I am sorry I haven’t been posting lately. You all must be so dissapointed in me. I notice that someone (or someoneS) checked my blog 12 times on Thursday. Congratulations whoever you are. Also, the same someone also checked Savita’s blog, www.sungirlsav.blog.com thank you so much. Even though she hardly ever posts (you know, the busy life of a seven year old), it meant ALOT to her to see that someone at least checked.

So, while you all do fabulous and meaningful things for me, I am off chasing rainbows, literally, and I caught one! I auditioned for Finian’s Rainbow, a less-known musical being put on by Arena Civic Theater. And… Drumroll…… I GOT IN! I am going to be a featured dancer, due to my apparantly stunning dance segment of the audition. I would have gotten some sort of fabulous singing thing too, but the piano lady mead me sing the OTHER song, the one that I DO NOT like because it is basically about making out in the sky. And I am also kind of bad at it, too. But inspired by Tash’s ever-perseverant songlifted spirit, I pressed on throughout the song, cleverly editing the lyrics on the spot to spare myself the curious glances of any stray adult who happened to be passing. AND I MADE IT! AND I WILL BE PERFORMING IN OCTOBER! But here is the wonderful part: WITH MY MOM AND TWO SISTERS ONE OF WHICH HAS NEVER, EVER BEEN IN A SHOW AND SHE IS SO EXCITED AND SO AM I!!!!!

Ok, that is news 1. Now for news 2.

I GOT A WEEK-LONG SUMMER JOB! It is only 3 and a half hours at the beginning of each day for a week, but I am gatting paid alot! And all I have to do is play piano accompaniments for book one and two-ers at a Suzuki violin, cello and viola institute! I will be somewhat closer to my monetary goal for buying a…. HARP!

News 3 is that I might play harp.

News 4 is….. After my summer job mornings I will go to African Dance And Drumming camp with my FAVORITE earthy-crunchy teacher EVER! Actually, she is my favorite teacher ever besides my mommy. (Earthy-crunchy is not meant to categorize you, Kalpana, if you happen to read this, but it is meant to very unaccurately illustrate you to random people who have no clue how amazing you are. I just don’t think they would get it.)

News 5….. This summer I am going to buy this tounge stud (NO NOT REAL!) In Cape Cod where they have a huge artificial-body-piercings shop. So don’t fear me when I have a “pierced” tounge. I just need it for fun days.

Ok. I have a test for you: STOP AVOIDING FACT. My mom was talking about my grandfather’s “thing”. What the fruit is a ‘thing’?!?!? It’s called a STROKE. It is not a swear. It is not dangerous. If you say it, you won’t get jinxed! Look: STROKE STROKE STROKE. Woo I just saw a really pretty bird.

So stop avoiding reality. It totally screws up the universe and it makes me mad.

Sincerely (and REALISTICALLY) yours, Kimaya, your only Indian Diva.

1. Ok, I am going to do a nice post for Amara and Jillian now. You should bookmark my blog for whenever either of you arre suffering from low self-esteem.

Amara’s:

Amara is the coolest because she is not afraid to share her innermost  thoughts and feelings. She lets me read her beautiful poems. She always listens to me when I’m being dorky and/or randomly stupid (pretty often), and she doesn’t go leaping after guys who are cute, like I do, before I have any clue. Amara picks guys to like who are special (to her, not often to me). She likes people for who they are, not for who they look like they should be. She is friends with people who are caring and individually interesting. She explains double meanings of seemingly innocent words and phrases to me, who has no clue, so that I don’t scare too many people at one time, and she is funfunfun.

Jillian’s:

Jillian is fantabulous because she is always willing to offer contsructive critisism. No, I am not labeling you as a cynic, Jilsy. I’m just saying that you always have the best advice. You are always so motivated. Jillian has that best 6th sense. She can always tell who is worth befriending. She always knows when people are talking trash behind your back. And she’ll always tell you, but not until she has a plan…

HeyGuessWhat?!?!?!?!

My birthday is in 9 days!!!!! May 5th!!!!! I am so exited, for two reasons:

1. I AM GOING TO BE A TEENAGER! (you have to go waaayyyy back to figure out why I’m sooooooooooooooooooo happy).

2. I love birthdays. Any guesses why? Ha, because I love attention. I bask in it. Attention is close to godliness… (get it? As in ‘cleanliness is close to godliness?’)

Oh, before I go, I just want to thank Hannah a.k.a Hannie, a.k.a. Pillow for making me write happy things. I just love it. It makes me all happy-positive!!!!

If you speak Spanish, or you check you calendar often, you will see that May 5th is also called Cinco de Mayo, fifth of May. I think it’s some sort of independence day. Forgive me for not knowing.

