Jude! Lucy! Jude- Shut up! you'll see him in 20 minutes!


So, its been a while since i posted... so heres a little update:
London departure is only days away! (less then 5...) Woah! Jude just get shot or something... sorry im watching Across The Universe and multi-tasking at the same time.... i hate this part where they're all floating in the water naked, random!

Okay back on track! So i have descovered i hate packing... I never minded when i went for school but this whole 50 lb limit is killing me! I can take 2 bags over there, but Delta is changing their policy so i can only take one back. And im not paying extra, its not worth it! So i have to re-pack. Ive packed three times already, but everytime i finish i discover something i forget to pack... So this week will be packing week. Currently I am excited to go, but my mood changes daily, yesturday i was nervous, today im excited, tomorrow i may be anxious we will see!

I've made my Dad feel less scared, go me! After we watched Taken he told me not to talk to anyone at the airport, so i said id pretend i was deaf. That was the plan, but now its safer! There are 3 other girls on my flight over going to the same place, so we have arranged for a car to get us. Aren't we so smart?!?
Is it weird i hate the end of this movie... it makes me bored.
 
Radom fact! My grandmother just learned that i am 20 years old. She thought i was 19... I feel the love! My Aunt (grandma's sister) discovered my nose ring today, that was interesting. it went down as followed (i know you all love my play-by-plays!)
Aunt: What is that? (points to nose)
Gma: She got her nose pierced, shes had it for years
Aunt: Ive never noticed
me-in head: years? Ive had it for almost a year, maybe like 9 months...
Aunt: Did you father let you get it?
Me: Not really...
Aunt: He didnt know?
Me: He knew, but im 20 years old i can-
Gma: youre not 20!?!
Me: Yes I am...

And we will stop there, because thats all. So Tuesday i am going to the movies with my cousin and her mother, my aunt. (haha Hey Jude! everytime i hear that song i think of that cute asian kid on youtube!) Speaking of Asian kids, ET was talking about Jon and Kate today... apparently its dangerous to your family to watch them! that pissed me off, im email Jon and Kate, because if anything its brought my family together... and the lady that called it dangerous, is like the top parenting person in hollywood. My mother said Kate and Jon communicate like most parents one gives instructions the other one follows. That means a lot because my mom hates Kate! Anyway back to life!
Oh so my cousin, the one that looks like Blake lively, is going to Tennessee for 5 days, im kind of jealous... only kind of becasue Paramore wont be there! haha I will get there one day and stalk them! I swear Josh will be mine! However, this summer Plan Radcliffe will take action!

okay so im done. Oh and Tete i had something i wanted to say, but i forgot! haha

peace.love.tacos

ugh!

small rant!

I hate Cablevision! They're retarded! No one actually watches channels 2-21... so why is it i have to buy a cable box just so i can watch the 3 channels i actually watch!?!?

So i decided id go into my parents room and use their box, its not even on, i dont know why its off, or even how its plugged in, Erik's tv is stupid, i cant get it to stop doing the snow thing... I just want to watch tv! is this so complicating!?! there isnt anything else to do around here!

I cant believe im saying this, but i miss school- at least i could watch the 3 channels i watch!

This is crazy!


So after class i checked my email and i got an emil from the study abroad people, it was an email explaining how we might be screened for the Swine- oh im sorry i they keep changing the name, the H1N1 flu. (i think ill stick to swine its more fun to say!)
I read it and at first im all "oh thats cool, im okay with this. Why would I want to bring it?" However! half way through it makes me nervous... this is what it said:
"flights from the United States arriving in other countries may be specifically targeted for screening. United States travelers may be checked for fever and other symptoms of novel H1N1 flu and their travel may be delayed.
If you travel internationally from the United States, you may be asked to:
*             Pass through a scanning device that checks your temperature  (the device may look like an airport metal detector, a camera, or a handheld device)
*             Have your temperature taken with an oral or ear thermometer
*             Fill out a sheet of questions about your health
*             Be quarantined for a period of time if a passenger on your flight is found to have symptoms of novel H1N1 flu
*             And, if you have a fever or respiratory symptoms, you may be asked to:
o                Have a medical examination
o                Take a rapid flu test which consists of a nasal swab sample
o                Be isolated if you are showing signs of respiratory illness consistent with novel H1N1 flu"

Thats a direct quote... but seriously!?! QUARANTINED??? so if i have a slight fever of if the 6 year old in the back of the plane has a cold, with a slight fever youre going to not let me go to work!?! dude, i survived a MRSA scare! A kid from my school had it, we only have like 2500 kids, if i can survive that-which is deadly!- i think ill be okay.

i just feel like people are blowing this way out of proportion! I think we should focus on some terrorists... i mean i get it were all freaked, but come on! this is crazy!

