Today was the first day of school and I found it amazing how everything just slides back into place... into its usual routine. Minus the new classes and the new students, everything seemed the same, in a way.

Aaaaand, since I'm absolutely bored, I will summarize the day for you. ;-)

English II - Unlike what I had heard before, Mrs. Hollinshed seemed very amiable. The things we are going to cover are really interesting, so I hope this class is a good one.
Latin Eytomology - I spelled that wrong, didn't I? Oh well. I'm a little worried with this class because of all the vocab, but I think it shall be okay. Ms. Marquis seems nice, despite what I've heard elsewhere.
Drawing/Design A - I'm excited about this class...but the only real acquaintance is Amy Olbert. :-/
AEP - I haven't had this class yet, but I think it shall be mighty interesting with Mr. Lane as my AEP teacher. AEP is like a study hall, and now we only have it once a week. :S Eurgh. You know, some people actually USE that time to study.
Honors Algebra II - Sounds advanced, non? Well, this is actually the dummy class. I decided to take it this year because I know I will be crazy with after school activities and the slower pace will be great. Mr. Stigers (S - Tigger - Z... I'll explain later) is very interesting. He's a new teacher, so he was so incredibly nervous today. He's pretty much the exact definition of 'geek' and looks like a comic book characters.
Biology - The foreign exchange student that I thought was from Central America, but is actually from Germany is in this class! *drool*
Spanish III - Last year I have to take this class! Scorage. :-) Ms. Whitney is really nice and I'm glad I got her, because she is really the best Spanish teacher at Sumner. Maybe I'll actually learn something this year.
Advanced Programming A - Although I signed up for Visual Basics A, I got this class. *shrugs* Shall be interesting.

*collapses into a heap on her bed and instantly falls asleep*

The Interview Game: The Rules

1) Leave me a comment saying that you'd like to be interviewed.
2) I'll come up with five questions for you.
3) You'll post the questions and your answers on your blog/website (you must have some sort of site).
4) You'll include this explanation (i.e. The Rules).
5) You'll repeat the process on your own site.

These questions are from Crystal.

1. If you could go back in time and relive one day which would you choose and why?

It would have to be the day where I went out to the movies with Meg, Kate, Halley, Dathan, Brandon, and Danny. We just hung around the strip mall near the dollar theatre all evening where we were going to go see Lord o' the Rings: Two Towers. We ate outside at Backyard Burger. We nearly got ourselves thrown out of Dollar General. We stuck glowy necklaces in Dathan's 'fro, then wore them all throughout the film. That evening was just so much fun..

2. What do you like best about your personality?

What I like best about my personality is I'm able to KEEP the friends I have (With the few obvious exceptions...) by staying apart of their life and respecting them and their interests. Friendship is very important to me and I'd be lost without my friends.

3. Who was your first fictional crush?

Hmm... My first fictional crush. Wow, hard one. I'm sure there has been some before, but the earliest one I can think of would have to be Christian, from Moulin Rouge. That's when I fell in love with hopeless romantic-ness and everything of the sort... And Moulin Rouge was also the movie that broadened my horizons for other kinds of movies, so it will always have a special place in my heart.. *bursts into uncontrollable sobs*

4. Who or what has had the biggest impact on your life thus far?

I'd have to say my books have had the biggest impact on my life. They've made me laugh, cry, squeal, think.. And they've opened up new doors and interests for me.

5. Is there something you've always wanted to do but haven't worked up the courage to go through with?

Wear my fedora with my trenchcoat whenever I leave the house. :-)

2003-08-22T23:33:00.000-05:00

Who just posted chapter 11 of Olivier's Story?

Me!

(cue huge sigh of relief)

2003-08-22T22:12:00.000-05:00

I'm going to see Pirates of the Caribbean tomorrow.

Go me.

But I'm not looking forward to seeing it with Maggie, who, only recently, has "come out of the Bloom closet", expressing her love for Orlando.

Oh, that has got to be the most clever thing I've said all day.

Anyway, I plan to put Mom and Dad between us at the theatre.

Tomorrow is also the party for the TBA Players which is going to be mucho fun, but I'm a bit nervous, as I will probably be the youngest there. We're going to watch the recording of "Music From a Sparkling Planet" and go over the upcoming play. *bounce* Excitement!

2003-08-22T11:59:00.000-05:00

Crystal, I am so, so sorry about the theatre thing. That is so incredibly stupid of them to only take theatre students!! How are they ever going to recruit people? Eurgh. Evil. Are you going to be taking any classes next year or something? That would be pretty awesome. :D Hope everything works out.

The Strange Files of Fremont Jones is sitting at the table in the living room calling my name. "Raaaachel... Raaaachel, come read me! I don't go on for chapters and chapters about yam harvests!"

