I feel like I can't write 'drama!' or anything as a title 'cause I've used it so much as titles

I've been playing trumpet for about two years now and on Wednesday I am auditioning for the youth orchestra in our town.
We have to play a 2 minute classical piece.

So like, I went to trumpet today at like....9:30 or something and mr.pinkley (don't you just love that last name?! PINKley??!?! ahh!) gave me these 2 pieces to do and so yeah.
I have to practice like, allot before Wednesday and stuff...drama.
ahh! that would be so cool if I like, got in or whatever you call it. But If I didn't' then that would be like, dramatic 'cause its like all that hard work- rejected. ahh! drama!
But yeah, I want to get in. lol.

drama at starbucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

So my friend and I biked down to Starbucks yesterday. I was so happy to see grey sky's. (Ok that sounds strange but after like reallllllllly hot weather its good).

In our town we can walk to the QFC, Bartells etc. And in the summer my friend and I usually bike down and get ice cream at Marble Slab, which is like 2 seconds away from our neighborhood.

The dramatic part was in Starbucks, where I spilt my mocha ALL over my shirt AND scarf. As the coffee hit me, I jumped up. It took me a few seconds to process what just happened.

I ripped the black and white scarf that was now drizzled in coffee stains and shoved it into Dani's hands and I hurried to the bathroom to scrub the coffee out of my white top. I spent like, 2 minutes in the bathroom trying to get some of the stuff out. Sweat beads started to form on my face as I panicked about the stain that it may leave (lol). Thankfully, I was wearing a vest, where I was forced to button it up somewhat to cover the wet top. Dani knocked on the door and was like, "What happened?!"

This had all happened in like, 5 minutes.


Thankfully a guy who worked there cleaned up the spilt coffee so I didn't have to go back and be like, moping it up all mortified and stuff.


I chugged some of my mocha and Dani tried to get down as much smoothie as possible (Brain freeze!). We left like, 2 seconds later.

Shakily I fumbled with the bike lock, my eyes darting around the parking lot area, where some creepy guys were. drama. Dani groaned when she saw our wet bikes, but I just said, "Don't worry about it, it's your brothers bike" (her bike was like, not alive so she was stuck with her older brothers bike).
I was probably over-dramatizing and stuff but yeah.

We took the back way out of the small shopping center area (consisting of a dry cleaners, pizza place, QFC, Bartell Drugs, Starbucks and Blockbuster. Plus a few other random places but yeah) Which was through the large alleyway. Its like, really big and you can see straight though it so its like, yeah. "Just get on and ride" I said flatly, frustrated but trying to keep calm.

There were multiple parking spaces at the back of the building, most filled up.


UH-OH; creepy guy.


Dani and I (mostly me) petaled as harshly as our week souls would allow up the hill, hearts thumping into our rib cadge. Shakily we made our way back onto the edge of the road, where we would cross over into the side walk. I halted abruptly on my bike, but Dani practically crashed into me. drama.


Rain was spewing from the grey mask above our heads and onto our shaken, paper-white flesh.


Another hill.


Once we had crossed the road and were onto the sidewalk, I stopped, trying to re-group myself. "What just happened?" I questioned, referring to the Starbucks event.
Everything had happened so fast.


My legs carried my still shocked body (from the coffee incident then the creepy people) back to the neighborhood, where I fumbled in my pocket for the house key.

As I closed the door behind me I quickly changed, then doused my tank top with stain remover stuff.

It was like, totally dramatic.

Byron Glacier




Joshua Haley fighting her way back to land.



Today at 10:00 we (My aunt, Jacob Haley and I in one car, my brothers, grandparents and mom in another) headed up to Byron Glacier, which is like 1 hour away from where we are staying.

So the car ride there was long, but really pretty. Once we got more into the mountains it became slower. Because you have to drive on this thing alllllllllll the way around, with the ocean right in front of you. Which isn't bad.
The ocean was a really neat color...it was like a slate grey and almost a matte-metallic looking thing to it...idk if that makes any sense but yeah!

So once we arrived we went to the visitors center, trying to wait it out with some kinda educations thing on masks.

Then after presentation we went to the gift area and got........plastic ponchos. *shivers*

So we climbed back into the vehicles and drove up to where the trail was.

The trees were practically plastered to the earth and rain falling sideways, but we hiked. I had my camera under my..plastic poncho...and took a few pictures. (well like 50 but yeah). My grandpa was really nice in waiting for me to finish before moving on.
I didn't get as many as I would have liked because I didn't want to ruin my camera.

Once we got to the actual glacier I walked up the snow and my hat flew off my head!!! THANKFULLY my cousin Haley sprinted across the steep, snowy hill while I let out a scream and tried to make my way over. Oh good times.

We had to exit soon because my grandpa was afraid he'd get sick so yeah.

We were all completely drenched. My legs carried me involuntarily as I walked back. I got to have some of the glacier water, that was fresh out of the water. You just cup your hands and like, drink it. It was really good but petrifingly cold.
We ate lunch at some restaurant thing and yeah.
The ride back went by fast. And then I had to tell my cousin Haley goodbye because she is going to Florida tonight and will arrive at 7 in the morning.

OH YES if you can pray for her that would be good 'cus she is scared about flying all the way down to Florida by herself so umm yes!
OH yeah, and I had the Mabeline Super Stay Liquid Foundation on and it lasted the ENTIRE time. That is what I call, super stay.

A few days ago I went with the Fashion and Marketing class to Seattle!! It was totally amazing!! I saw Tiffany's!!!!! it was SO shiny!! there were some people by the door who opened it for you!!!

Then at this really, realllyyyy nice store Marios, they had Tom Ford, which I guess he used to work for Gucci or something then yeah and now he only sells his stuff in 4 stores in the country!! And that was one of them!! It was really cool.

Well anyways, I took some photos of the sides of buildings and stuff but I don't know if I like them better in black and white or color. What do you think?

OK EVERYONE

We need to think!!!!
What is 234,782 * 1/2 = x * 2?!?!!?!?

BRAIIN WAVESS...BRAIIN WAVEESS!!

cant think of any titles so um, yes.

Today when I pulled my trumpet out of it's case and began oiling the valves, the center one was like, cemented down! I couldn't pull the key out! It was so dramatic 'cause I didn't want to have to go over to the music store and have them fix my trumpet...again.
But my mom was able to pull the thing loose so it was all good. Until I started to play it.
It sounded all weird and out of key to me and I was like..meh.

So I think I want to try to play jazz. But I kinda switch my interests in what I like to play every month or so. Wait, nvm. I think I'll stick with classical.
LOL.

When we go up to Alaska next month I hope to be able to play a few tunezzz with my cousin, Haley. But I think that she may play jazz and I play classical so yush.
