And another month goes by...

Wow. It's almost been a month since my last post... yeah I'm not so good at these resolutions.

It's kinda funny though. Writing a blog is like a message in a bottle kind of thing. You kinda just throw something out there and wonder if anyone's going to read it. (not that this is a cry for help...)

I have been busy with redoing Algebra 1 (oh yeah, happyfuntimes!) I have to have it finished by Oct. 30th, then I "get" to finish Geometry before going on to Algebra 2... (yippie??) This charter school apparently thinks I enjoy math, allot. Actually, what happened was when I was transferring to a charter school from basic homeschool, I couldn't find enough math from each kind to satisfy them... therefore I have to redo a bunch to satisfy their appetites for mathly knowledge. (Mathly should totally be a word.)

Literature is pretty cool. Read a play called Tartuffe, which was pretty funny (and the whole thing rhymed!) and now we're reading The Three Musketeers. It's pretty great so far, but it's a heck of a long book. Good thing we don't have to do it all in one week, but that wouldn't be impossible for me... (Not trying to brag, but I do devour books pretty quickly..) Oh and I have to write a play for theater credit. Like I said, Literature, and books are allot more of my thing. Writing a play is hecka hard. So I decided to go with something on the easy side. It's called Cinderface, basically a modern Cinderella story with a guy instead of a girl. I know, I know. Anyways, speaking of theater...

Theater's going well, didn't get a lead (oh shock-surprise) but my character should be pretty interesting. Actually, tonight we're having character interviews... and because my character was written into the script (that's never a good sign btw) I get to make up virtually anything I want about my character (which is pretty awesome actually) because it's not like I'm on stage that often or say that much anyway. I could be married to the king of Siberia, a double agent from the Soviet, or pretty much anything I want. It's not like the audience will ever know anyways. (Mwahahaha)

This whole end-of-October deadline has kept me pretty confined to my house (being a homeschooler) which sucks. I haven't seen my friends (outside of theater and history/lit class) in over 2 weeks. (Not like they invited me to hang out anyway... but even if they did I probably would've had to turn them down. Which prospect's sadder? you tell me.)

One of my close friends, Kehau, is having a Broadway-costume themed birthday party the 30th, which should be allot of fun. Speaking of which, Halloween's coming up... I'm thinking of being Little Red Riding Hood. I have a black skirt and shirt/vest thing which is pretty cool, but would be mostly covered by my awesome red hooded cape I have. Sadly, I have no idea where I'd wear this costume as I have no plans (so far) for Halloween. I'll let ya'll know as things develop.

Well gotta get back to the books (oh joy!)

Peace, out.

Theater, brothers and HEROES!

Hey y'all!

Last night was the opening night/auditions for the theater company I'm in (Alethia Christian Theater) and I admit I wasn't that excited until it was time to go, and even until after I arrived. All I gotta say is we've got some great new directors. Crazy, insane ones. That's good. Very good. Well, we're going to be split up into two casts (noooo!) so we'll see who gets the saner female director (Becky) or the crazy male one (Ryan) either way we get Lauren (another Lauren!) for the assistant director. Speaking of other Laurens, another Lauren auditioned too. So now there's three of us.... not cool man, not cool. "Oh yeah, let's name her Lauren Elizabeth, that'll be original!" Maybe in Scotland mom and dad, maybe in Scotland. (Twas born there fyi)

Annnywayyyy... we learned some crazy-fun games with the newbies, which are fun to do, but look retarded as heck to any on-lookers (good thing we don't allow people to watch rehearsals)

We also got to take turns reading monologues with the other actors on stage for them to see who has good chemistry together and etc, and I admit, I was pumped.

Next Monday is the official auditions, where we have to memorize one of the silly monologues they put on the website and perform it in front of the directors. After that we just have to wait for the cast list to see who gets what, and who's in what cast... I wonder if I'll get a good part this time. Oh and my brothers auditioned. I wonder if we'll be in the same cast...

Speaking of brothers, it's not easy being the oldest sometimes. Especially when you're homeschooled and live with them pretty much 24/7.... And your parents go to work and you're alone with them during the day. They can be quite the pain sometimes, and they argue ALL the time now. Now that Daniel (the youngest) has begun to reach teenagehood he suddenly finds injustice in everything Jonathan does, and Jonathan being an over-teasing kinda guy well, it just doesn't work out that well.... maybe it's good for them, and that when they go out into the world they will be able to deal with this kind of thing better... but it sure isn't helpful to me, or my ears.

Oh and omg, Heroes is back!!! I didn't get to see it last night obviously, but I saw it today. Looks good!

Gotta love Sylar! ;P And Hiro and Ando :D The whole carnie thing was cool too, but I don't wanta give anything away...

That's all for now, oh! except that the whole family has an optometry appointment tomorrow, so I'm getting new glasses (Finally! I broke my old ones..) and who knows, my bros might too :P

Ttfn! (Ta ta for now!)

Up, and SanDiego

Last night I went with 2 of my friends to see Disney's Up at a nearby $3 theater. It was fun, I like that movie. Afterwards we went to Jack-In-The-Box and got food (None of us got snacks during the movie, and everyone's popcorn began to smell really good...) All in all it was a good night.

This morning my dad told me that he and my mom finally decided where we're going for our mini-vacation on Thursday. San Diego it is. San Fran. was too far for this time, and we decided against camping, so my mom thought San Diego would be fun, and seeing as how we never go it should be. Hopefully we can go to the Zoo and maybe Sea World. :)

Well that's all for now-gotta pack... ta-ta!
