Twirl World

My life in the world of twirling and outside of its busy schedule. Baton twirling could not be more fun and this site tells you why.

Chuckie Cheese's!!!


My favorite place to be a kid. Today my brothers, 6 other kids, and I went to Chuckie Cheese's. It was pretty boring. I sat and talked with the other to moms, but their conversations didn't interest me at all. So I pretty much sat there and kept to myself. By the way, I love their pizza. It makes me feel like a kid again. It made me gasp how vicious the moms were in the lines to order the pizza and get tokens for the kids. One mom went straight to the front of the line in front of ten other people. Another mom said,"The line starts back there!" Then the mom who cut said,"You know what? I stood in line for 25 minutes just get into this place so I would like to get my tokens." I said,"Gasp, what a rude person!"(but not out loud) Eventually everybody pushed her out of the way and she went to the back of the line which was longer than it was when she got to the line. That is what a rude person gets for cutting me!! HA!!! Unfortunately just as I got there my best friend Kelsey came in with her family. I wish she had gotten there an hour earlier instead of right when I had to leave, but it was nice to see that I'm wasn't the only 13 year old there! OH, I'm sorry she was twelve or atleast that's what her mom told the lady in the front so that they could get free tokens. After Chuckie's we went to Target and I got this new purple purse and the cutest shirt.

Break


I am so excited! I have a five day weekend break. This week at school is conferences. I'm not so excited about the whole conference thing, but the no school thing is really working for me. Unfortunately I have absolutely nothing to do. I woke up about twenty minutes ago. My mom said that I could always clean my room or part of the house. I thought was hilarious and started to laugh, but I guess she didn't find it very funny. I might go to the studio later to practice baton, but there will probably be nobody there so it will be just as boring. If something interesting actually happens today I'll write about it, but I wouldn't count on it.

Olympics at School!

Today at school we played the games that were in the Olympics only they were a little bit different. For the luge event we sat on scooters and pushed ourselves around the gym. We speed skated by sliding on pieces of paper under our feet, and shot hockey goals with plastic pucks. My favorite event was when we had to put on all of these ski clothes really fast and had to run to your partner who you would switch the clothes with. My partner and I won two gold medals, two silver, and one bronze. Then my favorite part of the entire day was when we went to the ice arena and got to skate. This was the first time I had ever been skating and I had so much fun. The ice skates were really painful on my ankles, but surprisingly I only fell two times. At school I'm known for being a clutz.

Starpower!

I am so sorry that I haven't posted in almost a month, but I have been really occupied. I probably won't be able to post this weekend either 'cause I will be at a dance competition in Omaha. I am so excited. For this competition I will only be performing two routines 'cause our other ones aren't finished. The two that we are taking are our tap routine, "The Roof Is On Fire", and our tap production routine, "Twister", like the game twister with all of the colorful dots. Our twister costumes are so cute. They are white with blue, red, green, and yellow dots along the skirt and a big dot in the middle of the costume. Our props are 4 big circles of each of the 4 colors and which ever you were standing by at the end of the dance is what the color of the big dot on your costume will be. Our other routine has a prop that is a roof that is on fire.
