| "I had another run-in with a coon yesterday. Scary shit."
That was part of an entry from a while ago. It made me laugh. I remember fondly the time I came face to face with a raccoon... for the second time in 2 days. SO MANY COONS THERE WERE THAT SUMMER. Anyway, I'm all decked out in 80's glam cause I'm going to an 80's par-tay (bet you never would have guessed!) I'm excited to dance like a crazy person, as I tend to do at parties, and I'm usually the sober one.
How time flies! Two years ago now I was in high school... anyway, I can't start this right now, i'll go on forever, and upset myself even more. I just feel so old! Wah!
I love cookies. So much. Really, I need a cookie with every meal. It's so sad. I should stop eating cookies, but I can't cause they are so good. My favorite cookie at the moment is probably the chocolate crinkle from Shank's Bakery downtown. My second favorite is the vegan chocolate chip cookies from Whole Foods. I really like the coconut cookies from Shank's also. My general favorite type of cookie is chocolate chip. How could you resist a good chocolate chip? Shiz, I'ma gonna get some diabeetus.
Well well well. I love saying well.
HEY IF YOU'RE READING THIS I LOVE YOU KBYE. | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment   |

| So, after a lovely dinner party at Katie's house the other night, I said I would update my LJ, cause it's been a while.
I decided the topic would be "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" the movie.
Alright so Sweeney Todd... absolutely amazing. Loved it, loved it, loved it. The wait was totally worth it. I love that show with every fiber of my being. It's such a different kind of musical, and it's sooooo cool! So seeing it in movie form, I walked into the midnight showing with low expectations, for how could it even compare to the Broadway show? I ended up being blown away. The movie-going experience was SO exciting! Every killing made me jump and gasp and look around at everyone else's reactions. It was so much fun! I also got the book of the film for Christmas, which features pictures from production and filming and interviews with the cast. It's really awesome!
I don't really have much else to say.
Hmmm...
I wish I didn't have to go back to school on Sunday. That kind of sucks a lot. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| Aight, so who here on the LJ saw Harry Potter? I just saw it. I had heard good things. Except for I didn't like the movie. Sure, it was good for the special effects, etc. etc, and the production itself. I liked the actors, as usual, but I didn't like what they did to it! It didn't seem like a normal Harry Potter. I believe they should have just picked a movie theme and stuck with it for these movies, but instead we are experiencing movies that are different in style and such. The third movie was awesome. Accurate, I loved the way they portrayed Hogwarts, but this movie drifted from the book. (in my opinion, at least.) Hogwarts looked completely different. What happened to Harry spazing out in Dumbledore's office at the end? That is important! I so looked forward to seeing a tear trickle down Dumbledore's lined face into his silver-grey beard. But Harry stayed calm. And since when was the prophesy revealed to Harry in the department of mysteries? Well there is much more, of course. They left quidditch out COMPLETELY, which upset me, and I would have liked to see St. Mungo's. I liked the characters, especially Beatrix Lestrange, who was especially evil but also hott. (ON FIAH!) Also Hermione is too good looking for her own good. Harry was hott, especially that kiss with Cho, but I didn't like how Cho gave them away in the movie. So not true. But the movies can't be as accurate as the books, or they would be many more hours long, so I just have to make due with being unsatisfied.
HP7 comes out Friday night... INSANITY!!! I just finished the 6th, because when the 5th came out I had been too depressed to be even more depressed by reading the sixth. But after re-reading the fifth so that I could proceed to the sixth knowing what was going on, I enjoyed the fifth. The sixth book, however, was bland, I thought. There was action, but not very much of it. I would have liked more. But the sixth leaves a lot up to the seventh. Who will triumph? Harry or Voldemort? We'll just have to wait a few more days. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| I saw a matinee of Spring Awakening today.
It was absolutely incredible. I was moved in so many ways. I got to sit on stage. And in this show, there are about 20 wooden chairs onstage. You think you know which seats are for the actors, the plain ones as opposed to ones with seat numbers (like mine, BB 14) and the actors sit in them when the show starts and use the chairs throughout the show. But this girl sat next to me before the show started, escorted by an usher, completely normal looking. As the show begins, John Gallagher Jr comes out and sits in the chair right next to Ash, and two of the cast members sit directly in front of me. (we are a step above them.) About four songs into the show, during an ensemble number, the girl next to me whips out a microphone and stands up and starts singing, along with another guy right in front of me. So we were the only non-cast members in the section of seating we were in. I sat about 5 feet away from the orchestra. I couldn't help the extreme emotions that came over me while watching the show. The cast was dancing and singing right next to us. I felt the vibrations of their feet hitting the stage floor, saw them swinging over me from the gate behind the chair I was sitting in. I was on a broadway stage looking out at the audience. It was incredible. I cried many times throughout the show. The story was extremely moving and intense. I also cried because I couldn't help the overwhelming feeling of wanting to sing with the cast. I felt so much a part of it, but at the same time so much like an audience member. Anyway the last number was outstanding. Throughout the show I developed a crush on the character of Moritz, played by John Gallagher Jr, who is Tony nominated for the role. I got to meet him afterwards, and he asked if I had been sitting onstage. He had noticed me! Happy times. I asked him to come eat with us but "he had to go find a tux for the tony's." A likely story. But he was extremely nice and I would really like to date him. But who wouldn't? Oh GOD I am seeing this show again and again. While I would never give back my onstage seating, I couldnt see the faces of the actors a lot of the time (although Jon Groff's bare ass was not more than 5 feet in front of me during "I Believe." haha. I loved the story, and the music. I felt compelled to share these feelings because my heart has been full of emotions lately and this was just extreme. I apologize if this made no sense. Just ask me. | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |

