Mary-Kathryn the Hedgehog

So as with the interesting name of this entry, there are some interesting things going on right now. Well maybe not interesting, but my life kind of things. I've been taking violin again for about a month and a half now and I've got to say that I really like my teacher, she's so nice and a very adequate instructor. I think I'm doing well, we picked up on the Suzuki method book two, even though before I was learning off of Essential Elements. Suzuki moves much faster than my old books did, I was at the end of book two in Essential Elements where I'm barely a fourth through in Suzuki.

Also in my personal life, I got a hair cut. Not extremely interesting but its really short and now Jackie refers to me as a hedgehog. She says I look cute when your not looking straight at me but then you see my face and its the "Mary-Kate is not amused" face. Yeah, so everyone has been telling me I'm adorable.... I'M NOT ADORABLE!!!!!!! puppies are adorable, babies are adorable, those little tiny madame alexanders you get in happy meals are adorable, I AM NOT ADORABLE! Its annoying.....

Anyways I'm boring. How are you?

OH! ps. I actually wrote a fan fiction! No smut or pairings (well subtext and very little of it), just well thought out decent writing that just happens to involve Sherlock.... Its well planned out and I'm very proud.

Jackies new hair

Sorry, bad lighting but its an almost orange blond

hello.

Well yes I know it has been a while since my last post but nothing exactly interesting has happened lately. I got my ticket to Ireland, started with the new violin teacher, Jackie is now a blond, and its spring break. Also we had an extremely annoying amount of tests that were, for lack of a better word, pointless last week.

That's about it, my life is dull.

review

Well the Oscars were last Sunday and for me that was just an overall weird day. Most of it was exactly how every Sunday is for me, I sit around and watch boring tv and pluck at either the violin or the guitar. Mom spent the whole day with her friends because she actually has a life. I don't. But then she decided to kidnap me and drag me to David and Philip's house so I could watch them and Catherine and random people from Savio that I don't know play D&D. Not my idea of fun.

But then after everyone left it was my turn, so I made the boys watch the oscars and defeated David's iPhone app twice. SO! I don't really feel like doing an oscar recap because I think award shows are relatively boring but I will say I'm glad Christopher Plummer won Best Supporting actor, he's one of the few people I respect as artists in the entertainment industry (you know what I mean, get your mind out of the gutter....).

Rest of the week was lame, blah blah,blah.... my mother had her spinal injection on friday, I've been living one purely caffeine and little bits of protein when I feel faint this week because no one is there to force me to eat (Jackie was away, this is normally her job)

I saw Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy today, I thought it was fairly good and pretty basic. But I was informed when I exited the theater that I was the only person there that understood the whole thing. Everyone else was trying to figure out innuendos and what was going on with Benedict Cumberbatch's hair, and the point of Colin Firth's existence, and why the man with the large nose is always in movies that mention witch craft, and picking out the wrong perpetrator, and trying to understand why everyone was switching between Russian, Hungarian, and English. The majority missed the entire plot line.... basically revenge and justice.

VASE

Well VASE was yesterday and I think it went fairly well even if I wasn't there for most of it and wouldn't let my family come see my piece. Porsche went with me though, I trust her, I don't trust many people but I trust her. Also Jackie was participating in VASE. When I went into judging in the morning I was really nervous but I calmed down as soon as I started talking, I had to explain to the judge that it wasn't just me letting my creativity run wild but all it had underlying meanings and tons of psychology references and story references and anomalies and subtext, lots of subtext. So I think I may have confused her but she got the point of the amount of thought and work I had put into the piece and said my attention to detail was almost impeccable, I just needed to work on my values. But I got a 4 so that meant my piece got into the showcase, which is really good. So after I did my presentation, we all went to Jackie's house and watched Sherlock season 2. Long story short, we have 6 minutes left in season two that hasn't been seen yet. So all was well and I got a tie at a garage sale. So then at about 3 we went back to the school and they announced who made it to state and I didn't make it but Jackie did, I was really proud of her, she didn't care that she made it but told me I needed to go with her because it was going to be boring. Fantastic.

Then finally grandma picked Porsche and I up from Jackie's house and we took Porsche home and then Grandma and I watched the old sherlock holmes movies with Basil Rathbone. I fell asleep halfway through the first one and then I couldn't go to sleep at the proper time because my mother kept texting me. I can't wait till I get to Ireland, I need time away from that woman and I cannot wait to leave.

Today was boring. I watched League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and the Oscars are on tonight. I'm really just watching them to get a glimpse of Benedict Cumberbatch. I am crazy.

nervous...

Well its 10:06, I have to get up tomorrow at 6 am to get ready for VASE and I'm so nervous, I'll need 3 cups of coffee, an energy drink, and Porsche will probably make me eat so I won't have a spazz attack in front of the judges tomorrow. That tends to happen now and again because I never ever eat before a presentation and I overdo the caffeine because I'm always so freaking nervous. Also I can't go to sleep because I'm waiting for Porsche to get here! It's kinda bugging me. I had a complete panic attack today in World Geography and didn't get over it until half way through the next period, then I got angry and had to break a few pencils and draw indonesian masks in art class because I didn't think my VASE painting was good enough so I freaked out before I did my touch ups, and then I came home and had yet ANOTHER anxiety attack so I played the violin for an hour and a half to calm myself down..... so yeah, really nervous.

On a lighter note, I got almost all A's on my report card so thats $120 towards Ireland, I'm setting up a checking account on the first.

I have a feeling....

I keep thinking something dramatically horrible is going to happen, I keep have a sort of premonition. Its weird and sometimes I believe I'm just paranoid or being negative but its always there, in the back of my mind. I keep thinking something huge is going to happen, something that will change my life. And I have no idea about what.

Its late, ignore me, but I had to write it out.
