06:07 pm Apathy is my weapon of choice, and I wield it with the power of a thousand men. Oh, and god do I love love love "Into the Woods." If ever there was a musical that combined wonderful, intelligent storytelling with some poignant truths, it's bound to be that one. Oh... and "Avenue Q" as well. Being stricken with nausea every few minutes is somewhat unpleasant, to say the least. But with my new credo I say: oh well. It'll pass eventually. In the meantime, much sleep. Current Mood: apathetic Current Music: The Shins

03:53 pm - An Ode to the AP Chemistry Exam Alack, o AP Chemistry: Thou hast triumphed victoriously. My soul resides in agony, And life's a vale of misery. Why hast thou got it in for me? I beg of you to set me free, Yet you refuse to humor me And chuckle somewhat evilly. Current Mood: IT'S OVER! Tags: school

04:22 pm Ok, so two ASU classes I may be taking next fall are: Political Ideologies Accelerated French I&II The only problem is that the French class is Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-8:30 pm. AARGH! That's not possible. I would like to have a life, you know! Unless I only take the fall class? Oh, but the thought of college... the stupid class is so necessary... why can't I just drop out, get a GED and move to some third world country, it would be so much easier that way! Suggestions? Current Mood: indecisive

01:53 pm Okay. This is like the calm before the torrential storm. Three out of four AP exams are over (yessss! yesss!), but Chemistry looms like the great kraken beast, the Moby Dick that bides its time beneath the waves, knowing that it doesn't really matter what I do--I will be helpless in the face of its monstrous fury and it will pick up my tiny boat of intellectual knowledge and squeeze it into splinters. Oh well. What can you do. On the plus side, all my other AP tests are over, tomorrow I'll have taken my SAT IIs and forgotten all about them, and I get to go to Little Rock and eat sushi and see old friends and stuff. Ahh, summer. So close and yet so far. Where did this year go, again? Current Mood: contemplative

03:23 pm AP tests are upon us and I am going to spontaneously combust any moment now. I just want summer to be here. And Gov School. And I'd like to get there by skipping over the days that the seniors are gone, and I am stuck alone in Edie's class 1st period, awkwardly trying not to be noticed or get involved with conversation. Oooh, I'm dreading the coming weeks. And I get to go to Little Rock this weekend! Current Mood: tired

02:45 pm Prom. Oh my. It's tomorrow. I feel tired, overwhelmed, full, broke, nervous, disinterested, and kindasorta excited all simultaneously. There is still much that needs to be done, Beauty and the Beast is an utter nightmare, AP tests in three weeks, and I haven't heard from gov school. OY! P.S. I think I might have mono. Current Mood: exanimate

11:48 pm It's not that I have nothing to say, it's that life is too busy to update. In short, as seems to be the norm now: "Anne Frank" is over. I still can't quite believe it happened. It was, to be quite honest, probably the best experience of my life. "Beauty and the Beast" is going on. It's ok. I play a skank. I definitely would have skipped this play if not for all the friends who are in it. I am currently on a massive theater overload, am extremely tired, and just want to have time to sit down and read for a few hours. Dammit! TKD boy... it seems I have finally realized the irrationality of that one. And moved on elsewhere; if not to bigger and better things, then... well, moved on someplace anyway. I need to start writing again. I'm so very fucking tired. Current Mood: groggy

05:15 pm Aaah "Beauty and the Beast" cast posted tomorrow morning! Though really, I'm not nearly as much of a nervous wreck about this as I was for "Diary." That meant more. This, a school musical... I want something good, but don't really care if I'm the lead or not. It's actually kind of nice for a change to not be freaking out as much as some people. Anyway, tomorrow we'll see. Current Mood: contemplative

05:32 pm So. Today I went to the Forum to work on "Diary" set. I was asked to go to Home Depot or some similar hardware store to get some drill bits. Ashley, who was there helping build too, went with me in my car. As I was backing out of the parking lot, I hit the guy parked behind me. My first official wreck! I even have pictures!!! However, it is not as exciting as it seems, in fact it really sucks because my car is pretty badly banged up in the back. Rear bumper will have to be replaced along with other things. Luckily you can't even see anything on the other guy's car (though he still called the cops and talked about getting his bumper fixed, even though neither Ashley nor Kent nor I saw the need for anything, and my father is actually pretty ticked at that). But the back of my car... baaaad. I'm not sure how to feel about this. I mean I feel stupid and shaken, but not really anything else. Parents weren't as bad as I expected, mostly just happy that it wasn't any worse and that I am ok. Of course it may get worse once we get an estimate on the damages. Damn. I've had the car for barely over a month. Does that make me a stupid irrisponsible spoiled brat or what? Current Mood: shaken

10:39 pm I think I've been massively stressed lately: my face is breaking out. Rehearsals are long, tedious, but sometimes full of wonderful golden moments. Beauty and the Beast tryouts coming up (who will I be? Oh the suspense!). And I've been a little sad lately... Cute TKD Boy is, of course, completely out of the question even as friends. Sigh. Thus life continues. Current Mood: crushed

