La la la... today was a good day and it will be a good evening/night as well!  :)  Yay!

I got up and went to Great Books to Great Music where we watched the first act of Marriage of Figaro which was actually pretty amusing... I may ask Tony if I can borrow it to watch the rest.  Anyways, then I sat thru Jazz History, which was uneventful but the stuff about Clifford Brown was semi-interesting.  Then Laura did my hair and she and Monica and I headed to Chorus where we SANG!  Then, since we got out early, I headed down to College Ave. to find the restaurant that I had an interview at, then I ran home & changed and headed to my interview at 3.  The interview was really fun and Ben and I talked about music and musicals and our favorite singers for better than half of the time we talked.  I would be so excited if I got the job!  I wanna be a singing server!!

Anyways, tonight I don't have to go to Theatrix and so Cameron, Laura, Andy and whoever else shows up, and I are going to Dollar Tuesday - yay!!

So I'm off to chat with peoples, eat my Subway and continue re-reading Harry Potter 5 until Cameron shows up.

Later!

I'm awake so I can do the Friday Five, of course!  (Actually, I'm awake because my scheduling advisor is a crackmonkey who likes to make his appointments WAY too early in the morning, so I'm stuck at school until my first class at 1 p.m., and it's only 9:15!)

Okay, now, for my actual post...

Yesterday I overslept (again!) and missed Great Books To Great Music.  It's kinda funny actually... I woke up at 8 a.m. and said, "Nooo I'm tired!" so I reset my alarm for 8:15 but I didn't click the alarm on (something I didn't realize at the time).  So I crawled back into bed and went back to sleep and woke to the sound of my cel phone ringing.  I went to answer it and, as I was talking with Mom, I glanced at the clock: 9:45!  Seeing as how my first class starts at 9:30, well... oops!  So I got up and got ready for my 11 a.m. class and headed to school in time for that.  I went to Jazz History (11) and Choir and then I headed home to get some stuff done before opening night of The Diary of Anne Frank.  I left home and went to the Fails' at about 5 (after stopping for dinner at Wendy's) and we played Shapoo until about quarter after, when we headed over to the theatre to reset the light board (yes, that's the third time.).  The show went off without much of a hitch... aside from George (the cat) trying to escape from his crate and dragging it halfway across the stage in the middle of a very serious scene... and the lightboard randomly blurting at me... it went pretty well.  Hopefully tonight will be better.  After the show, we sat around in the lobby waiting for everyone to leave.  Then I took Jay and Cameron home and went home myself, where I talked to Nichole and Dan online for awhile, finished reading The Baby-Sitters Club: Snowbound!, and then went to sleep.  So far, today has been uneventful and I am tempted to go back home and sleep until my 1 p.m. class... hmmm... sleeeeeep.

SO today is Wednesday and, I know! I know! I didn't post yesterday. 

DARN, live without me for a day, will ya?  

AS if anyone missed my melodrama!

ANYWAYS, yesterday was Tuesday and I went to school where I listened to Tony talk about Marriage of Figaro in Great Books to Great Music, failed a test in Jazz History and sang in Choir. 

THEN, I went to Perkins with Nichole and Laura where I ate food that I didn't really need. 

AFTER that, Laura dropped Nichole and I off at school where I helped Adrienne re-program the lightboard (we thought!). 

THEN, we wasted time until Theatrix (doing what?  I don't remember). 

SOMETIME during rehearsal, Cameron showed up.  ONCE rehearsal was over (went pretty well, yes it did), Cameron, Nichole and I headed over to Cameron's where we waited for Andy to show up and then went to Perkins where I ate more food that I didn't really need. 

AFTER we all ate and taught Andy how to play Shapoo, we went to Valley Value where we saw Pirates of the Caribbean (YAY JOHNNY DEPP AND ORLANDO BLOOM!), savvy? 

THEN, Nichole, Cameron and I all squashed into the truck and drove back to Cameron's where Nichole and I got into my car and drove her home. 

SO, it was about 12:30 before I headed home.  IT was really really froggy, er, foggy out so I drove ssslllllllooooooooowwwwlllllllyyyyyyy. 

AROUND 12:45, I got home and went downstairs where I talked to Monica and Allan for awhile before going to bed at 1:18.

TODAY, I woke up at 8, looked at the clock, said, "Uh, no" and went back to sleep until 9:20. 

THEN, I went to Ear Training where I sang and solfegged and such. 

