Or maybe not Eden, but still...

**WARNING: THIS IS PROBABLY GONNA BE LONG!**

Okay: So, let's see who remembers me talking about last year's fall play.

Who remembers me talking about Ben, Galen, Elissa, Jess, Dave, and D.J.?

I wanted so badly to be in other productions with these guys, because they were all cool, and nice to me too. Granted, we never talked much, but they were still nice to me ((as I was only a freshman and they were juniors and seniors, this was really big for me!)).

Well, the spring musical last year came and went; I was like "damn, missed the tryouts, but that was still an awesome show!" I even talked to some of the above-mentioned people afterwards, which was cool. It never even occurred to me that they didn't announce news of the tryouts on the morning news show.

So this year, I try out for the fall musical. I didn't make it, but it was still an awesome show. Nearly everybody I talked to afterwards said thanks for coming, it meant a lot to see you here, etc. etc. But it really meant a lot to me that they told me this, so that made me feel really awesome. So I thought, okay, I didn't make it this time, but I'll work hard and get into the spring musical!

Well, I heard today from Suzanne that the tryouts were going to be next week sometime, and at lunch the director of the plays (and my theatre teacher from last year) comes by to ask us about the game we were playing, Apples to Apples.

So, seeing my chance, I ask her about the tryouts: "I heard that the tryouts for the musical are going to be next week. Is that true?"

"Yes." ...pause, strange look. "Are you in a chorus?"

What the hell does that have to do with it? I think. Strange look right back at her. "Er...no."

"The spring musical is the Music Department's production. If you're not in a chorus, it's their rule that you can't try out."

Shit.

As soon as she left, I couldn't help it; I burst into tears.

"Alright," you think, "so what? Just sign up for a chorus and try next year."

No, you don't understand. This is the last year I'm going to see some of these people--D.J., Ben, Sketch, Jess... I wanted to get to know them better, so I could actually call them my friends...! But now, I don't know if I'll have a chance...and not being able to be in the musical with them...eh, probably sounds pathetic, but it just broke my heart.

My friends all try to cheer me up by reminding me that the musical director is known to make exceptions: "Go talk to him!"

Okay. So I get a pass from my teacher to go, and I end up catching a vocal class at the tail end of their class. ((Damn.)) And after getting over my embarrassment of being stared at by the entire class ((shit)) who do I see but Suzanne and Amber! I go to sit with them ((they were in the audience at the time)) and I quickly fill them in on the situation. Afterwards, I talk to the musical director, who's perfectly willing to let me join a vocal class in return for giving up one of my periods until the end of the year. No problem, right?

Oh, yes it was.

I have no damn free periods other than my 4th period lunch ((10 AM! Who eats LUNCH at 10 AM?!)), and according to him, school rules say I can't give up my lunch.

SHIT.

So my eyes well up with tears and embarrassment, and he reminds me that he encouraged me last year to go out for a chorus this year. Well, first off, that's not gonna help me now, and second off, I didn't know how to sign up. When I told him this, he says I never asked him.

Double shit.

Me, being a stupid ass, didn't even THINK to ask him how to fill out the damn course selection form last year! And shit, I should've!

He asks me, "Did you try out for the fall musical?"
"Yes."
"Did you make it?"
"No."
Cringe. "I'm sorry..."

So...long story short, I can't be in the musical...and other than malaprop players, I'm probably not going to be able to get to know the theatre-group better...and really, that's what I wanted. Believe me, I feel like a total stupid ass for not knowing how to sign up for chorus AND the musical.

Other crap today: The whole bottom of my backpack ripped out, so I have to find another backpack...-_-;

Everyone's trying to be helpful...they're all like "Well, you've got next year!" Yeah, but the others don't...

On the upside, there's gonna be a call for stage crew, so I'm leaping all over that when I get a chance.

I just really wish I could be in front of the stage with the others...

Sorry for the rant...I'm just upset about this right now...

*Breathe* Malaprop players on Wednesday, though, so maybe I'll be able to have fun with that...

Ugh. This has not been my morning.

I woke up around 4:30, feeling a bit funny to my stomach. My cat was lying next to me, purring up a storm. ((Not relevant to the story, but still a cute detail nonetheless.)) I remember the last time I felt like that, I got out of bed and promptly hurled upon making it upstairs.

Well, I didn't quite make it to the bathroom this time.

*WARNING: THIS PART MAY BE KINDA GROSS!*

So I stumble out of bed, thinking I'll go upstairs and go to the bathroom ((since I didn't think I was sick, just that I really had to pee or something)), but as soon as I got out of bed, I knew I was gonna hurl. So I start hurrying up the stairs, but *right* outside the bathroom door, I can't make it any further and I keel over and start puking.

Mom and Jay ((my stepdad)) hear this, and supposedly the conversation went like this:

Mom: Whatwasthat?! *snaps awake*
Jay: It's nothin'...just Carley gettin' ready for school...
Mom: She is NOT getting ready for school! It's 4 o' clock in the morning!
Jay: ...

Mom yells downstairs and she says "CARLEY! Are you okay?! What's wrong?!" And in reply, I choked "I'm fiBLAARRRGHGHAAREG".

Ugh. I emptied the contents of last night's dinner onto my hallway floor. And dammit, that had been good food, too!