Peace. Love. Tacos!

writers block sucks pencils!

So i have a paper due tomorrow, 6-8 pages,  its a research paper, so it shouldnt be too hard right? WRONG! dude im stuck! i just finished page 3 but i cant find anyother infromation. ive put in 3 qoutes, its got all the info from my copy of the play and whatever is in my theatre book that also has the play in it. im completely and utterly stuck! i thought i was being so productive, and im no longer productive. stupid school!

I was actually excited about this paper. Because we had to pick a play we read, or one that were going to read, so i picked THe Glass Menagerie because thats my favorite play ever, and i think Tennessee Williams is the greatest playwrite ever! so im glad i got to learn so much about the play and him, like did you know its actually an autobiography of his life? true story!
**sigh** this is hard, where am i going to get 3 more pages of info? I already made all the periods bigger, didnt do much...

stupid papers!

ps- i got a new background, like it much?

Gabby- Moment Killer?

**sigh** so i'm beginning to feel like the Edward Cullen of IMDB. You know, the moment killer, the person that opens theyre mouth and says something that you can reply to or dont care, so you ignore it and move on...
eg- "I've killed before.." "i dont care!" "I wanted to kill you." scence change.

You see i know i havent been on the boards lately, but thats mostly because im getting tired of reading the same things, and writing my typical replies and no one responding.Its annoying. I feel like im putting in so much effort and no one cares. Whenever I reply to a post, it sits on the board and no one responds. When i post a thread, one maybe two people respond and then, its gone within the hour.

Im drifting again... **sigh** i hate being emo, and Edward Cullen.

Oh another note! Marie and I have a name for our show, Hypnotic Sound. We also now have a youtube account. hypnoticsound913. I htought of the name, just randomly. I had Decode stuck in my head becuase i usually have a paramore song in there, and the 'you've got it, you've go it! some kind of magice, hypnotic hypnotic you leaving me breathless. I hate this! i hate this!' you get the idea! thats my favorite part in the song haha, so i just texted Marie and she loved it so bang! there it is! Rob P would proud! and the numbers are our station frequency. we also now have an email address you can email us! not that i check it often, we just have one.

you can check it out, and subscribe if you love me!

Gary hooked us up with 2 interviews and the contact for passes, so i hope she can come through becasue that would make my life! i still have more bands to find because i havent really herd form many. So yeah! check out our interviews, we have more coming! Im working with The Cab's interview i have to cut out 40 seconds somewhere.... so not fun! and Im still waiting to get Vice On Victory, Wake Hollywood, and Farewell.

Hey Friends!

I may die soon due to money!
so im trying to pay University of Dreams for my internship, but my loan was a summer loan, so i dont get until June, but i need to pay the program in 2 weeks! so ive been to Student Accounts twice now (soon to be a third time), Financial Aid twice, and called the bank like 3 times! So now i need to go to Student Accounts, which i plan on going to before Wind Ensemble, and show him this bill-ish thing, and if he doesnt like that the girl from U of D said she can get the account peeps to send me an offical one.
Why is it that U of D makes things easy and school makes my life hell!?!?

okay Gabby needs a nap!

Why does the world insist on hating me!?


This is going to be an emo post- just warning you!

So next Thursday i have to be out of my dorm by 6:00pm for our easter break, which apparently we cant stay here for, but we can have classes on jewish holidays and labor day and martin luther king day etc. Im so glad i chose to go to the racist school!
So my parents have known this. I wanted to work, but my mom told me Easter was at our house this year, so she "needs my help" so i told her i would try to work "well why not" she asks because if i work 2 days for 6 hours each day, im not going to want to come home and help vaccuum the house and shit like that! so she yelled at me, and i yelled back, after she said "fine okay" we hung up. and i then re-discovered why i went away to school!

-side note!
I love my mom, were like best friends but she just knows how to get under my skin!

okay back to story, so my dad told me during spring break that he cant drive me back to school so if i could find a ride that would be great. so i tried, and wasnt too successful, but i was able to find a ride home. so my mom said she would drive me back but she has to spend the night cause she cant do it in one day. so i said "okay ill tell her and see what she says."
my mom replies with "okay let me know what she says so i can make my plans"
Me: "okay, yeah! dont make any arrangments until i know." obviously she didnt care that i didnt want them to re-arrange their schedule just incase.
Well they did! my Dad told me yesturday that he cant take me to get my visa thing done becuase he has to work. he doesnt have off now. so today i hear from the girl and she siad that her dad can take us back to school but not home. so i told her okay ill talk to my dad. I do, and hes all "ugh! i cant." and i say, "what do you mean?"
dad: "i dont have off of work, since you toldyour mother that you had a ride home."
Me: "I told her not to make any plans until i herd back for the girl."

