Orange Tic Tacs

I'm watching Rent on YouTube (just "La Vie Boheme" and "Take Me or Leave Me"...maybe "Light My Candle", too).  They are all such good songs...I watched Rent for the first time at a sleepover party at the beginning of the school year when I was forced to watch both Mean Girls and Rent.  I'm so glad I saw both of them (what's better than having your friends force you to go to a sleep over because they think you need to get your mind off things and then being forced to watch movies?  Haha).  On Saturday night I saw Juno and Sweeney Todd with two of my friends.  Originally we were going to just watch and go home, but we weren't done until past midnight so it became a sleepover.  I love Juno--  it's one of my favorite new movies, so cute.   My favorite part is when they sing "Anyone Else but You" at the end ("We sure are cute/for two ugly people".)   Also, I love when she gives him all the orange TicTacs in his mailbox...he opens it and they all come pouring out.  I mean, it was the weirdest and most romantic thing ever...I mean, TicTacs?  Haha.  And then we watched Sweeney Todd, which is just a really weird movie.  The singing was good, though.  I didn't like all the blood because I'm a wuss like that...nevermind that it looked super fake,  blood and gore is NOT my thing.  I've only seen two horror movies and neither was my idea to watch it...The Grudge II and Halloween.  I didn't like either (at least neither one was scary).  Sweeney Todd wasn't scary, just super sickkkk and demented.  I'm singing now along with Rent...so good!!  Only, as my friend puts it I'm the 'tone deaf queen', which I totally am.  I love music, though.  The movie Made of Honor looks halfway decent (I was just watching trailers).  It does look super cliche, but hey most romantic comedies are it's what people want-- predictable and happy.  Like ice cream.  The Visitor looks good, too.  Plus Smart People (but that's rated R so I'll just wait until it's on DVD to watch it with people-- the teens that work at Jet Video know us so they let friends and I rent the R stuff sometimes :p).  Yay for movies and music!              

Sunburns, Shopping, and Sleepiness

So, this week is vacation week.  I was in Boston from Friday to Sunday, which was really fun, especially considering I hadn't been out of state in months.  I shopped quite a bit, getting makeup at Sephora and clothes at H&M.  Then, on Sunday I went to a Red Sox game-- they won, and it was interesting to watch (though I despise football, I really like watching baseball).  Today I got a group of friends together and we hung out in Deering Oaks.  I got a really really bad sunburn.  It was one of those things where you don't realize exactly how bad and red it is until you get home (ouchhhh).  Then three people left and me and two friends went to Rosemont and one of the friends house's.  That was fun, too.  Now I'm super tired (all that walking!  haha).  I really want to see Sweeney Todd with one of my friends (maybe some other people too, who knows-- the more the merrier).  But yeah, now my mom is asking me to cut the pineapple because somehow I'm always the one stuck cutting up the obnoxiously large fruits....post more later, if I'm not too lazy.

Let's Go Fly A Kite!

So yeah today a group of like 6 friends and me went and flew kites in the sports field in back of our school.  It was sooo much fun and we got lots of weird looks.  I ended up getting a kite stuck in a tree and it wouldn't come down, but we'll get it down eventually (I hope).  We decided to start a kite flying club and actually get together and fly kites on an almost weekly basis.  Because, who doesn't like flying kites (well, lots of people, but that's BESIDE THE POINT haha)?  Well I'm basically procrastinating because I have lots of French homework to do.  I'm going to Boston on Friday until Sunday and I'm going to see a Red Sox game, so I'm pretty excited about that.  Drama is over and oddly enough I miss it...there are sooo many people I don't see outside of drama that like I don't have classes with and stuff; it's kinda sad.  It's like I WANT ANOTHER PLAY...but whatever.  I'm excited to see the King play tomorrow night; it should be pretty good.  It is sooo nice outside lately it makes me want to skip and such.  On an entirely random note I find it amusing how many people choose to have me be the sole person they unburden their trouble upon.  I'm like the secret keeper of so many people right now it's not even funny.  I mean, I'm trustworthy about stuff that matters, but it just really sunk in today when I had three different guy friends all telling me their problems and asking advice at the exact same time (and they wondered why I took such a long time to reply...haha).  Unlike Peter Pettigrew, I can actually keep secrets ;).  