*sob*

2003-08-20T23:30:00.000-05:00

I'm forcing myself to post now. *le sigh*

Mark sent me this really cute Back to School e-card. Then it hit me... I'm ready to go to school and face the people I haven't had to even think of for months. The ones who give me odd glances when I quote Humphrey Bogart movies. The ones who say sarcastically, "Oh, Rachel, I love your shirt." You know the ones. The people who I just don't care about. I'm ready to start anew this year.

But I'm not ready for all the freaking work.

I just finished White Oleander this morning and I absolutely loved it. I was really sad to hear from Norah that the movie wasn't very good, but I'm thinking of seeing it anyway. Just to see what I think of it, I suppose. I'm a bit worried about Renee Zellweger playing Claire.

I've been working on an original that I started after reading the Fremont Jones and the Hilda Johansson series; both of them are set in the 1900s. It's an interesting story, I think and I'm really trying something new. I'm working with description, which is something I've never been very good at. I'm working on characters, although I think these are a bit cliched. I've sworn to myself that I wouldn't post any of it until I was done.. But then again, that's what I planned for Olivier's Story. I hate having the pressure of 'just another chapter' hanging over me like a dark cloud all the time. And what hurts with OS, is that, I'm so damn close to the ending. Just about five or six more chapters that I have planned out word for word in my head. That's what I do when I'm lying in bed, trying to fall asleep. But it's always so hard to spit out the words that have been stirring around in my brain for so long. Some things that are coming up later in Olivier's Story have been written down already for months! On Saturday, I think, if I'm done with Things Fall Apart (DAMN THAT YAM HARVEST!), I will sit down and just write Olivier's Story. I'll write and write and write... Maybe I'll finish it. Won't that be the biggest relief ever.

2003-08-18T16:14:00.000-05:00

Congrats, Dia!!!! Have fun in Chicago!

Today was fun, and although I didn't do much of anything, I'm absolutely exhausted. I got a shot.. Fun, fun, fun and now I'm just waiting for my arm to numb up. *grimace* I went to the theatre and started organizing the make-up with Sara. Then, got a ride from Halley and Dathan treated us out to McDonald's. :D I got a milkshake and then realized.. Mmm, might wanna get some sort of lunch food. So I reached in my purse for money for fries and Dathan started glaring at me. "Uh oh," Halley said. "You're hurting his ego. Better let him pay." *sigh* Ah well, 'twas fun. It's a bazillion degrees outside and Halley's car has no AC. Eeek! But we blasted funky music to make up for it.

Oh, saw the new foreign exchange student. He's mighty cute and looks like his host family is Matthew Bennett's family. And there was another guy who is known as the "guy in the gray shirt" who was so incredibly cute it hurts. But I don't know if he was a foreign exchange student. If not, Matthew Bennett's got a really cute older brother. :)

2003-08-17T23:39:00.000-05:00

With the idea that the opportunity to become a foreign exchange student is so close, I have been aching to get away from KC.

I've been looking at apartments in New York (I wish!) and thought I might share my favorites. :D

This apartment looked really awesome - and look what it comes with! :D

I thought this was great, but too bloody expensive!!

This, I thought, was too cute for words.

Then, I broadened my horizons and started looking for flats in Scotland:

This is in Edinburgh and is right near the ocean. *silent moan*

This almost makes me want to live on a farm.

*gasp* Gorgeous!!

There's this and this (Is that too pretty or WHAT?) and about a bazillion other beautiful townhouses.

All this Scottish talk reminds me... Guess who I saw today while driving down the highway??

Sean Biggerstaff!

Or, well, it was someone who looked EXACTLY like Sean Biggerstaff.

Needless to say, I was pleased.

This morning I learned, that two people were shot just across the street from me in the apartment complex. One wounded, the other died.

I don't know about you, but that makes me feel uncomfortable to no end.

A shooting at the Sunflower Park Apartments Wednesday left one man dead and another wounded. Residents were startled by the gunfire so close to a number of children who live in the building with their families, KMBC's Tom Corvin reported.

The two men shot in the incident were visiting friends in the complex when someone opened fire on them. Jamal Walker, 22, was killed in the shooting. His brother, Norman Walker, 24, is recovering from his injuries at a local hospital.

Parents at the complex were angered by the shooting, Corvin said.

"It disturbs me because everybody got kids in this building, everybody," said resident Shavonne Brown.

Inside the building, bullet holes ripped through walls and door jams. A hallway was peppered with remnants of the attack. Outside, a parked car was riddled with bullets. Tamika Davis, a mother who lives in the building, said she heard at least 10 shots.

