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!

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. 

The Outside World

I went to the grocery store today. Hooray!!! I'm just kidding it really wasn't that big of a deal considering I had to go out anyways and stop watching the Olympic swimmers! But I get to the store and low and behold who do I see? MR. PHILOSOPHY TEACHER! I do not enjoy seeing him during school hours but I thought I would be nice and say hi considering avoiding someone you know is just mean no matter how abnormal they may be. He then goes up to my me and my mom and starts screaming at HER about the importance of final exams and how I should be at home studying for his which is on Monday! I can kind of understand this if I was a suck student and not getting a good grade in his class and if I was in high school, but what the heck was that all about? This is another good example as to why I distance myself from the outside world. My mom thought he was odd and now sees why I cannot take him seriously. 

Besides that little encounter, I forgot to mention that I bought some Faygo. This is considered a BIG DEAL amongst the lady who was behind the checkout counter. She asked if I was a Juggalo-which unfortunately I was not familiar with that term so I say "no..." she then asks if I like the band Insane Clown Posse. Ahaha! Almost as much as I like hearing a ticking clock during an exam and having lemon juice poured into my eyelids, thanks lady. Oh but because I said that "I am not a huge fan of them" she starts THROWING my Faygo into the bags (surprised they didn't explode!) and mumbling how I could never be part of the family. 0_0
Because I found this conversation incredibly idiotic I looked up what a juggalo was via google. Alls I can say is wow. Not enjoying what I have read about these people. I'm sure some of the fan base is not like what I've read about but truly every subculture has it's crazies.

What I've learned so far;

1. The band, which I think is completely terrible and cannot sing nor write lyrics not composing of bodily harm or how they want to 'tap dat gurl' not only uses Faygo during their shows but actually talks about the beverage IN their songs which is quite hilarious.



And I love how people defend ICP's horrendous music which consistently goes something like this;
"Every bands gonna have songs with stupid parts. It's just natural." Um no, no it's not. I can list at least 10 bands where no stupid part is to be found in any of their songs.

or
"You just don't get the message!!!!" 

2. "Down wit da clown!" is an expression used for 'outsiders' who dislike their lifestyle.
3. "WHOOP WHOOP!" another thing that juggy's like to say.
4. Using the "Wicked Clown Hand gesture" BWAHAHAHA! I must find a picture of this and laugh!
Ok here we go;

That is the hand gesture. I doubt I could do this considering I'm unable to do the Star Trek "Live Long and Prosper."

5. Enjoys starting fights with each other, particularly using hatchets and knives. This is where it just got sad. Clowns are supposed to have balloons not weapons!
6. Considered a type of 'gang' in some states. This is also sad considering;
7. Most wear clown makeup and try looking tough by dressing in a crazy fashion.If you wish to dress like a clown, I guess that is fine, but being violent and screaming "I'll eff you up with my hatchet cuz I'm down with the clown" is not. Clowns are supposed to be nice no matter what Stephen King says.
8. They consider themselves to be a family which creeps me out with how cult like it sounds. 
9. Read that the clown from The Nightmare Before Christmas is considered a role-model. Please tell me that's wrong!
10. 99% of them seem to be illiterate or like to threaten people (never seeming to back their threats up) and swear like a sailor to get their non-existent point across.

Overall, not really digging this. But do not let these people stop you from trying Faygo, it is delicious. The poor soda company did not ask to be associated with them and I don't think  ICP wanted all this violence associated with them either.
