Operatic Arts

To the surprise of many and expectation of others-I love opera! That's right, my adolescent mindset is not completely taken boys and pineapple, I have an interest in so many things that it really drives me crazy sometimes! But as of now, let's focus on my passion for the operatic arts~!
One of my many career interests is to be an opera singer, or star of a broadway musical-but then again who hasn't dreamed this dream at a point? I've taken lessons and even made our High School's elite Chamber Choir (the biggest accomplishment of my young life), yet I wonder how far I'll make it? I'd like to think I have the talent, but at times I feel I'd be a little out of place.
An interesting opera fact I really liked: The word opera means "work" in Italian -from Latin opus meaning "work" or "labour". (en.wikipedia.org) My cnclusion? Mayhap I will be an opera singer someday-but I'll never know unless I really "work" for it. ^^
On a sidenote, I'll be gone for the next week or so at an Opera Academy in Chicago, Illinois. Maybe you can guess why opera's been on my mind! I'll be performing and everything, so wish me luck!

Our Beloved Berry


Were you, my dear general population, aware that the most glamorous of fruits, the royalty of tropical emblems is in fact-!
A Berry??

Rest assured I was pretty surprised myself as Pineapples don't seem to slightly resemble their blueberry cousins. But the evidence is undeniable. After a lengthy conversation and a few big words I was convinced. I would've been more than happy to explain this phenomenon, but alas, my shock seems to have blurred my memory.
Here are some more plant facts- http://sophia.smith.edu/badseeds/plantfacts.html

By the way, I also got my senior portraits done today! They invited us to bring a prop or two for our photos, so I, being myself, brought a luscious pineapple to pose with. It was a lot of fun! I'll post them up when we get the prints anywhere in the next two weeks!

Pineapple Turtles

It has finally happened! I have my very own blog!
Now the real question is if I'll remember to update it often enough.
I don't think that should be too much of a problem-I think I'll like this bloggin stuff!
I'll update when I'm not supposed to be testing!
Toodles!
