.
It reminded me of Girls Camp, because while we were thinking about themes, we wanted something to go with Virtue, (for those of you who don't know, Virtue is the newest Young Woman Value, and its color is gold) and I thought of Proverbs 31:10, "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies", and from there we decided the theme of GC this year will be "Far Above Rubies". It's ward camp, so we are doing ALL the planning. It's camping. [Camping is intense and in-tents]BUT don't tell my sister! It's her first year of camp, and my last year, so I have to carefully keep her out of the loop for EVERYTHING!
Also, March 26-28 my high school orchestra is competing in the National Heritage Festival in L.A., at Fullerton College(I think). If anyone will be around that weekend and would like to hear us play, I believe it will be on Saturday that we actually perform. You are ALL invited. OR, sometime before that we are having our Showcase, so you can hear us perform our Festival pieces and others in our stash of music, right here at home. More details to come!

Hmm...
I was talking to my English teacher recently about which 12th grade English course she would recommend me to, and she was automatically set on me taking AP English Literature. She always gives me high marks on my essays and says she loves to read what I have to say. The following is what I DON'T show her:
You know when you've just kind of hit an...emotional slump? Like you have plenty of reason to be perfectly happy, but you just can't seem to perk up?...yeah. With the exception of school, I was kind of like that all weekend. I don't know why. Maybe it's because another Single's Awareness Day is coming up, or my brother is leaving for the Border Patrol academy soon, or just nothing. And I've had my iPod on shuffle just randomly going through songs, and it seems like it's playing all of the ones that fit my mood, meaning they are slower and not always the most cheerful. Oh well.
I DID say with the exception of school, right? RIGHT!??!?! CAUSE AT SCHOOL I WAS A SPAZZ!!! I was sitting there, bouncing off the walls. It was FUN! And I was conducting in Orchestra and was like bouncing-bouncy-bouncy-boing boing boing ladee dah WHOA got off track...But yeah and we were playing this HORRIFICALLY slow song and the violins kept telling ME to SLOW DOWN (Even though I was conducting so they should have been following me regardless)(speaking of which, ~zimcod7 where WERE you!) and Mr. Wall just sat there and laughed as I bickered with the viola's regarding whether or not they were allowed to ask me a question. It went something like this:
Mark: KT KT KT CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION??????!?
Me: NO YOU CANNOT! YOU JUST DID!!!!
Mark: but wait I need to ask you something!
Me: NOPE You LOST your privilege when you asked me a question without asking!
Mark: But but but....KTKTKTKTKTKTKTKTKT *waves hand frantically*...
Me: WHAT!!!
Mark: I can't remember, what was I gonna ask you?!
Sean: KTKTKTKTKTKTKTKTKT...HI.
Me: SEAN I DID NOT GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO SPEAK!!!!
Sean: But but but
Me: FAIL!
Mark: Hey KT! HI!
Maria: *to the whole class* HEY GUYS SHUT UP!
Someone: No Why don't YOU shut up?!
Me: We have GOT to be the nicest class EVER!
Maria: Hey guys, Shut up PLEASE!
Me:Thank you Maria. Ok, ready? GO!
I loved the Doritos commercial yesterday. The one that was like:
Hey look I've got a REAL crystal ball!
No way.
Yeah huh. Watch. Mr. Crystal ball,will we get free doritos today?
*Throws Crystal Ball at doritos vending machine*
*glass front of vending machine breaks, exposing Doritos*
Sweet we do!
Also, My boss talked to the crazy lady (the one that chewed me out last week) today, and after he was done he just walks over to me a bit:
"She's a wild one isn't she?" says he.
"Well...she's not the...most understanding person I've ever met" says I.
Boss gives me this face like, "Now that's an understatement if I ever heard one"
I ate the deep fried Oreos today at EZ Take-Out Burger today. I HIGHLY recommend them. Jared compared them to a funnel cake. I've never had it, but he IS the culinary genius, so I'll trust him with that comparison.
