Oh my god, people, I STILL LIVE.

1) Total volume of music files on my computer?
3.48 GB

2) The last CD I bought was...
I don't remember. I don't buy CDs anymore (just download songs from library CDs).

3a) Song playing just before I started this:
Color and Light- Sunday in the Park with George

3b) Song playing right now:
Unworthy of Your Love- Assassins

4) Five songs I listen to a lot or that mean a lot to me.

I Can Hear the Bells- Hairspray. YAY MANITOU RAUNCHYNESS.

Guys and Dolls- Guys and Dolls. Just because that musical ROCKS.

Everybody's Got the Right- Assassins. Assassins is an awesome musical, and this is the strangest opening number ever. I love it.

Green Finch and Linnet Bird- Sweeney Todd. The song I can sing when I REALLY REALLY TRY.

Accidentally in Love- Counting Crows. Story of my life.

Yeah, I thought I'd actually post. What's been going on in my life:

A) Acting class-now-rehearsal is going pretty well. The script's hilarious, and everyone's hilarious in it. I went to class one day in my school uniform kilt, though, and I got a scene like this:

Me: So, what do you think of my kilt?

Boy A: ...That's so wrong. Honestly, who wears a kilt?

Boy B: *IS WEARING PIGTAILS AND AN ARGYLE SWEATERVEST*

Me: He's wearing *pigtails* and you think my kilt is wrong?

Boy A: Well, you see flamboyant people all the time, but who outside of scotland wears a KILT?

I think my inner irritation at Boy A is because he'd probably look better in my kilt than I do.

B) For English extra credit, my class was given the oppertunity to write a poem for an Earth Day Contest. I didn't participate, but I did make a smashing poem with an Earth day theme:

I drove my Hummer through the fields,
Smelling the sweet aroma of pork sausage
With my leather purse firmly at my side
I have come to strenghthen my unity with the planet

As I drove through those fields,
I saw an old woman yonder
Hemp on her chest and grey hairs on her head
Shouting at my thirteenth crash into a tree

But I know we are one and the same to Mother Earth
I drench myself in her pristine beauty
Knowing that the green is too precious to touch
I stay in my air-conditioned, gas-powered giants

As the planets dance to the tune of purity
I recognize my ties to the outdoors
I know there is divinity to be found in
All of the paper products I use

At these points I know that nature is one with me.

I'm just staring at my screen.

AOL has just informed me that Jerry Orbach, the original El Gallo, the original Billy Flynn, Lennie Briscoe...has died of prostate cancer.

I, I just don't know what to say. I dreamed of seeing him on broadway. I couldn't watch the new Law and Orders because Lennie Briscoe wasn't in them any more.

Jerry Orbach was sixty-nine. I suppose it's not technically dying young, but lord almighty, he was performing up until the last. It's surreal. When you hear him sing on CD, when you see him on Law and Order, he had this amazing spirit.

His star never faded. God bless his soul in heaven.

Anyhow, I finished decorating the Christmas tree. My mother freaked out in the middle of the process and accused me of flinging that precious tinsel instead of carefull putting it on, one strand at a time. I mean, just because it'd be totally in character for me to do that....

SPAM. Making fun of dark, "intellectual" poetry. Was reaaally long, so I cut it (in two ways)

The Blackness of My Soul by Lillith and Lilith

Deep shards of dark glass are in my heart
They itch like

My darkened soul that yearns for

a boyfriend darnit!

The moonless night stares into my eyes
Like a dark abyss

I am holding a pink, feathered
pen.

My friend is in a cult
She does not speak until December

November death; it stings like taupe

My eyes are in pain
Sparkly~~chibi~~

My soul shrinks into

the blackest waters

of the mattress

Why don't I have a boyfriend?

Cinderelephants on my feet

Bluebirds die.

The Yankees lost, and so did Kerry
losers with large salaries

Large salaries make me horny

Too many books on the shelf
Too many failed murder plots

Kingfish, get over it

Way too much Sun

It burns
I, the Buffy vampire wither
Like the Berlin Wall

I know more Yiddish than my Jewish ex

Fake eyelashes stick like my pain and NaNoWriMo

November should have 40 days
Like a Wiccan flood that drowns my being

E-diets kills

^^; I know just about the entire LJ community hates my family and I for aiding the re-election of George Bush, but can't we all just laugh together in a little political levity? Thus I give you "You Know You're a Republican When.."

The only union you support is the baseball players, because heck, they're richer than you.

Your hero growing up was Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties.

You think trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

You believe global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.

You think being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.

You once broke loose at a party and removed your neck tie.

You call mall rent-a-cops "jack-booted thugs."

You've ever referred to the moral fiber of something.

You've ever uttered the phrase, "Why don't we just bomb the sons of bitches."

You've ever said, "I can't wait to get into business school."

You answer to "The Man."

You don't think "The Simpsons" is all that funny, but you watch it because that Flanders fellow makes a lot of sense.

You fax the FBI a list of "Commies in my Neighborhood."

You don't let your kids watch Sesame Street because you accuse Bert and Ernie of "sexual deviance."

You've argued that art has a "moral foundation set in Western values."

When people say "Marx," you think "Groucho."

You've ever yelled, "Hey hippie, get a haircut."

You think Birkenstock was that radical rock concert in 1969.

Vietnam makes a lot of sense to you.

You point to Hootie and the Blowfish as evidence of the end of racism in America.

You've ever said civil liberties, schmivil schmiberties.

