How I Got My New Name (#3)

Well, I have been known to go by the names of Abigail, Abbey, Princess, and Mouth....but I find that I don't like those quite as much as my new name. You see, this last weekend I went to Oklahoma to help with mission program for inter-city kids. We went to an apt. complex and rounded the kids and took them to the community center for a few sports clinics. We sang songs with them, fed them hamburgers, and gave them prizes for talent and good behavior. I really feel like we did some good and got to have fun. Anyway the night before my group had been playing jeopard and I was sitting next to Andy and thinking you know, I'm tired of being called Abbey all the time and I think I am ready for something different....hmmm....how about ______. So I did I told people to call me _______. It was totally cool being called by something that wasn't my real name. So when I got back I started telling people to call me _______ as well. It hasn't taken as well as I had hoped but oh well. I guess that's all for now so I'll cya later avid readers!

Luv ya, Ralph ;-D

Well it HAS been forever and a day...

My apologies for keeping my ones of fans in the dark about my life for the last few days...weeks...months...Well anyway all I'm sayin is I'm sorry bout that.

So, an update is in order! Here are the top 10 things that have gone on in my life this year.

1. My band repertoire has grown exceedingly with my attendance of various band functions and such. The grueling and sometimes freezing days of marching season rewarded us with six trophies, Yay! And now during concert season we took the band to District (the highest level) contest and we got ones straight across the board...this means we played well for the judges and we did well in sight reading. Two of those ones were even 1+'s. So that was pretty much awesome. I also took a flute solo and got a 2+ as a well as a woodwind trio which received a 1 and a piano solo which also received a 1+. I'm goin' to State babe!
   
2. My choir repertoire has also grown as well. At the beginning of the year I made District Choir, which as a freshman is great! However in Missouri you can't try out for State as a freshman so that's kind of a let down but oh well. Recently I went to contest with an ensemble and two solos and I received ones with those as well so I do get to go to State for that. Hard to believe that I'm doin' so well for a freshman isn't it?
3. My friends and I have went through trials in our friendship but I'm afraid I don't feel the need to elaborate further.
4. I became my FCCLA chapter's Public Relations officer for the 07-08 school year.
5. My Jr. Parli. Pro. team got gold at district contest so went to state contest. We got a gold at state contest so....WE are going to C-a-l-i-f-o-r-n-i-a! Uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh!
6. I went to Vegas and married the one and only Elvis Presley....jk! I watched as my baby sister learned the most eloquent of phrases, "Yo dude!" and as I taught her to actually pose on command.
7. I started reading my Bible more often.
8. I'm going to Aquire the Fire for the first time ever.
9. I've read many many many new books this year.
10. I made a new friend.

So there, now you can maybe not my top 10, but definitely 10 things that happened to me this year. Comment if you want, though honestly I don't have high hopes that anyone will seeing as no one much did before. Ah well.
