IS THIS CRAYON? IN MY CLASSROOM?!?!?!? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!

Today has been a good day. I didn't have a quiz in literature and my theatre class was really neat today. Our awesome teacher showed us some youtube videos on children's television and what actors shouldn't do when acting infront of children. Saying "HEY THERE KIDS!" in an overly happy and fake voice will terrify them or make them think you are phony. My teacher actually gave this example in such a hilarious way that I was laughing for a straight 10 minutes. Then he showed us this video of the famous Mr.Rogers:



Am I seriously the only one who laughed watching this? I know it's terrible of me and I had no idea why I found this so funny and I'm a terrible person for doing so,  but when I saw this in class I was literally rofl and I swear half of my classmates thought I was on crack. My reaction went something like this during the video;
"He left so fast." *creepily stares into camera* as soon as we started talking about divorce." - I looked over at some other kid in class who's giving Mr. Roger's a dude WTH  look and I start laughing.
"I know a little girl and a little boy..." Laughs uncontrollably. I know this episode was made in the 50's but that doesn't make the way he says it any less funny.
"Are all GROWN UP things" - Dies laughing.

I'm not trying to bad mouth Mr. Roger's he was a cool guy and when I was younger my mom said I used to fall asleep watching him. I'm not dissing people who get divorces or children of divorcee's either. I just am not understanding why this was so funny to me today and I don't like things I don't understand.

As always art class today was productive as usual. At the beginning of class there is always a sign in sheet for us to write our names down on. Today I wrote my name in crayon with the color of  Razzmatazz. Now I did this for a few reasons.
1. I like color
2. I always sign my name in color whenever I have crayons or a colorful coloring tool with me
3. It's an art class. I thought art=color and color=good.

Well not in this classroom environment! Now I shared this lovely colored crayon with some of my other classmates and one guy even thought it was 'sweet' that someone brought in a crayon, because you know, crayons are pretty cool.  

My teacher did not find crayons or color sweet at all.

So I go to sit down at my table and she grabs the sign in sheet and starts flipping out.

"WHY IS MY SIGN IN SHEET ALL IN CRAYON?!?!? WHOEVER THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT IDEA TO USE CRAYON ON MY SIGN IN SHEET HERE'S A NEWSFLASH! CRAYON IS NOT A VALUABLE ART TOOL AND WILL NEVER MAKE YOU AN ARTIST! WHOEVER BROUGHT IN CRAYON RAISE YOUR HAND NOW!"

Alls I can say is thank God nobody knew I was the bringer of the colored crayon or if they did thank God they didn't tell her. I really didn't think it would be that big of a deal, I mean it's a crayon, not a bomb. And it was in a seeable color, it was not laser light yellow! And from what I can tell I thought everyone wrote their names really neat.

She then starts screaming for another five minutes about how crayons are inappropriate artistic tools for the future artists of the world. Because everyone in that class strives to be a future artist. *sarcasm*

"I DON'T LIKE CRAYON! CRAYONS ARE WASHABLE AND UNREALISTIC IN ART! YOU KIDS ARE IN COLLEGE, YOU NEED TO ACT LIKE YOU ARE ADULTS RATHER THAN CHILDREN. CHILDREN USE CRAYONS, ADULTS SHOULD NOT! NOBODY HERE CAN NAME ME ANY PIECE OF ARTWORK USED OR DISPLAYED IN CRAYON BECAUSE CRAYONS ARE NOT A GREAT FORMAT FOR ARTISTIC PIECES! NOW, FROM WHAT I CAN TELL ON THIS LIST >my name< WAS THE FIRST TO USE A DESPICABLE CRAYON WHICH ONLY MEANS THAT HE OR SHE MUST HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO BRING IT IN! BE WARNED NOW LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,  IF I SO MUCH AS SEE A CRAYON IN MY CLASSROOM I WILL KICK YOU OUT FOR THE REST OF THE DAY! THERE ARE TO BE NO CRAYONS IN MY CLASSROOM!"

Lol. Stupid lady. I happen to really enjoy crayons! I shall now make it my mission in life to bring in a different colored crayon daily just to see her reaction! I always show up a few minutes early  (pretty much before any of the other kids) so I am going to set a crayon down near the sign up sheet every day and see if people actually write with it just to make her mad. If they don't then there is always colored pencils and marker and she said nothing about not using those. In fact I think I will bring in all three coloring utensils just to really agitate the crazy art teacher.

