But alone is alone...

One of my friends tagged me in one of those "interesting facts about you" things on  facebook.....and I can't think of 16 things that I'd want everyone on facebook to see, so I'm just gonna let it all out here. No one uses this anymore, really, anyway.

( Here it goes... )

So....I'm planning on changing one of my majors. Yay. No more dramatic lit. I mean, I love theatre and all, but right now I don't think I'm going to end up doing anything with it. I'm changing it to history. So..history and journalism. And I'm thinking of doing something with politics or something like that after I graduate. Maybe cover a political beat for a paper or something like that. I don't know. I would major it political science, but at NYU all it is is game theory, which, while fairly easy, is also INCREDIBLY boring.

So. Middle school. I had one really good friend in 8th grade- Emma. She moved to CA right before the school year began. None of my friends that I  had had since 6th grade really liked her. She shopped at Hot Topic and listened to Linkin Park and System of a Down. But she was a really awesome friend. We chatted online every night. She was supportive-not that my other friends weren't... but she actually seemed genuine. She wanted to set me up with a friend of hers. When I considered trying out for the school musical, she egged me on.... So I decided to audition the night before and she tried to help me prepare during lunch. I can't sing, and didn't even make callbacks.
I moved. We went to high school. She didn't seem to like hers very much. We sent each other e-mail or chatted with each other about once a week. We eventually lost touch with each other.
This summer I was cleaning my room and found my old middle school yearbooks. Apparently, everyone in England shares her name, so I sent a message to a girl who's profile photo looked similar....Wasn't her.
I was talking to one of my suitemates and her mother about being an Army brat today, and I decided to look her up on facebook.
Guess what?
I found her.
Guess what else?
She goes to Mary Washington.
Seriously.
You have NO idea how much I freaked out when I found her.

I would just like to say that Alaska has a population of about 680,000. NYC has a population of about 8.5 million. Guiliani and Bloomberg have some sort of forgiegn affairs experience already.... I know Bloomberg's an independent now, and Guiliani is annoying.... but, seriously....they both would have been slightly better picks than this random Palin chick.... who scares me...a lot.....

Went to the midnight showing of Dark Knight. OMGWTF AMAZING. Heath Ledger is FANTASTIC.

Now I'm off to work that is Dark Knight opening weekend. :-P

Hola.
So...summer's, like, halfway over.

I really enjoy working at the movie theater. Weird, I know.... But most of the people there are great. *shrug*
Oh, and this is the greatest thing ever. Yes, a webcomic about movie theater employees....:P

If anyone has the chance to rent The Last of Shelia, watch it. It is amazing....

Saw Wall-E recently. Loved it. It was absolutely adorable. "Presto," the short film before that, is fantastic as well.
I walked theaters the day after the movie was released, and completely geeked out when I heard music from Hello, Dolly.

Mamma Mia's soundtrack leaked a few days ago. Pierce Brosnan isn't the greatest singer...but Meryl Streep isn't bad.

And I MUST see [title of show].  I'm almost tempted to take a bus up one day to see a matinee and then take a bus back that night.

I'm reading Marc Acito's Attack of the Theater People, which I love. I just finished his first book, How I Paid for College: A novel of Sex, Friendship, and Musical Theater. A little unrealistic, but fantastic.

Eh, I turn 20 in a week. Bree returns from Europe on the 13th, and my mom leaves for Slovakia on the 15th, so everyone will be home that day.

That's pretty much it. I'm still working. My family goes to Disney World in August. Christina's family is arriving our last day there...so.... we'll be hanging out then, I guess.

Yay, Tonys! I'm a little ticked that Sunday and Xanadu didn't get any awards, but besides that...I really wasn't upset about anything. I'm glad that Lin-Manuel Miranda won best score. Loved the Rent performance....if only because I loved the audience's reactions. Patti LuPone was clapping along, Daniel Evans sang along, and Lin-Manuel Miranda gave a standing ovation.
Aaaaaaand....speaking of Patti...LOVED her acceptance speech.

I'm in Columbus right now. I'll be back tomorrow evening. We had a picnic memorial thing for my grandfather...'cause it's what he wanted instead of a funeral. ALL of the cousins were here...so....yeah, that was...interesting?

Erm....I'm looking for a second job right now. I've got a job at the movie theater... and I enjoy working there...I just don't get paid, like, anything. So I'll probably end up working at McDonald's again, as well.

I saw Get Smart yesterday at Quantico. I liked it. It wasn't perfect, but it was funny.

Eh....that's really it.

So. I'm back in Stafford.

Tony nominees came out today
http://broadwayworld.com/viewcolumn.cfm?colid=27843
Tony committee didn't nominate Young Frankenstein or Little Mermaid for best musical....
Sondheim's getting a lifetime achievement award.... Maybe he'll actually show up for the awards this year... :)

And now...off to tend to my foot. I managed to sort of fall down the stairs....and now my foot hurts. Yay for me being a major klutz.....

So, my roommate found a wallet on the street a few days ago. When she told me, my first response was "Why don't you give it to the police?" Her response? "Oh, well, I sent her a facebook message..."
Today she told me that the wallet itself is worth $250. Expensive for a wallet....I told her to give it to the police if she doesn't get a response before she leaves for the summer. Her response? "Well, I think I'm going to keep it. I mean, what can the police do that I can't?"
....
Seriously?  I would have checked the wallet to see if there was a phone number in it. If not, I would have handed  it over to the police. That way, if she reports if missing....well, she can find it easily. And who doesn't report a $250 wallet missing?

Anyway, I contacted the girl on facebook myself. There are a lot of girls with that name, but only one who really fits the bill. When my roommate suggested that she keep the wallet, I asked her to look through it again to see it there was any contact info. She found a GWU card, which apparently she didn't notice earlier. For all I know, she contacted the wrong person. I gave her my roommate's number and told her to reply soon, since she's leaving town next  month. Hopefully she'll respond.

I dunno, I guess I just think it's really selfish of my roommate to do that....whatever....

In random other news, I'm planning on going up to NYC in July to see [title of show] on Broadway, as I'm paranoid it will pull a Glory Days (opened yesterday....and closed yesterday..). Granted, it'll likely get better reviews. But..still....
Anyone want to tag along?

Edit: Wallet girl replied to my facebook message. Apparently she never got one from Hannah. She told me she called her and that Hannah sounded "shocked and surprised." Ah well, she's getting her wallet back tomorrow. And I can feel good abput myself for about five minutes,,,,:)
