My Creative Monologue for Acting:
Hey! As you may know, my name is Harry Potter, or “The Chosen One” as some may choose to call me. But don’t be fooled – I’m really nothing all that special. People just kind of assume that because my parents were so popular in school or because I have this lightning-bolt scar on my forehead that I’m the one to save us all. Yeah. Ok.
Here’s another thing I want to clear up, the whole...

Ok. So last night, I remembered at about 9:00 that I had homework to do for acting, which included:
Circling all the action verbs in my lines.
Putting slashes in my lines to show accents.
Writing all my blocking next to my lines.
Writing a character analysis.
And guess what?
My script was at school.
So I am frantically searching for my scene which I found HERE. But guess what?
It’s...
I stayed up until 1:12 last night just to finish a...
What is wrong with me? :)

Knights, ten hut!
24 hours of marching band.
I don’t want to ever hear anyone say that a Marching Knight isn’t dedicated…
...but I do have purple shorts!
Me: Hey Paul, it's Ben, is it absolutely imperative to have purple shorts tomorrow? I'd have to get them tomorrow morning.
?: Hey Ben! This isn't Paul.
Me: Oh, sorry! Clarissa must have given me the wrong number. Who is this? And sorry again.
?: You must have the wrong number.
Me: Yes, sorry.
?: Oh, and I don't know a Clarissa - but I do have purple shorts!
...zzZzz...
…or at least I wish. Marching band is eating, no, devouring my life this week leading up to states. Here’s my schedule:
Monday.
5-8pm Marching Band Rehearsal
Tuesday.
3-4pm Brass Sectional
5-8pm Marching Band Rehearsal
Wednesday.
The calm before the storm.
Thursday.
3-4pm Brass Sectional
5-8pm Marching Band Rehearsal
Friday.
3-4pm Brass Sectional
4-7pm Marching Band...
I can't believe it's over.
Three months of rehearsal. Hours of practice at home. Seven shows. Trying to figure out a French accent - it’s all over.
My last show of Beauty and the Beast was last night, and it was amazing. Nothing went wrong, and everybody was wonderful. I even hit the last note in “Human Again”, which is a big accomplishment. Victoria (Belle) told me she was going to cry, and I told her...
“That’s what they call it freshman year - best friends. Then sophomore year...”
– Mr. Escobar, talking to me and Sam about something that will never happen.
My mom is bringing me to get makeup.
Honestly never thought I’d say that. Ever. It’s for BATB, by the way.
Trick-or-treating was so much fun!
I don’t care how juvenile people think it is. :D Love you guys!

My two biggest pet peeves are:
beyondthepavement:
1. Things that are badly designed
I have worked with programs so much that whenever I see anything that isn’t designed well the first thought in my head is, “Would it have killed you to align your tab stops?”
2. People who get credit when they really don’t deserve it
Another great personal trait that I’ve gotten from digital design, and I know this one will never go away. I...
I'm gonna stop posting now,
and go read the issue of Entertainment Weekly I just got that features Glee. If I don’t come back, you now know why.

Ah, the old Sue is back!
Sue: Schuester! I’ll need to see that set list for sectionals after all, and I want it on my desk, warm from the laminator, at 5 PM. And if it is one minute late? I will go to the animal shelter and get you a kitty cat. I will let you fall in love with that kitty cat. And then on some dark cold night, I’ll steal away into your home. And punch you in the face. *walks away*
Will: Hey Sue!
Sue: What?
Will: Didn't work out with Rod?
Sue: No it did not. *Approaches Quinn* Q - take off those sunglasses. I wanna look in your eyes when I give you this piece of business. You're off the Cheerios. I can't have a pregnant girl on my squad. You're a disgrace.

^ = the number of trumpets left.
Another one is moving on Friday, to Iowa. So we’ll be losing another. When will this end? Hopefully this will be it. And I really wish my old section leader would come back - she was so much better.
In other news, my Lumiere costume still isn’t here, and it most likely won’t be until dress rehearsals begin. :\ Oh well. Yesterday the marching...
“Ok guys. Ok. We’re the trumpets. How awesome is that? I mean, look at it....”

RIP Old Trumpetline as of 10/22/09
Today one of my really good friends in the trumpetline quit marching band. I’m gonna miss her a lot, she was really good. And my section leader quit her position, so now we have a different one who, no offense to him, isn’t quite as good. I guess my friend quit because she and my section leader had a disagreement, and things for her in band had just been going downhill for a while. It...
My *real* Monologue
Still don’t know how many lines this is…
Not so, neither: but know that I have to-night wooed Margaret, the Lady Hero’s gentlewoman, by the name of Hero: she leans me out at her mistress’ chamber-window, bids me a thousand times good night,—I tell this tale vilely:—I should first tell thee how the prince, Claudio and my master, planted and placed and possessed...
I'm about to begin my search for a Shakespearean...
Wish me luck! I’ll post it here after I find it.

“He’s not gay! Just theatrically involved.”

Songs stuck in my head all day:

Anything of LLT & OYS.
Beauty and The Beast
She’s a maaaaaniac! Maaaaaniac! on the flooor.
It’s been a fun day.
Actually, wasn’t it Be Our Guest? ;)
Long time no post!
I haven’t posted anything in a long time, wow! SO much has happened since my last post. Arguments started, ended, started again. I’m frustrated, my best friend and I are in an argument (it wasn’t us in the others) and my life has been consumed by band. And we got third place out of nine bands at a marching band competition last Saturday! That was awesome. Hot, but awesome. We...
Omg.
Look at my blog. Just. Look. At. It!
Wow.
I can’t believe it. I’m sooooo happy right now, but sooooo confused. I know what I want, but I don’t know if it’s the right thing at the time…
Omg, this is adorable!!! →