I Shall Drink Tea and Be Ensemble Like

I got a part in the ensemble for my college's musical!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was going to go walk uptown for an appointment to have my eyebrows waxed and I just stepped out the door when the phone rang with an unlisted number. I was going to be super mad if it was a solicitor because I only had about five minutes until my appointment (which included walking on icy roads in which I could trip on and get brain damage) but surprisingly it was the director.

He started talking to me all serious like with a somewhat happy undertone which made me think "oh no, I didn't get a part, FML" but after I thought that for about two seconds he told me that my audition was fantastic and that I had a part in the ensemble!

Rehearsals start tomorrow and I am beyond excited to even have a part! However I will be checking out those cast lists just to be sure...

First Day Back LALALALALALALA!

Today was my first day back to college officially making it the spring 2012 semester! One more semester to go and I will be out of here!



FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, this morning when I arrived at the college I saw four of my lovely friends which automatically made my day a bit more brighter and then I had to go to my literature class which I think has a strong potential to teach me something. The teacher seems really cool so far and I think will be great for the rest of the semester- the students not so much. Some girl who has the same exact name as me sat DIRECTLY behind me after arriving ten minutes late to class with her  boyfriend so I'm a bit scared now that said awesome teacher is going to have a problem remembering who is who but she hasn't messed up so far.


After everyone arrived in class we basically just said our name and had to get into groups to answer two questions. EASY questions. My group was full of potential victims for a pen-in-eye attack. We had to answer a question on the board which stated "What makes libraries different than supermarkets when it comes to the selling of books?" or something to that effect and the girl with my name stated that "The difference between the two is that supermarkets sell cool books such as Vampire Academy which teens can relate to. Libraries only have boring educational books and you have to wait for-ever for them to get a new shipment in! It took me five times until I gave up and just bought Twilight!"


Umm no little missy. You just need to shut up and sit down or I may have to relocate your bones in a very harsh fashion. How can teens exactly relate to Vampire Academy? Sorry to tell you this but most teens I know are not, and will never be, vampires.


Sadly two other GUYS in the group agreed with her!
Guy #1- Haha! You're right, the library is pretty dope! (ah yes, the dopeish library! A place where stoners get their fix while reading! *headdesk slam!*)
Guy #2- Like you I thought Twilight was really a great series >insert totally noticable flirtacious wink here< Libraries are cool but I only use them for the internet. What do you think? (indicating me)
In my mind: Oh you do not even want to know what I'm thinking... 
What I really said: "To me it seems that the library has more variations of books whereas a place like Walmart only seems to sell what's popularized in the market right now just so they can make a profit."


I was given blank stares and after five minutes it seemed that they agreed with me though I couldn't really tell because they were all too busy talking about b-ball or something stupid like that which I totally tuned out because I like my sanity.


After that lovely group discussion we had to read a poem in class, which was pretty simple to interpret and before we left she asked us what our favorite piece of literature is. This is where I almost died. Half of the responses were "I'm not much of a reader" or "I don't like writing" yes, because if you hate reading and writing a nonrequired literature class is the right choice for you!


And if that response is not bad enough every single girl in the room, I kid you not, said something about how "I's loves Twilight" or "Nicholas Sparks for the win!" Someone needed to just get an arrow and shoot my brain out along with my knee.
The guys responses consisted of "How reading sucks," "My favorite novel is SPORTS ILLUSTRATED,"(I wish I was joking too) and my favorite, from some obvious smartass freshmen; "Dr.Seuss." What is wrong with you illiterate jackasses that call yourselves people? Read a book! IT'S NOT THAT HARD!!! I would kindly donate you an 80 page book if I wasn't concerned that you would have a bonfire with it.


Then to make matters worse the teacher tells us that one of her favorite novels is Jane Eyre. Somehow my classmates faces seemed to be clueless as to "what a Jane Eyre is." She asked us if anyone had ever heard of Jane Eyre- my hand along with another lying SOB's went up. How do I know she's a lying SOB? Because I tried to have a conversation with her. She thinks the book is about blueberry picking in Trafalgar Square. Oh how I am going to love this class.




