I quoted that quote in gym today (Sorry, I've totally forgotten the source). Because I suck at gym, I paired with someone else who sucks at gym. My friend, because she is normal, was miserable ("It's gym, urgh, I'd rather die,"), so I said this quote. Naturally, we ended up taking the piss out of the gym lesson. Yay!
So this week has been a tad hectic for me, despite only going to my current school for two days (they only went back yesterday).
Basically, like rightbefore Christmas, another school offered me a place (I spent Mon-Wed there for like "taster" days). Not only is this at the most annoying time (way to disrupt my holidays), but it's also made me have to make a really hard choice! (Lots of venting ahead, skip down to the bottom if you don't want to read it.)
I am the most indecisive person ever. Pros of my school now are friends, no swimming (a general hate of mine), I'm not that new, meaning I know places/teachers/the way the school works (despite the joys of being nicknamed "Newbie"), the people are wittier/funnier, the pupils are a bit brighter (thus lessons are faster paced and more "crammed" - which I like). There's nothing wrong with it. Apart from the fact it costs £7,000 a year (~$14,000), including forms of scholarships. Everything else about the school I either like or don't mind. There aren't a lot of things I have a problem with.
Pros of this other school are that my sister's there, and that it's free. Eventhough money isn't everything etc, it feels as if I'm saying no to £7,000 - maybe something only a madman would do. The bus journey is a lot longer - up to an hour on the bus, and I can't sit still for twenty minutes. Though one of my old best friends is at the school round the corner, so I'll at least have someone on the bus to moan to. I'm not a big fan of the school's uniform - blue shirt, blue jumper, pleated blue skirt (Don't you just love the colour contrasts?). I'm kind of tired of being the newbie as well. The kids aren't as bright, the lessons aren't as testing (something I like 'cause I'm a nerd and all). Oh, right, the my classmates aren't as funny, but they're nicer (not that my "now-friends" aren't nice, it's just the fact these other people are like. Tres sympa.)
Unfortunately, my mind's a little too strange and believes humans can get used to anything. Even misery at school.
But there's nothing that's pushing me towards either side. I just want one school to tell me they don't want me studying there; that would just solve everything.
And people are like "Oh, just go with your heart, dear." Well, I apparently don't have a heart. It's been missing since the day I failed to make decisions. If money weren't the issue, I'd obviously stay at my current school. But money is an issue, and I am prone to guilt - I'm not a big fan of spending other people's money, even my parent's.
So I am pleading for help. How would you pick? If you're feeling nice (crosses fingers) please stick it in a comment (speaking of comments, sorry I haven't really commeneted on many).
Also, anyone else noticed the amount of posts we're getting per week? It's all seven posts a week 'till it's like the end of September, when it all goes to fives and fours. Just a little thing I found entertaining ;) On a good note, look! Blogger's now catorgarised our posts as 2008/9! Yay!
Ah, and book updates. I'm still only on the third Harry Potter book. Almost there, though. I spent the last two days reading 'The Wide Sargasso Sea' by someone whose name I've forgotten. It's like a spin off of Jane Eyre - it's the story of Bertha, Rochester's first and mad wife in the attic. I thought it was really good, so I recommend it if you've read Jane Eyre.
Hope y'all have a good weekend
(And sorry for the venting post.)
(P.S. Lysky! Sorry, I forgot to comment on your post. Happy birthday! Grats with the knee socks, haha)

Busy busy.
So one of my best friends that hasn't been home in a year came home this week, so we've been a little busy with catch up time, which is why I'm late. But I'm here!
This'll be short again, I'm sorry, but my mother is deathly ill and I have to get up at an ungodly hour of the morning to take my brother to school. Sigh.
I keep meaning to update my personal blog more, in case you guys...like...really miss quasi-entertaining posts from me and want to read something more fleshed out...but I'm failing at that too.
Actually, I think once class starts back I'll do better. I'm incredibly thankful I'm not in the next show so I'll have my nights back for a little while, and once I get back into a [sort of] routine, it'll be easier to sit down and do this. Good thing too, because I'm insane and just signed myself into a vlogging deal with some people. Something is wrong with me, I'm sure of it.
But anyways, hope you all had a FABULOUS holiday!

15 Steps
I have been obsessed with Radiohead lately. I've always been in love with them, but I'm on a radiohead spree lately. If you haven't heard their albumn In rainbows yet, I would suggest you take a listen. It is absolutely fantastic.
