Randomness Blog!!!

Hello!!!
If you had no idea what the last blog post was about, then just ignore it. My friend was feeling sad and Jackson Rathbone is her favorite actor from the Twilight movie.
I have been super busy lately mainly because:
I had standardized testing all this week at my school. I absolutely hate testing at my school. It is extremely tedious and boring.
Also because I had lacrosse practice a lot this week and I had many family matters this week and its getting very stressed and everything like that.
And (this part is really crazy) my brother is going to Korea (South) for Easter break. I am still surprised! So we have to get ready for all that stuff.
Reading Update:
I have finished This Lullaby and I am now reading The Sun Also Rises by Earnest Hemingway.
I am only in the second chapter. But it is pretty good so far.
Production for the New Blue Squid Project is going well and we will be staring further work on it soon.
So yeah...this post was pointless.
BAI BAI!!!

Blue Squid Productions

I know I said in my last post that I have been busy. I just wanted to inform everyone on what I have been up to.
What I've been working on almost everyday is a project with my friend Doug. Click on the link and you'll see his blog. We are currently working on a Christian Children's video series. He has launched a group called Blue Squid Productions. This project only consists of him and me right now but we are bringing on some new people soon. We are producing this Children's series to teach kids about God and His eternal plan for us. We both feel that the junk they play on television nowadays works mostly against the Bible, whether it be intentionally or just working with what is "in" or "funny." We want to instill in kids how God wants us to behave and act. Everything we do is for Him. That's the main mission for this project.
I can't disclose the title or anymore specific details about the show, because Doug wants to announce all of the information on his blog: http://www.doughanna.wordpress.com/, also linked above. Report there for any updates. I'll try to inform you on whats going on every now and then.
You can reach Doug at his blog or: bluesquidproductions@gmail.com

Like I said in my last post, I was working on my play all last week.
As for this week, I have had lacrosse practice for my school along with my weekly dance lessons at my local dance studio. Now that the play is over I have a little more free time but lacrosse has added more to my plate.

My New Year's resolution for 2009 was to read a book a month, totaling to 12 books this year. It does seem very easy and I could probably knock it all out over the summer if I wanted to. "If I wanted to" are the key word there. I have done four books so far. They were:
Multiple Blessings by Kate Gosselin and Beth Carson
No Promises in the Wind by Irene Hunt
the Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld.
I enjoyed all of them very much. I am now reading This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen. It is SO good so far and I recommend it to any teen aged girl. However, if yo are under the age of say...thirteen you shouldn't read it without parental consent (I sound so conservative in this post!).

Okay I'm going to stop rambling on about nothing.
Good-bye my cupcakes!

BUSY BUSY BUSY!

I am sorry I have not made a blog post in a very long time. And who am I apologizing to? No one will ever read this blog. I gotta remember to link to it on one of my videos on YouTube.
Any way the reason why I haven't made a post in a while is because I had my play last weekend. I was in the production of Annie at my school and tech week was brutal! I was planning make a blog post last week but I was way too busy.
The crazy thing is that I think someone posted to performance on YouTube. Which is illegal.
I haven't watched it yet so I don't what its like or anything.
I posted another video on my personal channel: www.youtube.com/joswhatsernameS2
its about my play and Sweeney Todd which is my new favorite movie! I am staring to get the feeling that I am obsessed with it. I talk about it all the time. And today I was reading Entertainment Weekly and I saw a picture of Johnny Depp and I FLIPPED!
Well enough of all that.
bye!!!
