My Cello!

So, if you don't know already, I will tell you now.


I play the Cello! :D I'm pretty good too (Well, that is what everyone else says. I still need alot of work though...)! I love my Cello (I'm not trying to be artificial here either). It has a sweet tone, and it's like, one of my best friends! I can always go to her (yes, she is a she) when I'm mad or sad and I'll talk to her and play music and I feel alot better! Her name is Timpani. If you know anything about music, Timpani is actually a type of drum that can change pitch. I wrote a little story about it:


" Once upon a time, in a not-so-little town in the United States, there lived a Cello player named Bekah. When she was a 7th grader, she went to early morning symphonic orchestra. Now Bekah was incredibly thick and nieve at the time (and still is ocassionally). Her orchestra teacher, Mr. Bull, said, "Ok, TIMPANI is right here." For a few weeks Bekah thought Timpani was a person who never came to Symphonic, but must have had great importance. Then a little while later, she thought Timpani was the musical term for a drum roll. But her thoughts them turned back to having Timpani as a person. After about 2 months of waiting for Timpani to show up to Symphonic, Rebekah went up to Mr. Bull after symphonic and asked him, "Mr. Bull, WHO IS TIMPANI??" "Bekah," he replied as he tried so hard not to laugh, "Timpani is a drum! Not a person!" She stood for a few seconds, letting it sink it, then exclaimed, "OH! Timpani is a drum!" and immediately burst into laughter. Everyone looked at her dumbfoundedly, wondering why she didn't know. 

A year later, when she bought her first Cello, she named it Timpani because of the happy memorie of symphonic orchestra. 

Now they use her Cello instead of the actuall drum. (jk jk jk jk!!)"

I've come a LOOOONNNNNGGG way since then, but I really like the name Timpani too! I'm going to show you some photos that I have taken of my lovely Cello too! :)

(I've recently added the "RT" at the end, because, you know, they are my photos! You can use my photos, just comment on the post below and please give credit where credit is due.)

:)

Yep, that's me! :D It really is! (And no, it is not photo shopped!)

Well, I hope to be able to give you all some videos of me performing, but for now you will just have to visit my YouTube site! It has me playing by myself, me singing by myself, and the orchestra that I am in!

Well, that is all for now! See you soon!

School is almost out!!

The school year is almost over (Can you believe it??? I know I can't!)!!!!!! I'm sad too! I become a secluded hermit over the summer! I'm going to miss my friends, and seminary, and orchestra, and and and... :'O It makes me depressed! (you can tell I'm a bit of a social person... hehe) I don't do alot over the summer! Where I live, you can't get a job till you are 15 (like restaurants and stuff like that). I don't turn 15 till the summer is half way over! Many people aren't willing to hire either :P In the past summers, I've ridden my bike all over the place and went to girls camp (oh and last year we had a dance festival). Sometimes we travel too.

Well, this blog is about my life, through a lens, so I will give you some photos!

This one is our orchestra group. (which, BTW, you can follow here) I'm totally going to miss these guys once summer starts! They are amazing! Annnnnddddd next year 1/2 of us will be at Skyline! (well, maybe not half, more like 12 out of 15!) (and just so you know, I'm the 4th in from the left on the back row). These guys are like my 2nd family! Did I already say that they were amazing?

So, I LOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE Cherry Blossom trees! They are so beautiful! Lots have been blooming here, so I have been in heaven for a while.I carry my camera pretty much everywhere, so while going to school the other day, I took some photos! :D I edit them with a photo editor called befunky. It's not too bad, though if you don't have a premium membership, it has 3-4 ads (that change every 2-3 minutes) and you can't use the cool stuff... But it is pretty nice!

(same photo, different style!)

Well, that is all for now. I need to get some sleep! lol! :D See you all later!

Busy busy life!

I haven't been on here in a while! Wow! Life has had me running around in circles! yeesh!

I have some very sad news though...

MY CAMERA IS BROKEN!! NOOOOOOO!!!

I'm very sad. It looks like we can't fix it, and the warranty expired a while ago...

Soooooo I will be posting random photos that I have taken the past few months! Enjoy!

This is my gingerbread house that I brought to a gingerbread competition. I arrived after the judges left, so I didn't win anything. :/

This is me! We had a Christmas formal for our December stake dance last year, so I bought this really pretty dress! :D It was an awesome dance! I had alot of fun! (If you also notice, I cut mah hair!)

We had another Orchestra BBQ the saturday before school started. We were able to get alot more people to come! It was a blast!

This is the amazing Brother Kory Kunz! He is my seminary teacher! This was at our Seminary Pizza party! Because we got all of our papers turned in for next year, our class, along with all the other classes, got to have a pizza party at the seminary building during lunch! Brother Kunz had ordered SO many pizzas, that when we stacked them up, they were taller than him! Brother Kunz is AWESOME!

Well, that's all for now! See you later!
