What if I sang like Brooklyn Shuck?
What if I'd taken dance in elementary school?
Would my life be different?
What if I'd never stepped into the barn at Windhover?
What if I'd never jumped a horse?
What if Miss Sara wasn't my (amazing) teacher?
What if I were still scared?
What would I look like?
What if I'd never had Ms. Avera in fourth grade?
What if I never wrote a poem?
What if I were still a freshman?
How different would I be?
What if I were never in youth choir?
What if I didn't meet Calla at AWANA?
What if Clara were someone else's sister?
Who would I talk to now?
What if I'd refused to go to that first audition?
What if I never went to that play?
What if I never met Graham Pilotte?
Where would I be?
What if I memorized verses with as much zest as I memorize Shakespeare?
What if I really got up early to read my Bible for more than twenty minutes?
What if I wondered what Jesus would do every second of my life?
Would my life be different?
I can't answer every question, but I know that I am about to find out about those.
Much love,
Heidi
EXCUSE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IF YOU HAD NEVER MET ME?????????????????????
ReplyDeleteI beg you to take that as gently as possible. :) It comes with great respect for your amazing poetry writing. :)
Umm, If I had never met you then... ... then what? ;^)
ReplyDeleteThen a lot of things! Look, Sweetheart, i wasn't the one writing the poem. You tell ME what. :)
ReplyDeleteAll i'm saying (again with great gentleness) is that if you had never gone to youth choir, if you had never met Calla at AWANA, and if Clara was someone else's sister, there would still be me! That's who you would talk to! :)
Heidi I know what would happen if you sang like Brook What's-Her-Name.
ReplyDeleteYOUR VOICE WOULD ACTUALLY NOT BE THE SAME!
Earth shattering, right?
-Cinderella, The Blonde
I don't know who Brooklyn whatever is. Let me guess, Broadway. (most likely Newsies.)
ReplyDeleteAnd if Heidi doesn't respond to me soon, i'm going to have a heart attack. :) Jk. I know that she's busy. So am i...so why do i have the time? :)
I don't think Brooklyn Corn Shuck is from Newsies, because the main girl is played by Keira Lindsey (Linsey?) (Lindsay?) and I doubt Heidi knows the names of all the nuns.
ReplyDeleteA heart attack? When? Let me know, so I can help you make out your will. To me, of course.:-D
Maybe you aren't as busy as you should be. Maybe you're wasting your time on this blog.
~Cinderella, Mrs. Charming.
One the contrary, i bet that she does know the names of all of the nuns. :) I still think that that person is from Broadway.
ReplyDeleteYou wish! :)
Me? Wasting my time? Excuse me, but i think it was thou who posted most of the 25+ comments on that other post. :) Besides, i must use my every bit of free time wisely!
Oh oh oh wait! I think Brooklyn Aw Shucks might be in Broadway's Annie. Correct?
ReplyDeleteBe careful, Sister, or you might kick yourself out of my mind when MY time comes. :^P
Where are you getting the wisdom to use your time wisely? Certainly not from your head.
~Cinderella, Castle Decorator.
What does "one the contrary mean"?
ReplyDeleteHeidi do you know the names of the nuns?
~Cinderella, The Kind And Gentle.
See? You can't see the real symbolism in books! You don't even know how to read over simple typos!
ReplyDeleteI've got no idea if Brooklyn-whats-her-name is in Annie. Unlike your sister, i don't have the cast memorized. :)
I take serious offense to that. I may be young, but i'm not going to let you despise my youth. Especially not since you're younger. :)
Despise your youth? Might you mean disparage your youth? I'll DESPISE anything I pleas. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm not certain bout Annie, but Heidi is writing a letter to someone in Annie and it could be her. . .
I see many things, thank you very much.
~Cinderella, One Time Maid.
I get the typo thing and I'll point out my mistake before you do. I said pleas instead of please. Though pleas is a word, as well as please, and they're pronounced the same way too.
ReplyDelete~Cinderella, Who Nevermore Will Do Any Housework.
I know! I caught it!
ReplyDeleteOh, so that's what Heidi is doing, is it? Who is this Annie person to whom she is writing? I didn't know that she knew anyone on Broadway. Now I know for sure that she has ditched me for someone else. Someone more famous, is it?:)
Oh yes. Much more famous. Fame and Fortune, you know?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. Too bad that i couldn't be famous enough for her to want to stay my best friend. :(
ReplyDeleteWell, get in a movie. Or write some books that are best-sellers. That ought to put you on her page.
ReplyDeleteAnd email me the answer to my question.
ReplyDeleteTrust me, it will benefit you.
ReplyDeleteBy the way A Mcfarland said he didn't usually eat that many cheese balls, it was for his birthday party. Don't know if I believe him or not. . .
ReplyDeleteSo he did eat that many cheeseballs at his birthday party...:) I e-mailed you, trust me. Now you know how i feel with your sister. :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, okay, but when I posted that you had not; I know because I checked right before I posted.
ReplyDeleteI know, i know. :)
ReplyDeleteNow i know how Heidi feels. :)
ReplyDeleteYou ought to. You deserve it. Do you like snow globes?