so now im pissed about that! i was finally in a good mood and they threw me off! also today, i tried to find out about my loan. NO f***king luck! and i was so happy for me that i figured out an experiment to teach for my science in education class. i told my professor so i could make sure we had what supplies. this is how it went down:
me: "You said that we have some supplies for circuits?"
P: "yes we do, but what is your experiment exactly."
me- in head: i just told you!
p: "have you check on the library's website blah blah blah?"
Me :"no not yet" because i already know what i want to do!
P: "well can you meet with me on tuesday at like 8 or 8:30am? it seems like you have a lot more looking to do."
Me-in-head: 8!?! i dont wake up that early! thats why i didnt take an 8:00 class idiot! "okay." and i dont need to do more research! i probably know more about this then you! you just hate me (thats a fact!) and dont believe i can do the experiment!

she pisses me off everytine literally EVERYTIME i talk to this woman! and whats worse is shes my advisor, the one that screwed me over. yeah the bitch is killing me in class!


so yeah that was my agrivating day! sorry for the bad grammar, when i get angry i dont spell check!
and a big thanks to Louisa for the icon compliment! the tourists thought i was an idiot taking this picture haha!

**Sigh**

England Bound!

Hey-yo!
so today i had my interview with the Finobourgh Theatre, which is London (the UK not Texas!) and so at first i had trouble calling because it wouldnt go through, then after my short freak out i called the internship guy to tell him i couldnt get through, he said he'd try it so he hung out, i had a very minor panic attack. I hate being late for stuff, especially when its theatre! you know the saying, "to be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, and to be late is unacceptable!" so i didnt want to make a bad impression!

so i finally got through, turns out i had the wrong number in the email, so i called the woman answered the phone, this is how it went down!
Lady on phone says something i didnt understand (but has the sweetest accent!)
Me: "hi, my name is Gabriella and im looking for Anna."
Anna: "this is Anna, what was your name again?"
Me: "Gabriella."
Anna: "Hello, your interested in interning here?"
Me: "yes i am!"
Anna: "Great! So what do you want to get out of the internship?"
Me: you dont even want to know about me? we went over that 3 times last night on the phone! "well i recently started writing, and id liketo direct some more  and learn more about that aspect since i recently started writing..." stupid! you said that already she going to think you have issues!
Anna: "Alright well we have an RA position that works with the director here,  What experience do you have in the theatre?"
Me: why do they always ask this! there is way too much! "Oh boy, a lot! haha I started acting about 9 years, and ive work in my community theatre ushering, ive worked on costumes, painted sets, i am currently taking an electrics class where i am working on ligths fixing them. hanging them, cleaning them, focusing them, and thaking them down. Ive dont just about everything in the theatre! haha."
Anna: "the internship you're looking at, you would get a 2 week introduction to the theatre where you'd be working in the box office and housmanaging, then youd be working on other things within the theatre. Is that something youd be interested in?"
Me: "Yes definetly!"
Anna: "alright great, well if i can get you email..." blah blah blah

So i apparently accepted the job, and awaiting the confirmation letter. So this is exciting, however i now have to find airplane money and visa money and spending moeny... ugh! my mom wants me to work those 3 days im home, but shes telling me she wants help around the house. well how am i supposed to help her if im working?!? which one does she want? i have 2 weeks that ill be home and i can work then, take all the hours i can get. im praying that what i get back from my taces can help pay for my plane ticket. its about half of what i need, so as long as NY state doesnt take put a lot ill be happy!

i have class now, leave me some love and ideas for money!

*sigh*


So today i was supposed to meet Libba, it was ment to be the greatest day of my life, but it wasnt. I didnt get to go, i was supposed to meet up with my friend in the city and i called her last night to finalize the plans and she told me about how she had a trillion things to do. Its not her fault, and i know that, im not mad at her, im just dissapointed i didnt get to go.

then i finally got my dad to sign the loan papers for he summer, and he tells me how the whole thing works AFTER i take out $11,000 when i only needed 9. Thanks Pops! way to help me through it all! i told him i didnt know how this worked and he told me typically you go to the bank. but he clearly wasnt looking into doing that. so my mom and i discussed this one and decided to take out some extra so i could use it towards my plan ticket and anyother necessary expenses. Nope! ill never see those extra $2,000. im so glad the bank is going to be getting more money out of me! ugh! this whole this is frustrating! i hate how my dad makes it clear that he doesnt want me to go. im going to go to financal aid when i get back try to talk to someone AGAIN! (yeah theyre not much more help) see if maybe they can give me whats left over from that loan or something. Since weve already paid the school, theyre going to be getting more money. I hate this crap! now i have no idea where im going to get the $730 for the plane tickets... that could come from working forthe 2 weeks, but now ill still have no spending money, i just dont understand why no one will give me straight answers when i ask! then i wouldnt be in this position!

