Why?

Everyone is sick.

Yes, everyone.

Except me.

Today I was supposed to (not to mention immensely looking forwards to) go to a drama club and rehearse a skit at Gym Day (which is now on Fridays), have a MIDnight (Murder In the Dark-night) with some friends and have a load of fun doing it all. So now I can't go anywhere and it's very likely I'll get sick myself. Not to mention that for some strange reason I am really, really hot... I'm just rather upset right now. I've been looking forwards to this for a long time, especially since we missed last Gym Day (I'm not including Halloween).

The Phantom of the Opera and my Gorgeous Gown

So here is a picture of me, the day before my birthday, in a beautiful dress right before I head off with Daddy and Dear Sister to see the Phantom of the Opera.

The show was fabulous, and the effects were amazing, the costumes extravagant, the acting realistic... It was a wonderful show, but I didn't like how they changed some lines in 'Think of Me' and other songs and how they would be singing in some places when they were supposed to be talking... They also tried to make it more of an 'operatic' style, and didn't have them sing it strait. There was way too much vibrato and some of the songs just weren't as pure, or sweet, or enchanting (and I almost mean literally enchanting... the music from this play is really amazing) as they were in the original with that style... it may be called 'The Phantom of the Opera', but I think it's better as a musical.

With that being said, it was a great show and I'm so glad I had a chance to see it!

Almost there

Right now I am getting ready for The Phantom of the Opera. I already took a shower and put on some make-up, but I still need to curl my hair (tough luck with that... my hair never curls!) and Mommy needs to finish sewing the straps of my dress so that it will fit.

Anyway, I'm super duper excited and I will tell you all about it the moment I can!

OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH!

Tomorrow's the day! I get up, I get all 'prettied' up and Dear Sister, Fabulous Daddy and I head off to see this big stage musical that I have been wanting to see for over six months. I've been waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and now it's here. Tomorrow. Wow...

I can't believe it! And afterwards, it's time to head off and watch that movie that I made that's probably called "The Rose Of Gondor". I really, really, really am so, so, so excited... I'm all giddy and happy and wonderful feeling and I just can't wait. I just want to go to bed now so I can wake up and do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, that's me for you. I've been waiting so, so long. And now I don't have to. It's going to be great.

I hope I can wait.

A thing that annoys me...

I hate it when a movie, or a book or story or anything doesn't have a complete ending! It's really annoying.
What I mean is that I hate it when you're still asking questions after the movie is over, even though they are all answered... when you feel like there should be more to it. It just feels unsatisfying, and I like to be satisfied when it comes to stories. I don't like endings that don't answer all the questions either, but the ones with unsatisfying answers really get me... Remember that! If you have a story, make sure that the ending is COMPLETE!

Stuff

I really really want to do something awesome, special, or just plain cool. So far, I have no clue what. I want to draw something beautiful, write something great, or work on that 'Sugar and Tea' skit with Dear Sister... I don't know. I just wish I knew!!!

On another matter, two of my best friends just left on a vacation and won't be back until August. It's awful! Still, I wish them nothing but the best and if I can't play with them, they had better be having a fantastic time!

Well... I guess that's all I have to say! Bye!

That's it.

I'm officially haunted.

Okay, let me explain...

I watched the last American Idol episode*, and they had a few 'Phantom of the Opera' songs in it. Anyway, they made it seem like Carly Smithson was going to sing 'All I Ask of You', and I happen to love that song (I'd seen it in some book or another, but I never saw heard it in it's full glory). I was really excited... and then she sang 'Jesus Christ, Super Star' instead, and ended up getting kicked off. (*uncontrollable crying*--I loved Carly)

Anyway, I was really disappointed that I didn't get to hear it so I YouTubed that song. I got the 2004 movie version and it was amazing. I'd never seen anything like it! I was so impressed that I looked up few others. And--can you believe it?--they were amazing too!

So now I was really excited about it. I told Nana and she lent me her 'Phantom of the Opera' CD and libretto script (thank you so very much, Nana!), and I plan to watch the 2004 movie A.S.A.P.

So the Phantom of the Opera has gotten to me. Wow. Is this what it's like to be haunted? If so, I love it!

*Honorable mentions from the last episode (in other words, the ones I enjoyed enough to remember): David Cooke (he sounded like the original!!! He's always amazing), Syesha ???, and I can't remember anyone else who did a good job...

Ballet, Summer, and much much more!

Today was the day I find out if I'm going to move up a level or not this summer of ballet.

I'm not.

But that's really what I wanted. Four days a week is enough for me--definitely! (level VI {the next level up and the last level of ballet} is five days a week--MINIMUM!!!) I'm just really sad that some of the other Ballerina's are moving up without me... I'm gonna miss them :-(

Anyway, Summer is coming up and I can't wait! I'll be able to (drum roll please) SWIM! Hooray!

Swim Facts About Galaxy:

1. She has yet to learn how to take breathes while swimming, but she loves the pool and adores floating around.
2. She and her sister invented a type of swimming called the 'Mermaid', which involves diving down to the bottom of the pool and swimming like a mermaid.
3. Her parents own an inflatable* pool--which probably inspired her love of water.
4. She likes sun-bathing a lot.
5. If it's hot, she swims. NOTHING can get in her way.
6. She waits all year to swim, and enjoys it thoroughly while she can.

Another cool thing about Summer is that this will be the first time in three years that I won't be in a musical, and thus, I have (after I finish 6 weeks of ballet) NOTHING to do! That's right, NOTHING!--besides hanging out and having fun with friends and family.

So... that's all I have to say--for now!

Bye!!!

*The pool isn't really inflatable; you just fill it up with water and it pops up. The pool is 12 feet by 42 inches.
