True Blood, A New School Year and Regina Spektor.

Although most people watch True Blood on Sundays at 8/9C on HBO, me and my family watch it Monday - Saturday (which ever is most convenient) at anytime between 7 p.m. to 9/10 p.m.. So, even though we missed last night's episode, we will watch it tonight! I can say that I am truthfully excited! The True Blood vampires are so much better than the Twilight vampires. Also, I am currently scouring my libraries for a copy of the first book in the Southern Vampire Mysteries, I think that is what they're called. They're the books that True Blood is so wonderfully based off of. Whenever I get the free time or chance to run over to my library I will do that!

So, I've been finishing up my summer work for the next year at school. Yay. (Please read that with dry sarcasm.) On Wednesday, the 26th, I have orientation for my sophomore year and then on Thursday, we have a 7-Period day, which is basically just like going through all of our classes, but they're 10-minute classes as apposed to however long our normal classes are. Then, for some odd, but blessed, reason we have no school on Friday! And then finally on Monday, the 31st, we begin the school year. It'll be nice to see all the people I've missed over the summer, even though I will miss the summer time.

From Friday the 21st to Saturday the 22nd, I had a sleepover with a few of my closest friends and we had a lot of fun! We watched Definitely, Maybe - which I've seen before, but it was still entertaining and then we just had a bunch of time to catch up with each other and basically re-cap the entire summer before school started. Then Saturday, we spent a good 4 hours shopping at the mall close by and even though we did get rained on for an hour and a half, or so, we still had a lot of fun! I bought two Regina Spektor CDs that I've been meaning to buy, Begin to Hope and Far. They're both really good and I'm beginning to learn the rest of the songs on the CDs, not just Fidelity, Better, Samson and Folding Chair! My favorites (not counting those mentioned previously of course) are On The Radio, Apres Moi, Wallet, 20 Years of Snow - fine okay, I really do like all of them, I won't list them.

Cheers,

We're Attracting the Vampires

I think the Maryland towns by D.C. and the District itself are gonna be a breeding ground for the vampires. Yes. TrueBlood and the Twilight Series have finally gotten to my brain. But really, all this rain! All the time! Sexy Vampires better come on over!
Anyways, another update post. Other than the 'constant cover of rain' (there I go quoting Twilight) - I do like the rain - my eldest sister and I recently saw RENT in D.C. with the original broadway/movie actors of Roger and Mark: Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp!!! Needless to say, it was AMAZING. Go read the review in today's (May 29th) Style section of the Washington Post.
I think the rain is really a good time to listen to music. You have the ambient noise the rain makes and then your favorite Jack's Mannequin or Journey song playing in the background. What could go wrong?
Two days left of school!! Three exams left!! Two on Monday, one on Tuesday and then FINALLY! Summer time!
Yes I am excited.

.no day but today.

Weezy <3

we are not the same
i am an alien...

music of course :D
Just listening to music. Haven't posted in a while actually. Kinda sad I guess. Freshman year is winding down, next week is my last week and then I have exams.
So basically this is just an update post - I promise I will write more when I have the time!!

Back in School

Well today I was back in school. Yippee. Another wonderful happening was today was our first rehearsal for my school play! Basically we sat in a circle and did a script reading. It was nice to hear the voices inhabit the roles of the characters since I had only been practicing the play by myself. By the by, if anyone is interested, the play we will be bringing to life is Reviving Ophelia based off of the non-fiction book && I happen to be playing Ophelia. Yay me! Anyways updates will be few and far because nothing interesting ever happens when I am at school for like 6+ hours a day and come home to do homework. This post may be rare- sell it on eBay in 20-60 years and you shall make a fortune!! No I'm sorry that this has been a boring blog posteh. Hopefully much more interesting posts will be revealed in later days.

That's all for now! Thank you and much love,
Grace

And of course- here's a little song for today that most people are familiar with because it was on an apple commercial- it is a happy song. Now, Bruises by Chairlift:

I tried to do handstands for you
I tried to do headstands for you
Everytime I fell on you, yeah, everytime I fell
I tried to do handstands for you
But everytime I fell for you
I'm permanently black and blue, permanently blue for you.

I tried to do handstands for you
I tried to do handstands for you
Everytime I fell on you, yeah, everytime I fell
I tried to do handstands but everytime I fell for you
I'm permanently black and blue, permanently blue for you-ooh-ooh-ooh

For you-ooh-ooh-ooh
So black and blue-ooh-ooh-ooh
For you-ooh-ooh-ooh.

I grabbed some frozen strawberries so I could ice your bruising knees
But frozen things they all unfreeze and now I taste like....
All those frozen strawberries I used to chill your bruising knees,
Hot July ain't good to me
I'm pink and black and blue for you.

I got bruises on my knees for you
And grass stains on my knees for you
Got holes in my new jeans for you
Got pink and black and blue

Got bruises on my knees for you
And grass stains on my knees for you
Got holes in my new jeans for you
Got pink and black and blue for you-ooh-ooh-ooh

For you-ooh-ooh-ooh
So black and blue-ooh-ooh-ooh
For you-ooh-ooh-ooh