Also i herd from the internship guy, he sent out my resume to the 2 internships i liked, and he said he herd right away from the one (my second choice) they were impressed with my resume and i have an interview on tuesday! he seemed to want me to go to this theatre, but i really liked the other one, they had more work with the director, which is what i want. plus i wouldnt have to work 6 nights a week! i know this s a good opportunity and all, but really, isnt that a lot for someone who would also like to see the country? i figured id have some extra free weekends because ive already done all th etourist stuff the last time i went. it sounds like a place id want to work but still, the work load seems like too much for me.

whatever, tomorrow i get to go work with underwear nazis! if i didnt like money id probably kill them all!

peace.

This will be short!

I have class in about 15 minutes so this shouldnt be long.

Its My Birthday!!! i love my brithday! i hope to be one of those people when im like 80 that freaks out with joy for their birthday! Although im not sure how i feel about being 20, its not really on of those "yes! now i can (insert activity here)" but it does mean im not longer in my 'teen' years! so now when i say i hate teenagers no one can look at me funny! well i guess they still can since i look around 17ish, but whatevers!

so far, ive had 5 text, 3 in persons happy birthday, and 27 wall posts! and its only 9:43 in the morning! last night the roommate surprised me with cake! we ate about 2/3rds of it. not just us Bri and Haley had some too! it was yummy yummy! Then while studying i quit studying becasue its my brithday! why should i study at 12:30 in the morning on my birthday! plus i know just about all the material. i hope this test isnt hard! Syracuse (sp?) won last nights game after 7 over times! that was crazy! i only know this because my neighbor was watching the game and needed me for good luck, apparently i help people win who knew!?! but i ended up falling asleep on her and read the not on our door this morning!

so my parents come today, i htink around 4ish, maybe 5 to take me home to New York! im so excited! i miss new york, except it will be colder there, but thats cool, ill also be working and making some much needed money! as well as meeting Libba Bray!!!!! im so excited for that most! next to my home cooked meals! haha

well i have class, and Becky is still sleeping i should wake her up!

Update on life!

So! life is starting to get back on track!

Although i didnt make the play, thats okay. It gives me time to get things together for summer! So first off, we got the apartment! and were so excited!  mostly because we will have our own kitchen! haha we like to cook! im excited becasue weekends wont be so lonely, now ill have a roommate on the weekends! And before we leave we have to get together to see what we all need to bring, so far we need a futon for our little living room, and we want a brita water thing so we can save the earth by not buying waterbottles!

also! i found out that i was taken off the waiting list for that London Internship! and well heres that story:
So i found out on thursday that i got in, and i called my mom to tell her the news! well apparently she must have had a bad day, becuase i told her i need to get in the deposit by tuesday (it was more of a statement just telling her what needs to be done as of now) and she assumed i was asking her for the money so she kind of snapped at me. Then i called her after i went to the career center to get my internship paperwork so i could get credit for it, and asked her about the loans, and she said "i dont know how loans work." so i hung up frustrated. well friday, yesturday, she called me and told me about how she got introuble with work so that explains thursday's little attitude! and she offered to lend me the money. which is good! so i told her not to transfer any money until i talk to my dad about it.
That i was afraid to do! My dad has a tendency to turn down anything that costs money. well the phone conversation went like this-
me: "Hi dad!"
Dad: "Hey Pumpkin how are you?" (yes my  whole family calls me pumpkin, its a name ive been blessed with since birth im still surprised i didnt go into preschool and tell them that was my name...)
Me: "Good i just went food shopping! so remember that internship in London I applied for?"
Dad: " uh yeah..."
Me: "i got in!"
Dad: "and how are you going to be paying for this?"
Me: "Well ive been looking at student loans, i went to the finacial aid office today and they said that one of my loans will transfer, but i dont know if that means i loose it in the fall."
Dad: "And how does this internship work?"
Me: "well ill be working with people from the theatre there"
Dad: "youre not getting paid?!?"
Me: "well no."
Dad: "thats odd, usually people pay you to do an internship."
Me: "a paid internship? thats rare! ive never her that as a common thing..."
Dad: "all the people ive known who did internships got paid."
Me: "oh okay.."
Dad: "well how much do you need? and when?"
Here i thought there was a bit of hope, but still annoyed he wasnt exactly thrilled for me!
Me: "well i need the deposit by tuesday, but thats not bad i can handle that"
Dad: "how much is the deposit?"
Heres where i freaked! my mom told me not to tell my Dad that she would loan me the money. i hate that they do this to me, my dads always like 'dont tell you mother im giving you this!' its frustrating, i cant keep up with the dancing around the truth bit!
Me: "well... 500."
Dad: "thats a big deal for me right now, how were you going to pay for this?"
Me : CRAP! "uh the loan."
Silence!
Me: "well i just want to know where i should be looking for a loan, like there was a list of loans they except but i didnt know if there was any place i should go to before those."
I thought maybe the fact that i was trying on my own he would get the idea that this internship is not a yes or no decision, ive made up my mind, Im a redheaded German, stubborn is  only a small piece of what i have!
Dad: "how much do you need?"
Me: I was afraid youd ask that how can i put it so it sounds like a small amount? "well the program is just over $9,000"
Dad: "okay so you need a $10,000 loan becuase youll need spending money."
Me: "yeah i guess so."
Dad: "okay ill start looking and when you get home well go to the bank."
Me: he is NOT happy." okay, say hi to everyone for me! have fun at dinner" they were going out for my brothers birthday ( i think i cut that half of the conversation out)
Dad: "okay love you bye."
Me: Love you? so hes not exactly furious..."love you too! bye!"

