So. Saw Spring Awakening again last night. It was QUITE SNAZZY and really, just sitting down in front of that set brought back all these memories of last year, when I first saw it, and really, I just love this show a lot. A lot a lot a lot.

Anyway, so: quite a few things were changed, because Michael Mayer is ADD or something.

( there was much inappropriate laughter during this show. also, jake epstein runs like a chicken )

And now, I must study for my geo test. Wish me luuuuck!

SO YOU GUYS. I SAW AMERICAN IDIOT. It was quite snazzy! The set is fantastic, holy shit, I loved the music, and the cast kind of makes the Broadway geek in me squeal.

( also in the audience tonight: steven sater, jonathan groff, and lea michele )

There was also a TON of older folks there. I did not know they liked Green Day so much. =/ It was kind of sweet, though, seeing them dancing in their seats. ♥

I could provide a substantial update on my life as well as meme that I need to do, but it's late and I need to go to sleep, so real quick:

My mommy just came home with our tickets! SEEING AMERICAN IDIOT ON OCTOBER 24TH. EEEEEE!!

:D :D :D

SO. LET'S TALK NEXT TO NORMAL.

( alice ripley is kind of crazy, do you think )

:DDDDDDDD

Next to Normal tomorrow! I am excited!

I will give HP6 this: it is way, way funnier than any other Harry Potter movie. "Dumbledore's not THAT old, he's only...wait, how old is he?" Ron on love potions! Harry on Felix Felicis! ("I JUST FEEL THAT HAGRID'S IS THE PLACE TO BE, YOU KNOW? IT'S HIP TO THE JIVE, STRAIGHT FROM THE FRIDGE.") PINCERRRS! Hermione and Harry talking about their business extremely loudly, in the library, where the whole student body could be listening. (Which they are.) Whatever. McLaggen's finger licky-sucky! The stuffing-down of the bad-breath truffles! Lavender's...whatever the hell she's got. Nervous tic? A lot of nervous tics? A full-body nervous tic? The whole of Hogwarts faculty watching the breakdown of the Lavender/Ron/Hermione triangle! Slughorn's fish bowl of metaphors! The fact that for the first time in about three movies, I actually noticed the resemblance of Dumbledore to Gandalf (but I never watched more than an hour of LOTR, in my defense.) So yes.

( However, in spite of all that hilarity, pretty much all the important plot points were cut out. Bill who? Wedding what? Voldemort's extremely important backstory where? AND WHERE WAS THE HOT GUY THAT PLAYED TOM RIDDLE IN CHAMBER OF SECRETS? )

Also, they didn't show the Percy Jackson trailer at the theater I went to. Which was very disappointing. Do you KNOW how long I've waited to see Logan Lerman accidentally-on-purpose tripfall into an elevator on the big screen? Really.

I have to leave in about five minutes, but really quick:

BIRTHDAYBIRTHDAYBIIIIRTHDAY

I'm 16! YAY!

So before it gets too late:

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY, FELLOW AMERICANS. HAPPY MEANINGLESS DAY, PEOPLE FROM PLACES THAT AREN'T AMERICA.

My mom was working and the usual people with whom we have wild holiday parties with were out of town, so we made hot dogs and then went to go see Spamalot for the second time. Mmm, Spamalot. And hot dogs. Mmm, hot dogs.

(This post really has no point. And I typoed that as pint the first time I wrote this.)

There is already a thin layer of dust on my summer reading.

7 days till Argentina.

So I saw Wicked again last night. I have to admit, seeing all those people my age in one place? Was painful. Yeah. I don't do good with people my own age. =/ It makes seeing shows like Wicked very difficult.

( this show made me cry. AGAIN )

ALSO!! MY GRADES CAME IN!!

English II: B (YEAH TAKE THAT MR. SCHAEFER)
Ethics: A (OMG FUCK YES!)
Honors Advanced Algebra: B (YEEEES I PASSED MATH AGAIN THANK YOU GOD)
Honors Chemistry: C (oh who was i kidding. i hate this class.)
Spanish II: A- (HELL YEAH! :D :D :D)
World History: A (:D :D :D I LOVE THIS CLASS SO MUCH AND I WILL MISS IT ;_;)

I DID IT!

I'M DONE WITH SOPHOMORE YEAR!

It was...wow. I can't believe I'm finally done! And some of my grades are up! I got an A in Ethics! A really high A! I'm going to miss that class more than I think I should ever miss a class EVER.

So now it sunshine and flowers for the next few months! :D :D :D

Proof that the television gods really have started smiling on me:

HOLY CRAP.

I honestly haven't given much thought to Haruhi since the eighth grade (!!), and I finished reading all the novel translations a while ago...but eeee!!

:D

(Oh, Hirano Aya. I miss you.)

ASDLKSG"GWHIOGNIOIOEOIN GIO OM NOM NOM NOM

I am very excited for fall. :)

I have narrowed my ethics project down to three choices:

1. Violence in media
2. In vitro fertilization
3. Cloning

I will be majorly pissed if all three are taken. IF ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO HAVE VIOLENCE IN MEDIA, THEY WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME AND MY PURPLE-BUT-SOMETIMES-PERIWINKLE-IN-FLUORESCENT-LIGHTING BACKPACK TO GET IT. DO YOU HEAR ME?

;_; My right foot was stepped on three times today. Twice by the same person. COME ON, I'M STANDING RIGHT HERE.

SO IT'S NOT LIKE IT TOOK ME FOREVER OR ANYTHING, but I finally finished watching Skins. (In my defense, I watched it twice before I wrote this.) I...am far too lazy to think all the way back to the first two series, so I'll just ramble about series three.

( i've actually been writing this list since march. i'm just a bad, bad procrastinator. )

Also, I was watching Buffy, and...is it just me, or does Darla look kind of like a pig when she whirls around to face Buffy in that one scene in, like, the first episode? I don't know. Like, her nose and lips look very...pig-like. IT'S BUGGING ME. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN I STARTED WATCHING THIS MUCH TELEVISION.

I've given in and started watching the Korean Boys Over Flowers. I sincerely hope that they will not disappoint me.

However, I am not going to get my hopes up, because I know that none of them will manage to be as attractive as Sato Megumi. (Though I am hoping the guys are better looking in this one. I'm looking at you, Matsumoto Jun and your weird-ass lips.)

Dear Wicked,

I take back every single not-nice thing I have ever said about you. Not that I ever really said anything not-nice, but I think I called you overrated several times and said that your music was kind of sucky. Which, well, it kind of is. But that's not the point. Because you were amazing tonight. You gave me goosebumps nearly every song and awoke in me the desire to build a huge mechanical head on wheels. You even brought me close to tears at several points, which sadly broke Spring Awakening's record of Times A Show Melted Emily's Shriveled Heart. You were just a million different kinds of awesome tonight and I'm sorry I ever thought you were overrated. Well, okay, that's a lie. You are overrated. But having seen you, I can now say that you are significantly more rated than I previously thought. You brought some serious awesome tonight. So thank you. Please do not start sucking and make me take this letter back. Because that would be embarrassing.

Love,
Me

( i love vicki noon. and kendra kassebaum. and vicki noon. the tech for this show was amazing. you know what else was amazing? vicki noon. )

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!




Mmmmmm, Girl Scout Cookies...

My chem teacher is insane. Insane. She must be going senile. I can think of no other explanation for the homework she assigns us.
