It's very late.

Yeah, I've done it. I've finally hit rock bottom in my personal blogging standards. I'm writing about my favorite actors. The fact that I am discussing this subject means that: It's very late, I have a big homework assignment, and I just saw a really good movie. These are all the case. It's midnight, I have a huge government assingment, and I just saw Alice in Wonderland and Iron Man. With Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr. Hello? They're amazing! Robert's eyes and the way he speaks, along with Johnny's unique choices in character and how he makes them shine just make me swoon.
Here's my little list of favorite actors:

Robert Downy Jr.: his eyes. Big, brown and shiny. His ability to express vulnerability, which is my favorite trait in an actor. To be able to unpeel your character is a wonderful thing, especially when the character is not yourself. Oh yeah, he was also Sherlock Holmes. The way he conveyed that character was simply wonderful. I was very jealous of Rachel Mccadams. LOL

Johnny Depp: Captain Jack Sparrow. That's a given. And he made me want to cry in Finding Neverland. That was a beautiful movie. He seems to crawl into a character with such ease, and the way he becomes each character(no matter how "unique" or "mad" they happen to be.) He amazes me. I'd love to act alongside him one day.

Gene Kelly: Have you seen this guy dance? He's incredible! If anyone was the king of tap, he was. He had such charm and class, and in every movie he showed it. And his voice. You know someone's a good singer if they star next to Frank Sinatra. *sigh* :)

Donald O'Connor: He's funny, and charming. And he can dance amazingly. He makes a good comedic sidekick to Gene Kelly ;)

Viggo Mortenson: One word. Aaragorn. *swoon* See what I mean? And those eyes. And the sword fighting. And the hair. Why do these actors have to be so old in real life? Or dead?

David Tennant: Favorite british actor. My favorite doctor on Doctor Who. He's also very down to earth and real. And funny, he has an awesome sense of humor. His acting is amazing, and he makes you want to tell the characters he plays that someone does understand them. He is SO good at unveiling the vulnerable sides in his characters! I want to give him a big hug.

Hugh Jackman: Hot only is he wolverine, he's also done shows on broadway! He has a very real sense of humor and he is an incredible actor. I wish I could of seen him on stage! And he made me want to cry when he lost his memory and didn't recognize the one he loved, who was dead. The look on his face was heartbreaking. And have you seen those piercing brown eyes. Yeah.

Jimmy Stewart: If you have not seen a movie with this man in it, you are REALLY missing out. He's wonderful. He has this unique sense of humor, kind of country with humble average guy sort of personality. My favorite movies with him in it are Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and Rear Window. In Rear Window, his fear and love for Grace Kelly's character when she tries to steal evidence from the murderer's apartment really hits your heart. And in Mr. Smith, his humor really shines when he refuses to return to his seat and end the session in the house! He does everything from read the constitution over and over to calling role multiple times. Poor guy, after two days of straight standing he passes out. :( You really need to see a movie with him in it, Especially these two.

I do NOT have an obsession. I promise! I just appreciate really good actors. And their acting. Period. ;)

ahhh so jealous.....LOL

Here I am.

Five pages.(not double spaced)

13 pages in the Gov. book.

handwritten.

Due tomorrow.(quiz grade.)

My outline in a nutshell.

On: "The Roots of and Rules Governing the Office of President of the United States"

Fun.

How far along am I? I have 3/4 a page so far. And it's 11:15.

It may seem like I'm a procrastinator extremist, but that's not the case. I've just been busy. With:

Violin/Piano/Saxophone lessons

Tap class

Studying for tomorrow's makeup physical science midterm(which took three hours may I add.)

Anyways, that's how my I have been spending my evening.

What do I wish I was REALLY doing?(just use your imagination people, I'm using mine)

• singing....somewhere.
  
• Shopping. Vintage shopping!
  
• Reading anything but my textbooks. And historical fiction *shudder*


• riding ANYTHING at DisneyWorld. Except for It's a Small World. No thank you.


• sipping bubble tea in Paducah Kentucky.


• sipping Starbucks in Manhatten


• sipping and Icee at the Pilot near my house


• petting my dog.


• Drawing. Which I never get to do anymore.


• Put videos on my iPod.


• ANYTHING!
  

But no, here I am, writing about the requirements of a president, and everything else in chapter 8. Oh yeah, and also writing this blog. ;)

Caption for photo: A dress on lulus.com that I really want. Hey, a girl can dream right?

Good dreams are hard to come by.

