The Icon Faerie

If we do not do "Into the Woods" next year, I think I will have to cry. If we do "How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" I might have to hang myself.

::laments at lack of drama camp in the Midwest::

phantim, we must talk and revive Reparo with stuff. Because we're cool like that. I will IM you or something. "Something."

Ha. Yeah, I'm leaving now.

1. I am so not ready for the ACT tomorrow.

2. Also, what sort of toys do you people use to get screen captures off a DVD?

3. Anyone want to share Dissendium!Arthur wif me? Pwease?

Oh wow. Tonight was the variety show at the high school. I think if we had actual winners, Rachel and Andrew would have won hands down. Rachel is my best friend, and Andrew is her older brother, also the middle school band instructor. They sang "Come What May" from Moulin Rouge, and it was just so damn beautiful. They were looking at each other the entire time and it was just so cute. They are both super talented. I thought Kate and I were going to burst into tears. They had a really REALLY long applause.

A close second would probably be "House on Stilts" -- a band of three guys in my class. Cody singing, Adam on guitar, and Zach on drums. They did "Slide" by the Goo Goo Dolls... and let's say Cody definitely knows how to dress like a rock star. Vinyl pants, no shirt (but one hell of a fur coat), and sunglasses. :) I would expect nothing less of the boy.

And Rachel lent me "Into the Woods" to watch. I watched it once and I want to do it next year even more. I swear if they choose "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" I'm going to have to hurt someone. "The Sound of Music" wouldn't be as bad, but. Still. Rachel said she won't do it if its "The Sound of Music" and it would be really sad to do it without her. (Like she could stay away, but. :P) I'm going to do everything in my power (which is almost nothing) to get "Into the Woods". And I even cried once.

School was long. I got a II on speech. I was incredibly bitter at the chamber choir. I screwed up on the last song and got yelled at by a senior whose panties are obviously too tight (which is amazing because I would have sworn up and down she didn't wear any).

My life is so depressingly predictable sometimes, its pathetic.

Kait has been InFidelius'd. Stick a Phillips in my forehead and call me screwed. >_< What's the deal with that anyway? Is that disclosable?

::represses her 'Claw urges::

Won my challenge for band, which means I move up a chair to second chair... out of fourteen... not too damn bad if I say so myself. But not for long. I think Sarah has this thing about me 'stealing' Rachel for a friend. o_O Or maybe I'm just paranoid. That's probably more likely.

But, um, Stephanie definitely pissed about footsy situation.

I really think that I need more sleep.

Waaaah I am so miserable. My throat hurts and I'm crying it hurts so bad, and then it hurts worse and I cry more. Gah. Vicious circle. I think my brother gave me his influenza. I DON'T WANT IT DARNIT!

But, aside from my physiological agony, it was a good day. Danny and Rachel was robbed with their two "I"s and one "II". They deserved all ones, yo, that was the best I've ever seen it. We got to see a lot of really good acts. Both "Into the Woods" ones sucked, which was rather disappointing.

Rachel and I had an amusing moment today. I was commenting randomly...

Me: Yeah, I didn't get much sleep last night... I had a third dream with Billy Boyd in a kilt.
Rachel: Yeah?
Me: Yeah. It was gooood.
[pause of silence]

And then the radio starts playing "Sweet Dreams of You" or something. It was the most hilarious thing that happened to me all day.

And I also got to witness Michael hitting on Rachel. It was so funny, because he'd been doing it all day but she didn't say anything until we stopped for supper on the way home, and she cornered me in the restroom. "Is Michael HITTING on me?!" Yah, Rachel. Am surprised it took you that long to figure it out. I love watching people flirt with each other. It makes me feel like I'm in a romantic comedy (because with Michael, it is doubtful that it could be anything but a comedy). Of course, I'm always the lead's sidekick. Its rather disappointing; I want a fairy tale of my own. :'(

And in even more disappointing news, Jake can't COME to the Valentine's Dance. Oh well, maybe I'll still go. I think I'll get Rachel and Little Joe and maybe Sara to do something with me instead. Because I really don't want to play fifth wheel to Katie, Clay, Stephanie, and Marco. Maybe I'll drag Rachel to see "Daredevil". Ben Affleck and Colin Farrell. In one movie. Cha-ching. Maybe Katie will set me up for prom.

And maybe Orlando Bloom and Elijah Wood will appear in my bed tonight. Pishaw, I'm full of silliness today. It must be the DayQuil.

Iowa State cracks me up.

From the letter they sent me:

Once upon a time in a universe far, far away, Elizabeth was reading "Catcher in the Rye", playing basketball, and stydying chemistry...

Well, I suppose one out of three isn't bad.

Of course, mother dearest said I'm not allowed to go there. Of course, it was all in jest. I wish she wouldn't do that, picking colleges to apply/go to is going to be tough enough.

marcus_flint_? oliver_wood_? Get yo' butts back home. Everyone's worried about you.

Have debate tomorrow. Can you all arrange for good vibes to be sent in my general direction tomorrow at 11:15 AM-1:10 PM CST? Fanks.

I just found out that we own "Flipper". As in Elijah Wood's "Flipper". I am so amused.

Today I was called a "tree-hugging, baby-killing liberal". While I was stunned, the girl was also quick to remark that she was surprised I wasn't left handed. (Although I have to admit, that's a good one.)

Simply because I said I found it interesting that most politicians who were pro-life were also pro-death penalty. I was torn between what I wanted to call her (something along the lines of a pushy, intolerant bible thumping conservative) and saying "thank you". Thankfully, Mr. Pickup put a quick end to the, ahem, "civilized discussion". I bet that's the last time he ever lets Roe vs. Wade be debated in his classroom. Am so happy that this class was Mr. Pickup's and not Mr. Butler's. I think Mr. Butler would use those words to describe me himself.

My debate is "Do you think the UN is effective?". I'm con side, which is good, and I'm paired with another con person. Yayee, go me. ::cheerleader moves::

Was also repressing the urge to kill the chamber choir members. They are apprently not aware that I would commit murder to be in chamber choir, and maybe Mrs. Dean should choose people who are willing to try, practice, and perform over those who can without a second thought. The brats.

But, rather than going and seeing TTT after school tomorrow, I am getting out half an hour early. Hurray. This is indeed a Good and Joyful Thing.

::makes "Sam Will Kill Me If I Try Anything" shirt::

Those must have been some really big good vibes you all sent me today. My speech kicked total ass. 39/40, baby!
