Finals

Everything is completely crazy here right now. We should have earlier prepared to do the finals at a time when the weather doesn't seem like such a problem. In my opinion, we should have even done them last week. That way us students at least had a chance of knowing what we got. It's all much more complicated than it should be. I'm fairly stressed, I'm going bizzerk.
The other side of life is great. Brian and I are falling for each other more and more everyday.
Last night I got scared, because I realized how naive I am and I don't want to be like the rest of my family...but I'm so close to adulthood. Ugh.
Blah, I don't know what else I want to talk about. So I guess I'm done on here.

Love/Hate

The image on this girls shirt will hopefully be my first tattoo which I will most likely get over the summer. I'm fairly excited about it and I can get it in the fashion that I want for only $15. It's very exciting for me. I've wanted one since I was probably 10 they're just beautiful works of art.

More and More Mrs. Mooney and Doris

Everyday this week I have play practice. Everyday this weekend we are preforming. The other day I took on another role in the play, Doris the Laboratory Technician, who has a small part but it's a little complicated for me because I have to speak in a regular voice and you're not supposed to be able to see my hair. I tried very hard to get this hair red and now that it is, I'm not allowed to show it my first time on stage...but how do I hide it? I can't just wear a hat out there.
On a good note, I'm getting along well with my choir and play director, that man is incredible. My days go on and on and on, but having him praise us at the end of the night is such a great boost of confidence. Today I'm going to go down there if I can get out of one of my classes and go paint props and people..okay so maybe not people but it would be fun, am I right?
I actually ate a little bit this morning, and now I'm hungry. I ate so I wouldn't be hungry at lunch, things just don't work out so well for me. Things are going quite well for my boyfriend and I, we spend just about every free moment together. I'm almost scared because things never work out this good for me. Seriously, I hate this moment because I'm not around him.
Sincerely, Rie

DONE DONE DONE DONE DOOOOOONNNNNE!!!

Sweet and Holy Jesus!!! I am FREE!!!!...from the research paper that is. I can't believe it's all over...hopefully I don't lose anything tomorrow/tonight or I will die. Like no kidding I will pass out and possibly never wake up. HELP ME REMEMBER!!!!! My Voom isn't here today and I don't know what to do without her..I need somebody to rejoice with!

MacBeth, Cont.

So anyway, witch number two (Real Name: Alexa) had this wicked little smile that just set her off as evil, which was what she was supposed to be, and of course with how outgoing I am and all I let her know, in front of everyone.Plus she was really pretty, which isn't witchy unless you go by the fact that she could be seductive. The quality of the play was high, and if they ever are in need of someone who isn't so superstitious, I WILL TOTALLY BE HERE!!! CALL ME GUYS!!!!! Okay now that I got that out of my system, I loved how they modernized the weapons, the dress, but how they did that without messing with the dialogue was yet again incredible. My favorite thing about Shakespeare is something that one of the actors stated afterwards which was that there isn't really any directions that say "drops sword", "falls to floor", or even "exit UL". He made it so that you have to know what you're saying because the dialogue states most of what you're doing, and of course I love the way Shakespeare wrote.
(by the way, the backstage experience was as well incredible)

MacBeth, to be continued

This was probably the most exciting thing I've been involved in, and been able to attend. I aspire to go to many more of these shows the rest of my life. Although it was shorter, than the book, from being cut to bits and pieces, but it was simply amazing as they did it. The man that played MacBeth was an extremely gorgeous man who had an incredible jaw-line. (just for your information, I am obsessed with jaw-lines)
To be continued.

Mrs. Mooney.

