im quirky

alrighty..i got tagged for quirks..so here i go

1. i hate feet. i know what youre thinking..everyone hates feet! thats not new! no i dont mind when i touch other people's feet, but when people touch me with their feet, i want to chop their feet off. i just dont like it.
2. i have a hard time with eye contact only when i am telling a long story to people. i keep very good eye contact while other people are talking, but when i say something important back, i just cant look at them in the eye.
3. im 17 and i dont have my drivers license yet.
4. when i eat a reeses peanut butter cup, i eat all the chocolate first, then i roll the peanut butter into a ball and eat it little by little.
5. i am deathly afraid of werewolves. yet i love dogs....
6. from age 0 to 10 i was extremely girly and i would wear nothing but dresses. from ages 10 to 15 i was a tomboy and i would never wear dresses in exception to church.

remembering and understanding

i was ten during 9/11, and i remember every minute of that day. i was in 5th grade and i remember getting up for school and the tv was on and i saw the towers on fire. i didnt quite understand what was going on and the seriousness of it. i remember that i was having friend problems an i wanted to fit in with the popular girls, and that was all that was important to me at the time. then i remember going to school and watching the news most of the day. i remember my teacher crying and other teachers coming in the classroom in tears. i saw the clip of the towers falling so many times and it still get into my head what it meant. people explained it to me but i still didnt understand. i remember that the next day when we delivered the paper there was a big picture of the burning towers and my mom crying. i remember my teacher making us write papers on what happened and draw pictures and my picture was chosen to be published in this school paper about the events. with all that happened i didnt understand, i still dont fully understand. i dont think anyone does. i remember the thoughts and feelings that i felt after they had a more concrete number of deaths. i remember feeling sad and guilty and feeling i'd never understand the feelings going through those peoples families. i remember.. i'll always remember

grease is the word!

alrighty, small little update in the life of maida.
i've been a tad stressed lately, cuz of school and shakespeare and grease and seeing bryson once a week when i used to see him almost every other day and my two very good friends are going out so i've been the third wheel for some time.. but putting that aside, life is good.
so for my theater class we're doing Richard III for our ensemble scene and we're doing it in a 40's/nazi theme. it's really cool!! and it's kinda funny because i'm taking an american problems class and our first simulation is about totalitarian society.. so fun filled months ahead for me! and then also in my theater class we've got our individual scenes, and i'm doing a scene from Richard..again..(i did a scene from Richard last year too. and then thats our ensemble scene too..i guess i was meant to do this play..), and i'll be playing Queen Margaret. it's some intense stuff in our scene! i'm really excited! we might even go down to cedar city to compete :D
i am also in the fall musical. grease!! even though i'm not a fan of the story and the play itself, this show is SO much fun to be apart of! and i'll be playing the very first LuLu the pink lady!! Ati, my drama teacher, decided to add a new pink lady and i have the privilege of playing her! MY FIRST LEAD IN A MUSICAL!! its been such a blast! we're performing in november, fyi. i'll give more details when its closer.

i'm a princess too!

You Are Jasmine!
