Swing your razor wide, Sweeney! Hold it to the skies! Freely flows the blood of those. Who moralize!

So lately I have been practicing my little heart out for a show that I will be auditioning for very very soon. It is one of the four shows I have always wanted to do- SWEENEY TODD! In case you do not know, I am probably the biggest fangirl of that musical.  I know the show word for word, I know all the songs even the ones that didn't make it into the film, have only seen the movie a billion times, and the recording of the stage production about a million (the one with Angela Lansbury- not Patti Lupone, that version I found to be not quite as good.) This is the one show I have always wanted to audition for and it is basically my theatre dream to be in it. I know I can pull off a certain character who goes by the name of Mrs. Nellie Lovett but I would be happy to just make the ensemble.

From what I can tell this theatre group on facebook seems to be so tight knit- so much so that it is like I barely stand a chance before I even audition considering they have been in the previous shows this theatre has put on before and Mr.Director knows their talent, so that means I have to probably work 100 times more than all of these people to even get a part. And working hard I have been-probably more so than I have for any other musical or play- practicing my accent, singing my song 100 times considering I do not consider myself to be a fabulous singer, and dancing randomly. Not to mention avoiding caffeine and dairy products like the plague and avoiding all songs that do not have to do with Sweeney, except for maybe 1 or 2 times listening to Within Temptation but I doubt listening to something else once or twice will kill me. I seriously want to be in this more than anything I have ever wanted in my life- 6 and a half years I have wanted to be in this. Another thing that I am worried about besides the 'theatre group,' I wasn't invited to audition for this despite the fact that 481 others were. However it says only 20 or so are actually attending and that means I only have to beat out 10 girls for the role I desperately want if all of them are going for Nellie. And I will do my best to do that and will be 110 times better than I can possibly be. Anyways that is all I have been up to; practice, practice, practice!

By the way after doing my research I have to say that my all time favorite Mrs.Lovett is Caroline O'Connor. Check her out, you won't regret it!

South

I just got back from Mississippi. Me and my mom just took a 'vacation' there to see one of her friends the 18th and got back yesterday at 9pm. And let me just say I have no future plans of moving southward. I really REALLY appreciate being a Yankee now that I had to go down there. 99% of the people were super sweet and nice but for six straight days I had to bottle up my thoughts and use lots of sarcasm to make sure I didn't strangle anyone.

Day by day events;
The Beginning;
We get to our hotel. BEST HOTEL EVER. It had a HUGE swimming pool and basically swimming is the only thing I had yet to do this summer which is a shame considering at my old house we had an outdoor pool and I used to go swimming all of the time. The thing about this pool was that the outdoor one was connected to the indoor one. There was a sign that said not to swim under or over this little window thing that connected the two pools but that was stupid so I broke the rules!!! The hotel also served little snackys if you showed them your room key and although the snacks were completely bought from the dollar store I didn't complain because they were free and it was just a nice thing for them to do for their guests.

Day 1:
Left the hotel and shuttled to  the Detroit airport and for once there wasn't a crazy person screaming at us at security to TAKE OFF OUR SHOES AND BELTS AND WATCHES and what not. However I did get asked three times how old I was by security even by the lady who was supposed to be checking my ID.

We then got on the plane where we were sitting across from a guy who lived in Pakistan half of his life and a man in the military, it was a picture to see let me tell you. Mr. Military guy was told to move and sit by the exit row but apparently this was his first time flying so he had to move again because the plane people did not trust him with our lives. =/

We finally arrived in Mississippi and we had to wait a freaking hour before my moms friend, her husband, and her grandson picked us up. Apparently they didn't know where we were (even after calling and telling them beforehand that we were at gate 6) and they parked about a mile downwards in the parking garage. I felt like being a nice person and gave the freaking grandson candy-my mistake. Most annoying kid ever. I despise kids with a passion but after this trip it made me hate them even more.
Seriously every 5 seconds this kid was like "Lookyut me! I knowz how to shoot a bow and arrow and ride a swing!" No kid, you aren't showing me anything fantastic, shut up and go play on the 111 freeway.
This kid had no discipline what so ever and it really pissed me off. I'm against child abuse because I was hit a lot as a kid but with this six year old I thought he just needed to get punched in the face.
Example;
Mom: Grandma said you can't go in the pool because you were getting a cold.
Him: I aint gonna listen to heeeeeeerr
Mom: You're going to get in trouble
Him: No I ain't (jumps in the pool-doesn't get in trouble)


Day 2-
Me,my mom, and my moms friend go shopping. Stupid kid says he was going to come with us. He wasn't even supposed to come back over until the day we left. Thank God he wasn't up in time or the only fun part about the trip would have been ruined. Kohls had a lot of cool shirts but everything was an xs and sadly that is not something I can even fit my breasts into. We also went to Old Navy which was fun considering all the Old Navy's near me closed down and I kind of missed their flip flops. Lol.

I also think this was the day where I started to find out about my love of Diet Dr. Pepper.