Stuffff

So I haven't updated in a while.  Wow, like I always start my posts with that sentence, or some variation.  But I really have been busy.  I was looking at my blog entry from exactly a year ago and it was in the middle of performances then, too.  Only, the major difference (one of the many, I suppose) is that it's sunny, not snowing, today!  Am I honestly talking about the weather in my blog?  That's kinda sad.  Anyhoo, I've been having fun as a techie for Grease.  Oh, and yesterday I saw the new Office episode with like four of my friends at a friend's house before the show.  That was pretty fantastic.  Then, one of my friends started a talk show like commentary on my life calling for help from the 'audience' (the three other friends).  It was pretty hilarious, kinda annoying.  As odd as it is, I've been listening to lots of music by Jordin Sparks lately-- she has such a gorgeous voice.  I especially love the songs "Tattoo" and "No Air" (with Chris Brown-- he has such a sweet voice).  This led me to listen to Chris Brown music (a HUGE departure from the alternative stuff I listen to).  So, I like the song "With You" by Chris Brown, too, and I'm exploring the other music he sings, too.  My taste in music changes and expands on recommendations by friends.  That's what happened with this; I was bugged to listen to "No Air" because my friend wanted my opinion on if he could pull off singing the male part of the song.  Then, I was hooked.  I think I might have slightly offended my friend when I went, "Wow, this is actually good!" with such surprise...haha.  I haven't had coffee in ages, and I'm tired so I think I might just walk to The Udder Place or Dunkin Donuts and get some.   

100 Posts

So, this is my 100th post, so I looked through and read all of the posts up until this point.  I've really changed a lot since I first started posting, and the blog is really different, too.  Like, at first it was just going to be a blog about writing.  Then, by the time I got to the third post I was b*tching about middle school drama and blackmail.  This is all back at the beginning of February.  It's interesting reading back through things, because usually most of the posts are directed at specific people by the time I get to the end of February, and directed at specific events that I vaguely refer to.  At the beginning of March the posts get really short and are mostly all 'I'm really tired' or 'dramatic stuff is going on that I don't want to talk about'.  That is, with the exception of March 3rd, where I said that I thought math was cool :).  On March 8th I'm all *squee* about things that I actually talk about in the blog (so much for it being a writing blog).  Then it's April and the play is being performed, so I'm talking about how much fun I have backstage with people.  Then, I essentially talk about how I'm in a great mood up until March 20th, with lots of cryptic posts that are pretty hilarious.  The school year comes to an end and I freak out about going to high school and missing all of my girls friends.  All of the comments are 'it's going to be FINE', which, ironically, was wrong.   I mean, it worked out in the end, but like the school I originally went to didn't work out.  I get braces in June, and nothing happens in July.  August, I have fun and learn trig with a friend, along with pride myself in how I'm starting to worry less.  That really was a load of B.S., since I was still super uptight.  Then it's September and I decide to transfer to Deering.  I don't write for awhile, and then I post on September 25th going on in capital letters about how Deering was going 'REALLY WELL' for me (it was going ok, but I was still in the whole wow-I-wasn't-planning-on-any-of-this-stage of transferring haha).  In October most of my posts are about giving relationship advice to guy friends.  Ironically, I'm still giving the same advice to the same people (at least they listen to me a little better now...).  I didn't write in November.  In December I talk about debate, and January I talk about my laptop and fan fiction.  February and March lots of stuff was going on-- some good, some bad, some just confusing, and my posts are long and all over the place.  And now it's April.  I wonder what the next 100 posts will bring.  It was a long post, so comment, mkay?