after i hung up the phone it was like the world had been lifted off my shoulders! i told him and he didnt sound happy but he didnt sound mad. But the thing is my dad is one of those people that i dont think could ever be mad at me. I know that ive always been his little princess in a way, i figured that out when i started looking at schools. He told craig (the older brother) that he couldnt go to certain schools because of the price. And me he mentioned it, but ive always been the type of person where if i want something bad enough, ill work harder when you say no... so maybe its not that im spoiled i just dont listen and he lets me get away with it. i dont know, he didnt like the fact that i pierced my nose, but he never said anything to me directly, my mom told me he wasnt happy. but why wouldnt he just say something! my grandmother did the same thing she gave me the dirty italian 'im disapointed in you' look but she didnt say anything to me. I hate when people do that, like just say it flat out ot me, it wont offend me. id rather know what you think then assume youre okay with the idea. you know what im saying? well if hes really mad my mom will tell me haha! she like my little spy!

i do feel kind of bad though for craig. hes never been to europe and this would be my 3rd time. but at the same time i dont feel bad. the first time i went was in 11th grade with my spanish teacher, and i didnt know i was going until i went to school the day after open house and my teacher handed me the information and told me it had to be in by next week.
i went home and my mother literaly yelled at me, "why didnt you tell me she was going to spain france and england! all i ever hear from you is how you want to go to paris and london!"
and i really didnt have an answer so i said "i thought i we wouldnt have the money..."
she replied "punk, (thats her nickname for me  punk is short for pumpkin, yeah my nickname has a nickname!) at this price youre crazy not to go!" so i got to go!

My second time was to Germany last winter. If you dont know my mom is from Germany, she was born there and my grandparents and her came over when she was really little, they left for a better life because living in East Germany in the 60s was less the fun! so she was going during my spring break for like a month and i asked her if i could go, she said no because she was meeting with family to find out about our family tree and that, and i wouldnt understand anything because it would all be German. but she said i could go with her next time. So for my graduation i asked again, and we looked at my school calender and figured out the best time was in the winter during my christmas break. So i bought my ticke with all my graduation money (literally ALL of it!) and we stayed with family, i asked for nothing for that christmas knowing this would cost enough to go, why add to the expense, and i was happy!

so its not entirely my fault he doesnt get to go, he never opens his mouth to go. plus i hate when he says to my mom "you too pumpkin!" no she did! i paid my way! maybe she took care of my food and stuff while there, but i didnt get anything while there, no i got a magnet and a makeup case for a big 7 euros! but still, if hed just open his mouth!

anywho! enough on that! so im going, and my dads not too thrilled but im already going to be $80,000 in debt when i graduate, whats another $10,000? i wont even notice! I did forget to tell him that im getting credit for it. and i think that may have won him over a bit more. but whatever. im going and ill i need is for him to help me find a loan!
the only flaw to this trip is i found out yesturday i need to buy my plan ticket, and the trip happens to be during the most expensive time of the year to fly! whatever, that will be in the loan i guess, and work HAS to give me hours now!

so another good thing that has happened is im going to the city on March 18th, to see Libba Bray! my friend Erin might meet me in the city, she never read Libbas books but she wants to see me, so i told her shes welcome to tag along! OUCH!!! i jsut elbowed the wall!
So im excited for that! and for my birthday all i asked for was The Secret Life of Bees DVD, and my typical b'way show, but ill give that up to go to london this summer, you dont need to ask me twice!if they want they can drop that and help pay for my plane ticket ill be more then peachy keen!

thank god for spring break next week i need a week off! i still have to call work to find out if i can get hours, hopefully i remember to call them! My advisor comes back... OMG! ITS SATURDAY I WAS SUPPOSED TO SIGN UP FOR THAT THING THATS NEXT WEEK! CRAP!!! okay so i have some major thins to do! ill get back to you all! sorry i dont have time to put some of this under the cut!

