We may just be reckless and think that we can do no wrong.

Probably only a couple of days before I keel over and die from eating bad berries/plants. Or too many mosquitos. Or of hypothermia from not being able to make a fire. I don't know.

Best Thing: Starting over completely, without any of the awkwardness that people usually associate with me.
Worst Thing: Having to make new friends, because I'm so awkward.

I cut out sodas from my diet. Completely. Just iced tea, lemonade, and water now.

Also - also, I have better study habits, which is good. Just habits in general.

So, I'm watching the 2007 movie of Sweeney Todd. I'm die-hard Stage Sweeney fan and I adore George Hearn.

So why am I so pleasantly surprised?

The cuts to the songs and dialogue are minor. There's enough for me to recognize. The ones I miss the most are the Ballads and the Beggar Woman's extended part. And the chorus parts. And the funny dialogue in A Little Priest. And Kiss Me! WHERE THE HELL IS "KISS ME"? If I didn't know about Kiss Me, I'd be calling Anthony a creppy stalker. But he isn't. So there.

Johnny Depp = Not bad. He's too quiet for me, personally. Not enough anger and emotion. His singing sounds like a sober Jack Sparrow and Epiphany was totally anticlimactic. Still. Not good, not horrible.

Helena Bonham Carter gets a good solid meh. She strains her voice on the higher notes and her voice is pretty thin (not like I'm one to talk since I'm pretty sure my singing voice is similar) but she is the prettiest of the Mrs. Lovetts. So. Meh.

I absolutely adore Jamie Campbell Bower as Anthony and I'm kind of fangirling him now. His version of Johanna is one of the best and he was so sweet and gah.

Jayne Wisener is so cute and petite and I really like her version  of "Green Finch". She is a very good casting decision. I wish she and Jamie had larger roles.

Alan Rickman must have strained his voice, it was so low. And he actually used the Snape Swoop on Anthony. And..."YOU GANDERED AT MY WARD. YOU FRIGGIN GANDERED, BITCH. Wormtail, beat him up plzkthx."

And Womtail...no wait...Mr Poe....no.....Timothy Spall! Mr. Spall was very snarky and sycophantic as the Beadle and he grossed me out. I guess he did his job but damn.

And the kid as Toby...well, I'm still a staunch believer in the late teen, mentally slow Toby with a limp. The kid did well and him curled up in drunken swinish sleep was the cutest thing ever. When Mrs. Lovett attempted to pull the bottle away I expected him to be like MAHNE.

I actually squeed when Sacha Baron Cohen came out of the tent as Pirelli. I absolutely loved him and he pulled the whole thing off nicely. He was both sinister and flamboyant and the high note was AWESOME.

To recap: the people by themselves are pretty bad. The movie altogether was good. I think I'll post a full recap of it just as soon as I'm done tripping over how good the ending was.

 I love names. Right now, my favorite name is Helen, which incidentally is my mother's middle name in its English form.

I would definitely have an external hard drive so I can download everything for future viewing. I wouldn't be looking for anything specific; I'm just a curious (or you could call it nosy) person and I love gathering information. :-)

*Feels inadequate. But then again, only sixteen.*

I had a really weird dream last night. I was at my house, but it was filled with all these cartoon characters and we had to go to Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory to find some items to free...God? I don't know. Mickey Mouse, Jiminey Cricket, Bugs Bunny and I all went to Heaven to find a four-leaf clover, a ying-yang symbol, and a Golden Snitch. We were driving around in a little red Cadillac trying to find everything in a space of about 10 minutes and we found everything except the Snitch. Just as the time was up, I found it.

Then we went back to my house and everyone was waiting for us outside - on the roof, in the windows, everywhere, along with the items. They were cheering my name and then I woke up.

Other than that, I'm having writer's block, which is not the best thing to have on LiveJournal.

(10:30)SPRING BREAK WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

On Friday the 13, on my rare true-alone day, I was preparing to eat a leftover Meatball Sub from Subway. I warmed it up, left it on a side table next to the couch, and went to take a shower. Approx. 30 minutes later, it was gone. Completely gone. No trace of crumbs or meat or anything - gone.

After looking everywhere for it, I supposed the dogs had gotten to it. But still - that's unusual. No crumbs or anything? They didn't even drink the coffee that was right beside it! So I had macaroni and cheese for lunch.

Then, later that day, I remembered that as it was Friday and I am Catholic, I'm not supposed to eat meat.

Ah well. Chalk this up to "Unexplainables."

Also-also, my dad HAS HAIR. He's been prancing around the house singing it all morning. He even woke me up with it at EIGHT O'CLOCK. Now he's asked to read two of the classic books I own (Divine Comedy and Homer's Odyssey) because, and I quote, He has hair.

(11:20) HOLY HELL IT'S RAINING HAIL THE SIZE OF MARBLES AND IT'S EVERYWHERE.

Dad: Real fine time to leave the van outside, Maria!
Mom: Shouldn't we close the garage door?
Me: *eyeroll*

I've been looking up tattoo designs (tattoo designs? how the hell did I get to looking up tattoo designs? But whatever.)

And...I'm kind of interested in getting a tattoo.

My parents are going to be pissed. But I wouldn't do it until I'm 18 and I'm totally ready for it.

So...yeah. LiveJournal = Pretty boring.

Huge, massive weight on my shoulders. I'm so tired. I'm tired all the time and I just wanna sleep. Sleep till my eyes are permanently shut.

Ugggghhhhhh.

This week, the week of January 20th, my sophomore class and I went on a tour of colleges all throughout Texas. It was excellent! I particularly loved Southwestern U and St. Edward's U.

We stayed in a different hotel every night. I shared the room with Becca and Alex. Normally, I'm a night owl, but since we usually had to wake up around 5:00 every morning I'd thought I'd really need to get my sleep. However, in the morning I would be as tired, if not more tired, if I had stayed up until 3 A.M.!

Naturally, I wrote this off as classic insomnia. However, living with friends for a week tends to bring stuff out in you.

The real reason I wasn't fully rested and energized?

I sleepwalk. Apparently, I also sleep talk.

When asked if she had ever seen me sleepwalk:
MY MOTHER: Oh yeah, a couple times. A long time ago.
ME: O_O

What?! What?!

ARE YOU SHITTING ME???? AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO SEES HOW FUCKING SERIOUS THIS IS???

Hell, I could have sexsomnia for all I know!

I need to detox from this level of OMGWTF-ness. I'm going to take a nap.

Out, damn spot!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I haven't updated in a week. I felt like I should.

Not that anyone cares.

Aaaand I'm regulated to chorus. But that's to be expected, since I was nervous during my audition and this is my second production with the company. Better luck next time?



Oh and btw. . .

bah, who the fuck am I kidding. No one's reading my shit except for those hackers and the people at school who watch everything I do on this computer (hi! I am TOTALLY doing my project, Ms. History Teacher!).

o dear God, remember my first entry when I mentioned trying out for My Fair Lady? Well, the cast list goes up today and should be up by now!

*checks*

gahhhh why is it not up?

HOLY CRAP IT'S SNOWING.

LIKE, SNOW.

IN HOUSTON.

HOLY CRAP.
