"'Tis the Season to be Sick"

Oof, I've really sucked at comment replying this week. Though I noticed there haven't been many posts either.

Mel: I hope you get better, unless you are better already. And I love the Curse of the Wererabbit! Oh, you're such a good student. I wish I were as studious as you (I'm really not at all).

Tyler: (To the subject thing) Yeah, that's what I was thinking. The only problem is is that I don't particularly hate/enjoy anything. Apart from the fact I like all of the creative subjects, but I don't think I want to do like five hundred pages of coursework! Also, I'm excited about the Twilight soundtrack too! Yay! Friendship bracelets always break, it kind of sucks. I usually just end up tying them to my pencil case or something. Thirteen hours of sleep! I envy you!

Lysky: Oh! I do that to! Like when you get really excited and merge words together! Your blog was short, but wasn't too boring. Mine are usually worse, haha.

Chelsea: Oof, yeah, the trailers pretty muched killed Twilight for me. But it's hard to cast Bells/Ed when so many people interpret the book differently. I guess it's interesting to see what the casting crew thought of them.

But I'm ill today. Thankfully we had a half day, so I basically just came home and slept for four hours. Yay.

This week hasn't really been that well for me. I found out I did absolutely awful in loads of tests. There's something about tests that just terrifies me (like by the way, I have a slight fear of exams). There's always something really stupid I do. I always cross out the right answer thinking it's wrong, and then write a wrong answer instead. I did that six times in my Physics test and lost 12%, five times in maths losing 10%. I suck, haha. Maybe I should just be one of those people who grows up to become one of those people who live on mac'n'cheese who just paints all the time.

Questions
1. Which Hogwarts house do you think you would be in? Which is your favorite?
I'm not really sure which to be in. According to Wikipedia..
"Gryffindor values courage, daring, nerve and chivalry."
People say I'm brave, but I don't really see myself as that, so not really Gryf.
"Hufflepuff values hard work, loyalty, tolerance, and fair play."
I'm an AWFUL student, but I'm loyal and fair.
"Ravenclaw values intelligence, creativity, wit, and wisdom."
I think I'm somewhat intelligent, definitely creative, said to have wit and no idea about wisdom.
"Slytherin house values ambition, cunning, resourcefulness."
I'm not ambitious at all!
So I guess I'll be in Huffleclaw. Of course my favourite is Gryffindor!

2. Is there a movie soundtrack which you think is fantastic?
TWILIGHT. And Juno, of course. I like quite a lot, but none are really coming to me.

3. Are you going to see the Twilight movie? What do you think of the previews?
Yes, and not sure. I don't really like the actors. Bella has a man voice and Edward looks nicer as Cedric. But I think I'll go see it anyway. I just brought Eclipse but I'm only on page 17. It's getting to that stage, for me, when it's just becoming soppy after eight hundred pages.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. I'm ill so I think I'll go die now, haha. Oh! And! We have this vicar who's teaching us RS for a while, and he has really shiny shoes!

Hope you have a good weekend!

Another short one, I apologize.

Sorry kids, but we had a show tonight and I've got work to do and I'm tired and the boy is coming over. But I still love you.

HOGWARTS HOUSE - Oh, I'm totally a Gryffindor. And I don't just say that because its my favorite, I really actually am.

Uh, what were the other questions...Oh!

MOVIE SOUNDTRACK - I've been listening to Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist a lot lately. But I also love the Garden State soundtrack, the Lord of the Rings soundtrack, the Boondock Saints soundtrack, and lots of musicals. :)

TWILIGHT - I will, at some point. I'm actually a little worried that they're going to completely butcher it, plus I've totally fallen out of the hype of the series. But I'll still see it eventually, probably over Thanksgiving break.

Anyways. Eclipsed opened on tuesday night and is going really well - hopefully some much bigger and more responsive audiences over the weekend. Yesterday was Jordan and I's one year anniversary, so we blew off all our work for presents and playtime. :) We'll be formally going out and celebrating after the show ends on Sunday, but for now we just don't really have time for dates. Ah well.

