bleaugh...

Yeah, that word pretty much describes my life at the moment. Since I failed my history class (and I strongly suspect I failed English too) my mom's said that I can't be in the spring play at my school. That was almost a week ago. Well, on five of those days we've had at least one row, the last one having been Tuesday 'cause she also decided that I couldn't do a local community choir that I'm in and love going to. After she left I just railed at the empty house for like half an hour, about how shitty I feel because I can't do one of my few favorite activities -- acting, and how now she's even going after one of the others -- singing. Which is bad, 'cause even though I'm in one ofthe choirs at school, that's gone way downhill since my favorite-ever choir director quit to go to a different school, and the new one treats us like we've got no clue what we're doing, and that really pisses me off; that choir's gotten 1's at Festival, and here we are being treated like total shit. Goddammmit!!! So I can't do the drama either 'cause while it's true that I could do area theatre, I really can't because for that I'm going against far more experienced and older people, and with other groups, like the youth and family theatre, I don't like a good number of the people in there (they're in some of my classes) and I've heard horror stories of the director, so that's a no-go. Ugh! So I don't have any opportunities to do things that I'm passionate about (yes that sounded wrong, I'm well aware, thanks) and I haven't got any outlets for huge enormous energy and hormone-inspired emotions. And I've been reduced to yelling at empty houses! Ah I really need to shout and yell and scream and kick some walls (that's how I vent my violent side, 'cause that way I don't hurt anyone or myself -- you'd be surprised, kicking walls really doesn't hurt) and just get rid of some heavy duty emotions! But this is as good as it's gonna get, so...
That was long, I hope you'll forgive me; but I really needed to vent at something that wasn't going to rip me apart in return.
That is all.

Chem Study Party + J, J and me = Chem Study Party - Chem Study = PARTAY!

I feel...: mellow
Jammin' to: weezer *Beverly Hills*
Ha! It has not been two months!
So a couple of friends and I figured we'd have a little chemistry study party for our final next week, only we didn't do any studying. We were supposed to meet at like 1.30, but last moment changes of plan came along and I didn't get over to the friend's house that we were meeting at until like 2.30. Then it turned out that our other friend still wasn't ready, so friend 1 (this is confusing! friend 1 is now Jacqueline, the other is Juliette, 'kay? no, those are just their French names, sorry -- I'm not a name dropper) so Jacqueline decided that we should do my hair and makeup. You have to remember that I'm not really a look-pretty-just-for-the-hell-of-it kind of girl, so this was somewhat traumatic for me. Anywho, I came out of it for the better and Jacqueline had a field day at my expemse. Just as she finished, Juliette called and said she was *finally* ready. This was like 3.30 now. We were a good two hours behind our original schedule. We remembered, though, that knowing the three of us, we tend to run late unless whatever we have to be on time for is required, like school concerts, so we'd basically planned for it whether or not we meant to. At any rate we left to pick up Juliette, and she thought I looked pretty sweet. I just blushed and told her to shut the fuck up. So we returned to Jacqueline's house and sat there and played on the computer and pigged out on random snacks and had a blast. I sat there almost the whole time with Jacqueline's bunny Bella in my arms. Oh my God she's so cute! Awwww! Anyway, we had fun, but we didn't get any studying done. But we had fun! Who cares about the damn chemistry final?! Not us obviously!
God I write a lot. I'm tired now.
That is all.

Welcome to my Life/An Entry of "Epic Proportions"

I feel...: indifferent
Jammin' to: NOFX *Murder the Government*
Hey, first ever entry! Yeah, bfd...Nothing really going on here, just on a long, six-day weekend from school. A Muslim holiday, inservices for the teachers... I <3 my school district!!
Um... oh, found out that one of my crushes' girlfriend's brother is the one that broke into my church! Tad pissed off about that, he was in my English class last year and I thought he was pretty cool. A stoner and all, but still sorta cool. Jackass. Speaking of crushes, I told another of them that I like him about a week before Chrsitmas break. That went over well. He was just sorta like Oh, well, sorry but I like someone else. It's funny, I wasn't really disappointed or anything, I just felt better having gotten it out of my system. So we talked about that, and we're still friends and it's good. My other crush as some of you know is now in Iowa at school. Speaking of whom, I went to a wedding New Year's Eve, and one of the guys at the reception looked just like him, down to the teeth (you always expected him to sprout fangs when he smiled, that's probably why he played the title character in my school's production of Dracula a couple years ago -- and now everyone from school who reads this will know who I like. Damn)! It was really freaky, so I hijacked one of the disposable cameras that was on each of the tables and got a picture. The guy probably thought I was either drunk or on drugs. Don't know, Don't care. I got his picture! 'Kay, my last crush has a girlfriend and likes one of my other friends. That pisses me off too. Y'know, this whole boyfriend/dating thing is really turning me offa guys!!
Yeah, I really don't expect anyone to read this. Oh well, I don't care. But as I said before, one feels much better when one has an outlet for one's emotions.
Hey I'm talking like Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin now! Which reminds me, I'm into manga as well, 'specially RuroKen, FY: Genbu Kaidan, and Legal Drug.
That is all.

=============================


I feel...: amused
Jammin' to: Fort Minor *Where'd You Go*
Yes, two in one day! Now watch, I probably won't post again for another two weeks... hey, I never claimed I was consistent!
So anywho, to the reason for this update. I got home about an hour and a half ago from a show of Epic Proportions. No, the show's proportions weren't epic, that was the name of the play. At any rate, if you ever get the chance to see a production of this, go see it! It's fucking hilarious, there's these two brothers, Benny and Phil, who go to the Arizona desert to be extras in this huge Biblical epic called "Exuent Omnes!" (Latin for "Everybody Out!") As things move along, Phil falls in love with Louise, the director of extras, and things play out in that area. Eventually the tables are turned and it's Benny's turn to hide his and Louise's love life. Sibling rivalry ensues, and the "sea of extras" (four other people) revolt! It's great, you really must go see it. Actually, according to IMDb (yes, a shameless plug), there's a movie version of it due out I think this year. It's not cast yet, but what the hell. Knowing the play, I'm sure that the movie will be great!That's really all I wanted to share, I just had to get that down somewhere. Wow it's late, I really need to go to bed. Not that I have to get up early, but still, I've been having some serious allergy/sinus problems lately and sleep seems to be the best thing for it. And now that I've said that, I'll probably stay up till like one or something watching David Letterman and Craig Ferguson. God, those guys are hilarious! Watch them if you get te cahnce too. Really let you go to bed smiling whether or not you had a good day.
Um... yeah.
That is all.
