the adventures of obi-wan kenobi: obi takes a nap

Obi-Wan Kenobi was a curious lizard. When it was play time, he liked to get into everything from Christmas decorations to the desk drawer, and even up the book shelves.

And one day was no exception. After a few hours of exploring, he decided to take a nap.
The first place he tried was on the umbrella stand. After climbing all the way up, he stretched himself across the top like a hammock.


After a while he decided that he was getting tired from holding on for too long, so he left in search of a new spot.
The next place he tried was on top of a book on the side table. He managed to claw his was up the slippery surface and balance on top of the closed book. He was comfortable for a long time until he got too cold.


Finally, he found the perfect spot. He saw his owner laying on the couch also taking a nap. Making his way over to her, he found the warmest spot on her chest. He then laid down, squirmed around to snuggle, and quickly closed his eyes in comfort for a nice, relaxing, warm nap.

The End.

singing ballerina

If I could start all over again, I would. From childhood up. If I could start over knowing what I like now, and what I wish I could do, I would do it to pick a different career in life. But I can't do the things I want to do now. It's not a matter of faith or willpower in myself, I know. It's all about timing and talent.

There are a few things I wish I could do now. I really want to be a ballerina. I would love to dance ballet really well. I would've stayed in ballet my whole childhood instead of quitting when I was young and become really good. I know I could've done it, I'm just much too old to do it now. I need a few years, but I'm in "prime" ballerina years right now. By the time I learn, I'll be too old to dance. And by old, I really do mean over 28.

I also wish I could sing opera. I have always loved opera my whole life. I wish I had had the opportunity to take singing lessons when I was very little and learned the basics a long time ago, not now. I have the resources (BYU arts dept.) to be able to get the most amazing training ever and be in first class operas, but I don't have the training or talent to do that now.

And I also wish that if I hadn't done one of the above things that I had become amazing at an instrument. Music is amazing, and I wish that I had really been persistent and practiced and become a performance artist.

I want to change my major. But can I do that? No, not really. Not if I actually want to graduate with something. After singing in choir, improving my singing with lessons, discovering that I actually have a given talent to sing, and learning that I LOVE it, I want to do choral directing. I would love that. Learn how to lead a choir... I want to be a choral director in a high school somewhere. I think that would make me the happiest.

Well, I still have my English career though, so at least I still have something I love. I guess, as they say, it's not over until the fat lady sings.
