Not Back To School Party #3

Well, I'm a day late again, but this time I have a good excuse.   After the party, we stayed at some friends in Derwent.   At the party, a friend and I sang songs like "Blow the Man Down" and such like.

Not Back To School Party #2

Well I'm a day late, but that's because I was so tired out after this party that I just went home and went to bed.   The party was quite enjoyable.   Also, one of the families that was at the last party was at this one,   o we talked a bit about the "movie".   There was also a girl there who is in my Latin online class, so we had a bit to talk about as well.

Not Back To School Party #1

This is the first post in my three day posting spree. It is also the first NOT Back To School Party out of three. This is not in fact a coincidence. I will dedicate one post per day to each of the three parties. And now, what I did today. Some people will, when asked, "What did you do today?" give a very boring answer like, "I got up, had breakfast, went to school, got home, had supper, did homework, went to bed." However, I am not one of these people. What I did today was:

1. got up
2. had breakfast
3. went to the corn maze (It was a-maize-ing)
4. had supper at a friends house
5. went to a NOT Back To School Party
6. starred as a doctor in a tiny movie making fun of TV shows like House or any other hospital drama. I can't tell you about it because it is eventually going to be on youtube. I will, however, post the link when it's up.
7. went home
8. posted this
9. went to bed exhausted

Jackie Evancho

And now #3 Why I liked Jackie
To answer this all I have to do his say watch this:

America's Got Talent

Although I'm a little late to be writing this (the finale was yesterday night) I decided that since it's better late than never I would write down 1) Who I wanted to win. 2) the results. and 3) What I thought about the person I wanted to win.

Starting with #1 Who I wanted to win out of the Final Four (Jackie Evancho, Prince Poppycock, Michael Grimm, and Fighting Gravity.)

I personally wanted Jackie Evancho to win because she has, out of any person I've heard to this day, the most beautiful voice ever.

#2 Results.

In 4th place was Prince Poppycock

In 3rd place was Fighting Gravity

In 2nd place Jackie Evancho (a very big surprise for everyone)

In 1st place surprising even himself Michael Grimm


Number 3 will be answered in my next post

As you can see, I've redone the decorations for the blog. As you can't see, I just got back from my first EMT (Edmonton Musical Theatre) class. It was really fun and enjoyable.

A Ballad of Suicide

This is probably the only poem around about not commiting suicide.

A Ballad of Suicide

by G.K Chesterton


The gallows in my garden, people say,

Is new and neat and adequately tall;
I tie the noose on in a knowing way

As one that knots his necktie for a ball;
But just as all the neighbours-on the wall-
Are drawing a long breath to shout "Hurray!"

The strangest whim has seized me.... After all
I think I will not hang myself to-day.
To-morrow is the time I get my pay-

My uncle's sword is hanging in the hall-
I see a little cloud all pink and grey-

Perhaps the rector's mother will not call- I fancy that I heard from Mr. Gall
That mushrooms could be cooked another way-

I never read the works of Juvenal-
I think I will not hang myself to-day.
The world will have another washing-day;

The decadents decay; the pedants pall;
And H.G. Wells has found that children play,

And Bernard Shaw discovered that they squall,
Rationalists are growing rational-
And through thick woods one finds a stream astray

So secret that the very sky seems small-
I think I will not hang myself to-day.

ENVOI
Prince, I can hear the trumpet of Germinal,
The tumbrils toiling up the terrible way;

Even to-day your royal head may fall,
I think I will not hang myself to-day