My school is doing a play and in it I'm an Irish Landlady. I'm having a great time so far with it and we haven't even done the read-through. I'm still working on getting the accent down right without speaking with it all the time. Which I almost did last night...on drive through at work. The customer laughed at me cause they could tell I was having some sort of difficulty. Speaking of work, I put my two-weeks notice in...and now I've got a job at Hardee's where (at the moment anyway) my boyfriends brother works. This is awesome because I've loved that kid forever. He was like a brother to me before I even knew Buff. (it's a codename don't worry)
I'm excited bout all that's going on. I just hope my new employment doesn't mind me needing so much time off because I'm involved. Knowing that I got this kind of role in the play makes me just wonder what the musical will be like this year. Here in about a half hour I'm going to be getting drained by the vampires who want to store my blood in a storage shed. It's all fairly fun. Ah-leev is beautiful!!!!!
Peace to all, and all that great stuff.
Hope that I'm entertaining you well.
Sincerely, Rie.

Rocky Horror Picture Show!

So Tonight I get to go see the Rocky Horror Picture Show!!! I'm sooo ecstatic! You have no idea how much I love going to it. I get to be myself by dressing up, because I personally believe that everyday should be Halloween. I don't like the person that I am, so I'd love to be someone else everyday. Tonight, however, is one of my few opportunities. A few friends and myself are going, maybe we'll forget who we are. All of you have a fun weekend, I promise that I will.

To my best friend

Friends and family,
to me all the same.
Where family's the blood
That's kept me alive
Friends have been there
When I needed to cry
Their ears for hearing
Your hands for helping
Seemingly knowing better than I,
What it is that I need
The one that goes back
She's closer than blood
All the time, together
Through the tears and fears.
Everything shared
Not a thing left behind
To my best friend dear
I'll love you for life

and on.

Your Heroine

Chorus:
I live to be the heroine in your life
To fight all the battle, cause you're my kryptonite
I yearn for you, but you're just out of reach
I lean so far until I fall to my, defeat.

Verse1:
Saved your life, like you did mine
I bow down, thought I did fine
You lift me up, I fall again...you say
'til you can breathe, I'll hold you, forever...

Repeat C

Verse2:
I think about it, breathe in deep
Wrap my arms and plant my feet
I owe you all, my life is yours...
(male voice preferred)
Can I keep holding you?
You felt so warm in my arms..

Revised C:
Now that I"m your heroine forever
All your battles will just disappear, cause you are mine
I live for you, you're my helping hand
Forever in my arms, yet...
You're my only defeat

Hate the Way I Don't Hate You

So what? I put two videos on my blog...it's ok though I do have to blog double :-D
This video is an excerpt from "10 Things I Hate About You" a beautiful movie, that goes along with "The Taming of the Shrew" which I'm still in the process of reading. This poem is enough that it could make me cry. I myself write, but I'm not sure if you'll see much of it on here. Plus, if it weren't for my mom I probably wouldn't have put this video up because I just never thought about it. So Great BIG thanks to my momma "Yay! Go you!" Thanks for being my reminder. Hope these videos satisfy your needs.

You were Romeo I was a Scarlet Letter

So this video might seem like something nobody would really expect from me unless you're in my class and you've heard me going crazy bout it...and it really doesn't seem like it would be on here, but in my opinion this video is perfect. It's about being with you're forbidden love and having the time of your life. Much like the story of that which is Romeo and Juliet. This song is beautiful and the video fits it quite perfectly.

I'll be trying to get another one on here, and excerpt from "William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet" (Yes, the one with Leonardo Di'Caprio, sorry Mrs.Teach) This movie is a version of the original story, holding the same umm..I'll call it Era of Speech because I can't think of something better but they talk with the same dialogue but it's set in a newer time period. I have yet to watch "Shakespeare in Love" but until I do the Leonardo version does just fine for me.

The Resoning for a Shakespeare Obsession.

Being here in a world with such "problems" makes no sense to me, so why not curl up with a good book (or tragedy) and learn about some real life problems. Tragedies, comedies, poetry, he was a work of art as a whole. I strive to have lived in the time of his art. To fall in a forbidden love, and die for such if it means it. I can completely get away in his work, I could be in love with him, but life is starting to be too much for time with him. I apologize to you, William, I feel as if I'm leaving you out.
