currently listening: beauty and the beast soundtrack
i'm practicing for my audition for our school's musical this year by singing along with this album! ^ ^ i love beauty & the beast...best romance story ever. not favourite disney because i like lion king and tarzan more, but it's pretty damn close. YESSIR. look out for a new tradits piece i'll upload (hopefully) sometime this weekend. so anyway, i'm trying out for belle because..well i look a lot like her, that's a start? XD i also can go pretty much into her range of singing, if i work hard. i need to practice singing in the open, singing louder and fuller, and walking and singing. YEAHHHHHHTHENI'MREADY. totally. totally..but i doubt i'll get the part seeing as how i'm up against people that've been singing for years and years and i only like to sing along with songs in my free time. ._. -draws circles on floor-

i'm still trying though! tryouts are...next week. shooooooooooooooooooooooot. > >;;;;;; LALALA NO, DEPRESSING THOUGHTS, GET OUTTTT OF MY HEAD.

WHASSIT TIME FOR?!??!! it's finally time for me to tell you guys about my trip to the northeast! yeah. it won't be in complete detail because i'm putting off my geography essay (due tomorrow, VAT?!)

we got in boston at about...12:20 AM. yeah, very very sucky to get off a plane that late after sitting inbetween your mom and sister (who insisted upon seeing me draw the whole time) for 4 hours while your tush got sore. then when we actually got OUT of the airport, we were supposed to have a thrifty waiting for us, but NOOOOO they couldn't get off their route. cheap people. this guy said "naw, i can't go that far lady." to my mum. so we waited for about 20 minutes until a good ol' embassy suites van came for us to take us to our hotel. guess what the hotel was? EMBASSY SUITES. heee..if you didn't catch that, i still love you anyway. so then we slept.

the next day we got up bright and early (i took a nice shower :>) and made our way down to harvard via car...we got lost on the highway so we ended up doing a bunch of loops and turns whilst getting honked at. SO ANYWAY we parked the car in a parking lot quite far away from where harvard actually was...it was creepy down there. ; ; but anyway again, we walked all about boston (mostly in the vicinity of harvard and mit) and i learned that harvard is overrated. it's very old and dusty and ivy..y. yeah. HARVARD'S NOT THAT GREAT GAIZ. mit was better because it was cleaner and had more modern buildings and all. but i suppose that's just a matter of opinion! my favourite building was the bill gates building with the funky exterior outside. on the inside, though, it's actually quite beautimous i must say! ^ ^ nice blonde wood and silver and stuff. it really works with the funky design. overall, harvard 0 mit 65932312686574. then we went to a very nice little pub next to the harvard bookstore (of course we went there too), and i had ravioli! yumm..our server was nice. james, i think his name was. cool guy, served in iraq sometime, if i'm remembering right! ^ ^ yeah. i respect vets.

THEN PROVIDENCE, after a 3 hour drive on one of the most clogged highways in the whole boston/providence connection. then we couldn't find our hotel and called them like...6 times until we had a solid idea of what we were doing. then it poofed in the place the lady told us it was, seemingly like magic! weird, i know. but the hotel was really very nice! chels and i had a handicapped room so it was bigger than mum and dads'. :B the bathroom was biiiiig! i liked it versus mum and dads' tiny itty bitty thing! yeah.

SO YEAH. then we went to the risd fair and brown and john brown's house the next day! i looooove risd cause it's right on the water. ; ;!!! it's such a pretty pretty view! and it's all hilly so it'll make for good exercise if i choose risd over mcad. now i just has to go to mcad to check it out! risd's hard to beat though. it has a view of the firewater too. they take torches and light up these logs set in the middle of the river at night on saturdays in the fall. originally it was used to get people out of their houses! it works very well; there were thousands of people there when we went. dead fish too! I WONDER WHY?! lighting fire on top of their homes. if i were them i'd be choking on smolder and burning to death too. people thought they were eating or playing. SWIMMING IN A CIRCLE MEANS NEAR DEATH PEOPLE. so yah.

the next day...i forgot. OH! cape cod! cape cod was fantastically fun. it's extremely beautiful there. ; ; holy crap. i want a house there now! it was chilly, overcast, and a little windy, which made me just oggle in joy. that's my dream environment! even though i do like the sun as well, i like a light grey sky moreso. so yeah. i had me some good ol' clam chowder and cider too to warm me up at this place called captain kidd! ^ ^ immediately i thought of kidd from ttgl, GOD REST HIS SOUL. ; ; you should've watched it by now. i'm going to start uncensoring spoil parts, so WATCH IT DAMN YOUUUU. so yeah. we overlooked the harbour too, which was absolutely stunning.

then plymouth rock. i'm not going to say anything because i didn't, and i'm not going to, get excited over a rock. seriously, i don't know why everybody gets so worked up over a rock they happened to run in to! well, i know they didn't run over it but still. dad and i joked that the pilgrims landed and the "1620" was already engraved, then they were like "HOLY @#$%!!" totally.

then we went back home; i had a window seat this time. it was most awesome! i drew 4 pictures on the plane that i plan to colour and post. BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THEM AND MY B&TB PICTURE!

all for now, i've put off my essay long enough. <3 you people!
