What I Do For You Tanya.

So last night I had a dance performance. It went pretty well. It was really fun. I think we did awesome. Getting ready beforehand though. That was a nightmare. See, we have to show up and hour beforehand in our costumes, makeup ready, and all that jazz. So I got home around 3:15, then I had to quickly shower and go to a lacrosse thing at 4. So I did that then went back home at 4:30. I immediately went to my bedroom to start getting ready. I pulled out all my makeup, pulled back my hair, and put on my face. I did a really awesome pink smokey eye with black eyeliner. I had really pink blush and bright pink lipstick. Don't judge, I like pink!

So after all that (which took an hour) I put on my fabulous costume which consisted of a skintight dress that goes about five inches below my hips, it's black and ends in red poofs with two gold stripes up the body area. I also wore thigh high tights that are black and white striped with red bows on the top. I also have red fishnet gloves, a small hat, and a weird jacket. The jacket in black and white striped, have red ruffles on the ends of the sleeves and doesn't even act like a real jacket. It only covers my arms and back. So in conclusion, my costume was terrible. Luckily I was able to wear leggings underneath so it wasn't too risque.

After I put on that monstrosity, I suddenly remembered that I had to have a zombie shirt! See I street dance with Tanya, who's in charge of the shows and such, and so we decided that the street dancers would do Thriller. So I didn't have my Thriller costume. Shit. Right then, I heard my dad walk through the door. I sprinted downstairs and hysterically yelled at him:

"DadIneedoneofyourwhiteundershirtstocutupandmakebloodyforThrillerorI'lldieahorribledeath!"

That is literally what I said. He replied with a confused:

"Okay take whatever you need out of my drawer?"

After a hurried thank you I ran upstairs and took one of his white undershirts and ran to my room. I broke out the scissors and cut that badboy up! I then proceeded to get the fake blood out of my brother's closet and ran back to my bathroom. I put the shirt in the bathtub and sprayed blood all over that sucker! I ran out of blood doing that... So now my bathtub looks like a murder scene...

Yaaaa... I still have to clean that...

On the bright side, My zombie costume was very nice!

So after I did that, I made my dad drive me to dance, I was there on time, I smiled, I danced, I sung, and I had fun scaring small children. It was a great show :)

blarghlbarbles!!! The Internet is Working!!!

Hello everyone! I'm so so so sorry for not posting yesterday! The internet was down on the entire island! I really wanted to post, but I couldn't.

Yesterday everyone rented bikes, but there were eleven bikes and thirteen of us. So me, being the the lazy person I am, and my brother (improper grammar alert!) took a cab to the cruise center. See, there were a bunch of cruise ships and since they were there, the cruise center was open! So we went there and we walked around the shops then ate lunch at Margaritaville, which, by the way, is terrible and I will never go there again. The only exciting thing that happened there is that we all did jello shots. Yup. I did a jello shot. It was fun.

We went back to where we're staying and I lazed around until dinner time. I ate dinner then went back and lazed around some more. After that, I heard that we were trying to set up the TV to watch "We Are The Millers" so I went next door. Unfortunately, they couldn't get it to work, fortunately, they got it to work at our place! So we watched the movie and went to bed. The end.

Today I woke up, got dressed, got bikes, and we all went for a really long bike ride. We went to the lighthouse which was really boring. So all I was wearing was my bikini and a shirt and there were TONS of potholes, ladies, you can imagine how much that hurt. It was terrible. After that, we went out to lunch and then my brother and I rode back to where we're staying  and I sat on the couch. My brother though, went next door to see if the internet worked. He came back and told me that the internet was working. I instantly jumped up and shoved him out of the way to go get my laptop. I grabbed the laptop and shoved him out of the way again and ran out the door. I sat down, opened my computer, and blogged. All for you people. I hope you're happy.

Anyway, nothing really interesting will happen for the rest of the day, and if anything does happen, I'll update. The only other thing is that I have a LOT more bug bites. It's terrible. Anyway, that's all. Miss you all! See you when I get back! I hope... Byeeeeee!!!!!

3/4 of a Fish

Hello there all! So this morning my dad woke me up bright and early by tickling my feet. I dragged myself out of bed and put on mah fishing clothes!

