Don't let me go~Shrek

One of THE BEST Shrek Songs Ever.

DONKEY:
Hey, hey, hey! You gotta let me go with you!
You don't know what it's like to be considered a freak!
Well maybe you do.
But that’s why we gotta stick together!
No, no, no! Don't speak, don't speak, don’t speak!

Just hear me out! I might surprise you.
I'll be a friend, when others despise you.
Don't roll your eyes! Stop with the mopin’.
You need a pal! My calendar’s open!

I'll bring you soup, when you feel congested.
I'll bail you out, when you get arrested!
I got your back, wha-wha-what, when things get scary.
And I'll shave it, when it gets hairy!

Don't let me go!
Don't let me go!
Don't let me go!
You need me!
You need me!

I'll treat you right, and never get shoddy.
If you kill a man, I'll hide the body!
So what do you say? You’re not responding...
I think we're bonding!

Don't let me go.
Don't let me go.
Don't let me go!
You need me.

You and me, we belong together.
Like butter and grits,
Like kibbles and bits,
Like yin and yang,
Stern and Trang,
Like Eng and Chang, attached at the hip
But not an old lady hip that might break
I’m gonna be on you like a fat kid on cake!

DONKEY (spoken):
Like Cupid and Psyche, like pop rocks and Mikey,
we’ll stick together like that Velcro stuff, I’m the fuzzy side; you’ll be the spiky.
Ooh! Like little kids and pajamas with those funny things at the bottom, you know, feeties.
Like donuts and… oh, what goes with donuts?

DONKEY:
Donuts and diabetes!

Don't let me go!
Don't let me go!
Don't let me go!
Don't let me go!
Hold me! Hug me! Take me, please!
Na-na-na-na-na-na, please don't let me go!
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you,
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you!
Don't let me go, Go! Go! Don't let me g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-go!

I know it's today~Shrek

YOUNG FIONA,
(Spoken)
Settle in girls. It's story time! Isn't this fun? It's like a sleep over,
but instead of a pillow fight, there is an insane dragon who incenterates things.
Now where were we? Oh right,

(Sung)
There’s a princess
In a tower
Oh my gosh, that’s just like me
Poor Rapunzel
Needs a haircut
But the witch won’t set her free
She passes time by singing
Like someone else I know
As years go by she sits and waits…
As years go by? Uh oh
A torturous existence
I don’t remember this part!
She wishes she were dead?
Skip ahead skip ahead!
But in the end Rapunzel finds a millionaire
The prince is good at climbing and braiding golden hair!

So I know, he’ll appear
Cause there are rules and there are strictures
I believe the storybooks I read by candlelight
My white knight, and his steed
Will look just like these pictures!
It won’t be long now, I guarantee!
Day number…23.
I know its today
I know its today

TEENSAGE FIONA:
(Spoken)
Oh here's a good one! It's a classic!

(Sung)
There’s a princess
In a coma
Glad its her instead of me.
Pretty maiden
In a glass box
How I wonder does she pee?
Blah blah blah, poison apple
Boring boring evil queen
Filler filler, been there, read that!
Seven shorties on the scene.
Skip ahead, skip ahead…
But in the end the princess wakes up with a start
The prince is good at kissing
And melting Snow White’s heart!

So I know, he’ll appear
And his armor will be blinding!
As shining as his perfect teeth
And then repose
He’ll propose
On one knee
And our prenupt will be binding!
About time we set the wedding date!
Day number…958.
I know it's today.
He’ll show up today....


FIONA:
...ay...
There’s a princess
Any princess
Take your pick, they’re all like me
Not exactly, I’m still waiting
they’re living happily
Ever after better get here
I want love in seconds flat
No one needs these middle bits
Oops, did I do that?

Cut the villains, cut the vamping
Cut this fairytale
Cut the peril and the pitfalls
Cut the puppet and the whale
Cut the monsters, cut the curses
Keep the intro, cut the verses
And the waiting, the waiting, the waiting, the waiting
The waiting!

But I know, he’ll appear
Though I seem a bit bipolar
And I’m a vandal now as well, though he won’t mind
I’m a find, I’m a catch
And a very gifted bowler!
It won’t be long now, I guarantee!
Day number…

Are you there God?
It’s me Fiona…

ALL FIONAS:
It’s me Fiona!

