Well, being such a NaNoWriMo nerd, I went on the website and started looking at the old videos. Which are funny. My favorites are the donor shout-outs and the song parodies - there's one called "NaNo will make a scribe out of you" (parody of the Mulan song "I'll make a man out of you."). There's also a parody of the William Tell overture.
And, at the end of page two, there's the NaNo Video bloopers.
These aren't the bloopers of the song parodies - these are the bloopers of the Donor Shout-out videos, pep talk videos, and whatever other videos happen to be officially made by the people at the OLL.
And it made me very happy because there was a Ewok at the end.
Even though it's in the 2009 bloopers.
And it's probably a copyright violation.
Anyhow, I'm going to go now. And bake cookies. Or just debate whether we have enough cookies. No, 100 cookies is NOT ENOUGH. I have to make 10 dozen for the Snowflake Ball tonight, which I was going to attend for volunteer hours, but I couldn't because the show was postponed. But they still need the cookies. Because there are going to be like 400 people there. If 400 people want three cookies each, and 12 girls make 10 dozen cookies each... never mind, I don't want to do the math. Wait... wait... yeah, I don't want to do the math.
But the point is, they want enough so that the people who just sit on the sides and eat cookies won't wipe out the entire supply of meringues.
Also, so there will actually be meringues.
Yes, I made meringues.
And, in making them, I got all of my hours - they're three hours in the oven.
And I have to go do a cookie conference now.
Stay awesome, people.
P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT KAREN!

anniversary!
Well, two years ago today, I started this blog on a whim because I felt like it. I had no idea why I did it; I didn't know what I would do with it in the future. I STILL don't know what I'm doing with it, aside from ranting to the internet and posting my writing. And stuff. Since then, I have been in five shows... SIX shows, done three mission trips, had two jobs in one summer, and went to Disney world. Also, used power tools. And written fifty thousand words in a month. More than that, probably.
Also, I've come up with more ideas than I ever thought possible and also had a lot of arguments with my mother. And a lot of other cool stuff that was really cool that I didn't really think, as a freshman, that I'd do. Like use power tools. And writing a novel in a month. And getting my black belt.
Speaking of black belts, after the show is over, I'm going to have all of one month to review all the stuff that I need to review and learn the second kup stuff for my second degree test in March.
Which is another thing that I didn't think that I'd manage to do - get my second degree.
I'm going to have to do a LOT of push-ups in order to prepare for the test. Which will be exhausting. And traumatizing. And stuff. BRING IT ON!!!
SO anyway, if you haven't already, you need to go see Guys and Dolls and also go into the archives and see what all I said as a freshman in high school.

New Literary Update
Okay, so as a Creative Writing Challenge, we had to write little pieces with words that were only one syllable. It was actually kind of hard. But here's mine. It's from the perspective of Shyasha, but I obviously couldn't have it in third person because both her name and her nickname (Shya) are more than one syllable. ARGH!
“I am the girl they hate now, Tel,” I say. “I’m not worth it.”
“Why?” he asks.
“Need I say, once more –” I start, but he cuts me off.
“You’re strange now,” he says, a sad note in his voice. “I’m not sure I like it.”
“Why?” I say. “It should not be worse than what I am named by the public.”
“I met you as a child,” Tel said, out of the blue. “I fell in love with you as a man. Now I feel shame when I see you. Does that make me more of a man or more of a child?”
“Shame for me?” I say. “I need no help in that area, thank you.”
“No, shame for me,” he says. “I hurt you. I killed you. Once I fell in love with you, I killed you. And then I wed your –”
“I know what you did,” I cut off. “But it must be much more… nice, to be the King with the Rose of the Land as your bride, not the groom of a girl with scars of shame and no true home.”
“I would pick the girl with the scars,” Tel says, “because the scars have a past. They show that the girl has a spark that the rich bride lacks. Last time I saw, the scars had a past that should be told; a past that wants to get out.” He steps near to me and stares down at me like I am not what he is used to; it is true, I am not. This look still has a thought in back of the sad look. “Does that wild girl still have fire?” he asks in a soft voice; his dark eyes watch mine. “Or has the shame of her face put it out?” His hand comes up to touch my face; I brush it off.
“The wild girl has fire,” I say, “but she knows now what to do with it. If it is not used right, though, she has scars to tell her. I think you may need the scars too, Tel. It would do you good.”
“I could use them,” he says in a soft voice. “Then I would know how you feel.”
“You have no chance to know,” I say, as I pull up my hood and turn to go, “Until you feel the pain of a heart that has been hurt. Until then, you have no clue.”
“My heart has not been hurt by this?” he asks as I reach the door.
“Not as bad as mine has,” I grunt, too quietly for him to hear.

