My Oscar at the Academy Awards

Last night, my school hosted the "Academy Awards." You could dress up however you wanted, including costume. Not a lot of people took the 'costume option.' A lot of people dressed up very nicely. I dressed up (nicely as I could) as Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. My hair was the most difficult, simply because it's hard to really get the piled-up look with a medium hair cut.

For those of you just joining in, I've only been at school for about a month, but you'll be quite pleased to know that in my usual 'Tara' fashion-- I'm taking things by storm. Hence, the gold 'chocolate' Oscar I won last night. How else can you explain it? The category was "Top Reasons to Become a Pastor." Although, there were some pretty clever ones when my nomination was read and I stood up sunglasses on looking Audrey Hepburnish and proclaimed (my prewritten response), "Muhahahhahah.... TO RULE THE WORLD.....one soul at a time." I received an abundant round of apalause for my heart-endearing performance. Which was followed by another ferocious round of appalause as my name was announced and I elegantly made my way to the podium.

I accepted with Sally Field's famous Oscar-receiving words, "You like me, you really like me!" I then proceeded to thank all the little people, and all the big people, since I'm at 5'3", most everyone is bigger than me. I now which I would have thanked all the little people.... especially the leprechauns, and the lil' fairies. Of course, the surprise of winning just completely took my breath away, and I hardly had time to think let alone ponder that great moment.

I truly would like to thank the academy, and you, my loyal friends and supporters for the privelege and honor of this great reward. It is truly inspiring!
