Happy Saturday!

Empty Promises
Am I always promising you guys that I'll do stuff, like post about our trip last summer, and then not doing it?
...
Yes.
Well, THAT is going to CHANGE. I shall START to post as FREQUENTLY as POSSIBLE. Though only if something interesting ARISES. (The capital words are for EMPHASIS.)
There's not really anything interesting happening right now... ^^; It's raining outside. I've got a lot of homework to do. My sketchbook is full of unposted artwork. And I have theatre rehearsal tomorrow until 6:30. I love theatre, but that cuts into my eating time, a.k.a. dinner.
I hope you guys are having a bit more of a fun evening than I am. Au revoir!

My life's going okay, I suppose...
So since I haven't blogged in a while, and I've recovered from the guilt of leaving my California-trip-blogging for Christmas, I'll update all of you people on what's going on in my life.
- I got inducted into my school's NJHS program.
- I've been more obsessed with deviantART than usual...
- I haven't touched my sketchbook for about a month. D:
- I auditioned for May Belle Aarons from Bridge to Terabithia, my school's OAP for this year. But I got Girl 2. But I'm gonna be the best darn Girl 2 they've ever had!
- I've been saving up for a 3DS, but I think I'm going to get a DSi XL instead.
- That's about it.
Hope all of you are in good health--last week I had a spout of allergies and missed tons of work just from two days! Happy start of fall to everyone!
<3, Jills

Theatre Audition
Today, it was my duty as a seventh-grade theatre student to audition for Theatre Production, a sort of "advanced theatre" class for eighth graders at my school. I was so nervous, I was shaking and I was dizzy and felt like I was gonna pee in my pants. We had to perform a monologue in front of the two (they're best buddies!) theatre teachers for our audition. I stumbled a little, talked fast and looked around everywhere. I was so nervous! I had to sit in a classroom for forty-five minutes with nothing to do but worry, practice, worry, worry, and have my stomach growl. It was torture! Though now I'm so glad it's over. But now I have to wait until the last day of school, two months from now, to get the results, if I made it in or not. Oh gosh, here comes the worrying again.....

REVIEW: One Red Paperclip by Kyle MacDonald
Yes, you heard me right. A red paperclip. Not just *a*, but *one*. Not blue, or green, or purple. But amazing, dazzling, bright, bold, lovely, passionate, angry, ferocious red.
Okay, SPOILER ALERT!!! WARNING: I am about to do the one thing a booklogger (book-review-writing blogger, like me) shouldn't do. I am going to reveal the end of the book. Most people who READ the book probably knew the ending. Actually, it says the ending on the *back* of the *book*. So dude, I think this is okay to do.
One Red Paperclip is about Kyle's, a Canadian's, desire to support him and his girlfriend, Dominique, who he refers to throughout the book as Dom. He's currently "between jobs", and sweet Dom helps him out. He's feeling frustrated and upset that he has to take from his girlfriend, so one day he's reminiscing about when he was a kid and when he played a game called Bigger and Better with his friends. They would spend a day, starting with a small item, and go door-to-door trading up to (you guessed it) bigger and better items. Kyle and his friends joked around, saying someday they could trade up to a car.
At first, it was just a crazy idea.
But it turned into a frenzy.
Kyle posted ads all over Craigslist for "one red paperclip". At first, offers trickled in, but when the idea spread around, they FLOWED. Kyle built a site and, as he got item after item, he went on more and more TV news shows, radio news programs, appeared in newspapers everywhere, online articles and other people's blogs. In no time, thanks to the cyberspacial generation (ooh, I just made up a word), Kyle's idea was everywhere.
Kyle traded the paperclip for a fish pen. For a doorknob. Hand-sculpted. For a camping stove. With fuel. For a generator. Which he couldn't take on the airplane. For an instant party. Which was odd. Offers rolled in. Highlight the next part if you want to find out what happened in the end. Kyle got a house in Kipling, Canada! They offered to trade it for the "one credited, speaking role in a movie" he received from Corbin Bernsen (yes, the dad on Psych). He got the movie role because he traded Corbin a light-up snowglobe that he got from this other guy who--oh, scratch this, I could go on all day.
Thanks for reading! Check out One Red Paperclip, it's an amazing book with some inspirational quotes nestled secretively in some of the pages, especially close to the end. Bye! PS--Wish me good luck, in one week is Theatre Production auditions!! MEEP!!!