Uh. I don't want to go to school. Sound familiar? Besides being sick, I had a wonderful week. Why can't it stay that way? Oh well. Onward. *raises sword* to school. *falls off horse, drops sword on big toe.* Ouch.
*new subject*
I had to most wonderful dream two nights ago. Which is weird, because I was in one of the most uncomfortable bed. But anways.
I was in the movie Sherlock Holmes. I was in the middle of a car chase. Robert Downey Jr. was driving, Rachel Mccadams was in the passenger seat, and I was in the back. But instead of Jude Law sitting next to me, Johnny Depp was!(of course. It's a dream. LOL) Anyway, we were in this big car chase, and all of the sudden, we get kicked out of the car, and Robert and Rachel go one way, and Johnny and I go the other way. All of the sudden the two of us are dodging lasers and bullets and big tanks with machine guns(this is a dream, remember) for forever and we end up between these two lasers that are trying to kill us. I'm screaming and he comes to my rescue than all of the sudden we're back in the car in an alleyway. Apparently we'd either teleported or we were in our holograph selves. Go figure. Anyways, it felt pretty real to me. Robert says we're lucky to be alive and Rachel starts making out with him *sigh* but than I realize that I have Johnny! * happy dance* Though I don't make out. We just hug, because I'm a hug kind of person, and it's my dream, ok?! Change of scene. Me and Johnny are walking, and he's in his Mad Hatter costume. We're walking, and having this whole conversation about acting and that sort of thing. I'm about to say something really clever and witty when I wake up. Lovely. But that was my amazing dream. :)

Well, I'm home from Florida.

Well, technically I've been home since Monday. But I've been so tired, and sick(thank you vacation for killing my immune system) I haven't had the chance to update. But yeah, I'm back! And let me tell you, I had an amazing time. Even though four kids got sent home because of pot posession, and the room assignments for most girls were to say the least ascewed, it was a pretty uneventful trip in the drama division. It was really nice that I got to be at Disney with my family, as strange as it sounds coming out of a teenager's mouth, it made the trip better. :) Here's a few highlights:

• Doing absolutely everything Andrew and I wanted to do at Animal kingdom. Seriously. I made an agenda of everything me, Mom and Andrew wanted to do, and we did it all!


• Meeting up with Dad after he arrived from his flight and seeing Cirque De Soleil. That show was incredible. Too bad they almost "escorted" me out of the building for taking one picture. And I didn't even use the flash! It was still incredible


• Waiting in line for over an hour with Dad and Andrew at Space Mountian. Surprisingly, we didn't run out of things to talk about! And the 2 minute ride really was fun.


• Not caring if we got in trouble with Mrs. Bowen for refusing to check in at the front of the park, and instead having incredible seats for the Spectromagic parade and Wishes fireworks.


• Wishes! You know I'm a wimp. I choke up everytime I see that fireworks show. The whole thing about if you believe in you wish, it will come true kind of thing kind of hits a chord with me. And seeing Tinkerbell fly down off the castle was just the icing of the cake :)
  
• Our performence. The reason we went to Disney in the first place. Even in the warmup room we were still not sure whether our show was going to be a hit or miss. We nailed it! We had over a hundred people standing around watching us, not including the hundreds of people just passing by! On our finale, I just looked at every audience member in the eye and gave that performence my all. And the standing ovation? That's a good feeling. Especially since the people aren't paying for the performence, and they could leave at any time! Amazing.


• Watching Indiana Jones and the Lights Motors Action shows with the family. It really is more fun with your family. Especially when you get to choose what to do, and you're not constantly made fun of because the fact that you're underclass! Being appreciated is a good feeling.
  
• Eating at Emeril's in Universal Studios. Let me just say it. I did not like Universal Studios. At all. Boring! But right outside the part was this little jewel of a restraunt that just happened to be owned by THE Emeril! Yeah. And guess who treated us to lunch at THAT restraunt? Yeah, my Dad! It was the highlight of my day.


• Mom's first Starbucks expierence. And my third grande light mocha frappicino. Liquid bliss. And Mom's black and white hot chocolate wasn't too bad either ;)

So yeah, that in a nutshell was my vacation. I'm in the process of finishing my scrapbook, so I'll be sure to post pics of the book.

And now to today. I'm home, I'm sick, and I have a ton of studying for midterms to look foward to! And all I can say is, "why did I ever leave Florida?"

Lists, lists, lists....

I like to write lists. If you ask me, they are much more entertaining than writing paragraphs, or full papers. Here's one of my lists:

Things to do on the Disney trip::

1. Get the first good night sleep I've had in a while....on a Charter bus.

• Survive a night on a charter bus with the girl's choir. I'm not sure I'll get this one accomplished.



• Get into Animal Kingdom as quickly as possible, because it takes forever to actually get into the park!



• Ride the yeti ride w/ Andrew. But only in the very back. Don't you know that you go faster in the back?



• See it's a bug's life, and get startled once again from the bugs running under the seat. Why do I put my self in situations like this? Worst nightmare for a bugaphobic.



