oh but if it doesn't...



I'd like to inform you all that it is no longer November, i failed nanowrimo, and its been more than a month since i last acknowledge you. while i do sort of feel bad im hiding my shame; what good is shame if you cant do anything with it?
important topics now? why yes!
  1. the play
  2. chirstmas
  3. school
  4. everything else in the world that is far more important than this blog.

  1. the play
this turn out very well, several nights we were sold out. the gist of it is: seventh graders, tombstones scary ghosts, surprising papa, card games, and snuggies. overall it was extremely succesful even if over the week i had nine soccer games!
2. christmas

is soon!! ahh! its like the day after tomorrow, im pretty excited! i am such a fan of the holidays, no school, and its winter- one of my furrrrravourite seasons. to be fair i love every season but if i had to choose...
one of the reasons i love christmas is due to santa. one part of my childhood that will never die with my age is the miracle of santa. <33 style="font-weight: bold;">the best part of- what ever day is today: being able to wake up almsot when ever i want.

the worst part of- what ever day is today: mother waking me up...

songs i know on guitar:1... string is still DEAD.

want: my string fixed
the video camera i want
sony vegas
my phone back
a good light so that i can correctly use my lightbox.




here's a quote:

and here is your video.

have some happy holidays!

annoyances, new moon, and theatre!

so the reason for my not posting since monday is because i didn't want to give any one the illusion that i was going to post every day. while i could have posted on Thursday during third (computer apps) it just felt too expected. also i wouldn't really be blogging about anything because the only things that happened where after school, and today.
the things i need to tell you:
  • the glass menagerie
  • during drama
  • soccer
  • the play
  • twilight/new moon
so i think that is it.
LETSGETSTARTED!

  1. the glass menagerie
we are reading it for English, yes it is a play therefor parts are "assigned" by who ever wants to read. the people who read for the three characters in my class (for now) were: Eddie, Audrey, and Stacy. Eddie did a lot better job than i actually thought he was going to do; he did impress me a little. Audrey did okay, with training she could be a drama student, well not really but could pull off a few plays. Stacy can read aloud well, though for her character (Laura) all she really did was raise her voice an octave or two, sadly she cant guess the emotion just from the line, which tells me she doesn't read in the way the author does. i want the part she has, or Audrey's i could read either of them well. i feel bad saying that. i want to say its true, though it may not even be true.

2. during drama
theres this guy. no i dont like him, nor do i think he is cute- trust me that is saying something. he is dead annoying. well, we have six classes together, so natrually he thinks i "get into every conversation that he has" which really isn't true. HE CHOSE TO SIT LIKE ALMOST BY ME IN EVERY CLASS. i got there first and/or had friends by where i chose- thus he then chose after i did. RIGHT NEXT/ NEAR ME. RANDFKLGHALNDKLGJEISGJDSVNJFSIOW. well in drama today, we practice in the black box (because that is where our play will be at.) so we had to clean out our so to speak prop/changing room. i was bending down rearrainging papers, play bills, scripts, and play books. this particular guy was right above me. i'm going to take right here to tell you that he had a stroke when he was very young so he wears a brace and has almsot no movement in his left arm; im also going to tell you that that is not the reason i dont like him. my mother also had a stroke almost thirteen years ago, so im used to her; though this guy he sort of milks it. as in asking for help in EVERYTHING and WANTING special treatment. right back to where i was, he was over me arranging OCR'S (original cast recordings- AKA cd's of musicals.) and other CD's. all i heard was noise, and i had no idea what was going on, and to throw back again RIGHT OVER ME. no way in hell did i want stuff to fall on me, so with out looking up i ask what he's doing, he gives me a snotty answer, and i ask again. almost the same answer. i finally blow up a little and say that i have no idea what he is doing and i would like to know before anything falls on me, because honestly it could have been anything, and i already have neck problems. so he finally tells me that he is arranging the CD's. fast fowards like seven minutes. i am trying to move a stack of papers over to where i put the other ones, which is right in front of his legs making where he is standing the only place i can get to it. i say "excuse me, NAME" he answers rudely with why?! being me and alreayd annoyed i say in a you are such an ass, get out of my way voice "because i need to put these papers where i put the others so if you would move now." now, was said VERY sharply. in the end he finally did move. and my scenes were good and i am finally off book. THE PLAY IS IN TEN DAYS. :O

3. the play
its in ten days. we are doing a christmas carol- im excited!
4. twilight/ new moon.
i saw both back to back at the theatre last night. i still hated twilight but here are my new moon thoughts. i didn't go into detail though....
well, im still not one for the plot but it was a lot better, bella didn't look sickly, though she still has no emtion, the vulturi was done well, i love dakota fanning (loved her in uptoan girls too) the wolves didn't look like wolves. i liked the camera not being so shaky, it was more like a movie instead of a film project; so my feelings towards it are good.

