<3

I couldn't think of a title.

Anyway, I just wanted to mention that I love the movie Bicentennial Man. Really, I do. Robin Williams is amazing. And I think it's Robin Williams week because I don't think we've changed the channel since yesterday, and yesterday I watched part of Jack and part of Patch Adams.

So yeah.

Hold on, spider monkey.

Oh my good lord.

Just watched another Twilight clip. I'M IN LOVE. I'm literally SWOONING. I'm about ready to cry because it just is so... so... BEAUTIFUL. And Stephenie was in this clip. <3 She's my ultimate hero.


They don't really say much in the clip... I think it was the first time I'd heard Carlisle or Esme talk (well, the actors... whatever). And I'm in love with Alice. AND THE NOMADS. *swoons again* I want to steal Laurent. <333 I think it's cool the way they make it look like they're walking at normal speed, but they're actually walking ultra fast... You've just gotta watch the clip to see it.

There's also something that Edward says and I was kind of like WTF?! He calls Bella a SPIDER MONKEY. Maybe I don't remember that part. It doesn't seem like a very Edward thing to say. But perhaps I don't "get" Edward. Stephenie said that she's surprised by the heaps of fanfiction that she reads where Edward is just... wrong. That's kind of why I'm so scared to write Twilight fanfiction (even though I'm working on one right now XD). ANYWAY, it's not like it's terrible that he calls her a spider monkey or anything, it's just a little... weird to me. But I'm open for anything. If Stephenie likes it, then I like it. And that is that.

The Beatles.

I love The Beatles. <333

I just thought I'd put that out there for people to know.

And I'm not one of those 'jump on the band wagon,' 'I saw Across The Universe and now I like The Beatles' sort of people. I've always loved them. My mom loves them. They were pretty much the first music I was introduced to, and it's going to be the same way with my children. There's no better music than The Beatles.

Soooo I'm updating my iTunes with a bunch of my mom's Beatles CDs. They're the old CDs, the ones that came out in like 1987, so the sound quality is poor. ;_; But it's better than nothing, you know?

Money, Money, Money.

...Is a good song. ABBA=<3

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO HAVE MONEY. All I do is spend it on things that I don't really need! I just bought two music books. Why? Because I felt like it. I found Musical Theater Anthology books WITH accompaniment CDs for a fairly good price, so I BOUGHT THEM. I mean, it's hard to find good music books for mezzo-soprano, and I was pretty much in love when I saw the first book had By the Sea and The Worst Pies in London from Sweeney Todd. PLUS I signed up for a free trial of Amazon Prime, so I got free two day shipping. This is like the time I went to the silent auction. I freaking flipped out and bought a bunch of crap. But sometimes these splurges end up with good things, like my iPod mini. That was the greatest investment ever. I mean, I don't use it any more... I now have an 80GB iPod classic that is pretty much my entire life. But you catch my meaning.

Wellll, I need to work on graduation stuff again. I've already made two sizes of invitation, and I'm gonna start addressing envelopes for the FAAAANCY invitations that only select people are receiving. I guess all I have now is to do that, actually get the invitations printed, aaaand probably just clean house (although I'll most likely do the cleaning/house work during my free week.

OFF TO WORK ON GRADUATION CRAP!

Bored.

Soooo, a lot has been happening lately, which is why I've chosen to neglect my blog for a while. I just finished with district music yesterday (everything I was in received a I, which leads me to the conclusion that everything I touch turns to GOLD). I had a bunch of homework being piled on me, too. I think the teachers decided to try giving the seniors as much homework as possible before we graduate. O_o;;

Graduation. Yeah, that's another thing that's going to force me to neglect this a little bit. In fact, I should be getting in the shower right now so I can use the rest of my day to make invitations and complete my guest list, but I'm not. Instead I'm eating cold pizza and writing in my blog. Naughty, naughty...

And because I'm worried that my dad will come up here and get mad at me for not being in the shower, I'll cut this short. Perhaps I'll elaborate about stuff later. You never know.

Hmmm.

So, a lot has happened in the past few days, but I don't feel like talking about it. Instead, I want to declare that I'm going to write myself a cover for Ingrid Michaelson's "The Way I Am" (commonly known as "The Sweater Song" from the Old Navy commercials). I want to write a cover version and then I want to try arranging my own S.S.A. (soprano, soprano 2, alto) version. I doubt I'll be able to do it, but I figure if I try really hard and come up with something, my choir teacher will fix it/write his own version and then let our jazz choir (all women!) sing it for the final concert. He looooves Ingrid Michaelson, so I'm thinking it could work. But I want to write a cover version because I'm going to audition for a local version of American Idol... It's just a small town fair, but I want to do it, and I want to sing Ingrid Michaelson. I might sing some Norah Jones too. Or perhaps Melanie Safka...

"I got a brand new pair of roller skates, you got a brand new key..."

GREAT SONG.

Well, I'm off to listen to some music. xD

It Don't Mean a Thing!

...If it ain't got that swing! Doowah doowah doowah doowah doowah doowah doowahhhh!

xD

Listening to Broadway's Best on Sirius Satellite. SETH'S BIG FAT BROADWAY!!!! <3 And I listened to the London revival of The Sound of Music earlier... They had the entire CD. Oh my gosh, so good.

And now I'm just thinking about the cast of Twilight. I'm a little miffed about certain characters. I was really hopeful that Ellen Page would be Bella... Seeing her in Juno really made me think that she could be Bella. I mean, Juno is just sort of a super cranky, opinionated Bella anyway. Plus I'm not a huge Kristen Stewart fan, but I think she'll do the part justice... I hope.

As for Robert Pattinson... OH MY GOD. The only thing better than him being Edward would be him showing up at my door to take me to prom. Sorry, Jordan. I'd definitely stand you up to go with my beautiful, beautiful Cedric. *sigh* The rest of the Cullens didn't really ring bells for me right away, but GEEZ LOUISE, I think Jasper is ADORABLE. The pictures of him smiling on Stephenie Meyer's website... God, I'm in love. And I'm really excited about Kellan Lutz. I didn't recognize him at first, but when I saw that he's one of the guys in Stick It, I was convinced he was perfect. Emmett is definitely a goofball, a big brother type with a bit of an ego. Kellan Lutz can do that.

Nowwww, Twilight Layouts for You (c) on Myspace posted a bulletin saying that Taylor something-or-other is going to play Jacob. FREAKING SHARK BOY. My sister is excited 'cause she thinks he's cute, but I was like "UGH WHATEVER." Unless they're planning to switch him out by New Moon. I don't think he can do older Jacob... But I guess I'm not in charge so it doesn't matter.


I don't remember what else I was going to complain about. But I guess I should stop typing. My hand feels funny... It keeps doing this weird thing where something in my hand moves that I'm pretty sure isn't supposed to move. Maybe I should get that checked out.
