Shifting Destiny and Other Endeavors

Last night was the choir concert. Yeah, i was nervous, and no one at my house knew how to tie a tie to save their lives, but i was fine with it. I was looking every so spiffy with my newly acquired Goodwill clothes from the weekend before, and i was ready to do some business.

We got there a few minutes before call time. We went to the choir room, signed in, and waited for others to arrive. When they finally did, we warmed up, ran through our songs, and sat down in the theatre and waited for the show to begin. People came up, said things, and we started off.

Our first set was the African folk songs set. A couple songs after, the Hilhi Singers (including me) went up and did ours. Twas nice. Song there, song here, then our first mass choir song. I think it was our best by far.

Next was "Songs of the Heart". Which included my least favorite song, "You'll Be in My Heart." Yes, from Tarzan. Why was it my least fave? It was hard on my voice, and it almost hurt.

Well, we did that ruthless number, and Encore did "Peanut Butter and Jelly." Which was an awesome song. If you get the chance to hear it, please do. Awesome.

Finally, our opera choruses. Which included "the hammer song", in which members of Encore would hit things with hammers. Apparently, two of the guys who were supposed to hit something couldn't find what they were supposed to hit. Here's how the conversation went down, according to one of the party in question.

"We can't find the thing! Ben, what do we do?"
"Hit me in the head."

And so he did.

We closed with Va Pensiero, which was another mass piece. Twas also nice. After that, we were free to go, and we went. Got home, watched The Office, which was pretty nice, and pretty pretty, too.

After that i torrented Under the Blackight by Rilo Kiley. I've heard all of it, and it is pretty good. And i've just realized that Silver Lining is an amazing song.

So, the homecoming game is tonight. I'm very happy for that. The only downside? I might be too tired to watch Austin City Limits tonight. With THE DECEMBERISTS and Explosions in the Sky. I might be too tired, and this makes me sad.

Well, whatever, i'm recording it and keeping it forever anyway, so...

Sans Robe

The choir concert is tomorrow. Because i'm in measly Hilhi Singers, i don't get a precious robe.

I had to get clothes from Goodwill last weekend. I succeeded. It was quite nice.

So, i've been getting back into torrenting. So far, last weekend, i got the soundtrack to Across the Universe. And just last night, the first two Architecture in Helsinki abums. I've started listening to In Case We Die first. It's good times, from what i've heard. The third came out yesterday. Must get it.

Homecoming game Friday!

No school Friday!

I'll give you a report on the concert on Friday! Maybe.

1) "Why are your folders so crappy?"
"Because we're stupid."
"Uh...I concur."

My Favorite Office Season 3 Moment

Seeing Things/I Lied

The new Fall TV season has started, and i'm giving rating of what i've seen so far.

Chuck:
A computer nerd accidentally discovers all of the government's secrets. Very entertaining and funny. B+

Reaper:
A young man finds his parents sold his soul to the devil when he was a baby. Now he has to work for him by sending escaped sould back to Hell. A-

Kid Nation:
Kids rule a small town. Some people are brats, and the host is an ubercreep. But still enjoyable. B-

Pushing Daisies:
A man has the ability to touch a dead thing and bring it back to life. The best so far. After only one episode. A

Blah blah, i think that's it.

PS> I lied. I have things to talk about.

Me and my friend have written a song. We've sung it in one of classes and at lunch a few times. And i've herard people singing it throughout school. Our intention is to record it in audio and maybe video form, and put it on Myspace/Youtube. It will sell billions o'dollas.

1) "And he was like, "Thanks for thinking about me." And i was like, "You're welcooooome!"

- Liz (wow)

Baby Seals

Clubs weren't today. Boo.

We have no school tomorrow. Yay.

I think i'm seeing Across the Universe tomorrow. Yayay.

Sleeping in. Yayay.

The Ofice is on tonight. Yayayayayay.

So is 30 Rock. Yayayay.

That's all i have to say. Boo(?)

We're Just a Bunch of Crazy...

Guys and Dolls.

Which is the musical we're doing next trimester. And the musical i'm going to audition for at the end of the month. I need to watch the movie or something, so i have some idea at least how to sing the music i've recieved. It will probably be awesome, if me and all the people i know get in. 'Twill be a treat indeed.

1) "What is this? What's happened to the house? I don't like change!"

- Family Guy

2) currently listening to: Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia by The Dandy Warhols

In The Wake of Saturday

Wow, two titles in a row related to Fall Out Boy songs? This doesn't look that good.

Well, i woke up today, and i just wanted to stay in bed all day, and not talk. To anybody. Reminiscent of Eric from That 70's Show when he broke up with Donna. Remember that? Anyway, i was just feeling like that. I didn't break up with anybody though, so that's good i guess.

Well i got up again after eating breakfast. I woke up to find my mom and sister looking at online offers on phones.

So, i'm getting a new phone officially. It's only a matter of time. So...yay.

I'm getting the SCP-3200 by Sanyo in black. It looks decent. Does anyone know if it sucks or not? Cuz that would be a good help, if i were told.

Anyway again, i guess nothing's going on this weekend. I'm feeling okay now, that might change, but nobody knows.

Blah.

1) "Do you believe in reincarnation?"
"Hell no. Our planet is the children's problem. If we reincarnate, it's our problem."

Which Came First? The Music or the Misery?

Alot, and i when i say alot, i really do mean alot, has gone on in the past few days. But i don't want to talk about it. That's why i haven't been posting in a few days.

I just don't want to talk about it. Don't ask me about it, i won't respnd.

Sometimes i get sick of myself, when i'm hiding behind this veneer of happiness, when i'm feeling awful inside. I make people think i'm fine, but i'm really not. I guess that's why i'm probably going to remain the kind of person who'll only have girls as friends and not more, because only a few people know i'm capable of real emotion.

I don't know whay i'm feeling this way. Or maybe i do, and i'm just not saying it. I can't really explain what i'm feeling. Sad is definitely on the list. I'm not feeling hrt, or angry or anything. I guess it's just an empty feeling. There's something missing in my life. And it seems like i'm going to wait for a long time before whatever's missing gets found.

Alright, i think i'm done being emo. With me, it's that whenever i write what i'm feeling, it goes away. I hope it works this time.
