Congratulations!!!

Ok. I’m really bored right now, and I should be studying for a test right now that I have tomorrow, but guess what? I’m NOT!! Haha. I guess you could say that I am one of the world’s BIGGEST procrastinators. But hey, when it comes down to it, all that really matters is that I get the work done, right? Exactly!!!

I know I said in my last blog that I was going to try to blog about some of my favorite Figure Skaters in a future blog, but I lied. Well, at least I did for this blog. I’m not going to blog about that today. For some strange reason, whatever it may be, right now I feel compelled to write a “Congratulations!!” blog that goes out to some people that I know that deserve a round of it (even though I know they won't read this). By the way, all of them are for events in the past (back through January), but guess what? It's my blog, so I can do whatever the heck I want, yo! Ok. Ignore that. That was just a little bit of a crazy moment for me. If you feel like you want to read it, that’s great. But if you don’t… TOO BAD FOR YOU! Haha.

Congratulations are in order for...

Chase Peacock

Congratulations buddy on your first performance as Troy Bolton in the National Tour of High School Musical !!! I bet you were fantastic, and I am so sorry that I didn't get to see you perform. If I could have, I would have deffinitely flown out to Louisville to see this historic occasion. Finally JJ took a vacation, and you have had your time to shine in the spotlight as that oh so gorgeous basketball hunk that I know you are. Keep it up!!

Rachel Potter

You did it girl!!! You made it to the finals of Legally Blonde: The Search for the New Elle Woods! I am SO PROUD OF YOU. You will never know. I am deffinitely rooting for you when they start airing the show on MTV. You can bet that every single night that it's on that I'm throwing a party for you. I hope you get it, because you've got the voice of an angel, and I know that you would deffinitely bring all of that sass and spunk to Elle Woods, and then some. You deserve it.

MORE CONGRATULATIONS TO COME LATER!!!

A little bit sad...

I want to blog about something right now that has me somewhat sad. Ok, not really, but I guess you could say disappointed. That is about my favorite Figure Skater in the world, Evan Lysacek. He has withdrawn from the 2008 World Figure Skating Championships in Sweden due to an injury in his arm, elbow, and shoulder. Thankfully, though, it is not that serious and he has gone home to continue training.

How did he get these injuries? He was working on his triple axel during rehearsal, and he fell due to a broken blade. The blade came completely off, apparently. I am starting to get worried about him a little bit that his career as a Figure Skater is slowly coming to an end. Maybe it will last for a few more competitive seasons or after the 2010 Winter Olympics, but who knows??? I have a feeling that it will at least last until the 2010 Olympics. Why am I worried and why do I think this? Well, now for the past 3 seasons in a row, he has withdrawn from at least one event due to an injury. In the 2005 – 2006 season, he withdrew from the Grand Prix final due to bursitis and tendonitis in his hip. In the 2006 – 2007 season, he withdrew from the Grand Prix final for a second time due to a hip injury. And now, in the 2008 – 2009 season, he has withdrawn from the World Championships due to the arm, elbow, and shoulder injury.

In tribute to Evan Lysacek and the great sport of Figure Skating, in a future blog, I am going to blog about some of my top favorite figure skaters and why I like them.

Wow!!!

So as you can tell from the date of my last blog entry, I have deffinitely not kept up my trying to do at least one a day. Let's just say that I was WAY OFF!!! Right now, I am watching the second night of the premiere of Dancing with the Stars. I am not usually one to watch Dancing with the Stars, but with a line up that includes Kristy Yamaguchi and Marissa Jaret Winokur, who can resist??? I guess you can say that I also kind of like the glittery costumes, but that is another story. I am a figure skater, and figure skaters wear glittery dresses, so what can I say?

Anyway. Molly just came down and she wants to watch American Idol, so I guess we are going to try to switch back and forth between Dancing with the Stars and American Idol.

I can't really think of much to blog about right now, but I just wanted to let you know that I am NOT DEAD!!!

My Oscar Rant

Oscars, Oscars, Oscars. Where to begin? I think that the biggest snub of the night was in the Costume Design category. La Vie en Rose won for Best Costume Design, but I believe that Across the Universe should have won. Maybe I think that because I am one of the biggest fans of the movie. I happen to think that “Across the Universe” is one of the best movies in the entire world. Notice that I said “one of the” best. I just really loved the movie, and everything about it was great. Another snub that I believe is so wrong is in the category of Best Original Song. Enchanted should have won!!! Yeah, “Falling Slowly” was a good song, but I only think it was OK!!! How the hell did all 3 songs from Enchanted lose to that sad excuse for an Oscar winning song?!?!? Any one of the songs from the movie “Enchanted” could have easily trumped “Falling Slowly” from the movie “Once”.

Ok. I am just too mad that I don’t even want to talk about it anymore, so I think that I’m just going to sign off. Goodbye for now!

