This morning at 9:00 am (very very very early for me) I was roused from my bed with the voice of my mother yelling "GET UP WE'RE GOING TO SEE JOHN KERRY SPEAK!!!!" I relied with a resounding "nnnnfffa" and rose from my bed to put on my new ten dollar dress and my old $200 shoes and some blue eyeliner before heading into downtowm Boston to see the ( Read more... )

I finally figured out what that crunching noise is in Johanna when the judge is singing. It's a whip and I can't beleive they took that out of the video of the performance! That must be unbelievable. I wonder if they will keep that song in the camp version, I hope so.

i'd forgotten how much I love Sondheim. I don't really know how I could have forgotten, honestly. I'm really excited about Sweeny Todd. I think I can do an awesome Johanna. I discovered that whole other range of mine this year, I was pretty shocked. I hadn't really ever known it could actually be used, kind of like that attic that no one ever goes ( Read more... )

I gardened all day today. I have never actually gardened before so this was a new experience. I pulled up three enormous dead rosebushes. I think that was the hardest thing I've done in a really long time. that is all life it boring.

I got back from Rhode Island last night. It was a LOT of fun. My "fairy god mother" lives in rhode island (that's what she calls herself). She's my mom's friend from college actually, and in the tradition of us we always spend fourth of july there because it is the perfect place for the 4th. Jenny's house is right on the water on this peninsula ( Read more... )

To be frank he is the biggest drug addict I have ever some across to date (ex. he steals his dying mother's oxycontin to serve a purpose I don't like to think about). On the other ( Read more... )

wow. I just had a really good thing happen to me. Mother and I went to the market and the really beautiful market boy who works there - who I have secretly been checking out fully for a freaking year - carried the bags out to our car for us (he totally didn't have to do it either..no seriously we only had two bags) and we had a really good ( Read more... )

hmmm Barrett FOA? what about Barrett WEED? uhoh I hope this doesn't mean that I will forever be known as the second Barrett. I don't know how I feel about this.

I have just been informed that Erica is coming to my school in the fall. god help us. oh my fucking god, someone DO SOMETHING! JUST DO SOMETHING TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING!

went out for chinese, got two fortunes between mummy and i. It is my thinking that she handed me the wrong cookie because mine was the one with the two poky outy things pointing at me instead of the one big poky outy thing. the fortune of the one mummy gave me says: "Guard yourself against evil temptations" the one that I believe I was supposed to ( Read more... )
