Because there are so many different types of music and so many amazing artists, I can't just choose one to introduce you to. One of my all time favorite bands, though, is called the Shiny Toy Guns, which have a techno-ish feel. Their best album is We Are Pilots, and the song "We are Pilots" actually got nominated in the Grammys. Another favorite artist of mine is Imogen Heap, also known as Frou Frou. Her work is absolutely amazing, and it's shocking how much she can do with just a laptop and her voice. Imogen Heap's sound is original and kind of different, but still inspiring none the less. If you get the chance, you should check her out.
Okay, so this is a reflection on the past two weeks. Last week was spring break, and I went on a trip with my church to Galveston, TX to fix up the houses that were hit by hurricane Ike six months ago. We re-roofed a house where an elderly lady lived, and it was amazing to see how much our work impacted the community alone. I must say, it was the most fun and gratifying experience I have ever encountered. (Also, at the end of our trip, my sister turned EIGHTEEN!!!! She's really old now, but I still love her anyways.)
This past week, the robotics team traveled to Houston, TX to compete in the FIRST competition. Since it's our first year, we're considered rookies, and because it's our first year, it was kind of crazy trying to compete with a lot of magnificent teams. I must say, we did pretty good for our first year, and managed to win two of our matches (I'm not telling you how many we lost :O).
Well, that's all for now, folks.

hey Olivia, I love music too I have no idea what I would do without it. Being a dancer too I have to say that music most definitely is a necessity. I really like both of those artist. I don't have any of their music but I have heard of them. I first heard of Frou Frou in the second Shrek movie actually, haha! Thats so cool that you went to go fix houses over spring break! I think its so important to help those around us, and its really cool that yo were able to make such a difference!
Olivia, you are absolutely right! Having some dance experience, music really helps, and dancing without music is just kinda blah, unless you are an amazing dancer. I haven't heard anything about Shiny Toy Guns, but I think that Frou Frou is amazing!! I think that it is neat how you went and fixed a whole house! Sounds fun!
