Car issue #I don't know

So Tuesday nightish I'm heading to PCOM for my TAing job with a stretching and traction class and I notice smoke coming from under the hood of my car. I pray really hard that I make it to school and right as I pull into the parking lot my oil light comes on. I'm thinking 'this isn't good' and grab 1 of the 2 quarts of oil I have in the back of my car and set it on my seat to put in after class. 4 hrs later I'm done with class and I come out and I check my oil and the dip stick is dry...no oil on it at all. I add the quart and call my dad but he doesn't answer so I call Mommy and she told me to find the nearest gas station. I'm in the process of driving when my dad calls me and we chat about my car doing this odd thing. I get to a Shell and get 3 more quarts of oil and put them in. I check the dip stick again and its still dry. Thankfully there was a shift change of cashiers in the market because I went back in and bought 10 quarts of oil, the guy looked at me like I had 2 heads. He probably thought I was putting it in the wrong place since a normal car takes about 4 to 5 quarts and I got 10. So dad and I decided that i was going to play hop-scotch until I got home, so I drove about 5 minutes and stopped again and checked the oil...pretty much nothing on the dip stick so I added 3 more quarts. I drove another 10 mins and stopped...same thing. So now Daddy asks me to start the car and look to see if I can see where it's leaking. By this time my engine is covered literally everywhere with oil but there's one spot that I can see that's dripping. I move around the front of my car and i can see a steady stream of oil about as thick as a pen spouting from somewhere inside that I can't see. I tell him what i see and he meets me at my next stop and follows me home. So, the normal drive home takes me an hour...it took me 2 1/2 hours, 7 stops and 22 quarts of oil to get home and it was 12:22 when I parked my car at home. It turned out to be that my oil sensor had a crack in it and was thinking there wasn't oil so it stayed 'on' the whole time. Daddy was able to fix it yesterday and we both made it home safe. The next day Mommy and I went to the fair because I was dancing there with San Diego Ballet and we could pretty much follow my oil trail home coming up Lake Wohlford Grade. So if anyone sees large oil puddles on the grade, that's me!!

rocks on the side of the house...
and that's pretty much how it looked the whole way

So Miss Ann, my very first ballet teacher, asked me to dance with her in her summer recital entitled Legends & Superstars. I said of course and started thinking about a legend or a superstar that I would either like to depict of dance to one of their songs. I've always liked Michael Jackson's music and after picking one of my favorite songs and making sure it wasn't already being used, I started choreographing to it. I've never heard of anyone doing a pointe dance to a Michael song so this will be a first :) A friend of mine who did competition for a long time told me that I should add one of his key trademarks into my costume. Apparently he most always had a rhinestoned glove on his right hand so she had the idea of me rhinestoning my right pointe shoe and see who caught on about it. Well now all you who read my blog will know, but don't tell anyone ;) So on Saturday, June 9th, I'll be dancing to Michael Jackson's Bad with a rhinestoned pointe shoe and attempting to moonwalk in them. Michael, I hope I don't make you roll over in your grave after this...for those of you who would like to, please come watch, it should be good ;)
