Christmas

Hmmm. So, Christmas/vacation is certainly on the spectrum of rocking.

At a pep rally at my school Friday that we were using as an excuse to not do work, marvelous things occurred. I normally hate pep rallies. That day, we had a band of the teachers playing old school, classic rock. Their band is christened Chalkdust, a name of rocking proportions. They started playing Mustang Sally, a song that I love, so I ran out, into the middle of the gym floor, in front of the four hundred or so kids in my high school, and started dancing. Luckily, my friend Jackie followed me out there so I didn't look too stupid, and a bunch of my friends came out too. The crowd out there got bigger and bigger as we encouraged more people to join. We ended up having a HUGE MOSH(ish) PIT RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GYM! it was awesome. The crowd started chanting for Chalkdust to play Freebird, a really long awesome classic song, and they did. At the beginning was a slow part, and everybody linked arms and got in a circle, doing the hold-up-the-fake-lighter-for-the-ballad thing, except one kid who pulled out a real lighter that smelled like pot and got in trouble. The fast part of the song came and we all jumped around in this awesome moshish pit, except without the violent beating up and slamming of people. Some kid had this stuffed penguin he had been carrying around all day in honor of the holiday, and they threw it into the put, where it crowdsurfed! WE HAD A CROWDSURFING PENGUIN! Everyone kept shouting, ITS THE FREEBIRD! it was amazing. I will remember that day for a very long time.

So, on to Christmas. It was a good day. I got presents at my house, then we went to my grandparent's house and ate dinner with family. I got nineteen books, and forty dollars worth of gift cards that have the potential of turning into more books. It's amazing. I made a pile of them, from the biggest on the bottom to the smallest on the top. They're so beautiful! Life is good. I've been reading for the past three days, pretty much nonstop.

Yesterday, though, I went to see Eragon, which was pretty good. I approve of it, it was not bad. The actor who played my favorite character being amazingly hot didn't hurt either.

And now I have taken a suitable amount of time out of my day in order to update you all on my life, because I know you're highly interested in my doings. And so, I return to my reading.