I then had theatre class and let me just say right now that a lot of theatre majors are not kind. One girl kept bragging about how she was the lead in the colleges play last semester and that she has acting experience so she knows about breaking the fourth wall because she is clearly an expert with everything related to theatre. I was thinking about giving her a dollar just so she would shut up but then I wouldn't be able to buy water which is needed for me to live and not sound like death.


I've had this teacher for a few theatre classes before and he's pretty cool. He asked us what types of theatres there are and because I took a technical theatre class last semester so I knew the answer and said "Procenium." I learned that saying any answer was frowned upon greatly by the other scholars in said classroom environment. The only kid who was in my technical theatre class that I wasn't a big fan of and was 'placed' in this class decided it would be a jolly good time to scream at me;
WAIT UNTIL HE DRAWS THE THEAAATRES ON THE BOARD!!! (pronunciation of stupid kid: thee-aye-teeeers)
Alright kid you need to calm down. I did not realize you were so passionate about chalkboard drawings of theatres, I apologize for killing the moment.


Overall the class was alright but Thursday we have to bring in a theatre game. I despise theatre games and I despise giving instructions for games that I despise outloud in a hostel environment.


Now we get to the funnest class of the day; ART!
I love painting and coloring and drawing and crayons and everything related to artisticalness and this class really let me show my creative side by being dictorial! The teacher is an absolute nightmare and scared me like there's no tomorrow. I will admit to being easily frightened but this lady was a demon from hell.

I walked into the class right on time because I was like a stupid freshmen and didn't know where the room was until a kind lady told me that it was held in the auditorium. Art class in the auditorium, I'm not sure how that's going to work out but ok...

So I walk in and this lady was standing infront of the class,arms folded, frowning, with a big overhead projector behind her displaying a depressing powerpoint with a gray background and big black letters stating ART DOES NOT IS=EASY! Now I can ignore the horrid two verbs next to each other but when you are a teacher with a PHD or whatever, not being able to from a complete proper sentance concerns me.

This nutcase began class by YELLING at us, saying that she isn't here to be our friend, doesn't wish to know our names, and if we have a problem with nudity then we need to get the hell out of her room! Now if that isn't bad enough, she started yelling at us "stupid teens" about cell phone policy and how if she sees our cell phone you will not be allowed to return to her class. Ever. I can understand most teachers cell phone policies because I agree that texting in class doesn't make you learn but to kick someone out of class for life is a bit strange and over the top. Mark someone down a point for the day is understandable but kicking someone out of class will not make the people paying for tuition happy, especially if the phone call was a family emergency or something related.

She also stated that she could care less about our personal life and if we have a question we can't ask it in class, we have to email the question to her because she doesn't have time for 'obvious questions' that can be answered by looking at the book. Speaking of the book, I learned that bringing it to class will not get your head chopped off! Some kids forgot their book and this is how all that went down;
Her: Who doesn't have a book today?
-half of the class raises their hand-
Her: Well those who raised your hands keep them up. You are all stupid. And do you want to know why you are all stupid? Because you did a stupid thing! Text books are needed for MY class, you are all so intelligent by not bringing one today! And to those who have yet to buy one, I can guarantee that you will fail my class. I know text books don't come cheap but that is why financial aid helps you jobless wonders pay for them!

Personally I'm not eligable for financial aid but I found that to be a bit insulting and possibly an inaccurate statement.


Later on after she was done ranting about how she hates her job or something like that, she told us to introduce ourselves TODAY ONLY for attendance purposes and basically all of the people were like "Hi my name is Joe and I'm majoring in business" or something to that effect and when it was my turn this is how it went down
Me: "Hi my name is ____ and I'm majoring in performing--"
Her: I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR MAJOR IS!!!!!!!

Oh, alright then. I just thought stating your major was the normal thing to do because half of the class before me did it! I think it will take all of my energy just to not lose it in this class everyday. I am not fond of teachers flexing their meager power over the students like it's the only pleasure they get in their sad lives.

She then tells us at the end of class to write down some background information about ourselves which I can only guess my college is forcing her to ask us to do this. Or based on her previous behavior I could only assume that she wants this information to use against us! I only put the name of the high school I graduated from and now I am starting to think even that was too much.

