Road trip to Austin!

I'll post a blog about the whole trip later but this post is just me talking about my sister and I.
 We are crazy when we are together!! On the ride here we waved at random people at stop lights- you should have seen the looks we got! My sister, who we will call Carlz (a nickname she got a long time ago), was singing to a song at one point and using a brush as her 'microphone'. She looked at the man in the car next to us and he just stared like he didn't know whether or not to be scared or laugh his butt off!!
It was hilarious! Lets just say the side of our family that we are visiting is super... conservative? I don't know really... they are really strict with their kids (we are not aloud to say sucks and their older kids aren't aloud to watch certain shows because they don't want the younger one to see things) which I totally understand!  But just think how my sis and I feel. We are both teens and well.... its weird.
In fact we whisper stupid/dirty/or otherwise inappropriate comments to each other every 5 minutes!
 Anyway, so our family doesn't quite get us and I'm SURE we disturbed the adults and baffled and set a bad example for our younger cousin who we were with at the mall today.
 We were eating in the food court when Justin Bieber's "Baby" came on and we started singing and dancing in our seats. Let me just say that this is a first for my sis but the bagillionth time for me. After that "Drive By" by Train came on so we jammed to that. Our little cousin just stared at us with wide-eyed fasination with the public, what was to her  psychotic, outburst.
 For Carlz and I, it was just another Tuesday.
I am the craziest in our family no doubt; I'm a theatre nerd- what do you expect? And I am Happy to say that I am starting to rub off on my sister!!
 My cousin Valerie and I.... we'll.... we're something else haha! I'll save those stories for another time. (:
Until Next time!

You have the right to read whatever you damn well please

Read the article!
I find it odd that, in a country founded of freedoms, schools and libraries still have the ability to ban books. Making it harder if not impossible for some people to have access to them.
I am definitely going to look into doing the read-in and try to get my friends involved. If we do have a read-in I will post the pictures and tell you all how it goes!

Amazing dance!

I'll be honest, I don't keep up with TV shows. I was surfing youtube the other day when I stumbled across this.
This is one of the most beautiful dances I have ever seen. I could FEEL it; the emotion, the story that they were telling.
After seeing this; I will definitely start watching SYTYCD (So You Think You Can Dance).
Just thought I'd share it with those who may not have seen it because I absolutely love it!

More Than Just Another Pretty Face

Where to begin? I think I will keep my name to myself for now, that may change in the future. I am a sophomore in high school. I love music beyond reason; I hear it and it's like the beat flows through me; through my soul. I can feel myself rise and fall along with the beat. I can't simply 'listen' to a song and take it at face value; I embrace it and it takes me on a journey as it resonates within my soul. I know it sounds cheesy, but it's the only way I can describe it with words.
My passions include singing, dancing, and acting. What can I say? I was born to preform.
I discovered this last year that not only do I like writing.... but I'm actually good at it. Oddly enough, I have my World Geography teacher to thank for that... I used to think I was horrible.
I am unsure as to where this blog is going exactly.... so we'll have to wait and see how things unfold.
Until next time,
