i'm defying gravity

So this weekend was really rather dull. Most of my plans kinda just fell through the roof.

Friday there were the I-acts, for which I did makeup. Putting makeup on boys is fun, hehe! Except that someone (I think it was Ben Schillmoeller) kept flinching and it literally took me 15 minutes just to put mascara on the boy. The junior play was so funny, I nearly died laughing and I had already seen it. The other plays were okay (maybe two girls in the freshman play were good actresses but the rest were kinda just yelling, the sophomore play was good except that I knew everyone in it so it was just weird, especially Laura and Craig kissing because that would NEVER happen in real life, lol). But mostly it was fun. The cast party was so dull, the music was too loud to talk to anyone but there were only a couple people dancing and they looked like idiots, so mostly it was me, Mary Kate, and Fran sitting on Zach's couch being bored.

Saturday, I ditched set to sleep in, watched some 80s King Arthur movie with Richard Gere as Lancelot (lol) and Sean Connery as King Arthur (LOL he's too Scottish to be English), and that was hilarious. Then Craig and I were s'posed to go see Fever Pitch but then my mom didn't let me go, argh. So then we went to Pierce Chapel in Wheaton to my friend Emily's piano recital - not a recital with a bunch of first graders plunking out Mary Had a Little Lamb, it was just her. She's a junior at Wheaton in music performance so this was a course requirement. The program was basically some Sweelinck, Couperin, and Bach on the harpsichord, and then Mozart, Chopin, and Poulenc (which she played on the most beautiful grand I have ever seen!). It was awesome; my favorites were Couperin's Seventeeth Ordre: Les Petits Moulins à Vent and Chopin's preludes 3: (G major), 14: (E-flat minor), 23: (F major), and 24: (D minor). Poulenc's Novelette Two in B-flat minor was good too. After that we went to my Uncle Ted's house and he showed us his victory garden and solar electric and heating system (as you can see, he's quite a hippie). His cats are adorable, Simba and... er, I can't remember the other one but they're adorable. After that we were supposed to go to Chowpatti's, my absolute favorite restaurant, but then (argh) there was a non-unanimous decision not to go. So I read The Kalahari Typing School for Men (which is a sequel to The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency) on the way home and listened to Wicked. Of course I couldn't get a ride anywhere, and all my friends with cars were at work so I was stuck at home, goddammit.

I'm stuck playing Glinda in a little Wizard of Oz skit at the end of this month and I so do not want to do it.

In other news, I got my cell phone back, huzzah! Someone call me, I'm bored and I need an excuse not to do my homework right now.

On a final note, Defying Gravity is my new theme song (I LOVE POWER ANTHEMS), and Jackie Tyiran is an angel for burning me Wicked and Aida, among others.

That is all! Much love!
