Um yay.
Why do I like my life? A Lot of the reasons.
I'm getting back into singing now and I"m singing basically half the day. First of all solo ensemble is next week so I'm crunching to learn and perfect my music like crazy. I really like my song and because i'm singing so much I feel like a good and skilled musician. It's a really hard song and it goes super high and it's silly and will let me act. Amanda says that she thinks I honestly have a chance at going to state. I'll come back to singing in a minute.
Valentines day was awesome. When Corey got to my house he gave me this little box of chocolates:
I made a treasure hunt for corey across gateway mall. I gave him a picture of a pirate themed item and he had to find this item, because next to it was another picture of another pirate themed item, and so on. While he was doing that, I was waiting at Olive Garden to get a table. The end of the treasure hunt lead him to Oliver Garden about an hour later. When he got there he gave me this huge box of chocolates:
We had a fantastic dinner and had tons of fun. A highlight was when I said something serious and Corey looked at me intensely and said "a piece of meat fell in my shoe." I couldn't stop laughing for quite a while. When we got to his car he gave me this chocolate rose:
We spent the rest of the evening together. When we got back to my house he said "I wanna show you something." And he opened his trunk. He pulled out this:
It's sooooo fuzzy and soft. I almost cried when he gave it to me because I couldn't believe how much he was giving me and how incredible he is.
Back to singing, yesterday Kimberly said to me "Ya know, Kella, Laryssa dropped out of Dorians... So there's a first soprano spot open." I had known this and had considered asking Kimberly about it but I hadn't made any progress at it. Amanda was there and got really excited and since then she keeps telling me that I HAVE to join dorians. I hung out during dorians today and kinda sang along to their song, without a mike so I could make mistakes without embarrassing myself. I'm really unfamiliar with jazz style and technique and have no idea what I'm doing but I liked it, especially when kimberly wanted me to sing along with the high notes because she says that's what she really needs, is a strong high first. I think I'm really getting a hang of singing straight tone, cause that's the main issue, and I'm learning music like crazy because there are like eight pieces they know and they have a performance in a week. omg. Joining dorians is a really big deal for me because I always wanted to and then I found out my voice was too classical and I kinda gave up. The same issue came up with musical theater. But now I feel like I"m learning to do both and classical and I think I suceed at musical theater and hopefully i'll succeed at jazz too. Tonight I actually feel like a good singer. That's kinda rare.
Now a days I"ll be singing before school for twenty minutes, some during 2nd maybe depending on how much work kimberly has for me, all of 3rd, all of 5th, and probably a large amount of 6th for the next week or so, plus after school for half an hour to an hour. That's a lot of singing. And this isn't just singing alongto stuff like I've been doing most of the time, although I take that more seriously than most people. This is focus on your tone and everything constantly. So much! Now I just have to get into a musical. Hmmm..
*sniffs* why do I smell yummy cookies? Hmm.. oh well. I need sleep. Essay tomorrow maybe? I don't know. seems like there is. hope not. Goodnight!
