X & Y

Trying hard to speak and
Fighting with my weak hand
Driven to distraction
So part of the plan
When something is broken
And you try to fix it
Trying to repair it
Any way you can
I'm diving off the deep end
You've become my best friend
I wanna love you
But I don't know if I can
~*~"X&Y" Coldplay

Coldplay is awesome. Anywho. Um... so it's been what, a week and a half since I posted. All that's really been going on is a shitload of homework... ARGH.

Um, yeah. Let's see... Friday I went and hung out at Jaime's house... We watched the last episode of this season's Degrassi and watched A Chorus Line and did dorky Rent things (cause Rent is awesome as hell!!!).

Saturday I went to Veggie Fest which was lots of fun. I had lots of yummy food and we got recipies so I can actually eat food at my house. That's a good thing.

Sunday I went biking in the afternoon and then in the evening I went with my dad and my brother to see the Body Worlds exhibit at MSI. It's very interesting, albeit creepy. Science happens to be that way often.

So then school started this week and I had more homework. Nothing interesting. Just lots and lots of homework. Tuesday was GSA and Michael is Vice! Yay Michael! Damn you Taylor and your superior secretary skills... thespians and GSA! Oh well. Michael and I are writing a letter on behalf of the GSA to the board cause they won't give us money to be an official club cause we have "gay" in our name. THEY SUCK! No. They're just ignorant (which sucks) but I'm not a hateful person.

This weekend I'm going away to South Dakota (aka the land of the old and boring) to go to my mom's cousin's wedding. It should be interesting. Maybe. Well it will be my first wedding since I was about a year old, so that's something. Though I doubt I'll have any internet access for like 4 days, which really does suck.

Okay well, as always, I have homework to do, so I'm off... Comment, if not on this, then on my poetry blog. http://breakthesylence.blogspot.com YAY.

Love to all cause love is good!

Fix You

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

High up above or down below
when you too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what your worth

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you


Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears streaming down your face and I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
~*~"Fix You" Coldplay

Not in a good mood. I don't really know why. Just tired probably. School has started again and all the sudden I have tons of homework... It's icky. My classes are ok, I have good teachers. It's just that I'm ridiculous and decided to take really hard classes so I have lots of homework. It has been good seeing everyone again though.

I had an awesome time in New York and New Jersey... Saw Avenue Q (so fuckin funny... omg) and went to NYU (if I don't get in, there's gonna be hell to pay... that is the coolest school EVER and I'm doing all the right things to be accepted). Anywho. Had a great time with Leslie; we saw Charlie twice while I was there, and went swimming and watched movies and talked... good stuff. Then I spent a couple days in NJ, pretty much funning around after a 2 yr old and a 5 yr old or watching Raffi/Barney/Thomas the Tank Engine/The Wiggles (EXTREMELY strange show... 4 Australian guys in brightly colored spandex... yeah.), but they're adorable so it's ok.

Spent this weekend doing all kinds of fun things... Friday night I went to see Love, Sex, and the IRS (Frank's show) with Jaime, and then she spent the night. We kicked her out because the Messersmiths were coming over at 2. They were over a long time, then my family went to see Anne of Green Gables: The Musical. I knew about half the cast in that one, including Cara. Cara's cast in Gifst of the Magi... I'll be working with her in November/December! YAY! Anywho. Sunday I went with Heather to an AYC meeting, then came back to go over to Jaime's house for a BBQ... Lots of fun.

Anywho. I better go, cause tons of people are IMing me and I'm not talking to them... More when I find the time!!!

Quiz Fun!

I've gotten addicted to quizzes now... They're very entertaining. So I took this one about evaluating your dvd collection and it was the funniest thing. Seriously I did not make it up!

Oh, you arty, independent thing.
Your DVD collection is a true "collection" – you've searched far and wide to find some of this stuff. Some people sing along with the radio when they're stuck in traffic, but you prefer to spend that time holding a fake conversation with the dude on your "learn Japanese" CD. You're planning to hang out with the locals on your future travels. Or maybe even on trips you've already made, like one of those movies where life happens in the wrong order. One request: if you invent a time travel machine to make life more like an indie film, please let us borrow it for just one hour. We're dying to go back in time and make out with a young Johnny Depp.