WORST. DAY. EVER!

Okay maybe not ever-ever, but sure damn close!

so this morning i wake up to "Gabby you might want to check the TV" from my rommate, so i turn it on, to find out the rest of the east coast gets off school but my school. Nice right? its literally a blizzard out and my school decides to say "hmm F. It! lets watch them suffer! and if they die, cool we already have their tuition! Oh and! how about we DONT plow any path ways, hehe make them walk in the 8-10 inches of snow! Mwahahah!!!" so im annoyed and get dressed while cursing my school out. the F word was dropped often.

then i check my email becuase im up a little early, an i find out that garenteed internship i applied for, i got waitlisted for. i know the word garentee clearly means something different to them. oh but wait! it gets better! so as i read farthur into the email it says they will contact me between now and May 1st to tell me if there are any cancellations. did i mention that all of the study abroad shit is due to my school like next week-ish? and the actual internship begins June 13th, that gives me about less then a month to get everthing together to go away for 8 weeks. yeah i mean i can do that but ill be forgetting loads of crap i need at home. so i email the study abroad peeps on campus nad i tell them and ask if i still need to fill out paper work and they tell me to talk to the internship people, and im all "but im going to england! so i go through you! weve had this conversation before!!!" i hate how impersonal things get.

so as im on my way to class, my first class was not so bad, second alright until he mentions the test on friday. then i go to math and im already annoyed by the day, and he springs  pop quiz on our asses! now there are onle 11 people in class. and i missed fridays class becuase well, i couldnt even stand i was so dizzy. and he never posted the notes. plus he didnt even give me enough time to figure out what he just explained. can you ay Ass?
the nice part was he let us take home and its due wednesday now. oh and i had forgotten my calculator, and i know youre thinking "duh its math! you need on of those!" well yeah but not always, and i was running late so excuse me mr. math-pop-quizer, im having a sucky day!

UGH! plus! so tomorrow better be a better day! i have my audition tomorrow, and before that we find out if we get the apartment, were not sure how this whole thing works, we were approved but we dont understand the letter. because my school clearly hates its students!

and while im in a rant, so as a theatre co-concentrator i have to go through some stupid student review, now i shoulldnt say stupid becuase its not entirely stupid, but i think people like me and freshman should be excused until next year. because what it is, is we have to present them with things weve done in the past 12 months in theatre. thats a good idea and all but ive only been a theatre co-concentrator for this semester. so i havent done anything in the past year. paying for books and not failing was a bit more important to me last year. sorry, my bad! but they want some statement about what weve done and what we plan to do, then they want a resume and cover letter- resume i have (3 in fact, so no problem!) but ive never had a cover letter for an audition... ever! so anyone out there know how to help me?!?! PLEASE!!! im literally begging! you cant see but im on hands and knees pledding with litte quivers and tears!
plus my advisor who has been more then paitent with me, god bless her! is going away tomorrow so i have a feeling she wont be getting back to me anytime soon.

oh man! tomorrow NEEDS to be better!
okay to cheer up this post ill leave you with my favorite picture of Haley and Me, along with Walter! i like this picture because when im with her im not just 'the redhead' cause well, obviously as seen below she too is a redhead! she makes my hair look normal, and not so abnormal! haha

And so...

Last night kick MAJOR behinds!!! it was awesome! we only got in trouble 3 times... but we did meet just about all the bands! so heres how it went down! a little timeline for ya!

