Who could possibly be afraid of the big bad wolf when she's a twelve year old girl wearing a fancy prom dress and a petticoat that looks more like the southern belle of the ball?
No one.
That was the point when I was cast as the 'Big Bad Wolf' in the Inspire Theater Play, "The Wolf Chronicles". We started off working on the play in February 2011, and later put it on a few weeks ago.
We weren't really into auditioning for parts this time around, for we only wanted to really act already! We had one newcomer, Reid, but he fit in great since his brother played Linus last year in 'A Charlie Brown Christmas'. Nobody else was really into the lead 'B. B. Wolf.', but I was. For some reason I thought it would be fun for a little girl to play the biggest, baddest, wolf in town. Who really, wasn't.
I was so excited when the director said that I was going to play the lead. I took it into, I'm a little twelve year old girl who is trying to pull off this big bad wolf. The wolf's name was originally supposed to be Buford, but I was reluctant and they changed it to Beatrice Bonquiah. (See, B.B.?)
Anyway, with our AMAZING cast we had a court room case where I was proved innocent, and got to wear the PRETTIEST dress ever. I was so amazed with how well the show went. THANKS!
If you have a chance, check out a play by Inspire Theater sometime or join because it is some of the most fun...ever!
Thanks,
Emily :)

Goodbye, Elementary School.
So I wrote this little tid-bit about elementary school. Here it is: (PLEASE COMMENT):
Elementary School.
It’s what’s like the prologue to your whole life. What happened before. A sneak peak of what you are growing up to be. Because to be honest, no one can really and truly, see the future.
It’s also like a dream. Life gets harder and this is just the easy part. It’s like a welcome to the world. A greeting. Or maybe the first level of a video game. Even the first sprout of a flower seed. It’s just a part of life.
It’s a way to get to know yourself. A way to see if you’re a hard worker, a rebel slacker, or a straight-A goody-two-shoes.
But that’s not all. It’s like the key to the rest of your life. You can open any door you would like to choose, but once you choose the door is closed behind you and only you can go back and change the door and path if you’re lucky. You need to choose the right door. You’re door.
Elementary school is where you can go care free sometimes. You can go back and relax if you make a mistake and try again. Second chances. In real life, that’s not always the case. Don’t take this for granted.
Enjoy elementary school life. Because it’s the only elementary school you’ll get. Pretty soon you’ll be a boring adult all alone in the adult world, where of course you’ll have new exciting adventures.
Next year I’ll be in middle school. Part of me is super-duper excited, the other half would like to step back, take a breath, and stay in the elementary school dream forever.
I’ll make the right choices. Stay on the right track and make the best friends. I’ll prepare myself for high school and beyond! I’ll dream, I’ll wish, I’ll sing songs about it.
I will make the two years of middle school two of the best years of my life.
I will try to go makeup-free, drama-free, and boy-drama-free if at all possible. I have these things to go through in high school. Oh boy. I won’t say some of that stuff won’t occur, though.
I will live my life the way I choose to live it. I will ignore bullies and other people who try and make me sad or put me down. I will live life for what’s worth living.
Middle School.
It’s the next chapter of MY life.

The Best Day
I'm five years old, it's getting cold
I've got my big coat on
I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you
I run, and run
Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides
Look Now!
the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep,
on the way home
I don't why all the trees change in the fall-a-all
I know that your not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
But I know I had the Best Day, with you, today
I'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends, could be so mean
I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys
and we drive and drive until we've found a town far enough away
and we talk and window shop till I forgot
all their names
I don't know who, I'm gonna talk to now at school-o-ool
I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you-u
Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day, with you, today
I have an excellent father
His strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little Brother
Inside and out he's better than I am
I grew up in a little house where I had space to run,
and I
had,
The best days with you
There is a video I found from back when,
I was three
You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're
Talking to Me
It's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs
And Daddy's smart
and you're the prettiest lady in,
The whole wide world
Now I know why
All the trees change in the fall-a-all
I know you were on my side
Even when I was wrong-a-ong
And I love you,
For giving me your eyes
Staying back and watching me shine
and I didn't know if you knew,
so I'm taking this chance to say,
That I had the Best Day, with you, today
Lyrics by Taylor Swift (not me!)
Happy Almost Mother's Day
Love,
Emily :)

Aren't I exciting?
I know it's been like three weeks since I've blogged, but who says I can't? Want me to catch you up on my life? Or what I've been doing. Here we go!
Emily :)
- I just recently finished Easter Break and let me say that that week goes by fast. Easter was lots of great fun though so I can't argue with that.
- I'm trying desperately to finish Fablehaven Book One. It has been WAY to hard. Just the fact that I'm more than halfway done and feel like the book is getting thicker the more I read.
- My class is reading the Avi book, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, which I recently made clear that if there was a movie about it I would play her. Not because I'm like her I can just see myself playing her. By the way- one of the best books ever!
- Rio was a fantastic movie! I loved it and thought it was very humorous and goofy like any good animated children movie.
- Doing homework.
- Watching nonsense television. I. hate. it.
- Making these lists that mean nothing to people.
- Thinking of something to put on this list. Hmm.
- OOH! Writing a super duper good book.
- Listening to annoying music.
- Hoping you'll read my blog.
- Playing softball!
- Please let me know you read this by commenting!