Now I know, he’ll appear
Cause there are rules and there are strictures
I believe the storybooks I read by candlelight
My white knight, my knight and his steed
Will look just like these pictures!
It won’t be long now, I guarantee!

YOUNG FIONA
Day number 23

TEENAGE FIONA
Day number 958

FIONA:
Day number 4823

YOUNG FIONA
I know its today, oooo

TEENAGE FIONA
I know its today, oooo

FIONA,
I know its today, oooo

YOUNG FIONA
I know its today, oooo

TEENAGE FIONA
I know its today, oooo

FIONA,
I Know it's today

ALL FIONAS,
I know it's today!

This is our story~Shrek the Musical

[FIONA]
I waited all my life
Lived it by the book
Now I know that's not my story
You take me as I am
Love me as I look
Standing here in all my glory

I am sweetness
I am bratty
I'm a princess
I'm a fatty
I'm a mess of contradictions in a dress
I am sassy
I am sappy
When I'm with you, I am happy

This is my story

[SHREK]
You laugh at all my jokes
Even though they're crude
You don't mind that I'm not classy

[SHREK & FIONA]
We make a perfect pair
Radiant and rude
So in love and much too gassy

We are ogres
We are scary

[SHREK, FIONA, & DONKEY]
We are donkeys
We are hairy
We have bold and brand new stories to be told
We will write them
We will tell them
You will hear them
You will smell them

This is our story

[Spoken by Shrek]
...And that is how the little ogre came to live on the swamp with a beautiful princess-

[Donkey butts in]
AND his best friend!

[Shrek correcting himself]
AND his best friend!

[Fairytale Creatures joining in]
And a gingerbread man!
And a very handsome puppet!
And an elf!
And a fairy godmother!
And a witch!
And a cross-dressin' wolf!
And the three pigs!

[Sung by all]
What makes us special
(What makes us special)
What makes us special
(What makes us special)
What make us special makes us strong!

We are witches
We are fairies
We are weirdos

[Shouted by Pinocchio]
I'm AN AIRES!

[All Singing]
We're a giant Whitman’s sampler here to try

We are puppets
We are rabbits
We are hobbits with bad habits
We're a screwy but reliant crazy stew
We are different and united
You are us and we are you

This is our story
This is our story
This is our story

[Gingy shouting]
GOD BLESS US EVERYONE!

[Sung by all]
THEEEEEEE EEEEENNND!!!

great.

Well, in rehearsal yesterday, something somewhat unfortunate happened. So on the Saturday before yesterday, I got an okay flapper dress for the musical. It fit all right; it only needed a few alterations, and the colors weren't that terrible. They weren't the best colors in the world, but they defenitely could be worse. I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me, so I put it on a hanger and put a tag with my name on it on the hanger and put it in on the rack for the dresses that needed alterations. So yesterday, I went to rehearsal and the dress that I had tried on the week before was on another girl's hanger and probably altered to her measurements. What's worse is that there was only one spare dress that's the color of a peanut that has a little mold on it. Kind of a gross light grey-brown-purple. And it has black fringe. I don't know who would put a dark accent on a light colored dress, but someone did. What's even worse is that it was at least six inches too big on me in every direction and I had to stand for like an hour to get it taken in. What's even WORSE is that the fabric is kind of fraying on some parts. Like, obviously fraying. It is THE most annoying thing EVER.

If you could see me right now....

... I would be dancing around singing. If I could dance, sing and type all at once. I just remembered that the "Swan Princess" soundtrack is back on iTunes, from which I was FINALLY able to buy the rest of my favorite songs on the soundtrack. This is a VERY good thing. "The Swan Princess" was part of my childhood. I'm not kidding. This is SO BEAST! Hooray! Okay, right now I'm listening to the song that I bought ages ago, "This Is My Idea," but NEXT is one of my new ones. AND the one after that. AND the next one. AND the other next one. Okay, I only have like four. But still. HOORAY! ITunes has FINALLY done something right. YESYESYESYESYES!

In other news, rehearsal today was very good. We ran Act Two and part of Act One. I think we'll be ready for the show next week. I was finally able to go try on my lab-whore-child dress, and it wasn't that terrible. But still. It's still kind of weird. I'll get used to it, I guess.

