In a play

Again. It's called Folk Tales From Around the World. It's one of those plays that one does for school groups. I was hesitant about it during the first week of rehearsal (...and crying off and on with a mix of uncontrollable swearing...), but everything is so much better this week. My change of attitude is a huge factor in this, I'm sure.

...Yeah, I'm really, really tired. Though it makes things easier, a better attitude really doesn't cure the exhaustion from daily play practices.

I would talk to Andrea right now and enjoy some fun "socializing" time to unwind, but for some reason, SHE AIN'T ON. C'mon, it's like, what? 5:00 PM in Georgia? Surely she's back from school by now...and band...

Unless there's a game tonight. Damn sports. Rawr. I'm so infuriated, can't you tell? I'm just brimming with anger. My aura is flaring with hostility. Etc, etc, etc.

I guess, while I'm waiting for her I should work on the rewriting bits of my story, SyU. Yes, I'm going to continue to call it by it's abbreviation. It's such a clever title, all the cool kids are going to want to yank it from me. 'Cause I'm so sexy that I can come up with coolerific titles.

I suppose I'm in a good mood, because I've been filling this post with sarcasm.

Speaking of filling, I've been eating deviled eggs like crazy for the past couple of weeks. I don't know why, either, since I used to positively despise those things. Change of heart, I suppose.

...It's a sad thing when I write "change of heart" and I can't help myself from thinking of Yu-Gi-Oh. Supreme nerd, here. Please, no autographs. I might get ink all over my clean clothes.

Well, I better wrap up this meaningful yet meaningless entry, because the female parental unit wishes to discourse with me. (I guess another sign that I'm in a good mood is the fact that I've been blatantly using "big words" throughout my post so I feel smart. Harharhar, how clever am I.)

Tim: Uh, don't bother giving me spoilers. I'm getting the game soon, and if I was really dying to find out the ending, I could go to practically any Nintendo fan forum. Thanks for the offer, though.

Not going to L.A.

Apparently, the travel ticket thingys don't include an option for LA. Though there is a stupid cruise that is in L.A. or something, I have no interest in that. Oh well.

I still hope I can go to L.A. before I go to college. That would be a nice trip.

Tim, you guess correctly. Richard Horvitz is, in fact, in the MoHos. I'm becoming a bit too obvious, I think.

SPEAKING OF RICHARD HORVITZ:

I've talked to both Arielle and Hannah about going to see Hard Four when it comes out. If I could actually learn when it's being released in November, that would be helpful, but it's still a couple of months off so I'm not going to complain quite yet.

...And still speaking of Richard:

Over the past two nights, I've watched the new Squirrel Boy episodes that have been airing on Cartoon Network. They're good. Much, much better than some of the earliest episodes. If the show's starting to get good like this, it's a real shame if it's been canceled. I wonder if the series' life is hanging on it's ratings from this week.

On some other notes, tomorrow I'm performing in Madison, doing the Wizard of Oz: Unplugged again. I hope it works out, since we're having some fill-ins for a couple of the roles. It's a real shame that Jackie couldn't be there, because she's a great witch. I'm proud to say that I'm one of her apprentices.

Folk Tales from Around the World should work out, too, since I've finally gotten over my personal issues with the director. I think I was mostly thrown off because I was intimidated by her level of experience and, well, my lack of it. This is something that I know is not her fault. My reactions are my own problem.

I'm really excited that I'm getting Twilight Princess this week. It's going to be fabulous!

I was told to blog more.

So I'll try. Prepare yourself for random meanderings.

Well, I'm actually sick with a cold. Sucks to be me. If you pity me, please send money and cute boys to [address removed]. Last night, I had a 101.0 F fever. It's even more serious because when I'm healthy, I tend to be below 98.6 F...I'm feeling better today, however. Thank God I actually slept last night.

To say this next thing, I'll have to give a little back story:

About a week ago or so, I got a random phone call on my cell phone. It was a prerecorded message saying that a travel agency in [insert name of my town here] was opening soon.

It rattled off saying that if you attended a presentation of theirs, you would get two free tickets to L.A., Orlando, and some other place I forgot.

I kept listening only because they say one could get two free tickets, no strings-attached. I was hooked at the mention of L.A.

Once they got to qualifications, I started asking my mom questions. I knew my parents were married and between the ages of 25 and 70. However, I didn't know if they made a combined income of $40,000 a year. Apparently, my parents completely qualified.

In retrospect, I wish I intially told Mom more of what was going on, but I didn't. I handed my phone to her once it asked for the person's first and last name, with the last name being spelled out. I mean, I couldn't have done it, considering I failed to meet all three of the required criteria I listed above.

Once I explained to her, my mom was okay with the whole thing.

As such, it's highly possible that I could be going to L.A. sometime this or next year with my mother.

I plan to try to see the sketch group the MoHos while I am there.

No, I am not obsessed with Richard Horvitz...I'm such a liar...

Animation reviews?

So...I've been thinking about the idea of making a blog where I post reviews of animated entertainment, TV series and movies. If I do, I'll start the blog after I've written a review of something. You know, actually write a review this time instead of episode summaries. That would be good.

I started cleaning out my room yesterday and it's mostly clean. The depressing thing about it is that when I cleaned off parts of my desk, I found one of Karen's business cards. It's just...I know she's gone and I'm still upset about that.

I saw Ratatouille for the second time yesterday. It's still amazing. If the mall has one, I'm going to buy a Ratatouille wall-calendar for 2008. Just watch me.

I'm getting really hungry. After dinner, I'll probably work on some stuff for my story...

I'll get around to writing some more detailed posts later.
