"Skills."

Here's a shoutout to my lovely brother! For the last two hours I have been belting a particular broadway song (I'm sure you can guess what it is), sometimes doing this crazy awesome (NOT!) thing on the highest note where I hit the note for a split second, then slip and hit about eighteen even higher notes all at the same time. From more than 100 feet away, through several walls, my darling brother shouted, every time, "Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice!" as I crumpled to the floor in laughter at my delightfully ear-splitting feat. Back to the point. I've been singing the same song for two hours. LOUDLY. So loudly that my brother had to close his door on the other side of the house to hear through his headphones properly. And he didn't complain :) So I'm pretty happy. I can hit the highest note about half the time without performing my magical feat, so that's just fine by me. Now to figure out where on earth I can use my ability to sing this song...perhaps I shall run away and join the theatre ;)

That's all for now. I hope your weekend has been lovely lovely :)

Snow on My Parade: February Edition

Not a moment has passed all day during which snow was not falling. All day, flakes have been falling, falling, falling to the ground. Consequently, the ground is even more covered in snow than before. My plans for the day, too, fell to the ground in a heap of white fluff. The roads were covered, so no fun outings for me.

I made dinner though :)
This is my apron. Be. Jealous.
(I know it's sideways, but I simply have no motivation to spend the next ten minutes trying to fix all of blogger's glitches just so a few people don't have to tilt their head for a second.)
I tried to be creative with my food today. :)
Nothing much has been accomplished today, unfortunately. My piano music sat untouched:
(I found the sheet music. Yeah, I'm pretty excited too)
I want to hear about your guys' weeks!! Tell me, tell me!

Snow. Awkwardness. Awesomeness. Les Miserables.

There is snow! Much snow. On the ground. FYI. It's all over the place in funny little drifts...we got a good five or six inches last night :O
Awkward and Awesome Thursday has showed its little face once more. However, I haven't even left the house since Sunday, so very little has happened. With that in mind...

Awkward:
-An inside joke with one of my buddies at school. Every time I wear pants to school (as opposed to my usual skirt), he SHOUTS in the school hallway, "Hannah! You're wearing pants!"
-Discovering that not only ladies read this blog after posting a little TMI about working out. oooops.
-When guys ask me why I've been wearing pants so much lately. I was NOT expecting it at all.
-Saying something impulsively and then realizing five seconds later it was completely untrue. (Example...Friend: "I HATE driving at night!" Me: "Ugh! Me too!" and then I remember I actually really love driving at night)

Awesome:
-Sugar. I can have it! It makes me happy happy :)
-My newfound love of soup :) 
-This song from Les Miserables: 
It is fabulousness itself! And just what I have been wanting to work on with my voice. The sheet music sits at my piano right now, just waiting for me. It is the most depressing song ever, but I am absolutely obsessed with it.
-The fact that I'm writing a persuasive essay for college on why everyone should wear purple.

So...no pictures or anything today. I'm enjoying my last moments of laze before I have to tackle my homework. Shhhhhhhh...don't remind me!

Piano



Cardi: My mom 
 Skirt:Thrifted 
 Scarf: Kaity

Hello blogger buddies! Today has been full of homework, homework, and did I mention homework? I had two sections in PreCalculus, preparations for a French test, FIFTY PAGES of English textbook to read (still not through with that one...), and a few other things I can't remember at the moment that I probably haven't even gotten to. I have devoted my most recent little block of time to taking pictures, etc. I only have a few more minutes before it's back to conquering the last 25 pages of English and doing my journal entry and analyzing the essay and saying my French words and remembering that I forgot to do PE today! BLARGH!
Okay, I'm fine now. Really, I am :) Time management just isn't one of my strong points, unfortunately. But, uh...I'm in college now. So I guess it will just have to become one of my strong points, won't it? 
Some day, I will post lovely things on here about life and thrift shopping and preparing for Olympia, but I simply do not have time. Perhaps tomorrow? 
I really should be getting off of the computer now...but I'm feeling quite lonely right now. So I will play some music...while reading English. Maybe just classical :)
