Re-cap on the year:
January: I went thrifting with tia (yay for my green skirt!), played karaoke rev 3 with alyssa for like 5 hours, had a jam session on the guitar with becky, watched fun movies and shared embarrassing stories with my NC peeps, and watched the wizard of oz with phil! I also.. well, I played karaoke rev 3 for like 5 hours by myself too.
February: It was just so fun to have no idea where you are and then make your way back home
March: riday night was also pretty good, our energy was a LOT better, but we had a few technical mishaps, such as Kate's weight breaking in Song of Love and her mic going off during Shy, plus Bihl messing up the words of Song of Love
April: I got a band together and we jammed a lot. And by jammed I mean saw my mom's middle school play "The Lady Pirates of Captain Bree". So anywho, we were giving ashley a ride, but my dad wasnt ready to go until like 3:45. So me, regina, claire, and ashley hung around and looked for him, had some bathroom and braille reading issues, and tied ourselves together with an outstretched lei and ran down the hall
May: IT IS OVER!! HOLY. SHIT. I CAN'T BELIEVE AP WORLD HISTORY IS FINALLY OVER! No more spodek! No more notes! No more failing tests! No more preparing for the exam! I'm done!
June: I also can't believe Carlos and Tony came twice. I'm gonna miss this show so much. We literally built our set from the ground up, and it was our baby.
July: You are punished by everything. You can't leave, you can't talk to people, you can't do anything you like because it is punishment. So the only thing you're stuck with is sitting alone, crying, and hating.
August: Afterwards, I was telling my mom about how she was so different than anyone I'd seen. It was like she's some ordinary person you'd meet, and then they just turn out to be extremely talented and blow you away.
September: I've been through a lot, and have been torturing myself about the same thing for much too long
October: But feelings change, and people change, and people don't change. One of the best evenings of my life kinda turned sour.
November: The "RENT" movie came out last wednesday, and my mom took me and Ashley into the city to see it.
December: I kinda feel like my roles have gone downhill since last year, and I have to wonder what I gotta do to fix that...

I've finally decided to make this Journal "Friends Only". That means that if you are on my friend list, you can read my journal. Otherwise... nope! So, even though I'll have a link to it available in some places, you won't be able to read this journal unless I like you.
This decision may only be temporary, but for now thats the way its gonna be.
So, if you're just DYING to read my LJ, but you don't have an account, guess you'll have to ask me personally, or make your own account (its free!).
I've had one too many complaints like "Why don't you go write about it in your LiveJournal!" or "Why do you always bitch about stuff in your LiveJournal?!"
Well, now you don't have to worry about it.
PS: If it bothered you so much, why did you come here in the first place?
I love you all
- Eliza

"All That We Needed" - Plain White T's |
] |
Did you ever feel like there's some unwritten law that you shouldn't post like 2 times in one day? It's weird, I usually wait for a few days at least before I post, but whatever, thats beside the point.
Man, I've been so up and down lately. All summer I had my mind on one thing, and now everything's changed. I can at least say I'm getting pretty sick of being single. Its like.. once you've had something once, its addicting and you need it again. I'm dying for a relationship... I think. See, this is my problem, I can't figure it all out. There's definitely something missing though. Maybe its just the warmth of being held and feeling safe and happy, or maybe I'm actually lonely. I'm not entirely sure.
I'd like to give it another shot.
I might be a fool
And you might be one too
Maybe we're all that we needed

Modern, Cool Nerd
52 % Nerd, 86% Geek, 26% Dork | For The Record:
A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.
Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!
Congratulations!
THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST |  |
My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 45% on nerdiness | | You scored higher than 99% on geekosity | | You scored higher than 33% on dork points |

"So Happy" Into the Woods |
] |
It definitely hurt. Today I was hurt more than I have been in a while. For those of you who were wondering what I was crying about all day, it's because I got an extremely sucky role in the play. Not even the fall play. The one act play. I don't mean to say the one act play is bad. All of the actors are extremely talented. It just felt so shitty to not even have a character next to my name. As a junior. I don't know, it's selfish, and I feel awful feeling like this, but I think its totally degrading that the three of us got these roles.
So after much moping and weeping all day, I finally decided to drop the role and do stage managing for Pygmalion. I'm really excited about this because I get to be really involved. That was the main problem, its not like I'm sad that I didn't get a role that I wanted, its just that I knew I wouldn't be as involved. I wouldn't feel right. So now I get to not only be super into the play, but I get to try something new.
My dad and I were talking about the opportunities I'll have now. He said I should take the time to "build up my craft". So my parents have been like uber supportive and are gonna try and help me balance out the stage managing with some voice lessons, dance lessons, and possibly art classes. Plus, I get to help my mom direct her middle school show. So what started out being the shittiest day I've had in while, turned out to be an okay one.
Sorry to everyone who didn't know what the hell was wrong with me
Thanks to everyone who helped me through today
Congrats to everyone in the plays!
It will be an interesting fall not being onstage.

