[4/14/09] In which Odette discusses her break, going back, wrock, and the Theater

Hey guys! I had a very awesome spring break in which I did a whole lot of nothing but at the same time a lot.

• I went shopping and got a ton of new clothes which I needed.
• I got my hair cut. (It had been five months)
• I, mostly, got my two rooms cleaned up.
• I got a whole chapter ahead on my history worksheets.
• But mostly, I sat around and did nothing...

Back to school today though. Everyone has been asking me how I will be with going back to see my ex-boyfriend and honestly I don't know. I wish I could avoid him forever but unfortunately he is in the one class I have everyday and we are both in Our Town (in fact his character is the only character I interact with). But since I know I cannot do that, I am just trying to be okay with it.

Speaking of Our Town.

Today through Thursday I have rehearsal till 5. Then on Friday it is till 4. Then we have Saturday rehearsal which is likely to be about 5 hours. Then the next week, show week, everyday I have to be at school at 5 in the afternoon. So if I do not post next week, it is because the world of Theater demands I sleep.

The Whomping Willows, JFF & the Sugar Quills, and The Moaning Myrtles announced their summer tour! And, on a Saturday, they are going to be in Vienna, Virginia! I am so excited! My friend Sarah and I are going to go as long as the parents let us! But we are super excited! Here is the video from last time we went to Vienna (The ride up not the concert):


Kate Your back! Yaaaay! (Or to use an Our Town word KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Long story) I'm not going to prom anymore. I'm a sophomore so I have to have an older date to be able to go. College in Norway! That sounds really neat! There is this college locally that if I go I can also spend two years at the University of Scotland and get a degree from both which I really want to do. And thanks that Nerdfighter is out there I know. And i love the tags

Ron Gothenburg looks like it was fun! Rest up!

Odette

Post awesome.

Hi. I'm very tired today, so I guess I won't say much, just show pictures and videos from Gothenburg. I've only uploaded one video, but if I upload more I'll show you next week ^^




The Swedish Shortsnouts play The Snape Song at the soundcheck.

The road trip was awesome. There was a lot of TP playing at the place we stayed at. Things were generally awesome and I should have done this earlier since I'm incredibly tired and word is that my father is watching Philosopher's Stone.

I'm really sorry but I don't have the energy for this :/// I think I'll try to do a bonus thingy in a few days.

Bye <3

Will the door shut in my face?

I know I've been gone way too long.

I feel very guilty, I'm a horrible person, I'm going to get the worst blogger of the year award, only it's not going to be a shiny medal, more like a crappy yellow sticky note.
When I signed up to do this proyect, I did it with all mythe enthusiasm I had (have) in my heart, I just missed one not-so-teeny-tiny crusial point: I'M A SENIOR.
And boy has high school cought up with me, or more like slapped me in the face.
I've been eating pretty badly, I'm not getting as much sleep as I should be and get depressed anywhere from 5min to 3hours about 4 times a week, so... yeah.
I dind't want to be posting in a blue mood every friday and transmit that to you, which I realize I'm doing that now, but at least I'll be once and not... say, five times.
That said, there seems to be a vagely bright spot ahead: after easter break, I only have about 4 weeks of school 'till graduation, and I say vagely becouse even though highschool will finally come to an end, a) a trimester of class, school work and examas condensed in 4weeks does not sound appealing and b) I still have to do Selectivity, which are like LSAT's, only there's one huge exam per high school class i've taken, so... 7 exams in 3 days. W00t! - NOT.

I know, I know...
I'm being overly scenic and Little Miss Black Cloud, but I guess I needit to vent a bit (and believe me when I say that 'this ' is just 'a bit').

In GOOD NEWS: After June, I'll be a free bird off to university (hopefully Graphic Design).
Oh and Ron, guess who'll be moving closer to you?
If all goes as planed (and it will), I'll be going to university in *Drumroll* NORWAY! Yay!
Now, all I have to do is learn norwegian, piece of cake :D
Oh, and Ron: most days I assure you I preffer phisycs to half the art-related classes I'm taking (I used to be a science mayor, I switched).

