Off To Pennsylvania!

Guess what? Next weekend (not this weekend) I am going to Pennsylvania... for none other than, a dance competition! I honestly don't know why I'm so excited, I mean, I've been to Pennsylvania a trillion times for both dance competitions AND to see family. 

So, this dance competition is called the Four Provinces Feis. Feis is pronounced Fesh, it's an Irish word, since I do Irish dance. A little overview of a dance competition:

There about 1,000 dancers, all in costume. The dancers are split into group based on level and age, and then they dance two at a time in front of 1 to 3 judges. (Sometimes more) The judges score each dancer and the top 3 place, getting a trophy or medal. There are anywhere from 1-30 dancers in one group. Usually a dancer has 1-6 dances, depending on what level and age. If you place a  certain amount of times, you level up!

It's tons of fun!!!

The feis is in Broomall, Pennsylvania, and it's near by to the single most BEST mall EVER!!! It's called the King of Prussia Mall. BEST. PLACE. EVER. I love it there, it's even better then Fair Oaks and Tyson's Malls. 

So there you have it, just an overview on what I'm doing.

Pictures From The United States Marine Corps Museum

So, yesterday my family and I went to the United States Marine Corps Museum in Quantico, Virginia. It's not that far away, just a day trip. It's a really great museum, you should check it out sometime if you ever are nearby. I took a bunch of pictures, like over 100, but I'm obviously not going to show you all of them. I've selected a few to show you.

ignore that kid, he's my bro. bad picture of him though.

By the way, none of those are real Marines, just statues.

So, there you have it. I'd like to say a quick thank you to all brave men and women that have fought for our country.

But I hope you enjoy the pictures! Keep watching for more posts, and please, follow and comment!

It's Another One of Those Fabulous Interviews

Hey, so I've been a little obsessive with Blogger today, you all know I'm doing this for the entertainment of my viewers (*cough, cough* You!) Plus, Blogger isn't half-bad. So I've been thinking of ideas for new posts. So, here's what happened:

I heard a bunch of my fans chatting, and they were saying how much they loved my "Interview With Me" thing. (Not really, I'm not a stalker) So I'm doing ANOTHER ONE! Your welcome!

Alright, so we'll do this how we did this a while ago. Me, the interviewer, will be in one color, and me, the person answering the questions, will be in another color. (Confusing, right?)

Pink=Interviewer
Orange=Question Answerer


Me: What's up? Ready for another interview?
Me: I'm good, and yeah! I'm been waiting for this interview for like, ever!
Me: Okay great, we'll start now.
Me: Okey dokey! :)
Me: Who's your favorite band?
Me: Well, right now I'm pretty into Mumford & Sons, but The Black Eye Peas are pretty good too.
Me: Out of these choices, which would you rather be: Singer or Actor
Me: That's tough. I mean, I love to sing AND I love to act. I'd have to say actor though.
Me: What's your favorite restaurant?
Me: Well, I have a few. I love Coastal Flats, Outback Steakhouse, Wing It, Potbelly, and Carrabba's
Me: What's your favorite clothing store?
Me: Probably Abercrombie, American Eagle, or Aeropostale. Though I shop at other stores too.
Me: Well, thank you Rebecca! That was a great interview, but I'm afraid we have to wrap things up.
Me: Alright, thanks for having me. See you later!
Me: Um, yeah. Well bye!


Well there you have it. My incredibly weird interview where I talk to myself. Sounds like so much fun, doesn't it??? That's it for this post. I'll see you next time. Bye!

How To Make A Blog Header

So, do you ever see those blog headers, like mine, and really wonder how they get them? I'll show you!

Step One:
Go on Picnik.com (a photo editing website). Click on the "Upload Photos" button, and select any picture. (It doesn't matter which picture you choose, you won't really end up using it.)

Step Two:
Once you have selected the photo, you will be taken to the "Edit" section. Click on the "Crop" button and click and drag, selecting your area. (I recommend using a short and long rectangle, but anything works.) Press Okay and go to the "Create" tab.

Step Three:
Under the "Create" tab, click on Stickers. Scroll down a bit until you find Geometric, and select a rectangle, or whatever shape your photo is now. Drag the shape over your entire picture, and choose a color for it.

Step Four:
Still under the "Create" tab, click on Text. Give your blog a title or sub-heading, choosing different colors and fonts. Lastly, go back under Stickers and add some of the fun different stickers and shapes.

Step Five:
Last but not least, go under the Save & Share section, and save your creation on your computer. Go back on your blog, click Design, and change your blog title to your new picture. Viola! You did it! You now have a great title for you blog. Feel free to use the same procedure to make other things, such as pictures, logos, etc.

fav songs:
-Winter Winds
-Born This Way

What are your favorite songs, music types, and singers/bands?

OMG It's Spring Break!!!

Well, that's the case where I life... S-P-R-I-N-G B-R-E-A-K!!!!

This year we aren't really going anywhere because.
One, my little brother has some big soccer game for 3 days of the 9 days we have off.
Two, we are going on a really big trip this summer, (across the country) so we are skipping this.

But we don't want to make this the worst break ever, so my family has planned to go on some nearby day-trips, such as....
-Washington D.C.
-Shenandoah Mountains
-United States Marine Corps Museum (We went there today!)
-Grandma's house Easter

Just pointing out, none of these places are really that far from us except for my dear grandmother's house, which is 2 hours away, but who cares, not that bad of a vacation in my opinion.

But the worst part is...
I have homework! I know! On Spring Break!!! Well yeah... I'm in middle school, but still. I have two thirty page math packets to do (I'm in extended-extended math, and the SOLs are really important this year.) By the way, SOLs are the big end of the year tests we take. Anyways, I also have a project for chorus, I have to interview like 5 family members and put together this huge project. Though that might actually be fun.

So yeah, that's pretty much how my nine-day taste of freedom will be going. The Marine Corps Museum was great, I'll post pictures once I can find the cord for uploading pictures from my camera to my computer.

Question of the Post:

Are you going anywhere for your school break? Any summer plans?

Friendship Problem-o's (Aren't that great)

Oh joy, friendship troubles. It's apart of every friendship, you can't avoid it, but you can resolve it. (Life lessons are just great, aren't they?!) Anyways, I'm going to give you 3 Different Scenarios of a friendship problem One or two of them have even happened to me before. (One of them I am in the process of trying to resolve, ughh) So, I'll give you the scenario and then give you advice on what I would do if I were in that spot.

Maybe, just maybe, it will help you, in some way, shape, or form.

Scenario 1:
You and your best friend are really close, but lately she's started hanging out with a bad crowd. They are the "bullies", are pretty much failing school, and were always really mean to you and your friend. But just the other day, you hear that there is rumors going around about you. Really nasty ones at the least. You talk to your 'bestie' and found out the she was the one that started the rumors. Of course you are furious, but she claims that her "friends"pressured her into doing it and promised she wouldn't do it again. The next day, you hear more rumors being spread, starting from your best friend. You are madder then furious. Pissed off. (Please excuse my language)

So, what on Earth do you do???
Well, der, the answer is pretty obvious. Ditch your friend! You are obviously too good for her. You have already tried talking to her, it doesn't do any good, so just let her suffer the consequences.


Oh joy, have you ever gotten really exited about a post and when you start writing it, you get tired of the idea? Unfortunately, that's the case for me right now. Sorry! I hope the advice I gave you so far helped though!!