7% of the people who tooks this quiz got the same evaluation.

Crazy, right? Yeah. I know. Anyway, I'm off to take more quizzes before we go out for dinner. Tonight there's a new Degrassi! I gotta enjoy it while I can... We don't have Noggin back home. :( (or bravo or logo or movie channels)

Remedy (I Won't Worry)

I saw fireworks from the freeway and behind closed eyes
I cannot make them go away
Cause you were born on the fourth of july, freedom ring
now something on the surface it stings that something on the surface
it kind of makes me nervous
who says that you deserve this
and what kind of god would serve this?
We will cure this dirty old disease if you've got the poison
I've got the remedy

the remedy is the experience.
It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious.
Which is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
because it all amounts to nothing in the end.
I won't worry my life away.
I won't worry my life away.

I heard two men talking on the radio
in a cross fire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
they were counting down the days to stab the brother
in the be right back after this the unavoidable kiss,
where the minty fresh death
breath is sure to outlast his catastrophe
dance with me, because if you've got the poison,
I've got the remedy

the remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious.
Which is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
because it all amounts to nothing in the end.
I won't worry my life away.
I won't worry my life away.

When I fall in love I take my time
There's no need to hurry when
I'm making up my mind
You can turn off the sun but I'm still gonna shine
and I'll tell you why

Because the remedy is the experience.
It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious.
Which is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
because it all amounts to nothing in the end.
I won't worry my life away.
I won't worry my life away.
I won't and I won't and I won't

Hey guys. Haven't written lately cause I've been busy in NY. I got in on Saturday and Leslie and I saw Charlie on imax, got home and watched Arizona Dream and the tape my dad made of "Fiddler highlights" or something.

Sunday we watched Ed Wood and Blow, and talked and Leslie made yummy food for dinner. None of this is all too exciting for you guys I know. But I'm having fun. Monday was really cool cause we went into the city to see Avenue Q and we ate dinner at a really nice Italian place on 45th street. Avenue Q was really funny, even funnier than the soundtrack. I had a really good time and got to meet the actors afterwards and get autographs and stuff. I love Broadway for that - they all come out to sign autographs and take pictures and stuff.

Anyway. Tuesday was a relaxing day at home... went swimming, watched more movies, etc. Wednesday we took the bus into the city and then took the subway to the village. We went to an information session about and then took a tour of NYU. It was really cool. That's where I want to go for sure. I'd basically be going to school in NYC. As far as I'm concerned it couldn't get any better.

So yesterday Leslie drove me to New Jersey, where I'm staying with my pseudo-family. It's my dad's old college friend and his family, so they're like my aunt, uncle, and cousins (ages 2 and 5). So it's been fun. I'll be home tomorrow, and hopefully go see The Fantasticks again.

Sunday and Monday I have to finish my bio project, cause school starts Tuesday! Ugh. Monday I get to go to ITC though and see Frank and Mike Padden. Yay! lol. Anywho. I don't think I have much else to write about now. This seems lioke a long enough post anyway.

As Long As You're Mine

Kiss me too fiercely
Hold me too tight
I need help believing
You're with me tonight
My wildest dreaming
Could not forsee
Lying beside you
With you wanting me

Just for this moment
As long as you're mine
I've lost all resistance
And crossed some borderline
And if it turns out
It's over too fast
I'll make every last moment last
As long as you're mine...

Maybe I'm brainless
Maybe I'm wise
But you've got me seeing
Through different eyes
Somehow I've fallen
Under your spell
And somehow I'm feeling
It's "up" that I fell

Every moment
As long as you're mine
I'll wake up my body
And make up for lost time
Say there's no future
For us as a pair
And though I may know
I don't care

Just for this moment
As long as you're mine
Come be how you want to
And see how bright we shine
Borrow the moonlight
Until it is through
And know I'll be here holding you
As long as you're mine
~*~"As Long As You're Mine" Wicked


I saw Wicked again last night... It was awesome! Jaime and I went... My mom's name got pulled from the lottery but she couldn't go because she had a class. It was really cool. Jaime and I went to Borders to eat and then walked in the city a bit before the show. It was so much fun.