"What if they run by my window and gunshots would hit my baby?" Davis asked. "It's scary. I mean, I'm ready to move away from Sunflower. You got to," she said

The weirdest thing is, though... Last year, the apartment complex was such a nice place. They would hold barbeques with each other, the kids would be playing outside... It was great. This past year, however, there has been a fire, numerous police calls, and I didn't post about the drunk lady with the child. I'm leaving the house with my family and we turn the corner by my house and come upon a woman, either drunk (We're not quite sure where she got the alcohol since it was Sunday) or high, and she's walking in and out of the street and there's a small child with her, couldn't have been more than five years. My dad is driving, and as we slowly approach them, the woman crumples the ground, hitting her head on the cement and the girl begins crying. My mom gets out of the car; we're all worried about the little girl. The little girl leads my mom to the apartment complex and into her home. Her dad is inside and wasn't very surprised to hear that his wife was outside, completely wasted and with a huge gash on her forehead. By now, of course, we've called the police. They come, but they couldn't really do much, since they could not force her to go to the hospital.

When I went outside at about 9:30 PM to get the mail (We hadn't been home most of the day), I was scared to death. Although, it was highly unlikely that someone was going to jump out from behind our hedge and shoot me down.

It was just eeire to think that at that time, yesterday, someone was murdered just across the street.

Well, came back from Wichita and I simply loved The Scarlet Pimpernel. 'Twas fab.

Chauvelin rocks. I love him. And, like Kat, I want one for Christmas. Maybe even two if it's not too expensive. What if one of them gets sick?

Damon Kirsche as Percy was really good and was absolutely hilarious at camping up Percy the "fop." Gorgeous voice. But I thought it was waaaay too obvious that he wasn't a natural blonde.

Kim Huber was alright as Marguerite. Her voice wasn't the best but she was a great actress!!

Okay, now, Aaron Lazar as Chauvelin. Sa-WOON! He is just so incredibly handsome and has a GREAT voice. Although his fake French accent was a bit obvious in his singing ("Where'z zee guurl?"), he did an incredible job. And when he took his jacket off and he was in that white unbuttoned shirt.... *falls over* Oh baby.

Oh, and if Ellie sees this, I got a program from you!

2003-08-08T17:05:00.000-05:00

Tomorrow I'll be spending most of the day in Wichita. I'm going to go see The Scarlet Pimpernel with a friend from school. Eep! I'm so excited! I've never actually seen the musical, just memorized the soundtrack. Mwehe.

Eurgh. How come I can never be happy with a template?

I wish I could make a website on brinkster... Just gotta learn how to use it first. :/

2003-08-08T11:05:00.000-05:00

Well, the template didn't exactly turn out how I would have liked. I used another template but the ad screwed it up. And on this one, tagboard messed it up, so I hope enetation is used just the same.

Wink. Wink.

2003-08-06T22:19:00.000-05:00

I'm feeling very feminine today. I wore a dress.

And now I'm trying to think of the last time I even wore a dress. ITS banquet maybe? Yeesh.

Anyway, about my exciting trip to Grandma's. :| Not too bad, Tom wise, but there is a conversation at dinner that I must repeat to you all.

Tom: (talking about alumni at his college to my dad) smug Are you going to tell them you work at Office Depot?
No response. Mom and I exchange looks and she looks as if she's about to rip off Tom's left nut.
Grandma: (to Tom) Are you going to tell them you're unemployed?

Zing.

On Monday, Maggie and I went shopping around Council Grove (It took an hour on foot) while mi familia was working with the lawyer about swapping some land. There's a lovely used book store there called Books Etc. and I bought Sense and Sensibility and Rebecca. Then, when I went back with Mom, I got Wish You Were Here by Rita Mae Brown and Got Your Number by Stephanie Bond.

Booya.

Ugh, I need a new template desperating.

2003-08-05T19:45:00.000-05:00

Well, I'm back from Kansas now. I would have blogged there, but when I went onto blogger, Uncle Tom would come downstairs and start hovering.

Well, since you all (*counts* One? Two maybe?) are so excited about Daniel, I will tell you. :) He has dark hair, he's very shy and he's 6'2''.

*sigh*

Anyway, he looks really nice and I saw some cool pictures of him and his family. Some of the pictures are from about four years ago, so I'm not sure how much he has changed. He's pretty cute, I must say. The most recent picture (I think) is really distorted and it looks like a school picture (And we all know what that means) and I think it's the kind thing where he will be much cuter in person. Plus, he'll have this Euro look and aura about him which will make everything peachy.

I left my Chicago CD at my grandma's for him to borrow. :) Aren't I just so neighborly?

Mom and I are really worried about his arrival, because by the looks of it, it won't be so welcoming. The room that will be his during his stay has way too much furniture for it's own good. There's a big bed (But, unfortunately, not big enough for a 6'2'' person. Mom and I measured.) kinda stuck in the middle of the floor. A cedar chest, two different chest of drawers (One with a mirror, another one is too big for the room), another small nighttable/drawers and two chairs.