AFTER class, I went with Adrienne to run errands and we went to the mall where I bought a keychain that says, "Start walking.  You missed your little yellow bus." and we stopped to say 'High!' to Louis. 

AT about 12:30, we headed back to school where she went to meet with Susan to be advised and I went to Theory.

SOMETIME around 1:15, Melissa and I realized that we didn't have class today (class usually starts at 1... nrr).

SO, I hung out in the ER until I found Nichole around 3 and then we went into the theatre where Adrienne found us and we fixed the light cues for Anne Frank again, or so we thought.

AROUND 4, kids started showing up for rehearsal, which went fairly well but didn't end til almost 9:30.

AFTER rehearsal, I came home where I am now entering an entry into my blog before going to sleep and getting a decent night's rest.

GOOD night!

hahahah, i crack myself up...

let's see.. i don't recall when i last really posted so i will catch up on what happened this weekend.  friday night we played d&d (we being cameron, adrienne, jay, mike, louis & shannon) and no one got shot, which is good.  prior to playing d&d, mike came over and we watched dogma so that was kinda fun.  so friday consisted of school, movies & d&d (til 1 a.m.).  saturday i wasn't feeling well so i didn't go to theatrix in the morning.  in the afternoon, monica came over and then we went to perkins with nichole and cameron and eventually chris showed up.  then we headed over to appleton west to see rags which, well, was an interesting show.  some of the music was weird and monica and i decided that the strings didn't tune so that they could sound more jewish.  after the show, we went to ihop where laura joined us.  then cameron, monica and i headed back to my house, around 11:30 and monica took him home.  i went and slept.  yay sleep.  sunday i got up around 10:30.  cameron came over and was press-ganged into helping rake leaves.  there were so many leaves.  we raked from 11:30 until 1:30; i think we filled 15 yard bags.  afterwards, he and i took a nap til about 2:30 and then we went to cousins for lunch and rented drumline and down with love (with the money dad gave us for helping with the yardwork).  we got back home around 4 and we watched drumline and then we ate mommy's meatball surprise for dinner and watched down with love afterwards.  then he had to go home (by 8!).  once he left, i went to do some homework and then i watched law & order: svu with mommy.  i read until about 12:30 a.m. and then went to sleep.

so today is monday and mondays always make me cranky but you're gonna have that...

today, being no exception, i got up an hour later than i meant to and i dragged myself to school just in time for ear training - my favorite class.  actually, to be honest, i don't mind ear training... it's just that i'm not very good at it... and we had a test today.  bleah.  so we took the test and then we talked about cadences (yay something i know about!) and it made me wonder why melissa bothers showing up for school when she is completely zoned out constantly.  but nonetheless, i managed to make it thru class without getting too irritated with her.  then i went and sat with matt & monica in the e.r. until i had to mosey on down to the practice rooms to warm up for my voice lesson.  why is it that i sound good (or i think i sound good) when i'm practicing, but once i'm at my lesson, i sound like shit?  i don't get it!  anyways, so 5 minutes late, i went to my lesson (there aren't clocks in the practice rooms, nrr) and tony and i talked about how i'm not concentrating on school and i need to focus and etc and so on... which is true, i am slacking off a lot this year... i will do better, i promise.  anyways, then i sang and didn't sound too terribly awful and then i went back to the e.r. to get my books, which matt had told me that he'd keep an eye on, and i found that my backpack was just sitting there with no one i knew around.  grr.  so i grabbed my bags and headed down to the music theory classroom to check my email and blog a bit before class.

tonight i have to study for a jazz history test, listen to marriage of figaro for great books to great music and go to theatrix (anne frank) rehearsal here at uw-fv from 5 - 8.  talk about too much to do.  no wonder i'm not 'focusing' on my schoolwork.  but anyways, i'm going to go pay attention to class now so i shall continue blogging later because i think i need to vent.

byee!!

I'm not enjoying the random sadness that randomly permeates my days.  I'll be sitting there reading a book and all of a sudden I'll feel this unignorable urge to break into tears.  It's really weird and it makes me very melancholy and anti-social.  For example, today I was supposed to go to Theatrix in the morning, LU Jazz Singers at 3:30 and Rags in the evening.  It currently appears that all I will be doing is going to Rags (don't have to socialize during a show... not really anyways).  But I don't get why.  I feel so disjointed... disconnected from everyone.  And I really really miss being able to spend time with Cameron.  All I want to be able to do is take 24 hours, curl up in his arms and sleep.  But, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

Later.

