sometimes i do stuff that's cool

Once upon a time, I felt pretty cool.
This is why:







Look! Look! :)
That's me!
With 3,745 other people from around the world - 73 countries in all - for Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir 3. :)
Such a neat experience.

Here are the first two, though I didn't get to participate in either:



The third comes out April 2nd.
I will be posting it here, don't you worry. :)

Marvelous ON A MONDAY!

Yes, you're shocked, I know. It's a Monday, and I'm posting... There's a first time for everything. ;)
Today has been an especially horrible Monday, so it's a good thing that I have so much to be thankful for, too. Otherwise I might be upset, and then where would we be?
Anyhow, I shall leave my words for the list. :)
Things I loved about today:
-Random texts from EFY buddies! Especially with inside jokes.
-Totes. Haha. Hahaha.
-The fact that graduation is so very near! 
-The prospect of working three jobs... College will happen!
-Cheesecake cupcakes
- Awesome prospective college friends
- This song. And just this woman in general.
-Water! It saves me from coughing up a lung!
- Talking to my uncle Russ, whom I have not seen for ages because he lives in North Carolina (in the town where my best friend is moving to... Go figure.)
- Boiled eggs
- Random tuna cravings...
- Meeting new people. :)
- Renaming new friends (who are boys) with woman names. You know who you are.
- Being renamed George
- I got to work on time!
- Facebook
- Discovering that my Psych project is actually just a presentation of information that I already have
- This video. The title itself is lovely. :)
- The fact that even though I woke up super late, I was still fairly well groomed.
- Kleenex. Oh man.
- Pain killers and cold/cough meds! I am not a zombie because of them!
- The fact that I could still sort of sing in Chorale today, even though my voice is rather shot.
- I don't feel like I failed my math test! Which is good, because I need to pass the class.
- Repainting nails
- Having time to blog
- Being able to listen to music because my homework didn't require too much rational thought... :)
- My mother's reaction to Death Cab for Cutie's name. You'd think with band names like Oingo Boingo, Men Without Hats, and Twisted Sister from her generation she wouldn't bat an eye. :)
So all in all, it was TOTES not that bad of a day! ;) 
Peace, homes.

MARVELOUS Monday!

A little background on me - I, like many people, am a firm believer in blaming Mondays. 
For example:
Chorale: *sings flat/sharp/both with little to no rhythm correctness and tone quality. Utterly lacking in musicality*
Ms. Tate: *in a more polite way* Why are you made of fail?!
Kira: It's a Monday.
See? I'm not very nice to Mondays. 
Well, this is where I come to the actual point. Because I am trying to have a better attitude towards everything, I have decided that I need to start loving Mondays. To help me do this, I hereby declare that every Monday from this Monday forward is to be MARVELOUS Monday, and I shall post about all the MARVELOUS things that occurred that day, because there is always going to be something. :) 
And you know... In case there are days when I can't think of many MARVELOUS, I think I'll just add things from the week as well. :)
So, here is my very first MARVELOUS Monday list:
Things I loved about today:
- The idea of MARVELOUS Mondays!
- Actually posting on my blog, because I haven't in a week. :)
- Submitting my decision to Utah State!!!!
- Having the opportunity to register early for a couple of my classes for this fall!
-  Talking to friends about college.
- Understanding what is going on in math.
- Being told by Ms. Tate that my "tone is just great". Normally it's "Kira, you sound lovely, but please don't sing a solo," or "Kira, don't take over." :)
- Hugs. In general. :)
- Learning about budgets! I need to start figuring one out for college!
- Comfy jeans.
- Discovering that my super boring English paper is due on Thursday and not tomorrow! :)
- Lettuce in my sandwich. I don't know why, it was just good.
- Wearing my bright purple, super stylin' Jacket-in-a-Packet raincoat. ;)
- The rain
- FHE with the Craigs

Well, I'm sure there are more, but 'tis late! I am off to bed. :)