And this is a SMALL room!

Mom and I told Grandma many times that he is a big guy and he needs a lot of room! We even told her what should be moved out of the room (One of the dressers, the cedar chest, the table/drawers and both of the chairs) and that they should take down the pictures on the walls so he can do whatever he wants with it. She said, yeah, they should probably do it, but both Mom and I know it will never happen. Then Grandma said that when Daniel comes he can decide what he needs in the room and whatnot.

Like I said, not very welcoming.

Plus, it's going to be torture with the two of them living together. Grandma and Tom ALWAYS bicker and nag at each other. Plus, Mom is worried that Daniel will think that all Americans eat like they do.

We've planned to invite him up for Thanksgiving and after Christmas.

Well, I would write more about the trip, but I'm being kicked off. Ciao!

2003-07-29T22:08:00.000-05:00

Today was exhausting.

I started out with the beginnings of cleaning out my black hole of a closet. And my closet is BIG. I dumped out the contents of a bucket and noticed that everything inside was pretty much 7th grade. Which meant, of course, it was full of Backstreet Boys and Freddie Prinze Jr. fan girl stuff.

Yep, I was quite the fan girl.

Then, I was rudely taken away from my trip down memory lane and was taken to get a tooth filled and two sealents put in. Oh, the excitement. I got two shots of anesthetics because of my sensitivity to the cold water... Then, of course, have by face and tongue was numb for the rest of the day. Then, once I got feeling in my tongue, everything had feeling a lot quicker and I ate pizza and oreos. Oh yeah.

Now, I just wanted to say how much I love the Fremont Jones' series by Dianne Day. Here's an excerpt, explaining why I love her style of writing so much. Fremont Jones is going to Boston, her home town (She lives in San Fran [Ooh, look, Cryssa! I'm hip!] around the time of the big earthquake.), to see her dying father. Her life partner, Michael Kossof, has insisted to go with her.

I said, "I'm glad you're coming with me. Really, I am."
Then I kissed him, and he kissed me back, and one thing led to another as often happens in such a situation, and so we were occupied with one another for a while.

Heh heh heh; I thought that was just perfect.

Oh, and can you just imagine, what made my abysmal day worthwhile?

No, no Georgio boogie, but a Cryssa letter!

2003-07-27T20:11:00.000-05:00

Well, Ellie and I had our movie marathon dedicated to Gregory Peck and Katharine Hepburn... And, unexpectedly, Laurence Olivier.

Only till I got to her house, did she realize that at 7 PM on TCM, they would be showing Wuthering Heights, starring Laurence Olivier. Naturally, we had to make room in our already busy schedule for this 2 hour long film. *sigh*

So, in order, we watched these movies: (I know you are all interested.... And I'm very bored. And exhausted. I should sleep.)

On the Beach - A lovely, light story about the end of the world, due to radiation poisioning.

Desk Set - We chose this next to lighten things up a bit. Darling little movie, and, Ellie, we did not get the colorized version!

To Kill A Mockingbird - *sigh* Hard to get through this one without crying now.

On Golden Pond - When I saw Katharine Hepburn, and how old she was... She had already started shaking, I knew that I wouldn't make it without crying. Ask Ellie, I was right.

Gentleman's Agreement - Okay, I'm sorry: I know that Dorothy McGuire is a very, very famous actress, but she looked like the kind of character that would turn on Gregory in an instant with her forced smile. Oh, and yeah, the tape, um, died... Yeah, yeah, that's right.

Spellbound - Yum.

And now, at about this time, it is about 6 o'clock in the morning and we are to wake up at 8:30.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha - *promptly falls asleep on the keyboard*

2003-07-26T10:00:00.000-05:00

*wails* Cryssa's gone!

Eeek, for how long? HOW LONG IS SHE GONE? I FORGOT TO ASK!

...I'm okay.

Here is David Thewlis' site, but, as I said, it's very hard to get to, since it's geocities and the bandwith on that site isn't worth crap.

So, I've saved some pics I can show those who are desperate. :D

2003-07-23T10:06:00.000-05:00

Well, I was finally able to get onto David Thewlis' website (It's geocities, but I don't think it's offical... Good.) and see some decent pictures. I saw some good ones that made the thought of him as Lupin a bit more comforting. :)

And he's a vegetarian. *nod*

So is Cinna! I thought that was cool. :D

2003-07-23T10:03:00.000-05:00

*bursts into tears* I'm afraid to get it filled. I hate, beyond reason, having my mouth numbed and then there's the scary squealing, screeching sound that a filling always brings.

*shudder*

Hmm, I can't tell. Anyone know? I must find out.

