Hi _

I'm Tibby, or Spegel, whicever you might prefer. My former username was nakushita, since a few of you would recognize me by that I thought I should include it. I go to (Or will be going to shortly v.v) Menchville High School in Newport News, Virginia, which sucks because I didn't WANT to go there. It's like being denied your first choice at a college only worse, because colleges look at qualifications. The high school I wanted to go to, Woodside, accepts applicants on a lottery only basis. They put all the applications into a computer program and then they have the program select random applicants like drawing names out of a hat. If, like colleges, they let applicants in based on experience or qualifying activies, like the District and All City festivals, I probably would have gotten in. This frustrates me, but I think it is better that they do it as a lottery, for one, because this way the people that haven't had the musical or performing oppurtunities aren't excluded just because they were not in the right place at the right time, but second, because if I was denied based on my expierience and qualifying activities, I would be incredibly devasted. I am already rather devastated that I didn't get in, but it is something I can deal with this way. Not being good enough would have had a much worse effect on me I think. It reminds me of the time I was accepted into a rather strict dance company and then when I told the news to someonein my school who also applied and made it, she asked if I had made alternate after I said I made it, like...second string. It doesn't sound like anything more than one girl being rude but it shattered my self confidence T_T. Anywho, I'm terribly bad about not updating, but I'll try my best to remember I'm actually supposed to now and again. I'm also trying to work on the spelling and punctuation, as well as chapter length. My problem is, I don't think these stories up, I see little bits play out in my head and then try and make up ways to connect them and often times it ends up as schmuck shrug.

Please enjoy,

Tibby