CATCHING UP:
*Odette: I'm happy you got snow in Virginia, I hope you enjoyed it. John's books ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN SPAIN, that sucks, couse even if I can read them in english, I can't find them anywhere :( I looooooved your french class future :D Teddy and his blue hair make me *smirk*
And I'm sorry about your fingers incident, hope they're healing right. Prom... I've never thoght much about it becouse in latin america, the don't do prom (you get a graduation party, but without the king and queen and all the boo-hah!) and here In spain, not even that. But I hope you have na awsome time and of course wear a Ravenclaw scarf with your dress :D
Hey, I did caritas too years ago, it was great :D And reading about your Happening, made me happy and sad. Happy becouse I'm glad you had an awesome time, and sad becouse I couldn't attend to my last retret with my confirmation group for financial matters :( And also, moving to Norway means leaveing my group, and they're great (although I'm the oldest), which sucks!
And think about it this way, out there in the vast world, there is an amazing nerdfighter head over heels for you, you just have to meet him when the time is right :) Chin up!

*Ron: CANADA, W00t! No braces, W00t! Gothenburg, Woot!
I'me very happy you have all these things going on :D Take my advice, enjoy every single day of it, couse later on, you won't want it to end :) Can I hear some of Solitary Snape on the web? I'd really like to. And Canada, tell all, please! What are you ging to do there (besides study)?????
Soooooo, cute guy, huh? *brow wiggle* The day I can talk about H2G2 and nerdyness in general with a guy... well, *sigh* I'll be singing 'La vie en rose' a lot XD I'm happy for you! OMG, YES! I tell all my friends tha same dark side has cookies line every time I try to get them to join Slytherin (couse you should know by now, My being a Griffyndor is all a pose! Bwahahahaha I'm a wolf in sheeps clothing :D *bares cute fangs*
Falafel, yum! Oxford, England? yay, Wrockaversary!

SIDE NOTES: I'm going to be emailing you guys throughout the month to catch up and generaly get to know you more, becouse what little I know now, I love :) Ron, do you have twitter? if so, my screen name is MARACUCHA (it's my demonym [I totally wikapedia-ed that word]). I hope you can find forgiveness in your hearts for me and my long absence, I'll try to do my best.

And thus concludes this entry of biblical proportions, I'm not doing questions today in fear of suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. I'm now off to have breakfast and catch a Ron-a-thon (marathon of Ron's youtube videos) and go read Odette's blog :)

Oh, One more thing (there's more?! - YES!)
I have a profile in www.fiveawesomeyafans.ning.com, I invite you to join :)
And I recomend this song and this one.

Best wishes and love you guys to death,
Kate

*check out the lables XD

[4/7/09] In which Odette is on Spring Break

So the biggest news is that my boyfriend broke up with me. He did it for stupid reasons like he felt guilty every time he was around me because he is a senior and I am a sophomore so I cannot date someone I could be with longer. He is just being dumb. Luckily I have all of Spring Break to get over it but I won't know if I am over it until I see him again.

Last weekend was Blackstone. It was a lot of fun. I was a co-Small Group Leader but everyone kind of forgot about the other kid. It was amazing I love all the people there so much!

I am doing BEDA/NaBloPoMo. I think on Tuesdays I will do Hogwarts 2.0 day where I post this because I really do not have time to post twice a day.

Ron I haven't had Kit Kat Bars in forever! They are quite delicious! Sounds like you quite a nice day. Yay for the anniversary of the first wrock show in Sweden!

Odette

General awesomeness.

Hiiiii! This is going to be kind of short because I'm doing BEDA (not VEDA, I changed my mind :P) and I haven't written today's post yet. Also, I think I'm giving up on Script Frenzy. I'm just not motivated. Besides, if I would make it, I would feel like I could buy a Script Frenzy-travel mug (I already have a NaNoWriMo one), but I can't really afford that. So yeah. That's my reason for not completing Script Frenzy.

If you'd like to read my blog, here it is: http://maureenjohnson.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?user=1yds1j4fmxq64

The reason I'm doing this kind of late, even though it's Easter Break and no obligations, is because I met up with JoJo, a friend who I met while I was in Oxford last summer. It was really nice, we walked around my hoods and then we went to Felinos, a pizzeria which serves the best falafel ever, and apparently makes awesome pizza as well. The word nice was repeated frequently, and we even had Peanutbutter Kit Kat, a really awesome chocolate bar I haven't eaten since we were in Oxford.
I just came home from following him to the bus stop, and now I'm enjoying a nice cup of tea.

