Rhinestones and White Chocolate


Why hello there! My name is Mary Austin; I’m currently 16 but will be 17 on February 12th, I share a birthday with Abraham Lincoln. I have a younger brother who is now a freshman, which makes me feel old, and he is an amazing baseball player. My dogs are my pride and joy. They are both yellow labs that are actually white. Sumter is 8 or 9 and he and I snuggle together on my bed and Bullet, who is 3, is well for lack of better words, challenged. Pretty much the most important thing in my life is: my friends. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without them. They are the people that keep me going no matter what. All in all, my life can be summed up in pretty much one word, dance.


Monday I completed my ninth and second last AP audition at my studio. We have an advance placement program which our version of a competition but we do more than just compete. I have been dancing since I was three but when I was eight I auditioned for the advanced placement program and I made it. I live and breathe dance, it is a cliché but one that is all too true. I had the honor of going to the Governor’s School for the Arts this past summer. I cried when I found out, yes I am that person.  It was AMAZING, painful, and totally worth it. I came home with what could have been a career ending injury, my hip started popping in and out of place uncontrollably, but its all good, for now. Dance is my life, and as trite as it sounds nothing else matters the second my foot makes contact with the floor. I choose this picture because it was taken the same day I found out I made it into GSA and although I was competing and had about 50 million detail and correction notes to remember, nothing mattered. I was dancing because its what I do, love, and all I know.

Now you're more than likely wondering what in the world my title is about, well fear no more! Rhinestones are my favorite thing ever. I love rhinestoning, whether it is hair pieces, picture frames, or skirts. I like sparkles a lot, and generally any gift I am given I will like as long as its sparkly. My favorite food is white chocolate. I enjoy eating white chocolate while watching TV or listening to music. There isn’t much to me really. www.itunes.com is what I ‘geek out’ on. It keeps me up at night and allows my to dance around my room, which is one of my favorite things to do. I would tell you my favorite song but it changes, daily. I also enjoy talking, if you haven’t caught on. I’m very much an open book with my life, with the exception of a few things. So go forth and do what you love because you love it and it feels right not because you have to.