Okay, NOW it is playing one of the new ones- "Far Longer than Forever." It's the love song. I like it. It's really pretty.

Destined to last for a lifetime and beyond...

Sorry.

Okay, I have to go in ten minutes to go watch "Project Runway." Hooray! This day is FINALLY turning out right! I'm just going to go log off now. Bye. For now.

WHOA!

Dude! My brother is officially legal as of today! It's so weird! And he didn't even open our cards this morning! Mind you, he was in a real rush, so it makes sense.

I actually got an okay amount of sleep last night, so I'm super hyped up on sleep energy and the lunch I just finished halfway, which included a chocolate chip muffin that was technically one of my brother's... ssh...

Anyway, I'm hyper right now. It's kind of nice to actually have energy for a change. WAHOOOO! Anyway, we got held late last night in rehearsal because notes took forever. I was also at school longer than I was at home. And I finally saw the dress I'm supposed to wear for the scene when I have two lines. It's as if a lab coat met a slutty nurse dress and had a kid, it would be my dress. It's white and button down in the front, and it's probably as unflattering as the one I have to wear in the office scenes. Oh, well.

In other news, the show goes up next week. And next week, when I will be at school until 9 pm every day, I will end up spending more time out of the house and at school than I will at home. Crazy, huh? But that's show biz.

I'm also FINALLY getting the dance steps.

And HOLY COW PROJECT RUNWAY STARTED LAST NIGHT! I'm watching the rerun tonight, though. I'm psyched. Now is the point where I am equally psyched about both shows. Hooray! I won't be able to watch next week, because of the musical, but oh well.

And I'm going to go finish the other half of my lunch. Goodbye for now.

GAH! TIRED!

Well, I'm somewhat tired, sore, and kind of stressed about the musical. What else is new? Right now, life's really kind of monotonous. It's really annoying. Um... what to say now? I finally checked out the first book of the "Protectors of the Small" series. The same one that I accidentally checked out the third one for instead of the first one. But the other annoying thing is that my shoulder bag has been stolen. It has all the important stuff- my ID, keys, wallet, extra pens, stuff like that. Did I already tell you that? Either way, it's REALLY annoying. I checked all the lost and found bins in the school, even the ones that were most likely infested with Herpes or Swine Flu or something. It wasn't there. GAH! So far, all twenty pages of the book have been good. Tamora Pierce is officially my new favorite author, even though I've only read one and an eighth of the twenty-something books she's written. I like her because she has really good female leads, which is really nice because it gets really boring when the prince saves the girl for the millionth time running. So that's why I like Tamora Pierce. And the fact that there are female knights in her books. Well, in two of the series she has written, anyway. The Alana series was the classic "I'm dressing as a boy to go through knight training because the law is stupid but I'm doing it anyway," but the other is after they have made a law that girls are allowed to train as knights.

goodness.

I really am starting to not enjoy rehearsal. See, the typical rehearsal cycle is to not enjoy it, then to sort of enjoy it, then to start to hate it again. It's kind of a vicious cycle, but whatever.
And Project Runway starts again tomorrow night, but I won't be able to see it because it's on at ten and I have rehearsal and I'm not allowed to stay up until eleven on school nights. But I'll probably be able to watch it on Friday. My mom can apparently tell that I'm more psyched about Project Runway than I am about the musical. That's not entirely true. It's true right now, but once we start rehearsing in costume it'll be different. A lot different. Different in a good way. But right now, it's just misery times ten because I'm always tired and my feet always hurt. But it always turns out well in the end. I hope. It'll be more worth it on show night because we'll be able to sit down instead of standing and dancing constantly. But it'll work. Probably. Hopefully. I still like rehearsal and Project Runway.
Which reminds me, I need to get a pair of light wash jeans. Last year I got a pair of jeans over break and then had everyone sign them on the three show nights. The only problem is that I don't have any TIME to get them. It's the most annoying thing ever.

