Hi.
I have a prayer request. I can't really give many details, but I would just appreciate it if you would just keep it in the back of your mind. Thanks.
Glee was a little lame tonight. I love Kristen Chenoweth as much as the next Broadway-loving girl, but please - alcohol and country songs? I need just a little more creativity than that. The best part of the episode was the music video to the very last song of the episode. If I find it, I'll post it soon. And Will and Emma need to get together. Seriously. It's time.
It has been cold and wet and rainy lately, and I hate it. I just want the sun to come back. Cold weather is such a downer.
Tomorrow is October 1 which means - Christmas Music!!! I always play Christmas music on the first day of October. Can't wait.
Just keep praying, guys. God has everything under control.
"In the silence, you are peace. In the distance, you are here. My soul thirsts for you, oh my soul thirsts for you. In the sadness, you are joy. In the madness, I won't fear. My heart aches for you, oh my heart aches for you."

The Things I've Done To Get Your Attention
I've tried to be brilliant. I've worked hard since 4th grade to get wonderful grades, studying when I had to, waffling when necessary, and making sure that everything I did was done as perfect as possible. It's only recently that I realized that maybe you don't care about this as much as I always thought you did.
I've tried to be talented. I've practiced my singing constantly. I’ve memorized songs; I sang in Latin; I’ve performed in music festivals in different states; I was in a band. I've made myself get over the stage fright just so I could make you notice me, but it never seemed to matter very much to you.
I've tried to be like you. I've tried to like the things you like, and I've tried to act like you. I've tried to follow in your footsteps so that you would notice and be interested in me. I guess we never really had that much in common, though, did we?
I've tried to be a good person. I've tried to learn to control my temper and stay away from bad situations. I've tried going to church and doing the right thing. I've tried not getting into trouble and being close to boring because it's better safe than sorry.
I've tried to be beautiful. I've tried to measure up to other people. I've tried to fix the things I could about myself and accept the things I couldn't. I've lost the weight and fixed the hair and bought the clothes and had the smile, but you don't seem to care.
I just wanted to be noticed, but now, I don't care that much anymore.
God notices me. He thinks I'm smart and talented and beautiful, and he notices that I try to emulate him and try to be a good person. That should completely satisfy me, but sometimes, it doesn't.

Opera & Editors
Ab and I stayed after school yesterday to work on Yearbook, and we ended up getting a little distracted singing opera hahaha.
Go here to see me singing Little Mermaid opera style.
Go here to see Abby and I begin our opera duet career.
Tell us what you think. We'll make you a CD. :)
Haha but really...this is the only way we get through the year with all of our Yearbook stress. We dance to disco, we sing opera, and we de-stress each other.
I will try to convince her to post our Aladdin duet. Personally, I think it's one of our best.

Ok...please allow me to have a brief shallow moment to talk about the two only TV shows that I watch (besides Project Runway, but I usually just catch the day-long marathon when the season is over). Glee and Bones - I just love these shows! That's all I'm going to say. Send me a message if you would like to discuss all of the relationships in these shows. I'm all fired up, and I want everyone to be together! Ugh. TV is frustrating.
I will probably post something else tonight, but I just really needed to talk about this. I'm done now, though. No worries. :)

500 Days of Summer
So I know that I said I was going to write book reviews, but I have been so busy that I haven't had time to finish a book all the way through! It's kind of sad, actually. I'm working on Emma by Jane Austen, Tamar by Mal Peet, Nobody's Perfect by Anthony Lane, and Push Not the River by James Conroyd Martin. I pinkie promise that when I get one of these completely finished, I'll write a book review.
In the meantime, I'll write a movie review about a movie that I waited months and months to watch (literally about six months), and I finally watched it today!
The movie was 500 Days of Summer, and I have been hyping it up in my head since I saw the first preview for it.
While the movie was really great - incredible actors (I love Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel), witty and engaging script, and brilliant sets that really complete the whole story - it was a little bittersweet.
I'm not going to give anything away because I really hate that when people give away things for me. I will say this, though. The narrator warns you right in the beginning that the movie is "not a love story." If you've watched the movie, what did you think? Be careful what you post in a comment, though - no spoilers!
The best thing about this movie, though, was the soundtrack. The music was so amazing. In fact, the new music that you hear right now if you're reading this is made up entirely of songs from the movie. What do you think? I love it.
To those of you who liked my other playlist better - no worries. It will be back. This is just temporary, I think.
