Gah I haven’t updated myO for so long! *Gasp* …but I have nothing to say my mom’s taking a friend and me shopping on Sunday… yay! I can get lots of DVDs!!!! Anywho we’ve been playing with molecules in science class!! We have this four-page packet and we have to right the Lewis dot structure and skeleton for different element things then we get to make them and it’s really fun I finished all of it… I think I’m the only one in my class who has… I like chemistry it’s fun! Bleh… I just totally killed my CD player. I took it out of my backpack and the headset is snapped in two.

   SNOW!
Gah I am so friggin bored. I’m re-reading the January issue of Newtype USA while listening to Phantom of the Opera music… my CD player is evil… it died on me early today, even though I just put new batteries in it on like last Monday… at the most. Gah… I suppose I should finish my homework so I can go play in the snow tomorrow! …If the weather isn’t too bad my mom might be able to take me and a friend shopping, she’s gonna let us go to Borders while she exchanges schoolbooks with a friend at Bailey’s Cross Roads… and then take us somewhere else… I don’t really want to go close shopping or anything but I really need clothes and that’s the most likely to be what my friend wants to do so that might happen. But she might not be able to come so yea. I’m trying to fine more Full Moon sighs but I can’t find any good ones or any sites with good galleries… and I REALLY wish the next episode was up on Nebs TV… well at least they actually started showing Full Moon again!^^

Wah… I don’t feel like updating My Otaku because I haven’t in so long… lets see what happened Thursday? Er… we had to go to school even though it snowed and all the public schools had the day off. *Grumbles* well I didn’t think we would get school of anyways… though I was hopping for like an hour delay so we wouldn’t have to wear chapel clothes… no fun in the snow with high heels and skirts. We didn’t have sports on Thursday …instead another study hall. On Friday during Enrichment period we had a community service project where each advisory got a poster board and we decorated it and put a letter on it and there sending them to whatever we were assigned to… my advisory got to do the NAACP and our letter was pretty good but… the drawing wasn’t all that great. We have NAACP in blue and pink…and Eric added random dots on it… him, Lauren, and I drew random smiley faces! We have the ugliest tree ever… the trunk is good but the leaves are just… Ergh and the leaves are huge… Eric went over board with the leaves… there are random black semi-circles in the tree… then I drew a happy yellow birdie and Eric drew a blue one… it sooo was uglier than mine!^^ And uh… Taylor and I were hand models while Eric drew a handshake… then Taylor had Jessie right Abercrombie on her hands sleeve and everyone got mad at them. Underneath the tree it says, “The organization is growing!” Sally originally wrote it above the tree but she really misspelled organization and turned it into clouds which looked really ugly… but still. There’s a random building on the poster board that is the NAACP building… our poster seriously looks like it was drawn by kindergarteners not 8th graders… it’s really sad. I think we might end up presenting them in school (I mean to the rest of the school) so bleh… that’ll be embarrassing. I went to my aunt and uncle’s to spend the night yesterday and we rented Princess Mononoke!!! I was very happy. My uncle at first was annoyed we got a cartoon then he looked at the review on some movie reviewing website and it got a really good review so I was like “hah!”. And he ended up really liking it and being impressed! So yay! I’m happy I got to see it!

   To the moon! To the great white moon! To join the man in the moon! (In the moon!)
It started snowing today in school we came into English (C Period) talking about how it was supposed to start snowing at 10 and sure enough it did! Everyone in our class started freaking out and ran to the window to see… I think we were one of the first classes to realize. When we got to science (D Period) everyone was bouncing up and down and Mr. Davis had a hard time getting us to settle down… he explained how if school got out early what time it would be… all that junk which basically led to why we should try and get all our work done. He let us have a few visits to the window though!^^ We didn’t end up missing any school but during advisory Mr. Murphy spoke on the intercom thing announcing that sports would stay at the middle school and were everyone would have study hall and then how all the buses would take us to wherever we needed to go and then that we could use our cell phones to work out transportation and what to listen to about school being canceled or delayed tomorrow (Because we go by Fairfax County rules and they have Inauguration Day off). And… yea. I got the Phantom of the Opera music from Kelly today so I’m very happy! I’m listening to it right now!! And she should have Saturdays Fullmetal Alchemist episode by tomorrow! But A and E period 8th grade drama wont get to do our second play together so I’m really annoyed about that. That means I wont be in a play with all of my friends and I think they’re gonna get to do a samurai play while were gonna do some stupid mystery or something… so that totally sucks… and I though before Miss Brown had said we would be doing the samurai play with them and I was really looking forward to that… wah. We made Thank You notes today in class… every one had to right one to Doug Katsoras… and I misspelled his name… then we all signed the one for Eric Streed’s mom, Hayley Swan’s mom, and Drake …actually I don’t know which Drakes mom. And… yea I don’t wanna not do the samurai play!
Oooh! Masquerade just started! Oh and it took us over an hour to get home today!

