Wow, What a Week.

I'm going to get questions out of the way.

Favorite Musical:
This is a tough one. I really really really love Across the Universe, with a passion. So there's that. And also, Spamalot. I love Monty Python soo much, and I saw it last year with my mom and it was hilarious.

If I Could Be Any Character from a Musical:
I think for this one, I'm going to go with Prudence from Across the Universe. She's so free-spirited and outgoing, she was definitely one of my favorite characters.
But I have to say if I were to go cross-gender for this question I would definitely pick Mr. Kite.
Favorite scene in the whole movie.

Tarot Cards?:
If I'm not mistaken, I think you can get them at Barnes and Nobles, or Borders or something. Like, in the New Age section. But I'm not positive. I know at one point I was interested in buying this book on reading runes and it came with the stones and everything but I was broke. I would think you could get some there.

Favorite Perfume/Cologne:
My sense of smell pretty much sucks, so I never really know what things smell like. I do have this small vial of scented oil that I bought at this New Age shop near my house, though. It's natural coconut oil that you mix with water and put in those oil burners and it makes your house smell really nice, but there aren't any chemicals in it or anything so you can wear it as perfume as well, which I do a lot. It smells like a combination of coconut and vanilla.

Guilty Music Pleasure:
I don't know that I have any that I would consider a "guilty pleasure." I'm similar to you, Bengi, in that my taste in music varies a lot. My dad's in the music business, so I grew up surrounded by music my whole life. I guess if I really had to think about it, I kind of like Avril Lavigne and Panic! at the Disco and stuff, like I was really into Avril when she first started out, but since then I've kind of outgrown her, and I was kind of against Panic! in the beginning. But if a song of theirs comes on the radio or something, I'll listen to it, I'll probably like it, but I doubt I'm going to go out and buy their CD. But that's me. My taste varies from classic to metal to techno to Jrock/pop to whatever.

Now, to blogging.

This has been quite the week. Quite, quite stressful. I've been catching up on my work for school that I missed from being in the hospital, but I didn't get it turned in before the grades were due for mindterm grades, so I'm pretty much failing all of my classes, until the actual report cards come out in January where they'll go up from Fs to As or Bs like witchcraft. Gotta love that.
Besides that, though, it's been a sad week because the best friend of one of my really good friends died on Monday, supposedly of alcohol poisoning, but I'm not totally sure. From what I read in the report on it in the paper it doesn't seem likely. I don't know. I didn't know the kid all that well, I met him only once or twice, but I'm really close with his best friend, and he was there when he died. I feel terribly for him, and it's just weird. Everyone who knew him said he was one of the sweetest, smartest, coolest guys you could ever meet, and from what I know of him when I met him a couple times, that's all very true.


WelL I'm done. Gonna go for now.

Have a good rest of the week.
<3

Ah, quick post

Apologies! But I can't really write much, I promise to write next week. Sorry :( Hope your week went well.
My brother's back from uni so that's why I dont have time :P
Hope you have a good weekend. I'll write next week!
(P.S. only 20 days till XMas!)

Be our guest!

Okay... I fail to believe that I missed my day. Because I remember typing a blog with a beauty and the beast title, and when I looked down there this week it was not there. -gasp-. Am I just crazy? Possibly.

But anyway! I digress. Things are not looking so good here. General Motors, which is the company my dad works for, [too see said father there is two videos of him on my youtube channel] is planning on shutting down half of their plants in the US. The plant he works for has always been ranked best. We got number three out of all the plants, foreign and domestic, in the entire Western hemisphere. Now suddenly they're saying that the quality is bad. Which is, of course, not true. How could we go from number three to the bottom in three months? Nope, they're setting it up saying that if they go ours will be one of the first. My dad is less then a year away from retiring and in a few weeks we don't think he'll be employed. SO times are not good. I might not have the internet much longer. Or phones. Or TV. Anything for that matter, so if I disappear off the face of the earth, forgive me. Although I'm entirely sure I'll be able to give some forewarning about this.

Other news- Beauty and the Beast is running smoothly... but slowly... like honey. The numbers we've learned are picking up, but there's still more to dances to learn and the Choreographer has been sick for a week. Hopefully she'll be back tomorrow because Ben Bartlett can't do it. Sorry. He just doesn't know dance.

Anyway, this is short, but I have to write a paper before going to Lauren's [dad's girlfriend's daughter] choir concert downtown. So yeah, I love you girls. Cross your fingers for me, send positive vibes, I need them.