Yup. I went deep sea fishing. I always do on trips like this. So anyway, I always get seasick. But only when I'm deep sea fishing. It's weird. Today though, I didn't. It was awesome. We went around for a bit before finally, the fish started biting. We caught eight fish total between the three of us. My dad won our competition with the most fish caught at three fish. Two wahoo and a barracuda! I came in second with two and 3/4 fish. Yes, you read that right, 3/4. I caught one and 3/4 wahoo and one barracuda. My brother came in last with a wahoo and a tuna.

So onto the 3/4 of a fish that I reeled in. The fish grabbed onto the bait and started to pull. I let him pull it until he stopped before starting to reel. I reeled for a while before the "fish" started to pull the line again. It swam really fast and hard. It finally stopeed and I reeled it in half-way before we saw something white in the water. The captain said that it was probably a shark and that it had most likely attacked the fish I was reeling in. I, of course, didn't believe him. I had never heard of this before! I finally pulled the fish in all the way and there it was in all its glory. It's tail bitten off and guts falling out. It had obviously been attacked by a shark. It was wicked! Here's a picture I took:

Yup... Pretty damn awesome..

Anyway, after that adventure, we went back and I lazed around inside until it was 5 o'clock. I then got ready and put on my bathing suit for a night dive. We went out to a place where we were yesterday and got on all our gear. There really is no way to describe how awesome night dives are. They're so much better than normal dives. And then there's the fact that I'm afraid of the dark and I'm afraid of sharks... So that kinda sucked a little, but other than that it was cool!

Tonight for dinner, we ate the fish that we caught this morning and I ate the last slice of key-lime pie. Because of this, my adult friend Don flipped me off. I then gave him a snarky reply and my mother just looked at me and said "You are so snarky!" And I got sad because that's what Boyfriend always says to me and I miss him. Anyway, I came back to the house thingy and stole the internet to write this blogpost. So there. I miss you all and I'll see you later this week. Byeeeeeeee!!!

Scuba Diving, Felipe, and Dancing!!! Oh My!!!

Hello all! Today was fun.

My parents woke me up this morning, very early mind you, and made me get ready for scuba diving. I put on my bathing suit, put on my sweater, and went to breakfast. I ate food, then went to put in my contacts. After that, we went over to the boat and left to go diving.

We got to the dive site and I gathered my gear, put it on, walked to the edge of the boat, and jumped. I went down to the bottom and was in the sand. A giant red grouper swam up to us and the dive master started to feed him. We were able to pet him, and I hugged him and he swam by me the entire dive. I decided he's my new boyfriend. Sorry Boyfriend, but Felipe is my new love!

So during this dive, which was on a wall, I was turning towards the surface, taking out my reg, and blowing bubble rings. It was awesome. My mom took pictures with her underwater camera, so when I download them, I'll post them k? K. So after that, we went to the surface and went back to the shore for our surface interval. After our forty minutes were up, we went to the second dive area. I went through the same process, got to the bottom and started blowing bubble rings. We went over to the next wall, and started to go. I was still blowing bubble rings the entire time. We went back to the boat and I was just swimming around and blowing bubble rings. The dive master started to blow horizontal bubble rings. It was cool. So I then did my safety stop and went up to the surface. I took off all my gear. The dive master then taught me how to do the horizontal bubble rings. So I went back in the water with my mask on and started to swim and practice the horizontal bubble rings. I finally mastered it and went back up.

We went back to shore and I lazed about and read fanfiction. I then got ready for dinner and we went out. There was a live band there and so I pretty much begged my brother to dance with me. He finally caved and I danced with him. It was really fun. Then one of my adult friends, "Uncle Brad", as he has dubbed himself, grabbed a torch and started dancing around. We then started a conga line. It was great. After a while we sat down. We then called the taxi and all the women left the men at the restaurant. Thy're probably on their way back now. Anyway, we got home and I came inside and finished up this post all for you people. I hope you're happy.

I miss you all! Especially Courtney, CADA, and Boyfriend!!! I can't wait to get back and you all y'all!!!! Until tomorrow my lovlies!!!