Argh
Well, due to the fact that the show was essentially snowed out, Guys and Dolls did NOT go up this past weekend. Instead, it will be going up THIS weekend.
I originally was going to work at a Girl Scout event for Silver Trefoil hours on Saturday, but that's not happening. Instead of monitoring second-graders, I will be 'beating up' Cubans, picking pockets, waiting tables, singing, dancing, helping with testimony, and returning wallets. Also, I'll be getting chased up and down Broadway by a horde of rampant people (police officer, fellow money-mangler, and two victims). But I'm exceedingly excited nonetheless.
Although the director has yet to inform us how we're going to make up the rehearsal we missed, I'm glad that the show is going up and that Winter Formal has been moved so that loud rap music won't be conflicting with "Adelaide's Lament" on Friday night.
There is a lot of trouble with moving the show, however - the students of the pit who are in District Band are not allowed to miss their two-hour rehearsal on Thursday or their performance on Saturday, or they will not be allowed to audition again for another two years.
Which really sucks.
But, on the bright side (at least for me), I am bowing alongside fewer than three people! This means that I FINALLY count as non-ensemble!! HOORAY! Okay, I'm still bowing with one other person, but still. We're the sort of "these are the two random people who are too important for ensemble but not important enough to have their own bow so they're bowing together" type bow. YAY!

POWER!
Well, we had no power or rehearsal yesterday, which makes me quite sad. What makes me even more sad is that we have no school today, which means no opening night tonight. Although I sort of dislike Thursday night performances, there's still the undeniable fact that Friday is now opening night, which will sort of mean that Friday, which should be well-attended, will not be as good as it could be. We missed two full run-throughs, one of them being the opening performance, which is kind of bad.
Also, some of the seniors have college auditions on Saturday in the middle of the matinee (the replacement third performance), which is kind of bad, as one of them is kind of significant. I AM glad we're doing the third performance, (the music department kind of needs it), but I don't know whether it's going to be any good, since there will be some significant people missing and lack of publicity. SO yeah.
Also, I was kind of looking forward to opening night.
Also, now that there's no school and no show, I have absolutely no excuse not to get all my due-tomorrow homework done.
Grr.
At least we have power!

[falls asleep on keyboard]
Well, as of six thirty this morning, I have officially proved that five-hour rehearsals SUCK. Especially if you have AP history terms to finish, and if you have small enough parts to have big gaps between your parts but big enough parts to not be able to get anything done (except scene and costume changes) in between. I mean, I'm AWARE that there's not even the occasional homework thing for the students in the pit (there, I admitted that it's hard for the pit as well. Happy, Jillster?), but there's still the fact that it kind of sucks for the performers too. We have to sing and dance at the same time, remember lines and blocking, and make sure that we get enough sleep AND finish homework in the little amount of time that we have in between!
Jillster, for the record, I respect your work and stuff, but I still don't know how you survive without free blocks. Remember to sign up for one next year if you plan on being in the pit again (or want to be in any show again. It is a General Rule of Thumb for any Student That Plans to be Involved in Any Show Week Ever). But it's a General Tip for any middle schooler who wants to sign up for the musical in high school: make sure you have study hall or a free block in which to do your homework for all the annoying teachers that assign lots of homework (and for all the homework for the other teachers, too). That is, if you want to actually SLEEP and not have your growth severely stunted and your temper fuse cut short.
But still, it's going to save you a LOT of time when you get home from rehearsal and you're all tired and stuff and you don't want to finish your homework.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