• See Festival of the Lion King, since we didn't see last year.



• Successfully make a transition from chillin' with the parents to hangin' with Josh, Brett and Kelly. This should be interesting.



• Ride the raft ride with my senior trio. And hopefully not get wet!



• Don't forget to actually enjoy my time at the park, and not get swept up in the chaos, seeing as we're only in the park for about four hours!



• Make it back to the bus(on time!!!) and get all of my sovenier shopping done at Downtown Disney.



• Have a ton of fun at Cirque De Soleil!!



• Get. A ton. Of Sleep.



• Not get nervous about our performence at DownTown Disney!



• Of course, the big one. Shine in our performence!



• Enjoy the rest of the day at Magic Kingdom



• BIG ONE: See the Wishes fireworks show that night. Get a good view, and actually get the chance to see the entire thing! And film it!



• SUHLEEEP.



• Try and have fun with both Brett, Kelly, and Josh, AND my family.



• See the Indiana Jones show, and the crazy Stunt Car show, with the family.



• Make sure that we actually have good seats at Fantasmic! Man I hope Mrs. Bowen has enough sense to realize that you have to be there TWO HOURS before!



• Ride Tower of Terror a million times with Dad and Andrew



• Get a photopass maybe? Maybe? I hope so :(



• Leave DisneyWorld with a smile and a sense of accomplishment!



• Do everything there is to do at Universal Studios, since I probably will never go back(except for the Harry Potter attraction, why oh why do you open right after we leave? Dislike.)



• Go home. And enjoy spring break!

So that's my list of things to do on the Disney Trip. I still can't believe we're leaving tomorrow night! I still wish we were going to Epcot, but I guess I just need to Let Go! But it's so hard. Doesn't anyone else realize what their missing? The Liberty Singers, Soarin', Test Track, All of the Countries, and just being there is great enough! *sigh* Oh well, I hope I go back someday!

Captions for pictures: Top: Picture I took of Cinderella's Castle. That was such a good day. We spent the whole afternoon there, and just chilled.(I apologize for using that word so many times, my vocabulary is limited today.) We weren't rushed, and we did not have anything particular in mind to do. We watched their afternoon show in front of the castle, we watched the raising of the flag, and just walked around and enjoyed taking in the sights. It was nice. :) I hope this weekend I have the same type of expierences!

Left:: Me at Hollywood Studios. haha I look skinny in this picture! That was a great day too :) Man, I just realized how badly I need to make a scrapbook! I probably just thought of this because I have so much work to do, and I'm a major procrastinator. ;)

Tuesday, leaving for Disney World tomorrow! Too bad I have to get through school first :/

I don't want to go to school. You wouldn't want to either if you had to face a Government quiz, a cranky Choir teacher, and a review for tomorrow's Physical Science test(which I just found out about yesterday.) Wonderful. Only good thing is that because of Disney, I'm missing my latin and physical science midterms! That's the procrastinator in me jumping for joy. Now I realize that now I have something to look foward to after break. Yaaaay.

Though I am happy for a few things:

Music Man Cast list: I made it!! I am a "River City Teen". As in, I get to be in the big dance scenes, and actually do stuff in almost every scene! So much better than SOM, where all we did was sing behind the audience. The only time they saw us was for maybe half a minute when we would happen to walk on stage, sing, then leave. But I'm so excited for this show! The cast is amazing. Really amazing. And there's no nun army!(you would complain too if you were 1 of 40 nuns.) Anyways...

Governor's School Handbook: The book that tells us everything about what we're doing at Gov. School.(well, with the exception of our actual classes) But it's so exciting, because Elizabeth and I have been talking about everything we're going to do while we're there! We've also been making friends on a Gov. School discussion board, which is awesome. So now I have serious spring/summer fever, and I really want to get out of school!

Disney World: We're going to, as Mrs. Bowen calls it, the happy place! I know I sound really spoiled(which I am, in a sense) but two complaints are: We're not staying in the park and we're not going to Epcot(my favorite park.) If we stayed in the park, we could stay at Magic Kingdom until 3 am, which is such a magical expierence! My other complaint is that we're not ready for our actual performence. And we only have two days to rehearse! Not practice our already learned show, but rehearse and get the order and our songs straight! And we won't be able to practice when we get to Disney, so tomorrow is our last day before performing on Friday! Agggh!

Well, enough writing for this morning, I have to get ready for...school. Fun. But I'm confident that something good will happen, because There's always a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day! In this case literally and figuratively. ;)

Caption for Photo: Just a little bit of Disney!

Monday....DisneyWorld Wednesday!

I've had a bad day. So instead of ranting about today, I'm going to post some pictures from this past Saturday :)
