Sour Patch Kids?

     I love my life.

     Okay, i just wanted to see how that would look. ANYWAYS, I haven't blogged in awhile. Dangit. I apologize.

     So, my dance competition is next weekend. Is that not awesome/cool/nerve-wracking? Although i had to learn the hard way that mom's do not like the idea of skipping a whole school day to drive to Kansas city. But skipping out during fifth period isn't that bad...

    This past Wednesday, I had the time of my life. Yeaahh it sounds like i'm exaggerating, but i'm not. My bestest friend in the entire world Sam Finnigan brought a 5 gallon bag of super-sour patch kids to school. My crammed like, 120 in a REALLY small plastics bag and crammed it in his binder. Allllll day he kept yelling at everyone on our dance team and tossing a sour patch kid at them. In math with my not-so-good-moodish teacher, Sam yelled/loudly whispered my name and i tried to catch it in my mouth, but it flew and hit the teacher. Definitely worth the extra worksheet (:

     That was pretty much my whole day. All of my teachers didn't really have anything planned so it was a blow-off day. No biggie... It's not like we could've been learning so we don't have to go to school until June 7th.

    That's about it because i have to finish my computer assignment. But one last thing...

     My dance team (It's called K-A for the kids. It's originally Kick-ass.) is going to be having conditioning, technique, par core and rehearsals this summer. The days and times are yet to be worked out so we can have everyone there. It's going to be up at Bellview Elementary on the old basketball courts. If you guys want to see our latest dances (BRADY STARTED CHOREOGRAPHING!!) Just facebook message, call, or text me! It'd be cool to have people to perform for. I'm really excited for this year! :)

ugh.

          So. Been awhile? I think yes.
I need to say something that's totally un-blog related. I've already done this once, but still.

Shelby Sneed and Amanda Ayers-
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I know saying that isn't really going to help, and people say that saying sorry a bunch of times loses it's meaning, but i really am truly sorry.

I changed the password to this account. Ashley can't write anything, change anything, or do anything what-so-freaking ever. I changed/deleted the stuff that she posted or created.

I get that y'all would be mad. You have every right to be. But the blog wasn't talking about either of you, and i wasn't the person to say that. I really wish that we could go back to the way things were, but if you guys don't want that, i totally understand.

To all other people who aren't sneed and ayers-
This blog post probably doesn't make ANY sense at all. But just so ya know, Shelby and Amanda are two dancers that go to the dance studio i do. They're some pretty amazing people. I got the chance to talk to them and be friends with them. They're probably part of the reasons i actually LIKE coming to dance.

Sneed and Ayers are seriously perfect.
i miss them :(

Snow day! :)

         Ok, so I live in Arkansas. (The most exciting state..ever.) Anyways, we're famous for freaking cold winters and burning summers. Somehow we never get a while Christmas, but it usually snows every year. Last night Rogers got 2ish inches of snow and a crapload of ice. So NO SCHOOL! :)
         I already froze my butt off, so i'm inside for the rest of the day. Exciting right?
        
         On an unrelated note, i went ice-dancing today. Haha the street that runs infront of my house completely froze over. All the neighborhood kids were out there with music playing sliding everywhere. We probably looked like 15 idiots doing that, but that was the most fun i've had since New Years Eve. I started doing stunts (flips, gymnastics, etc) and SO many of the girls joined in. Eventually we fell on our butts painfully, but it was worth it. That was the funnest time i've ever had dancing. EVER.

        Also on an unrealted note, I lost a friend today. I met him at one of my best friend's New Years party, so we haven't known each other for long. I got this stupid idea in my head and I wouldn't let it go. I kept telling him to forget about me, and I really shouldn't have done that. I know that he's not going to come back and start talking to me. I just know it. I sent him a link to this blog yesterday, so he might be reading. I hope.

         I'M SORRY.

         I really am sorry Tyler. This isn't one of those crappy apologies that mean nothing. I mean this. I promise. I would love to be your friend, and nothing more. But you'll probably never know that.

Sorry to end my blog post on a sad note guys, but that had to be said.

stupid cheerleaders.

          Before anyone thinks any less of me, I don't think ALL cheerleaders are bad. Just the ones who take one class a week at my school. They honestly pissss me off!!! All of them take one class at Infiniti together and they can't do ANYTHING. No splits, not toe-touches, no nothing. It's really quite sad actually.
          So, hese cheerleaders told me they can dance. All of them stood there and turned on Somebody To Love by freakin JUSTIN BIEBER. It was already bad enough. Anyway, they all started doing like, a pyramid or something but they had one person going up and SIX at the botton of the pyramid. Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure that's not how it works.
          I could go through ranting about how much they sucked, but I could be talking for days and I'm slightly scared they're reading this... But yeah. I walked over there, using my own time when i could do whatever i wanted, and spent the next half hour kickin their ass. BEST DAY EVER....almost.
         BUUUUTTT that's a story for my other blog. So today was mostly a good day. Whoop-dee-doo!

That tall person...
;)

Dancers are really starting to piss me off.

          I know I said that I was quitting dance, but I have to finish this year of it. Ughh.
ANYWAY.
Back to my blogging topic.
          Shy, unsure, blocked-out dancers. I mean, if you are one, that's fine and all, but they're just starting to piss me off. All of them that I've seen are these AMAZING dancers that can do these turns and leaps not even half the freaking studio has. Then they all go and be self-concious about their dancing and call themselves "bad."
          Say my friend Amanda for example. She's this beautiful dancer who is probably the best dancer on Krew if you went into details. She always says I can whoop her butt in a freestyle hip-hop dance off, but that's honestly not true. She choeagraphs these things on the spot just randomly when she hears music. And even when she doesn't hear music. (Now that last one sounded a bit starnge but it's possible)
         Anyways, she make up some dance combonation and try it to the music and as soon as she finishes sometimes, I can almost see gears working in her head, about to change it. If your self-concious about the first version after you change it, I totally get it. But these people calling themselves "fat" or "bad" or crap like that is pissing me off.
          People need to invent a seperarte person for everyone on the planet so they can see themselves. People need to realize how truly amazing everyone is.
Well, unless you're a murderer. Or criminal. Or something like that.
          So. I just had to rant that through blogging so I'm done.
I'll probably post later today so keep that in mind.
Ciao,
Lauren <3

My hip-hop teacher (:

My hip-hop teacher is..."original"

His name is Rashawn Hammons and he basically looks and dresses like a ganster. Well, a clean-cut nice looking friendly non-violent gangster. That, and he has a large collection of hats. Beanies, trucker hats, you name it.

He's a teacher and the leader/founder of Poe Kru. (that's a competitive dance team for all you people uneducated in dance..) He lives in Fayettvile, AR and has to drive all the way to Bentonville AR 3-4 days a week. I personally think its loyal and all but its just a little ridiculous. On top of all that, he teaches at another dance studio.

Rashawn is the 3rd person to actually see me TRY to hip-hop dance. I've had quite a few people tell me that i'm good, but I don't think its true. At all. Zilch. NO. Nada. El negative.

I'm quitting dance, (all of it. Jazz, Ballet, Point, Tap, Lyrical, and especially hip-hop.) and I honestly don't think Rashawn approves. Most people probably wouldn't notice that I wasn't there....except maybe Amanda. I know that it'll be really hard on me, but it'll be worth it.

I just really hope that Rashawn will find other people who are to shy to come out of their shell and actually DANCE. I mean, sure all dance teachers have found people with extrodinary talents, but I think that Rashawn can crack people. (in a good way) I don't want people to be judged or underestimated in dance. Ever. It literally kills me when I see that.

Good luck Rashawn. I hope you suceed.