| Exactly 1 week until I am home again for the summer. And believe me, I am not going to ignore any of you. I am going to visit Jackie in Princeton, as I had promised. And soon everyone will be home! And we will take a trip to the beach. I really can't wait to go to NYC. And I can't wait to go have starbucks dates with everyone and I can't wait to shop for cute summer clothes. It's been too long. Many people are fake here and I can't wait to be around real people again.
I have initiation tonight. I got into Alpha Phi Omega. SO glad that pledging is finally over. It seemed like more of a nuisance than anything fun, really. Now it gets fun, hopefully.
There are a few A Capella concerts this weekend so I look forward to that. Too bad I can't go to exit 245 tonight. Boo hoo!

| So Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse opens tomorrow! I think everyone should go see it. It's really cute and fun.
This week has been so stressful. All the work I have to do but haven't done, the tests I have, Lilly, feeling insignificant. It's been tough. Plus, getting rejected from yet again another play. It's getting really old to me, especially since I feel I've auditioned for every show possible, which is a lot of shows. I'm trying to keep going, but its also hard when you have a parent who doesn't comfort you when you don't get a part since she doesn't want you being a theatre major anyway. (just had to get that out.) I've wanted to prove everyone wrong and prove to everyone that I have what it takes. Now, I just want to prove to myself that I can do it. I constantly feel judged and I don't like it. I just gotta keep going. Life is a highway after all!