I can't believe it's only a few days before I go to Gothenburg! It's gonna be so much fun!!!! I'll be sure to post pictures and videos here next week. I can't wait!!!!

Odette! Sounds like you're having a really awesome time, I'm glad!
But I have the cookies, they should come to me and blog! Ah, maybe they're allergic ;o

And I can't think of a question either...

(Btw, yesterday was exactly one year since the first wrock show in Sweden!)

Your Slytherin,
Ron

[3/30/09] In which Odette says "Give Yourself to Love"

My weekend was FANTASTIC!!!!!!! Happening is one of the most spiritual and moving experiences of my life every time I go. This time was better than last time I staffed and even better than my OWN Happening! I staffed again and I was a secret small group leader. On Sundays there is this foot washing and we get Bibles and that experience changed our group. There are so many thoughts about Happening that there is no way I could get them all in. So I am going to change topics sort of.

This next weekend I am going to Blackstone which is run by the same people but it is not a heavy as Happening. But this means I get to see all the people from last weekend again! I am very excited despite the fact that I will have accumulated even less sleep. (Yesterday I fell asleep five times during my Biology class, and we had a major test!)

I am thinking about doing NaBloPoMo In April. I think It would be fun and My Diary of a Nerdfighting Episcopalian Girl is slightly lonely. I am still thinking about it. I may wait until May because April is rather busy.

The play is coming together really nicely. We are off book and we have most of the scenery (which is not much because of how Thornton Wilder wrote it)

The other play, last Friday's was Okay. I think we could have used a more dedicated cast but in the end it worked out okay.

Ron: I wonder where the others went. It is kind of weird. But I enjoy blogging with you so its not too bad but I do wish we would hear from the others... It is always those dang cookies that get them! Curse you, cookies! Curse you!

I am really too tired to think of a question.

Your Ravenclaw,
Odette

Monday ftw!! :D

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii wlogpeople, it's Mondaaaaay! I really like Mondays.

Sooo. Today has been really good because I didn't have any boring lessons (even Swedish was okay), and then something exciting happened!! *overly excited*
See, I don't have to go to my English lessons because I don't get anything out of being there so I might as well do other stuff. I usually sit at a table in a corridor close to where my class has English and work or read. Also, the guy I have a really big crush on has a lesson there at the same time so that's nice. When his class ended he stood out there for a while with his friends and then he asked me about my NaNoWriMo mug and we talked about tea and then he asked me about the book I was reading (Paper Towns, although I wasn't really reading it, just looking at the things I though was exeptionally awesome). So then we talked about H2G2 (Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy). Mwih. It was nice.

After that, I hung out with my friends in the computer hall. I was mad at my friends for not having read DH. And people looked at me weird. It was fun.

Yesterday I rehearsed with Solitary Snape. I didn't think it was possible, but I'm even more excited for it than I was last week. It's just a little more than a week left! I just hope I can find somewhere in Gothenburg with free WiFi (shouldn't be too hard, I just need to get there) so I can post videos. I think I'm going to participate in the "Vlog Every Day April"-challange. And Script Frenzy. And then there's probably a bunch of NP's ("Nationella Prov", or National Tests) in April. I don't think I have to do the English one though. But still. April's gonna be a busy month! If you'd like to see me vlog, here's my youtube channel: http://youtube.com/huvudpain

Me and my friends (those who haven't read DH!!!) were talking about Hogwarts houses the other day. Me and Arvid are pretty set on our houses (Slytherin and Ravenclaw) but Jonas wasn't sure. I said that he should join me and Slytherin and they were like "You're trying to lure me into the Dark Side!" and I said "Yeah, come and join me. I have cookies", and that's true because I do have cookies. My crush likes my cookies hah.

Odette! Ahh, it seems to be only us left...so how are you? I hope the play thing went well. I'm sure it did! And yay for speaking up for Harry Potter!

I'm going to Canada because I've wanted to since I was twelve, basically x)

Do you think Harry Potter is just for fangirls? Of course I don't. Harry Potter is for everyone! :D

Hm, I don't know what to write. I guess I need to get back to my squeee'ing over this day. Heh.

Hugs on you all!
Ron