We had a two-hour delay today because of the cold… and we didn’t have to go to fitness! Instead we had study hall and Lauren and I spent all of sports planning casting for Phantom of the Opera. We decided it would be really cool if we did that for the next play in drama and since Miss Brown gave us CDs for Just So she’d give us CDs for PotO! We even got just enough parts (22)!!! It took us forever… we originally had 21 but when we were going over people in the two 8th grade drama classes we realized we had left out one person… so we got another part and we got it so there were 10 girls parts and 12 boys parts… go us!!! Now all we have to do is choose parts! Lauren’s gonna be Christina for act two and I’m gonna be Christine for act one… we decided my class would do act one and her class do act two but of course we’d have people from different classes in each act. We are gonna have two Raul’s and Phantom’s and we decided Julian, Eric, Greg, and Drake G. will play those parts because they’re the best male singers… though we haven’t chosen who would play which parts. We also decided we’d end act one with masquerade and start act two with it… just like what we did for the Leopards’ solo in Just So. That would be soooo cool if we actually were able to do that for our next play! But I think we might be doing a Samurai play, which would also be very cool…

   I was put onto this world with a presonal quest! Something I have to find out if I'm ever to rest!
We went up to Blue Knob this weekend… which meant I missed Full Metal Alchemist, but Kelly tried to tivo-a-tize it…I hope she did get it taped… and she should also be brining me the PotO music! *Bounces up and down cause she’s getting a FMA episode and PotO music* I haven’t been on since Thursday because I haven’t been home since Thursday. Friday was the day of our play…
We were supposed to perform for the school during school and then after school perform for parents and students to come see… but CPAC started leaking because of all the rain and we couldn’t do the in school performance. Miss Brown had the option of letting us stay at the upper school after sports since we were supposed to be at CPAC at I think 5:30… that seems to early. But anyways I choose to stay. When I got there everyone was down stairs in the girls changing room playing tips …or whatever that’s called then Miss Brown came in and told us she had a room for us to go in and we tried to bring the ball we were playing with (which was one of the humps for the camel) with us but Miss Brown got mad at us for using the props. We ended up staying in one of the religion classrooms and watched some burring movie about basketball and when Miss Brown went to go order Chinese Chris and Sally started playing pass the bible… then switched to a dictionary and Chris started looking up words in it... and Brian kept reading passages from some random book he had read three years ago… Prop wanted to play Frisbee with one of the clocks so him and Brian played Frisbee then dropped the clock and Gabby started yelling at them… Drake was the only one at all interested in the movie… Brian wanted to prank call Steven and Prop wanted to go out on the roof. Everyone got board and when Miss Brown came in we convinced her to let us go out side and hunt for some sort of ball we could play with. We found a tennis ball in the tennis court but it was cold so we went inside to the main room that’s not the theatre in CPAC and closed all the doors before Brian and Prop got inside then started holding them shut so they couldn’t get in then we let Brian in then we had to go into the chapel area to hold closed one of the doors then we came back into the main area and Prop almost got in but Brian came out side and kept him out side then one of the bus drivers drove by in their own car and gave Prop and Brian a football then we came outside and when we came out Kelly (who isn’t even in drama) and Haley got there so we went inside and Sally spazzed because she was trying to pull one door open but it wouldn’t open and she thought it was locked and she had her book bag in the room then I went up and pushed the door open and she was like …oh… and then Miss Brown came with the Chinese and we went down stairs to the room by the changing rooms and ate… and Haley had some of the rice (since Miss Brown hadn’t bought hr food since she wasn’t there) and most everyone was spazzy and Haley did a cart wheel and dropped her cell phone and then more people started coming and we went into the dressing rooms to change and turned on Just So music and started scarring everyone who was coming down then everyone went into the room by the changing rooms and we did stuff and the other class ran over part of the end scene and more stuff happened then we went up to perform. Oh and Robert wasn’t there so Erick had to play the part of the Parsee and Allie and Gabby ended up singing the Parsee song… and I think Erick messed up on one of the Parsee lines and I was just thinking ‘how can you mess up when your reading the script’ and Prop did pretty bad playing the Djiin but I think a lot of people were giving him a hard time and he seemed pretty nervous and yea… and Brian knew like none of his lines… the confetti cannon went off before it was supposed to and Allie was just like ‘yea… there’s my finale’. And uh… more stuff happened. Stephanie and I were supposed to wrap the Boa around Haley when she got her long neck (she played the giraffe) but of course I wasn’t out then so I had to run out during her solo and then after it me and Stephanie wrapped her neck then I was supposed to steal the Giraffe’s briefcase but it wasn’t on stage so Stephanie and I had to run off and get it then I opened it up and was supposed to yell that it was empty but someone had left the leopards’ spots in it so I had to throw them off stage then I had to leave and come back for the elephant childs’ solo with Stephanie… and we ended up forgetting a lot of the blocking we had worked on. Anyways after the play I had to leave early (I got to miss part of clean up!) so I could go speed pack then my mom had to drive me to Katie’s for an after play party and I ended up getting there perfect timing! And Katie, Charlotte, Lauren, and Carrie were there… and I had to leave early in the morning so we could go to Blue Knob… then we came home about an hour and thirty minuets ago!

