Ballet
Hi Everyone,
I can't believe it's already October.
Well, if you've read the description of me, you will find out that I enjoy dancing. Now apparently when you get more advanced in ballet, you have to take more classes. Well, because I'm now more advanced, I'm taking four classes on three different days.
Now,( I know I'm saying well and now too much) to explain the reason why I'm taking so much dance this year is a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long story. But I'll tell it to you as briefly as possible.
Okay, so Samfransisco's mom sent my mom an email, that she sent to me which said(huh!) that there were auditions for a production of Aladdin and the Nutcracker from a dance company. I'd never been in a ballet production before so I wanted to try out. Now, later, Samfransisco sent me an email telling me about auditions for the play Grease that she was going to go to(at a theater I've been to before), and struck me as something fun too. Well, the funny thing was, was that the auditions were on the same day and close to the same time. So Mom and I worked it out after a while how to get to both almost getting to both auditions on time.
The Grease audition was like an old fashioned audition where there was an accompanist on piano for the songs(I was glad I brought my music). They had do some dancing and oviously some acting,and told us that the cast list would be up by Saturday. Then right after that we rushed to the ballet auditions. We actually missed them, but the lady was nice enough to let me do a private try out. She had me do a combination and some dance acting and said she would call and let us know. Before we left though, Mom was wondering what their dance class schedule was. We looked at it and pondered, and the lady told me that I should take six classes. NO WAY! Too much. My mom took a schedule home just in case if we wanted to try it out.
The Tuesday of that week two interesting things happened. 1. I didn't make Aladdin, and 2. I and Samfransisco tried out for a choir which amediatly took us.
Now you maybe wondering if me or Samfransisco got in Grease. The answer is neither, but it was a good experience.
You might be wondering why this post is called ballet in stead of auditions. Well, those dance classes I told you about that that lady wanted me to take. I'm taking four of the six she recommended. It's a little hectic but I manage. Thank you so much Mom for driving. All the teachers are nice, and all the other students are nice too.
Well, my eyes are getting tired and I can't think of anything else to say, so thank you for reading and I hope there aren't too many mistakes.
Salut,
Bobfransico Bob

Happy Labor Day!
Hi Everyone!
Sorry for the three month delay on posting. I almost posted in June but I never finished it.
Anyway, I hope you've had a great summer! I know I have. I think I'll list everything I've done,and then elaborate on them. Hmmmmmm........ Well let's see(Oh, by the way, this is not in order of date.)
1. Summer Concert
2. Camp China
3. Vacation
4. Birthday Parties
5. Frantically Reading
6. Finding a shard of Dumbledor's Wand(Ha, Ha, just kidding)
Hmm. Right now I can't think of anything else exciting. Oh, my cousin's graduation.
Actually, I think I'm only going to elaborate on vacation since it's late.
Well, we left a little later than we wanted to(we meaning family), and the car was packed to the brim.
Okay here's were the car ride get interesting. My brother Thomas has to pick up a cash register for this play he's doing props for(He found it over the Internet being sold at a flee market in Virginia). So, in order to get to the flee market on the way to the beach(I forgot to tell you, we were going to North Carolina) we had to go on a very congested route.Well, actually we didn't think it would be congested, but you know what I mean. Anyway, when we were on our way to the market, my Dad inquired if it would be huge or tear up the seat, and Thomas said no. So, when we arrived, his predictions were a little off. The register was about twice as big as he imagined and it weighed at least 100 pounds. It was also very awkward to sit and watch the people jam it between two seats.
Anyway, a few other funny things happened, we finally got there at 9:30 at night(It took us about 11 hours).
The beach house itself was really nice. The Family room was spacious, everybody got their own bathroom and TV in their room. It was great. The private pool was also very nice. It was never very cold. And the beach itself was wonderful. I succeeded in digging a hole to the water(digging vertically into the sand). I dug it when it was high tide though ,so, maybe that made it easier. Well, we're having a great time, we've been there for four days, we'd planned out the rest of the week and guess what happens. Dad finds out the we have to evacuate for the hurricane the next day. We all were very upset. I would miss the beach and the house we lived in, but I guess you would rather be safe than sorry.
We took our time packing up and leaving. Leaving at about three, we say goodbye to the Outer Banks for the summer.
At least we enjoyed the time we had there.
Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed this post and read past posts from this blog.
Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes. In the next post , I'll talk about the concert.
Until next time,