Later in the evening when we got home I find out stupid six year old kid ate my freaking pop rocks. There are certain rules I have when it comes to my personal items, don't touch them! But that is ok considering I bought some bubble gum pop rocks at Old Navy for 99 cents (first time I ever tried them, I didn't really read the wrapper which said that it turned into gum so that was a surprise)  I was going to give him the grape ones but now he gets nothing!

The kid then starts trying to tell me what to do and starts punching me for no damn reason what so ever. Grandma starts saying "Not to do that" but she sucks at being threatening. I swear I started getting mean at that point and I don't even care. I was about ready to drown the stupid little mofo in the swimming pool.

Day 3-
Me and my mom get our hair done by my moms friend. I swear she cut my hair crooked.
We sat out by a little bonfire and chatted and laughed and what not. My mom's friends husband is hilarious. I got eaten by a billion mosquitoes and as of right now I am still trying to stop itching.

Day 4- We (myself, my mom, her friend, and her husband) went to the beach. I dislike beaches immensely but this one was a lot better than a lot I have ever been to and you could see the bottom which was neat even if blue gills were swimming in the water near us. I plastered myself with SPF 100 sunscreen about 5 times and I still managed to get burnt and a little tan. I think I am the only girl in the world who dislikes looking tan, tan skin just doesn't suit me very well. Neither does red lobster skin either but I doubt that color suits a lot of people.
After that we went back to the friends house or what was our "home" for a few days and and I took a nap. It was quite eventful!

Day 5-
Not much really went on that day, we went to Sonic and I got a Butterfinger blast which was the most delicious thing in the world. I also got a hamburger which was also spectacularly good. There are basically no Sonic's in Michigan so it's always nice to go there whenever a place has one. We also stopped at a beautiful antique store and a Piggly Wiggly which is basically like a grocery store in the south. We the had to go to my moms friend's friend's furniture store who we met only a few days ago and print off our boarding passes to go home the next day.

Stupid kid came over and almost hit me with a bloody baseball bat and started crying because he doesn't know what a foul ball is.

My mom's friend's step father came over later that day and made the best ribs I have ever had in my entire life. Among the people at the house was my moms friend's friend who is super awesome and who we printed the boarding passes from along with the bastard child.

Now this is where I finally lost it. My moms friend has a son (awesomest person in the entire world, he's kind of like a brother to me) who was working later that night and who has a dog that was staying at their house for the week until he moved back in. Cutest little dog ever but it was very small. Stupid kid puts it in a basket and starts shaking it. Puppy starts crying. I tell him to let the dog go. He sits on the basket and through the little hole you can see the puppy basically crying. He opens the basket and puts a sheet over the dog's head and says "I'm going to suffocate it!" I go tell my moms friend what a little inconvenience he's being and she says "As long as the dog isn't whining she's good!" No, the dog has been whining for a few minutes but you have been talking and I do not enjoy this. The stupid kid then has to go do his homework and leaves the dog for a second before I hold onto her. Stupid kid then comes back and starts hitting me trying to get her out of my arms and put her in the basket again. I took the dog and locked her and me in the room I had and he starts crying to grandma about how I hit him. As much as I dislike you kid I never laid a hand on you. Thank God my moms friend (or 'grandma') didn't believe him.

 I don't like it when people hurt animals, it just get's me sad and irritated. The dog did not seem to approve of it either because she scratched the kids eye later that evening.

Day 6-
We had to get up and drive to the airport. My moms friend's mom drove us and she is probably the coolest person ever. She tells it the way it is and I respect her lots for that. However I did find out that my mom has been hiding a secret from me about a past marriage thanks to the mom. Respect has now been lost for my mother.

At the airport we said our goodbyes and for the first time ever we checked our bags outside which was pretty cool. The guy with the crazy name didn't lose our luggage or anything even if the TSA did choose to search our suitcase for a procedure or whatever.

The security at this airport was very chill compared to Detroit but the line took forever to get through. The security I think tried to look insanely tough and serious but it was more laughable than anything because I could probably outrun 80% of them.
At the airport they had little shops where I bought my water and a restaurant where me and my mom ate before our flight. The airport also had a bookstore that was selling classics incredibly cheap and where I was finally able to pick up a copy of "A Tale of Two Cities" for $4.00.

When we got to our section before we were able to board a girl with a computer started screaming at some video game. I told my mom that this was the girl who would be sitting next to us. I was correct! Her,her brother, and her mom sat diagonally a row in front of us! The girl screaming at the video game, come to find out, was more than likely autistic. As soon as the plane left the ground she started freaking out and 15 minutes before it landed she started freaking out again. It kind of made the entire plane uncomfortable and made me feel unsafe.

When the plane landed in Detroit my grandmother and her boyfriend were supposed to pick us up but instead of staying with the car my grandmother had to flaunt herself. Guess who got a shiny yellow ticket for not reading the NO PARKING signs?


 I am glad to be back even if I am extremely tired, my face has a zillion zits on it, my hair is uneven, and my legs itch like crazy.

