Tale as Old as Time

True as it can be.

As you might of guessed, unless you're a Disney-hater, that is from Beauty and the Beast. A classic movie and play with wonderful music, singing, and dancing.

That is, if the group does a good job.

In these circumstances, they did better than good. It is a word/phrase known as Super Special Awesome. I say that, because it was the closest thing to professional that I've ever seen done by a HIGH SCHOOL. Yes, that's right. the high school that my older sister goes to did Beauty and the Beast, and dare I say it was fantastic. Belle didn't miss a note singing, the Beast had amazing roars, Lumiere had the French accent spot on, and Gaston was hilariously conceited. When I was about six, or so, I was in a community theatre performance of the topic of these paragraphs, as a dancing saucer, of course. Anyways, that attempt at it was good, but it couldn't touch this high school production. The dancing was wonderful, and as a dancer myself, I really liked watching all the different styles. Seriously, in Be Our Guest, there was the Be Our Guest, sort of dancing, but it changed about three times. Once to a Can-Can sort of thing, and then it changed key, then it was Tango, then they slowed it down, and made it really fun to watch.
On the subject of the music, instead of the whole, CD thing, they had a pit orchestra. I knew a couple of the musicians in the pit, simply because two of them, the piccolo/flute and the bass clarinet/clarinet, are interns that come into my band class every other day, and help different sections of the band on their parts. But any how, the orchestra was able to play for what seemed like hours on end. It was fantastic. I was so inspired when I heard the bassoon solos. The sound was perfectly in tune, and had a soft, sweet, sound, that I'm not able to obtain at this point in time.

I wish I had more time to elaborate, but I have to go. So long.

Meh...

You'll never stop the Arial.
We've used it for typing since we starting writing.

^^ To the tune of We Didn't Start the Fire. The chorus part.

I know I said I would write again after my first post yesterday, but I kind of forgot. I'm very sorry for my silly mind of mine.

I'm not going to make this an actual post because if I had this looming around, people might get mad. Some people, that is.

Unofficial Rant on Justin Bieber

So, as 95% of the universe knows, Justin Bieber is the new teenage heart-throb. Girls on my bus and in my class say stuff like, ''He's so cute!'' "He's so hot!" "He's so smexy!" There are two sides to the debate about the Bieber.

I totally LOVE Justin Bieber!

or...

Someone tell this girl to get a life.

I guess that's just the way it works. Whatever. I think he's a pretty cute guy, though I'm not the biggest fan of his voice. Plus, I've never heard more repetition in one song. I mean, really! How many times do you need to say "Baby"? I should listen to that song, and count the number of times he sings that dreaded word. The best part of that song, is the Ludicrous section. ONLY GOOD PART. Though, Ludicrous doesn't have the best reputation for good, clean, songs. Our friend, the Bieber, on the other hand, doesn't swear in his songs, as far as I know. That's a good sign.

That stuff being said, I want to know how many people actually like Bieber. Comment, otherwise I won't have any idea.

Later.

Proudity

Sometime today, while I was at school, I got my 600th page view. That's pretty awesome for just over a month. I am quite happy.


Today, I was at five schools, and one Chic-fil-A (That's probably wrong, but never the less). My ensemble, a brass ensemble, and two orchestra ensembles went around to elementary schools to get fifth graders to join band or orchestra. It went really well, and after listening to a brass ensemble four times, I have Battle Hymn of the Republic playing in my head. One of the members of my ensemble, the clarinetist, was having instrument problems, but it turned out okay.


I actually have to go to music lessons soon, so I'll post again later.

Ouran High School Host Club

Yeah, I'm at 599 page views, and it's driving me up the wall. I'm watching Ouran High School Host Club, to pass the time in waiting.

I can't rant tonight, because I'm too tired, so bye.

Jake & Elwood

I'm a silly, indecisive girl, aren't I?
Yesterday, I changed my blog appearance about five times. I feel so incredibly fickle.

Time for a gender rant. 

I hate how this happens to my own sex. Girls/women are made to look insanely inferior. The stereotype is, all girls do is mess with their hair, spend time picking out clothes, and putting on make-up. Females worry about their appearance, make everything look pretty, over-think things, judge others, and talk about guys. If I were Queen of the Universe (scary thought, huh?), I would make some girls less critical, and make women more respected in all the movies in the world. There are some girls that I know that are completely the opposite of the stereotype, and they don't care about what they look like, and they don't care what others think about them. I guess it depends on the personality and the upbringing.

The young man stereotype isn't much better. It is as follows: Guys can be really self-centered, and don't think about things enough, sometimes. They can think that their friends and them are the coolest, and what they do is the best. A lot of the time, they are really REALLY care-free. 

Truthfully, I think guys have a few less apparent flaws than girls have, except for guys wanting to be "The Hero" all the time. As I mention on my Meet the Writer page, I have a bit more of a guy's personality, rather that of a girls. I try to access my inner male (because I know it's in there deep inside), so I can have a good balanced personality. The two genders by themselves are very different, but combining the personalities could have a good effect.

A lot of the time in shojo anime/manga, the main girl character will be annoying, obnoxious, rude, and hot-headed, and everyone seems to like her. Then all the guys will be really hot or really girly and 100% of the time, they end up with the main girl. It's all so cliche.

