I actually accomplished something this week! (But that'll come in later.)
On Wednesday, there was supposed to be a Young Women's activity where two wards were combined, but guess what? Only me and one of the counselors from our ward showed up and pretty much all the girls from the other ward were there. But at least I got to meet more girls, and they were all pretty cool. The activity was a Zumba class, and, while I wish I knew sooner because then I would've worn something more appropriate for dancing, I was pleasantly surprised to see all the other girls also putting in as much effort as me. None of them complained, and pretty much all of us were at least decent at the dancing (besides one or two of the other ward's counselors). They were nice girls. I hope I get to hang out with them every once in a while.
I thought some of the songs were kinda weird. One, for example, we did moves inspired by India and Ireland, basically... Another was that song "Waving Flag", but half of it was sung in Spanish, which I'd never heard before. The Spanish singer and the original singer just didn't really sound right together to me...
And, of course, a few songs in, my chest started hurting. Again. It happens every single time I've ever attempted Zumba and sometimes happened when running the mile in PE, I think. Nothing else ever causes it. I didn't really want to just stop dancing, though, so I just went to drink from the water fountain and danced a bit slower until I felt okay. After that I was good. *shrug* My mom's worried, though, that that hasn't been fixed yet and might be something serious. I hope it's not!
What's the thing I accomplished? I opened up my Lego set and built that Titanium dragon from Nashville! YAAAY! It was pretty complicated... More complicated than I thought necessary. Some of that complicatedness was just for the look! Of course I want my dragon to look cool, but really? *rolls eyes* Though, even with all the complicatedness, it took less time than I expected to finish. It's cool, though my mom said she expected it to be bigger. *deadpan* Well, sorry, that wasn't my fault! Maybe I thought it would be too! *runs away sobbing*
I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like it looks like a white panther with wings or something... Not that that's a bad thing, of course. That's actually part of why it's cool. And it could make for an interesting creature if I didn't want to call it a dragon... I'm gonna think on that a little later.
I've ended up reading some Harry Potter and Fullmetal Alchemist crossovers lately. I rarely read any before because... well... I don't know much about HP, especially in the middle books. But I saw one that someone recommended, and another because I went on one of my favorite author's profiles and saw they were writing one (that actually happened a few months ago too), and now in the story's AN I was recommended to another... They're pretty good, honestly, and it's helping my HP knowledge. I mean, I'm pretty sure one of them was following everything that happened in the 2nd and 3rd year, so I basically read the books through a fanfic... I'm technically not a Harry Potter fan, but I at least know more characters and plot and magic now. *smile* And I now know that it's quite interesting for everyone if the Elrics somehow end up at Hogwarts. *huehuehue*
Remember that person who did FMA Lab Rats? They did it yet again, but now with the first episode of Glee. (I've looked at their profile- seems they just make a habit of doing stuff like this.) I don't think it's a bad thing to do stuff like this, but it could at least be done in a way in which it's not so obvious they wrote everything that happened in the episode and then changed the characters' names to the ones in FMA. It was funny and interesting to imagine what certain scenes would look like with FMA characters, but a lot of the time it just didn't fit... Olivier for Sue? Heck yeah. Paninya for Mercedes?... Not quite... Al for Kurt? NO! *shiver* Kurt's not bad, but Al is not Kurt and Kurt is not Al. Seriously. I didn't really enjoy imagining Al being Kurt-ish, because it is just not meant to be. Al is not gay! That night I was just imagining what would happen if Winry called him gay! He'd flip!
*The New Adventures of Lileh*
Yesterday, we went furniture shopping, but in the end never actually bought something. There was stuff we liked but just were not fully convinced on getting it...
We ate some dim sum! I think I liked it more than the dim sum in SLC.
We ate at the waffle sandwich truck again. This time my mom and dad got the same ones from before, but I also got one that was kinda Hawaiian, even though it was called the All Star, for some reason. It was also good, but maybe a little too sweet to be dinner for me...
The sister missionaries ate with us just, like, an hour ago. I like them. There's just something cool about them.
I forgot to say last time that we went to get registered at school the week before, and also went to the library that Saturday. I got to read a bunch of Adventure Time comics (among other graphic novels) and I also got this book called Sisters of the Sword that I actually liked a lot and plan to find the next book of. (PS- did you know Flame Prince's story? It's cool... or should I say hot? *buhdm ch* He was pretty hot himself, actually. *nuther buhdm ch* No seriously I don't know how he seemed handsome even though he only has dots for eyes. Dots for eyes. How did the author pull that off?! How can Adventure Time characters be attractive?! It's not logical, but it just happens! *grr*)
