Hello,
I'm starting a fresh new blog...yeah, I know what your thinking..."again?"
Well, it's to freshen up on waht this blog started out to be....
I will use this one on occasion..mostly as a "here's what's going on" blog. I plan on taking some of the things I posted about last year and repost them and restudy them. I have had a lot happen to me over the past couple months...for insance I'm joining a privet school this year (a school of a whole 22 students!! whohoo! I know then all already~ and the teachers!) I did 4-H this year and showed animals at the fair. I've met several new peopl and have had some wonderful experieces that I'll never forget! Hopefully things will settle down some and I will have more time to blog. truthfully I have been busy myspacing with my computer time. I know, I know....tisk tisk...
Well, off I go to create my blog...of course, in addition to creating my new blog I must delete Eye Right Two Much.

Well, talk to you all and to all I will talk,
Lanna

Ladies and Gents,
You are about to read a VERY full post in VERY short words....

Okay, so I went to the rodeo and carnival on friday with my freind Dani. Rodeo was cool, I must admit (my first year going.) I havn't been to the carnival in 5yrs. And I've never been on what are known as the "Big Kid" rides until this year......AND I can discribe them in a few short words: Fun. Scary. Scream. Sick. Dissy. Tierd. Ugh.
Okay, so on my last ride I got thrown out of my seat and landed back down and hit my back on the metal seat...didn't really think much of it until the next day..and to make things short I'll just say it turns out I fractured my spine (or posibly just broosed my bone...but most likely a fracture.) So I'm not supposed to move very much. I layed down on my tummy for most of the day until my energy got to me and I had to do a little moving....SO here I be. Also, my band is going south. We lost our lead singer, Tyler, and piano, sister Jo, and so that leaves me on drums and Casey on bass and possibly (for softer songs only) Ashley our second vocal. And you can't make much music with a drum and bass....so we are searching for two guitarists and maybe a pianist. *sigh*


Well, more to both stories but I'm hungry so farewell!
No spelling check this time.....I'm pooped out............

My Favorite Bands

I thought that I would put a little info about some of my favorite bands. We need to spred good music around!

Okay, the first pictue is of HANSON. This is a band of three Christian homeschooled brothers. They started out when they were very young. They sang at parties, fairs, where ever they could. Their first CD, Middle of Nowhere, came out in 1997 . When it came out they were only 11, 14, and 16.

Their CD was a hit. It made #1 pop charts in '97. They toured the whole world having concerts.

Now, they are all grown up and have family's of thier own, but

they are still out there making music and have recently put out their latest CD titled

"The Walk."

(Note: Hanson is not a Chirstian band.)

Alright!!!

Jars Of Clay!!!

I don't know as much about how the Jars started BUT I do know this:

Jars put out their first CD in 1995 titled Jars Of Clay. Following that came If I Left The Zoo, Much Afriad, Jar of Gems, The Eleventh Hour, Furthermore, Who We Are Instead, Redemption Songs, and their latest CD Good Monsters.

They are known for their poetic lyrics and the deep meanings to their songs.

Jars of Clay is a Christain band.

Well hello,
What else is there to say. Life has been busy. Music and family has been life. Scary, I've hardly had any time for anything but music and family. Now that my aunt's wedding is over (it was earlier today) I should have more time to blog and comunticate with others outside of my house and band.
Just to give an exaple of what I mean by busy, in April we played "How To Save A Life" by The Fray for the high-school talent show. We learned the song in three days. Our singer didn't even know the song. We didn't win anything cause of a slight piano problem, but we had fun. That's what is supposed to count right? Right. The next weekend was the Youth Arts Fest. Woopie gosh. My dance group practiced eveyday, two or more hours a day, for a week for that show. One day we met at 7:30am to practice. Joseph (a dancer) hated me for dragging out of bed. Lazy. We barely had a show. But, heck, we had fun (which seems to be the case with most shows!) We also played The Fray song again there. It was much better that time. Anyway, The same day that we had that 7:30 am practice was the day of the ball. I wish you were all there! It was so awesome. I got asked by real live guys this year. Yeah, real ones. Jo and I looked darling in our dresses. Just darling. My colors were Royal Blue and Gold and Jo wore Pink and White. Everyone looked so good. Matt (a friend) wore his scottish kelt. He's an interesting guy. Very proud of his scotish background. But, that's just Matt.
Today was the wedding. About a month ago I asked my aunt if we could play some band music at the wedding. "Sure" she said. So, we practiced some boring love songs just for her and Wes (the new hubby.) My brother was the ring boy and Jo played the wedding march song thingy. We went to the practice last night. I asked my aunt where the drum set was going. "Oh, there's a drumset?"
Rrrrr. I told here BAND SONGS but aperently she didn't know that I was in a band or that I don't play much piano anymore or that I'm even still a drummer. She's never heard me play in the two years that I have. Sad though, she lives an hour away. Anyway, got there today and the drumset was a no show. Without drums, my band is helpless. Bummer deal. She thought that Jo and I would go up and play little kiddy songs on the piano. She has know idea that we play pro songs. Jo just grew out of her piano teacher. During the summer I pracitce like an hour every day. Winter is more like half that cause of school. Rrrrr. I'll be fine. Jo bought me flip flops. I'm good.

