i'm sorry

i haven't posted in a while! ok, so on sunday nite we had our christmas cantata at our church. it was sooooooooo much fun!!!! our choir (the teen choir) was only in the last three songs (well, actually four b/c we repeated one of them at the end). but they were AWESOME songs!!!! on the first one, all the teens were sitting out in the audience. so then when the music started (we all had our cue) we got up and walked onto the stage. then we just kinda stood in groups on the stairs for that whole song. i just LOVE that song! it starts out with chanting (ok, i know that sounds bad, but it's really not. all it is is we're whispering) we're saying, "sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing we now! sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, now!" yeah, it's much better when you actually hear it...believe me! on the 'sing, sing, now!" part, in the choir book it had this little squiggly line that went down after it. so laura said we were supposed to hold it out and go down with the note. so we did that all the time and exaggerated it. it was fun! so then after the 'chanting' part there was some music in between (it was AWESOME! it had a 'celtic drum cadence' and a 'pennywhistle' lol laura adn i memorized where the drum cadence started every time and also each time the pennywhistle started. we had alot of fun with that =). then the next song inside that song was 'sing we noel' that song rocks! it is soooo pretty! and then there's some more of the music, and then the next song is 'o come, o come, emmanuel'. i love that song too! and then mine and laura's favorite song (and the last song) is 'God rest ye merry gentlemen'. laura made up motions for the whole thing. so as u can tell, we had tons of jokes about this whole song (the whole song was called 'sing we now'). so then when we were up there singing, laura kept nudging me to remind me of each joke! so i was laughing soooo hard, but trying not to look like i was laughing. it was very difficult! i was trying to sing, laugh, and try not to laugh at the same time! but i didn't succeed. everyone noticed that i was laughing so it was quite embarassing. oh well. it was fun! the other songs we sang were 'my song to the King' and 'still the Lamb'. those songs are very pretty. i especially like song to the King. it's so cool, the whole song is building up to 'my song' and it's talking about how 'i don't have much, but i give everything' and then it just keeps building up. and then it comes to a 'bridge' (i think that's what it's called =) and it's like, 'and all of creation hesitates now, all of the angels stop singing now. as the King of all glory listens to my song!' and then it goes into 'what child is this' and that's supposed to be 'my song'. it's soooo exciting, but you have to hear it, b/c music always makes all the difference in how it makes your emotions soar. it's just sooo cool! i love music. ok, i'll brb, i can't stand it! i'm gonna try to find that song SOMEWHERE on this world wide web!!!!!! ok. nevermind. i couldn't find anything that had the whole song on it!!!!! but i found out who sings it! it's a group called 'pocket full of rocks'. oh well, i'll just have to be satisfied with hearing it in my head and maybe singing it with my friends. *sigh*

ok, well, i think i'm gonna go now cuz i don't have anything interesting to write about.....ok! see ya! ipml =)
