Hokay. Last post at this username. Finally. All new posts will be at sonorously. If you haven't already friended me there, then do so.

I'm staying in L.A. instead of moving. Well, for only a few months more anyways, thanks to a little thing called the California High School Proficiency Examination. The test is in March, and if my results say I'm cool in April, I'm free as a bird and most importantly school-less and guilt-free for two months. Oh, the possibilities.

Oh, and my Medi-cal gets me free therapy. Cha! Not that I really need therapy or anything, but I like free. Free is good (and so are bananas).

The new season of Torchwood has got me excited. I didn't really see any of the first season, but I know what's going on enough what with having watched a major portion of Doctor Who. Wow. I loves me some Ianto Jones, man. Seriously. I also love when my otp (Jack and Ianto, of course) is canon, but not canon enough to be boring (which seems to happen a lot with both DW and Torchwood). I don't know what to think of Gwen and Jack, though. They made such a big deal about the kiss Jack gave her on the cheek, with the music and the shot of her face all ":O" and all the jealousy. You're going to tell your boyfriend that you hunt aliens, aren't you, Gwen. Whatever, I just want to see Jack make out with Ianto more often.

Oh whhhhyy did my father get freeee Seeee's trufffffles from work? I will die a See's chocolately truffffffled death! Woes.

And I still have to tell my dad that I want high school to ____ with a stick of dynamite in a castle far far away where no one can hear it ____ and I choose college instead. College in Lakeport, that is. Okay, I did sort of tell him before, but it was more of a "I'm possibly sort of if it works out to kinda sorta but not really and I'm just thinking about it move back to Lakeportpleasedon'thurtme." Between the two semesters I plan to move, so basically in less than two weeks. My Santa Monica High School English teacher weeps.

Consequently, this means I need to take all my finals a week early.

To Do for the next two weeks:
- memorize lines, write beats, and rehearse a one act play for Acting
- finish two books: Bless Me Ultima and Life of Pi
- write a thorough essay on how Sparticus is the definition of an epic
- make a presentation by tuesday on something film related, a 20 min lecture/showing of film clips with a group
- all the finals and stuff
- an africa map test (like, a blank map of africa, save for numbers, and we come up with all the names. At least I had heard of all the European countries when we did them, but now I think I'm screwed.)
- all the regular homework and studying and quizzes

And now for something completely different:
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4. Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together, and post it in your own journal.

a post Christmas post

I saw Sweeney Todd. I loved it.

I saw the Doctor Who Christmas special, loved it, but I just realized how straight ten is, and it's annoying (although ten is still my personal favorite).

I have claimed House M.D. as a television show I'm devoted to.

I received presents: socks, slippers, a purse, a massive book, money, and A SONIC SCREWDRIVER.

I love David Tennant. No, SERIOUSLY.

Just watch.

Sat, 01 Dec 2007 06:49:46 GMT

Ah, Christmas. Well, nothing's really going on with Christmas yet, just a SUPER CHEAP FAKE TREE we got in Latinoland.

Anyway, I have other random news. To the best of my knowledge, the upcoming movie Seventeen with Zac Efron is being filmed at my school. Every girl in school was squeeing nonstop. I'll watch it just to be like, "I went to that school, bitches." Except I think Rebel Without a Cause was filmed there as well, so I got nothing.

Oh yeah, I've been watching so much Doctor Who it's not even funny. I love it so much. I love David Tennant. Why has he been in almost nothing (excluding Casanova, which was wonderful because it was like softporn British television with David Tennant, and girls were all, "You're handsome." and he'd be all, "Yes I am. My name is Casanova. I have come from Venice. I have come to have sex with your family.")?

:DDD

Sun, 21 Oct 2007 00:38:07 GMT

I KNOW YOU'VE HEARD IT, SO I'M NOT EVEN GONNA SAY IT. I'M JUST SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY ABOUT IT.

CANON, BITCHES. CANON.

Okay, I think that's done. Wait, who am I kidding? A pairing I absolutely love is confirmed by the author! This NEVER happens! I swear, days later (maybe even weeks later), I will still be squeeing about this event. I am going to attend the Harry Potter Club at my school, and make sure everyone knows that I called it, and they (because they're probably all into het) didn't.

