I'm watching a TV show about underground cities. Very interesting. I love the history channel. Did you know there are entire tunnel systems in Portland specifically built for the purposes of drugging and kidnapping men to sell them to ships where they would be used as labor for cargo ships?z
Amy the mommy won Next Food Network Star. I am now addicted to that TV show. Its the only show I can say I have actually sat and watched 5 hours straight of. I know that makes me sound l ike a couch potato, but its very rarely that I watch TV for so long. Usually I'm multitasking. And I was then too; I was making flashcards for SAT prep.
My summer is boring. Thats why I haven't written much of anything. I miss everyone. I made a bunch of promises to do lunch and hang out or whatever wiht people, but then I haven't followed through with calling those people and actually making plans. I feel awful for doing that, because its not like what I'm doing can't be moved so I can do other stuff. I'm very sorry that I haven't called you! <33
*yawn* I'm tired. Not much to write.

Re: Goth
I've had a few days to think about this whole "goth" look thing. Honestly, I think the attention one gets by wearing black lipstick, pale makeup and dark clothes is merely "look at that freak" type of attention rather than "wow that girl is really pretty" attention. I mean yeah when I make eye contact the guys smile in a familiar way that reminds me of when guys hit on me, but there is some different element about it all.
As for identifying with the Goth subculture, I feel many intellectuals agree with their basic principles of not conforming and "rejecting" general societal values, but not everyone dresses like that. So there you go. Goth is just a fun way to dress that gets attention and has nothing to do really with being special or an anarchist. Its pretty much just a way t say f*** you to the people who dictate standard fashions and ways to dress. Ironically, lots of current fashions have come from that general punk-rock/goth subculture. So my question is how will the punkers and "goths" dress now that everyone is dressing kind of like them but with brighter colors?

Goth?!?!
Goth may just be the look for me...maybe. I tried it yesterday. Hilarious shit right there. I did it for an audition. Sprayed my hair black, wore all black, with a belt, lots of eyeliner, black lipstick. Then I went to kinkos. OMG. This dude was STARING at me the whole time...well not just staring, but checking me out in a very obvious head turning way. I ignored him at first then I made eye contact and he smiled so I smiled back. Then he kept turning around and smiling at me. Very funny. So either goths get lots of attention normally, OR I'm stunningly beautiful in goth attire.
I got called back for the audition. YAY! The second callback I've ever gotten! I hope I get it. It will be so ironic though considering the way I usually am. I am like as far from goth as it gets. Or am I?
Bet you practice Wicca or Paganism or possibly more liberal Christianity. You probably love Dead Can Dance, anything ethereal, and might be vegetarian. You probably also like to hug people.
^^ So true! I'm a Christian, if it were under my power I'd be a vegetarian, ethereal things rock my socks, and I LOVE hugging people. My friend Brendan said that the people who dress like that are just really smart, independent thinkers, which is quite true of me. So I guess I am an in-the-closet-goth. HAAAA lol.

Middle of Summer
I wouuld have titled this Midsummer, but it would have easily been confused with the play.
ANyways, here's a fun fact: because I occaisionally post things in other languages such as Portugese, Spanish, and Italian, people who speak those languages stumble on my page and leave comments in those languages. Fun stuff.
I've just been relaxing lately, diligently working on my songs and going to the nursing home daily and now working on college applications essays (for the prompts that I can find) and studying for SAT's. I got a 1990 the first time around. Its way too close to 2000 to not do it again and try to break it. I think thats the track runner inside me showing. I just want to PR! I live off of making my personal best better. lol
I'm considering re-taking upclassical voice. I lost my voice for about a week after diligently practicing non classical for a while. I must have been doing something wrong for it to go on me like that...or maybe I was just sick. I'm not sure. However, I have been listening to opera a little bit more again lately, and I remembered how much I really do like it. Opera gives me chills. I have a knack for it, so I should sharpen my skills. What I lack mainly is the musicianship to do it really well. That was my only problem for spotlight awards. I was off on my rythm. That's not to say it was some train wreck. It sounded great, but I guess certain parts weren't sung EXACTLY as they were written. My voice itself and tone, relaxation, vibratto and all that fun stuff were great. I really hope I haven't gone backwards by not preacticing my classical voice in a long time. Why can't I do both classical and nonclassical. BOOO. Oh well.