PBA's are notsome

So I have PBA's soon and i have to write it on the French Revolution which is probably THE most boring topic like in existence!!!

here are my answers to the questions =]

1. What is your favorite musical, and why.
So hard, but I'm going to go with Spring Awakening because it's so unique! For it's time, when it was first written as a play it was banned because it had premarital sex in it and a boy who was an atheist and the songs they use are just amazing!
2. If you had to be a character in any play or musical who would you be?
As a character or to act? Well since I can't sing, I'm going to pick Character and that has to be...wow umm...Maureen Johnson from RENT. She's just so FREE =]
3. Where do you think I might be able to find some tarot cards?
I don't know, the ones I have my friend got them for me from England, but try a street fair?
4. What is your favorite perfume or cologne
Perfume at the moment a tie between: Vera Wang Princess and Gucci Envy Me and I love the Abercrombie Cologne Fierce, it's the one they spray the store with so I'm planning on buying it and spraying it on my clothes =]

Ok so this thursday me and my friend CAMPED OUT on the streets of NYC from 8pm to 7am the next day to get wristbands to go to the JB book signing (yes they wrote a book) and we got in =] and the even was at 3 and I saw their dad and me and this girl ran after him on the streets to his car and we screamed KEVIN! (that's his name, Kevin Jonas was named after his dad) and from the car BOTH of them turned around and laughed when they saw how shocked we were to see Kevin (he's my favorite)
I've typed this story so many times this is the short version:
When i got there Kevin walked around the table to give me and hug, and no one got hugs unless they asked for one! so i gave him the letters me and my friend had written while camping out and i said: the longest is yours and we was so suprised! and he gave me another hug! and then with Joe i went to shake his hand but he pulled me into a hug over the table and i'm really short so it was painful!
and nick
omg
he hugged me as well and we joked around then when i was leaving he said : I LOVE YOU!
=] they say that to fans sometimes so ya =]
that's my story and now I have to go and read 30 pages on the French Revolution, fun fun fun

Oh and if you haven't head this song already:
Subject to Setback by Danger Is My Middle Name....I have an odd taste in music, goes from Taylor Swift, to Jonas, To Demi Lovato, to Musicals, to Wrock, to System of a Down etc...So check it out it's amazing! Alan, 5ag, uses it a lot in his videos.

So that's my question, what's your guilty pleasure when it comes to Music =] Mine was JB but now i'm open with it xP

eeeep

I forgot it was Sunday.
I don't have school tomorrow so it felt more like a Saturday.
I actually had a fun weekend for once.
But work is honestly owning my life.
They've got me on 35 hour weeks now...
and they denied my most recent request off.
So basically I am not happy.
BUT! One of my best friends just got hired
so I'm really excited to get to work with her.


Tuesday and Wednesday I was sick with strep throat-like symptoms.
Thursday I worked in the morning and then had a delicious and meat-free Thanksgiving dinner and then saw Role Models [hilarious!] with my brother.
Friday I worked 9am-5pm. In case you weren't aware, this was Black Friday, the day of insane sales and even more insane shoppers. Basically after being stressed out and shopping all day they bombarded the theater...and they weren't very patient.
After work Friday I just went home and watched The Producers [loved it] and The Music Man, and Charlie Barlett [ahhh he is too cute], and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Saturday I worked 2pm-10pm, but it was actually quite nice because I got to work at a smaller, less busy concession stand with my friend Melanie, so we were basically by ourselves just hanging out for most of the time. After work I met up with my friends and we ate late breakfast at IHOP, we had a strange waiter but it was snowing when we came home so it was cool. We watched the Rocky Horror Picture Show [it really never gets old for me] and went to bed.
Sunday [today apparently?] I went to a football game with my friend, we rode the MetroLink there, which is sort of like a train/subway type thing. I'd never been on it before so that was neat. Then I worked and was in a terrible mood all night at work because of being stressed out of work.... lol

Soo tomorrow I don't have school. It's just sort of a random holiday I guess. But since I don't have to work, I'll be spending the entire day catching up on projects and homework...joy.


I finished The Last Good Kiss by James Crumley. It is fantastic. I loved it a lot, even if the ending was a bit sad. Next I hope to read either The Great Gatsby or Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.


I am really tired right now...so I guess that's all for today. Here are a few questions...


1. What is your favorite musical, and why.
2. If you had to be a character in any play or musical who would you be?
3. Where do you think I might be able to find some tarot cards?
4. What is your favorite perfume or cologne?


Then litte challenge:
Post a picture of something you think is really beautiful.


Hope everyone has a splendid week. This week I will comment everyone's post. I just feel like giving myself that challenge. :]
