Yay! Thanksgiving rocks!
Didn't even have to cook, just got the whole meal from a Whole Foods and stuck it on the stove.
No, we aren't lazy...

And we got these amazing pies, a vegan Pumpkin pie (YUM), an organic apple pie, and a blueberry pie.

THey are so good.

And my Grandma is here!!!!!!!!!!! All the way from NY, for two week!!! I am so psyched, I love this lady so much.
And she will be here for Clara's Dream!!! (aka, the nutcracker)

And I actually don't mind my parts this year! Though it would have been better if I would have gotten the parts I DESERVED, Snow Queen, Arabian, and Flowers... What I have now, Flowers, Snowflake, Dragon, and Merliton... Its alright.
I have a kick-ass, rock awesome, so much fun solo in the finale, which I am so excited about... It is amazing.
And I have a pretty good, thought not as much fun solo in Merlitons.
And Snow is fun, but hard.... And Flowers is awful because suddenly I have absolutely no stamina to get through it, and my costume is so tight, I feel like I am hypervntelating because I cannot take a full breath.
And Dragon is ok. Fun, but it is only like, a one minute variation, so I basically go on, and off.

BUT, what makes it fun, is that I have.... 4? 5? quick changes. I have snow, and than I have actually, a good 10 minutes to change into Dragon. Thats alright. Than I have ONE variation, Arabian, about 4 minutes long, to change into Merlitons. That involves: Taking off my dragon pants, and the HUGE paper machie head, that is going to mess up my hair so badly, so I will have to bobby pin and spray it down, take off my leo, climb into the huge tent of fabric that is the Merls costume, and have someone hook me up while I attempt to attach a cocky little hat with a bird onto my head, than I will run and rosin up my shoes, and sprint onstage.

Than after merls, I have ONE variation, Polis, to run offstage, strip, get into the tent that is the flowers costume, pull the hat (carefully!!!) out of my hair, repin my hair back smooth, have someone hook me up, re-rosin my shoes, and have someone pin a huge flower into my hair, to run all the way up and down the stage to be the first person to enter for flowers. Flowers is just damn hard.

Than after flowers, I have to run backstage again, strip AGAIN, take out the flower in my hair, put that annoying hat back on, get into my Merls costume, and have someone hook me up again so I can go on for finale. And do my amazing solo~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Make me so happy.

Oh, yea, and I forgot to mention, I have to do this at least two, maybe three times a day for three days in a row, for the performances. On top of school, a Chem test, actually DOING the pieces, and I have a stupid, like, 16 seconds to run around the stage in snow to get to my spot in time at one point, smile, look happy, not twist my ankle, kick my leg up to my ear, point my feet, strech my legs, hold my arms up, hold my ankles strong, hold myself up so I can actually go on pointe, keep my eyes open with these huge eyelashes on, hope my (fake) bun stays in place because I don't have enough hair to make my own bun.... Ha ha, I can't wait!!!!

And ALL MY FRIENDS ARE COMING TO SEE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so psyched! I cannot wait.

I left my school  bag in Ritz's car, so I really had a feeling that I haven't had in so long, i had NOTHING to do. If only it were a full moon, I would have gone on a nice hack on Skittles. I mean, sure I could have practiced violin, or cleaned my room, but instead I watched some murder mystery...the murder part wasn't scary at all, but there was a 13 year old that taught a college chemistry class. That truly scared me. Guys, she turned out to be a killer...OMG.....think about it, child prodigies, turn out to be killers. What if they think they are child prodigies? We should possibly be afraid for our lives. I think the dream team is the first on the girls hit list.

 Anyway, I ate a meal without scarfing it down to get all my homework done it time, which was just an amazing feeling. Then I dug out a bottle of sparking grape juice out of the fridge, not bothering to pour a glass, I rambled about the house with a bottle in one hand, like a wino, minus the real booze 

And then I played a three hour game of chess with Widgit, who forced me to draw because she was tired of playing catch me if you can. So now it is 2:30, and I am on xanga. Ah yes, the holidays have truly started.  

Cheers to you all,

Jude