My favorite things about being born on Cinco de Mayo, is that

1. On my birthday, I know that a whole bunch of people are celebrating too. For a different reason, but I think it just adds a reat amount of happiness to ‘my’ day.

2. My dad has an old vinyl record that has my song on it: ‘Cinco de Mayo… cha cha cha!’ and we always dance to it on my birthday.

I once saw a shirt (one which I am desperately and fruitlessly trying to find online) that said “I’m a cinco de Mayo baby!”, depictin 5 jars of white substance labeled as MAYO! Isn’t that just hilaious!?! I have always wanted that shirt.

There is this great website that I saw some funny shirts on  www.noisebot.com it has one that says “save a tree, eat a beaver”, “conserve water, drink wine”…

AHHH, I have to go now….. be sure to visit noisebot, and post, telling me what your faves are!

xooo, Kimy

Hi Everyone! I think you should all learn about Hanna Yee.

First of all, I have known Hannah since I was in preschool. Her name is a palindrome. Isn’t that the coolest thing that you ever heard? I have always wanted a palindrome name, like Kayak.

Hannah is the BEST person on her ultimate team. I went to watch one of her games, and she caught 3 AMAZINGINCREDIBLE catches. She was like, zooming around.

Another reason why Hannah is soooooo great is that everyone likes her. Hannah has 0% enemies, if I am not mistaken. The only people who probably don’t like her are the little people who she beat in soccer. Everyone just has to love Hannah. Not because she’s all ‘boy-crazy’ or ‘understanding’, but because she is 110% FUN!

Also, Hannah is an incredible athlete. Even my dad says so, and he rarely says that, so Hannah, you are totally awesome! She is magically good at everything (exept wearing dresses)… Maybe she practices!

I am terrified of playing ultimate because I fractured my jaw last summer playing. But Hannah is like (ok, Hannah, I know you will hate me for comparing you to a princcess) a Warrior Princess.

Hannah is just the funnest person you could ever meet. Also, she is soooo observant. She knows more about Amara than Amara knows! Isn’t that hilarious!?!? She knows everything that’s going on with everyone, and she’s friends with all the really fun people, too. If you need a fun person, you should just run over to Hannah’s house and be all happy.

Also, her dad owns 2 restaurants. Isn’t that soooo cool? When I was little, I used to LOVE playing ‘restaurant’, and serving my mom water ‘tea’ and cracker ‘cakes’. So I think owning  a restaurant is the coolest thing ever.

Hannah, if I missed something, just email me, and I will certainly add it!

Love,

Kimaya, The Indian Diva

Dear Everyone,

       I MISS YOU!!!!!!

I went to NEFFA yesterday, and I took Sara and Niki Sremac, but I wish I could have taken everyone! We drove the 1.5 hour drive sleeping, because we left at 8:00 and we still weren’t on school time. When we got there, my mom dropped us off, and went to be with Bapu in Boston. 

I am really bad at cutting out details, so I will just say that we did beginner contra dances, for Sara and Niki to get comfy, then we moved on to the BIG contra dances.

Niki and Sara have found a new passion: contras. It’s a good thing to be additced to. We did about 5 10-minute dances in the lower hall, then Niki and my dad did 3 20-minute dances in the main hall. Main hall contras are as hard as it gets.

Then we went shopping to buy stuff. Niki, after searching forever, got two marbled paper bookmarks, a job offer to work at the marbled paper place, and a beautiful, classic pair of earrings that had Israeli money on them.

Makeda got a bunch of litle purses, and Savita got a cute blue and purple skullcap and a racoon iron-on patch that she promptly pinned on.

Sara got a gorgeous tiny moon necklace made of porcelain, with a fire ruby at the top, and an amber hairstick. I got a matching hairstick, but with a glass emerald, and two earcuffs, one a plain silver one, and one shapedlike a tiny man. His name is NEFF. I also got a job offer, by a Shutesbury shoemaker, to embroider 50 shoes in exchange for a pair of custom shoes (YES! AT LAST!), and possibly, a lasting job!

Can you belive that’s it in a nutshell?

Wait, I lied, there’s more. You want to know what we ate, right? Mostly Italian ice, pasta, and Burek, a Serbian cheese pie.

You know what? Munson library in Amherst has contras every Friday and Saturday at the beginnings and ends of months. If you email me your number (those who I am referring to all have my email), and I will call you when they happen.

They are SO fun! And, they’re easy as–well, not pie, since making it is so hard– easy as walking. Because if you can walk, you can contra. All you have to know is balance and swing, two figures, which you can learn in one minute.

And guess what? Even if you don’t give me your number, I’m STILL calling you, because, yeah it is SOOOOOOOO fun!!!!!

LOOOOVVEEE YOU ALL TRILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF TRUCKLOADS!!!!!!
