Hey guys.
Today is January 31. I could say it's been boring since my last post (over a year ago! AHAHAH!), but I would be lying. I'm half way through my freshman year of high school, which I should have done last year, but didn't know I should have done it last year until about a month ago. School itself is quite boring, most of the time, but after school is great. I'm in the school play which is Friday- part of the reason I never get on the computer. We practice every day but Friday until 5:30, but on Friday I have Irish from 5:30 to 7:00, so it balances. I will be sure to post pics. I also will have new work to post this weekend. I'm working on a new painting, but I also have 5 tattoos and 15 face paints. The face paints are actually stage makeup for the play. We're doing a Midsummer Night's Dream, and I designed the makeup for the faeries, of which I am one. We have a great time.
In May I am going to start competing in Irish dance. I hope it will be fun.
Anyway, I got on to tell a little story to my good friends in Europe. I think you'll find it funny (especially Zan). So, my mum ordered dinner from this place called Sam's. It's really good, honestly. They have pizza, guyros, subs, and a few other things. Mum and I love guyros and rubens so I got the guyros and she got the ruben and we split them. So, the food gets here and we open everything up and start pulling out what's ours onto plates. I already have my half of the Ruben and guyros on my plate when I looked up and saw some fries left in the box. Without even thinking, I reached for them and said "ooo chips!" Mum, dad, Liz Anne, and her little friend thought it was hilarious. More so because I didn't get the joke.
Sometimes I wonder how Mum and I are so much alike. She is a total Francofile and I am a total Anglofile. The 2 countries have been historically known to hate eachother. Everybody at school seems to find it weird and cool just how very British I am. My accent is almost permanent now, and my vocabulary and grammar have been like that since before I left you guys. So, I just wanted to tell you that little story. Love you. E
