Is not a gLeek

Its true.
I do watch it occassionally when I have some time. Which is basically never. But I do make an effort to watch it I suppose.. Hahah.
But I guess I wish for a moment that I was a gLeek, and could sing, and was older than 16... Lol.

^Thats for all of you who want to make your big break in the acting world. Lol. Glee is holding open casting call for people 16-26 for a chance to be on the show. I only breifly looked at the site, but I guess starting from March 30-April 26 you can submit your auditions videos through Myspace. You should all go audition. Right now. Lol.

Layout Changes

I've been fiddling with the layout... again. www.pyzam.com has some really awesome layouts that you should defintly check out.

Oh, and in other assorted news...
The state is in a state of emergency*.
Easter is this upcoming Sunday.
April Fool's is tomarrow.
The basement is still flooded.
And I have a four day weekend.

And there was much rejoicing**.

Be around later I suppose,
~chase

*Of course, they only announced the stupid state of emergency AFTER we were already on the school buses. Couldn't they have announced it just an hour earlier?
**Erm, but not about the basement.

Hmn..

I have just been informed that the average person hears at least part of the lyrics to "Don't Stop Believin'" 2.7 times a day*.

So just incase you have been deprived recently of hearing any Journey music today, this is for you..


Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night

Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night

[Instrumental Interlude]

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlights, people


Saving deprived people, one rock song at a time,
~chase


*This may also be going back to what I said before, 83.2% of all stats are made up.

Sigh.
Romeo and Juliet.*

My English class has been reading it for a few months now. It must be some coming of age thing, reading Romeo and Juliet in high school.. Just Kidding. I don't mind it at all, Shakespeares a genious, and I don't care what people say, but I actually think he did write all of his plays. He's a pretty cool dude.

So in class, we are seperated into groups, and each of us will preform a scene from Romeo and Juliet. Our group is working on the scene where the Capulet's realize that Juliet is "dead."** My friend has all these old ball gowns that we are using for some of the costumes. And I think our scene is going to come out pretty swankified...

The past few classes we have spent in the Auditorium at our school. Not actually on the stage yet, but we disperse oursleves around the room, while pretending to kiss, kill, and scream bloody murder. Yes. Shakespearian Tragedies are a loverly thing.

On Wednesday, we brought in some costumes. The two ball gowns are for Dead Juliet and Lady Cap. Juliet's is this mint green, with almost a blue undertone, while Lady Capulet has a poofy pink dress. Her own train and everything. Spiffy. The Nurse has a long green medival-esque dress, that my mom bought for about $10 at some Post-Halloween sale a few years ago. Glad to know it has some use other than keeping the attic floor company. One of my friends, who is playing Mercutio in another group, agreed to be our Dead Juliet. But on Wednesday, she was preoccupied with fighting Tybalt, so we were Dead Juliet-less. We used my friend's backpack as a replacement. Then, our English teacher asked if he could watch our group practice for a little while. Nursey and Lady Cap got into their dresses, and we started our scene. I wore Juliet's dress, just because. Although, our teacher gave me a funny look when I came out. I'm Lord Capulet***.

Papa Cap is just showing his sensitive side.

*Or RoMEOW and Juliet, as one of my friends says..
**"I'm not dead yet!" Wow. I need to get out more.
***Girls playing Boys. As apposed to in Shakespeares time, when the Boys played the role of Girls..

Lol.

I'm pretty sure less than 0.01%* of people actually laugh out loud when they say "lol". If they did laugh out loud every single time they said "lol", there would be a lot of laugh lines showing on more than half the population's* faces. If your friend sends to you a funny text message, chances are you won't laugh out loud. You might grin. Or smile. But I don't think you would lol, or lmao** for that matter. People don't laugh their ###'s off, I don't think it works that way. (Um.. Walking into a room where someone was literally "lmao"... Well... I'm not sure how they would get the ### back on. Minor observation.)
So please, all I'm trying to say here in this blog is to prevent the missuse of common phrases like "lol" or "lmao". (Cue the Sara McLaughlin music.) This is extremly important. And only you can change this. Please help.

Lol.

*Just keep in mind that 74.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
**"Lettuce, Mayo, Artichoke, Olives" is what that really stands for. Mlia.

Because all you really want to do in life is make up stories.