Yet another uninteresting title for a Blog

So I’ve finally started rehearsals for Breaking Up is Hard to Do. I already love it, and I love the script. It is one of those “musicals based on songs”. What do I mean by that? I mean that it’s one of those musicals that is based off of songs from a famous artist? Still confused??? I’ll give you a couple of other examples of musicals based on songs. Movin’ Out (Billy Joel), Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash), Hot Feet (Earth, Wind, and Fire), Jersey Boys (), Good Vibrations (The Beach Boys), and All Shook Up (Elvis Presley). There might be more, I just forgot their names. Now who’s music is Breaking Up is Hard to Do based off of? That would be the music of Neil Sedaka. I was talking to my friend Tyler the other night, and I was telling him how there were several songs that I had heard of before, but never knew who sang them. When I got the script and I saw that these songs were in the show, I was so shocked and surprised. What are some of these songs? Well let me tell you, my friend: Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen, Breaking Up is Hard to Do, Stupid Cupid, and there are several others, I just have a temporary mind blank. Do you ever get those? Boy do I EVER!!! I get them a lot on tests, and I hate it. That’s when you need it most. Yeah, there are other times that I get it, but it seems like that is. Anyway… Enough of this academic crap.

Right now, I am watching a movie. I just finished watching Legally Blonde, but now, that’s over. I just decided to put on another movie. It’s called “just My Luck”. Have you seen it? I think it’s a good movie, but I am not watching it for the whole Lindsay Lohan thing. Not even Chris Pine. I’m watching it for McFly, aka one of the most AMAZING bands in the WHOLE WORLD!!! They’re a British band. Have you heard of them? I think they’re really awesome, and you should definitely check them out when you get the chance. Speaking of me loving McFly… I am going to England this Summer for a May Option for school, and I plan to buy up every McFly CD at a store that I don’t already have. Is that too predictable?

I can't think of an interesting title for this blog

Want to know something funny? I woke up this morning and started to get ready for class by taking a shower. I go to take my shower, and when I come back and try to get into my room, and I realize that my door is locked. So, in short, I am locked out of my room in nothing but my towel. How did I get back into my room, you ask? I had to call campus safety, and they came and let me into my room. Imagine how embarrassing it was for me when the guy came to let me into my room. I was late to class, but luckily, I was only late by about 5 minutes, so nothing major. I am actually writing this blog from Biology right now, but don’t worry. I am taking notes too. Oh the glories of bringing a laptop to class!

Now, on to the good stuff. I am so excited, and cannot wait for my Spring Break trip in about a week and a half. Yes, it is the first week of March. Isn’t that EARLY??? Anyway. I am so excited because I am going on a 5 night cruise with my dad to Ocho Rios and Grand Cayman. Yeah, that’s all well and good, but that’s not why I am so excited for the trip. This cruise ship has an ICE SKATING RINK on it. I am going to go ice-skating on that rink as much as I can. They have skates there for people to use, but I am going to try to get my dad to bring my skates with me so that I can skate with my own, instead of theirs. I’ll use their skates if I have to. I am so excited about that. My father’s birthday falls on the cruise. I have talked to my mom, and I am working with her to give him a few surprises. I have already paid for it, but I am having a cake delivered to our table at dinner on his birthday, March 4th. It was really cheap. Only $8!!! I have also talked to my mom about the possibility about surprising my dad with a shore excursion in one of the stops. He already has some idea about it because he wanted to know why I wanted to know if we had anything planned on some of the islands. He has no idea though about what we’re going to do. So let that be the surprise. I’m not actually all too sure what we’re going to do either. The one I wanted to do leaves too early. We won’t be fully docked by the time that it is supposed to start. After the cruise, I go home, and have a few days there before my break. I get to spend my birthday at home. On the night of my birthday, I told my mom that I wanted to go to a place called Dave and Buster’s. I have only been to that place like once, but I love it. And the time that I went there, all we did was play games. I want to go there to eat and to play games. I hear the food there is pretty good.

The day after my birthday, I am going to the Alhambra Dinner Theatre to see my friend Matt star in a production of the Steven Sondheim musical Company. I am so excited. I haven’t see him in a show since he was Curly in Oklahoma about two years ago. So, I think you can say, that this is LONG DUE!!! I am so excited about that. And you want to know something that I think is kind of funny/twilight zoney? His younger brother and I were born on THE SAME DAY. I’m not sure how old his brother is, but that would be so weird if we were born on the same day. Hopefully, when I see him, I can get him to sing Happy Birthday to me. I’m not going to force it. I am just going to try to drop little hints here and there. Sneaky, huh? Haha.

Until next time...

Reflections on Procrastination

Why am I such a big procrastinator? I swear... These days, it seems like it's almost all I do. I keep putting things off. I don't know why. Like right now, for instance. I have a test tomorrow (really today), in Math, and I am not studying for it. I just don't have the urge to do it right now. I now I'm not doing so hot in that class and that I need to study, but I just can't bring myself to do it. You know what I need? I need a kick in the ass to get me up, moving, and proactive about it.

If I don't start something soon, it's just going to keep on going and not get any better. I learned the hard way last week about what can hapen when you procrastinate, and even though I don't have homework, it still technically is procrastination.

I need to just get my mind off of it and just go to bed right now. At this moment, I just think that that is the best thing that I can do right now.