So happy 2009 girlies! We seem to be lacking in posts lately. It makes me sad. :[ I'm still here though, promise. :]
So far my new year has been alright. Piph went back home on the morning of the sixth. It was kind of a sucky day :/ but I have some really awesome friends who've got my back and they've been cheering me up when I get down.
Beauty and the Beast is coming along very well. The orchestra is getting fine tuned and we just started using the fly system today. I'm so jealous that I don't get to fly in on cables. One of the girls in the wolf pack with me gets to jump on someone and then fly off, I'm so jealous! I want to fly through the air! But oh well. :[ I'll get over the disapiontment.
Second Semester has been rather well two. My schedule now has me going back and forth to the theater department every other block. It's no joke.
On A days I have:
Orchestra
Advanced Repertory Theatre
English
Tech Theatre
B days:
Precalculus
drama teacher assistant
American Government
drama seminar
Unfortunately all the classes that aren't in the theatre are all the way across the school. It is a long walk. D:
Speaking of said classes. American Government is my new class this Semester... one of them. And my teacher is a total frat boy. I'm not just making assumptions here. He really was a fraternatiy boy. I have a feeling that me and him will bump heads on a few subjects. But strangely enough, I'm eager to have a go. Sometimes I really like to argue.
In other new news, my birthday was on Sunday. I am now 18. It feels wierd to say that. It makes me kind of sad too. I rather liked 17. It was a nice number. Besides, I no longer have the right to sing Seventeen Forever by Metro Station. XD I guess I could. The lyrics are "you won't be seventeen forever" hmm... It was a rather un-eventful birthday though. No cake. I got some really awesome knee socks from my almost sister Lauren. :] what a sweetie! I was really disapionted though because I got this small box. And I know my dad says no car, but it was the perfect size for car keys. Unfortunately I should have listened to myself. It was ear rings. They're pretty. But still... they won't drive me around. Oh well. At least I mostly escaped the birthday song. :D I only had a few people sing it and I only knew two out of the four or five. So that's not too tramatic. :]
Have a good rest of the week Girlies.

It was a gift from Tori Amos!
Uhh so the new season of Flight of the Conchords is starting soon! The first episode aired on Funnyordie.com last week and it's brilliant. Basically Bret and Jemaine own my life.
Uhh so this week was good. I went to the mall with my friend Rachel the other day and bought this skirt:
Basically, I love it. We also went to see Four Christmases, which was awful, but Reese Witherspoon's Louboutin shoes made it slightly watchable.
Also I got this book, Fashion Illustrations by Fashion Designers, and I love it. It's just a bunch of sketches by famous designers like Chanel and Givinchy.
Mehh I don't have much else to say...
I realized I never did my own ten things challenge so here you go:
1. In my head, I often imagine life as a musical, i.e. people singing, dancing, etc.
2. I love Shakespeare, I wish people still talked that way.
3. I have a guitar named Jude and a saxophone named Sedgewick.
4. I would move to India just for the food.
5. I'm currently trying to plan a trip to New York City for the summer.
6. I plan to get there by train.
7. I've always kind of wanted to be famous.
8. I own bongos.
9. I think Doctor Frankfurter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show is oddly attractive.
10. I want to fly to Morocco.

OH MY GOD I AM SORRYYY!!
So, I've failed miserably on the blog-when-you're-supposed-to front, and I apologize. Two of my Saturdays were spent in Pittsburgh at my grandma's house, and she doesn't have a computer, so blah. And I forgot yesterday because I had a fail moment. Bunch of confusion over who was spending the night at whose house. So now my friend Josie is asleep on my bed at the moment.
Anyway, I had a pretty awesome Christmas, which was to be expected. I love going to Pitttsburgh so much. Pretty much the whole population is in some way part of my dad's side of the family. It's crazy, and I'm still crazy tired from it.
Every. Day. Is. A. Party. Literally. I think there was only one night that wasn't spent at another relative's house until 4 the next morning. But it's so much fun, especially my cousin Keith's new wife whose name I can't spell because she's Vietnamese, but it's pronounced like "twee." She's so cute and fun and friendly, she fits right in ^-^
On to other stuff.
10 facts about me:
-1. I have Cystic Fibrosis. It's not too bad, I guess it's like super asthma, at least that's how I end up describing it to people who've never heard of it before. lol
-2. I have two little sisters who look nothing like me, as I am the only really dark brunette out of the three of us, and I'm also the only one out of my sisters and my parents with green eyes, everyone else has some shade of blue. I'm the oddball =]
-3. I like to collect books. Usually on some obscure topic. Pirate Primer, Guilded Tongue, etc. I just really like random books. And books in general. I always end up spending the most money when I go to some bookstore as opposed to anywhere else.