obviously i need to look at it in a film critiq way and not a movie goer way, even with the former way i cant look at the plot, i just hate it too much!


im going to leave you at that, honestly im too tired to include to you the bolded stuff from last blog except video of the day/ video you need to watch.
video of the day/video you need to watch.

yeah its short (the video. heh- not the blog!)

let the insanity insue.

two fake bells have rang. and i am now in my computer applications class, seeing as i missed Thursday (all we did was watch up, and i missed that class period so im coming into the middle of a movie i have never seen . . . doesn't that just make your day?) im just going to blog instead.
i have no idea where i left off, but i do realize that i just love my name "Overusing Sparkles" its such a teenage girl thing! and completely almost un-me. im not your average teenage girl, being a nerd does in no way qualify me for average teenage girl. sixteen years to be exact. they are all obsessed with . . . not musicals, not harry potter, not nerdiness, not computer stuff . . . they also love drama, having sex, worrying about the guy they just had sex with because he is as immature as a toddler, though worse because while a toddler does find everything funny the boy you just slept with goes around sleeping with the rest of the sixteen year old girl clan; he is just an idiot and thinks you don't have a clue (let's face it- half the time they don't.)
i hate missing part of a movie i have never seen, because then i don't find the jokes funny because i haven't seen the beginning unless i only miss a little beginning, see right there. that was a "funny" part and i didn't understand it at all, it doesn't help that i can hardly understand the little boy either. oh well, i guess i will just have to illegally watch it any way :/
so i follow Maureen Johnson on twitter and i hear that today is the day; yes. the trapeze day! i vaguely remember when she made the trapeze promise, but i do remember that she is beyond scared, and i can not wait until i see the video, it may make me want to go trapezing- minus the fact that mother wont let me; she only likes run of the mill things. so she wont let me fence, and will no longer let me take ballet; but that is all besides the point (you may be asking "you had a point!?").
the movie that i only caught the end of is finishing, and i look like a heartless bitch for not laughing, not to mention the fact that we have a half hour left in class. of course right when i don't want it begins to get cold- OF COURSE. i am sorry that i am behaving like Garfield on a monday :/ in my defense- it IS a monday. I FEEL USELESS FOR NEVER SEEING THIS MOVIE BEFORE, AND MISSING IT ALL OVER. garg. fine. we are watching a "short" about storks?
as a child i don't think i was ever curious about where babies come from (after all i never got "the talk") my parents i guess just let me find out for myself, and honestly i rather prefer it; now i am able to have and decipher my own opinions; i like it better that way, because there is no awkward conversation, and no awkward period of time after; in turn i can find out everything i want, or need to know from the internet (no matter how unreliable it is, it is just as reliable!)
alright. the first of a few last things to discuss.

the best part about a monday: the final bell warning us to flee the premise. ending the horrid day of a school day monday.

the worst part about a monday: the six fake final bells in the day- teasing me that the day isn't over.

songs i know on guitar: 1

wants: sony vegas
cheez-its
my math quiz back
vegetarian chipotle burrito.
finishing my nanowrimo . . .

All the cool kids are doing it...

No, No. i assure you the cool kids have not picked up the font and composition box of the blogging sites, though would some count the Myspace as a "blog" if so... well no we wont worry about that; we'll just say that they are not blogging. though what i did mean by "all the cool kids are doing it" i meant: simply that the "new in thing" to do is to stay up until four in the morning. while they may not be writing a blog at this time, i regret to tell you that: i am.
You may be saying "u shuld b aslep" or something just as awful as that- now see here, i regret to inform you that i am indeed a sixteen year old girl. Yes, that means i care about my weight, hair, makeup, look, clothing, and i have a messed up sleeping pattern. i should mention that teenagers all across America are waking up to want to go back to sleep, but instead are facing the miseries known only as the monday.
The monday is the worst day of the week, it begins the week which is very long and full of drama, classes, school work, after school programs, and blogging, or video blogging. For some the monday also includes all seven of seven classes, forcing the sadly forced participant to schlep through forty minutes in each forsaken classroom when they'd rather be at lunch or doing something that wasn't as Godawful as school with their friends.
while i would like to tell you all that i do not partake in the hating of the monday, i have to admit that i am in fact the leader of the hating; i can't even bring myself to capitalize monday! it's just sitting there growing jealous of every other day of the week, showed in their full glory.
now now, don't beat up on me. this blog is very short as of now, but at least my words are correct and i do have school to be attending in a matter of a few hours. so i may as well leave you with something though i don't even know what seeing as i'm begining to misspell words left and right!
here's a song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ8ViYIeH04
(i am sorry for that. but it is one of my favourites.)