Today I went to see The Fantasticks. Mike T. told me not to come; he said it wasn't that good, but it was really funny. Mike Padden did a really great job. He's got such an amazing voice. Mike T. was so hilarious, even though his part was really small. It was good to see them again. I miss them all already... I'll get to see Mike Padden at auditions on the 15th. That's cool.

Oh look it's Friday now... Happy birthday Alice!

I leave tomorrow for New York! Woot! I'm so excited... {Random quote: "That's my place in the universe - I'm the system's bitch." I heard it on TV just now.} Ok well I don't have much else to write right now. Maybe I'll get some sleep tonight. Hah.

Dreams

World turns black and white
Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts fallin down
Better change your tune
Reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
Baby just spread your wings
Chorus:
We'll get higher and higher straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher leave it all behind
Run, run, run, away
Like a train runnin off the track
The truth gets left behind
And falls between the cracks
Standing on broken dreams
But never losing sight
Spread your wings
Chorus
So baby dry your eyes, save all the tears you've cried
Ohh that's what dreams are made of
Oh baby we belong in a world that must be strong
Ohh that's what dreams are made of
Solo Chorus
Higher and higher who knows what we'll find
And in the end on dreams we will depend
Cause thats what love is made of
~*~"Dreams" Van Halen

Just sittin here watching Best Week Ever. Haha. They're making fun of the weather people talking about the heat all the time. I love Best Week Ever. They're so fuckin funny.

So today was pretty boring. I slept in today! That was exciting. But other than that, I spent the day at home playing games with my family because my grandma is leaving tomorrow.

Damn. This show is funny even when you didn't see the thing they're talking about. They just make things sound stupid no matter what. Ha.

Wow. I really have nothing to talk about. I miss the cast already. And it was weird not to be at the theatre today. I'll be back on Wednesday though, to help out with callbacks, and then again on the 15th for Gifts of the Magi auditions. Frank will be there... I'll get to see him again! yay!

August

I've posted more stuff on my other blog. Read it, damn you!
By the way happy August everybody. I start school in like 15 days. Fuck.

Love to all cause love is good!

Tradition

Tradition tradition tradition
Tradition tradition tradition

Who day and night must scramble for a living
Feed a wife and children, say his daily prayers
And who has the right, as master of the house
To have the final word at home

The papa, the papa tradition
The papa, the papa tradition

Who must know the way to make a proper home
A quiet home, a kosher home
Who must raise a family and run the home
So papa's free to read the holy book

The mama, the mama tradition
The mama, the mama tradition

At three I started Hebrew school
At ten I learned a trade
I hear they picked a bride for me
I hope she's pretty

The sons, the sons traditon
The sons, the sons tradition

And who does mama teach
To mend and tend and fix
Preparing me to marry
Whoever papa picks

The daughters, the daughters tradition
The daughters, the daughters tradition
~*~"Tradition" Fiddler on the Roof

The tradition is over. I will not be at the theatre every day anymore. I will not see some of the coolest people ever all the time. There will be no more rides in Mike's car, or back rubs, or going out to eat, or teasing Frank, or anything. Fiddler is over. I am so sad right now. Plus Mitch was being an asshole earlier so whatever. I don't want to talk about it.

We had really good shows today I think. Especially tonight. But it was so sad, knowing I wouldn't be doing it again. I hate it when shows end. I'm very bad at saying goodbye, or leaving, or whatever. I've never been any good at it.

Emilie had a good birthday though, I think. We were at the theatre all day... in between shows and for a couple hours after. I personally spent 12 hours there today. Crazy, but fun. I know everyone is really tired. I of course, can not sleep to save my life right now.

I'm talking to Ryan. I saw him out skating tonight when we were dropping Jaime off. Sounds like he had his own adventure involving a gas can. lol. But anyway. That was random.

Much love to all the cast, whom I will miss very very much. Thanks to everybody for all you guys did for me... muah! And thanks to everyone who came for supporting me... I love having people see my shows! Yay for flowers!

I don't think I really have much of anything to write about. Seriously I'm just sad and don't know what to say. So goodnight.

Love to all cause love is good!
