I stepped into the blank, white room, the glittering earrings shimmered around everywhere. I thought I wouldn't be afraid of getting my ears pierced, but I couldn't help feeling slightly nervous. The thought of having a hole punched in my ear was just really scary. I picked out the shiniest, prettiest earring, and nervously sat down on the small, twirling chair. Before I knew it, the lady was taking out a cross between a stapler and a gun and was placing it against my earlobe. It felt like I was trembling really hard on the inside. I almost didn't want to do it anymore. But I stuck to the chair and waited for the pain. And then I felt it. The stinging needle went in though my earlobe. I could feel it slowly inching in. And then it all suddenly stopped. There was no pain anymore except for a slight stinging sensation. But I couldn't believe it was over. I actually finally had my ears pierced now!

2010!!!!!!!

Wow, this past week has been really busy for me!!


Since I am playing the tenor saxophone for band, we had to buy a saxophone for myself. Last weekend, we looked around at every music store, trying to find a tenor saxophone, but they were all out of stock!!! There won't be saxophones until the end of January, and band class starts on January 4th! I'm really worrying about what to do...


On Wednesday, Frances, Katy, mommy, daddy, Samantha and I all hiked the Twin Peaks! It was a lot of fun. The total amount of steps in the Twin Peaks is 1,200! But surprisingly, I still find Mt.  Butler more tiring than the Twins. The Twins actually isn't as bad as I expected! But, since on Wednesday, it was really foggy, wet and drizzling, there was a point in the hike that was very, very slippery and dangerous. Part of the second peak has lots of rocks, and on Wednesday, it was especially slippery. We all slipped at least once, but it actually made the hike more interesting, not just step after step after step.
After the long hike, mommy, daddy and I were invited to go to a party. The kids there were all boys, so I spent the night watching wrestling and things like that... not very fun for me. But towards the end of the party, I sang karaoke, which was quite fun :)


Last night, it was New Year's Eve!!! For dinner, Frances, Katy, mommy, daddy, and I ate a buffet together. I was really full after that. Frances and Katy then invited me to sleep over and count down to 2010. We baked fudge brownies and watched the movie 'Anne of Green Gables'. It's a really good movie and I enjoyed watching it. Then we counted down to New Years. We slept really late (or, technically, really early), so now I'm really tired.
