So Michelle and I (being the awesome people we are) decided to write a blog. Why? I don't know. Pretty much on a whim and because we figured we have a lot to talk about. So, sitting in ELA today, while we were supposed to be quiet and working on limericks, instead we came up with a name for our blog. (Ms. Wilkie, if you ever read this, please don't kill us!) We were playing around with a few things and we decided on The Life and Times of Jo and Amy. Now this name might seem strange to you, but there's a reason why we chose it...
Last year, Michelle and I along with a couple other friends decided to join the school musical. In it, we were both in a scene from the movie "Little Women". Michelle was Jo and I was Amy. We thought this casting was hilarious because...
1. First of all, i am nothing like Amy. Amy is blond, pretty, self-centered, artistic, and only cares about her looks. I am none of those things. In fact, I'm terrible at drawing, have dark brown hair and eyes, a complete nerd, and, (I think), not self-centered.
2. However, Michelle was cast perfectly. She is so much like Jo.
3. Our costumes were full length dresses from the civil war era. I had to wear an apron.
4. We had to talk all proper. Something we NEVER do. (What happened to "Hey, what's up?")
So that's the back story behind the name. Anyway, check here for more posts about us and our life. Michelle and I will switch off writing, so you'll get to meet her too. Don't be shocked if she's more...strange than I am. (just kidding Michelle..... cough...no I'm not....)So stay tuned!
Shreya (Amy)
