Thumpity thump thump.

Valentines day is tomorrow; I know that because my heart won't stop going thumpity thump thump. See, I have this condition where around this time of year my organs start metamorphosing into about twenty thousand butterflies. Each time it's a different species of butterfly, and this year it was the Plaided Canadian. This species will remain dormant for most of the day, until they are in close proximity to a plaid-wearing Canadian, when they will flap their little wings as fast as they possibly can.

It makes me look like this:



Yeah, not really a picture of beauty there.

And I just happen to know a plaid-wearing Canadian this year too! Who just loves to stand in close proximity to me. And pretend to flirt with me. But thankfully, ze doesn't like to hug people much.

But I'm starting to like hir hugs.

And I wanted to tell this person that I like them before Valentines day, but due to nerves and an unfortunate display of events, I'm going to have to go with the cliche route of telling hir how I feel on that day.

So I will be going into school tomorrow, armed with a bag of Halls and my best friends poking at me saying "you can do it!" and then when I get up to hir my support will leave and I'll be a crumpled mess of nerves on the ground.


Sometimes I just want trade my heart with someone else's. Just once.
I really hate Valentines Day.

Those With Little Get Great Things, Those With Great Things Get Little

The Romeo and Juliet Cast-list was posted today~ I'm the head of the Montague Chorus, but that's not what I want to talk about.

Okay, so if you would actually look at the title of my post, you'd notice that it seems a bit complex, but it's just saying this:
If you don't have much, when you get something small it's amazing, but when you're used to big things and you get something small you think of it as disappointing and stupid, instead of actually appreciating it.

Sadly, there are even upperclassmen of mine who still do this. As a poor girl livin' in a run down shack of a house, I know what it's like to go through bankruptcy and having to use my allowance and college funds when I was little to pay the bills. I'm just a freshman who hasn't gotten many good parts in my life, so when I get to say one line in a play I get all warm and giggly inside. But some people I know HAVE gotten great roles, and still want more more more instead of just trying to get a part in general. And then they get all "I should have gotten that role; I can't live on!" when they get a minor part.

Boo hoo. Just go and sit in your corner and cry your damn eyes out, and leave the rest of us alone.

...Wow that sounded bitchy, but damn, it's true. I mean, just be happy you got a part, and be good sport. Who knows, you might be allowed in the spotlight again later on. Don't just go and think you're all that and a bag of awesome.

Ugh now I'm just ranting. Congrats to everyone who got into the show though! Lets make this good!

Your Grace Is Wasted In Your Face, Your Boldness Stands Alone Among The Wreck

Okay, so apparently I died around December 11th, and have just been reborn recently. I'll just go with that instead of apologizing for not posting anything over winter break. I wouldn't be exagerating much though if I said that I sat on my arse all of winter break.

Because really all I did was eat, watch anime, sleep, and open presents. FML, no life.

But after watching every episode of Katekyo Hitman Reborn! and becoming my mom's pajama model, school started up and I finally had to revive myself from my sluggish state to take on the responsibility of a life again.

SO, up to the present, there's three cool things I want to talk about, in order of... well, there's no real order, but still, here;s the three things.

1) Cake.
Okay, so I'll try and make this short. One of the days my friend's mom was taking me and her to school, there was this song on the radio. And it was called Never There by Cake. Now, I don't know if you know this, but it's one of the coolest newer songs I've heard in a while. And I just love their sound. Now, you might know their more popular song Short Skirt/Long Jacket, which is pretty cool too (though not one of my favourites). I highly suggest though that you listen to Never There, Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps, and Short Skirt/Long Jacket, because after that you will love them. Unless you hate things that are awesome. Like explosions.

2) Romeo and Juliet.
Yup, back to the old CET, I suppose. This time we're doing Romeo and Juliet, that hilarious love story that's really more of a comedic tragedy. I auditioned for the Prince, and didn't get called back, though there wasn't a callback list for the Prince since he's a minor role. But I have high hopes that I'll get the part, or that I'll get Sampson. You know, the "I bite my thumb, sir, but I do not bite my thumb at you, sir" guy. I'll totally make him a sex god and be so amazing at it that Quinn'll be forced to make him show up more in the play /heavy sarcasm. Yeah, acting isn't one of my best talents, I know, but at least I have fun doing it. And some people really liked my Prince thing, so maybe I have shot. I dunno, I'm really just self-pity-rambling now, so I'll shut up.

3) My website.
Yuppers, I've got a website. Well, sorta. It's a google site, and it's pretty awesome so far. I'm probably gonna have a blog on there too, which will probably be more of "what happened today" instead of "what's on my mind". Here's a link to it, so you can just run along and check it out, mkay?

TL;DR: I'm obsessed with the band Cake, I tried out for Romeo and Juliet, and I made a Google Site.

AND PS IF YOU CARE TO KNOW, the song that the title of this post is from is Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons. Check them out too, they're great.

Terrors of Tech Week.

Sorry guys for not posting recently. But there's been no time, because it's TECH WEEK. Yup. Tech week, when I don't get home till after 9PM every night, and have to rush to get homework done. It really, really sucks, though it can be sorta fun. Yesterday we got through a run of our show, and the Skid Row Chorus, including me, got to learn what we're doing for the pre-show.

Today is our last rehearsal! AHHHHHH we're doomed. Well, hopefully it goes well. Actually, if we all did our practicing at home, it would be splendid. But there are still people who say "I just don't have TIME to go over my notes" even though I'm sure they have some time between classes to sing as their walking or something.

On another note, I'm considering when I should tell the person I like that I like them... I mean, I want to just tell them now, but I also want to get closer to them first as a friend.

Days that start out good but end up bad.

Okay, so remember how in my last post I said my teacher was going to yell at me for not finishing my homework? Well this caused me to freak out last night, and be really worried in the morning. Barely got any sleep cause of this. But then, the world decided to like me. My teacher put off the due date till the end of the week. HUZZAHHHHHH. I nearly cried from happiness.

That day went on pretty freaking well, for the most part.

Rehearsal....it could've gone better, but it was pretty interesting.

Then I get home, and my mom's throwing a semi-drunken temper tantrum. Ugh. Why did life decide to go from being happy and sparkly to dead and gross. And I had to read a few chapters of The Catcher In The Rye, but I could only get through a few pages because of my mom interrupting my focus.

This night was made ten times better by my friend Erin though. When her and I shared Harry Potter parody songs, it made my night. Or day. Or week. Pick between the two, but those songs were hilarious.

((As a side note that I just thought I'd share with you, my dad is watching South Park right now. Many times before I liked the show did he ask me to watch it with him. This is why my dad is awesome.))

Mold spores are not fun.

It's true. Try not to ever end up with a moldy-smelling blanket as your cuddle buddy in a small, partially enclosed area. It stinks, makes you dizzy, and will give you a cold.

Ugh.

Hopefully this cold-like-thing will go away by tomorrow, cause I didn't finish my movie review and I want to be fully alert when my teacher yells at me.

Sorry for the crappy post, just wanted to write something before going to bed. Nigh y'allsies. <3
