Sure, 18 is the legal "adult" age in the U.S. But really, you can't do anything except buy cigarettes and other things that are essentially not good. (Really, why would you buy cigs in the first place? And then there's the fact that a lot of people are already smoking even before they're 18, so really what's the point?)

Just thought I'd post something on here, in case some people were just intending to give me money (which I wouldn't mind, but there are things that I actually want/need). ()

Le Wishlist
1. the Sarah Bareilles CD "Little Voice"
2. Jason Mraz CD "We Sing We Dance We Steal Things"
3. the piano book of Sarah Bareilles music (I want to use "Gravity" for the talent show next month.)

Things I Need
1. a laptop (not urgent, but I'll need one for next year anyway)

Hahaha, not very long lists, which may be a good thing. I'm not really that materialistic. My room is just messy. *sigh*

Oh, also, I went up to JMU this past weekend for my Musical Theatre audition, which I think went okay. The only thing is that my actual application for JMU isn't complete yet, on account of things that my guidance counselor should have sent already. I hope that we (Mr. Waite and I) can get this worked out because I really liked JMU (even if it is 4 hours away!).

Here's a link to the note I wrote on Facebook about my experience. I hope anyone who wants to can see it.

Help me hatch my dragon eggs!

(Yes this is what happens when I have lots of free time. Even though I actually don't.)

I meant to type a note Monday night, but felt like I would say silly things because I was pretty annoyed.

And I'm still a little annoyed. But not as much.

Okay. Here's a pros and cons list of Prescott (yes, he lets us call him by his last name only).
Pros
--he teaches each vocal part in class
--he can play piano well
--he has a thoe (I can't really think of another pro... :/ )

Cons
--he limits the "fun" (more than Nult did)
--he has a scary smile (scarier than Nult's)
--he does the little thing where he stops talking and just waits for the talking people to shut up
--he wants us to be hyper and peppy for every freaking rehearsal
--he insults the students and comes off looking and sounding like he really means it
--he's naive if he thinks that we don't need Saturday rehearsals

Not that he isn't a good director. And he has gotten things done. But it's just...too weird, too different. Gah...

nota bene: The first chorus show (with our freaky patriotic theme) will be October 21. Come to see the campiness. Come to see friends. But come especially because Prescott's charging us about $700 to go to New York in January, and we need the money to make the price go down. D:

On a better, more fun note, the Hurrah Players' production of "Seussical the Musical" opens on October 10. I am having so much more fun with them than I expected to have. I have made new friends and am gaining a bunch more experience with performing and rehearsing than I am with chorus. And I am taking a tap class with Hurrah and learning loads there too. (:D

I hope all of you are having good times, wherever you are.

Remember: October 10 through the end of the month on weekends - go see "Seussical"
Remember: October 21 - provide some moral (and monetary) support for PAHS Chorus

(sorry for the rant. lol)

P.S. I also forgot to mention that we have this chick choreographer who's been giving us "dance moves" for our "show choir." I know last Monday night was a complete waste of time, but at least we finished the first piece Monday night (with only 4 more dance rehearsals).