This shall be an interesting semester.

Golden Globes

So I am a person who watches these type of award shows every single year and get disappointed every single year because the people I don't vote for always seem to win. However it seems that my luck has somewhat changed this year after The People's Choice Awards considering during that award show the two things that I wanted to see win for the categories of Favorite Movie (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows pt.2) and Favorite New TV Drama (Person of Interest) won. For me that was a new record, I think I probably voted 20 or so times just so things that I didn't like didn't win- because everyone knows 20 votes goes a long way!!! =P

Now take into account the Golden Globes, personally I despised it last year and thought Ricky Gervais was incredibly mean and unfunny. Luckily he toned it down this year, making his jokes a bit less mean spirited and he was barely shown throughout the rest of the night which I enjoyed.
Incase you haven't seen the winners yet because you are living under a rock, here they are (thank you http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31749_162-57359547-10391698/golden-globes-2012-list-of-winners/)

PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED

• Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award: Morgan Freeman.

I was happy about most of these wins. I absolutely adore Downton Abbey and cannot wait until the rumored third season. However I wish more of the cast was there to accept the award. I just saw on a news program that Elizabeth McGovern tripped on stage but I'm going to assume that she was ok considering I didn't even notice her falling until it was brought to my attention.

 I am also really happy about Meryl Streep winning for best actress in a drama because she is an inspiration of mine and she acted like she was so surprised about recieveing the award. I keep seeing stupid people on the internet saying that she's an "ungracious and unclassy bitch" because she didn't thank Margaret Thatcher. Not once in my life have I ever seen Meryl Streep act bitchy to someone unless she is portraying a character. And not once have I ever seen her be ungracious. Then again these are the people who relate The Golden Globes to politics. But either way, how about we never diss Meryl Streep ever again unless we want to lose all of our teeth. She is atleast capable of putting on a flawless fake British accent! (take note Madonna.)

As for the other awards I really liked, Morgan Freeman is a given considering everything he is in is automatically going to be fantastic. Sidney Portier and Helen Mirren gave him the award which he was uber thankful for and gave a fantastic speech. Helen Mirren stated beforehand that she had a few glasses and wants to be in another movie with Morgan. Apparently "There's no reason Miss Daisy couldn't have been English." I swear if Helen Mirren and Meryl Streep were in a movie together it would be a hit.

Peter Dinklage won for A Game of Thrones which I must say is a great series based on the novels by George R.R. Martin which are great as well. His acceptance speech was unrehearsed but he get's points for mentioning Martin Henderson who was paralyzed by a dwarf tossing. =(

Kate Winslet was another one of my favorite wins despite the fact that I was rooting for both her and Elizabeth McGovern. I was a bit upset when Jessica Lange beat out Maggie Smith for American Horror Story but just because the show looks good I'm going to let it go this time. Kelsey Grammar was also very gracious during his acceptance speech and I've been a fan of his since Frasier.

The Artist won three awards and I now feel strongly obligated to go to the movie theater and see a silent film in 2012. The rest of the awards I could really care less about.

Now for the fashion at the Golden Globes, Nicole Kidman hands down get's best dressed for me, wearing Versace.

 

People keep saying Evan Rachel Wood is one of the worst dressed but at the before the awards she told everyone she loved her gown by Gucci and because of that confidence I love it too.

Emma Stone seemed to love her Lanvin dress as well. If you love your dress and don't care what people say about it, you get props.

Elle Macpherson's gown was terrible in every way and when she was presenting it looked like she was having trouble walking in it.

However to me, Lea Michele had to be the worst dressed of the night.

That's pretty much it. Hopefully next year's Golden Globes will be just as good, if not better. 

Les Miserables 2012 Movie

"Look down, look down. Don't look 'em in the eye. Look down, look down, You're here until you die."

This is not a good week. My computer somehow got a virus on it which I was able to fix (and felt like a techie genius when doing so) and for three or so days I wasn't able to get onto the internet or type or print or do anything. But alas, I do love the computer but I'm not completely reliant on it so I read a 300 and something page book and got my hair trimmed!

