-Pirates of the Caribbean DVD
-School of Rock soundtrack
-The Fighting Temptations soundtrack
-Finding Nemo DVD
I may add more later... but that's it for now...

Time to fly!
Okay, so I'm really not a big fan of the holidays, to be honest. The parents tend to get cranky, then I get cranky and it's just a mess. BUT, I hope that everyone does have happy holidays, regardless of the stress level and other problems.
Anyways, so it's been a couple days since I posted, but to be honest, I don't really think anything of great notice happened the past couple days so, I'm not going to bother with much of an overview.
Monday - Went to Ear Training but came home after it because I felt really crummy... went over to Cameron's for a bit in the evening and he and Adrienne and I went to Perkins...
Tuesday - Went to Great Books to Great Music (lit. quiz)... went to Jazz History (assessment)... went to Choir... went home. Went to It's A Wonderful Life rehearsal... went to Perkins with Adrienne, Louis, Cameron & Laura... went to see The Fighting Temptations (good movie!) with Cameron, Laura, Cathy & Andy... went home.
Wednesday - Went to Ear Training... went to Theory... stopped over at Vegas Lounge & Restaurant to fill out some stuff... went home. Went shopping with Mom & Lara. Cameron came over... we watched Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Extended Version) and Moulin Rouge... then he went home and I went to sleep.
Today - Woke up around 10... felt like crap... took drugs and went back to sleep til 1... rah Turkey Day...
Off to continue feeling ill... bleah.

Well, Theatrix is done for now... yay, and yet... not yay. Oh well.
Yeah, I have done nothing today.
Yesterday, I went to the afternoon show of Aladdin. Then I left and went back to my house with Laura where we hung out until we went to Little Shop of Horrors with Nichole, Monica, Mommy, Larissa, Cameron, Laura and myself. Then Nichole, Monica, Laura, Cameron and I went to Perkins where we had a slightly unpleasant encounter due to over-active emotions, a number of misunderstandings and some long-standing irritation. After we took Cameron home, we went back to my house where we watched The Recruit and then went to sleep. Monica left early to go to church, but Laura, Nichole and I slept til about 10 and then we played Sorry! before getting dressed and leaving. Then we stopped and got Subway before going to UW-FV. And then she went down to the museum and I sat around in the lobby thru the show and then I came home where I have... done nothing since.
But, now Travis & I are talking on the phone, so I'm going away.
Bye!

Thursdays are generally fun days and today was really no exception, although I was tired.
However, I shall start with what happened Wednesday so things make more sense!
Wednesday I did the usual get-up, go to Ear Training, wait 10 minutes for Melissa to show up, etc. Then I hung out with Laura, Adrienne, Dan and Eric in the ER. But Laura and Adrienne were done for the day so they went home, but then Nichole showed up so, yay! At 1, I had Theory which was interesting - not... I did my homework. Nichole joined us half-way thru class. Then AFTER class, Nichole and I went to my house (randomly). We headed back over to UW-FV around 4:30 so I could drop her off at class and then be there in time for call for Aladdin. I helped prep the cast for opening night and then I was done, so I hung out in the lobby with some parents until Nichole was done with class. Then we went to Hollywood Video and rented A Midsummer Night's Dream, Lord of the Strings (which was supposed to be a spoof on Lord of the Rings but was really just a soft core porno whose real name was Lord of the G-Strings), The Music Man (with Matthew Broderick... not Robert Preston), and The Recruit (mmm Colin Farrell!). It was only $4.12 for all 4 movies - wow! Then we headed to Perkins, but, upon seeing Laura's car in the Shopko parking lot, decided to go visit her. However, we didn't have to, cuz she was on her way to her car so we ran her down and made her come to Perkins with us. After a fun Perkins evening, Nichole and I stopped over at the Fails' to say hi. Then we left and came home where we watched all of A Midsummer Night's Dream and about 45 minutes of Lord of the G-Strings before deciding that it did not have the plot to keep us awake any longer. So we went to bed.
This morning we woke up at 8:20 and dragged ourselves to school where we were unable to listen to The Marriage of Figaro because some mean nasty malevolent people checked them out already. So we just reviewed the info from the first 3 acts of A Midsummer Night's Dream and the main recognizable things in the songs we needed to know from The Marriage of Figaro, ate breakfast and went to class where we both (think we) got 10s on both quizzes! Then Adrienne and I went to Jazz History where we were confused by the way some trumpeters look when they play. After JH, I went down to the ER for awhile and found out that Vegas Lounge & Restaurant had called and that they wanted to hire me! Yay! Then we went to Chorus where we sang and I turned pages for Brady and we sang and then we left. Dan and I went to find Evelyn Lee's office so she could fax our long-distance Theory teacher our homework. Then Nichole and I went out to my car and I drove her home and then did the same for myself. Once home I found out that a) I don't have to go to Theatrix tonight and b) I get to take those English classes that I wanted to take but had to be approved for since I never took Eng 102 cuz I assumed that "Exempt from 102" on my placement test score meant I simply was exempt, not that I might be exempt. Anyways, lots of happiness today, so, hopefully that will continue! HOPEFULLY, I will get to go hang out with someone... :)
Tomorrow is just Theory, but I may go in early just to hang out with people... who knows?
Saturday is Going-To-See-Little-Shop-Of-Horrors Day! I'm so excited!
Yay for good days, and lots of good days in a row!

Sharkbait Oo... bop ba doo...?
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!

Friday... why am I awake?!
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!)
1. Using one adjective, describe your current living space.
crowded
2. Using two adjectives, describe your current employer.
disorganized, but dedicated
3. Using three adjectives, describe your favorite hobby/pasttime.
broadening, drug-like, and incredible
4. Using four adjectives, describe your typical day.
long, tiring, sleepless, and boring
5. Using five adjectives, describe your ideal life.
quiet, happy, love-filled, warm, and healthy
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!
