Maybe no one told you there is strength in your tears,
And so you fight to keep from pouring out.
But what if you unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul?
Do you think there is enough that you would drown?

If no one will listen if you decide to speak,
If no one is left standing after the bombs explode,
If no one wants to look at you for what you really are,
I will be here still.

No one can take you where you alone must go
There's no telling what you will find there
And, God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones
Screaming every step, "Just stay here!"

If no one will listen if you decide to speak,
If no one is left standing after the bombs explode,
If no one wants to look at you for what you really are,
I will be here still.

If you find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down,
If your legs have given out under the weight,
If you find you've been settling for world of grey,
So you wouldn't have to face down your own hate.

If no one will listen if you decide to speak,
If no one is left standing after the bombs explode,
If no one wants to look at you for what you really are,
I will be here still;
I will be here still.

Does anyone like marzipan?

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 06:52:14 GMT

I hate being told what to do. I don't care if you're right or I'm right, if I don't ask for instruction, I don't fucking need it.

In other news, I had a wonderful weekend at Disneyland!!! The Carolyns are amazing and we had so much fun, I definitely recommend the whole road trip idea to anyone, it's great fun.

I leave for Europe on Saturday, and I want to see people before, so let me know when you're free and we'll party!

Your Score: Social Joker Soul

You scored 20 Extroversion, -13 Sensitivity, and 2 Openness!

You an an extroverted, playful and confident sort of person. You seek out excitement, and you love to be right in the thick of things. You are enthusiastic, garrulous, and you love to attend large social gatherings. You love to laugh. If you spend too much time at home, away from friends and fun, you tend to "fade", becoming tired and a little depressed. A fun night out with your friends soon re-energizes you, though.

You make friends easily, and you probably jump between several groups of people. You probably have a group of friends for every need - the friends you drink with, the friends you jam with, the friends you talk with about the meaning of life... You blend in with each group of people, showing your sensitive side when you are with certain friends, and hiding it from others. You love to meet new people, and to make new friends. However, you are not a slave to popularity. You will speak your mind to defend yourself or one of your friends if necessary. You are no shrinking violet, and you are more than capable of fighting your way out of a tight corner.

That being said, your confidence and your enthusiasm for fun can sometimes lead to your making thoughtless comments which hurt or insult people. These people, however, are probably over-sensitive squares who don't appreciate your sense of humour. You don't have much time for people like that, anyway.

Your daemon's form would represent your social, playful, yet honest personality. He or she would probably urge you to create further mayhem, or would make snide comments in your ear about the people you meet on a daily basis.

Suggested forms: Toucan, Crow, Macaque or Bonobo, African Wild Dog, Macaw.

Travel

Wed, 09 Apr 2008 16:09:12 GMT

So, I have not slept in the same city for two consecutive nights in almost a week. Saturday night I was in Ontario, Monday back in toga, Tuesday in Boston, Wednesday in Grand Rapids due to airlines and weather conspiring against me, tonight will be in Evanston, and tomorrow, with any luck *knocks on wood,* will be in Saratoga again. And as much as I do like traveling alone, it's kind of depressing to go to sleep all alone in a city where you don't know anyone in a very impersonal hotel room that you will never come to again. Oh well. Oh, and apparently Boston College essentially doesn't have a technical theatre department, which no one ever thought might be important to tell me until I showed up to sit in on a tech class and the teacher said, "don't come here if you really want to do theatre." Awesome.

Thespian

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 02:41:49 GMT

So, we went to Thespian Conference this past weekend, and it was soooo awesome, best conference ever!!!
I was chosen to stage manage the first act of the All-state show, which basically meant I sold my soul for the weekend, but it was quite a rewarding theatrical experience for me. I worked my ass off all weekend, didn't sleep, but I never once had to yell at any of the performers and we all worked perfectly together to produce by far the better act for the show. After the performance, the lighting designer and the head stage manager, completely unprompted and without needing to, said that I was one of the best stage managers they had ever worked with. I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend the experience to anyone going to conference in the future. This gave me hope that not every show has to involve breakdowns and disrespectful actors and going through hell to get to the final product. My techs were awesomely amazing and knew way more about their individual areas of expertise than I did, by far, but they accepted that I'm a little slow and they were wonderful (albeit a little scary sometimes). Except my asm, who was a complete ditz and waste of my time, but it worked cause my production assistant did what the asm was supposed to do in addition to her own work, so she's amazing. Every single performer from our act thanked me for my work this weekend and I love them all dearly and know that they will all go far in the professional world with the attitude they had. I have never smiled so much during the process of a show, it was amazing.