The only thing is, I'm starting to grieve over R/S being not so canon. At one point, R/S was at least solid fanon, and now it seems like it's very far from it. A part of me wants someone it ask her about it so I can know for sure, but then there wouldn't be any mystery or possibility about it. Sigh.

*singsong* I have a ps2, I have a ps2! Yay! And I'm playin' KH2!

In other news: Sleuth. I'm going to keep it short. The acting was great sometimes, okay others, but I enjoyed it immensely because it was the gayest gay that ever did gay and Jude Law looked so fucking sexy. This movie owns Wilde's ASS. As for plot, I was slightly disappointed, but other things made up for it.

NOOOOOOO---

I WHACKED A GOOGLE. I FUCKING WHACKED A GOOGLE.

On second thought, is this feat nearly impossible or really easy and I missed the memo?

P.S. Is there a safe way to post what I found without taking away the phrase's googlewhacked status? Possibly involving many exclamation points and parenthesis?

Tue, 18 Sep 2007 05:56:45 GMT

The audition went well, or as well as I could have hoped because I wasn't really conscious during my monologue. The audience was all blurry and stuff. I didn't screw up my lines, at least. Oh, and because I volunteered to go first and it was my first time doing a monologue in front of people ever, I get an automatic callback. I feel kinda iffy about that because I will never know if I would have been chosen on pure talent or skill, not just bravery or the ever present need to be a teacher's pet.

I changed my song. I didn't want to deal with Cole and his whole "It's delightful, it's delicious, IT'S REALLY BLOODY LOW AND then neutral THEN REALLY BLOODY HIGH AND IMPOSSIBLE--!" thing he's got going, so I changed it to "The Jet Song" or what have you and I feel better about it because the guy in the movie sucks real hard and I can do a little better than suck at least I hope so yes no maybe yay maybe nay y/n? Talking was fine, but singing? To thirty people plus one who will judge me cruelly and unusually IN THEIR BRAINS? I don't want to go first this time. I want to hear other people be dreafully godawful, so I will seem half-decent. Is that too much to ask?

Sat, 15 Sep 2007 03:31:40 GMT

Damn, Pop and Kathleen are really good at this help-your-daughter-with-her-audition thing. Kathleen's got a fantastic voice, can read music, was the lead in many musicals, and was a high school teacher and Pop's a good critic (he can spot a flaw like nobody's business). Together, they make a lean, mean, singing/acting teacher machine. Only time will tell if they will be successful with someone as stubborn as me.

I've been so memey lately.

Fri, 14 Sep 2007 23:06:01 GMT

Taken from chash.

Comment to this post saying something - anything - about me. I'll then put what you've said in my profile. This means that you can say I eat babies, and it will still go up to describe me to the world. Then post this in your journal, so we can do the same thing for you!

Fri, 14 Sep 2007 05:58:45 GMT

YOU GOTTA SEE 3:10 TO YUMA. IT'S LIKE MASTER AND COMMANDER PLUS THE PRESTIGE PLUS BIG GAY WESTERN. NO GUYS SRSLY. GAY GAY GAY. WITH LINES LIKE "WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT ME TO PAY YOU FOR?" AND MANY THINGS BEING UNINTENTIONALLY FUNNY AND RUSSELL CROWE OUT EYEBROW ACTING EVERYONE AND GAY. I HAD A BIG DOPEY SMILE ON MY FACE THE ENTIRE TIME. YES, THIS DOES DESERVE CAPSLOCK, SHUT UP.

MAN, I REALLY NEED SOMEONE WHO LIKES GAY HERE.

(On a more sane note, it was fantastically acted, with both action and extremely heartfelt moments.)

Pilfered from orangenoslide.

1. Comment with a character. If I don't know the character, or you think I don't know the character, leave a reference picture.
2. I will draw a doodle of that character in Photoshop/Paint/whatever with my eyes closed.
3. ???
4. Repost this meme in your journal and profit?

