a lame western, the westing game v 2.0, & chunky's bowl-a-rama
this made me laugh out loud, repeatedly. Skip to mah ooOh. that'd be jon shin, my crush from 2 years ago. why did i ever like him?? but he's funny as hell... didn't know that.
anyway. i went to SING! last saturday at stuy, & it was AMAZING.
SING! is stuy's HUUGE annual 4 hours-long musical production, completely student-run & directed, in which the grades compete against each other. jukay (stuy's student-body pres, who jasmine met at columbia prefrosh), hooked us up w/ a pair of free tickets for great seats. & guess what? i got to sit next to senator chuck schumer. rock! (his daughter jessica's a senior there. she's going to harvard too.)
aaaaaahhhhhh. basically, SING was awesome. the soph-frosh play owned the juniors, & the seniors owned EVERYONE. you should've seen the sets... they fuckin blew my mind away, especially since hunter's poor as shit (this year, our musical rep sets were simply duct-taped cardboard arches). it was also the last night of SING, so everyone was going all out. the seniors were the only ones to incorporate break & swing, their script was hysterical, & they put so much heart into their acting, singing, & dancing. soph-frosh was actually pretty impressive -- except for 1 scene where this ugly, fat girl stripped down to a garter belt & slunk around, crooning, like a porn queen. that kinda spoiled everything...
afterwards, while waiting for the judging (guess who won??), all hell broke loose outside the auditorium... soph-frosh tried to start up a chant, which was immediately stomped out with, "SENIOR, SENIOR SING! SENIOR, SENIOR SING!!" for 20 minutes straight. there must've been at least 1000 kids hollering, screaming, whooping & jumpin around in that lobby. it was a fuckin melee... & so awesome. for 1 brief moment, i wished i went to stuy. i wanted to be part of that. school spirit.. if only hunter had even a drop of it.. man.
then jasmine & i ate midnight snack at The Kitchen (i heart fishballs with noodle soup)... & all in all, it was a good night. it's such a luxury to fall asleep happy.
oh, & a quote from senior SING:
"your singing's crap. they clapped cus you were finished."
"YO MAMA claps when i'm finished."