Once again, I have gone on a Colin Firth binge obsession and am quite distraught that I have no access to a working TV/VCR and cannot see The Importance of Being Earnest, Camille or Pride and Prejudice.

I really need to write Olivier's Story... but that would involve going upstairs... and that involves going up stairs... and that involves energy. Which I have none of. Plus, it's a bazillion degrees in my room.

Hey, I'm going to ask you guys before I start writing... Is anyone up to a story about Rebecca's life? It won't skip through her childhood like Olivier's Story, it'll be more about her experiences as a child and probably go up to when she first meets Olivier. So? Good idea or non?

Goodness, I love Michael Buble so much, it's not funny.

Look! Look! I'm posting!

Mark called today and we talked about Harry Potter. 'Twas quite nice. Then when I asked him who he though Harry should be with, everything went downhill. Hermione, he replied. Well, then I sure told him. I gave him all the evidence that Harry/Hermione were doomed and Ron/Hermione was a v. v. good thing. Then, I started talking about Scotland and kilts and he hastily said, "Um, Rachel, I've gotta go now..."

Coincidence? I think not!

Anywhoo, I'll get that image done for you by tomorrow. (Or, well, later this afternoon) It's just too bloody late.

Hope this was a worthy post! :)

2003-07-08T19:18:00.000-05:00

Well, Twixxa is back so everyone can be happy now.

...

And, naturally, the two things (And it was a bit of a splurge, which felt good afterwards) I buy on vacation aren't in Georgia. At a Cracker Barrell in Tennesse, I bought a journal with a diner and a waitress on it with sequins. And then at Nostalgia-ville in Missouri, I bought a Marilyn Monroe shirt.

Booya!

2003-07-06T11:16:00.000-05:00

Cryssa, some one is already MAKING a bloody Sam/Meg fanlisting! They won't publish mine!

2003-07-06T07:42:00.000-05:00

Well, I was going to wait until Crys got her postcard, but that's taking too long.

Georgia is fine, in case you cared. We got down here on Thursday evening and will be leaving tomorrow morning. The trip down was okay, we listened to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone read by Jim Dale and I hated it. I drove a little on the highway and got stopped by a Kentucky state trooper! People at the gas station saw me driving and thought I was too young to drive. I didn't do anything wrong, which helped my nerves... a bit. But it was still scary to see those flashing lights and have to stop on the shoulder of the road, give the state trooper by permit. He was really nice about it though. He said he was just checking my age and I also said I was doing a really good job... And of course, if you ask my family about it, they'll go on and on about my criminal record and how I had to spend two nights at the Lyon County jail.

:)

Yesterday, I said, "Good Lord, with you guys around I can't get away with noth - anything!"

Mom about walloped me, claiming I've spent too much time with my Georgia relatives.

I'm staying at my cousin's house and she has two sons. Taylor is just the funniest little dude ever and Chris is twelve.

I think that says a lot right there.

There's a pool across the street from her house and, according to Maggie, that is the highlight of the vacation, minus the family reunion of course. Aunt Ann's party was really fun. Everyone was glad that Robert could come - he had a stroke maybe a month ago. Aunt Ann gave me a tea cup that she said I had really wanted last time I came to her house, when I was about six. It took me awhile to remember "the gold cup in the mansion."

I got really sick of hearing, "Oh, you were so little last time I saw you! You probably don't remember me!" I had to keep checking with my mom to keep track of all the cousins and such.

I wish I had a bit more to say, but I don't. So I suppose I will see you guys Tuesday or Wednesday on MSN. Au revoir!

2003-06-30T23:56:00.000-05:00

Cinna, Linds and Beauty - I wasn't sure if you had any favorite classic actresses so I just put three down. If you have any particulars, please tell me!

2003-06-30T23:52:00.000-05:00

Today has been too exciting for my tastes.

First, as Maggie and I are sitting at the kitchen table writing letters (By the way, Cryssa and Shvn, they've been mailed today!), we notice a boy lurking around our neighbor's house. He looks as if he's holding something in his hand and Maggie and I assume it's firecrackers because people over at the apartments have been firing those very frequently. Then, all of the sudden, he walks straight up their driveway and disappears behind the house. Seconds later, he zooms out again on Evan's (The little boy who lives there) bike! I rush over there and tell them. They call their dad, he comes home and reclaims the bike behind the stairs at an apartment complex across the street. Turns out, at that moment that Maggie and I were watching (And it's a good thing we had the blinds up!) a gas maintence man who was driving by saw and followed the boy into the apartment complex to get the number of the building.

Well, later, Maggie says at lunch, "That's just too much excitement for one day!"

Right then and there, we know something else is going to happen.

