Yesterday, I was walking home with a friend from school, waving at the cars that honked as they went by, singing to the music, tripping each other, commenting on random things...and this moment happened.
Mallori: The sky is really clear today. Like, really clear.
Rosalind: Yeahh and it was super cloudy this morning. The sun evaporated all the clouds.
Today, in class we did a scene from Huckleberry Finn. We had our scripts on the table, and the window was open--and a BIG wind winded in, and blew them all over, and we couldn't figure out their order...so we improvised...and Mallori started stealing things and stuffing them down the front of her dress. I asked her a question and she turned around--and I choked. She had 2 differently sized apples and an orange in the front of her dress. I said, "What happened to you?" She said wildly, "I hit puberty....please, Mum, don't say nuthin', fer it's awful embar'sing for a poor gal like me, y'se." "Oh...well...take a cheer..." We sat--I stared at her...and said conversationally, "You know, usually people just start with two." ...She picked up some bread and asked me about the crime.
Two days ago, Mom and Dad were talking about someone Mary Beth is working with that has to look at Porn videos...I said, "But--isn't that illegal?" "Yes." "Then why--I mean, that's like stealing music...they're not paying for it!!"
Last night, our wonderful Young Women's leaders did a spa night for us...pedicures, ect. Very brave, I wouldn't have wanted to touch those girls' feet...especially in flip flop season...anyway. There was this one wax treatment for your feet--you dip your feet in a tub of hot wax 3 or 4 times and let it dry and peel it off.
...I was brave enough to try it.
...I have the greatest sympathy for those who have suffered through chinease torture.
It was so painful...and as i pulled my foot out...some of the wax got on the church carpet. and soaked into it. And dried. And will remain there forever.
Song That is Running Throughh Ma HEADD: Tension and the Terror by Straylight Run.
...give it a listen. good song...
...Tounge Tied, by Faber Drive, is pretty good too...so is Moment of Truth by FM Static, and Roses and Butterflies by Making April....
yeahh and tons of others, I have wayy too much music...OHH and Come On Get Higher by Matt Nathanson!!! Dont'cha Lovvee music!!??
....SOO life is going pretty good latley...I'm happy...School is extremely stressful, since...I have exams tomorrow and next week and then I have the week before all the REST of my exams and then the Normal School Exam week...blahh. I'm ready for my dance final--I choreographed a contmeporary dance to "Take Me As I Am" from Jekyll and Hyde, I did a paper on Ann Reinking and her carrer as a choreographer, I filled out 2 pages of notes on famous choreographers and steps and forms of dance and how they came to be...I know all the steps I'll be asked to do for the practical portion and I think I'll be o.k. in the audition combination...
What I need to do now is focus on getting my application for MTV turned in or Mulay will have my skin--Oh, i need pictures for that...and I need to memorize my monologue and turn in my song analysis to Corlyn and memorize my audition songs for my musical theater exam... ...and then I will read Alice In Wonderland, which was supposed to be done today, but I'll start it tomorrow, and I will memorize a few pages of it to recite next wedensday, and then I will relax for a few minutes before I start studying for my other exams...
...and try to catch up on 6 months worth of seminary reading....and take the final course of Drivers' ed and my driving test and start working 10 hour days and get ready for a bunch of trips.
I am so glad my life is so easy and relaxinggg...
...but hey, at least I have friends that I will hang out with someday when I am not busy, and sisters I can talk to someday when I am not insanely sleep deprived and grumpy....
...I need to get my priorities straightened out...
oh, opinions on the MTV production...should I do it? Is it worth the time and stress during school and the summer? Should I focus on school right now and worry about that stuff when I'm out of high school?? I really don't know what to do--where is my life goingg???!!! opinions, help, suggestions, PLEASE anything.
what is the MTV production? Sounds like you are having lots of fun! Good luck with exams.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've got no advice to give when I've no idea what you're doing. Except if it's the TV channel, stay away!
ReplyDeleteAnd actually, my coworkers have to buy the stuff in order to prosecute the purveyors. Or get the FBI to do it. It is really, really, really nasty stuff.
