GREASE


I JUST GOT INTO MY SCHOOL MUSICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so excited. I've never actually been in my school's musical before.
I've been in a BYU musical before(which was the best time ever) but it wasn't MY school.
Sorry, I'm so stoked about this. Even though I'm just in the chorus, I'm so happy. It's better than not being in at all. I AM SO FREAKING STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!

love ya.

Ettiquite night.

So tonight at Young Women's was and ettiquite dinner. We were combined with the Young Men. Except it was just the Mia Maids and Teachers. OMG the boys were such gentlemen. They stood up when a girl at their table left the table, or arrived. They pushed in our chairs. awwwww. There were rolls(which were sooo good), salads, lasagna w/ squash, and ice cream with a brownie. So once when I came back from the restroom, Brother Killebrew said that when you push a girls chair in for her, when you sit back down that you can scoot closer to her. When he said that I like scooted over the other way(kinda) then i realized that Darren was on the other side of me. I'm thinking "crap what do i do." lol jk but then Noble, Melani, and I all went to the "bathroom" and when we came back Collin actually did do the scooting thing. I was like...ummm okay then. when we were done Melani was like "you should have scotted back and been like 'hey' in a flirty voice" hahaha. she was kidding but it was hilarious. We talked about alot of different things, but it was so much fun, I learned some things about ettiquette to.

well love ya....

ok so my friend chloe held and end of the summer birthday bash. she has a pool so of course there was gonna be swimming. i got there at about 7:30. and swam with everyone until about 9 when we went in for cake and pizza. when we all had a peice of cake, she said stuff your face on the count of three. (as in put your face in the cake) so kristeen, katie, i think phil, and i did. chloe was only kidding....haha. but within 5 minutes, everyone was covered in icing....it was awesome. we then cleaned off, and ate pizza. then some chose to watch the old phsyco. i didn't i went back to the pool with katie and lindsey. me and katie were talking in the pool for a while, and lindsey was i think texting, then phil came out, me and katie were still talking but then phil came over and talked to us....lindsey just sat there. then some people got bored of the movie and decided to come out. thats when the REAL fun began. everyone started pushing everyone in....kinda.....the guys were pushing the girls in, and some girls pushed girls in. but eventually we all were trying to get the guys in. I think the guy's decided to gang up on me, because i would "fight" back. so while i was resisting one....another would come up behind me and push me. unless for some reason i was pushing darren, then he could just get me on his own, most of the time. then we took a break. but then we went back to pushing. me and katie were ganging up on darren, cause 1, he's CUTE. 2. he was strong, cause he is a football player. it was so fun. we then went in and did presents. chloe's dad told us a seatbelt story....lol.and then we all went back to the pool. we were still all pushing eachother in still. once i went out to grab my stuff, cause it was just before the presents, and i thought we were done with the pool. but darren was there, i was like don't push me in, i have a towel, and my mom will get mad at me because my towel was wet. he was like then take the towel off. i was like fine....he was like don't and he walked in....i just laughed.....he pused me in like 10,000 times that night....if not, close...hahaha. then people started leaving so me chloe, jared, stephine, and kayla just sat in the pool talking. then my mom came and we talked to chloe's mom for a minute, then we came home. i got home at about midnight....AWESOME hahaha.so yeah, i had a REALLY fun night.these were the people that came:chloe(duh it was her party)kayla, katie, lindsey, stephine, darren, phil, bryan, kristeen, levi, jared, me, and i think that's it...i can't remember anyone else being there.but omg the funnest part....kinda was when the neighboors(at about 10:30) started looking out their windows and glaring at us....we counted that as a complaint...haha....so we had to turn off the music, but we were definatily NOT quiter....we got louder i think....haha. we were joking saying that first was 1 complaint,then a few complaints....then finally we were gonna have the cops called on us...of course we were kidding, but it was fun. and since it was a boy/girl party when lindsey's mom came to get her, we were JOKING that yeah we had drugs and alcohol....but we were so JK. then i was like yeah and some boy's and girls got ALITTLE to close to eachother....haha. i was jk. but, kinda...we got close when pushing eachother in...but not THAT close. but yeah. it was soooooooo fun. omg out of the 5 guys who were there, the CUTEST was definatly darren. he is so gorgous and has a GREAT smile...but i don't like him like that at all.

The story I mentioned yesterday

The fanfiction story I told you about yesterday, the one I wasn't very far into, is now completed. I've been reading since 10:00 this morning(when I woke up) and finished it alittle more than an hour ago. It was so good. I so totally loved it.

Just felt like sharing.

Love ya,

Jane Austen

I am such a fan of her work. She was an amazing writer. I love reading her books. And watching movies of her books. I just love Pride & Prejudice. It's so good. As well with Sense & Sensibility.
The movies for these books are so good. I'll watch any version of them. Sad as it is to say, those are the only movies I've seen of her work, same with the books. I haven't read any of the others. Yet.
I love reading fanfictions of her books as well. I was at the library once and saw a book that looked good, about Pride & Prejudice, and checked it out. I loved it. I am now in the Middle of reading another fanfiction. It is called Mr. Darcy Presents his Bride. I only checked it out today, So I'm not very far into it yet. But it is still so good.
I strongly recommend any thing by Jane Austen. She is a really good writer. Hopefully you like that time period. If you don't like olden day England, or you don't like love stories, I wouldn't recommend it. But if you do, you should read it.

Love ya,

Rachel