Sure enough, after supper, I hear sirens outside. Usually, that's nothing important because the fire deparment is ALWAYS going to the apartments for false alarm fires. But this time, smoke is billowing out of one of the windows and flames are up on the roof. About four fire trucks are outside. We go over to the neighbor's house and watch with them on their porch. Channel 5 comes with their big van but doesn't do anything. Then Channel 9 comes over and a cameraman immeditely comes out and starts taping the scene. Channel 5 beings to leave, after not doing a thing, and as they pass the house, Mom shouts out, "Well, looks like we'll be watching Channel 9 tonight!"

Nobody was hurt in the fire.

Phew, I'm quite tired.

Oh, just for everyone's information, I will be leaving for Georgia on Wednesday morning and will be gone for about a week. I don't know where we will be staying and I don't know about my computer availability. Plus, I'm banned from the computer until I mail the Who's Who letters and clean my room. *sigh* So I might as well say good-bye now.

Au revoir, chicas!

Hey, Ellie, did you read that Leon Uris died?

2003-06-25T16:24:00.000-05:00

It's amazing how different books can make you feel.

When I'm reading The Hours, it's as if I think in stream of consciousness writing and I feel very poetic. I read Jane Austen and I feel elegant and romantic. Harry Potter, magical; Sweep, magickal.

Amazing, isn't it?

2003-06-25T14:31:00.000-05:00

Happy birthday, Storm!!

2003-06-24T23:47:00.000-05:00

SPOILERS FOR HP5 WITHIN! Please highlight to read.

Well, I read it.

And I must tell you, I don't believe I've cried to hard over a book. Ever.

Sirius... of all the people I didn't want to die, he must have been number one.

When it happened, I began to cry furiously into the blanket I was clutching. Dad put the book at one time and looked at me, "Would you prefer that I stop reading?" I just laughed through my tears and waved him on to continue.

I read the last chapter. I felt like Harry... it only actually HIT that he died with clarification.

Although I was prediciting Mrs. Weasley was to die (Saving Percy, most likely), my greatest fear was Sirius.

Oh god, there are no words but WHY?

And I'm sure that's what every single Sirius fan or non-Sirius fan thought.

I fell in love with him all over again during the Pensieve part, although he was being quite a prat with the whole Snape-issue.

But goodness, I couldn't tell you how happy I was when she said he was very handsome.

It's official.

I'm finally excited about OOP.

*sigh* Too me long enough, eh?

Well, you see, Mother explained to me that they did not plan to read one chapter a night, as I had earlier believed, but they plan to bang the book out in a week.

:O A WEEK? SINCE WHEN DID A WEEK COME OUT IN PLAY?

She did say that I could buy my own copy and read it at my own pace, but I decided, since they aren't going to take til X-mas to read it, I'll join them.

Ah, blissblissblissblissblissblissbliss.

We were going to go this morning and get it right away, but the lines and Waldenbooks would be so long that it would take til 5:45 to actually get the book, which is when we're going to get it anyway after we pick up dad. Then we're going to have a party at home and read outloud til our throats are sore.

Ah, blissblissblissblissblissblissbliss.

Oldman's Family Blues

Talk about your scandals! It's already been rough going for actor Gary Oldman and his ex-wife after they split in April 2001, but now it's getting serious. While Donya Fiorentino's own history of drug abuse cost her physical custody of their children, now she's fighting him tooth and nail to get back her kids, claiming he's an unfit father.

IMDB.com reports that in a suit filed with Los Angeles Superior Court, Fiorentino claims that "Gary was drunk" on May 6, when she dropped off the kids at his house. She also claims that, "He was unkempt, his hair was greasy and he smelled of alcohol." Another allegation made is that Oldman burned their son Charlie's neck with a cigarette, and now the child is scared of the actor. Oldman's manager claims it's nothing more than false allegations and that it's a terrible "situation" for both parties.

Wow, I'm impressed.

2003-06-17T14:13:00.000-05:00

Well, Cryssa insisted that I post... So I'm posting.

Yay! Cryssa letters rock.

Ellie and I are planning a Gregory Peck movie marathon. Mucho fun, I'm tellin' ya.

Okay, she's got Roman Holiday... She hasn't seen Spellbound so that is essential. And so is seeing Mockingbird. We must must must must watch that.

And I'm thinking for the late night one and we turn off all the lights and get into pjs... The Boys From Brazil.

Oh yeah.

Hmm, might wanna actually call her about it and make sure this is even possible. :D

*tries to think of something else to post about*

Um.. um..

Oh! It's Nicole's birthday this Friday!

And I agree with Nita... I can't wait for The Hours to come out on video as I really want to see it again.

Does anyone know when Chicago is coming out on video? Cryssa and I were just talking about it.

It is so incredibly difficult to accept the fact that Gregory Peck has died. I mean.. I just can't wrap my mind around the fact.

