It's Been A While

I really haven't had anything to write about in a while. Mock Trial was taking over my life, but it's over now. We had our competition on February 23. I was really nervous for the first match, but after that I was okay. I did a British accent for my character and I actually won an Outstanding Witness award for the first round. Second round went well and FPD made it to the final round with Central who had won it 9 years in a row. They were really good! I met Ekene Agu, who is friends with my friends from church, and she was really nice. We lost, but they deserved it. They were awesome and VERY intimidating lol. One of their teammates looked like Mac from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. I wanted to tell him, but I never got the chance to. :(

Fiddler on the Roof is going okay. We started rehearsing with the actors last week. The first night was HORRIBLE. But the next night was muuuuch better. The music isn't too hard. It's very Jewish sounding, which is the whole show, but still. So there are lots of accidentals in the music and weird phrasing. But it's coming together nicely.

I finished reading The Other Boleyn Girl on Saturday so I could see the movie. The movie was AWFUL. Did not follow the book hardly at all. But Jim Sturgess was SO cute in it! I fell in love with him from Across The Universe as Jude. :) He has another movie coming out soon called 21 and it has Kevin Spacey in it too. I love Kevin! Oh, and since I'm done with that book, I started reading a Jimi Hendrix biography. It's really good so far. Jimi's about 14 years old and has his first guitar! Aw yeah!

I started making a 1960's collage last night when I was mad at my step-mom. I had an old Rolling Stone magazine that talked all about the Summer of Love (1967) and I started cutting stuff out and kind of piecing it together. It's got Bob Dylan, The Doors, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix. There's also a huge Beatles thing that'll hopefully look cool.

We have a HUGE English research paper due at the end of this month. I chose to write about the shadow of the soul and the duality of man using Heart Of Darkness, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, and Fight Club. In theory, it should be an awesome topic and an interesting paper. But the only thing that stands in the way of that is me actually typing it into a comprehensible paper lol. We're going to the Mercer library tomorrow all day to research in there. I get to miss school ALL day Tuesday for that and all day Thursday for a band competition. What really sucks though about Thursday is that I have a Psychology test and a Calculus quiz that day. So I'll have to make those up.

My mom bought my Bonnaroo tickets while I was on my ski trip in February! I'll have a different post for the ski trip. Well, not about the ski trip, but what happened after the ski trip. Our youth pastor went psycho, but like I said... that's another post. Along with information about some other things that are REALLY ticking me off lol. ANYWHO... Bonnaroo is going to own my soul. Jose Gonzalez! :) And more artists are being added! Woooo!

I saw Gone Baby Gone and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford on Saturday. I had a Casey Affleck mini-marathon. I love that guy! Both those movies ROCKED. I need to buy those, and No Country For Old Men, Sweeney Todd, There Will Be Blood, and I want to see Into The Wild really bad.

So many movies!!!
