An Okay Day...

First, this is awesome. The perfect mix of Guitar Hero, soccer, and British accents.

So, what have I been up to?

• Listening to Alpha Dog by Fall Out Boy over and over again. Seriously, you should buy it.
• Trick or treat fest! Every year my school has the rooms decorated so little kids can dress up and get candy. It's fun, I get free food, and there are some really adorable kids there.
• Failing an AP Euro test. Blech.
• Searching for new music (as always). Suggest me something?
• Getting pumped for a football game Saturday night. For which, I have a wonderful idea. For those of you who haven't watched the video for Taylor Swift's You Belong With Me, click here. Since the game is on Halloween (so I should dress up), and I play clarinet like Taylor does in her video, I should try to look like her. Note the try. We'll see how that goes.
• Giving impromptu speeches, which is always fun. What I do, for those who don't know, is get a choice of three prompts, choose one, prep a speech in two minutes and then give it. It's much more fun than it sounds.

That's all I really have for right now. No exciting or ground-breaking ideas. Till next time,

Memoirs

I wonder now if "memoirs" was a good word choice.

So, hey Internet, I'm a geek. Not Star Trek, WoW, or comic book geek; speech, band, theatre and AP classes geek (though I am all for the occasional dose of Batman and Ultimate Spiderman comics). I'm writing just to write, to let the words flow to the page (or text box in this case) and to see if I'm at all interesting. Because it's hard to be unique on the internet, isn't it? You either have to be really stupid (eg. Greatest Freak Out Ever), really smart (eg. any video showing you how to make a hoverboard, and yes, there are videos like them. Let me google that for you), or really funny (I'm not even googling this for you, just go to Youtube). Unfortunately, I'm none of those things, so I'm just going to try my best.

So, a little bit about me (kind of important, I assume). My name is Kelly. I've been around for a little more than 16 years in the sometimes-exciting state of Illinois. Yes, Obama used to live here and yes, we were first out of the Olympic bid for 2016. As previously said, I'm on my schools speech team, in marching band, on tech crew for various productions, and in 3 AP classes this year.

Never said I was cool, now did I?

I will get more into those when they become relevant. Wait, one of them is. Marching band! Sounds like the dorkiest thing that you could ever do, but just hear me out. We're playing a game on Halloween. In spirit of this, we're playing two new pieces; Monster Mash and *drumroll* Thriller, by the late Michael Jackson. It's going to be interesting (not because this is also a playoff game too. That doesn't matter to me, I'm only in the band).

Getting off-topic; I like a lot of things, from reading to writing to video games to music to cooking to the internet to et cetera. That's probably not grammatically correct, but whatever.

Given that I should be studying for an AP Euro test, I should draw this post to a close. I'll update every now and then, telling you stuff that you might find interesting or just weird. Depends on your point of view.

Till next time, group of people who bothered finishing this post.
