Yesterday was quite possibly one of the more empowering days of my life.
Winter guard.... Scarier than you think, and it only gets more terrifying.
During practice, I was having some issues, but not many. After a while, we got stopped because we needed to have a personality. However, Kelly used me as an example for this personality because I was already showing enough emotion. The one thing I know I can do was complimented on, and it felt nice to be noticed. Kelly said something along the lines of, "Kaylene is the one I want to watch. She's having fun, and you can tell. No one is going to watch the rest of you if you don't look happy like her. Only your parents will watch you." I was smiling my face off, almost literally. I love facial expressions lately, and it's strange because braces should have tamed it, but it only made my bubbliness worse... :)
At the show, I didn't mess up per say, but it could have been better, and we all know that about ourselves. I still had the most personality, but it's kind of hard to match up to craziness and constant joy. Well not constant... They put way too much hairspray in my hair. It ended up hurting so much 20 minutes after our show that David had to help me take the bobby pins out. My hair still stayed in place after he took them all out, though. And 20 minutes and multiple shampoos later did very little good later on... I better get used to cardboard hair and carnival makeup, which was also more colorful that most...
I like being in a group and showing myself off. It's nice to be a part of something and know that people depend on you. 10 show people seem to be exactly the right amount for this.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha I might change my mind when I have to learn to throw a triple on rifle in two weeks...
