Laina

I hate school. I don't have the Screwtape Letters with me, so now I can't write the fucking rough draft of the essay for English that's due tomorrow. Damnit!

I've already screwed up in that class... don't feel like having it happen again. GAHH.

*stabs English in the face*

So... yesterday was Brooke's birthday celebration ma-bob. And it was exciting. I don't care if everyone else had as much fun, I did. And I'm happy about it.

I met up with Latina at 1 and we walked around in the mall looking for presents. I couldn't find anything that I knew she'd love, so I just bought her a sarcastic card and told her that I'd take her shopping and buy her shit. Quality time with Laina, what better gift could there be?
So... we met up with Vicky at Five Guy's and waited for Brooke and Chris to get there. They ate. I munched on fries. Yumyum. After a bit we headed over to Funland for laser tag. Goodie.
And then Jacy was there!
And then Colin was there!

And then we played and I kicked ass. Which was great, because I loved the fact that Chris was being a jerk and I was amazing. Bwahaha. I love competing with people. ^_^

I want to hang out with that group again. It was fun. Although Colin was unentertaining... due to bad mood.



I have a lot of energy tonight. And nothing to do to get it all out. *sigh*

My moment of the week?
Seeing the Mr. and Mrs. Ferg in the mall and having them ask where Victoria's Secret was. It really made my day.

I'm going to KD on Wednesday.
I'm seeing Spamalot next Wednesday.
I'm leaving for Slovakia next Thursday.

Yep. That's about it.

I got a pretty new car! *huggles car* It's my new blue 2006 Hyundai Elantra. And it makes me happy.

I saw Suki and Kennan today for awhile. It was interesting. And then I drove around Lee's Hill for awhile just because I could. Woohooooohoteowatoetoet.

I have energy! I want a donut! ^_^

Well... Here's a quick little list of things that have happened since the last entry.

Related to the Play: Practice has... not been going very well. John doesn't know his lines... Travis doesn't know his lines... and it pisses me off. Other people have the excuse that they were sick for a week or two, but they were okay the entire time. SO WHAT THE HECK?!?!?! Really now. I don't understand this casting... I really don't. On a better note, Imad is doing very well and I'm proud of him. This whole play thing has made us close friends again. We sorta just stopped talking over the past 2 years because we didn't have many (if any) classes together. I remember when he had a crush on me for maybe 4 days back in middle school. It was amusing.

Related to Friends: Bethany and I have been doing everything together lately, usually with Dave and/or Colin in tow. Colin's suddenly actually trying to keep a relationship with me by actually calling and such. I remember the days when I could count on one hand the number of times he called me. And I'm not even kidding. Haha... I'll bet anything when he finds a new girlfriend he's going to go back to ignoring me. But, oh well... his loss. At least when I'm mean to him and abuse him I'm not serious. Well... not completely. *cough* Anyway, most days after practice Bethany and I and various other people go to dinner and other things... It's a lot of fun. I love being out and away from home.

Related to Madison: We spent a whole night on the phone coming up with an idea for a movie that I could make... and of course, that movie idea was based on City of Heroes. It's interesting how we can both incorporate our favorite things into one conversation! Yep. I love my Madison. <3



Okay. I feel like that's enough of an update for now. Yep.

So... I didn't get the part I wanted.

At first, I was really upset about it, because in the auditions I NAILED the part. I did a wonderful job. I went home expecting to see my name next to Juliet on the cast list. When I went in the next day, I was shocked. I could see no reason for it... there was nothing I had done wrong. Nobody had done a better job at auditions then I had. And I'm not one to think of myself better then others, but I knew it was true this time. I couldn't deal with being at school all day, so I went home. I felt like this was just another example of how I always try so hard to achieve goals, and I never get them.
I was so disappointed and so discouraged. I felt like I really didn't even want to be a part of the play anymore. I even began to wonder if this was the right path for me. Was acting just not meant for me anymore?
James called me at lunch to check up on me, and told me that Mrs. Barham had really wanted to cast me, and felt terrible that she couldn't because I didn't have the right image. That gave me mixed feelings too, because I knew then that I hadn't done anything wrong other than looking too mature. But then again, I felt like if she had really wanted to give me the part that bad then she would have and just have made me look younger with makeup and such.