It's kinda odd that I watch Roman Holiday or Spellbound without thinking, "Oh, Audrey Hepburn is dead.. So in Ingrid Bergman.." but I wasn't sad like this.. I mean, I didn't know who they were when they died. Was I even alive? And Gregory Peck would seem so alive.. Well, because he was and now it's so weird to see those pictures thinking he's gone like Ingrid and Audrey.

That made no sense at all - I'm sorry.

Goodness, just think how I'm going to be when Lauren Bacall and Katharine Hepburn die... I mean, Lauren is in her late 70s and Kate is in her late 90s... Mom agreed with me - It's gonna be rough.

But that's what happens - people die.

Ann (Hepburn): At midnight, I'll turn into a pumpkin and drive away in my glass slipper...

Joe (Peck): And that will be the end of the fairy tale.

I love summer so much.

Despite the fact that I've had Driver's Ed every morning since the beginning. Despite the fact that the class is full of people I don't like, minus one. Despite the fact that I accidently ran a red light yesterday. Despite the fact that it has haunted me for three days. Despite the fact that I haven't had any contact with my school friends for two weeks. Despite the fact that I really haven't had much contact with my good friends via MSN Messenger. Despite the fact that my sister drives me completely insane twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Despite the fact that my room is a complete mess and I don't want to do anything about it. Despite the fact that I am dreading the arrival of the fifth book and have been for several months now. Despite the fact that my play is going nowhere fast.

Isn't it wonderful?

Wow, Cinnamon, I think we could be good friends!

Welcome to the blog of an obsessive, opinionated young girl whos obsessed with all things British and French.
My admiration and perhaps adoration of the Bohemian ideals of truth, beauty, freedom and love goes beyond words, and I long to live in the seventeen-hundreds. I adore English literature, and if I have one true ambition in life it is to be as great a writer as the amazing Jane Austen, Emily Bronte, Virginia Woolf and others. I am utterly obsessed with the film Moulin Rouge and would love to visit Paris. Expect much madness, constant yet mad musings, and, most of all, the epitomy of, well, me-ness - A new yet frightening word . . . Good luck, and welcome to my strange world.

Okay, only little difference... I love to live in the 1940s; I'm obsessed with Bogie and Bacall, Dior, swing and, like Megan, my dream is to find a guy who would learn to swing dance, therefore we can get dressed up for homecoming and dance like mad! Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!

But anyway... *whispers* Cinna, we gotta talk!

This is when things went downhill... We went out for supper and mom needed to stop by Barnes and Noble's for bookmarks (There's a teacher at her school that's retiring and they're putting together a scrapbook). I was drinking up all the books, looking at all of them - even the ones I wouldn't like... Just looking.

Then mom can't find the bookmarks she wanted so we leave.

We spent 5 minutes in there.

You can't just.... SPEND five minutes in a Barnes and Noble's! Ahhhh!

Weeeell, guess who saw Down With Love last night? That's right! ME!

Okay, just before anyone takes it: Barbara's apartment is MINE. I said so in the theatre when we first saw. A little too loudly as well.

Dad lost feeling in his arm (Thanks to MOI!) twice and I felt really really sorry for the 12 year old sitting next to me.

I was reading Storm's blog and have decided to claim Ewan's glasses.

*cackle*

Ooh, I absolutely loved David Hyde Pierce - he was toooooo funny! And the ending was just classic 1960s.

And of course, there was the end production number.

Down With Love! Ahhhh! Mustseemustseemustseemustsee!

Okay, I'm sorry, but what's wrong with this picture: Joe Millionaire is coming back. Who would be stupid enough to fall for that again? *shakes head sadly* Unless they made it Jo Millionare, and it was a girl fooling all the dumb ass men out there.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. *grin*

Anywhoo, last night's performance was so incredibly hectic. The ASM and sound techie just didn't show up! Maybe they thought it was Friday/Saturday performances instead of Thurs/Friday. They were starting to consider my doing sound AND lights up in the booth, but there was no way with all the light cues. The SM was able to be up in the booth doing sound because the costume designer was helping the main character with costume changes.

*takes a deep breath*

The tension was so thick you could have cut it with a spoon! On and off stage. The actors were going out of their way to lighten things up, like when Sharon Phipps says, "Okay, the guy with the sandwich name (Hoagie) - I want him dead!" and Jayson, instead of saying "Oh, you'll learn to love him... eventually," he said, "Oh, you can't kill Hoagie! He's great with tomatoes!"

Personally, I think it went really well for having only two techies.

2003-05-15T06:34:00.000-05:00

Down With Love comes out tomorrow. This is way too must for my little obsessive mind to handle!

2003-05-14T22:11:00.000-05:00

ITS Banquet was tonight and that was the best fun I've had in awhile. A room full of theatre people? Oh yeah, baby!