However I couldn't sleep one night so I go on the computer and try to fix this Trojan virus thingy by installing Spyware doctor because I was fortunate enough to have google on my phone (for a dollar or so a minute) and a  website's instructions helped me online to install this anti-spyware. Now my computer is running good, so let's just keep our fingers crossed on that one!

But sadly the first thing I saw when I got the internet back up and running was some news article on my homepage stating "Taylor Swift get's role of a lifetime!"
Me: I thought she was a singer...
Being a curious cat I opened this link and it flat out SCREAMS in my face that she has been offered, I repeat OFFERED
OFFERED
OFFERED
the role as Eponine in the Les Miserables movie. What the absolute hell. She is a  pop country singer/songwriter and probably an overall nice person but she really cannot sing. WHO tell me WHO thought this was a brilliant idea? I can picture some imbecile saying something like "Oooh let's capture the more younger and general audience by giving her a lead, that's a brilliant pschycadelic idea man! Hahaha money!" But it really does seem like a crass move to me. Next thing you know Gavroche will be given to Justin Bieber...

The singing in the movie is apparently not going to be recorded but sung live. Have they not heard her when she tries to hit the high notes live? Her voice craaaacckks. Not related to the musical but I feel Why won't that she represents everything that is false and manufactured in music today. Plus, all of her song's sound like the soundtrack to TWILIGHT. The thing that get's me is why was she even in consideration when up against Evan Rachel Wood and Lea Michelle, and a lot of other GOOD singers and actors? I didn't want Michelle as Eponine either but atleast she has range and depth.

And to quote someone on imdb;

"Swift did not have to do the same audition process as the others. She was not capable. The others all sang the entire libretto for the role they were singing for. Hooper was quite blown away by Jackman, Hathaway, Wood, Redmayne etc. but not by Swift. However, he loves her look and has her working with coaches. He also, for the record, was never seriously considering Michelle. The award winning singer was the weakest singer of them all."
^God help us if any of that is true.

This is Swift singing a showtune:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2jYomEJOSoo
Why did she get chosen over someone with the ability to actually sing a Broadway song? This is supposed to be Eponine? I think not.

As for the character in general, Eponine is not blonde! I repeat, Eponine is not an effing blonde! Why don't we just cast Charo as Eponine and call it a freaking day?!?!? RAGE. Hugo even says on his book on page 241 describing both Eponine and Azelma when they are first introduced;
"They were two pretty little girls, rather city girls than peasants, very charming, one with her well-polished auburn tresses, the other with her long black braids falling down her back and both so lively,neat,plump,fresh, and healthy, that it was a pleasure to see them." - Not sure which is which but the word blonde to describe hair color is not in that paragraph!

I understand that a wig can be used for this problem if Tom Hooper wants to go that way, but it just seems wrong to me. Eponine is not Barbie. I hate people who base their casting decisions on looks alone (I have played a little girl way too many times to count) so I could get over the non-dirty street urchin look if I had solid proof that Taylor could act while being able to carry a tune.

What makes matters worse is that half of these news articles you read keep saying that Eponine is the priveledged child of the Thenardier's. Yeah, AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DAMN BOOK. When she first appears in the musical after Cosette's "Castle on a Cloud" solo she is shown to be ragged, wearing a beret, and appears that life has not treated her well considering she is now a part of her father's gang. It takes skill to be this character, something I don't think Swift has enough of when it comes to acting as of yet. That's what worries me the most, not the looks, not even the singing, but the ACTING. She was not good in Valentine's Day and she has no theater experience that we are aware of. How is this a good casting choice?


Then to make matters even more disturbing Amanda Seyfried has been offered the role of Cosette. NOO. I have stated again and again and again and even said on my facebook "I do not want to see anyone named Fraser, Farrell, Schwarzenegger, Hasselhoff, Cruise, Holmes,Aniston, Seyfried, Hilton, or Efron being withing 20,000,000 feet of this film!!!" So what do they do? Offer a big role to the girl who was on my list on no's. However she has more potential to play Cosette than Swift would. Seyfried was pretty good in Mama Mia (even though I really didn't like that movie) but it proves that she can sing so she has a possability of doing ok if she accepts the role which I'm still a little iffy on. I'm honestly still wanting Jayne Wisener in this role.