Yay, I got into UCLA and Washington University, St. Louis! Still haven't heard from Yale though, which is the one I'm really hoping for, keeping my fingers crossed...

México!!

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 09:15:25 GMT

Well, after hours of packing, I think I have everything *knocks on wood* and will be off to the airport in about 3 hours. I hope Señor knows I can't speak Spanish at 4 in the morning...I guess we'll find out. I'm nervous that I'll make an idiot of myself, but since it's basically guaranteed, I've resigned myself to the prospect.

Sooo we're only accessible by email, and we get computer time every day, I think, so email me if you like. Or Dilara or any of the conglomeration of students we will be invading the poor unsuspecting country with.

Ta ta for now! We'll be back late on the 23rd, if all goes well. Let me know if you'd like anything from México, we do get to shop and that should be fun and exciting.

I love you all dearly and will miss you! *mwah*

I should be sleeping, but instead...

Thu, 07 Feb 2008 07:23:42 GMT

So, here's the deal. You put your iPod on shuffle and write down the opening lyrics to each song that comes up. (Lyrics that begin with an ellipses come from songs in which the title appears at the very beginning, so I chose lyrics that appear slightly later on.) Then everyone else gets to guess (without looking up lyrics online; this is cheating!) Comment on this post with the number, song title, and artist, and I'll give you credit for it. Guess as many as you know. Have fun!

Yay for random itunes!

1: ...I'm sitting all alone on the telephone, waiting for your call, when you don't call at all.
2: And so, the grumpy guy and the lightbulb girl walked out into the new year's night, where it had begun to snow
3: Give us this day our daily dose of foe affliction, forgive our sins forged at the pulpit with forked tongues..
4: Don't call me a zero, I'm gonna be a hero, like Phil Esposito or the Kennedys.
5: Step out the front door like a ghost into a fog, where no one notices the contrast of white on white.
6: Dance all night, dance all night, dance all night, dance all night, dance all night, dance all night. (hehe, I'm cruel)
7: ...I been watching you, and I like the way you move, so go ahead girl just do that ass-shaky thing you do.
8: Tell your friends not to think out loud until they swallow. Words put things into my brain, you always sound so hollow.
9: I saw a werewolf with a chinese menu in his hand, walking through the streets of soho in the rain.
10: When I was just 17, I ran away from home, to be with all the pretty people, to be on my own. Bright lights and trains and bedset stains and payments made with gold.
-11: We are siamese if you please. Purrrr. We are siamese if you don't please. Purrr.
-12: Get your motor running, head out on the highway. Looking for adventure and whatever comes our way.
-13: I've heard a lot of songs say, where you going my son? Now I know they're true...
14: I've shampooed all the carpets, have doilies lined up neat, prepared all kinds of tasty and expensive treats to eat. I've double-checked the guest list to see who's rsvp'd, then I phone a special service to make my fete complete. (yeah, no one's gonna get this one)
15: Shorty had them apple-bottom jeans, boots with the fur, the whole club was looking at her. She hit the floor, next thing you know...
16: I missed you so much that I begged you to fly in and see me. You must have broke down cause you finally said that you would.
17: ...I lay down with an angel. Treat me kind sometime. Coming back, take me home. Mmmm wings of gold. Coming back, make me fly. Heaven below.
-18: Hey sister go sister soul sister go sister, Hey sister go sister soul sister go sister. He met Marmalade down in old New Orleans...
-19: ...It always leads me here, lead me to your door. The wild and windy night that the rain washed away has left it full of tears, crying for the day.
-20: ...Her name is Alberta, she lives in Vancouver, she cooks like my mother and sucks like a Hoover!
21: Every man has a place, in his heart there's a place and the world can't erase his fantasies. Take a ride in the sky on a ship fantasy.
22: ...I think we're flying. Look down and you'll see your pins and feathers and all other instruments of faith and sex and God in the belly of a black-winged bird.
-23: Ya gotta be a little more standoff-ish when fellers offer you a buggy ride.
24: ...I don't wanna be your tiger, cause tigers play too rough. I don't wanna be your lion, cause lions ain't the kind you love enough.
25: I like the bullet in the water, yeah. I like the morning after pill, hello. Ripping, lose control. I wanna *beat* you in the fire, yeah.
26: Broadway, broadway, we miss it so! We're leaving soon and taking June to star her in a show!
27: ...Just that old man, that old man. People will be laughing it's so funny. Specially him, whatever his name is.
28: ...I see her face everywhere I go, on the street and even at the picture show...I hear her voice as the cold winds blow, as the sweet music on my radio.
29: See the bluebird fly, easy as a dream. Dipping and bobbin in the sun. Could she be the one I saw so long ago? Could she be the one to take me home?
30: ...I keep looking for something I can't get, broken hearts are all around me and I don't see an easy way to get out of this. Diary sits by the bedside table, curtains are closed the cat's in the cradle.
31: ...I never realized what a kiss could be. This could only happen to me, can't you see, can't you see? That when I tell you that I love you, you're gonna say you love me too?
32: Somedays the skies loom grey and cold winds tear me apart but then the howling turns to rain, which means that you're still in my heart which I will feel again.
33: I get up and nothing gets me down. You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around. And I know, baby, just how you feel.
34: I was lost until you came. Tell you I was feeling so blue. Precious little angel, take a look at what you've done.
35: The girl's no trouble, the winds to blame. It blew to anytown USA, that's my middle name.
-36: Where'd you come from? Mississippi. And your parents? Very wealthy. Where are they now? 6 feet under.

