I CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT!
it's times like these that i remember why i have a blog. and why i love it so much. because the general public has my livejournal. the general public reads it. the general public concludes i'm a snob. maybe the general public is right. but like L said yesderday in choir... "i have no problems with diva's... you've just gotta have the shit to back it up." well, world... general public... i DO.
today when talking to the sweetest sophomore, who's in my choir... we were discussing how i rightfully deserve a lead in this years musical. she said to me "you are the best one in our choir. you're the best one that's trying out for the show. you deserve that role." trying my best not to be a snob... i agreed on the INSIDE, and thanked her humbly on the out. then a senior, who is a nice, hardworking girl... if not a little lacking in the talent department interjected. she told us how hard she'd been working... and i couldn't help but feel proud of her. then she said, in the sweetest way anybody has yet, "everybody knows that the shows are casted on seniority." because she said it so nicely i was trying not to get upset. but because of B's (i'm not using names because i know you can search them on the internet) comment i had a swelled head. "But i deserve one of those parts. i think i'm good enough." S was so nice, saying "Yes, i think you are too..." but then silly old me had to continue "and you know WHAT? i don't know if i want to be in the show if i'm chorus." I explained my reasons. How i had Forum going on at the same time... and what popa georg had told me: it's silly to waste your time on something this late in the game that will not help better you as an actress. If i wasn't experienced already, being chorus in the shitty highschool musical would be fine... but as SNOBBY as it sounds... i'm way beyond that. S then replied "i think that's justified. but you're extremley valuble to the show. you know you're talented and we'd suffer a loss without you." "well maybe if they agree withyou, and think it's neccicary for me to be in the show... they'll cast me as a lead, eh?" But by then, my tone was raised and attracted a crowd. another senior, one who has repeatedly made comments about me "getting her part" in the show came up. she told me it was bitchy of me even to SUGGEST such a thing as an underclassman. luckily the other girl stuck up for me... saying my reasons were justified. but it was too late... i was already on the rampage.
god, my tounge bleeds for how many times i've had to bite it around that girl. so now, as my godgiven right... i can say exactly what i want to say to her... right here, right now.
"Basically, you have no talent. Sure, you're a mediocre singer. actually, when i first met you i thought you were great. but since then you've went consistantly downhill and everyone around you is unimpressed. you started doing theatre, wait... i won't even call it taht. you started doing DRAMA in highschool... undoubtedly because you couldn't fit in with any other group of people. and i'm HAPPY for you that you're in the 'in crowd' with the drama kids... and i think it's funny how you look down on me because i'm not. well, none of the drama kids have any real talent either. there are a few acceptions... but basically they're fun people who got popular with your clique of weirdos because nobody else in the world liked them. But back to your talent... or lack thereof. Like i said, you're a mediocre singer... nothing i couldn't hear on a regular basis if i wanted to. but your ACTING... no. sorry, no. And also... nobody wants to work with a diva who has fainting spells and dizzy fits on a daily basis. they just DON'T. As for you wanting to have a career in this busines... i think you mentioned it to me once. well you have no shot in HELL. you don't have NEAR the experience, talent, or means. As for this years musical... i think it's funny how scared you are. you pretend like you're not... but you KNOW i'm better than you. you know i deserve a part over you. and you say it's on seniority because you know you can't get that part unless it IS casted with seniority. well maybe you're right... maybe they use that for casting. and if you get the part... have fun sucking. have fun while people talk behind your back abotu how much you suck (oh, they did that in the strait play too...) and knowing, in your heart, that you didn't deserve the part. have fun in your last play. and yeah, it's your senior year and yeah, you're a kiss ass, and yeah, you're popular with the drama freaks. and maybe you SHOULD be rewarded for that. but you being rewarded will NEVER make you as good as me. i've been working all my life and don't think i'm going to let someone like you give me a run for my money."
hmm, i feel better. oh, and let me justify myself to... myself. i really do like this girl. she's nice. she says nice things and she's fun. But... it jsut pisses me off... this whole situation. and maybei'm jumping the gun because we havn't even had AUDITIONS yet. but.. i don't know.
wow, i feel so much better.

why you do what you do, that's the point, and all the rest of it is chatter.
i think this is more of an "emotional outburst" blog. considering only emily reads this, it feels safe. I keep forgetting that it's posted on the effing internet. oh well.
so, i still have a problem with people copying off me. or, at least, it feels like they're copying off me. in reality, i know why they're doing it. it's because they want to have something in common with someone who likes the same things as me. But still, it's frusterating.
my power is out and only some things work on the generator (computer, for instance). but not the heater. i don't think you realize how cold it is outside until your heater doesn't work anymore. it's fucking november now. i can't deal with that.
Oliver is almost over. i can't decide if i'm happy or sad about that. The fact that i can't decide makes it automatically one of my least favorite shows being in. i will miss a small ammount of people. i will miss being in a show (for about a month, and luckily during the holiday seasons... then it's back with kiss me kate). That means, less than a month until i see Karen! omg, that's really exciting.
Dani yelled at me for having too much going on. I have Kiss Me Kate auditions, Solo and Ensemble, Forum auditions, Gypsy auditions, Once Upon a Matress auditions, Millie auditions, and the talent show. solution: Talent show dropped. Play auditions in order of order... audition for only the part i want, not accepting chorus. Solo and Ensemble, trudge on along.
it's really sad that i love rent so much, and yet i'm strongly considering dropping it because it's going to be too mainstream. i don't even want to see the movie anymore. I'm going to go by myself to the very first showing of the movie, cry, take it all in, video tape from the theatre... go home and watch it a million times, cry some more. then wait for it to come out on video.
sundays shouldn't be spent without emily.