Shonen is usually the main guy is stupid (Naruto), and the supporting girl is a totally useless character that acts like she is really good at what she does even though they're not (Sakura), and the supporting guy is all emo kid syndrome and better than the main guy, which immediately makes them rivals (Sasuke). Unfortunately, that's how it works.

Bleach on the other hand, is a really different in a good way. The main guy has emotional problems (that's a given for most any main character), but is really smart (Ichigo). The supporting girls are either strong, and good at what they do (Rukia), or gentle, and train hard to help others (Orihime). The supporting guys are either ultra-smart with family and power problems (Uryu), tough with life issues (Chad), or just a flat out failure (Renji, even though he's a lieutenant. I mean, really. Has he ever won a fight? Ever?).

Let's take Death Note for an example. The three main characters (Light-male, L-male, and Misa-female) all have apparent talents. The first two have brain power, the third has an annoying abundance of charm. Most of the side characters are smart (Soichiro and Aizawa), ultra-smart (Near and Mello) or just used as toys my Light (every one else, but Matsuda). At any rate, the guys do all the work, and the girls sit around and obsess over how amazing Light is, even though he's a serial killer/murderer/punisher of criminals/Kira/destroyer of the world.

But I digress. Men are perceived to be above women, and now I see why. Girls are useless in most movie, and guys are always the hero. That's why I love The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. There is not a cliche page in the book. Plus, the main guy character is totally normal, and the fetured girl has the power the control the universe. That's what I call girl power.

For The Win

I hate to make a short post, but it turns out I don't have dance classes today.

I started following a new blog call Nai in the Blogsphere, and it turned out to be really cool. Check it out at http://www.naipace.blogspot.com/. The writing is awesome. Please read it. Now.

Cami Errant- Over and OUT.

GoJyu

Means "Fifty."

You guessed it. This is my fiftieth post! Two months, fifty posts, and 539 page views. Not too shabby.

Lucky me, we don't have school today because of President's Day. I still have dance, though. Oh, yeah. Most of you guys don't know this, but I've been tap dancing since I was three. That's over ten years. That's quite a long time. My tap class is about 45 minutes of back breaking work. My teacher (who is fantastic) works us really hard. She's so different. Our song for just tap 3 is LOVE, a song my teacher first heard in a mayonnaise commercial. That's just how it works. The finale (all tap classes) is Stars and Stripes Forever, that is played on the acoustic guitar. It's pretty interesting. I hope next year, my dance instructor will move me up to Tap 4, the highest tap class at the conservatory. There's just one move I need to perfect to get there. Pull Backs. The hardest move in the Tap 4 repertoire. I won't go into detail, for the sake of the non-dancers out there reading this.

So, a while ago I elaborated on the fact that I want to loose weight. It's true, I do. Crap, I didn't mean to rhyme. Anyway, I tried loosing weight, and it worked for a while, until Valentine's Day hit, and I got money and chocolate. Not a good combination for someone like me. Since it's over, I'll have to work the weight off until Easter, when I can take a small break. I got a big box of chocolate from my dad, and I've been eating a maximum of two pieces a day. It's soooo good. I have a small amount of restraint, though. I've been maintaining my weight, but it'll come down one of these days, I just have to work harder.

I think I change the design of my blog WAY too much. I kinda like the one I have now, because there's more color worked into the over all theme. I might keep it this way for a while. The background with all the school stuff was a little too busy, and distracted from the face that this is a blog about random crap, not just school. The squares are pretty beast, in my opinion. A whole lot of the blogs I've looked through are a lot less busy, so I cut down on the whole crazy design, and just went minimal.

Anyway, I gotta go in just a minute, so I guess I'll see you guys soon.

Squared

Okay, I just worked really hard to make my blog look good.

On the subject of blog appearence, how does mine look? With the other background with all of that crap on it, it was too busy, and looked tacky, in my opinion. I think that the squares look a lot better, and less crowded. The only thing is, it's too dark. There's not enough light colors in the background. Oh, well. I guess it'll have to do for now. At least, until I find a new background.

All I can think about now, is The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. I think I'm going to watch it again tonight. The only thing is, it's all subtitled. Very few English words in the movie. Apparently when it came out in theatres in Japan, it hit #1 on a countless number of polls. I'm not kidding. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is one of the most popular series in Japan. When the first novel came out, it sold over 4.5 million copies. In Japan alone. That's a lot of books.

My mom took my sister and I to Meijer, 'cause she needed to buy some stuff. My sister and I bought Children's Trading Cards. I got a Yu-Gi-Oh! structure deck, and two 5D's card packs. My sis got a Black Wing Dragon tin. It had five card packs, and five foil cards. How I love Children's Trading Cards.

Loreal. Because I'm Worth It.

Does anybody like snow, anymore? I don't. Our snow has been melting, up here in the Mid West. I wish it would stay this way forever. I like having spring, and fall. Summer is too hot, and Winter is too cold. I like Alaska in the summer, where the high is 60 degrees and the low is 32. In the winter, the temperature is around -40. That's pretty cold.

Okay, so once my sister get out of the shower (which should be soon) I'll duel her, so I guess I'll see you guys tomarrow, since there's no school.
