Turnin Time Around

She says, what do you call love
well I call it Harry
Oh, please I'm being serious
what do you call love
Well I don't call it family and I don't call it lust
and as we all know marriage isn't a must
And I suppose in the end, it's a matter of trust
if I had to I'd call love time
She says, what do you call love
can't you be more specific
What do you call love
is it more than the heart's hieroglyphic
Well for me time has no meaning, no future, no past
and when you're in love, you don't have to ask
There's never enough time to hold love in your grasp
turning time around
Turning time around
that is what love is
Turning time around
yes, that is what love is
My time is your time when you're in love
and time is what you never have enough of
You can't see or hold it, it's exactly like love
Turning time around
turning time around
Turning time around
turning time around
Turning time around
well I gotta have it
I gotta-gotta-gotta have it
Turning, turning time around
gotta have it, turning time around
Turning, turning time around
turning time around

So... it's late. Or early. I don't know. I've been up a very long time. My mom, grandma, and I were at Khol's at 4:55 this morning, waiting for the doors to open. We shopped for about 5 hours. Lots of fun, and I got lots of stuff, but I am very tired. I don't know why I'm still up. My parents are out at Matt's gig (they all went in a limo with freinds and stuff...). My brother is sleeping. I've been online way too long.

RENT was absolutely amazing. Anthony Rapp is the coolest ever. He's very chill and interestinff and friendly. (Not to mention adorable.) Jaime and Molly and I had tons of fun, along with a couple new people we met, Jonathan and Jess, and her twin Jen. They go on the same Rent site I do, so it's good fun. We all live in the same general area, and we're going to go see the show together when it comes in April.

Not too much else to write about. I have to get some sleep... lots of homework left to do over the weekend, and I have work tomorrow and stuff. Ah, so much to do, as always. More later.

Love to all cause love is good!

Tear Me Down

I was born on the other side
Of a town ripped in two
I made it over the great divide
Now I'm coming for you

Enemies and adversaries
They try and tear me down
You want me baby, I dare you
Try and tear me down

I rose from off of the doctor's slab
Like Lazarus from the pit
Now everyone wants to take a stab
And decorate me
With blood, graffiti and spit

Enemies and adversaries
They try to tear me down
You want me, baby, I dare you
Try and tear me down

On August 13, 1961,
A wall was erected
Down the middle of the city of Berlin
The world was divided by a cold war
And the Berlin Wall
Was the most hated symbol of that divide
Reviled, graffitied, spit upon
We thought the wall would stand forever
And now that it's gone
We don't know who we are anymore
Ladies and gentlemen
Hedwig is like that wall
Standing before you in the divide
Between East and West
Slavery and freedom
Man and woman
Top and bottom
And you can try and tear her down
But before you do
You must remember one thing--

There ain't much of a difference
Between a bridge and a wall
Without me right in the middle, babe
You would be nothing at all

Enemies and adversaries
They try and tear me down
You want me, baby, I dare you
Try and tear me down

Ahh, John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask are geniuses.

Not a whole lot new since the other day... Had a dentist appointment today, found out I had my first cavity ever (damn braces). Novicane and a filling... weird stuff. No more of that, thank you. Ended up meaining no eating for 4 hours, for a total of no eating for 8 hours.

Braces coming off on Monday!!! HOORAY!!! OMG so exciting.

Going to see Rent in like... 4 days. Holy shit. It will be so fucking amazing. ahhh! Anthony Rapp is so awesome. He was in Hedwig too... Man, he can't get much better than that.

But anywho. It's time to go to bed... history test tomorrow. Enjoy my new fabulous blog... all Hediwg-and-Rentified! LOL. Plastic bedsheets... it's a tablecloth for your bed!

Wicked Little Town

You know, the sun is in your eyes
And hurricanes and rains
and black and cloudy skies.

You're running up and down that hill.
You turn it on and off at will.
There's nothing here to thrill
or bring you down.
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
through the dark turns and noise
of this wicked little town.

Oh Lady, luck has led you here
and they're so twisted up
they'll twist you up. I fear.

the pious, hateful and devout,
you're turning tricks til you're turned out,
the wind so cold it burns,
you're burning out and blowing round.
And if you've got no other choice
you know you can follow my voice
through the dark turns and noise
of this wicked little town.

The fates are vicious and they're cruel.
You learn too late you've used two wishes
like a fool

and then you're someone you are not,
and Junction City ain't the spot,
remember Mrs. Lot
and when she turned around.
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
through the dark turns and noise
of this wicked little town.

Hey guys! It's my half birthday today! And what a day it has been! But we'll get back to the school day interesting stuff later. Right now I have the most interesting thing to talk about!

Jaime and Molly and I are going to see Anthony Rapp at a RENT screening on November 19th. HOLY FUCK. Like, just yesterday Jaime and I found out about this thing in New York.. a screening of Hedwig, and John Cameron Mitchell was going to be there. So last night we were like... shit we gotta pray our asses off tonight, to whatever gods it takes. And so we did. And no, we are not going to see JCM right now. But instead we were sent this... Anthony Rapp (who was in Hedwig and one point, holy shit), and RENT, which we haven't seen yet. OMG we are so fucking excited. Dude it's going to be amazing. Seriously you people have no IDEA how excited I am right now.

Okay on to other exciting things of today. For now that I think about it, it has been quite the day. Went on a Spanish field trip. Bus ride. Bio homework with Josh. On bus for long time. Toured Pilsen neighborhood. Cold weather. Amazing murals. Mexican Fine Arts Museum. Toured exhibits. Cool ofrendas. Amazing work called Death Trinity. Chipotle. Ate food. Really good burrito bol. Really squished booth of 6 people. Bus home. More bio homework with Josh. On bus for even longer time.

Turn of backstage light. In office. Alan Ball at show *yay yay yay*. Go visit in theatre. Set up for intermission. Look at pictures on google. Dead actors Etel thinks are hot. Old boyfriends now famous. Liz sick. Leaves. Talk to Alan at intermission. Love him. Smile. Intermission over. Hugs and kisses w/ Alan. Put away pop and candy. Leave theatre. Think how depressing it is man over 40 makes me so happy. More depressing I spend so much time with 70 something lady. Home. Still here. Have not magically flown to hip New York theatre scene.

Online. Brother and friend playing videogames. IM. Jaime and Molly. Interlochen site. Rent tickets. Ryan Rudolph. Song I can't download. Blog. Emptiness. Hollow despite blog of wonderfulness. Still 15. And a half. Still in love. With worlds that don't love back.