| Everything can go from being so good to being pretty crappy real fast. Life truly is a roller coaster.
This past week was a challenge, to say the least. I had to deal with so much stupid, petty drama. I mean, we are in college after all, I think it's time we stop acting like we're in middle school, right? I am not about to continue the drama. I am the kind of person who will ignore it. If someone else can't stop being a drama queen, I don't need that person.
Yea. So anyway, I have been pretty sick this past week, with a horrendous cold. My nose is so sore from all the blowing i've been doing. (I'm going to pretend that didn't sound dirty.) I'm a fountain of snot. (lovely picture, eh?) It's been hard living in my suite, too. It's just about time to come home. I haven't been home since January 7th. Pledging my frat is going well, but it is pretty stressful at times. Needing to get service hours done, biweekly meetings, committee meetings, interviews, it's just a long process and I'll be happy once it's over. My classes are going pretty well, some better than others, but all in all i'm quite satisfied with my schedule.
What I miss:
Hannah (who just got guitar hero and is going to verse me once I get home)
JP
Luna pug
My bed
My shower
Lipton soup
Availability of random foods
John's Boy pizza
Painting
The distance from my house to New York City
New York City
The Jersey shore (i'm going next week... any takers?)
My TV room
The chair in my living room
Garden State Plaza
Glen Rock starbucks
Forts in my garage
Sleepovers
CYO Retreats
Van Dykes
Singing
Going to bed before 2:30 am
Sleeping in
Summer days
Being tan
Being surrounded by people i love
Plus LOTS more
and I especially miss Figaro and cannot wait to hug him on saturday.
Also, I miss my friends DEARLY. I want to see ALLLLLLL of you next week. (and if that involves a lot of driving on my part, so be it. I love you.)
I am exhausted and burnt out. I have to now write a paper on the Bhagavad-Gita, which is fine, but it's after 1 and I'm at the library and it closes at 2 and I'm going to have to walk back to my dorm in the cold and I'm dreading that. Yea.
Friday will be fun. I'm going to DC and chilling with Katie and we are seeing the Thermals and then sleeping at G-Town and taking the chinatown bus to NYC on Saturday. I cannot wait to just collapse on my couch.
Aight I'ma go do workies now. Love you all.

| Wow! It's been a while!
New things: I'm officially in a frat now. (cause I'm such a frat boy.) (its coed.) Alpha Phi Omega, I <3 you.
I have a crush on my History professor, even though he's like 65 years old.
Quote from class today (lecture for note-taking): " The Romans were majorly influenced by the Greeks. And make sure you include the 'r' in 'Greek.' If you leave it out, you'd be insulting them."
Another quote (while displaying a bust of Augustus on the screen): " Augustus was actually a pretty good looking guy. Unlike Cleopatra, who was more homely than hell. "
Dear Dr. Amazing (protecting his identity): Next time you go to Egypt, I'm coming with you.
Sincerely,
Therese, your numbah 1 fan.
This semester is like a whole new year! I love it. I've met so many new people too, it's amazing. It's so funny how you think you've met everyone worth meeting, but you meet new amazing people every day.
I'm really happy with the theatre department here. The people are "theatre" people, but are mostly nice. I can always be myself around them. I've been getting more and more involved with it, and currently play various roles of mice in the children's theatre production "Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse." I love it! And I love the people who are in it with me. One of my sophomore friends in particular is simply amazing, and i'm so happy we are friends.
I do miss Hannah, and Figaro. And I even miss Luna. Hannah is growing up and it is scaring me. The funny thing is, she's lost her front teeth, and she's still adorable. (her teeth are growing in nice and straight... she will never need braces.)
Let's see... anything else??? I miss all of my friends from back in Jerzz. I can't wait til we meet again. Spring break is kind of right around the corner so that is good. (i rove you and miss you all!)
And Ben Folds is coming to JMU! So I am suuuuper excited about that. :-)
I suppose that is all for now.
Peace out, butterflies!

