Into the West

Yay yay yay!!! I'm so excited I'm gonna die! Well maybe not, but close. (How come that's spelled the same as close[opposite of open]? English sure is a dumb language. Now Elvish on the other hand...) 'The Lord of the Rings' symphony is going to be performed at the Minnesota Orchestra, and I get to go! I've been begging everyone I know around here (which unforunately is a limited few - all my friends live far away), but no one would go with me. I had finally decided to go by myself, but I think my dad hated the idea of me going downtown alone, so he suckered my mom into going with me. I feel bad, cuz she won't appreciate it the way I will (I kinda wanted to go alone), but it's nice to have someone to go with. And the last time I went to the orchestra was probably 4th grade, so this is super spiffy. I only wish I had something to wear that would enable me to win the costume contest. :)
