Dear Reader... Dancing With Hart!

Dear reader (Yeah, I did it again!),
                 I have spent about an hour and thirty minutes dancing with my energetic friend, Hart. she is the same age as me, 12, but she is around a foot smaller than me. I am used to that, since I am so tall. She is about 75 pounds, plays softball, and is very hyper. She like lettuce on just about anything but pizza. To sum it all up, she is a healthy, tiny, happy ball of sunshine.
                I have a feeling we will be dancing a lot more this summer. We have, so far, put together 2 energetic dances(MAN! I am tired!). We have done one with my sister, and one without. I just realized that I pick those two up a lot in the dances.
               I am going to have so much fun with my friend, Hart, this summer.

Dear Reader...Bye Bye Birdie!!!

Dear reader(Yes. I did type "Dear reader". It might be something that I will be doing from now on.),
                  I have started a play called Bye Bye Birdie down at Chickasaw Theater. I started the first rehearsal last night. My mother thought that we would settle down and get to know each other before we actually started rehearsing, but she was wrong.
                  Not even ten minutes after we were started we had started rehearsal we were already in our groups(high soprano, soprano, alto, tenor, and the ones who just don't know what part they sing), warmed up, and started on our first song, "A Healthy, Normal, American Boy". I was kind of in the middle between alto soprano and alto, so i guess you could count me as a person who just doesn't know what part they sing. I ended up choosing soprano.
                  Our songs were a bit hard for my sister, Mallory, who couldn't hit most of the high notes(Did I mention she was in it, too? Well, she is!). One song where the notes were high was "Hymn for a Sunday Evening".  We worked on that song some last night, But she kept on getting mad at me for pointing out to her that that was an A flat, or and F sharp. Maybe she is jealous of me. Or maybe she doesn't want an older sibling who knows more than she does about music. What do you think, reader? 
                I have seen the movie, "Bye Bye Birdie", so I knew some of the songs that we sang. The hardest song for me was  "A Lot of Livin' To Do". I have a feeling that that song is going to require some extra practice. We are gonna be learning the choreography today. Oh boy...