Okay, well, I'm escaping to go take a shower and get some work done and try and get some sleep. Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Nerdfighterlike

Surprisingly this wasn't plan. My computer is on shuffle and this just so happened to be the song on which is stopped.

:D I love Hank's cd. I got it Monday. When I met John and Hank Green ^^ It was soo much fun. I have videos on my computer. I'll edit soon and upload them on the youtube. I haven't gotten to it yet with Beauty and the Beast rehearsals. So much dancing! :D It's way fun though. Most of the time. Today, not so much. It was at first, but then I started feeling sick, and it slowly got worse and worse until I was literally laying on the stage wishing for it to be over. And of course when you want something to be over it drags on for forever and a day.

But yeah! Nerdfighter tour was awesome! I talked soo fast when I met them because I was way excited. But they talk fast too, so I guess they can translate "HimynameisAlyssaandyou'reawesome."

I also met some awesome people. Me and Addy thought we were alone, but we aren't! So now I'm conversing with fellow Kansas nerdfighters. Which is pretty cool. Nice people :] Which isn't surprising.

Besides that? Not much has really been happening. Just rehearsals basically. They own my life. Which is better than outback owning my life.



1. Which Hogwarts house do you think you would be in? Which is your favorite?
Probably Ravenclaw. I'm smart :]

2. Is there a movie soundtrack which you think is fantastic?
Yes. Garden state. I love the movie and the soundtrack. Also Juno.

3. Are you going to see the Twilight movie? What do you think of the previews?
Yes I am, I liked the first book... mostly. I think the previews could've been better, but they weren't horrible. But yeah, my ticket was already purchased from me I guess. :D So I'll be seeing it Friday. I'll post my thoughts on it next week. And I'll try not to include spoilers. I hate those.

So yeah. This is a small post, but ugh... I'm boring :D

Enjoy the rest of your week girls!

and when you're feeling empty, keep me in your memory

Ohh, just listening to the TWILIGHT SOUNDTRACK. <3

Its rather good, but some of the songs [like the linkin park one from the title^^^ could go better with different books..ahem...new moon HELLO]


But anywho, this week has been rather fantastic. Compared to the stress of last week it was just very chill. No tests, no papers due [okay there was one due, but I completely forgot...and the teacher's gonna except it Monday so I'm alright], and I found out I totally aced all my tests and papers from the week before! Also only have to work on Thursday made everything a little easier.


I spent most of the week making friendship bracelets for random people and I'm still working on a few, it just sort of reminded me of being little and how making them was more fun than getting them and wearing them until they just fell off and idk. Some things are so simple they just make me really happy.


This weekend was spent working...like seriously all I did was eat, watch a little television, work, and sleep. It is a little tiring [I have to work tonight as well...] and there's been some slight drama with the managers tightening up on the rules and such, but I've become such good friends with everyone now it's not so bad. I love just about everyone there and everyone looks out for each other.


Back to Twilight, I'm still trying desperately to get my parents to let me see the midnight showing...but if I can't I'm sure I could find someone to come see it with me next weekend. The soundtrack is really good, and Robert Pattinson [aka Edward] sings two of the songs on it, his voice is this crazy cool mix of like Bob Dylan, BB King, John Legend and awesome. Both songs are sort bluesy and folky and amazing. Ahh I just love gorgeous boys with gorgeous voices. [even though seeing the previews, I think I'll like him more as Cedric Diggory]


I also got the Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist soundtrack, it's a great movie and I'll hopefully be reading the book soon. That soundtrack is very...me. I love pretty much every single song.


Well I'm off to write an essay about charity work that I was supposed to write last week. Here's some questions:

1. Which Hogwarts house do you think you would be in? Which is your favorite?
2. Is there a movie soundtrack which you think is fantastic?
3. Are you going to see the Twilight movie? What do you think of the previews?



Today is awesome because I slept for thirteen hours.
Today I feel tired...somehow?