I can't remember why I wanted a new blog. I just did. And maybe because with the looming thought of a 2.5 hour band rehursal tonight, I needed cheaper therapy.
So I've started a second blog, just because I really can. That maybe reason enough for now.

A few summers ago, when some of us New Englanders were still trapped in the B.F. era*, my cousins and I started writting letters to each other. The computer upstairs was invented, possibly, by Prehistoric beasts, and worked as reliably as a blind platapus can yodel**. So no email. And, personally, I hate talking on the phone. So we wrote these letters instead. Oh, and they were always in some sort of code. That was the "fun" part. Some were actual codes that we took from those Spy magazines and different activity books. But most of them were random and frantic and beautiful lines and masses of squiggles, that we some how turned into our own language.
There is some joy of opening up the mailbox and seeing a letter waiting for you. A letter just is more personal in some sense than an e-mail or text message. I think Andy Rooney said something like this a week ago on 60 Minutes. Well, its obviously true. (Not just because Andy Rooney said it. Although, his word is practically law. So scratch that. Because Andy Rooney said it, it is true. Ha.)
As months past, we transitioned from writing in codes, to writing in complete and total madness. Not written like "Ohmygosh. I hate your face. Go die.***" but written in-madness? (I'm not explaining this correctly. Sorry.) We just wrote rediculous stuff. Crazy things. My cousin wrote a whole story about how she was going to marry one of my teachers, and that they were soul mates that met on a beach one summer, and my teacher saved 763 and a half people during his summer job as a life guard. Thats what I mean by madness. It was just rediculous. Biazzare****. Insane stuff that you would never imagine. We got rid of the letter format as well. Instead we wrote Newsletters to each other. And each issue was written about crazy topics like, "How to Train Your New Platapus (Part 1)" or "Buffy Killed Edward." (To be honest, I started writing this post a couple days ago, and haven't really looked at it since, so now I can't remember where I was going with this post...)


Ok. Well, thats my first post I guess.
And it really didn't go anywhere. But I may post some of the stories we wrote later, because most of them are just mildly amusing to read. (:

Adios.

~Chase




*Before FiOS. Yes, we did live under a rock. Many of us still do.
**Erm.. Nevermind.
***My friend and I spent an afternoon just saying "Go Die" to each other in Sign Language, as fast as humanly possible. No, not disturbed. We just have too much time on our hands.
****I can't hear or see this word any more without thinking of Heidi Klum's face on last weeks (maybe 2 weeks ago..) episode of Project Runway. Oh, and just so I can prove that I can also see the future like Stephan Pastis, I am going to throw out my Project Runway predictions now...
The top three is going to be Seth Aaron, either Jay or Jonathan, and that lady who always designs black and white clothes.
I love Anthony with a passion. But I think that the judges will say that he might not be ready for Fashion Week. In other words, right now it is down to the best of the best, so to speak. And they might think that out of the group of awesome designers, Anthony might not produce a collection as strong as someone else. Same with Emilio. Except, I don't like him as much.
Jonathan is awesome. And I think to prove his place at Fashion Week, he needs to keep being awesome. (He is also from RI, like myself. So go Jonathan. We love you!)
Milya.. or Milla... or Mee-la... Or however you say her name... The lady who designs the same black and white stuff! Her. Well I think its going to be interesting how her future plays out... I think she has potential. But her attitude bothers me to no end. She seems really cocky most of the time. Cocky or cranky. Maybe both. But she always makes black and white clothing. Her clothes aren't horrible, but she seems completly lost without her straight foward black and white. (Micheal Kors said something like this as well. And its true.) So maybe the judges might think that her collection in Fashion Week will just be black and white... black and white... black and white... Oh look! Color! And wow.. That outfit with color sucked. More black and white... and more black and white. So I'm still not sure if she will make it to Fashion Week. Part of me hopes not. I think Maya, is a good designer, but she is the only one left who hasn't won anything yet.. But she also might be sent to Fashion Week because she hasn't produced a crappy outfit yet. (I thought for sure she would win the hardware store challenge.) So maybe she will make it to fashion week as well? Maybe they will also have four designers go, this season? That would be cool... But they have done that before... So they would have to find a different way to do it...

Ok. So my final prediction is:
Seth Aaron
Jonathon
B+W Lady
Maya

And I think Seth Aaron is going to win. (:
Ok. So I jsut seriously HOPE he's going to win.
