Three down, zero to go. Darn it.

So I lost my key... Again. So far this year I have lost three keys. The only three keys to my car. I'm not quite sure how I am getting to school tomarrow. Anyway, my dad tried to help me break into my car so I could get my drivers licence. Did you know he used to be a repo man? Well, he did, and he used to break into cars all the time. Only that was fifteen years ago, and he seems to have lost all of his old skills. We were out there trying to break into my car for a full half of an hour. Finally my dad gave up. He decided that we needed to call the police to come open it for us. The very idea of calling the police to come and unlock my door was very embarassing. Then my dad told me to go and call. Yeah...no. I told him as much, and he asked me a question that I will try to answer now. "Why won't you call?" It is a very good question.
Who really wants to call the police dispatcher and interupt a busy police guy (or girl) to come unlock a stupid teenager's car? Not me. I think the main reason is that I don't like calling people and talking to people on the phone. I'd rather be face to face when I talk to someone, especially if that someone is a stranger. I honestly would rather do almost any thing rather than call a stranger on the phone. Another reason I didn't want to call was that I was EXTREMELY embarassed by the whole situation, and asking police people over to my house did not seem like it would help any.
In the end, my dad called for me. A police man came, opened my car for me, and went away. It really wasn't that bad, but still.

Homemade Wheat Bread and What Not to Wear 2

Given a choice between homemade wheat bread and homemade white bread, I would choose homemade wheat bread. Some people in my family find my mom's wheat bread disgusting, tasteless, or too heavy. I personally think my mother's homemade bread is delicious in all its forms, but especially when its wheat. Wheat bread makes me think of cold winter days, sitting by the kitchen table with my feet on the heater vent. I love the many memories associated with warm bread and cold milk.
Another thing I love is the show What Not to Wear. Stacey and Clinton (the hosts/stylists) are so very funny. The clothes they choose for people are really cool. I love that they take people who really need help in the fashion department and make them fashion forward. Nick and Carmindy are very talented with hair and make up, respectively. The whole show is fun to watch.
You may be wondering what on earth wheat bread and What Not to Wear have in common. Let me tell you. Both of them start with a W.

1776

Musicals are the best! With music, dancing, and a story, whats not to love? Of the many, many wonderful musicals I know of, near the top of the list is 1776. It is about history, it is funny, and it has a powerful message.

1776 is a musical about the writing of the declaration of Independence. My very favorite subject in school is history. Seeing and listening to 1776 is fun because it brings two things that I love together: history and music.

The songs and dialogue in 1776 are very witty. Using sarcasm and outright jokes, the songs are easily remembered and are fun to sing along with. My favorite song is the one where John Adams is trying to get someone to write the declaration.

The main message of 1776 is to never give up, and stand for what you believe in. John Adams, who is obnoxious and disliked, never gives up his hopes for Independence even when people tell him to give up. He even sings a song about it!

1776 uses history and hilarity to teach us that winners never quit and quitters never win. I've grown up with this musical and have learned many lessons from it. If you haven't seen it, you should.
