Thanx for the comments u sent me!!!
I love getting positive comments from people.
Yeah my parents are kinda in a band, cause they play together!!!
They love doing gigs- that’s playing at functions like weddings and restaurants!!!

I would’ve replied on your blog, which looks GREAT, but I have to give my school e-mail address and I may not be allowed!!!!

It’s great to know that you love music.
I love music as well!!!
I don’t think I could live without it!!!

So you come from Canada
I love their accent!!
Well i’m from Australia!!!

I’m not actually sure if Rockwiz would be on in your country, cause it’s filmed in Australia, and might only be for Australians!!!
Sorry!!!

I write songs basically about my life, and if there’s nothing going on with my life, then I just make up stuff!!!
I would put my lyrics up on this site, but i’m afraid that some people may steal them.

Thanx again

Well, this weekend is a busy one for my family cause my parents are practicing for their gig next weekend, that’s going to be held at the Town Hall in Jamieson!
It was a very old town hall that has been repainted and fixed up!!!
So a party is being held there for the opening!!!

It’s going to be like a help-yourself sort of party, where everyone just brings their own food along.

So my parents are going to be running through their songs.
My mum singing, and my dad on electric guitar.

I’ll also be practicing my three own songs, which I have written, and two of Shakira’s dance numbers.

I’m looking forward to that party, and will probably take my digital camera, so I can take small video’s and heaps of photos, if I can be bothered!!!

When I was in grade five, there was a boy who I was absolutley crazy about!
I gave him love letters, tried to learn his foreign language, and chased him around the school, but always failed to catch him because he would always hide in the boy’s toilets.

Well one day we were in a computer room, learning how to us Powerpoint.
We had to create a series of slides on a topic of our choice.

So I thought i’d make it about him, and include Shakira in it, because they both knew how to speak Spanish.

The basic storyline, I think from what I can remember was something along the lines of my crush going to Shakira’s concert and then speaking to her backstage in Spanish.
he had asked, ‘Do you speak English?’
And she had replied, ‘Yes!’
It was something like that and then the bit that was funny was that I had a photo on there of a boy and a girl drinking wine, outside near a swimming pool!!!!
That was supposed to have been Shakira and my crush!!!

We had to show it to the class, and not only that but it was projected onto a large board, so EVERYONE COULD SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was so embarrased, and so was he.

I have one more story about him that i’d like to share with you!
One day, when I was in grade six we were doing silent reading in class, and I was reading this horror book by R.L Stine (I still luv those books).
When we were to pack up, because it was at the end of the day, he started tickling me (cause he knew I was tickelish) so he could get the book.
I let him win in the end, cause I liked him and wanted to have some fun.

Well the next day he didn’t give it back, and because I had borrowed it from the school library, it needed to be returned soon!
Because I was worried, I spoke to my class teacher, and she told him to bring the book back.

Well it came to the day when he had needed to bring it back, and he still hadn’t cause his mum had hidden it somewhere!!!
So for punishment, he was given a lunchtime detention.

I was on the floor doing reading groups, when I noticed that these tears were slowly running down his face.
Before I knew it he was bawling his eyes out!!!

When I was outside I’d realized that i’d hurt my crush’s feelings, and I started to cry as well!!!!
My class teacher called me into her office, and told me not to cry about it, or something like that!!!

Once he was let out of the dentention, everything was fine!

*It was amazing how I acted back then.
I still think about it sometimes, and wonder if I ever saw him again, what the situation would be like.
I’ve gotten over him now (of course!!!!), though it took a long time, cause he left at the end of first term in grade six!!!
I’ve just learnt my lesson to never go to that extreme over a guy that isn’t even interested in you! (in that crush way, I mean!)

Well I went to Jamieson, which is half an hour away from Mansfield, on the first Friday of my holidays.

We visited two country towns on the way there.

They were Yea and Mansfield.

At Yea there was this nice bakery.

When I got there I had a pastie and a hot chocolate!!!! YUM!!!!!

On the Saturday I went to Mansfield and had lunch at this nice Cafe.

And on the Sunday my parents did this ‘gig’ at the Jamieson Pub, meaning they played songs.

I sang three of my own songs that I had written, and I had fun considering that there was hardly anyone there.

They only people that were there were the people that knew us, and their friends.

We decided to go up to Jamieson because we know people up there called Rick and Rose.

Rick used to play the keyboard with my parents, before I even existed!

I’ve mentioned it in one of my other blog posts, from like April this year.

So on that Sunday Rick played with my parents as well.

My mum sang and my dad played the guitar.

He has this nice blue electric guitar, that’s sparkly.

It’s like a metallic colour.

The event was actually filmed, so I got to watch myself singing!!!

My voice sounded basically good, except for the occasion where I sang the wrong note.

It was good that I did my own songs cause then it gave the audience (at least the people that showed up) a range of different music, cause my parents did all the flashback music from around the 60’s 70’s and 80’s, and then I brought in the pop stuff.

I still had two dance numbers that I could’ve done, but there wasn’t enough time.

I was glad to come home to see my beautiful black and white cat, who missed us!!!

I also wrote a song near on the weekend, and then I wrote some chords to go with it!

I only know about six chords, so I worked around them.

I tried videoing myself with my little Cybershot camera, playing my guitar and singing the words, but when I put it on my computer and played it back it was too dark, and you could just see the side of my face.

I tried again to film it in better light, but I screwed up with either playing the wrong chord or singing a sentence in which didn’t make sense.

I named the song ‘Black Clouds,’ because like me and everyone else, we sometimes get them hovering over our heads and making us feel blue or angry or whatever, so I wrote the song about a guy who makes those black clouds disappear.

That was some of the things I did on my holidays!

I hope you have a nice holiday as well

Love