-4. I spend a lot of my time on the internet researching pets I wish I could have in case of the event that I magically acquire such animal. I look up things like breeds, care, pictures, stuff like that. Most recent was horses. There have also been a lot of searches on German Shepherds, rats, Muntjac deer (oh my god do a Google image search, they're 100% pure concentrated cute), rabbits, hamsters, snakes, blah blah blah. I'm silly like that.
-5. I firmly believe that the name Andrew increases the chance of the male with that name to grow up and have great hair. Really. Magic name. But I know 5 andrews and they all have really nice hair. My dad's friend looks like hippie Jesus.
-6. One of my like goals is to be multilingual. I want to become fluent in Spanish (I wouldn't care so much, but I live in Florida, and last time I was in Miami it was un poco loco), French, Japanese, German, and Italian. Also, how cool would it be to learn Elvish, like from LotR? *nerdalert* hah!
-7. I love gift wrapping. Whenever Christmas rolls around, I'm always running around my house looking for the wrapping paper, and hoping we dont have any so I can run to Target and get some really pretty pattern, and those bow things. Damn I love those. Also, we just bought that Scotch brand wrapping paper cuttter-stick thing and the tape dispencers that straps to your hand. Thay're so cool!!! AHH!
-8. I actually think I'm somewhat psychic. I don't know. Sometimes I think I get these weird premonitions, and then it happens. Like on Christmas Eve, I had a dream that my boyfriend got me a photo album, and then when I opened his gift the next morning, yeah, photo album. It was cool. And when people are talking, and then pause because they're thinking of what to say next, in my head I end up thinking of a word that might fit what they're thinking, and then that's the word they end up saying. It's weird. Eh, call me supersticious.
-9. I love sushi. I mean it. I really. Love. Sushi. My boyfriend took me out for sushi dinner like 3 nights in a row this week. He loves me ^-^ plus he loves it as much as I do, yay! My favorite has to be unagi. I love me some eel. Hot rock is pretty bomb too.
-10. I would love to be a bartender, only because you get to mix stuff together. I'm the person who goes to those fast food joints where you get your own drink from the fountain and procedes to mix every one together in the cup. It always tastes like Dr. Pepper in the end. When I was younger, too, I asked for a Proffessor Snape Potions Set because I wanted to make potion drinks and stuff. I dont know if we still have it, but I hopw we do, because I'm feeling nostalgic.
Food:
Good tie between Chinese/Japanese cuisine and Italian. I love me some pasta and mozzarella caprese, but everything tastes better with chopsticks.
What did I do for New Years?:
Andrew and I went to our friend Tony's place, which is out in the middle of bloomin' nowhere and played Left 4 Dead and Halo, watched some random YouTube vids, and lit off some commercial grade mortars, which was awesome. At one point, the neighbor's dog bolted out right after Andrew had lit one of the mortars and it knocked the canister over, but thankfully it shot in the opposite direction of where people were standing, so it was all good. Later that same dog tried to eat the flames coming out of one of the fountain things. It was quite lol. The dog's fine, btw. It was one of those flame-retardant breeds, I guess.
Yay, presents!:
I got some pretty cool things. From Andrew I got a really awesome scarf with the Hogwarts crest on it, with scarlet and gold striping and fringe, and straberry Sally lipbalm, from the Nightmare Before Christmas, and a photo album for us to keep adding to. It's so sweet<3
From "Santa" I got Horton Hears a Who and a special edition DVD of the Nightmare Before Christmas, Brain Age for my DS, Ferrero Rocher candies (*squee!*) a hairbrush, and a bunch of mint-based Burt's Bees suff, which smells like happiness on a spring morning.
I got this really awesome photo book full of prints but Life photographers, and some of the pictures you can actually take out of the book and frame if you want. Pretty awesome.
Some of my favorite gifts that I gave were this giant fuzzy blanket that I got my boyfriend, a Buddha box for my best friend that was really neat looking, and for my dad I got a 4-disk DVD set of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Woot woot!
Okay, I think I got it all. Sorry to have kept missing my day like that, and now sorry for intruding on Tyler's day -___- I fail, but I won't anymore, promise!
DFTBA~~
