Sexy Bitch (feat. Akon)

Dammit, I am so inconsistent with this thing! Well, if it's any consolation, it's not you, it's me. School is getting kinda cray-cray as we wrap things up (ie. the last couple of days have been hellscapes where I try not to have panic attacks about finishing my European History project, which was writing, directing, and filming a eight minute long film noir).

Speaking of which, I finished it last night and it was kind of ridic awesome. Which is completely thanks to Ms. Aguayo and Jon Basil Buterbaugh, both of whom totally went all out to help me when my freaking camera erased several minutes of footage and then, later, wouldn't allow me to transfer footage onto a computer for editing. (Comprende le panic attack yet?)

So, OMG. Last full day of being a junior was yesterday. Freaking standing on the brink of being a senior in high school. I was looking at old posts a little while back and there was the first couple, where I was freaking out being a junior! God, I always feel really old and mature when I look back on stuff like that. I mean, why would I worry about being a junior? Being a SENIOR is the scary one!

And of course, people are going away and I am, again, trying not to hyperventilate about how different theatre will be without all the boys, who have been there since my day one, and have totally shaped my theatre experience, for better or worse.

Mostly for better. :)

I don't know where I'm at with H (a.k.a. Tin Foil now), either, and I think that thing's ending soon, seeing as, I DON'T KNOW, he doesn't ever talk to me and spends all his time with his friends and also I think there are some other gentlemens out there with whom I might get along with better. It's a little frustrating, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, which is basically a few days after school.

SPEAKING OF, starting my job tonight! Well, two jobs now! I talked to Ms. A and I'm going to Assistant Direct on the fall show, The Island of Dr. Moreau! Uber exciting because it means I get to learn more about directing (something I am becoming more and more interested in) and avoid the crepe hair that is sure to follow for all the animal-people actors. And I'm gonna maybe help with dialect coaching and movement and-! Anyways, auditions in the afternoon and I'm helping run them. Yuuuuuuuuus.

And the other, even more professional job, is the run crew job I'm doing this summer at Zach! I'm working backstage on "Becky's New Car" if I haven't already said so, and this weekend is gonna be our tech rehearsals, which are freaking 10 hours long, but I will try to pull through and not die.

Ag.

But so worth it.

Basically, I cannot WAIT for summer and I'm excited and Amani, who is reading this over my shoulder, is awesome and we are going to have so many freaking adventures and there will be swimming and ReBelleing and making pies and learning new skillz so that we become insane badasses and I have to stop now because my excitement is getting out of control.

Love you.

The Ballad of Davy Crockett

"The man who don't know fear!"

Oh, old-timey times. What silly times those were.

Anyway, another thing I WANT. So important......so cute.......

What else is new? Swing dancing at the Fed postponed again; must go during summer. Another goal for best summer yet!

Also movies at the Paramount and making the moneys at Zach and road trip to Awesomeville (Marfa, Santa Fe, the Grand Canyon, and San Diego) and maybe the beach and maybe the Lindy Hop dance workshop?

Ag, I think I've said all this before.

Just too excited, I guess!

Besides also, I have a pet habit of watching a bajillion movie trailers and ohmygosh, very excited about a couple of them, including "The Adjustment Bureau", this romantic thriller with Matt Damon (who is also- aw yeah!- going on to guest-star on "30 Rock" next episode, and speaking of guest-starring, OMG, Neal Patrick Harris on "Glee"!) and Emily Blunt and this guy from "Mad Men" which is my favorite show ever except for all those other shows I like and also January Jones because she is a TERRIBLE actress and was only cast because she looks exactly like Grace Kelly, which is great if she was just going to model clothes, but unfortunately she has lines and she cannot deliver them.

That whole thing was ONE SENTENCE.

WHUT. UP.

Anyway, as far as the here and now... Theatre Banquet is freaking tonight and I'm neither sure that we're properly prepped for it nor sure that I am well-rested enough to handle that whole extravaganza. Yarrrr! But I have a really cool costume, so. You know. The important things.

And also, European History! I love that class with my whole heart but how I am supposed to pick just ONE type of art to display for the final project? I wanna make a movie and write an excerpt from a novel and write a short play and- Arrrrrrrrg.

I am making bajillion pirate noises today!

How You Like Me Now

ALSO I WANT THESE EARRINGS

So cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!

OHMGEE.

Don't You Want to Share the Guilt?

Oh, I know you were all, "Rosalind's gonna post like once on this blog and then totally give up on it."

Riiiiiiiiiight?

Ce n'est pas correcte!

Today involved:

1. wearing my cute dress from Parts and Labour <3

2. almost finishing the "Single Ladies" but not quite (OMG, we perform on the 19th in the theatre during 8th period! Come see! We're opening the afternoon show!)

3. using watercolors better than I thought I could!!!! Amani didn't quite believe in me, I don't think, but she was wrong!

4. convincing Madame Brockington to let us watch a movie ("Paris 36") in the next class (not the next class per se, as I have English AP, ugh, on Wednesday, but on the next class where I am there)

5. getting humiliated in Theatre by Ms. A (We played Mafia and she was NOT shy about making a BAJILLION terrible jokes about me and H, who, thankfully, was not in class, due to APs.)

6. working out at the Y! Even though Lauren had to drag me there, it was so worth it!

7. reading about genetic mental diseases in "Genome" and getting a little freaked out.