School is actually okay, surprisingly. I have Talya's number. Apparently the brit (Alex) thinks I look like Julia Stiles, which maybe isn't the best complement ever and also not the best nickname ever. As in, "How's it going Julia Stiles?" I almost replied with "Fine, and you, David Beckham?" but I thought better of it.

Hopefully I can go to the ashram tonight and not have "My Friend the Dictionary" stuck in my head the whole time.

Teenager's First Day of Sophomorehood.

Thu, 06 Sep 2007 00:15:40 GMT

Hokay, here we go.

World History: I walked to school, so when I came in I was all gross and sweaty. The first thing we did was a warm up, which consisted of answering this question: "What is the most important issue in the world today and how can we fix it?" He gave us five minutes and only wanted a paragraph. The fuck? You could write multiple books on the subject. Many people have, in fact. On a whim I choose Global Warming, which happened to be the one everyone chose. LAME.

Passing Period: The classes are roughly one (1) mile away from each other in distance. And I thought I wasn't taking a P.E. class.

Acting: I asked about eleven people where this class was located and they all gave me different answers. Finally, when I was in the right building, I asked again. The man said, "Upstairs." Sounds easy enough, right? Well, it was upstairs, but down the longest hall ever that had no classrooms until the end. There was no sign. I guess it was just my intuition that saved me and some girl who might be a future friend. Oh. The actual class? A few people were chosen to do a bit of improv and they sucked.

Spanish II: I'm fucked. He told us right from the beginning that he'll know and he'll tell us if we're one of those people who got decent grades in Spanish I, but know no actual Spanish. Plus he compared teaching to baseball.

English 10 HP: The teacher is cool. The students behave alright, but not great. I expected more from an HP class. Also, I heard one girl saying, "Oh my god, have you read Harry Potter? I loved the seventh book. It was, like, so good. Oh my god. Like, my friend, she read all seven books in one day! Like, oh my god, isn't that crazy?" No, that's not crazy, that's MAD SKILLZ or lies.

Algebra II: BORING AND UGLY IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE.

Chemistry: " "

In addition to all that, a vast majority of the students have the bodies of models. They also have designer clothing (including pants that would be tight on a five year old), sunglasses bigger than their faces, and perfect hair all the time. Despite running around the school all the time, they never look bad. The school work doesn't even matter, and the teachers seem to know it. They didn't discuss the curriculum. They signed us in, scared us into thinking grades are a matter of life and death and we don't need lives or happiness, told us what materials we needed, and made us do busy work. Well, it felt like busy work, but they assured us it would come up on the many, many tests we would be having. On the Chemistry syllabus, there were multiple pages in very tiny print that listed all the standards we would have to know. On the first day our Chemistry teacher discussed how we need to remember everything we're learning now and to take our standardized tests seriously. ON THE FIRST DAY. It makes me wish I was old enough to take the G.E.D.

I'm reading The Chosen, and I'm wondering: Why is Reuven so boring?

Excerpt: "I lay back on the lounge chair and stared up at the sky. It was a deep blue, with no clouds, and I felt I could almost touch it. It's the color of Danny's eyes, I thought. It's as blue as Danny's eyes. What color are Billy's eyes? I asked myself. I think they're also blue. Maybe they're not blind anymore, I thought. Maybe both sets of eyes are okay now. I fell asleep, thinking about Danny's and Billy's eyes."

Are teenagers really this dull? Do normal boys really compare other boy's eyes to the colors of uninteresting landscapes? More importantly, do boys who play baseball do this?

YEAH, I ALREADY MOVED.

Sun, 26 Aug 2007 07:31:28 GMT

OKAY, we're back in business. I had a bit of a "OH NOES!!!1!!!one!! NO INTARWEBZ" scare, and then I remembered two vital things about connecting to the internet: a) turn the modem on, and b) look on the bottom of the modem when you need information of any kind.