Look at your LJ “interests” list. If you have less than 50 interests, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five interests, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five interests, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of ‘em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly what it is about these things that interests you so much.
cake - well this goes for a few things: the band cake, which i love, actual cake, which i love more, and my friends and i have this name for ourselves that uses our initials, so we're called cake. I love cake a lot.
ddr - is so freaking fun. even though im not that good, its addicting and good exercise.
drawing - I've always always always loved to draw. I could draw pictures of animals before I could write or speak. Its just something that I do all the time, and its one thing that i'm actually sort of good at.
incubus - my first favorite band that I became like really dedicated to. love their music, lyrics, EVERYTHING!
kingdom hearts - my favorite video game of all time. rpg video game + disney characters = eliza verrry happy. its also the first video game i beat all by myself without a guide or help from my brothers :-D
new zealand - the madrigal ensemble i'm in went here on tour my freshman year. it was the most amazing experience of my life. going halfway across the world to a beautiful country with more than 20 friends and no parents. i want to go back there so badly!
pownage - haha ok, chris used to say this all the time, and it drove me NUTS. eventually i learned to accept it, and just call it plain silliness that totally deserves recognition.
sunrises - allright, so i've never actually watched the sun rise, but i've always wanted to. like at YPI, such a great thing to do, but we never actually SEE the sun rise. oh well. its a pretty word anyway.
vivaldi's four seasons - really awesome music, basically. i just love to listen to it and visualize each season. so cool.

| I finally understand the meaning of vacation |
[07 Sep 2005|04:05pm] |
You leave, and you come back and start from where you left off. No longer is vacation a large gap between years of school, but a mere few weeks off until you start up again.
First full day of school today. I gotta say, I was a little nervous starting out my first US History class with a kid asking "Is this world history?" halfway through the discussion of the course syllabus. Oh well. Least I can count good grades and little work. The rest of my classes were pretty good. I'm also a little scared for AP Music Theory (but not in the sense that its too easy). Turns out - I can't do three things at once! Who knew? But Dan says it will get better, so I guess it will. In latin, I'm surprisingly a bit ahead of most kids in the class (weird). And in English - well, Benedict is amazing.
HOLY CRAP AUDITIONS FOR PYGMALION TOMORROW!!!! WTF?!?!
anyways, thats all

Well, its the last saturday night before school starts. I've got nothin to do and no one to hang out with. Ah well.
It's been a good summer.
I've been through a lot, and have been torturing myself about the same thing for much too long.
Now that school's starting up again, I've got a lot of things on my mind, and a lot of decisions to make in the future, perhaps near future. We'll see how everything turns out. It's like I thought I knew what I want, and now I just don't know.
My list of goals to reach this year (accomplished all of them last year! lets hope for the same!):
1. Get into madrigals
2. Get into the fall, winter, and spring play
3. Get awesome grades (and shame on me if I don't)
4. Get driver's license
5. Pass SATS
6. Learn to read music
7. Do more art
Yes, I think thats about all of the main ones. Everyone who reads this entry: feel free to remind me of these goals when you notice me slacking off!!

SOO...
I just got back from my weekend trip to Boston, where, on Saturday night, August 27, 2005, I had the single most amazing experience of my life. I had heard about this Idina Menzel concert up in P'Town, RI, and immediately called my mom about it. This was towards the beginning of the summer. Anyways, she said they were sold out, and instead got tickets for a show in Boston. Now, just to hear we got tickets made me FREAK OUT, because if anyone knows me, they know that I worship Idina Menzel. So, you can imagine how fucking psyched I was to be on the 3rd floor of this hotel in a cafe/bar, no bigger than the size of the multi-purpose room, and then see her come out and stand at a microphone 10 FEET away from me, and sing out "Take Me or Leave Me" like I'd never heard it before. I cried, I really did (like when I saw her in Wicked). I just couldn't take my eyes off of her. Hey - wanna know whats gross? They didn't allow pictures. THAT SUCKED A LOT. But anyways, so after that first number, she was laughing and saying "Sorry, I messed that up". Hah. With that kind of a voice and such stage presence, I certainly didn't notice. Lets see if I can remember how the rest of the show went:
She sang "Here" from her most recent album. Then this song about her sister that used this text from the bible or something, then she did some other songs from her albums ("Penny" and "Minuet"). I think next she did a rendition of "I'll Cover You" from Rent, which was incredible, as I've always wanted to hear a female sing it. Somewhere in there she talked about her boobs and her "jujubees" HAH. Did I mention Idina is FUCKING HILARIOUS?! My goodness. Ok, so then she did this 15 minute montage/medley/story of her years as a wedding singer, included in there some talk about stage diving and some sex noises. Lets see... I don't really remember all the songs she did, but she ended it with, of course, "Defying Gravity" from Wicked - I cried there, too. Then she got an encore and did her own version of "Like a Prayer" (her favorite song!). It was all too amazing. I was like shaking after the show and in complete awe. Not only did she beautifully sing her heart out, she also had a lot of fun with it and totally brought the audience in with her (even taking pictures with people, singing up to their faces, and sitting in their laps). Afterwards, I was telling my mom about how she was so different than anyone I'd seen. It was like she's some ordinary person you'd meet, and then they just turn out to be extremely talented and blow you away. Here are some awesome quotes from her performance that I wanna write down before I forget them:
"This is called a Cabasa. Up until extremely recently, I thought it was called a "Kielbasa". I know, Kielbasa is a type of sausage.... Well, I can play that, too"
"I love salad time!"
"No green M&M's! NO FUCKING GREEN M&M'S!!"
"...My gorgeous movie star husband. Hey ladies - he's mine. Well, guys too, I guess... No wait, that was Providence Town"
Oh and did I mention that she was wearing red converse?! She really is my idol!!!!!
The beautiful and incredible Idina with her "gorgeous movie star husband"