We take Time for our Author............
I am not a copy cat, but I will say that I loved the whole idea of my Aunt making a list of things that people honestly don't need to know about her, but she would like to put out there. Today I am doing the same. I think I might go over her only 20 facts because well, there is a lot not to know about me.
1.) I hate every single fruit besides bananas because I'm weird like that. I also will only eat vanilla flavored yogurt. Tee hee.
2.) I watch Hannah Montana to make fun of it.
3.) I play yellow car in the car with my mom and Dad. When I went on the sixth grade field trip we were constantly playing the new and improved version that we came up with. We even played during the boring tour with India, Megan, and the whole rest of the bus.
4.) I pick my nails. My toenails, my fingernails, everything.
5.) I crack my knuckles.
6.) I can't watch movies where little girls die (or the celebrity who played them did in fact die) aka I'm trying to get at Savannah Smiles.
7.) The Color red annoys me.
8.) I am funny and rambunctious at home, but at school I am stiff as a rock.
9.) It's hard to make me laugh.
10.) I hate being left out. (but school wise, mostly am :()
11.) Love musicals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12.) Pop makes me have to use the restroom more and more.
13.) I love tertris.............:)
14.) I hate being alone! :(
15.) I have to have ocean noises on when I go to bed or else I feel like someone is breaking into the house. Oh no!
16.) I am recently obsessed with finding out people's last names and seeing if they are a-o or p-z. I also like when people have last names that are below mine, so that I don't feel like they are higher than me on the attendance sheet. Proctor is normally at the bottom. (In my class I'm number 19)
17.) From last year on I have been crazy about dressing up as little Disney stars for Halloween. Last year I was Alice, this year I plan on being Tinkerbell.
18.) Curious George makes me cry, a lot.
19.) As you can tell I hate little children movies because they make me cry.
20.) I can't watch Toy Story 3.
21.) I dream of being a teacher.
22.) I love acting..........
23.) Pizza Bread makes me happy. Even though it makes me full.
24.) I LOVE THE COLOR GREEN!
25.) In my mind I feel like everyone should mark their calenders that March 23rd is the best day of the year, no, not because Elizabeth Taylor died on my birthday.
Thanks,
Emily :)

Why Wicked is Better (and worse, but not really)
Welcome back to my blog. I probably DON'T need to say that at the beginning of every single blog post, but I don't really care.
The purpose of this blog post is to discuss my experience this past Wednesday on the sixth grade field trip. We had a tour of Detroit, (don't worry, we were on a bus) we went to the Hard Rock Cafe, and we went to the Fisher Theater to see Les Miserables.
The tour = Kind of Boring. 1 being the worst and 10 being the best I say the tour was a 4. There were large gaps between which the dude was speaking to us and we all had our own side conversations. I thought that the guy was kind of just talking about himself more than about Detroit. He kept saying how he went to Wayne State. And it wasn't just a random statement, he said it every five minutes. "Oh yeah, I went to Wayne State." or "I just finished at Wayne State." and "Wayne State is a very good college", which he didn't even have proof that was true. Am I right?
Hard Rock Cafe = Good, but bad. The food was alright. I got chicken tenders and fries. I ate the fries mostly. I liked the chicken a little, but it wasn't fabulous. I give Hard Rock an eight. It was fun, though. We had a great time there.
Les Miserables = Great! (to some of us) I give it a seven, because it was VERY hard to follow. Also, everyone was upset because of one (or two) inappropriate parts. I didn't actually mind, seeing as I can take these things. I won't get into detail, but some people are immature about things that REALLY happen. I liked it, though. Wicked was way better. It's actually coming back this December and I REALLY want to go see it REALLY! I saw it once, I would do ANYTHING to go see it again.
Mature and can handle Les Mis,
Emily :)

"Getting Down on Friday"
Hey! I kind of (just a little bit) redesigned my blog........if you guys even read my blog anymore sometimes I feel like I'm blogging to no one. No offense to those of you who read my blog, but decide that you just won't comment. A hem. I comment on Sarah's blog, but nobody does on mine. How about this, if I promise to blog more often will you comment? Okay, good.
What I wanted to discuss was Rebecca Black and her 'claim to fame' or however people get famous put it. Being compared to some people just isn't too good, Ms. Black. Rebecca released her single, 'Friday' just less that two weeks ago and was already accepted record deals and celebrities covering her hideous song to make it look a little less hideous. Just to be honest-no matter who covers it, 'Friday' will never be a good song. And I'm taking if Katy Perry or Rhinanna covered 'Friday'. Heck, Taylor Swift. It will NEVER be good. Just never.
The fourteen year old is probably loving up the fame, or hating it. Now note, she did not write the disastrous song, some cheat song writers did. Her mom did pay like 2 grand for it though. Not something to be proud of.
Anyway, the song roams around an eighth grade girl waking up on a Friday morning and having to go to school and deciding everything she is going to do that weekend. She even has a tough decision weather or not she should sit with her friends in the front seat, or the back seat. Oh no! What choice?
Oh wait.....................WHO CARES!!!!?????????!!!!!
My favorite has to be the third verse, which is the most helpful. I didn't know that yesterday was Thursday, tomorrow is Saturday, afterward comes Sunday. And most certainly I wanted a girl with a flat voice to sing it in a sketch pad social calender for me. You know, that's the best.
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
So you know, if you happen to be on the computer look the song up on itunes and you might come across the next big thing. Or not. Because to be truthful no one could care less about what Rebecca Black says or does.
By the way, I wonder when 'Monday' will come out.