*3:50pm- arrival! calle VersaEmerge's person and he was able to get us the interview just about right away, sierra was a bit late, but not a big deal, i can wait for anyone that awesome! marie taped while i asked questions. people starred wondering who the hell we were talking to and why... It went well i think!
*4:20pm-Sat in the car while watching We The Kings eat on their bus... waiting fro 4:50
*4:50pm-Called There For Tomorrow's person, he called me right back, and no problem! we were set! met mika and christian (singer and guitar player of band) we headed over the pizza place and we went into the bar to do the interview, some girls starred in jealousy! i filmed and marie sat inbetween the boys while she asked the awkward questions! that was fun and informative! haha
*5:15pm- Interview finished! then i called The Cab's person and he met us outside, where we ended up waiting about 15 minutes cause the guys were eating, which was cool with us!
*5:30ish-5:45ish pm-The guy took us into the venue (while VE was sound checking- excitment!) walked up stairs and sat in a little cove-room thing waiting forthe band, they showed up one by one, then we headed into the We The King's dressing area-suite thing and we did theinterview in the mostly dark room. That was awesome they were fun! a little ADD, but considering we picked the questions the day before it went very well!
*6:05pm- walked down the stairs and waited for the show, about 15 minutes later we got introuble for the first time
*6:54pm- the doors finally open and we get close enough to hear VersaEmerge almost done, im pissed i call their person (who said if they gave us any troulbe to call him) and he didnt pick up, i assumed he was doing things for the band and what not...
*7:00ish pm- We make it inside, only to find our name has been crossed off the guest list! we got our pass anyway, made it up the stairs to the backstage listened to the bands...
*8:50ish pm- We The Kings goes on plays 2 songs, another security dude comes in and tells us to leave, so we went downstairs, and finished the show
*9:30pm- Show is over, it was awesome! Travis wants to save our kind (the redheads!) i wish i couldve stayed a bit longer and told him i want to help save us, but marie wanted to leave so we did...
*10:00ish pm- we turned around to meet with the guy that set up our There For Tomorrow interview
*10:30pm- headed back to school/home
*11:45pm- made it to school...

So over all it was good, i did leave out the second time we got introuble but whatever, its no big deal, we found out that it wasnt just us, the bouncers at CROCK. ROCK are all jerks every show. so we were releaved it wasnt just us.
And we think we know who took us off the list... but! we did get hugs from at least one person in each band haha, they all loved our questions! (i have to edit videos and make them awesome for our website!) we also oddly watch There For Tomorrow get dressed, that was weird but at the same time, i saw it out of the corner of my eye haha! So we had a good time, interviews should be up soon, ill post a link here so you can all watch my awesome-ness!

In other news! marie and i talked and we decided that if the P'more and no doubt tour come near us, that i will do my best stalking and effort to get us an interview with Paramore!!!! which we all know id die half way through, but that would be awesome!
and so today i was on the FBR and did some research with a lot of success!

okay im off for dinner! its really hot here! 62 man!

peace.

Seriously?!?

Do i have "Go ahead with your immature games, i like it!" written across my door?!
I thought going to college, living in an 'upper classman dorm' would mean people grew up... obviously i was wrong!

so last night, at 12:30am i herd a ripping noise at my door, now iassumed it was my friend Bri playing a silly joke on me or something, so i go to the door unlock it and i open it up to find no one there i look around, and going up the stairs is some blond girl pushing her firend up the stairs. i was like "seriously?!?" i know two people on the thrid floor! no three... Zac, his roommate and Julie, Julie is blond but shes too sweet to do anything that childish.... i look down and found 3 hearts on the ground. Becky and i decorated our door with hearts for valentine's day (yeah i know im a v-day hater, but channukah is over.... the sign needed to come down, but the monorah is still there haha!)

so about 3 minutes ago i was going to go to the bathroom, and i hear a knock at my door, followed by a muffled knock, now i understand that its supposed to be funny, i dont care, but i had to pee, so i left and this kid is poking his head out of the door laughed then turned to say something to his friends... i wanted to yell to him and say "dude! i have to pee, just becuase you knock doesnt mean thats why i answered it... that wasnt funny, and you just happen to knock at the right time, so get over yourself! youre not funny... if anything im funnier then you!"

now i dont consider myself funny, so if i would say i was funny i mean business!

anyway! this just annoys me because were all adults! youd think we'd grow up and only play these kinds of 'jokes' on our friends!
i will admit, i do knock on Haley and Bri's door and walk away, but they know its me, and she does it to me, thats fun and games, but when i dont know you, you cross the line and become annoying!

grow up children!

ps-im no cranky just annoyed at the children i have to live with! i cant wait for that apartment next semester, i prey to allah, god and buddah we get it!

This has been bothering me for a while now

So last year i posted this video of Carley and balloons, we taped it on her birthday, posted it on youtube like a month later or something...
well basically its Zac Farro (the green balloon) and he tells Carley (the girl) how he really feels about her,
now clearly it sounds retarded and beyond stupid right! that was the pont, we just had a little too much sugar in us...in the info box it says how its supposed to be stupid so please dont leave 'this is stupid' comments... clearly no one cared.
 
heres the video, read the comments, clearly no one can read anymore!



the best part is Zac Farro found it, and asked me about this... it was a tad embarrassing for Carley haha! but so funny how he found it!

enjoy our madness! i miss her =(

peace.

back up plan...

hey-yo!

i gots me a new picture! im proud of this one! despite the fact that it makes me look like a tard- which i know i am!