ReplyDeleteYes...and in the world of random questions...:)
ReplyDeleteGood. Random questions? Who's talking?
ReplyDelete~Cinderella.
I didn't even ask a question! You're the one who randomly asked me if I liked snowglobes.
ReplyDeleteAnd I like anything better if it's hobbit themed...jk.:)
That would be Hobbit themed. What about a life sized Hobbit poster?
ReplyDeleteUm...like a cardboard cutout? That could be taking it a bit far...:)
ReplyDeleteHow about Justin Bieber? I know you can buy life size posters of him, like to put on your door. Do you have Bieber Fever? If so, that's a great way to show everyone about it.
ReplyDeleteThat was Me! Me! Me!
ReplyDeleteAs in Cinderella.
ReplyDeleteUmm...no, i don't. How would you know all of this about Justin Beiber merchandise?
ReplyDeleteYou mean "I don't." And it's Bieber, not Beiber. Ha ha! We sometimes get sent this birthday party catalog, with all these birthday party supplies, and the parties have different themes. Once or twice there was this entire Justin Bieber themed party and one of the things you could buy was this Justin Bieber door poster (blech, and the pictures of models for this party were worse). I thought it might fit you.
ReplyDeleteOh, we used to get that magazine, to. Yep, that's my dream party alright...
ReplyDeleteOh good, I'll buy it for you then. I also know that I can get you a Justin Bieber tree ornament, want that?
ReplyDelete~Cinderella.
Ummmmmmmmmmmmm....you could probably do better. :)
ReplyDeleteI could? Uhhhhhhhhh... I know! Tony Simpson? Or One Direction? I could get you a 1D notebook. Or I could get you One Direction toothpaste, should I buy it?
ReplyDeleteIsn't it Cody Simpson? Uh...yeah i definitely want to see those weirdos as i brush my teeth in the morning...
ReplyDeleteI definitely and I brush, not i definitely and i brush. Cody Simpson, Tony Simpson, Toby Simpson, Bart Simpson, nuance... whatev. Or I found out that they are having a 1D concert and the tickets will be available on August thirtieth; I could stay up till 12:00 AM to make sure I get you some if you wish.
ReplyDeleteNo space between...and whatev. I see that my slang has influenced you. :) Yeah, that would be real exciting...should I sign you up?
ReplyDeleteI won't be in town... but you and Korie could go. Better yet, you and Heidi. She'd really enjoy it. Tell her I said so.
ReplyDeleteOh, definitely. I'm sure that she would. Remember how she and Emma Chandler sneaked out to see Justin Beiber one night after BCPE and then she made up the excuse of being sick? :)
ReplyDeleteOh oh oh, yes I do! But she'd have to decide whether she preferred Justin Bieber or them dullards. She couldn't like both.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Good point. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd your grammar is terrible.
ReplyDeleteSee if she wanted to stay friends with Emma, she'd have to choose JB. But in wanting to be friends with you... I'd go with JB. Also, aren't 1D becoming more popular than JB? And JB's only one guy, but there's five of 1D, so that would be a guy for each of you and three more for you to parcel out among your friends...
ReplyDeleteI meant to say for being friends with you I'd go with 1D.
ReplyDeleteYours is definitely worse.
ReplyDeleteOh it is, is it? Your above paragraph had almost not grammatical qualities at all. But you're right about bands. Which will it be Heidi, Emma or me? Clara, do you want to marry a guy named Liam? :)
ReplyDeleteWell, "almost not grammatical" is even worse.
ReplyDeleteUm, like no! Yet I've heard you talking in your sleep, and I know...
I meant "almost no grammatical".
ReplyDeleteOh, do you? :)
I know many things, and have been to many sleepovers at your house, and gotten up while you were asleep, and so have had ample time to snoop around in your room...
ReplyDeleteHave you really? I'll have to set a guard on my room. :)
ReplyDeleteWho would guard your room? If you lock it, I know where I can get the key, and failing that, I know that Mary Kate's key also works on your room...
ReplyDeleteOh do you? The locking mechanism is so easy, i'm sure that i could jamb it up.
ReplyDeleteBut I could pick the lock, or I could bribe Andrew for admission to his room, which connects to yours...
ReplyDeleteHmmm...let me think about that...he's MY brother!
ReplyDeleteBut I've got more money to offer him... and besides, I don't have to ask him. I could just use one of the keys on his door. Then go through the bathroom to your room.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you getting into my room, again? I've forgotten. :)
ReplyDeleteThe point is, I have already gotten in to find out that you are in love with a guy named Nialls (if not A. M.), and you are saying I couldn't get in again, and I'm assuring you that I can. You can N. E. V. E. R. keep me out.
ReplyDeleteI do not like him! All of One Direction can go down the drain, for all I care. I doubt you could find evidence in my room of me being in love with anyone, particularly no A.M. :)
ReplyDeleteOn A. M., I would only have to get your computer, get onto Daylily and Rose, find comments for What If, and if I did it all in your room that would be proof from your room, because those comments are definitely proof...
ReplyDeleteThey probably will go down the drain, and you'll probably mourn their absence.