;)
Well, here I am. In the library. Blogging. Two hours before the commencement of the nine-o-clock rehearsal occurs. Oh, joy. This is going to be difficult. Show week always is. This week is when we start rehearsing with a full band, doing full runs of the show, and hoping and praying to whatever deities that we worship that we don't fail too much by opening night. This is also the time of full lights, full costume, and full levels of craziness. Also, eating dinner at school rather than at home. And trying to do homework between scene changes, scenes, costume changes, and anything else that might be going on.
Which is a lot.
Although I really like show week, this is usually the hardest week of the school year. With the all-grades show, there isn't as much pressure not to mess up. Not that there isn't any pressure not to mess up in the all-grades show. It's just there's MORE pressure not to mess up in the musical because there are professional musicians in the pit and we don't want to waste more of their time than is necessary. Also, they're PROFESSIONAL.
Also, there is the fact that our musical is normally really good. Except, for the record, this time isn't going to be really good. It's going to be fairly bad, in fact. Why?
Certain characters who shall remain nameless STILL don't know all of their lines. These people are significant enough to have a lot of lines, so it's somewhat excusable; however, they have all of THREE DAYS to make it right. Okay, three and a half. But still. The point is, normally by this point people would have all their lines memorized and would be held over pain of death and being cut from the show if they did not.
Also, we would have already had the platform built on the stage, when we only got it on Saturday. This is not going to go well. However, as my mom rightly said, normally a terrible tech week means a great opening night. HOPEFULLY that will prove true. There are also still some props to be dealt with, and some other annoying things that seem to happen during show week.
However, I think a lot of the time, all this stuff happens during show week in order to have a good show. But this still doesn't disprove the fact that this will be the HARDEST show week in the history of Show Weeks.
That being said, I'm going to go do some homework. Goodbye.

Rehearsal! (also, college)
Well, I'm not at rehearsal NOW. But I'll be going forth to attend rehearsal in approximately half an hour. So it counts. Sort of.
Anyhow, on Wednesday, we started the English electives for third quarter, and everyone in my class (SAT prep) got a Naviance account. Naviance is this online college-helper-finder thingamabopper that also does your personality profile (Jungian style) and career reccomendations and stuff. It is actually kind of helpful. Well, except for the part where the college consulor for my school put my GPA in as a 3.3 (as of now, it is technically around a 3.5, counting this semester), so basically the only school that I am smart enough to get in to (that I want to go to, anyway) is Longwood University. Not that I'm complaining. I kind of really want to go to Longwood. But still. So far, that's the ONLY school that I can reasonably get in to with a 3.3 GPA. Which is kind of discouraging, due to the fact that I want to go to college.
Hopefully it will have gone up to a 3.5 by the time I actually start applying... because it would really suck if it didn't, because I wouldn't be able to get in ANYWHERE.

school post
Well, here I am again. Blogging. And stuff. I have a free block from creative writing, and I should be using it to work on the preliminary research for a history essay, but I'm instead using it for slacking. I'm using all my slack-off time now instead of later so I can focus better on the essay. I know that it makes absolutely NO sense anywhere except in my head.
I'm also here to look up the proper spelling of "reconcilable." Which I actually spelled correctly, for a change.
The essay has to be hand-written, black ink, double spaced, one-sided, and written in 60 minutes or fewer, so that's why I need the spell-check. I should also be looking for quotes as well.
And it's almost 2:00, so I'm going to go and do that now, so I can NOT FAIL AP history. Because if I did, that would really suck. It would also be the only class I have ever failed ever.
And there is the slight danger that that might actually happen. And I REALLY don't want that to happen. SO I'm going now. Goodbye.
p.s. Does it count as failing the AP class if you pass the class but not the AP exam? Or if you fail the exam, do you just not get to use the AP credit to get out of history the second time?

