A Very Merry Unbirthday to You!

Aah, the joys of being the Mad Hatter. Dance Gallery is putting on the musical, Alice in Wonderland! (Just guess who I am...) It Thursday, July 2nd, at 4:00 and 7:00 at the Orpheum Theater. COME! It should be a great show. (Plus I wear a rockin' hat!) It's only about an hour, so it will be perfect for younger kids!

A very merry unbirthday to you!
To you!
A very merry unbirthday to you!
To you!
It's great to drink to someone and I guess that you will do.
A very merry unbirthday to you!

And always remember, you only have ONE birthday each year, but you have 364 unbirthdays!

HAPPY UNBIRTHDAY!

RENT

I can finally say that I have seen the movie RENT! I have the CD, so I knew almost every word to every song in the movie, but I had never actually seen the movie or broadway show. I have conquered another goal! WHOO HOO! The main goal on my mind is completely cleaning the room my sister and I share (well it's mine during the school year, but my sister's back from college for the summer). This is a GIANT task. We found toys in our closet I played with in 4th grade. That was SEVEN YEARS ago. Wow. That shows how clean my family is!

This is Ashley and Kupono doing their amazing Wade Robson routine from So You Think You Can Dance! I loved this dance, and I was sad that Ashley was eliminated this week! It's very unique (they are being crash test dummies!) but it is genius!

Victory!

Well, I am finished with my Harry Potter project I gave myself. I have watched all 5 movies, and then read Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The ENTIRE series. It me like 3 weeks to finish, but I have done it. It's true I've seen the movies before and read the books, but not all of them in order (for the most part).

Whoo! I'm done.

Now the youtube video of the day. Ever since I heard this song on Taking the Stage, I have loved this song. Enjoy "Breathe You In" by Mia Carruthers.

CATS!

I am completely in love with the movie musical Cats. I seem to find that most people find it completely strange and useless (okay I admit, at first people dressed up as cats singing and dancing does seem a little strange) but it is truly a masterpiece. When I was younger, one summer I was completely obsessed with the musical. I swear practically every week I would check out the movie from the library, and when I didn't check out the movie, I would check out the CD's of the music! I was that obsessed. But now, I haven't seen the movie for a few years, and I tell you, that I still believe it is purely genius. I think the obsession started after my mom and I saw it at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater near Minneapolis one year, and then a few years later, I saw it again when it came to the Washington Pavillion. I believe live performances are always the best way to see theater, but this movie does the musical justice.

A Random Search

Okay so I was just randomly searching through other people's blogs (at the top of your screen now, it should say next blog, click it. See where it takes you.) A few were in Spanish, one in Greek (I think) and I even found one someone pretending they were Malcolm from Macbeth and their latest post was how his dad was murdered. http://kinglygrace.blogspot.com/ Wow. I tell you, some people have too much time on their hands.

But then I came across this cool one called "I Snap Fotos." I think it's a fairly new blog but the I really like the photos on it. Each one is completely different but they all are really cool. If you have a spare moment of your life, I would check it out. http://isnapfotos.blogspot.com/

I feel the need to dance at every moment. When people say exercise makes you happy, they're not lying. I can tell that since I haven't been at Dance Gallery for a major chunk of time out of my week, I am way grumpier than I have ever been during the school year (and trust me, I know I wasn't all happy and smiley because of SCHOOL.) I need to get back to dance! At least there's a class on monday and friday next week. I guess I'll try to be happy by just thinking about how much fun it will be! Only six more days...

Well, the youtube video for today is one I have recently come across. It's quite funny, and I hope you enjoy it. If you look back to the video from yesterday, they resemble each other in costume. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgWVYxkNVH0 Enjoy a small 5 minutes of your life.

Hmm...

Hello, people. I have done it. I have joined the blog world. It seems mysterious, like you're not sure who's going to read this, if anyone at all, but yet it's a way to connect to people, let them see a deeper you than they see in person. I hope maybe by reading my blog you'll see the many shades of me : happy, funny, calm, crazy, immature, mature, completely insane and completely sane. Well, maybe all but the last one. Anyway, I'm just sitting on my couch, watching a Gilmore Girls, writing my first blog post that probably no one will read, but, still I feel like I'm sharing something. With each post I'll try to share something new about myself and a favorite youtube video. Maybe someone will get a kick out of it.

I actually like randomly searching the dictionary to find some words that seem like they shouldn't be words. Example: Fop - A man that is too interested in clothes.