And anyone who can manage to get any more than a couple gets a million points, cause wow, that was a random section of my music...

Wow, last night was interesting, and wonderful, and I'm not quite sure what to think...

Painkillers are great right up until the nausea kicks in.

Thu, 06 Dec 2007 05:26:01 GMT

Go to your journal's calendar view. Click on the first post you made in each month, and post the first line of it. That's your year in review!

January: So here was my day:

February: I slept for 16 hours last night/today.

March: SATs tomorrow, I forgot to tell Yowell I'm not going to be in choir, should be interesting if nothing else, I guess we'll see.

April: I got my SAT scores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (yay for not changing topic over a whole month!)

May: With a very small amount of studying completed and a song of the presidents running through my head, I go to bed feeling just the slightest bit nervous about this test in the morning.

June: I must be bipolar, or have ADD of the emotions or something.

July: I got a 5 on both my AP tests!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

August: Someone must explain to me why, after I spend the whole day being sore, my first instinct is to hop on the stationary bike, turn up the resistance a notch, and bike for a couple hours.

September: Wayne Gretzky is hot.

October: So, I had a lumbar vertebrae out of alignment, my hips were twisted some odd way they aren't supposed to be, and my neck was tighter than my chiropractor has ever seen.

November: We were reading about this at lunch today.....ridiculous...... (interesting article actually, or tragic, really)

December: It's wonderful to hear encouragement from people you didn't expect to hear it from.

Wow, it's been quite a year....

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 07:05:33 GMT

It's wonderful to hear encouragement from people you didn't expect to hear it from. It's nice to know that some people do think you're worth having around.

College Essays

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 04:56:14 GMT

I keep wanting to insert words in Spanish into my college essays because I think they say what I want to say much better than anything in English. Sr. would be so proud.

Unfortunately, these have to be in English, so maybe I should learn how to speak that with some skill.

Oh, and I get to work 22 hours next weekend, which means I get paid overtime. :)

Fri, 05 Oct 2007 05:43:36 GMT

Just in case anyone would like one, I have a rather large stack of senior portraits that my mother handed to me for the purpose of giving to anyone who wanted them. So, yeah, just let me know.

Mi espalda

Tue, 02 Oct 2007 03:07:19 GMT

So, I had a lumbar vertebrae out of alignment, my hips were twisted some odd way they aren't supposed to be, and my neck was tighter than my chiropractor has ever seen. She adjusted me and here's hoping that works and I don't have to go back in for more serious work.

Wed, 12 Sep 2007 06:19:43 GMT

I'm exhausted. "Why is she posting on lj then?" one might ask. I don't know, but I am, so accept it. I have a math test tomorrow that I didn't know existed. I can barely keep my eyes open and I don't understand a word of Spanish. I don't even want to think about the essay I have to write and the 4 books of the Odyssey I have to read tonight. And I want to do something for my birthday, but I haven't the faintest idea what nor do I have the time to figure out what. And there are more things than I can possibly begin to list that I have to do for Little Shop. And I swear to God, the next person who tells me I look tired or stressed will receive a tired and stressed slap across the face. Y fin. Es todo. No puedo pensar nada más.

Spring Awakening

Fri, 17 Aug 2007 03:00:42 GMT

Oh. My. God.

Amazing, fabulous, sexy, awkward (sat next to my mother, not recommended), perfect, catchy, and I so want to be in it. Amazing. I totally approve. I have the soundtrack, I'm in love with just about every boy in the cast. (Some of the girls too, but not in the same way, they were just amazing). Anyone who ever gets a chance to see it needs to, because it is amazing. We would never ever be able to so it at SHS though, waaaaaaaaaaaay too risque. But it's amazing. See it. Enough said.