But anyway... I went in on Thursday and had a conversation with Mrs. Barham. She told me what James had said, that part of it was that I looked too mature and too wise to play Juliet, but she also said that part of it was that I could have played any part, while Bethany couldn't have. She would rather have a pretty good lead backed with good supporting too, rather then have an amazing lead and not so amazing supports. I had already felt better that day about it, but after the conversation with her, I realized how much I'm respected and appreciated as an actress by her and the rest of the drama department. Sure, not everyone in the entire school notices my talent, because they only focus on whoever has the lead and think that everyone else wasn't good enough to be the lead. But that's okay, because I'd rather be recognized and acknowledged by people who actually know what they're talking about!


This is just another example of how everything happens for a reason, whether you know it at first or not. And I love being able to say that.

AHHHFOEWHGPEWIJPEOFihewapogij!!!!!!!!!

 

Auditions are tomorrow... and I just want them to get here so I can stop worrying about it.  I've been working so hard to get this, and I can't stand getting let down again.  The whole week was a big discouragement... everyone seemed to come up to me and ask, "Who's going to be Romeo?  Who's going to be Juliet?!"  And I just wanted to punch every single one of them.  Except for Tabitha, because she's way too nice for me to get mad at.  Haha.  But everyone else, yeah.  I wanted them to just shut their faces and shove themselves into a box that I could kick into a closet somewhere.  Nice description, huh?  I thought so.

Here's the lovely language of Chinajadese, or Chinajadenese... whichever you prefer.

(Orange = Casey words, pink = Laina words)


Chiiina Jade! Ch-ch-china jaade.
Translation: I want the all you can eat buffet.

Translation: Get more crablegs before I rip your face off.

Ch---ch---CHINA!-- CHINA CHINA! C H I N A! Chi-n-a... Jade... Ahh...
(Orgasmic nonsense)

Heh-heh, China jade, Chi-na jade! Heh.
Translation: Hehheh, those dumplings taste like my ass. Heh.

Chiinaaaa... jade... heh.
Translation: Your ass tastes pretty good then. Heh.

China Jade.
Translation: Please excuse me from the table, I have farted. Also, do you have any chopsticks, please?

Chinnnnnaaa... Ch-Ch-Jade! Jade jade China! Jaaaaaade. Chinaaaaa! Chinajade!
Translation: Thank you!

China China China jaade jade jade jade jade jade. China Chiii-hi-na Chi-jade-na jade china sombrero.
Translation: Oops.

Chiiiiiinaaaaaaa. Grr...
Translation: I cannot wait! Grr...

China Jade?
Translation: Where is your bathroom with the numerous rolls of toilet paper located?

Chi.
Translation: Why do you stare at me so? Have I offended your honor, you buddah fucking, rice fucking, wall-building octopus sucking mongoose humper?

Na.
Translation: You smell of rotten crab rangoon.

China China jade.
Translation: Bryant Andrews likes naked men.

(sick sounding) Jaaaade. China Jade....
Translation: That makes me want to puke all over you General Tso's Chicken.

China jaaa-ade!
Translation: Not my General Tso's!

Hahaha... Jade.
Translation: Hahaha.. only kidding you poor pathetic person!

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by

Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

So... guess what.  I'm updating!  And you'd better read this and comment on it, since I never post anymore.  Myspace has taken over my life.  -__-

So, last Sunday, I SAW LIZ!   She wasn't expecting me to come, and she, in her words, nearly had a heart attack when she saw me.  Apparently she should be home sometime between April - July.  I can't wait.  I miss her.  And if she so much comes close to getting in this same situation EVER again, I won't allow it!  Once she's back, I'm making her stay.  *sigh*  That's wishful, I guess though.  I can't really do anything except encourage and fill up her time.  But if that's all I can do, I will.

I'm so excited for the rest of the year!  And the excitement is actually helping me get homework done and pay attention in school.  THE PLAY IS COMING SOON!   It's going to be amazing.  You all had better come see it, or else.

