Whaaaa...?

Another week and it would have been another MONTH!!! What is going on, M2A?
Just lately, I feel like I have no time to do stuff.
Which isn't true, I have tons of time.
I guess it's a phsycological thing.
Anyways, it definitely isn't homework. Nu-uh. I feel like I'm not getting enough of THAT stuff.
As I said: it's probably a phsycological thing.
Anyways, last time did I talk about the oncoming choir and band camp?
I hope so.
Anyways, so I went. Most of the time I played with the band (because the band is accompanying the choir on some songs and playing in the band is my priority), but I sang with the choir a few times. It was fun. There was this random point where they gave us a duet type of thing and nobody wanted to play the first (hard) part except for me. It was fun. On the first night we watched "The Sapphires" and on the second night we had this thing called "Red Faces".
"Red Faces" is basically a talent show. At first I didn't really think of competing, but then they showed us the prizes:
1st: A WHOLE JAR of Jelly Bellies.
2nd: 60 lollipops.
3rd: 40 lollipops.
That got me going. So I competed with the only thing that I could totally do out of improvisation and without much practice: animal noises.
Now, I know it might sound totally weird, and it might sound like a failure, but it wasn't.
I made up a story about a puppy who didn't know how to bark. So he took a little walk to try and find out and on his way he met a horse, cat, bird, duck, pig, and goat. The story ended with a mountain lion attacking him and a dog saving him. When I signed up I totally thought "Oh, this is going to be so bad."
When I got up on stage and gave the show's name ("The Puppy") I started feeling confident (from the resounding and completely immature "Awww!" that came from the audience).
Through the middle, I felt pretty good.
By the end, I was feeling awesome.
It was SO much fun just doing all my animal noises and creeping people out/ surprising them.
I got third place (along with a girl who did a singing solo- which, in my honest opinion, did not sound good AT ALL- and a group of- I think- dancers), and 8 lollipops.
The group that got first place didn't completely deserve it because they messed up the first time they sang, recieved thorough advice from the teachers, and on top of that got extra time to practice and a second chance at performing.
The group that got second should have come first. It was so epic!!!
After the show, everyone came up to me, asked to hear a noise, and then told me I should've gotten first place.
I still get requests all the time for a certain animal noise.
I love it.
Anyways, after that I went back to school. I said a speech about how annoying sisters are (receiving supreme admiration from the teacher, but not first place- I was actually beaten by another girl who talked about siblings), offered my sisters a lollipop each if they could keep from crying for a day (they both failed), and went to the Moomba Festival.
The Moomba Festival was really fun. The only reason that I even realized it existed was because one of my friends was in it (I waved to her while she passed, and she saw me- the next day she came into the class yelling that everyone has to say thank you to me for coming), but it was really cool. My favorite part was this egyptian jambox thing.
At the front and back went two women with wings like this:

This one was the one at the back.
I'm jealous. I want those wings.
But that wasn't the best part: the best part was the sphinx.
Why? Because the sphinx had headphones, glasses, and an ipod. Not to mention that when you could see its side it was a jambox. It was blue and gold. It was awesome. I can't find a picture of it, but it was awesome. Whoever thought of it was a genius.
Anyways, after the fesival we went and had lunch out.
Last Sunday we went to a Fete at my old school. I got to meet all my friends, get a new book (it is SO good for drawing stuff!!), and go on some rides. It was super fun!
Last was yesterday, where I went to my first soccer practice. I had fun, and hope that I stay in that mood throughout the season (last season I got a bit low on spirits). It was nice just kicking a ball around and passing it to someone again (and I even shot and scored a few times).
Anyways, this weekend I kind of just went through a little folder of art that's on loose paper. I'll just go in random order:

This is the first horse I tried drawing after I saw CMM's (CinnamonMewMew's) style of drawing. It has seriously affected my own drawing, and it was a very important stage in my horse-drawing life.

That first one I messed up, so I tried again and (with a minor mistake on the cheek) finally got it to my liking. For some reason, I REALLY like the eyes, but I don't draw them like that anymore.

This was how I drew horses before. I remember being SO proud when I drew this. In a few years, I'll remember one f my drawings that I drew today or something, and I'll think "Wow, this is so bad. Look at them now!"

This was my first shaded thing EVER. I was so proud, but when I tried showing it to Dad he went "Yeah, yeah" and kind of didn't pay attention (I don't remember what he was doing).

Then I did this. My art teacher told me it was too small on such a big page, but I think it looks cool, all alone there.

(loo up) That summer... wait. The summer before (it was the 2010 world cup...). I drew this from a newspaper, when Spain went to the finals. Personally, the facial expressions are pretty scary. The guy at the front looks something like Smeagle in his Hobbit form, and the other guys' mouths are just plain wrong.
This is a Black Beauty that I drew from the cover of a book. Not bad.

This was the cover I was looking at. The horse there looks good- natured.

Remember Abby the Kitty? Well, she has some buddies:

(up) Boris the Horse (my attempt at a cartoon horse)...
and Tom the Dog (should have made it Doug the Dog). Abby is probably my favorite, but I absolutely love the dog. It's awesome (it's the tongue and the tennis ball, I think).

I also drew this cat, which I kind of ended up rejecting. I like its tail, though.

From the same time period I have Perry, which I actually drew in honor of one of my friends....

And this horse. That was kind of like my golden age of (MAYBE not-so-realistic but still very productive) drawing. I was jealous because in my art school I wasn't part of the visual arts, and that was actually one of the things I wanted to get into as well as in language arts and band. I wanted to be a visual art kid, so I just kind of made up for the loss by drawing stuff. A LOT of stuff.

The last article of art that I have is a self portrait that I did when I was maybe 8, 9, or 10. I don't remember when. What I do know is that I drew myself in my favorite "watermelon dress" and that I didn't think of myself as particularly pretty.
I'm thinking of doing another self portrait. I should. Maybe I'll get productive and do it sometime.
I also actually have another self portrait that I did in school. It actually won an award and was hung in the library. It's hanging in our house right now, but I think this one right here is better, I guess because it is the tiniest bit realistic, but whatever.
Onto the random picture!

I'm starting softies in design tech and was thinking about a cute unicorn- we'll see!