NOT COOL

Dude!!! They somehow managed to shut down MyLifeIsG.com!!! THIS IS NOT COOL!!! AT ALL!!! It was the coolest site in eternity!!! It was this site where people share nice stories and stuff. I loved it because it was all warm and fuzzy. BUT IT ISN'T THERE ANYMORE!!! What is this world coming to? Deleting websites that are actually nice? I bet F My Life is still around, just because people like laughing at other people instead of laughing with them. Typical. I hate America. They delete cool sites that spread the love instead of have people rant about annoying stuff. Okay, this blog is sort of like that for me. But that's not the point. The point is that F My Life is COMPLETELY stupid because it is all like, "negative humor!!! Hooray!!!" And My Life Is G is all like "I had an awesome day today. Here's why. Hooray!!!" That is WAY more productive, nice, and overall awesomer than F My Life, because it's all like, celebrate the joys. But NOOOOO. It's freaking NOT THERE ANYMORE because admins somewhere are really STUPID and not publishing good STORIES. I hate this. But, unfortunately, I have to go put on proper shoes for a four-hour dance rehearsal. This is brilliant. Just brilliant. I'll probably post tomorrow. But still. Spread the love!

halloooo!

I had no time to do anything except what was already planned this weekend. It was the worst thing ever. I had rehearsal and babysitting and I had to go to church and I had to go to this really, really long girl scout meeting about the Switzerland trip that we are going to do next year. It was interesting, but the leader of the troop that was telling us about it talked SO FREAKING MUCH! It was crazy. Anyway, I have rehearsal for like four hours today. This is going to be SO MUCH FUN! Not. The show goes up next week, so it's understandable, but still. It stinks. We did costumes on Saturday, and my Office Girl dress is the most unflattering thing ever. But, they all are. And the flapper dresses are really cool. They're all homemade, I think. We're borrowing a lot of the costumes from the school that won the regional award for the best costumes for the same show a couple of years ago. But not all the costumes are borrowed from the other school. I brought in this dress that I made for this 20's day thing in 7th grade that I made for extra credit. So it works. Hooray! Anyhoo, my flapper dress is dark brown with this gold- tan fringe. It is a very weird color, but whatever. Apparently brown looks good on me. I really have no idea why. But apparently it does.

EPIC WIN!

So my TA opened Secret Santa presents today. We couldn't when we were originally going to because there were three extra days of break because of the snow, so we decided to do it today instead. Friday TAs are the fun ones, so it worked. My Secret Santa gave me the best present in the WORLD: a Captain Jack Sparrow (yes, Captain) doll that she had made herself. It was the BEST THING EVER. I'm not kidding. Even though it wasn't a spitting image of him, it didn't really matter, because the whole thing was hand made so it all worked. EPIC WIN! So in other news, we had a two hour delay today, so I actually got to sleep in for a change. Because of that and I went to bed kind of early, I was able to get like ten hours of sleep and actually grow a bit. So that was kind of awesome. With the character shoes on and everything, I think I am one of the tallest people in the cast of our musical. Hooray! Our show goes up in two weeks. AIEEE! I hope we can be ready by then. I don't know if we'll be able to. But it will hopefully work out all right and then everything will be cool.

sigh.

I hate being so tired. It's always so miserable and tiresome and depressing all the time, even though it's sunny today, it's not doing a lot for my mood. I can't sleep yet because I have rehearsal. I tried to go to sleep early last night, but I forgot to go to take a shower til like ten, which is the normal time I go, so I didn't get to bed til like eleven. Life sucks with chronic not-enough-sleep-ness. Note to self: go to bed early tonight over pain of death and misery! I'm not entirely sure that will work, but whatever. The extra exclamation points should do it... not. Anyway, I really need the sleep. I think it's just habit that I don't go to bed til like eleven even though I really need to go earlier. I really want to sleep more, but it's a vicious cycle: I wake up tired, so I drink coffee, but then I have to stay at school an extra three hours, so I hang out on the computer at home longer, so I get to bed later, and also because I'm still caffinated, so I sleep less, so I wake up tired so I can do it all again. I don't know what else to do except force myself to get off the computer. I my dad agreed to force me to get off the computer at 9:30 tonight so I could get to bed earlier, but I'm not entirely sure whether he actually will or not. I doubt it. But it could work. PLEASE LET IT WORK! I really need to stop talking to myself. Another thing on the List of Stuff I Should Probably Do. Sigh. I hate high school.