8. eating dinner early. What up with that?

9. not having that much homework. Splendid! :)

I am feeling like I am pretty much super lucky. And like I want to hug the world just a little. And kiss everybody on the forehead because I am always with the motherly instincts. :)

Silly, silly, silly.

Anyway... I think you should: Listen to some Kate Nash and go get some new books at the library. And maybe also bake me a pie?

Excellent.

Tik Tok

Oh-oh-oh, WHA-oh! Oh-oh-oh, WHA-oh!

I used to have such a sophisticated taste in music.

Haha, no, I didn't. What a lie.

Anyway....... Keeping the blog alive, right? It's Mama's Day and I've been a pretty good (grand)daughter, if I do say so myself: making breakfast, givin' sweets and little presents, handmade cards, and generally being extra nice! :) I hope ya'll be treating your moms right today (if not everyday).

Weekend's been pretty nice: I saw "Our Town" for the THIRD time (because it's just so awesome, WHUT), this time with Amani, and I'm fairly sure most of the other people in the audience thought we were a nice young lesbian couple. (We did some swing-dancing together at the wedding portion, were silly together, as per the usual.) I cried freaking buckets, but what else is new. Seriously. The third act. BUCKETS.

Oh! and yesterday, I went to my first crawfish boil! So delicious! Such a he-man meal! I got to be quite the expert in extracting tail and claw meat. Pluswhich, Lauren and I watched as the live crawfish were put into the boiling water, and it wasn't even scary or gross or anything. They did not scream like Laura said they would. What a rip. People are such pansies sometimes. I'm not gonna have any trouble being a seafood chef. Shoot. Just dump that lobster in the water, yo!

Last (by which I mean, second) week of APs coming up! Just got English, hoping it doesn't kill me. I don't think it will. I don't think it will.

Man, sometimes I wish this was a fashion blog. I mean, I look at The Sartorialist and places like Selective Potential, and it's just like WHUT IS UP WITH THAT RAD STYLE? Damn. I wish I was freaking rich with a bajillion clothes and also a bajillion charity donations and a really nice camera with which to take fab fashion pics and hey! Amani! Where our model pics be at? 'Cuz I want them for a look-see, please.

Also, I think we should have a film festival of our greatest short films, with Sherlock Holmes and the Amethyst Egg as our feature presentation.

Also, we should make a feature length movie.

Also, we should go to the beach.

Also, we should just partay all the time.

WHUT. UP. FAM.

It's the straight up truth. (Also take the "What member of Werewolf Sleepover are you?" quiz on FaceBook because it is the bomb and that is not only true because Amani and I made it but also because it is awesome.)

Break Your Heart (ft. Ludicris)

OHMIGOD YOU GUYS!!!

I haven't posted in a century and a half! What a terrible, turrible thing!

Well, golly gee. Let's get up to date.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED IF YOU DON'T SPEND EVERY WAKING MOMENT IN MY VICINITY:

Ooh. So much caps lock.

Anyway.

1. "Break Your Heart (ft. Ludicris)" by Taio Cruz is my jam! I have patented hand motions for the chorus ("I'm only gonna break-break your, break-break your heart"). Related note: I am listening to 96.7 a lot now, EXCEPT when they play "Rude Boy" by Rihanna, because that song is SLUTTY, yo, and it is my nemesis.

2. I just looked over all my old posts on this blog, and it was kind of crazy. So much gossip! So much angst! Why, it's like I'm a genuine teenager or something.

3. H and I are LEGIT going out! WHAT UP FAM. Yeah. WHUT. UP.

4. We went to prom together and slow-danced. (!!!!!)

5. We've gone on a hella bunch of dates, and his family seems to really like me.

6. Okay, maybe not a HELLA lotta dates, but more dates than I have ever gone on with one boy.

7. OH! Back-track, history-wise! I GOT MY FIRST KISS!!!!!!!!!!! And I had my second kiss in quick succession. (!!!!) Very most excellent! Good idea, whoever came up with kissing!

8. Don't for a second imagine that because H and I are dating means that we would, I dunno, TALK to each other during school hours or anything. I mean, WHY WOULD YOU THINK SOMETHING SILLY LIKE THAT. Of course, we are dorks and avoid eye contact at all costs.

9. But I laugh more about it than actually moan about it. In case the Internets were disguising my IRONIC tone! Oh! Look! Now the English Composition AP can include an excerpt of this blog because I use irony when I write! Ohmigod, I hate that test so much.

10. One of my friends broke up with this girlfriend whom I've had a long-standing grudge against! Yay? I mean, I originally didn't like her because I was not a little jealous of her and she seemed to feel the same way about me, and obviously, I'm not in a position to snatch him up or anything, and I'm not sure I would want to if I could, but.... whatever. I certainly didn't mind hearing about it.

11. Is there a number 11?

Well.

Anyway.

I can almost taste the summer, ya'll and it tastes delicious! I'm practically sparkling with excitement and I wanna have tons of adventures and I wanna frolic with all of ya'll and I don't ever wanna let this blog fall into this kind of disrepair again!

Alright?

12. S.D. and Amani and I are doing a "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" dance for our Dance I final and it is smokin'! Haha, no, it's awesomely awful. Or something. It's awesome.

:D

Go listen to some MoZella. She's swell.

Much love,

Roz