I love SF, but today, it SUCKED. I was forced to do touristy things, I had a headache, and my feet died halfway through. Plus, I was thinking it would be a good change going from Lakeport to Santa Monica, but I was big-citied out after running 'round San Francisco all day, possibly stopping once for three seconds to chill. Thank god I don't live in the heart of L.A., or my brains might have 'splooded. I've already unpacked everything though, which is nice.

btw, VIRGIN AMERICA IS LOVE. At the last minute, my mom's all, "Hey daughter, it's only 50 bucks to upgrade you to First Class." "OMG MAMA I LURVE YOU." See, in First Class, everything is free (including movies, TV, a big collection of music), and when they ask you if you want a snack box, what they really mean is: "HEY YOU WANT SOME MINI GOURMET FOODZ PLUS MINI CREAM PUFF DIPPED IN CHOCOLATE LOLZ?" Everyone was super-duper nice, too. Best part? Flights are cheap.

In other moving news, there is the smallest chance that I might not have my own room. Sara-Rae has the options of either moving to Atlanta to be with her sister, sharing a room with me for a semester, or getting a job and moving out. What if she stays and makes my life a living hell? *emo tear*

I don't wanna read Fast Food Nation. I've already seen Super Size Me. I know fast food is really, really bad and I will never eat it. I don't need to know exactly how bad, exactly how many diseases you can get, and exactly what makes me want to vomit. I JUST LOVE REQUIRED SUMMER READING, DON'T YOU?

Tue, 21 Aug 2007 07:13:53 GMT

MEME. Totally stolen from achtung_baby without being tagged. I am ashamed.

1. List 5 celebrities you would have sex with without even asking questions.
2. Put all of them IN ORDER of your lust for them. (5 - 1, 1 is the hottest.)
3. Say which movie/show/thing it was that hooked you.
4. Supply photos for said people.
5. Tag five people!

I seem to fangirl much more over male celebrities more than female celebrities for some odd reason.

5. Ioan Gruffudd

I believe I saw Fantastic Four first, but it really started when I saw him in Wilde playing one of Oscar Wilde's lovers. After watching every single episode of Horatio Hornblower, he deserves a place on this list.

4. Edward Norton

I blame The Illusionist, now that I think of it, it was Keeping the Faith that came before. In any case, I think he's pretty and hunky AT THE SAME TIME.

3. Hugh Jackman

The accent, Wolverine, the Tony, the hair, the list could go on. I first saw him in Kate & Leopold.

2. Clive Owen

I think I realized how much I loved the way he looked when I was in Pairs airports. He was in these commercials for some cologne and the TVs in the airports played it all the time. I squeed every single time. Before that it began with Inside Man. I suggest you watch Bent. King Arthur wouldn't hurt either.

1. Alan Rickman

Whenever I see him in movies, every time I see him come on screen, I have the impulse to say, "ALAN RICKMAN ALAN RICKMAN ALAN RICKMAN!" in a really high-pitched voice. I fangirl uncontrollably over him. I saw him first in Galaxy Quest. I went, "HE'S OLD, HE'S GRUMPY, AND I THINK I LOVE HIM."

Meh, not gonna tag. Tag yourselves if you like.

-but it's magic, Sonora, your chubby stomach is MAGICAL.

Tue, 14 Aug 2007 02:36:42 GMT

Hey, I'm sonorously now. Well, not quite yet, but I will start friending ya'll.

I went to Mendocino. That was fun, except for the jagged rocks wanting to meet my face and succeeding. No no, not on. At least it looks like I acquired it in a bar fight, not because I took a spill.

I'm getting my hair cut and dyed black tomorrow. If it looks fab, I'll post pictures.

I have a case of teenage angst. I swear I'm all, "I feel cranky and pubescent today, and I don't know why! I'm going to take it out on people I like!"

oh, nicky!

Sun, 12 Aug 2007 18:40:20 GMT

Oh, right- I saw Avenue Q when I went to SF. It was amazing. So hilarious, clever, crude, and heartfelt all at the same time. The guy who played Princeton and Rod was lovely (or maybe it's because Rod is my favorite character), but the woman who played Gary Coleman could have been my personal favorite. I definitely recommend it if you're cool with the occasional crude jokes.

Plus, I feel like I know the Bad Idea Bears.

Sonora can't decide~!
