So, I told you guys I was skating tonight, right?It was fun. I did two programs, one with my bestie Gina, and the other by myself.
The first one was a disaster. For me, anyway. Gina, being the amazing skater she is, did fabulous. I fell. Twice. It was an embarrassment. Which is why I'm only showing you the second one.
The second one was more of a fun, Christmas-themed routine. I got to wear this awesome Santa hat, LOL. :]
You guys better have nothing but nice things to say about my skating abilities!
I had to steal my friend's camera and upload this. And that wasn't easy.

The most amazing holiday in history of holidays is just two days away.Black Friday.
I don't know where you'll be going, but I know where I'll be going.
Unfortunately, Peoria has a large lack of good stores. It takes me a two-hour drive to get to the local Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters, which are in Decatur. And it takes me a three-hour drive to get to everything else, which is in Chicago. Living in the middle of nowhere sucks.
I guess I'll have to resort to those bargain stores like T.J. Maxx, Gordman's, and Marshall's. If you look really, really hard, they actually have some good stuff there. Which is probably why most of the girls at my school don't shop there. On the plus side, Peoria Secondhand is having a sale. You know, the store where I bought my infamous white Marc by Marc Jacobs flats for an incredibly fierce price of $11? Yeah, that's it. I'm sure I'll find something glamorous there.
btw, for those who care, next Saturday is the IVFSC Winter Show! I've been practicing my routine a lot lately. In fact, so much, that my feet are getting major blisters. I already have a dress, a routine, and a song. I'm so ready to outshine Matt Savoie. :]

I was at a basketball game a few hours earlier, and 70% of the girls on the bleachers were wearing fake UGGs and North Face jackets. Seriously, people. Does no one appreciate fashion for what it is anymore? The majority of the girls at my school think fashion means excessive shopping trips to Abercrombie & Fitch (that store is dead to me. You'll be surprised how much you hate a place once you finish working there) and Macy's. Not that I have anything against Macy's. But honestly. Creativity among preppy cheerleaders is a lost cause here.I've been ice skating more than ever these past few weeks. We're in preparation for the IVFSC Winter Show, which is a major event at the Civic Center; so major that Peoria-native, Olympic-Champion Matt Savoie, dubbed the "Pride of Peoria", is coming to perform. Yes, I said that without even one drop of excitement. Seriously. I've seen him fall during shows enough times to be convinced that he's not exactly the best. No offense.
Thanksgiving is just in a few weeks, which means we're one day closer to Black Friday! Black Friday is always exciting. There's that I-need-to-find-something-amazing feeling in your stomach, and the rush of post-Thanksgiving sales at Urban Outfitters and Gordman's. Every day we're one step closer to extravagant prices at our favorite stores. Of course, the worst feeling is the feeling after Black Friday has passed.
Yawn. I have to go. It's snowing outside right now. Winter sucks.
Don't worry, I'll be posting soon with lots of love.
xoxo, Lindsey.
