brokenrecordHappy 18th birthday to me! Ah, man, I don't believe I'm 18. I still feel about 14.
I did most of my celebrating yesterday. Emma, Soan, Jackie, Jessica, Galaxy, Richard, and Andrew came to my house with food (lasagna, baked fettucine alfredo, and macaroni and cheese. Oh, and cake!) and we hung out there for awhile, and then we went to the Spectrum for a few hours and didn't really do much but it was fun. And I got many presents that I wasn't expecting. I got an iTunes gift card and a hat from Emma that matches the scarf Andrew gave me for secret santa, a really nice scarf from Jessica, Gilmore Girls Season 1 and The West Wing Season 1 from Jackie and Andrew, and a Target gift card from Richard. I think I'm especially excited about The West Wing season 1 because I saw the first 2 episodes over the summer and liked it but then right after that I went to Minnesota and then it was just chaotic when I got back because of marching band and having to do summer assignments so I never had a chance to watch any more.
Today for my birthday my parents gave me a necklace, an Amazon gift card, the first Bridget Jones movie, money on my visabuxx card, Persuasion by Jane Austen, and an iTunes gift card. So now I have a bunch of money to spend at Amazon and iTunes (I still have Emma's giftcard plus one I got from my parents for Christmas) and Barnes and Noble (from Christmas) and Target. Awesome.
I found out what musical my school is doing for our winter musical, and what the hell? They're doing High School Musical. I don't really understand this. I mean I've never seen it so I'm not like... saying I'm upset at the choice. It just seems bizarre. I wouldn't think we could get it, because it's property of Disney, right? And wouldn't it cost a lot to get? I mean, I heard when we did Beauty and the Beast 2 years ago it was super expensive because of that. And it's really recent, too. I don't know. Weird. It'll be interesting to see, at least.

Date: 2007-01-14 08:28 pm (UTC)I have this like, attraction to HSM. Although i can't exactly watch the movie over again i like the hype of it.

Date: 2007-01-15 07:22 am (UTC)It's pretty amazing how huge it's blown up. I think I'll probably watch it sometime soon, before I see my school put it on.

Date: 2007-01-14 09:33 pm (UTC)Ew High School Musical. I guess Disney made the rights really accessible because tons and tons of high schools and theatre programs have been doing it, but I have no idea why.
no subject
Date: 2007-01-15 07:24 am (UTC)I guess because it because ridiculous popular for some reason? I'm not sure, really. I haven't seen it, so I can't really judge if it's even good or not, but it just seems bizarre. I don't know, I've liked the musicals I've seen my school put on the past few years (Cabaret, Miss Saigon, Urinetown) so hopefully this'll be good too.

Date: 2007-01-14 09:45 pm (UTC)As for HSM, I watched it on tv a few weeks ago and didn't get the hype, but I'll bet your school are doing it for the reasons the person in the comment above me has said - they know it is popular with a younger audience so the students will enjoy doing it and it'll get more people to watch it.
Enjoy the rest of your birthday :o)

Date: 2007-01-15 07:27 am (UTC)Yeah, it probably will draw a lot of interest. It's also kind of weird though because our winter musical isn't our big musical of the year; our spring musical is. Our winter musical take place in a little theater with not a lot of seating and I wouldn't think they would be trying to draw as many people for it as our spring one. I don't know. It just seems all very weird to me. Hopefully it'll end up being good.

Date: 2007-01-14 11:12 pm (UTC)Also, High School Musical? That's kind of awesome. I'm still waiting for my school to do Singin' in the Rain. That's been my excuse for not trying out for years.

Date: 2007-01-15 07:29 am (UTC)I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm hoping I'll enjoy it and the show they put on will be really good. I'm waiting for my school to do Wicked (which isn't really a realistic expectation, but it's like my favorite musical, and I know the vocal teacher who's in charge of choosing the musicals knows of it and really likes it, since he's done 2 songs from it for vocal concerts in the past year).

Date: 2007-01-15 07:30 am (UTC)Yeah, there's been really huge hype over it. I haven't seen it yet, so I don't really understand why either. Hopefully it'll be good, though.

Date: 2007-01-15 07:13 am (UTC)I haven't heard great things about HSM. The fact that they're Disney characters and practically 16 years old and bouncing around kind of turns me off.
no subject
Date: 2007-01-15 07:32 am (UTC)Yeah, it looked kind of stupid to me, and the storyline sounds like something I've seen about a million different places before. But we'll see. Hopefully it'll be good. I know I'll end up seeing it anyways just to see how it is.