Oh, Horrors! It's Murder!
Hello Everyone!
I hope everyone is doing well.
I just wanted to let you know that May 13 was the performance of Oh ,Horrors! It's Murder! For all who came to see it, thank you for your support. Oh, yeah. Just in case you didn't know, I was in it as Officer Val Holloway. My friends, Joefransisco and Samfransisco,where in it too. Joefransisco played a guard of the museum and a accuser; Samfransisco played Betty Lang, a photographer for the Sentinel. Well, since you don't know the plot line, I'll tell it to you as briefly as possible. Okay,so it's about this museum that's having a lecture going on told by Prof. Dirk Carlton(and I need to mention there was a projector). Suddenly, the projector turned off and all was black. When Jane(the lady running the projector) turned it back on Professor Carlton was dead with a pencil stuck in his ear! For a while a bunch of other stuff happens that has really nothing to do with the play. Then the detectives come and solve the case. Actually, only one detective solves the case, Lieutenant Dana Morrow( pronounced DAYNA), but I guess she used my notes to piece it all together. I'm not really sure.
After the play, my family and I, plus Joefransisco, Samfransisco, and their families went out for pizza.
Oh, yeah. One more thing. Yesterday, my family and I went to see the premiere of the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie. If you're planning to go, you'll love it. It's really funny. Also, my brothers said it was better than the last one they made.
Well, I guess I'm finished.

Marlboro Day
Hi Everyone!!!!!!!!
I know it's been a month since I've last posted. Eventhough not alot of people read this, I enjoy writing this and updating the blog.
Okay, that was kind of pointless ,but, anyway...........There are three thing I would like to talk about. First, Campus Movie Fest.
My two oldest brothers made a video called " Death and Taxes". Oh, by the way, all videos entered had to be five minutes or less. Anyway, theirs was a comedy about a small group of acountants trying to finish sending out tax returns. Obove is the video. I hope you like it.
Well,...............Yesterday, was the Girl Scout Easter egg hunt. It went very well. It started out with setting up and going over the rules of the grounds,and while we were eating dinner, the sky decided to rain. Know ,you may be thinking,"Why did she say it went well?" Well, one thing was that it also started to thunder and I think there was some lightning, but it enventually stopped. We then finished dinner and started the dance party segment. Some of the songs were normal dance party songs like the "Cha,Cha, Slide", and some of them were just upbeat. Sadly, the dancing ended, but then, the egg hunting began. The wet grass tricked you into thinking you saw an egg every second(and I forgot to mention this was at night) , but it was fun. One thing though ,was that at every single Easter egg hunt who ever (or whom ever) finds the golden egg gets a special prize. Funny thing is, no one found that egg.
And my last thing to say is that today is Marlboro Day ,and I was in the parade. I looked at some venders, went back to the place where we had the Easter egg hunt to find the left over eggs,and came home.

Saint Patricks Day
Hi Everybody!
I've been very busy lately so I haven't had time to post.
On St.Patricks Day, my family and I went to a great concert my cousin Chelsea was in. They did this one song called either No Music or No Words where she sang a "silly solo". I liked it. Sadly, we missed her first solo because we got there late, but we ordered the concert CD.
The day after that, we went to see my cousin Natalie in the pit orchestra for the play Guys and Dolls. She played clarinet and alto saxophone. The production itself was okay.
Last Tuesday some friends, my mom, and I, went to the National Cathedral. While there, we went through the labyrinth that they had laid out. The Cathedral had wonderful music too.
Lastly, yesterday, my mom, Samfransisco, Miss Crystal, and I went on a field trip to the American History Museum. We mainly did a tour on the Civil War and slavery. After the tour, we looked around at some famous clothing and props (like Fonsies jacket and Jim Henson's Muppets) and Julia Child's kitchen. I had a great day.
Thank you for reading and I'll post sometime soon.
Yours truly,
Bobfransisco Bob

Thinking Day
Hello! Happy belated Valentines Day!
This past week has been busy. Well, more like weekend. I had Thinking Day last weekend ,and I'm not sure if that should be capitalized. Anyway, in case you don't know what Thinking Day is , it is a when we sit around in a room and think. Ha ha just kidding. It actually is a special Girl Scout day when the council picks a theme that involves a foreign country and/or countries. This year it was indigenous people from all over the world. We chose the Aztecs from Mexico. We were origonally going to just do a power point with some acting, but little did we know that we would make it into a play that lasted 12 minutes long. It was about a girl scout who is getting interveiwed by a reporter about Thinking Day. She goes to get a poster and suddenly she trips and falls into a deep sleep. Then she has this wacko dream were she meets the Aztecs and their gods. I played Quetzalcoutle and a random person who absessed with peppers and corn. After that we watched some other presentations that the other troops put on. Then we went around and tried the food from the different countries that were around the room. Finally we had swaps. I think I got the same swap five times. Anyway, that's how Thinking Day went. Thank you for reading. Sorry for any writing mistakes.
Thank You,