Well, Daisy, you should be here to play guitar and Austin should be here to play bass (even though I aready have guitar and bass player.)
You'll see us in stores soon. My mom is very proud. She pushes us to do what we love~music.

Well, just so you all know, I moved up to a pro drumset. I outa give Mr. Williamson some lessons! Tell him that, Austin.

Forgive my spelling, I'm not going to proof read this time.

See you all when my band tours the world:)
Lanna

P.S. Dose your family celebrate birthdays? How? Why?

Listen to this true story!

~The 1st Betty Crocker Cake Mix~

Before Betty Crocker cake mix first came out, women were asked if it was a product that they would use. "Yes," seemed to be a steady answer, so the product was prodused and put on market shelves right away.
But after some time, Betty Crocker cake mixes were still on the shelves. Women were not buying them and the company wondered why. It didn't seem right that women would rather make a cake themselves instead of just adding water to the Betty Crocker mixes. Something was wrong.
So, the company went to a P.R. (Public Relations) man to get an answer to why the cakes were not selling.
And what did he tell them? Well, that one is simple. "Add an egg."
He told them that women felt too GUILTY making a cake for their families with the mix because there was no love in just adding water. It was too easy!
So, the company added an egg to their cake mix recipe and what happened? They sold like hot cakes! Because there was more love put into the cakes if the person has to add their own egg plus the water. Not as easy, but still easy enough.

Huh,
Lanna

This is a picture of me and Daisy.

Me and the left and Daisy on the right. Not a grat picture, but who can tell now?

It's not muck fun blogging unless everyone is here, but here's a song and I want to know what you think it means.

TRUCE-
by JoC


Faultless in the eyes that I could never open wide enough to see me through
Much to my surprise it never orbits around the things you should hold me to
I stand here...wondering
And I'm waiting
Chorus:
My ear is twisted in all the thoughts
A glimpse of truce just because
It's always almost never close
I close my eyes, hide the distance
Enchanted by the face of peace and when it turns to sunken eyes and waterfalls
Unsatisfied with simple things entangled in the chords, I can't take any calls
I stand here waiting
I'm calling
[Chorus]
Waiting around for some kind of peace
Hoping you find me in my need
My ear is twisted
It's always almost
[Chorus]

Hi Guys,
It's been a while since I put anything much on here. I have been busy and when I am on the computer, blogging, I'm usally commenting.
To start a new post, I need ideas.

Here, you vote which one of these I should post about:

1) About Chirstian lyrics, and what's the best for the mind and soul meaning wise.

2) My idea on Noah and the flood. Did it flood the whole world or just a part of the world?

3) I have the lyrics to a song and I want to know what you think they mean.

Lanna

GUESS WHAT!!!!

I got a part in The Tamming of the Shrew!!!!! And it is.....................BIANCA!
I'm one of the main charactors (the supporting female.) I can't wait. Yeah!

Lanna:):):):):):):)

Here's a pic of me in "coloring book." My mom said I could put "coloring book" pics on here. More fun for you that way cause then you get to color me.....oh, I'm so tickled to be such a big coloring book star. Yeehaa. *Sigh*
Well, enjoy coloring my cute picture that wornderfully displays my atractive looks and the sharp shades of my dark brown hair that is swaying in the breeze from the fan in the hall. The true beauty in my lovely eyes and the rosieness in my cheeks. *cough* Excuse me.
Though, it doesn't look like it has very dark lines on here. Hmmmm. *Sigh* again....
Oh well,

Lanna

Have you ever noticed that when your talking to someone about something, your conversation quickly changes on and on and on until it's time to go?
I went over to a friend-of-mine's house to hang out. Her siblings were catching up on homework, but she had some free time. We played a board game (about 15 minutes long) then we just talked
(about 1 hour 50 min. long) Then I had to go.
I quickly noticed how our conversation evolved to go on and on and on about different things, but we never changed the subject.
This is as if two people were talking about the upcoming winter season.
Say me , and my friend were the two. I'm Lanna, she's Nika. L and N.

N: Well, winter is here.
L: The calender lies once again.
N: It always lies.
L: I hate lies.
N: My friend lied to me the other day.
L: What about?
N: She said she had to baby-sit for a friend at noon, but really the woman was a complete stranger to her.
L: I baby-sat yesterday.
N: For who?
L: My dance teacher.
N: How's she doing?
L: Fine, I guess.
N: Is she starting lessons with you anytime soon.
L: No, she won't for a while. She's too busy.
N: It makes it hard to do stuff when there is so much ice on the road.
L: Yeah, it's been cold lately. Winter has come so soon.

Here, the conversation has come around through several subjects, but has come back to the start.

I have nothing more to say. I just though I should point that out.
