I have no idea what to write about. I need to have a word count of 1200 words a week and a minimum of 3 posts and I am like 2 weeks behind so forgive me if nothing makes sense. I am also watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire at the moment so that means that 98% of my attention is on that, 1% is taking care of my brothers, and the other 1% is actually on this blog post. So once again, please forgive me if this is the weirdest blog post ever.
Well it's spring break and I have nothing to do. How sad is that? ABC Family was kind enough, though, to start off my spring break with a Harry Potter weekend, so that was a nice touch. My tennis coach decided that he was just going to ruin every ones break by having practice at 10:30 in the morning this week. So to him I would just like to say thank you so freaking much. I really appreciate that you actually think that my partner and I will get better at a sport that we don't even care about (we just play to get out of gym class). When it comes to tennis, I guess you could say that we are amazing. Following every shot I get to hear "great shot chief!" from my partner. Last year was my first year of school tennis and let me say, it was a good year to join the team. Last year, the grumpy, old man coach was leaving to coach the boys team and the super hot assistant coach became head coach. When I say super hot, picture tall, dark and handsome and that's exactly what he looked like. That also meant that the assistant coach spot was open. So who else should they choose but the amazingly attractive biology teacher who knows nothing about tennis. So here we are on the first day of practice, about 30 or so 15 year old girls and 2 super sexy coaches. Do you think anything ever got done? If you guessed 'no', you'd be correct. It was, however, the best year of tennis I have ever played. This year, playing on the junior/senior team, not as much fun. We have my 50 something year old AP U.S. History teacher and his best friend for coaches.
My mother also decided that spring break would be a great time to schedule a dentist appointment. So I also get to go to the dentist at 9:00 tomorrow morning. Great.
Enough ranting. My spring break started off rather well. I went to Next to Normal on Saturday and it was absolutely amazing! I went with my mom and sister as a late Christmas present. We went to the mall (of course) and then went to the show. I saved my money at the mall, which was maybe the hardest thing I've ever had to do, and bought myself a 25 dollar t-shirt at the show. My sister and I know basically everything there is to know about the show and my mother had no idea what it was about, other than the fact that is was a musical and had a song in it called "I'm Alive." She also didn't know that there was any bad language in the show (my sister and I got chewed out during intermission for not telling her). The show started and I could barely contain myself. I would have to say that whoever does the lighting for the show is a genius. The lights took the show to a whole new level. I didn't care that I was sitting way in the back or that I wasn't seeing it on Broadway at the Booth Theater. It was so amazing and breathtaking that you literally couldn't move. It pinned you to your seat. My mom was trying to follow along and she got it all in the end (for those who don't know, it's a little bit of a confusing storyline). We all, however, walked out of the theater crying. It is such a tearjerker. I looked over at my mom during the show and could see her dabbing her eyes so her makeup wouldn't run. It was truly a bonding moment for the three of us. I was a little worried when we got there that we would be seeing only the understudies, seeing as it was a matinee and not the evening show. But no, the show began and there was Alice Ripley, straight from Broadway, on the stage. I also saw Asa Somers, Curt Hansen, Emma Hunton and Preston Sadleir. Sure it would have been amazing to see Aaron Tveit as Gabe, but Curt was incredible! Before the show, some lady came up to us and asked us if we wanted her voucher for a free program. So of course my sister and I were like duh of course we do! We took the voucher to the counter and gave it to the lady working and she gave us the program that is worth 20 dollars at the merchandise stand. I don't know who she was but just in case she happens to be reading this for some reason, THANK YOU SO MUCH! So if you were wondering, the show was really good and I loved it.
The next Broadway show that I have to see is called Catch Me If You Can (CMIYC). Which, surprisingly, stars Aaron Tveit. If you were wondering if it's based off of the movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks, you would be correct. Aaron plays Leo's role as Frank Abagnale Jr. and Norbert Leo Butz plays Tom's role as Carl Hanratty. You can go to this website to see more about the musical opening on April 10th, 2011. I am so excited!
Well Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is on right now and that one is my favorite so you are now getting even less of my attention. I love Harry Potter so much. Next summer after I graduate, I get to decide where the family vacation is, so obviously, I chose Universal Studio's Wizarding World of Harry Potter Theme park in Orlando, Florida. Next weekend however, all of my family from my dad's side is going to St. Louis to "hang out" as my mother put it. Fun. I'm making estimates on how many times I will be asked about how school is going, if I know where I want to go after high school, and what I want to do. It'll probably be somewhere between 25 and 30 times. I've already got my answers lined up. After high school, I'm going to Hogwarts to become a wizard. The truth is I have no clue what I want to do after high school, and if I had the choice, I would rather become a wizard than do anything else. Speaking of Harry Potter, if you haven't seen A Very Potter Musical on YouTube, go watch it now. It's a legit musical with good songs and it's hilarious. It takes parts from all 7 (or I guess you could say 8) movies and puts bits and pieces together.
Well I'm tired of writing so I'm going to play games on Sporcle.com. Just in case anyone was wondering, this post was 1227 words. Winner. 1228.
