2 AM and still writing...

40th Post! Whoa!
Has it been that many already! 10 more and that makes 50! wow...
oh jeez, i just proved to you that i can count! Surprise, Surprise right?

So right as i am typing these words it is 2:01 in the morning and frankly, i'm not really sleepy...
i've noticed i've been up really late this past week and in general....on school nights i try not to stay up too late...i usually got to bed at 11 or 12 the latest...usually 11 though... and on weekends...well the sky's the limit right?
Except with my new iPod i've kinda been staying up even later...
like for two days in a row i went to bed at around 4 in the morning and now im up at two writing this...

So i've been reading my friend R.C.'s blog The Shades of Black and White which is really just fabulous and you should really check it out...but anyways...i've been reading her blog and her posts have inspired me and given me and idea for something i want to start on this blog...

I'm thinking to write whatever comes to mind.... like i always do...but also have like a recurring thing...a motif, if you will.... at the end of each post...
i kinda wanna do like a: pick a star (music, movies, television, art, etc.) and like give their name, where they're born, "occupation", and like a silly/interesting/fun fact about them...
so i think im gonna try to put a suggestion box along my blog so that if you have a specific  person in mind...you can request it and ill probably do them on my next post....
so let's try it....
Here's Star of the Day... no that's too cheesy.... um um A Glimmering ...no that's just even worse im not even gonna finish that... ermm how about untitled for now and ill think of something later... XD

Classic Hollywood Poem

hi! so my friend inspired me to write this, and i didnt think i could, but i did, so here it is!

Classic Hollywood Poem
(not a creative title i know, but oh well)


In the land of glamour and dreams,
not everything is what it seems.
Where wild spirits roam,
filled with directors, artists, and emcees.

Where passion runs deep and untamed,
where secrets will always remain.
Rumors spread like the summer wildfires,
mostly started by jealousy and liars.

Overnight you become a star,
but for many, you only can get so far.
Furs, jewels, and perfumes will come pouring in,
mixed with suits, champagne and gin.

What a mystical place,
where everyone knows your face.
Your privacy vanishes,
your family, heart, and soul may not take the damages.

'It's the price of fame' they say,
when you're crying at night wishing it would all go away.
You find love and you fight for it,
you realize what you do is not just a skit.
You love what you do,
and that makes you realize you made it through.

You never gave up,
you didn't take a sip from the devil's cup.
You're on top of the world when you're on that stage,
the next morning you're on the newspaper's front page.

You feel complete when you're holding that golden statuette,
this will be a night you'll never forget.

In that city where spotlights and flashes are all you can see,
that city you want to run from, but never really flee.
You will always be remembered for who you are or what you did,
you can bet your bottom dollar on that kid.

That city will keep the future entranced,
of the days of black and white comedy, drama, and song and dance.

The mysticism and romance behind Hollywood,
is something that can never be understood.

For the land of black and white,
I'd put up a fight and plea,
to be there tonight,
and never leave.

It's Just Wonderful...

So yes, today was the assembly! and yes! i had a blast!
okay lets start from the beginning!

So I've been having this on and off again cold thing which is really just a cough and it kinda came back and now its just annoying and i was coughing yesterday during rehearsal and i was so scared id cough today during the run....but thankfully my chest and lungs agreed with me and decided to not let me cough a lot onstage! :)

Anyways, so i haven't been feeling my best, but that's okay...because we got to school at like 7:10ish which is really, REALLY early for me, but whatever...We did a run through, and i was just nervous for that...but we got through it pretty well...the chair flip things we do from our Tell-Tale Heart scene weren't coming out that well when we were rehearsing so i was kinda nervous about that.

Our school does assemblies kind of weird...well i think its weird... since they're usually on Wednesdays, its usually minimum day, which means we get out at 1:03 instead of our regular 3:00pm.So how our school does it is that you go see the assembly with your third period teacher. You either have first assembly or second assembly. That means because we have so many people at our school, about 2,000+ you cant all fit into our auditorium at the same time, you have to do it separately. So the whole day is 20 minute classes with your third period being like an hour and something so that you can go see the assembly. Which i mean is fine by me, but having to perform twice was kind of bad... i got nervous more for the second assembly though, because i knew a lot of people who go as the audience in second assembly because that's when my teacher takes us.

Well we got through it!!! PERFECTLY! IT WAS GREAT! so exhilarating! Everyone else in the other departments (dance, music, art, film) they did great too! And so after the assembly people were telling us like "oh you did great" and stuff like that and that made me happy, but what made me the happiest was that on my way to my last class, i stopped by my Spanish teacher's room because i wanted to say hi and see what i had missed from class and my old Spanish teacher from last year was there too and so it was nice to talk to both of them. That made my day, talking to them, because they're like "wow you were great!" and stuff like that and i was like "oh thank you" but what made me happy was that my teacher said something along the lines of "oh yeah, your performance (the skit) was probably my favorite part of the assembly" and my old Spanish teacher agreed with him and my teacher was saying that we did a good job with the chair flips and my old Spanish teacher said that it looked very well rehearsed and very well put together and i told them that we made it to finals with that scene at a theater competition and they were very impressed and it just made me happy. OH YEAH! this was all going on in Spanish of course! XD Also, i found it funny, that two guy teachers were talking together...no not talking...GOSSIPING about their students..which i found hilarious! but that's okay, because they're fetch enough to do it! XD

now...off to do my homework...
