9/10/11 8 counts behind.

   So my friend Anna says that my blog needs a catchier name...or maybe just the posts...huh.

So anyways my first performance in color-guard was yesterday and I was 8 counts behind from the flag feature to the final ark. I also ended only partially facing the audience. Ugh. At least I wasn't the only one messing up on the flag feature.  Hey did I mention that I caught ALL my tosses?  I actually think we will greatly improve by next show, at least the opener, Sunset has a difficult toss in it, I'm proud to say I've completed it one or twice, but I still need to get a good spin on it.  That's all I can say for color-guard, I would say that a certain someone who keeps telling us what we already know like "People! you've GOT TO GET THIS RIGHT!  Count in your head!" could save her b****ing for her head also, but I won't since this is a happy optimistic blog.  So I was a beta-reader for this book called Weirs it's not published yet but I can guarantee that it will since it has an awesome factor of 10.5.  READ IT WHEN IT COMES OUT! 

         By the way, if you didn't know I was in ASL (I was going to start a video blog but chickened out) I now have a name sign of my very own!  Take your dominate hand make a V and tap your opposite shoulder, do not hyper-extend your fingers make them relaxed.  The sign for "Alex is a combination of "Lazy" and "Hyperactive."  Funny, me and Mr. Lee have never actually met yet that sums me up in a nutshell.   Apparently only deaf people can give name-signs, does this mean only hearing people can give you normal names?  No, deaf-culture is so prejudice.