So, fortunately, no school for me today, but unfortunately no Comm Tech ((waaah! We're starting a new project, dammit!)), and unfortunately no greasy burgers from Wendy's. Waaah!

Though, since my stomach's still gurgling like "buahaha, I can flip on you anytime, uahahaha", I'm inclined to ignore the second one a bit more.

Well, it's 7:16 now, and I feel a little sleepy, so I'll either be going back to bed, watching House ((yes! marathon healz allz, y0!)), playing the Sims ((my House and Wilson sims got married; how cute!)), updating my fanfic, or playing RPG maker if I have the patience.

I think I'm going back to sleep.

Bye, alls!

(3) I didn't get into the fall play, but oh well...the director told me it was nothing personal, but they didn't "need another young girl". Which made me feel better.
(4) Halloween party! XD I went as James Wilson from House, my friend Amanda went as House, and my friend Kelly went as Chase...other people who appeared:

Anyways, night, all!

bkf ((short for banjkazfan, my penname, and the one I really wish I'd picked instead of Yakkowarner ))

Alrighty...first thing I need to say about Superbad: I wouldn't have seen it if it wasn't for my Dad, so thanks to him!

Second thing I need to say about Superbad: This movie surpassed my expectations...it went above and beyond what I thought it would be like. Like WAY above. So...holy crap I'd say it deserves that B+ the Yahoo! critics gave it.

As always, SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

MAIN CHARACTERS

1. [Seth]: Seth (Jonah Hill: [link]) has no last name, shockingly, at least none that I can see. He is one of the movie's two main characters--and has the dirtiest mouth that I've ever heard! He loves porn, and has a major crush on a girl in his grade named Jules.

Seth is presumed to not be as smart as Evan, and is going to a different college than Evan and Fogell. This really seems to bother him, though he tries to pretend that it doesn't.
Interestingly enough, Seth really reminds me of this guy who lives up the street from me...they look very similar, and they both drop the f-bomb way more than necessary
If you asked me who my favourite character in the movie was, I'd have to say Seth. Seth kicks ass.

2. [Evan]: Evan (Michael Cera: [link]), like Seth, has no evident last name. He is also the only character whose parent is seen on screen--his mother has a very brief on-screen appearance. Has a major crush on a girl in his grade named Becca.

Evan feels that Seth has been holding him back all of his life, but remains his friend despite all of the stuff that he has to put up with. Evan seems to be more independent than Seth does; however, he seems to be worried about them going to different colleges come fall as much as Seth is worried.

3. [Fogell]: Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse: [link] ) is a friend of Seth and Evan’s. Early in the movie, he obtains a fake ID with the name “McLovin”, the 25-year old Hawaiian organ donor. Fogell ((who I keep wanting to call McLovin :s)) befriends two cops, Officers Slater and Michaels. Has a major crush on some chick from his grade named Nikola.

This was Christopher Mintz-Plasse’s first role, and I’ve gotta say, I really hope to see him in more! He really stole the show, and he totally kicked ass too!

Favorite quote regarding him: “Holy –beep-, Fogell’s a badass!”

4. [Officer Slater/Officer Michaels]: Officers Slater (Bill Hader: [link]) and Michaels (Seth Rogen: [link]) are two cops that are called to a liquor store that was robbed whilst Fogell was trying to obtain alcohol. Upon checking out his ID, they claim to love the name “McLovin” ( “It sounds like a sexy hamburger!” ), and take Fogell on their route with them that night. I can’t spoil *too* much for you, though

BRIEF PLOT OUTLINE ((ripped from IMDB, since I’m completely unoriginal))— “Two co-dependent high school seniors (Hill and Cera) are forced to deal with separation anxiety after their plan to stage a booze-soaked party goes awry.”

OVERALL RATING ((out of five stars))

Plot: Holy crap, I can’t believe I gave a movie that supposedly had no plot 5 stars—but I strongly feel that this movie did have a plot. It’s two co-dependent best friends who have never been apart, going to different colleges, thus separating for the first time in their lives—they decide that the best thing to do is to go to one party and get laid before college, and everything goes to hell. As my Dad put it, anything that can go wrong in the period of 24 hours does.

Characters: Oh my God, I loved the characters! They were so realistic, and very memorable…eerily enough, nearly every person in this movie (especially Seth!) remind me of somebody I know in real life. Don’t worry, it’s none of you

Soundtrack: Eh, the soundtrack wasn’t terrible…it didn’t quite grab me ((the iTunes version absolutely sucks)), but I loved Too Hot to Stop by the Bar-Kays at the beginning.

Oh yeah, and Panama by Van Halen absolutely kicked ass!

Effects: Um…none, really. There’s one pretty gory scene where Seth gets his throat slit ((he’s imagining it)), but I couldn’t tell you how the effects there were, because I was hiding my head the whole time. I’ve heard it was pretty gross, though, so I guess that’d be good for what they were trying to achieve…

Continuity: Well…a few small continuity errors, but pretty good for the most part!

Laugh-Out-Loud: I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie quite this funny—God, the first time I saw it, I was laughing my ass off, so I missed about a third of the movie But I’ve seen it again, and plan to tomorrow, so s’all good.

OVERALL RATING: Hands down, my friend.