   I haven't a question or doubt. I have a most wonderful snout. Because all I have to do is blow my nose... And it can be a trumpet or a hose.
La la la la la. I had a lot to say but now I can’t think of a single thing. In fitness today we had to run for 15 minuets… of all the days to forget to bring my socks it had to be the day we had a timed run… I ended up just finishing my 9th lap when our time was up… gah. Anyways we had the dress rehearsal today. Fun. Some lady was taking our pictures to put up with our bios… mine was so bad… and another of my elephant ears fell off so I taped the ear to my hat. I’m brining safety pins tomorrow to keep my ears on and to pin up my way to huge overalls. Gah. Why must I wear overalls? Some people from the second act got to get mikes… lets see I think they were: Stephanie, Drake H, Erick, Greg, and Sally. Then they got to go up on stage and test them. Uh… other stuff happened… Stephanie and I practiced our duet and everyone said we were to quite. Well too bad. Turns out I am gonna be in the second act and I have no clue how that works. After Haley says Goombuy I get to come on I think… then I stay on till the end off the play… and I don’t know how I Have Changed goes though now it seems I’m gonna be singing it. Joy!^^ Sally doesn’t fit into the alligator costume… it’s way to big for her, I don’t see how Miss Brown ever could have thought she would be tall enough. I totally forgot to turn in my bio to Miss Brown but this is what it says:
Jess Taylor has been going to Saint Stephen’s and Saint Agnes’ School since fourth grade. Her first play was a Winnie the Pooh play in fifth grade were she played Roo. Her most recent play was the Phantom Tollbooth where she played the lead role, Mila. Jessica has also acted in the Tom Sawyer Musical. In Just So she will play the role of the Elephant Child.
So yea… I hope that’s good. We only got to go through the whole first act in our dress rehearsal which is good because I got to practice the act where I have lines but it’s bad because I’m gonna be on in the second act and will have no clue what to do. Everyone was saying random stuff like when Julian called his tail the thing that was coming out of his butt and some of the guys kept saying ‘Set my people free’ and Erick kept talking about Moses and I think both Gabby and Allie kept standing up and cheering for Drake during his solo.