1. What food do you like that most people hate?  I'm a big fan of things like brussel spouts, lima beans, asparagus... I didn't know that I wasn't supposed to like those until I started going to school.

2. What food do you hate that most people love?  I'm not sure... I like most foods - lol.  Maybe...I'm not really fond of pumpkin pie, and a lot of people seem to like that.  Until recently, I didn't really like cheesecake either.

3. What famous person, whom many people may find attractive, is most unappealing to you?  Keanu Reeves.  I think he is so unattractive.  Plus, he can't act.

4. What famous person, whom many people may find unappealing, do you find
attractive?  I actually find John Cleese kind of sexy.  Hehe...

5. What popular trend baffles you?  99.9% of popular trends baffle me.  I try to be a non-conformist.

Well that's it for now - I'm off to school!

...but I guess that's normal.

Anyways, today I over-slept and missed Great Books 2 Great Music (oo, big loss..) and then I managed to get to school in time for Jazz History only to find out that class was canceled.  So I wasted time in the ER with Joanna, Nichole and Laura (and eventually also Matt and Monica) until Choir.  Surprise of surprises, Selina was there!  So, it was cool to see her again.  But yeah, choir was uneventful - we sang.  Wow.  And then I went to Shopko where I ran into Louis... actually, he saw me driving by so he followed me to the Shopko parking lot to talk with me.  A little disconcerting, that.  Anyways, so we talked for a couple minutes and then I went into Shopko where I bought PJ pants.  I stopped at Subway on my way home, got lunch/dinner, and then went home where I chatted with Mike, Nichole, Adrienne & Dan online until I had to complete my covert ops - make it look like we only have 4 cats when we actually have 6 so that the tax inspector doesn't report us and make us get rid of 2 cats.  But now I am home and I am talking to Mike & Nichole and just... wasting time til I have to go to Theatrix.

So that was my exciting day!

Anyways, we went to see Finding Nemo (again) last night.  We being Cameron, Jay, Adam, Laura, Adrienne, Louis and myself.  And then Cameron, Jay, Adam, Laura and I went to Perkins for Shapoo.

BUT, prior to that, I woke up in the morning and went to Great Books to Great Music, in which Adrienne and I twitched at the people who were reading Marriage of Figaro aloud for the class and decided that theatre should be a mandatory class just so that people don't SUCK so much at public speaking.  Then we went to Jazz History which was... interesting.  We listened to a lot of Thelonious Monk (aka Melodious Thunk) and some of The Modern Jazz Quartet (aka The MJQ) and then we got out early and then I found a Cameron (he had a half day)!  So, Cameron and I hung out with Laura, Monica and Joanna in the ER until we had to go to choir.  Cameron went home and we went to choir and sang and sang and listened to boys sing pretty and then I left.  Before going home, I stopped at the Fails and was going to talk to Adrienne but she wasn't there (she was at Louis' which I found out by driving past the apartments on my way out... surprise, surprise), so I talked to Cameron instead and then I headed home... where I... did nothing?  Oh!  I remember, Mommy was home so we talked while she cooked and knitted and such and I sorted out my scheduling oops with Jim.  Then I ran over to Theatrix around 6:10 and herded children into the sanctuary and gathered money and stuff and then I left.  I drove Jenny over to the Harts and Josh and his parents followed me there.  Once they were all settled, I went back to my house and waited.  Then Cameron and I hung out til 8:45ish when we left for Valley Value to see Finding Nemo with the aforementioned peoples.  And the aforementioned activities took place.

Today, I got to sleep in (yay!) and got to school around 9:50 to go to Ear Training where we sang and did harmonic dictation.  Then I hung out with Monica, Matt and Laura until Laura left and then Nichole joined us.  We had some interesting conversations over lunch.  Then around noon, noon-fifteen, Nichole and Adrienne and I went to listen to the group playing in the Union.  They were pretty good.  Check them out here.  Then I went to Theory, by myself, where I chatted with Adrienne and Mommy and read my Baby-sitters Club book (#10 Mary Anne Likes Logan).  And now I am home, trying to persuade myself to clean my room up (aka, make it not look like a bedroom) for the inspector guy who's coming tomorrow.  Rah.

And then I will be doing nothing but staying home tonight because... I have nothing to do... aside from cleaning.  Yay... not.
