Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

NOBODY here is a Star Wars fan. Particularly not of the prequels. This makes me sad beyond all measure. I need a happy Wars geek fix, but I don't know where to get it from. I like the prequels, dammit. I don't know why this is so, it simply is. Will no one commiserate with me?

"That'll put marzipan in your pie plate, Bingo!"

You will never fail them, nor ever leave them, quite.

So, I leave for Hanover tomorrow afternoon.
It's really weird.
I'm going to miss you guys so much. Especially those of you I used to see every day at school. I'm excited and everything, just right now I'm waxing nostalgic.
Anyway, I'll still be blogging, and I'll still talk to you all all the time. I just wanted to say bye, for a little while.

Pure Awesome

So, school has started and I now have time to blog (newspaper class). First of all, thank you to everyone who came to Jekyll and Hyde! It was awesome to see you guys there and if you enjoyed watching it half as much as we enjoyed doing it, then we enjoyed it twice as much as you.
Junior year is awesome! All my classes are fun except band, which is neutral. Study hall was also neutral, but now that I have it with Anna, a foriegn exchange student from the Republic of Moldova, I'm moving it into the fun column. Even Marching band has been enjoyable lately, as our section finally stops being all slackers all the time and has move into somewhat slackerish most of the time. Also, the rehearsals are pretty short. North Star without SRTs is trying, and I'm not sure how it's gonna work yet, but I think there will be a paper and a MEOW, so all is well. Chamber is difficult but enjoyable enough, and Interdisc is the 90-minute embodiment of awesome.
This morning Nathan and I came up with a great parody on Tower of Babble based on Mark Kurlansky's cod. A sample:
God endows us with rivers full of fish.
God endows us with cod fit for a dish.
But despite the abolition of the current inquisition of any overfishin' of codfish meat,
When it comes to God I find I can't believe that he designed the atlantic ocean with a fish,
We're not supposed to eat.
There's more of course, but since only Marten will really get it I'll just show it to him. I think I'm coming up with a new template line. This comes from a recent MEOW brainstorming session.

There are no bad ideas, except "Ugly people and their moms."

50 Ways to Leave Your Lover

So yeah.
I just broke up with Ashley.
I actually don't feel bad about it. A little relieved, to be honest. Relieved that we came out of it still friends, that neither of us 'dumped' the other one... it was a nice, amicable breakup. We have good communication skills. I just thought I should keep y'all informed.
These people threatened my family, my babies.

Ahahahahahahaha!!!!! Yours truly, The Opera Ghost

Bravo, bravo! to everybody in Jekyll and Hyde. You guys were great beggars and mental patients. And your bios in the program were the best ever. It was easy to see that everybody worked hard on the show and it paid off. Hooray!

These people threatened my family, my babies.

There's always bloody quantum.

It seemed a little silly to do ANOTHER comment on Society's Pants to explain my Triple Post of Extreme Doom, so I'd like to do it here. The explanation is: Something quantum happened. The thingy wasn't working, it kept jumping and skipping, so then I did it over... and the result is three comments that say basically the same thing. Not my fault. And I can't figure out how to make them go away. It's like when your printer's not working one minute, and you keep pressing the print button, and the next thing you know you're printing a zillion copies.

That is all.

These people threatened my family, my babies.

But I wanted to go into Toshi Station and pick up some power converterrrrs!

Guess what, guys! I have my driver's license! That's right, after two years of alternately trying really hard and procrastinating, I am finally licensed to drive. Get off the roads, everyone. It is no longer safe. Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!

Who the heck is Evie? Oh well, I don't care...AYE! teehee. Anyway, who's excited about school?! NOT ME! :D

The day we stop believing democracy can work is the day we lose it.

My enter button still won't work here. If anyone can think of why this is, please tell me. I would like to call for a vote. All those who would like Evie to join the Compendium staff, please vote "aye." Thank you.

I miss my hair...

Haiku Frenzy

lol geesh, what kind of a band would this be? Their songs would be all haikus. Haha. I would laugh. Anyway, I am laughing. :D

But....MY HAIR IS LONG(er)! I HAVE TEETH! I told you that, right? I got my braces off? I don't remember if I announced that to you or if that was after I "quit". Who knows, eh? Ooo! I'm going to start saying "no?" at the end of sentences. Sounds good, no? See? Doesn't that sound so foreign?! Okay, sorry, I'm a bit hyper and have a lack of places to express my hyperosity. Plus I'm putting off reading The Scarlet Letter. I hate that book. GRRRRR. :D

A *seamstress*, I said. With *needles* and *thread.* Also specializes in crochet.

