The country song is "Boots On" by Randy Houser.
The pop song is "Party in the U.S.A." by Miley Cyrus.
IT'S STUCK IN MY HEAD.
"I got my hands up, they're playing my song. I know I'm gonna be okay. Yeah, it's a party in the USA!"
P. S. DK's the best. :]

Country and Pop...HAHA!
Ahh...sometimes I just have to laugh at myself...I just bought a country song and then a pop song, the contrast between the two playing is SO different, makes me crack up...
So anyway, I've decided that I wanna learn how to play a brass instrument, really badly. I brought it up with my parents last night, but they basically said no. I got SO mad. My mom can't understand why I want to learn a brass instrument and my dad says that if I'm gonna learn any new instrument it should be another woodwind instrument so I can "expand my repertoire". So then I said, isn't learning a brass instrument expanding my repertoire? And he mentioned something that if I wanna ever perform professionally it'd be better if I knew all woodwinds, and I said I would most likely become a high school band teacher, and he said that I'd learn brass in college and I don't have to worry about it now.
???
Worry? I'm not worried, this is something I WANT to do...
So those two songs this morning are my cheery-uppers. ;D
But you can't guess what the two songs are...

Random Cake?
There's this random cake in the top left corner by the blogger logo when I log in...is it someone's birthday? Oh well.
Tonight was SO much fun!!!! Ok, so we're all sitting at the table eating dinner and then mom and dad had to go to their meeting and so it was just us three kids at home eating dinner...and listening to "In the Heights". OH YEAH. So I start going crazy at dinner, doing hair flips and all that fun stuff, and we clear the dishes and then me and Sanya just go INSANE and dance around the ENTIRE HOUSE. It was at that part on the CD where it was crazy fast 6 minute songs and it was just so much FUN. We were jumping up and down and I was picking her up and swinging her around and we were doing the SILLIEST things but it was SO MUCH FUN.
Ahhh...well, I gotta go finish my LINCs cards now, but guess what?!??!?! I FOUND OUT HOW TO GET SIRIUS RADIO ON THE INTERNET. It's only free for seven days, but it's so cool to listen to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
Happy night for me!

QUOTES!!!
So in English class we're writing a personal essay called "This I Believe" and some of the stuff she had us look at to get inspired were quotes, and I LOVE quotes. We got this big packet so I'll post some of my favorites. :]
The greatest and most important problems in life are all in a certain sense insoluble. They cna never be solved, but only outgrown. -Carl Jung
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts...take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature. -Marcus Aurelius
The life given us by nature is short, but the memory of a life well spent is eternity. -Cicero
The love we give away is the only love we keep. -Elbert Hubbard
The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it is the same problem you had last year. -John Foster Dulles
The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the earth. -Chinese Proverb
The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have. -Norman Vincent Peale
If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything. -John Wooden
I don't wait for moods. You accomplish nothing if you do that. Your mind must know it has got to get down to earth. -Pearl Buck
A man may make mistakes, but he isn't a failure until he starts blaming someone else.
Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.
Talent is God given; be humble.
Fame is man given; be thankful.
Conceit is self-given; be careful.
Learn as if you were to live forever. Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
I've learned that if osmoene says something unkind about me, I must live so that no one will believe it.
I've learned that there are people who love you dearly but just don't know how to show it.

Apostrophe of Apostrophes
Wait...is apostrophes a word? Is it apostrophe's? Or it is just apostrophe as the singular and plural? Oh well...ANYWAY.
So yesterday was my apostrophe of all apostrophes day. It was so GOOD. DK came over after church (which took my sister forever to figure out...it was hysterical, eventually she just believed me when I said he was flying over on his magic broomstick ;D), we played a game of Life (he won, I should REALLY stop letting him win this much... :P), and then we went out for a walk.
Yesterday was GORGEOUS. The weather was like PERFECT. A little more wind would have been cool (HAHA, get it? ;D) but it was all good. We walked the HUGE loop ("So how long is it?"/...this long." HAHA), and then we sat on the swings and just TALKED (and swang...of course). How long were we out there? Like 2 1/2 hours? So probably on the swings for like two hours or maybe a little less. But it was good, REALLY good.
Haha, we were walking and I said something like, "I expected you to have a spreadsheet" and at the same exact time I said that he pulls a piece of paper out of his pocket, I CRACKED UP.
So...yeah, really great day, lots of thinking, lots of apostrophes, lots of good stuff.

MLIA
JUST discovered MyLifeIsAverage!!!!!!!! Best website EVA. I read these when I'm upset/bored/happy...whenever! I read them a lot. :]
Time to post my favorites...
Today, I had to turn a paper in for science. When I turned it in to my teacher, he asked where the appendix of my paper was. I said that my paper was sick a few years ago and had to get it removed. He gave me an A-. MLIA
Today, my friend and I were watching the President's address on youtube. When it got towards the end, my friend let out a huge sneeze. The President looked out to the audience and said "God bless you." Behold the power of Obama. MLIA
Today in order to make my math teacher look good she taught us a trick that when the principal walks in and she asks a question if we know the answer we raise our right hand and if we don't know the answer we raise our left hand. No wonder administrators think Honors classes are smart. MLIA
Today, I got in trouble for calling my little brother a moron. When he asked what a moron was, I told him it was someone who didn't wear enough clothes and needed to put "more on". He proceeded to take off his pants and run around screaming "I'm a moron". I love my brother. MLIA
Today, I had a one question test. The second part of a question said "defend your answer". A kid in my class got full credit because he drew 300 spartans around the first part of his answer. MLIA.
Today, in English class a kid fell asleep. Within the next 2 minutes my entire class was standing outside in the hall, the lights in the class were turned out and the clock in the room was changed to 7:00 o'clock. The kid woke up and freaked out. This was my most productive English class ever. MLIA
Today I gave a telemarketers phone number to another telemarketer. I feel like I've brought some justice to the universe. MLIA
Today, my parents informed me that from age 3 to 4, I would only respond to the name Peter Pan. I was a lot cooler for that one year. MLIA
Today, I asked my youngest brother what he wanted to be when he grew up. He said he wanted to be a snowman. I support him 100%. MLIA.
Today, I took my sister to a park so she could run her 5K. The guy in charge told the people to feel free to shout something when the starting gun went off (i.e. "Freedom", "Charge" etc.). One boy pumped his fist in the air and shouted, "FOR NARNIA!". It made my Labor Day Weekend. MLIA.
Today, my girlfriend and I went on a love-checker site. We entered our names and got an 85%, and our friend's names got a 45%. Then we entered Simba and Nala, and they got a 100%. I'm glad this site knows true love when it sees it. MLIA.
Today, I took a dose of medicine. After taking it I realized I was supposed to shake it first and I immediately started to worry. I then proceeded to dance and shake my stomach. I felt much better. MLIA