You've ever said "Clean air? Looks clean to me."

You spent MLK Day reading "The Bell Curve."

You've ever called education a luxury.

You look down through a glass ceiling and chuckle.

You wonder if donations to the Pentagon are tax-deductable.

You came of age in the '60s and don't remember Bob Dylan.

You own a vehicle with an "Ollie North: American Hero" sticker.

You're despise the "liberal media."

You ever based an argument on the phrase, "Well, tradition dictates...."

You've ever called the National Endowment for the Arts a bunch of pornographers.

You think all artists are gay.

You ever told a child that Oscar the Grouch "lives in a trash can because he is lazy and doesn't want to contribute to society."

You've ever urged someone to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, when they don't even have shoes.

You confuse Lenin with Lennon.

You appreciate the power rush that comes with sporting a gun.

You believe that the agricultural, restaurant, housing and hotel industries can survive without immigrant labor.

You think God hates homosexuality, but loves the death penalty.

You believe society is color-blind and growing up black in America doesn't diminish your opportunities, but you still won't vote for Alan Keyes.

You're for prayer in schools, as long as you don't pray to Allah or Buddha.

You have to believe speaking a few Spanish phrases makes you instantly popular in the barrio.

You have faith in "trickle down economics"

You think that Michaelangelo's David should be wearing boxers at the least.

You think Clarence Thomas is a good spokesman for the black community.

Which Rurouni Kenshin Character Are You?

Test Created By oronoda

It's October 1st, everyone! Twenty-five days until my birthday! And thirty days until Halloween. This is a dilemna because even though I'm probably going to have candy duty, I want a costume! Now, this year I want to really kind of get into the spirit of the original Halloween with magic, demons and the devil, so, the best ideas I've had are witch and pagan/heathen/gypsy/NON-CHRISTIAN(oooh!). But those ideas are very general, so I come to an actual point.

Who are your favorite witches/pagans from history, legend, literature, movies, etc? And where on earth do you find a gypsy outfit that doesn't look like Esmerelda from the disney movie?

"...And everyone stopped being so PC-e-ee, maybe we could live in harmony!"

I know, it's been a million years since I've updated. Anyway, debates are tonight, and instead of putting a big BUSH CHENEY banner on my LJ where all my liberal friends can see on their flists, I'm putting on...

THE NEW YORK POST DEBATE DRINKING GAME!

Democrats drink if Kerry:

*Mentions Vietnam
*Says "Bring it on"
*Begins a sentence with "The truth is..."
*Brings up his purple hearts
*Mentions WMDs
*Says "stronger at home" and/or "more respected in the world"

Democrats drink twice if Kerry:

*Rolls his eyes
*Sighs
*Invokes Bill Clinton

Republicans drink if Bush:

*Says "nuc-u-lar"
*Refers to a "pre-9/11 mind-set"
*Says "evildoer"
*Squints
*Uses "Saddam" and "al Qaeda" in the same sentence
*Talks about "turning the corner"

Republicans drink twice if Bush:

*Makes up a word
*Says Saddam "tried to kill my daddy"
*Invokes Reagan

Everyone drinks if either candidate:

*Uses the term "flip-flopped"
*Says the other is bad for senior citizens
*Mentions Bush's National Guard Service
*Mentions the Swift Boat Veterans
*Talks about "letting terrorists win"

Everyone drains the bottle if:

*Kerry sweats off his fake tan or uses the term "lock-box"
*Bush calls John Edwards "the Breck girl" or mentions "weapons of mass destruction-related program activities"
*Either brings up Nader

"Quelle joie d'etre l'idole des jeunes..."

What Harry Potter Mary Sue cliche are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

Ehehe.

You know, weird things can make you smile. Like when your best friend makes a list of why she loves different people and gives you two sentences explaining how you bloody already know all of it.

Or that you've noticed that "tough," hormonal teenage boys will yield somewhat to your will, though they never shall admit it.

Or that someone on the HP rpg I'm on is roleplaying a character named Charlene.

Song quote from Pippin written here because it was too long for the subject line:

"Somedays, he'd scowl and curse.
But then there were other days when he was really...even worse."

Ehehehe.

1. Queer Eye for the Straight Guy marathons

2. Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo from Navy NCIS

3. BBQ Chips

5. Detective John Munch from SVU

6. The image of Detective John Munch snogging Odafin Tutuola

7. The big musical Mel Brooks number on the Inquisition

8. The E 101 miniseries

CHICAGO (May 4) - Coke and Pepsi, trying to put more fizz into their soda sales, are about to launch new brands that taste like their flagship drinks but contain half the sugar, carbs and calories.

Low-carb soda. I have but one thing to say to this:

Well, I went to a bloody dance last night. I admit that the dancing was kind of fun. After a while, though, the girls smirking at me dancing and the boys staring at me and walking away kind of ruined the atmosphere, you know? And it is kind of awkward to sway to slow music while everyone is wrapped around some guy. Sigh. I even wore my black Wicked shirt and my Man of La Mancha pin to attract theater-type people to talk to. Sadly not the case. But seriously, this hormonal social conscious atmosphere was the reason I usually avoided these things. But I suppose it makes me appreciate my school friends more. And my theater boys. So I suppose that it wasn't the worst night in my life. It's not like that Friday in January where Winky died and I made the mistake of using the telephone. So I dunno.

And some icing to the cake!

Guitar update: I can play a G major chord! And C and D are coming along!

I wonder if Kourin ever got my "No Tears Past the Gate" scan...