Then there's Russell Crowe who's officially playing one of my favorite characters in history; Inspector Javert. First and foremost I'm not a huge fan of Crowe's but could definetley see him in this role unless he keeps pronouncing his characters name wrong for it is not JAY-VEEEERT!

Hugh Jackman is officially playing the lead of Jean Valjean and although I am familiar with his work and am tired of hearing his name thrown around for every movie, he will be great in this.

Anne Hathaway as Fantine- I love Hathaway I really do but I can in no way,shape,or form see her as Fantine. Plus I am still a little mad that she was offered the role based on her Oscar performance of On My Own which I thought was more "entertain the people" rather than good.

Aaron Tveit as Enjolras- This guy is fantastic and is a broadway veteran. He played Leo's character Frank for Catch Me If You Can on Broadway and was phenomenal at The Tony's.

Eddie Redmayne as Marius- I all around hate Marius's character but this guy is great. I think he's a fabulous actor and will do the role justice.

Sasha Baron Cohen as Monsier Thenardier- At first I heard the role was going to Geoffrey Rush which I was happy about but I'm just as happy to hear that Cohen has the role, he will do well.

Last but not least
Helena Bonham Carter as Madame Thenardier- YES! She is amazing in everything so there is no doubt in my mind that she will do spectacular like always.
As for Swift and Seyfried, if they do accept the offer good luck to them. However I want everyone to keep in mind that just because an old mysterious lady offers you an apple that doesn't obligate you to take it.

Annoyances!!!

For future reference here are peoples alias names for future blogging:
*Mandy- Dad's bipolar girlfriend who hates me
*Darla- Stupid daughter of said girlfriend

You want to know a way to make an insomniac wish to bash a frying pan over your face? Mess with her already disorderly sleep schedule.

I was at my dads house pretty much dying of thirst and because my dad and his girlfriend already went to bed I asked *Darla if I could have a bottle of water. She tells me that I could have some fizzy water with bubbles and I kindly said that it would be fine. I'm really not too picky when it comes to water and it's many variations.

About an hour or so later it's 9:00 and I'm finished drinking this fizzy water that I thought tasted like a type of medication of some sort and Darla starts laughing her head off which I could have only assumed as some type of relative dysfunctioning with her brain, which happens on a regular basis with her. So being the kind hearted soul I am I ask her what she finds so amusing and THIS is what she told me;

"HAHAHA! That wasn't water! That was a sugar free Rockstar! Isn't that funny?!?!?"

Oooooh no. I do not find this to be a knee slapper! You must get your head chopped off guillotine style now. I am truly grateful that you didn't give me tequila of some sort but being awake at 3 in the morning unvoluntarily is not my idea of hilarious times!

Maybe I should blame myself for only ever trying the pink and orange Rockstars but I find it quite unsettling that someone my age, or any age really, would do this to someone and find it to be laugh out loud worthy. Plus who in their right mind puts energy drinks in water bottles?!?!? I swear if I am not asleep by four I am filling up a bucket of cold water with ice and pouring it over her head! For the record, yes I do believe that I do not need to stoop down to her level because I'm a better person and blah blah blah. However, when one get's only two or so hours of sleep the night before and none the next day she tends to get pretty agitated!

Happy 2012 Everyone!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!


 I hope everyone is having a wonderful year so far and is having fun and that your resolutions and goals will be fullfilled! 2011 went by so fast I still can't believe it! I basically just read a book, and watched television which was showing the 20 greatest New Years performances by old school bands which I loved. They showed the Spice Girls 1997 performance and that was a complete flashback. The Spice Girls were my favorite in the 90's.


And if you were a 90's kid they were likely one of your favorite bands too so being judgemental will get you nowhere! =P

^ I'm not sure if they were lip singing or not... lol.


After all of that I turned into MTV which was the biggest mistake of the night along with the most amusing. Demi Lovato was interviewing some kid named Mac Miller who is famous for his song "Donald Trump" in which I never heard before until that day. The interview lasted about 3 minutes and this kid was all like "yeah Im so 'haps' that I'm here." Haps... riiiight.