Just a Small Update

So, uh... I think I have about 20-25 bug bites now, and that's just on my first day... I'm kinda dying right now... I'm kinda covered in anti-itch cream, but it doesn't really work that well... Well... I just got a new one as I'm writing this... Great... I'll talk to y'all later... Bye... I hope I don't itch my skin off... BTW: To all my friends... email me... Or make a google doce or something if you wanna chat... Adios for real this time!

Be Totally Jealous!!! (ish)

Well hello there! I, currently, am sitting in the living room of a house on Grand Turk island in the Turks and Caicos. It's very warm here and today I went scuba diving. It was quite exciting. I suppose I'll tell you about my trip. Be prepared to be totally jelly!

It all started out on Wednesday night. We left at nine pm and drove to the airport in Salt Lake City. We then went through security, found our gate, boarded the plane, and took off. On this flight, I was rather uncomfortable. You see, we were flying to New York to make a connection to the main island where we would take a small pond hopper to Grand Turk. So as I was saying. I was sitting by the window next to this lady who sat kinda, really, super close to me. I could barely move without hitting her. So eventually I just put in complimentary ear plugs and attempted to sleep. Key word being attempted. I think I slept like, an hour on that plane. Ya... I got off the plane the next day at around six o'clock New York time. We got breakfast, I had a coffee and bagel, and then went over to the Delta section of the JFK airport. Since my daddy-dearest is a pilot, we were able to hang out in the pilot's lounge. It was lovely.

They have reclining chairs with airplane pillows and blankets for the pilots to sleep, so I sat mah butt in one o' dem chairs and read mah book. I read dat shiz fo two hours cuz I am a strong, independent, black woman. And I don't need no man in my life!

Woah! Sorry... I don't know what just happened there... Anyway, so we went there until eight and went back over to the Jet Blue side of the airport and got over to our next plane. This one was even worse. I sat next to the most annoying woman you will ever meet! She had an annoying, nasally, New York accent. I mean, the accent was cool, but the nasally annoying voice? Ugh! Anyway, I just plugged in my Green Day, but not before getting a nasty look for my hair, music, and clothes, and just ignored the abomination for the rest of the flight. Did I mention I was stuck by the window for another three hours? So finally the plane landed and we got off and went to get on the next one... Which was in an hour and a half... So we got food. I had the most amazing lobster wrap! Or, maybe not... I dunno... It tasted amazing, but maybe I was just hungry. Anyway, we got on the next plane and it was cool. It was a small pond hopper, so my dad sat in the co-pilot's seat and I sat right behind him and watched the pilot work his magic.

We got off the plane after half and hour, got a ride to where we're staying, and met up with my parents friends. We ate dinner, and by then I was half-asleep. I wasn't too tired though, since I ate dinner. Before I left though. I realized something. It was terrible. So, so terrible. I didn't even know how it had happened!

I had five bug bites! All on one hand! It was so, so terrible! My mother was able to go to the store and get me some anti-itch cream and I applied it and fell asleep. This morning, (yes we traveled an entire day) I woke up to my family being loud. I got up, only to realize I had three more bug bites! What the Hell? I put on more cream, sprayed myself with bug spray and sun-screen, put on my bathing suit, and gathered my gear.

I walked down the street over to a nice little building where everyone was. We all gathered our stuff up, got ready, and went to the boat. The driver took us a little off shore and tied up. We all put on the rest of our gear and got going. By now you're probably wondering, what are they doing?

We're scuba-diving. My favorite thing in the entire world. I can't even describe how amazing it is. You feel weightless, peaceful. It's so amazing! The only thing you can hear is the sound of the reg when you inhale and your bubbles when you exhale. It's amazing. I would've just fallen asleep and let mysel sink if I could have it was peaceful. I went on two dives today before coming back to shore and eating lunch. I then went back to our little house thingy and fell asleep again. I slept for a really long time before putting on a dress and going to dinner. Tonight, I had shrimp pasta and it was delicious. I finished dinner, had key-lime pie, then went over to our friend's house thingy to bum off their internet to write this damned blog post. All for you Mr. Parker. I hope you're jealous now. Deal with it!

Since I have to include a picture... And don't make fun of me, the salt-water turned my hair into a gravity-defying mess!!! BTW: I miss all y'all!!! Imma try to post everyday or every other day to show you how much fun I'm having and your not!!! Adios until tomorrow!!
