I'm s u f f e r i n g

        Our scene starts with a dark stage, a single light settles on the blue-haired person sitting on a stool. They look you directly in the eye, jaw working as if they are about to say something. Here they go, their mouth opens and..."Ugggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhh I just want to sleep for nine years." And there you have it. A great example of a high school student. Applause sounds, the person slide off the stool, the light dims. Life is a mess.

         This week we learned about the camera in Harmony. I thought it would be easy, it looked easy. I understood all of it for once. And then I spent an hour trying to figure it out and decided it wasn't easy. It is nice that we know how to use it now, though, it will add ~pizazz~ to our animations. In English, I learned that Michelle and I really aren't made for public relations. Our project still isn't done. This is a call out post to Michelle: please send me the facts so we don't fail English, xoxo. I learned I hate Chemistry. There is no love in the world for chemistry. Statistics gave us another project and I internally cried because I hate math and her projects are weighted with the souls of tests, aka projects are graded like tests. I almost fought everyone in history. I might still fight everyone in history. Me vs. A History Class. I bet I'll win. History is just very taxing right now and tensions are high and I am ready to fight everyone. All of them. I'm going to stop myself before I keep going on about this ugh.

           I don't want to learn anything in the future. I want to leave the plane of existence that is school and go become a sudden broadway star. Okay but for real I want to learn about 3D animation. I'm kind of realizing I'm not really built for 2D animation. Maybe my calling is 3D? I hope. I also want to learn why drama kids are really bad at deciphering hints. I mean we were in the right kind of idea but we were wrong. Our musical is not Peter Pan. It is The Little Mermaid. I see a lot of stage crew members throwing a fit over it because they think it is too hard of a musical. But I'll (i just sneezed all over my laptop. yes you needed to know.) let you in on a secret: they don't have positoovity. Yes, that is a musical reference to a musical we don't even have audition dates for yet, I'm a theatre nerd leave me alone.

        The camera frustrated me this week. My immune system has also been rather frustrating. I'm normally used to migraines, but this week one just built and built until it knocked me out on Thursday and I suffered. I woke up Friday ready to keep going but it was still there and also I was sicker so I didn't even try to continue on. I'm still suffering. I can't breathe and a headache still lingers. I'm gonna ignore it on Monday though. I can't miss school with the kind of life I live. (-forever internally sobbing about how I couldn't have just been a normal average grade and no after school commitments student-)

         Has anything made me happy? I went trick or treating with Michelle on Monday. That was good. That was the first time I've gone since I was seven. I was given a musical with a lead I may be able to land for once because I already have the trick down of how they harmonize thanks to my glory days at Yente. I'm still suffering though so honestly there isn't much happy. I just want to lay as still as possible and not move for like all the years. Uggggghhhhhhhhh. (Why is my auto-correct calling me out for theatre but not for four unnecessary gs and eight unnecessary hs?) Also this random fun fact I found out: Prince of Egypt and Shrek were being produced around the same time right? Well, Shrek was always viewed as the ugly stepchild of DreamWorks, because of well...you know why. Anyways, if you messed up on Prince of Egypt do you know what happened? You were banished from working on Prince of Egypt and instead sent to work on Shrek. "That's not true!" you claim. But oh-ho yes it IS: "As Shrek floundered, its status as the ugly stepchild at DreamWorks was reinforced. "It was known as the Gulag," said one animator. "If you failed on Prince of Egypt...you were sent to the dungeons to work on Shrek." The assignment was referred to as being 'Shreked'." (Page 58 of The Men Who Would Be King by Nicole LaPorte).

        I am really struggling with my link of interest this week. On one hand, you have this really cool pilot episode thing I found that is the bomb dot com and I love it. On the other hand, you have the first episode to the weirdest thing my own two eyes have witnessed. So what will it be? (Jefferson or Burr? We know it's lose-lose.) I'll just go with whatever is first in my youtube history. I just went through like 15 full plays of the Little Mermaid soundtrack for this, please watch it. It's great. (Wow Becky u sure r hardcore)