BACK!
Yes, I know, I haven't been posting regularly. I blame rehearsal.
Anyway, I had a four day weekend, but that didn't exempt me from rehearsal OR finishing important stuff, which is why I didn't post earlier. That, and the fact that I slept until ten instead of six thirty, and I finished my Gold Award DVD, and my thank-you notes, and had a voice lesson, and started my AP history reading. So, in short, the only chill time I had today was in the ten minutes between an AP article and my voice lesson. Yeah, not a lot of time.
Rehearsal is going well, except for the part where "Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat" still kind of stinks and the fact that some of the major actors *ahem*Sky*ahem*Arvide*ahem* still haven't finished memorizing their lines. But other than that, it's going quite well. I think we're getting musicians soon, which is extremely exciting. This will help us rehearse not standing on the (currently invisible) musicians while waiting backstage and for me to practice running around backstage like a maniac and randomly pulling off clothes (okay, not entirely at random. And yes, I do have a shirt on under the one I'm taking off. But I'm still not allowed to kill anyone while crossing backstage. Who ELSE will get Sarah drunk?)
Okay, I have to go eat now.
Goodbye.

yes, I still exist
Yes, I know that I haven't posted in forever. I have had rehearsal. And also homework. And also midterms. And stuff. Today's the last day of the quarter, so I have been kind of stressing about stuff. Like making sure that I do not get more C's than I need to. Aka fewer than one if I can. Which may or may not be possible, considering late work and my physics teacher's grading scale.
Speaking of grading scales, the superintendent of my school district is trying to standardize all grading, all teaching, and basically all of everything. In a way, this is good: this means that if I have and 84 in physics, that can be a B, not a C. However, apparently he wants to have all the classes be scripted, which is kind of insane. He also wants to make tests 75% of the grade of every class, which is kind of stupid. How can you test the creativity of someone's writing? How does one test one's singing capability? I mean, I can see why he's doing this whole standardization thing - so moms with kids at school A do not get annoyed that their kids at school B are getting 90% as a B while their siblings at school A are getting 90% as an A. But still.
And speaking of ANOTHER rant that I need to get out of my system: WHY ARE THEY CHANGING THE ZODIAC SIGNS? I am an ARIES, not a PISCES. It's REALLY ANNOYING! This is right up there in Cosmic Necessities with Pluto still being a planet. You can't just go and CHANGE something that's been going on for several thousands of years. It's INSANE!!!!
Okay, I'm done being mad at stuff now. I'm going to rehearsal. Goodbye.
HAPPY FRIDAY!

MORE MUSIC!
Well, once again, I have bought MORE MUSIC on iTunes (and now I am WAY below ten bucks on the gift card). And I'm EXCEEDINGLY happy because it is the two songs from '1776' that make me very happy: "But Mr. Adams" and "the Egg." Especially the part I just passed... Adams: I am only forty-one, I still have my verility/ I can romp through Cupid's grove with great agility/ but life is more than sexual combustiblity! I think a LOT of teenage girls today could do with that reminder... It's a masterpeice I say/ they will cheer every word every letter/ I wish I felt that way/ I think I can put it better/ now then attend/ as friend to friend/ our declaration committee/ for us I see/ immortality/ in Philadelphia city... Like that part too. Why? I have no idea. Partly because I can kind of relate to Jefferson not thinking the Declaration is worth crap - he WROTE it. He's ENTITLED to think that. And then Franklin says that he thinks they are going to wind up immortal. I guess they kind of did end up immortal, but this was written two hundred years after the thought might have passed through Benjamin Franklin's brain, so we'll never know.
