Friends- you've gotta love 'em.

Another excessively cheery post from the pianist-flautist-writer about people who made me happy today.

Sidney W.- Overcoming her socialophobia, this cool girl gave me a hug this morning. :)
Mom- Carpooled for Marching Band, bought cookies, and remembered fund-raising equipment when I did not.
Andrew M.- Accompanied me and my freezing legs to school thru the wonderful 4th ward. And he cut his hair.
Spencer M.- Did a last-second audition before Marching Band, raced me in the HS halls, and pushed the vibes.
Taluthia R.- Was concerned for my health during lunch, supposedly because of the greasy pizza.
Caitlin B.- This wonderful gives me hugs, and makes me laugh EVERY day.
Carly D.- Pounded on the timpani like there was no tomorrow
Andrew H.- Was an awesome munja (midget-nun-ninja)
:)

Happy Day :)

There's been so much sadness going on lately (Sorry, McDonnell Family!), I wanted to be that little ray of sunshine that breaks through the rain on a cloudy day. (Don't get me wrong- I like rain)
Here's some things that made me happy recently:

• Random texts from a friend's (Jacob E.) cousin to another friend (Spencer M.)
• EVIL KITTIES :)
• Rainstorms
• Billy Joel
• Golf movies, or movies about golf
  
• Nate A.'s story about bunnies, Mr. Farnsworth and computer hackers
• Hotels in California
• The Temple
• Using cell phones as flashlights

Wierd, Quirky Fact

I just found out that Cinna and Portia, my two favorite characters from The Hunger Games, are also names of a few of conspirators in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar! Coincidence? I think not! Cinna and Portia have crucial roles in bringing down Caesar, and, in parallel, Cinna and Portia from The Hunger Games have crucial roles in bringing down the Capitol! I feel so happy!

Wonderful

I know you people don't like reading words- so here's a picture to sum up my feelings:Yes. I love Conference

Sweet Epicness

Yes, I have gone crazy with... HARRY POTTER FEVER!!!! Because the new movie is coming out in September, me and my friends have decided to make a Harry Potter Spoof Movie: Harry Potter and the Deathly Halls!!! YAY! Sorry, I am excited. I've loved the books since I was a little kid, and then I loved the movies (except for the 4th one- lame!), and I read the books whenever I'm not reading something else. So, check back for more updates on Harry Potter Awesomeness!