Today was my last day of work until after the play is done.  No more chicken!   =D

Ooh.  And tomorrow, Bethany, Suki, Ashley and I make musica.  Exciting!  I hope we get good enough to play somewhere soon.  That one open mic night a long time ago just was not enough.  And we had to have Suki's and my guitar teacher play bass for us, and now we don't have to worry about that.  We should probably get Latina or someone to play keyboard for us... for added effect.  That would be nice.  I wanna record a CD!  It would be wonderous.  And once I get my new fantabulous video camera, we could make music videos!   *spaz*  Okay... I'm done with that for now.

 

You know something else?  Yesterday was CHINA JADE DAY!  I think it's going to become a tradition.  Until we get banned for being obnoxious.  I still have the language Casey and I made in study hall.  I need to copy it on here so you can see how we entertain ourselves.  Heh.

 

That is all for now. Wheeeee.

I'm happy.

There's a possibility that Liz will be coming home sometime in the near future.

I felt that this deserved to be mentioned.

I am watching the REMAKE of The Shining. That's right. No Jack Nicholson. No bad acting. No freezing over at the end. But there are hedge animals (not a MAZE, but animals), explosions, and in general good things that follow the book. I'm so happy. I love the story, and I'm so glad that it's finally in a tolerable motion picture format.

Yay! ^_^

Now I just have to never return the copy to Blockbuster. Because it's MINE now! Mwahaha.

Yay for The Overlook and it's creepyness. Yay for over-sized mallets. Yay for attacking hedge animals. Yay for the wasps nest. Yay for room 217 and the Presidential Suite. ^_^!!!!


I'm so happy. Yes I am. ^_^





(It's kinda sad that I'm so overjoyed by this.)

So. I'm bored right now. And I haven't updated in awhile, so I probably should now.

It's currently study hall and I am sitting with Ozzy who is looking at the Death Clock. But the computer won't allow the pop-up window. Oh dear.

I love Madison.
I love Katy. (because she's here today)
I love April.
I love Bethany.
I love Suki.
I enjoy Ozzy's company.
I don't like Apologetics class.
I loathe entirely those who lack common sense and are stupid.

I love other people too that I'm not going to name because the period is over.

Some little snippets of favorite lyrics from new System of a Down songs. ^_^

Dreaming
You went beyond
And you lost it all
Why did you go there?
From beyond you saw it all
Why did you go there?

She lost her mind
Someone kicked her into the back of the line
She lost her head
When they called and they said that they thought he was dead

Dreaming of screaming
Someone kick me out of my mind
I hate these thoughts I can’t deny
Dreaming of screaming
Someone kick me out of my mind
I hate these thoughts I can’t deny...


Vicinity of Obscenity
Banana banana banana banana terrecotta banana terrecotta terrecotta pie!
Banana banana banana banana terrecotta banana terrecotta terrecotta pie!
Do we all learn defeat from the whores with bad feet
Beat the meat (beat the meat), treat the feet
To the sweet, milky seat...


Tentative
Oh, tell us where you're going to the bottom
Do you hear us we are rotting?
We're going down in a spiral to the ground
No one, no one's gonna save us now, not even God!
No one saved us, no one's gonna save us

Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?


Soldier Side
Dead men lying on the heart of the grave
Wondering when savior comes, if he is gonna be saved
Maybe you’re a sinner and to your turn in life
Maybe you’re a joker, maybe you deserve to die

They were crying when their sons left
God is wearing black
He’s gone so far to find no hope
He’s never coming back

They were crying when their sons left
All your men must go
He’s come so far to find no truth
He’s never going home

Young men standing on the top of their own grave
Wondering when Jesus comes, are they gonna be saved
Holy to the little bishop, tells the king his lies
Maybe you’re a mourner, maybe you deserve to die

They were crying when their sons left
God is wearing black
He’s gone so far to find no hope
He’s never coming back

They were crying when their sons left
All your men must go
He’s come so far to find no truth
He’s never going home

Welcome to the soldier side
Where there is no one here but me
People all grow up to die
There is no one here but me

Welcome to the soldier side
There is no one here but me
People on the soldier side
There is no one here but me
