O, Gregory!

So, I started painting Gregory today, and I didn't have enough black, or enough paint in general, so the background is much too light, and very very very thin, and you can see the canvas through it, so I'll have to redo the whole thing anyway. Sigh. Silly Alex. Umm...I have also narrowed down my solos to: Harem, a Sarah Brightman song, very cool, very Indian-sounding, reminds me of "Vanity Fair",it would be an open solo, and the end of Track 11 of "The Hours" (perhaps the most boring and painful soundtrack to listen to-ever) for my lyrical, but I would KILL to do 'What A Wonderful World' (I burned myself a copy from Job's Harem CD). It's a very pretty and almost creepy version of the classic, I like it a lot. Hmm....maybe for a Sr.Solo.....

Poo, I think its official that I most definitely do not like orchestra anymore, I feel my stomach turn and the tears forming when I think of having to practice for UND Honor Orchestra in my "spare time". I don't really like choir either, the only problem is, I do kinda like singing sometimes, like at Stable Communion, and its cool to hear myself get better, even if its not good. I like art, a lot. Oh, and if anyone can think of an original painting I could do, instead of just copying straight from photographs, I'm open to ideas for next semester...*wink, wink, nudge, nudge*

I went over to the Noel apartment the other day, and felt the happiest I have pretty much all this year. I like it there. We watched 'Life as a House' and 'A Muppet Christmas Carol' . It was fun to see Enoel and Brent, (and even Joey, again!) and I think they liked their Christmas presents, or at least were really fantastic at pretending they did, which made me pleased, 'cause I wasn't sure they would. Brent and Enoel got me 'Garden State', which I absolutely love, and is a new favorite on my list.

And yay, for Yuschenko winning the Ukranian election a while ago!!! But stupid buttface wants to bring it to their Supreme Court, for a fourth election. I haven't heard what happened about it, though, if you've heard, please comment.

Muah!

Bye...Bye...Mein...Leeeeeeiber Herr......

...farewell, mein leiber herr, it was a fine affair, but now it ooooover. Tee hee! I love dance! It is quite fun- excrutiatingly painful, but fun. 'Lion King' is very cool, I get to be the Rafiki-like storytelling....being...and The Betso gets to be the mama lion...we think. And little Josie is the baby lion, and she's a cutie. Then we have 'Mein Herr' -that is so extremely cool, I can't even describe it outside of: a whole bunch of tired, angry, dancer whores....with chairs! Aaaand, 'Diamonds..' will be fun, ignoring the fact that our arses will be hanging out and bouncing around in those costumes...and....'Ghost' is really cool and pretty.....and.....'Peace' will be pretty I s'pose, even though "I....HATE... peace on eaaarth...", um.....and... hopefully solos are cool-I really want to do 'London Calling' for my jazz, an I really like 'Anthem', but I see why Job doesn't want that one, so I will probably end up doing a Jewel song that she wrote through the eyes of a stalker (very creepy!) and whatever Job has in mind, but won't tell me, for my jazz. Sorry, this is probably really boring to read, but I'm totally excited for this year, and when I completely hate it later on, I can look back at this day, and think, "oh, how funny, I used to like dance" lol . Right.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! And thank God for Jesus, and the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Extended Edition! :) Happy Birthday, Jesus!

Gol Damn Good Fortune

Well, I got into the University of Minnesota Dance Program, unfortunately. I don't need to make a decision for a while, but that just means that I have to fill out practically every scholarship application for both schools and programs until I commit. I'm not going to make you read the pros and cons for each school, cuz that would be cruel and unusual, and would take far to long to write. I feel like whining a lot right now. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Poo. I don't like decisions. I just want to work at Disney for a while, be in James Sewell, win the lottery, and then settle down, and teach dance, teach english, or write until I die- all the while depending upon my extraordinarily patient and $rich$ husband of course.

To the young...

I really appreciate older people who think that today's youth can do something about the problems of our world and society. It's really inspiring, and comforting to know that at least someone thinks we're not doomed. The reason I say this, is 'cause I was inspired by 'Thirteen Days' to go rent 'JFK'- (but it was gone when I got there!-its never gone!- but then it came back) and at the end of the 3 hr. and 6 minute movie, at the very end, it says that its 'dedicated to all the youth, wherein whose hearts the need for truth marches on' - (or something like that) . There was a big Alex "ooooooooh"on the inside when I read that. And while watching 'JFK', I realized that the accents on 'Thirteen Days' really aren't all that awful- they are actually quite good, and yay for Kevin Costner! Such a 60's-lovin' lad he is. And I'm really excited for Art Seminar next semester- I just hope I have time to do all the things I want to do...like another Marlon, and my Jack and Bobby pic, and I think I want that one where JFK's son is saluting to him at his funeral- so sad- but yes, sorry for all the sporadic thoughts, and yay for JKRowling finishing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince!!!!!!!!!!!

Stable Communion

Hola amigos! Stable Communion is tonight, and you should all come, cuz its a fantastic opportunity to freeze your arse off, oh!, and to see Mini-George as baby Jesus. I'm not really nervous, cuz I just can't wait for it to be over, and the songs are pretty easy- but Brandon has the best verse ever, it makes me cry- it goes like this:

A shepard or teacher is what you could be,
or maybe a fisherman out on the sea,
or maybe a carpenter building things,
but who could imagine a King?

Ahh!- its so crazy it boggles my mind, cuz He was all those things! Tee hee- but maybe I'm just excited, cuz no matter how much I lie, I really am terrified for tonight- and no matter how undoubtedly adorable Mini-George is, I'm a ne'er do well with infants. Well, off to dance- wish me luck! Muah!

So it was 11:19 one night...

and Alex still had no idea what to do for her masterwork for painting. She'll look sometime within the next couple of hours, though, cuz her eyelids are getting really heavy. And she's not exactly sure why she's still talking in the third person. She'll stop. But yes, I'm slightly concerned about tomorrow- I don't think I can do and impressionist-style painting- I'm too particular about things being perfectly blended, and etc. Ok, off to war and certain doom.

Ah! I have a blog!