Dathan won Best Actor, Sara won Best Actress, Halley won Best Techie, the awards said, "Sunner" instead of "Sumner" on them, and, surprisingly, I won Best Stage Manager. I had a blast.

The juniors put on a skit showing the differences between techies and actors. Priceless, I tell you. Priceless.

When Mr. O'Connell was introducing the seniors and he got to Kat, he couldn't say anything. Then, eventually, he said, "And in The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy says to the Scarecrow, 'I think I'll miss you the most.'" The whole crowd went "Aww" and I about burst into tears. I remembered how much I was going to miss Kat - wait, not just Kat. All the seniors! The seniors are a great bunch of people and they will be greatly missed by everyone.

His wife is a huge Austen fan, as well as a Colin Firth fanatic. So, they go to where they shot all the Pemberley scenes in the movie of P&P and he recites Mr. Darcy's proposal to Lizzy to his wife.

I can't believe such a horrible tornado was ripping through my own town and I didn't even know it. I was completely on the other side of town and it missed us. Although it didn't go through my street or anything, it was just several miles from my house when it first hit the ground.

At an armory somwhere in Kansas City, there were people there, terrified for their lives, hiding from their homes. There was a panic to get down in the basement - people shoving, messing, fooling around. The armory was completely flattened and they're still digging bodies out.

And that, boys and girls, is why we are told to never run during a tornado drill.

It's official.

I'm obsessed.

With what, you might ask? (Unless you're Milla.)

Well, besides Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, all movie stars from that era, Moulin Rouge, Chicago, Nic, Ewwie, fedoras, trenchcoats, big band music and much, much more - Colin Firth.

*drools insanely*

Music From a Sparkling Planet

Whatever became of Tamaara Tomorrow? In the early seventies, this local TV host, in her antennae and space suit, made cheery predictions of how exciting the future was going to be. Her sudden disappearance was a mystery in the Philadelphia area. Three fans of Tamara, all grown up and disenchanted with the “future” as she predicted, decide to go in search of her. What they find along the way teaches them more about themselves than they really thought they should know.

Miller: Okay, here's a category - TV show that is so wrong and pisses you off.
Wags: I Dream of Jeannie.
Hoagie and Miller: Why?
Wags: Okay, this guy goes around calling her boyfriend 'Master' and no one has a problem with it?

Mwehehe - I think of you, Nita, everytime it's that part of the play. :D

I got the techie gig! I got the techie gig at the Just Off Broadway Theatre, here in town!

Aaaaand, for the ITS Banquet I've been nominated for Best Techie and Best Stage Manager - but they nominated all the people who have stage managed before... even the bad ones. So that basically leaves Megan. Hehehe. :)

I am sooo incredibly excited about the banquet! *bounce bounce*

This weekend I'll be up in Illinois (Sadly, nowhere near you, Dia, dahling.) for my godbrother's confirmation. :) Mucho excitement.

Oh! I almost forgot! Twixxa has made a cover for Olivier's Story! She's a little worried (Gotta love this 3rd person schtuff!) that the gray and black look absolutely horrid together... but she's hoping y'all will like it. :D Click here to see zee cover!

Oh dear, Twixxa has not updated blog for three weeks!

Not much has happened really. Math grade is up though! Whoo whoo! You will be seeing more of Twixxa now. :D

Othello has come and gone... 'Twas sad.. I had tons of fun ASM-ing. I worked the old light board down on stage which was great.

*sigh* Supper. Always at an inconvient time. More later...

Okay, okay, I know I've used the same basic template before, but I needed a new template! Does the black font look okay with the color pictures? If not, please tell me!

Brandon Mitchell was disqualified from the talent show! *tap dances*

He completely changed his act and said some inappropriate things about some people in school. Dr. Viveros kicked him out in the middle of his act.

Personally, I found that quite humorous.

Saw part of Anna Karenina on TV last night... Got hooked because the main guy was extremely attractive.

And extremely familiar.

Later found out he was Sean Bean!

Aiiiiiieee! Have new obsession with Sean now. *drools*

I guess I was so busy drooling over Aragorn in LOTR that I didn't even notice Boromir. Although, he wasn't all that attractive in the movie.

*points to the second picture* I mean, come on! Is that handsome or is that handsome?

I think we're going to be getting rid of Dodger sometime. I really, really, don't want to... but he is a handful.

He terrorizes the other animals... He terrorizes Maggie which is just plain stupid.

A woman from the Humane Society came to our science class a couple weeks back and said the pound gives animals three days before they're put down but Mom brought up a good point: Dodger is extremely adoptable. He's adorable and the minute you look at him, he starts purring. But I'd still feel better if we have to take him to the Humane Society.

Awwww!