number one reason i like blogdrive is because i can write whatever i want about shows without having to worry about people stealing my identity.
i'm thinking i'm going to like... start a blog and paste ALL my entries from my first two blogs, and then my livejournal into it... like, so i can have everything all together. that would be an insanley long and irritating task. but maybe worth it.
i freaking hate people so much. i wish like, the world wasn't full of assholes. my life would be so much better. i wish i was magic like Elphaba and i could just make things i want happen. Except, Elphaba never made Fiyero fall in love with her by magic. he just did it himself.
Fiyero wasn't a homo.
If idon't get the lead in the musical, there's going to be hell to pay. i deserve the lead.
I like dreaming about nice things, like playing Elphie on broadway. those sort of dreams make me want to go to bed early. and they also make me want to never get up.
i kindof feel like that anyways though. like, i never want to leave my bedroom. i want to sit there and watch movies of me when i was little. i want to watch all my play vidios in order, over and over again. oh, and home movies. oh, and other really good movies. Like West Side Story (man, i havn't watched that in forever) and Grease, and Moulin Rouge, and Sound of Music. I guess i can shorten this immensley by just saying Musicals. and i woudl never leave my bed because it is comfortable and nice.
I really do think i have some sort of bipolar-ness in me. like, i don't think it's normal for my thoughts and feelings to vary so much.
While i'm terrified of leaving highschool and going to NYC all on my own, at the same time i'm so unbelievably excited. Some days, like yesterday, i was bawling about things changing, and i was hellbent on NOT wanting to go. I saw no good in the situation, and had no desire to be an actress anymore. I didn't want to go anywhere at all. I just wanted to stay at home, not work, not leave the house. just... lay in my bed for all eternity. i guess i could save a bunch of people alot of trouble and just commit suicide if i decide on not going. yeah, that's what i'll do.
but today, i'm really excited about leaving. I'm thinking about all the lovley people i'll meet. In the dorms for AMDA, there will always be someone there to talk to. People are coming and going constantly, and it'll be nice. well, all college dorms are like that though. and in NYC, there are always things happening. It's the city that never sleeps, to go with the girl that never sleeps. So on nights like this... when i can't sleep, instead of just sitting at the computer doing nothing, i can go outside and walk. I can see all the people like me, who believe night is the best time of day. In NYC, it'll probably be a hell of alot easier to meet guys. Because, even though my profession will be handing me a shopping cart full of homos, we must remember that PLENTY of strait men live in the city. also, when you're out of highschool... it matters less how skinny and barbie-ish you are. plenty of grown men would like girls like me. And it's not like hartland high, where there's only a few semi-decent men. no, there's MILLIONS of men there. AND millions of gay ones. I can secure myself a real Will, and start out my life with him. Because Will is not a douchebag.
There are no curfews in the city. and there's no gas money. anywhere in the city i want to go, i can walk. It'll take a long time sometimes, but i CAN walk. Plus, it'll be good excercize. and walking is for free. Fun thing about NYC, i'll learn to walk long distances in painful shoes. That, or i'll just cut high heels completley out of my wardrobe. but i beleive i'll learn to walk in them. When i went to the city, plenty of people who looked like they lived there (the ones alone talking on their cell phones, carring a grocery bag and walking deliberatly, not looking around at all) wore ouch-y shoes. how wonderful will it be when i'm not a tourist anymore. When i CAN walk aroudn in the city and not look around. beecause i've seen it all so many times. i won't be phased by the homeless people, and i can talk on my cell phone and say so nonchalantly "yeah, i'm at 51st and broadway, meet me at 48th in 5 minutes." I won't be scared of walking when the don't walk signs are on. #1 rule of new york city, pedestrians disregard don't walk signs. #2 rule of new york city, cab drivers disregard pedestrian walk signs. at first when i got there it scared me, bbut i soon came to love it. especially when i purposly detached from my family and crossed the other way. It was a lovley 15 seconds before my mom screamed when she saw me crossing the road when a cab was coming. "mom, he wasn't going to HIT me. I'm not scared of a fucking cab going 5 miles per hour" "jesus, you already sound like you live here."
So, today is a "excited and completley ready to move to the city and start my life as an adult actress" day.
i wonder what tomorrow will be.
i really do want to go to the doctors and get medicine. i really do think i've got some sort of mental disorder.

and i'm telling you... i'm not going
Well, i decided that i like blogdrive better again. so now i have one. yay. I'll probably keep my LJ too. I have a blogging obsession. it is bad.
right now i'm so pissed off and sad, i jsut want to lay in my bed for all of eternity. i want to eat coldstone icecream: chocolate with all sorts of yummy things in it... and not gain a pound. And i'll watch lots of lovley musicals.
I want to play Eliza in My Fair Lady very badly. If i don't play that role before i die, it'll be a whole life wasted. boo.
i'm going to go see if i remember how to edit these things.