List of things I now despise;
- Stupid kids even more than before
- Stupid terms the stupid kid said like "frog youuuu" (aka punched me in the freaking head) and 'meep beep.'
- People getting in my personal space. If you can touch my elbow you are too close.
- Being 'proud' of everything which is a word now used in replacement of happy
- Van Halen and Vince Gill. Vince Gill mostly. God I hate Vince Gill.

Facebook And Why It Sucks

Blogging will always be better than facebook. End of story. Granted they aren't even the same but on here it's like a lot of people seem to pour their hearts out into the posts they have rather than quote something stupid from Eminem or whoever. And the new timeline, what is all that about? They FORCED me into the timeline, not cool what so ever!

Now don't get me wrong, I do think facebook is a great way to stay in touch with people and I am really glad that I can still keep in touch with some of my friends from college and Chicago and theatre and drama and youth group and wherever else along with a few from high school but the thing that irritates me a little about a couple of these 'friends' (mostly from high school) I have is that they obviously do not think of me as a friend, rather I am a number. I do not need 'friends' like that.

I guess what got me on this tangent is that one girl who I have known FOREVER and have been friends with for at least 6 years posted this on her wall:

Add my other page. Only taking real friends this time.

So I added her and she accepted. Ten minutes later she deleted me. Um what? Ok so that means that I am a terrible friend. That's a great self confidence booster right there!And deleting people? WHO DOES THAT? Basically to me it says that they don't want anything to do with me for the rest of their life. 

Now onto some hilariousness some idiots who aren't my friends on facebook post on their walls. I was bored one day and thought I would search some of the people I did not liked and used to go to high school with which then led me to look at some of their statuses and laugh. I think I will do this as a monthly thing, "Idiots on Facebook and their thought provoking statuses." 


I love how you just cannot say no to me....:)- That is creepy beyond belief. If you do not have the power to say no to someone then you need to go to therapy. Right now.

Ghost ride the whip!- ?!?!?!???

I Did A Bad Thing

Today before my college classes started I went to the library to basically mess around on the computers and to check my email and what not. There were no open cubicle things so I sat down near two guys at a table and started my computer. Please note that the computers at my college take atleast 15 minutes to start before anyone can actually sign in on them.
These two guys who I sat by have to be the biggest idiots I had the displeasure of hearing this week. Once I start having faith in the human race people have to prove me wrong on how unintelligent some humans can be. Basically these guys were being loud and obnoxious and rude, saying the stupidest stuff about sports and how "If you don't watch The Super Bowl we can't be 'hangers'." They then proceed to go on about how they want to go to this football game in Chicago to get fried chicken and how they must "score them tix" in order to go. After about another three minutes of this irritatingly loud conversation, guy #1 is spilling all of his secrets to guy #2 on how his girlfriend Minnie is a hoe and how he plans on breaking up with her this week because she's an annoying bitch. Guy #2 asks when he plans to do it and guy #1 states that if he doesn't get sex he'll break up with her tomorrow morning over coffee. LOL.

I believe one of these guys must have noticed me sitting there after that and let me just say that neither one of them were amused. Guy #1 (who we later learn is named Dave) starts yelling at me for absolutely no reason stating "Hey that's where John was going to sit, you need to get off!"
And I was all like: WTF man I have been sitting here for 10 minutes waiting for my computer to work, I'm not moving.

I was then called an ugly mousy bitch by guy #2 and guy #1 decided that they would go find John because they didn't want to be seen talking to me which I believe is lol worthy. Guy #1 then decides before leaving that it would be fun to hit the mouse off of the table and kick my backpack. He was lucky he left. I may have been tired but I don't need to be treated like that.

After the two left the library to find John I happened to notice something; kid #1 forgot to log off of his computer. Kid #1 also forgot to sign off of Facebook while he was acting like a complete ass. Still in a rage I probably did the most horrible thing I have ever done in my life and I don't really feel that guilty about it; I made a wall post for Dave, written by Dave. This wall post said "I'm thinking about breaking up with my gf this week. She is starting to be an annoying hoe. Hope you read this Minnie, it's a warning." I must say I did rather well with sounding like Dave. He was a presumptuous douche in all of his wall posts so I can only assume Minnie will not take kindly to this. Hopefully Minnie does read that and breaks up with him, I have no idea who she is but she deserves better.

Let this be a warning to people out there who plan to screw with me or annoy me; I will ruin your life after destroying it. People need to get something through their heads, I may be the nicest person you've ever come across and seem a bit 'happy' but if you make me mad it is war and war is bad. I can be the nicest person ever or a complete nightmare. If you piss me off in a way that makes me extremely upset I won't burn your car or punch you in the face, but  I can find ways of irritating you if you go across my certain line of irritation.

Comment: Yeah yeah I couldn't decide. I am extremely happy about both nominations. Dame Maggie Smith always brings an excellent performance in everything she does.  Froggatt has been my favorite character since the beginning (after Daisy) and gives an electrifying performance whereas Smith probably has the best lines in the show. I am in such a frenzy as to which one to choose. I'm leaning more towards Froggatt considering I don't think Smith ever shows up to the award ceremonies.
