so i haven't been excatly myself lately and there really is a good reason for that.  so... here it goes....  i know that i got a solo just b/c i was g2 on the drill for guard, and i know that's not even fair that a sophmore got it over upper classman and especailly not fair to the one who taught me everything and got me hooked on sabre's.  im sorry for everything that's happened but i promise i wont let u guys down.

i decided something last nite...  there r some things in life that r just worth fighting for.  so this part is for chelsey.  i understand that nothing seems to be going all right in your life, and im sorry for anything i've ever done that hurt u.  your my sister and just like megan, u can't get rid of me.  i'm always gonna b here for u and no one will ever change that.  i hope that u can get through your rough time and i especially hope that i can help.  but until then, just know no matter what u do or what happens, no matter how hard u try to get rid of me, im here to stay and im here for ya!  your the best!

   today is the dance recital!!  im very excited!  im doin a duet w/ my very best friend, chelsey.  u r probably thinkin, y is she your "very best friend"  and here's my story of y.  yesterday, i got in one of my very first fights w/ anybody and it was w/ chelsey.  the whole thing was just a big misunderstanding, but we were both in tears.  when it was our turn to do the dance for the dress rehersal, she was cryin and i had this "im angry at the world" look on my face.  i had never been so angry at anyone, ever.  but, it took some time, and me sittin there thinkin, most of my anger isn't at chelsey, and that poor girl is gettin all of my frusteration.  one thing that u must understand is that i don't open up.  to some ppl, this is one of my faults, to me, it's who i am.  ((if u dont know me very well....  here's exibit a.))  if u go back and read through this, like i did, you'll notice that i meantioned nowhere about what i was angry about, y me and chelsey were fighting, or what i was really thinking.  i know that this entry isn't all that interesting, but to me, this is just something i can use to collect my faults, and have some of my friends, ((if u even read these))  talk to me, b/c i LOVE to talk about "the little things" and never all that important of stuff.  anywho, this whole thing was so that i could tell ppl what a great friend chelsey is and will b and that im tryin to work on my faults to make myself a better person.  later.

love,    me

me and sundy finished up our dance for the recital last nite!  5 hours of dancin w/ sabers, makes any hands get sore.  poor chelsey's hands were all bruised b/c she got a bad saber.  i felt really bad when i saw them. i got off easy w/ just a few cuts.  in case u dont know what a saber is, its a sword only these have a little cushion thingy around it so u dont really get hurt when u catch them.  it's gonna look awesome!!  i highly recommend that everyone comes to c everyone's dances on MAY 1  i got 2 c a few and they r defiently worth seein. 

on the topic of dancin, labor day weekend is the Dance Connection recital.  im gonna b in the opening along w/ Ben LaSourd (sry, im not sure how u spell your last name) and meg and a lot of other dance teachers.  im in a duet w/ breanna.  well, thats all for now....  ttyl