12:16 pm - 43 Things 43 Things is a website where you put 43 goals (the number seems to have been chosen at random; but then, why not 43?) which you hope to accomplish during the course of your life. I think it's a fantastic idea. It's incredible the type of goals people have set for themselves, they range from random ordinary stuff like "learn French" or "buy a computer" to more odd things like "see the Daily Show live" to more, I guess you would call it existential stuff, like "appreciate the little things" and "fall in love." I haven't set 43 goals yet--I think it's kind of impossible to come up with 43 things I want to do during my entire life in the span of an hour or so--but I have a few ideas, they are at my page. One thing I'm going to get started on the day after tomorrow is a yearlong picture collection thing. I think it would be neat to take a single picture every day, for 365 days, and just see what kind of compendium of the year it turns out to be. Just one picture a day (no more), so I'd really have to think about what aspect of each day I'd like to capture. Hopefully it'll work. New year's is almost upon us. Um... hurrah? Current Mood: determined Tags: cool stuff

05:11 pm Things... god, I don't ever feel like writing anything anymore... it seems that just giving a general update of life is the way to go. So. Went to Aruba (didn't find Natalie). Got part of Anne Frank in "Diary of". Had Christmannukah and survived. Have not had a wreck on the car yet. Don't feel like working on peace essay as it's the holidays. Have suddenly come to appreciate the cost of gas. Got lots of new music and am enjoying it. I can't go to Little Rock for New Year's and that really sucks. The only thing that makes up for the fact that school starts back on Monday is that "Diary" rehearsals begin on Tuesday. I've been going out a lot with friends lately... yes, driving does have its perks... and ha, dinner somewhere other than home today. Hurrah! I'm really starting to hate being stuck in this house, and am sort of starting to dislike the people in it. Current Mood: tired Current Music: "Better Version of Me" - Fiona Apple

04:42 pm Lots has happened, and I've been too maddeningly busy to update, and life is very stressful at the moment, and a crazy amount of things is coming up very very soon--but this must be said. I got a car. Tee hee. There's definitely something to be said for turning a definitive age such as 16 (as opposed to, say, 15, or 22, or 58). Current Mood: giddy

November 24th, 2005

08:31 pm Aha! Finished my NaNo novel a few minutes ago. At 71,399 words it's just under 9000 words shorter than last year's but still longer than the year before that. And I like it. This time I think I actually got a decent story done. And most of the ending/climax/resolution was done today, since I went on an 11,000 word binge today to get everything done before I leave for St. Louis to see Wicked. I have to get up freakishly early in the morning. Not fun. But NaNo is done, so I celebrate! (On the topic of the National Peace Essay, though, I am so screwed there is no use even trying to describe it. Seriously. It's due next Thursday, the library was closed yesterday and today so I still haven't done 90% of my research, and I've got about 2 pages written and I can tell already that if I ever finish it, and that's a big if, it will be massively over the word limit. Dammit, NaNo! You've made me inflate my wordcount! Anyway. The way I see it, there is perfect and legitimate reason to panic and skip school all of next week in a frantic effort to get the damn paper done.) Current Mood: chipper Tags: school, writing

09:55 pm What am I doing right now? Procrastinating on an essay. Ignoring NaNoWriMo (I've got the 50k but I really need to finish the story.) Listening to Rent. Being ohmygod excited about the movie, which comes out on Wednesday (!!!). Wondering if there was ever any point in being in the musical "Scrooge", since it kind of sucks. Freaking out about National Peace Essay, which is due December 1. But mostly feeling excited about Rent. Oh, and Wicked, which I am going to see this Friday. Hurrah! Current Mood: bouncy Current Music: "Rent", from Rent

November 2nd, 2005

09:40 pm So. Halloween. I scared some little children to the point of tears: this was an accomplishment, and surely a much better way to spend this holiday than running around begging for candy. Why do that, when I can steal it from my brother? Also, NaNoWriMo has begun, and I am facing it with a feeling akin to... can it be... dread. Maybe because I have to write the National Peace Essay this month too and I have no idea, meaning none whatsoever, as to what I am doing. I went to the ASU library today to look up stuff and couldn't even figure out how to do a periodical search. Sometimes this makes me want to curl up in a corner and cry. Besides that, school's been boring as usual, I'm in a play, at taekwondo I'm playing with sai. I smile at the last part. The rest... eh. Right, end of procrastination, back to writing my novel. Current Mood: panicked

October 23rd, 2005

10:09 pm So I figure it's about time to write again--why not? I took the ACT. It was heinous. I saw the Forum play "Misery" (yes, the one based one the Stephen King book) twice. It was amazing, fantastic, creepy, psychologically scarring, and it gave me eerie dreams the night after I first saw it. I am thrilled that the Forum people decided to take a chance and produce a more "adult" play, despite the fact that we live in Jonesboro, apparent center of Bible-mania. I do not understand AP Chemistry in the least. I have to write the National Peace Essay in a month. In this respect, I am royally fucked. I am going to be scaring children at a Halloween party at my taekwondo place the Monday after tomorrow. This is a highly anticipated event. My grandparents have arrived from the Motherland. Besides that, life's been besieged with school and school-related doings, and I got beat out at state tennis by Savannah McMath. Current Mood: bitchy

08:29 pm Jonesboro finally has a good Japanese restaurant called Fuji. It's got an awesome hibachi grill and out of this world sushi. Hurrah! Also, I dyed my hair black today. It is kind of blue. I feel very Slavic, as opposed to slightly Jewish. Current Mood: accomplished

11:37 pm Har har. Just finished outlining my NaNo 2005 novel. I really don't have time to write it but I intend to anyway. It has a character called Carmeline in it, and talking rats, and a man who sells (among other things) human testicles. I'm really very tired now. Thank god it's the weekend. School has sucked. I don't understand AP Chemistry at all. Current Mood: exhausted Tags: school, writing