I felt sorry for Demi Lovato throughout all of this. She then turns to him and asks,
"Do you think Donald Trump likes your song?"
His response: "Yeah Im guessing he does I ain't sued yet!!!!" Yes, yet being the key word here. For if I was a billionaire like Donald Trump and sadly came across this punk kid I would get the best lawyers in the state of New York and make sure he never even speaks the last name of Trump ever again.


Punk kid then proceeds to tell us about how he is so 'dope' and that he decided to take his homies to see him perform live this year! And people kept saying that he was the next Eminem which is an astonishingly untrue comment. Nobody can be the next person, they can have similiar styles in the way of doing things but they will always be a different person. Personally, if I have to choose between the two I find Eminem better in personality and music and I am not a big fan of most rap. I have no animosity towards the 'dope' kid what so ever but I hate the fact that he is recieving undeserved praise and is screwing up the english language.


I found his performance repetative and couldn't understand a word he was spitting out so I flipped the channel in time to see Ryan Seacrest talking about how fabulous New Years is in Time Square along with another whore of a host trying to flirt with the crowd which was incredibly uncomfortable for all parties watching.


 Lady Gaga also performed which I must say was amazing. I actually do not have a problem with Gaga, I find her unique and I respect everything she does even if it is really out there. You could tell that she was honoured to even be there and appreciated having the chance to perform in her state. It seemed to me that the people in Time Square loved her and with good reason considering her performance was flawless.


When New Year's hit Dick Clark counted down as always only this year he was a bit slower than the clock. I believe in 2010 he messed up the countdown so compared to that he did well. Then a whole bunch of dancey-dance music came on and I was super dancey and didn't even get bored until I crashed at 4am and my mom had to wake me up and scream at me to GO TO BED because THE FLOOR IS NOT MY BEDROOM!


As for my movie/book goals this year I failed yet again. One year I will reach 25, ONE YEAR! Books suffered the most this year as I've been reading terrible fanfiction, tutorials, youtube comments, and other things instead.
Here we go:


Movies:

Inception- Horrible

Secretariat - Good

Red Eye - Ending sucked

Elvis and Anabelle - Great

Eclipse- I was forced to watch this.

Beyond the Blackboard- Great

Lemonade Mouth- It was on Disney Channel and I was bored

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides- Great

The Shawshank Redemption - Fantastic

Scream - Great

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt.2- By far the best movie of the year.

Cyberbully- Again, I watched because I was bored. The moral was good but the script was unrealistic.

Magic Beyond Words: The JK Rowling Story- LOVED

The Last Song- It was surprisingly good and I dislike Nicholas Sparks with a passion.

Julie & Julia - Meryl Streep is phenomenal

Final Destination 3 - I love all the Final Destination's

Final Destination 5- Best one since the original

Jacob's Ladder- SUCKED!

Lion King 3D - BEST MOVIE EVER.

The Others - I'm surprised I got through it without screaming in terror

Brazil- Alright movie which lost all meaning in the last hour

Pay It Forward - Great concept

Greta- I got bored while watching it

Overall: 23!!!!!! 2 more movies and I would have had it!!!!!!!



Books:

Tess of The D'Urbervilles-Thomas Hardy

Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters-Ben H. Winters

Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them- J.K. Rowling

Voice Over Voice Actor: What It's Like Behind The Mic- Tara Platt&Yuri Lowenthal

Esperanza Rising- Pam Munoz Ryan

Shanghai Girls- Lisa See

Peony in Love- Lisa See

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan Lisa See

Abandon- Meg Cabot

Dreams of Joy- Lisa See

A Game of Thrones

Nancy Drew: Secret of the old Clock

Nancy Drew: Hidden Staircase

Nancy Drew: Bungalow Mystery

Nancy Drew: Mystery at Lilac Inn

Nancy Drew: Secret at Shadow Ranch

Nancy Drew: Secret at Redgate Farm

Nancy Drew: Clue in the Diary

Les Miserables

The Little Mermaid

Overall: 20! Tess was finished January 2nd last year and I tried my best to finish Villette by Charlotte Bronte but wasn't able to accomplish doing so. I read Nancy Drew during college because they are easy and fun reads but I'm still upset I only got to 20 this year.




My resolution this year is simple: Get a license! No license= no life and no fun times!


Hope everyones 2012 will be as good, if not better than 2011.