so theres a rumor around my home, that we might not have the money for me to come back to school next fall. im a little freaked becasue its not like i can transfer to the jr. college by my house, ill have already finished those classes! so ive decided on what i will do. Back in the day when i was applying for schools and picking my majori was begging the parentals to go to a 2 year school in the city for drama, they turned me down because it was a college, jsut a school (the difference? so what i dont care!) well  my mom said that acting can be my plan b, option 2, next!
so now that plan a may have to be put on hold, ive decided that i will work, but i want to do more then just go to victoria secrets day after day. i need to socialize and live my young life! so, ive decided that i will audition more, and i want to get an agent, because id like to at least make a small profit from this talent... you know!

so i told my mom the other day that if i cant come back then im going to be auditioning all over the island. and her answer was "no youll be working" my reply, "working and auditioning, i need gas money!"

she doesnt get it, if i cant teach because of lack of education then i can at least do something else that i love, i dont want to spend my life in retail, i want to get some where, make some impression. whether its being a part of some kid's life or on stage. i dont care jsut not wasting my young self away in retail.

so maybe if i scare her enough theyll find a way!

so the semester started i like most of my classes, but i just finished all of my day ones... well see how the semster progresses

peace love!

BEST DAY EVER!!!!

Hey Hey!

So as you know the day finally came on wednesday! i saw Equus! IT-WAS-AMAZING! the story is odd if youre not into the dark plays. i am, if you didnt know Jekyll and Hyde is my favorite all tim musical! so to answer the most frequent questions/ reacctions:
1) Yes, i did see him naked, no it wasnt awkward for me, but im sure for him and the girl it was.
2) No, i will be able to watch Harry Potter the same. if anything ill watch it knowing he can act his little head off!
3) Yes i did meet him!
4) No i didnt get a picture with him, you werent allowed to but i did get pictures OF him, and NO not naked i didnt feel like getting arrested...

a quick little synopsis of the show, Daniel's character Allen has this odd infactuation with horses (meaning he kind of worships them...) he goes to Richard griffiths character for help, and we slowly learn why he blinded 6 horses.
it gets intense! so we sat 4th row, Row D! best $60 i ever spent! id do it again in a hearbeat! i also bought a poster for $20 which i was able to get all 3 people i could track down to sign it! First person was Amanda who played Jill the show i saw, we took a picture with her, she said she loved my coat "its very festive!" were her exact words! i also got Daniel himself to sign it and Richard Griffiths. If you have no idea who Richard Griffiths is, i slightly pity you, and he plays Uncle Vernon in HP1-3 and 5.

so now my $20 poster is worth $150! i checked on ebay last night! No im not selling it! we stood outside waiting for 2 HOURS! that baby is never leaving my sight! And when i met him was fully conscience and i was able to hold back the porposal. however! i did tell him how good he was and he looked me IN THE EYE! and said "aw thank you so much!" and i could tell he ment it too! he really was thankful! but whenu eyes met, you ahve no clue how hard it was not to pass out, or even scream 'HAVE MY BABIES!' at him. that look made my heart melt! im sucker for those blue eyes, we all know that!
 

here are some pictures from our day! we did more then just see the show! because we went to a 2:00 show we had to wait until 10:30 to even meet him, so we went to dinner then hung around. but before the show we went to Central Park for a bit!

awesome045.jpg picture by CrabbyGabby313

then after the show to waste some time we headed over the the Ripley's Believe it or Not museum which opened in like July. so it was farily new! it was pretty cool!

awesome065.jpg picture by CrabbyGabby313
i was rubbing Buddah to ask to meet Daniel and marry him... half worked! im still waiting on my other half of the wish!
 

awesome072.jpg picture by CrabbyGabby313 awesome073.jpg picture by CrabbyGabby313

awesome057.jpg picture by CrabbyGabby313
And i've always ben a little insecure about my height!

awesome075.jpg picture by CrabbyGabby313

awesome114.jpg picture by CrabbyGabby313

awesome113.jpg picture by CrabbyGabby313
That is Amanda Quaid, she played Jill.

awesome120.jpg picture by CrabbyGabby313
RICHARD GRIFFITHS!!!

awesome115.jpg picture by CrabbyGabby313
This is the best picture i have of him! its NOT on zoom! he was standing right next to me, so i couldnt exactly zoom out haha!

 then yesturday we went to the beach, dinner and i took her to my theatre where we saw The Nerd. and today she went home. its back to PA for me on sunday. im kind of excited, more excited to see my friends! tonight is a pincocchio crew party! im excited! hopefully its not just me and tara and kristen again. although i havent seen kristen since like september... i havent seen the rest in like a year! okay so peace and...
