Christmas has come and gone (at Mom's house). My new family was wonderful to see and talk with. I got to hang out with Melisa, Scott, and Amanda (my new niece). We skyped Brittany, who lives far far away. I ate a lot of food and drank a lot of really good coffee and got some super sweet gifts that I totally love. Schoolwork-free time has been nice and I've almost finished the last season of Doctor Who that I need to see before I can watch Season 7! Yay! I have a week to finish both of them and catch up with this season, which is nice. I do love the Doctor. 
So other than the randomness and family that Christmas causes, I have been developing my flexibility once again for the circus, practicing several monologues for Theater 3 auditions, and memorizing my lines for the play we will be performing in February. It's all so exciting! I really can't wait to see all the amazingness my cohorts will have dreamt up by then. Especially since my adorable boyfriend is playing the love interest (AWWWWWW) and although I'm the narrator and rather sassy Minstrel, it will be fun to see him act. Not like in Inquiry where we recited lines with no character, but to really ACT like someone he's not. 
Okay, theater/Christmas rant over. TARDIS OUT!

 “If you want to talk, take Drama.”
Excuse me? Take Drama? Does Mrs. Truelove even know about how much effort the dramatic arts take? We don't just sit there and talk. It certainly isn't a blow-off class where you don't really partake in anything. Our plays take months of rehearsal, sometimes we don't get enough rehearsal time in and we hone our improvisation skills. We play games to keep our reactions sharp and within the plot.
Take Drama? Lines have to be memorized in two weeks, including cues. Everything is run on a basis of how smart you are and how fast you can react to a situation going downhill. The theatrical arts take skill, talent, focus, and effort. Yes, we do talk a lot. Plays are consistent of mostly lines because you have to know what's happening and you couldn't do that without words. I don't think she understands us, the theater kids. We work extremely hard to put on a good production in not enough time.
Maybe before you say something, you should know what you're talking about. 


And that was my one sassy post about being upset at a teacher. Sorry, no disrespect meant, I just hate when people say things they don't totally understand. 

My darling, my dear, my one true love, Christian, is an idiot. He got suspended today. 
It's really annoying because now my previously happy day is going to be very lonely and boring without him, not to mention the crap I know he's going to get from his parents because he had to get a ride home. I really wish our school would be less stupid sometimes. I respect the adults and their decisions, but they tend to only ridicule students when those students directly offend them. They don't pay attention to bullying, but a student gets upset at an authority figure and makes a stupid mistake (first time, by the way) and they get SUSPENDED?
Excuse me, but that's just moronic. Thank you very much.
Well I need to get off the rage-train before it goes places it shouldn't. 
Goodbye lovelies!

Madrigal Dinner went extremely well and Chri- excuse me, Sir Peter even waited our table! I had a blast laughing at the jesters jokes, listening to some beautiful music, and ogling my attractive Sir.
Tonight he and I are having "Christmas" and going to see the Hobbit!

Tonight is the Madrigal Feaste! And I am going! My mom and I have been talking about going since I was in third grade and we saw the Ye Olde Madrigal Parking signs out in front of the school. I really wanted to go for years and when the time of year came around we just didn't have enough money or didn't have time. This year, though, my senior boyfriend is in it and I have to see him in tights before he graduates! :)
My mom and I are making a date night out of it. We'll dress up all nice and do our hair and go to the school where we will sit and enjoy the show (and the view *whistle*) but hey it's a party. 
Onward ye merry friends!

There are lights in the school hallway, strung up on the ceiling. And they blink obnoxiously. The first time Mia and I saw them she looked at me and said, "Merry Christmas Seizure." And so 'season' turned to 'seizure' and the jokes continue almost endlessly. Woot woot. 
But I love Christmas and all the fun it brings. Especially getting the opportunity to tell all the people I love just how much I love them by not getting them presents because I am poor. Actually I'm just jobless, but that should be remedied soon.

So other than that, today I had a dentists appointment. So I had to leave school (and Christian, sadly) to go. Then after that my Daddy Bud picked me up and took me to his office where I am happily chilling out now while my step-brother Matt (who is awesome) plays with sound effects in the background. :) HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS SEIZURE EVERYBODY!

In fourth hour tomorrow we will get our scripts for The Emperor's New Clothes and also get to audition this week. I AM SO EXCITED! I love auditions for stuff. Especially plays that make me super happy. There are parts in it that Christian and I would both rock at, but I want to try to challenge myself. I was going to just sit this class out and watch Chris's performance at the end, but I really wanted to take part and the thought of seeing him everyday called me too much. 
And Madrigal Feastes are coming up. It's exciting to get to see my boyfriend, singing, in period clothing (tights). Oh my gosh I am so excited for Saturday! <3

I had a scary dream the other night. I don't want her to know that I had it because she may use it against me. I dreamt that she came back again, and he looked at her with the gaze he saves for only me. I dreamt that she put her arms around his neck and held him like I do.
She makes me cry in my sleep and toss, turn, shake until I wake up and sit, tears streaming down my face. I love him so much and losing him scares me so badly. Why wont she let me sleep peacefully? Without being so...terrified?

If a teacher or adult who knows what they're doing tells you to quiet down or perform an assignment DO IT. Don't argue, don't talk back, don't threaten to switch out of the class. Just respect those adults. They're helping you gain a free education, which kids in other countries don't have the opportunity to have. Please don't act up when a substitute tells you to do or not to do something. 
Adults, as much as you think you're right, have much more life experience than you. They do know what's wrong, so listen. Listen, or I will SMACK YOU.

I love the snow! I love all the things I can make out of the snow, do in the snow, and have an excuse not to do because of the snow. So really, December, if you don't mind letting our good cold friend back, I wouldn't mind. Michigan rarely has green Christmases, but we had one two years ago and I'm not sure we're going to make it to sticky snow this year. But that of course means that we'll have huge snowstorms in spring (which is bound to happen anyway) but it's still not as much fun as having it arrive on time for the season. Gr. 
Not to mention I have an Elf party to attend this Friday and I have to be in costume as my favorite character from the movie. I have NO CLUE what I'm going to wear. I'll just Goodwill the heck out of my costume and it will be fantastic! :)