| So I am once again back at J to the MU. Today was okay. I actually made it to my 8am class today, which I happen to be dropping probably tomorrow. I'm in a "theatre for young audiences" class and I will be learning about puppets. I'm the only freshman. That should be fun. I still am not sure about what I want to do with my major. I know I'm majoring in theatre, but I want a second major, and i am not sure what to do with it.
Break was super relaxing and cool. I spent the majority of it with two really noticeable black eyes, thanks to Lebron breaking my nose. (It's aight Lebron... I still love you.) I got to just chillax with my fav. people. Unfortunately, I won't be returning to Glen Rock until March, and that will be the longest I have ever gone without going home.
I think I'd like to live in London some day. Amelia tells me she sees me living in France. I could see that, I suppose. Maybe have a little apartment in Paris, or a cottage in the country where I would live with my cat that I will name BonBon, or another French dessert pastry of some sort. Or maybe I'll name my French cat after some historical figure, like Napoleon. But that's too common. Perhaps after an artist of my choice? Seurat! I like it. I will name my cat Seurat. It's pretty uncommon, I mean who names their cat Seurat?? No one I know. But prior to living in France, I need to learn to speak French. I'll take some courses this summer, I think.
There is always the possibility of double majoring in history and theatre, which could be both fun and educational, but we shall see. I have a really funny history professor this semester. He's old and very into Ancient History. I'm in a lecture of about 100 people for his class. I met him in the library today, introduced myself and what not. He sent the class an email, saying: "In case you didn't notice, there will be no class this Friday. My parole officer would like to meet with me for some reason." HAHA! What a funny guy!
I Love NewYork premiered tonight. I'm really sad I missed it.
My livejournal entries are very long and tend to make sense to no one but myself. But for those reading this entry, hello there! How are you? My regards to your goldfish.
I'm overtired. There are still no sheets on my bed and I need to get to sleep soon. I'll sleep on top of the comforter with my quilt over me again. It works for now.

| SOOOOOO things here are bad.
I want to come home and i am PISSED that i'm missing everyone in "Hello, Dolly!"
My life is in shambles. Kind of.
My sister Hannah was trying to make me feel better on the phone after I complained to her about college.
Here's what she said:
"Therese there’s so much to do at college!
There’s a pool at college
There’s volleyball at college
There’s rock climbing at college
There are bedrooms at college
There are mountains at college
There’s rock climbing at college!
There are friends at college.
There’s a pool at college."
Yea... she said rock climbing and pool twice. Those are her favorite things about college. And why she said bedrooms... I don't know. But she makes a valid point.
For tonight, that's all I can say. I miss you all! | | comments: 8 comments or Leave a comment |

| Right now, Paradise By the Dashboard Light is playing and it is making me sad, for I miss IHA and Bosco sweet sixteens and Grad parties from back in the day. I really do miss those times, when the guys would break out into that song. So hardxcore it was. I have particular memories for Deejo's Grad party (yea, i know it's ancient history) but it was so fun. I miss my lover Lauren williams so much, for "paradise" is one of our many songs. Le sigh.

| Circumstance sucks, but I've learned to deal with everything and anything. College hasn't been the sweetest time, but I wasn't expecting it to be. I miss my friends, and my keyboard. I also miss my cat, Figaro.
I hung out with Holly today, though, and that was fun, since we went to Home Depot and talked in what we thought to be New Zealand accents. On the bus ride back to campus, we convinced 2 guys from JMU that we were exchange students, all the while talking in ridiculous sounding, non-New Zealandish accents. We sounded like Salad Fingers, and yet we couldnt stop speaking that way. My new name is Olive, and her new name is Pearl.
I am very sick for home. I want Mr. Tendafoot to move in with me. I have to go read 60 pages. Ugh.
Love always, Olive | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| So I leave for college in 5 hours. Fuck. Wow. I'm so scared and nervous. My room is a mess. Myself is a mess. So you don't know anything about James Madison University? I didn't either.
Straight from the Playboy website's list of top 25 party schools:
James Madison University
"Any night of the week you can find a party with multiple kegs, beer pong and girls dancing on tables. We party harder than any other school. If you're looking for hot girls who can hold their alcohol, stop by." --Dan
There you have it. So basically, fuck.
Tonight was fun. Watched Mary Poppins with everyone at the Ramsey Cinema. A good end, I think.
Summer ends for me tomorrow. School begins on the 27th.
Where did the summer go? Seriously.
How time flies. I was only 17 a week ago. Now i'm 18. Fucking scares me. | | comments: 7 comments or Leave a comment |
