When your best friend (who is male) decides to quote lines from the Notebook as you leave....it doesn't help.

Sad times

2008-08-17T19:07:00.000-07:00

So Seussical ended today. It's amazing to me how different people say goodbye. Some people go around and let everyone know they're leaving with loud trumpets and fanfare (don't really care about them). Some just try to sneak quietly out the back without letting anyone know. I just go to the few people I care about and hug them. It's also funny how different the goodbyes are. I thought for sure it would be horribly hard saying goodbye to Charis, Mary Jo, and Natalie. Yea, it was...but not nearly as hard as saying goodbye to Shane. I wasn't even that close with him but his sincerity and honest sadness at my leaving made me want to stay forever. Thank you Shane, for making me realize I have genuine emotions of sadness (which are never ever exhibited). I'll miss all my Seussical peeps (Charis, Mary Jo, Natalie, Shane, Hollie, Heidi, Star, Justin, John, Tiffany). I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's hot as Balzac.

Went to see Mamma Mia with Will today. We were the only people in the theater. It was wicked awesome. We sang out loud to every song and danced and sat on railings and laid across three seats at a time. We were wild. But no one cared. Cuz it was just us. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in the mood to spread a blanket out on my living room floor put in a movie that I love and eat Little Ceasar's pizza. I just may do that.

Why isn't Colonel George Fitzwilliam in every play/movie/version of Pride and Prejudice? He is wonderfully congenial and of all the characters the one I would most likely want to marry. He is a sorely understated character. I read Mr. Darcy's Wife (a sequel to P&P written by Linda Berdoli. It looks like a respectable novel, and at points is on, but mainly is a romance novel. My friends and I have dubbed it the Darcy Porno...) and Fitzwilliam is a predominate character. He is full of kindness and perfectly wonderful. I think if I didn't believe that Darcy and Elizabeth belong together I would really like Elizabeth with Fitzwilliam (he wants the same. In the Darcy Porno this is very obvious and very sad. Unrequited love is the saddest ever.)

The Ultimate Evil

2008-08-13T20:24:00.001-07:00

I'm in a slight state of shock. One of my friends is very seriously writing a book and she told me I'm in her acknowledgements because I've supported this story so much. Fun thing is I've only met the girl once. I guess I feel kinda in awe and very undeserving of this honor. I really hope she gets it published. If you want to read bits from her story you can check the blogs I read on the right side of the page. Madison loves to write is my friends webpage. Her story is a fantasy book for Young Adults (mainly middle-school boys I believe she said). Nonetheless I think it is fabulous. Kudos, Madison and I really hope you get it published. I know I'll buy it the moment it hits shelves!

Amazing Grace

2008-08-13T15:03:00.001-07:00

I just saw Amazing Grace. It's amazing. It's the story of William Wilberforce who is campaigning the end of the British slave trade. Ioan Gruffudd (pronounced yo-whan griffiths) plays Wilberforce. And does an amazing job. I first saw Ioan in Fantastic Four where he was decent...but not the hot Chris Evans. Ioan is incredibly attractive in period costumes and my belief is that he should always play period roles. He also is a very impressive actor which adds many many points...

I have way to many books that I want to read.

It's been a long time

2008-08-12T21:19:00.000-07:00

So it's been a while since I posted anything. Figures. I knew I wouldn't write a lot. Just so you know I am alive. This weekend is my final week of Seussical. I'm gonna miss it. It's been a great experience playing a Who and meeting all the awesome people I did meet. It's kinda weird because I know I'll most likely never see any of these people again (except Tiffany) since I'm going off to college in a week. It's little things like that that are recently dawning on me. I'm watching Jeeves and Wooster right now. For those of you who don't know it's an A&E series based on short stories by P.G. Wodehouse. It's pretty funny (considering it stars Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry). I'm also currently reading The Italian by Elaine Coffman. This is one sorry excuse for a Romance Novel. It's supposed to be a romance novel but Ms. Coffman tries to make it seem like a legitimate novel but her writing skills are so atrocious that it just doesn't work. Can't wait to let Emily borrow it and see for herself what an awful book it is.

Penelope Soundtrack

2008-07-24T12:56:00.000-07:00

I just listened to the soundtrack for Penelope. I love it as much as I love the movie. Especially The Piano Song by Meiko. Super super cute!

Merlin's Apprentice

2008-07-24T09:53:00.000-07:00

Yep, another movie review. There's not much to do at my aunt's house but there are free movies on demand. Anyway, Merlin's Apprentice is about what the title says it's about. I really enjoy anything relating to King Arthur or medieval life. Normally. I've found that lately I don't enjoy any live action movies set in the time period. Somehow they don't work for me. I love any book and any animated movie (Quest for Camleot...LOVE IT) just not live action. But back to Merlin's Apprentice. It was a little long and had a nice Alanna-esque subplot (if you've ever read Tamora Pierce you understand). There were roughly twenty different points where the movie could have ended. Oh, look this one is sad....oh, a reunion....finally, happy. It is Hallmark after all.

Family Plan

2008-07-23T21:30:00.000-07:00

I also watched Family Plan. It's really cute. Even though I hate Tori Spelling. The plotline is simple. Tori's character (Charlie) hires an actor to pretend to be her husband so she can get a job. Predictable but cute. I'm a sucker for chick-flicks.

Penelope

2008-07-23T21:16:00.001-07:00

I just saw the movie Penelope. AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I highly recommend this movie to anyone! It's about a girl who is cursed with a pig nose. Sounds stupid, I know. But it's amazing. It's remarkable to me that Christina Ricci can still be absolutely beautiful even when she has a pig's nose. And James McAvoy....don't get me started. I decided (after watching this movie especially, even though I already knew that I liked him) that he will be my future husband. I really really really think he's cute. And his character is....gah! Perfect! I want a guy just like this character. So maybe this character will be my new husband. I have an issue with fictional characters....I'm constantly attracted to them.

Quote:

Annie: So what are you hiding from the law or is it just a bad nose job?
Penelope: Mhm, bad nose job.

Good dog, bad dog

2008-07-23T11:49:00.000-07:00

So I've decide that I like one of the dogs I'm watching (Sophie) and strongly dislike the other (Gracie). Sophie is perfectly content to just lie there and watch me read. Gracie is an attention whore. Gracie woke me up last night at 1:30 demanding to go out. After spending fifteen minutes outside, five minutes after she comes in she wants back out. Finally I just slept in the basement so she wouldn't keep waking me. Maybe I'm a bad dog sitter. Screw it. Sleep is way more important than two spoiled dogs.

Here we go!

2008-07-22T13:56:00.000-07:00

So here we go. No clue what inspired me to create a blog. (that's a lie. I saw my mom's blog). I guarantee you that I will only use this blog for about a month. Then I'll get way to lazy to do anything else with it. Oh well. For now, here we go. I suppose another reason for starting this was boredom. I'm currently dog-sitting my aunt's dogs. BORING!!!!!!!!!!!! There is nothing to do but watch TV, read (not inspired by this book....I don't really care about cotton), and...well, exercise. But I'm to lazy for that last one. I could use to get in shape but I'm already in a musical working my butt off. That's plenty of work for me. I should go play with the dogs. Later!