Hey, guys, since none of you are ever online due to your various commitments, I'm going to ask you this question in the form of a survey, to which you may respond by emailing me. For those of you who have read Night Watch-- I just reread it, and I'm wondering: (two things now, actually, one of which is why this stupid thing won't let me press the "enter" button) Was Lady Roberta Messerole of Genua, aka "Madam", aka Vetinari's aunt, a seamstress (hem hem)? And exactly what part was she playing in the assassination of Lord Winder and his replacement with Lord Snapcase? And, subsequently, what was her role in Vetinari's ascension to the Patricianship? In short what sort of... business... did she have in Ankh-Morpork? If this goes well, I have other questions about things like Gavin from The Fifth Elephant and Lady Margolotta and Angua's family and Ysabell and Albert and Binky. That last sentence would have been a different paragraph if the enter button would work, but it won't.

Kindly scrape me off this madman~Triangle and Robert

Yay! Sophia's back! We missed you. In other news, my hair is considerably shorter. It's cold, but pleasantly fuzzy, and doesn't really look that bad. Just incredibly different. Despite this, I look forward to having long hair again after the show. I'll have to put it in corn rows more often. Also, before shaving it all, I only had half a head of hair. I will have pictures of both alternative hairstyles. Okay, there was a lot more to this post, but blogger's being stupid and I lost most of it.

We hate animals that are also people. We make an exception for animals that are also ninjas. Furthermore, we do not refer here to Wishbone,

Yay, Sophia's back! We missed you. In other news, I have considerably less hair than usual, and have recieved much congratulation on shaving quite a bit of my hair for a single scene. It doesn't look that bad, actually, and is pleasently soft and fuzzy, though a bit cold. Despite its advantages, it will be grown to its original length. I could get used to it being incredibly short, but two days before cutting it i had it in cornrows and it looked awesome! The day after that, only half was shaved. Nathan's idea, we had a few different explainations to toss out at anyone who asked, my favourite being that we were running late and could only shave half. We will have pictures, for anyone interested.

Explanation on the new template: Nathan and I had an arguement about one of the prostitute costumes. I said she looked like a ninja prostitute and he insisted she was a pirate. The arguement was long and rather pointless.

The Resurrection

Wow. Thank you Nathan for that rousing rendition of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". I don't think I'll ever be able to listen to that song the same way again.
In other news, I'm alive! Kinda. I know I quit and then came back and didn't post and blah blah blah...sorry about all that. I've been working this summer! Actually WORKING! Did you think that was possible? And at school, no less. I've been working for the registrar and in the bookstore...fun stuff, eh? But I stopped doing that because I strained my back lifting books and stuff. Just think about that when you go to registration you LC folks...I hurt myself so that ya'll could get books. :D Just kidding. But it's gonna be funky this year...all the books are in the Studio Theater and you're going to get them at Registration. You LN people are lucky. But I got money for our stupidity, so it's all good. Anyway, I hope my posting isn't too weird for all of you...I'm just bored and don't really have much to do. Sorry. Bye!

In The Jungle....

Upton Sinclair's The Jungle
Lithuanians are mistreated tonight
In the Jungle, Upton Sinclair's The Jungle
Lithuanians are mistreated tonight

A weiner wort a weiner wort a weiner wort a weiner wort a weiner wort a weiner wort a weiner wort a weiner wort a weeeeeeeee ooooowwweeeooweeooooweeeeeooowomaway

In the Stockyards, the Chicago Stockyards,
The proverbial Lion of the proletariat sleeps tonight
One day, it will rise up and kill the capitalist class

(Repaet refrain)

So ends my tribute to Upton Sinclair's masterpiece. I seriously think it could work as a musical. The "weiner wort", of course, refers to what they put in the sausages. It's a great book, but it'll be weeks before I can eat another sausage.

In other news, guess what one of our numbers for the fall choir show is gonna be? Hint: It was the title of an episode of Sports Night.
