FIRST THING I'M GOING TO DO WHEN I GET BACK TO INTERLOCHEN
Cry, then crush my dad's ribs in a monster hug, then freak out because I didn't get the roommate or suitemates that I wanted.
WEIRDEST OUTFIT I'VE EVER WORN
Get ready, this is a mouthful...okay. Navy blue gym pants, light-blue embroidered turtleneck, pink-and-purple clogs with embroidered flowers, rainbow-striped satin vest, little straw hat adorned with a pin that reads "Out of control!" Top the whole thing off with frizzy hair and pale pink lipstick that, trust me, no eleven-year-old girl (which is how old I was when I wore this damn thing) should be allowed to wear.
FIRST-EVER CRUSH
DO NOT LAUGH...Steve Urkel from Family Matters. GIVE ME A BREAK, I WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD.
FAVORITE HIGH SCHOOL CLASS EVER
Intro to Psychology, freshman year.
WHY I HATE MOST MODERN COMEDIES
Because, quite honestly, they suck. Superbad, Epic Movie, the like...just, no. I love comedy, but unless jokes are done tastefully they are, in my opinion, wasted.
WHAT I'M CURRENTLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MOST
Being on Welcome Wagon at the beginning of my senior year.
WHAT I'M CURRENTLY DREADING THE MOST
Two things: 1) Leaving my parents, and 2) I might've ordered the wrong size welcome wagon t-shirt...oops!
And now for the questions from my parents and fellow Inty students, about the coming year, the blog, and just stuff in general:
WHAT'S YOUR THESIS GOING TO BE ABOUT?
I have no f#$%ing clue. Hopefully a period piece of some sort.
WILL YOU HOOK UP WITH SOMEONE THIS YEAR?
I would like to extend this heartfelt response to the person who was bold enough to ask me that: None of your freakin' business.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST PSYCHED ABOUT FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR?
Senior prom (I know, I'm such a cliche!), Phys Ed with Lisa Melnyk and Production Workshop with Michael.
WHAT'S UP WITH YOU AND STOLEN DIALOGUE?
Nothing...I just reeeeally love it. It's funny, don't you agree? (If you have never laughed ONCE at my stolen dialogue, you really ought to seek medical attention, because chances are you are in a coma of some sort.)
WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH "AD-LIB NEWS"?
Well, as my close friends know, "Ad-lib News" is the code for the boy I USED to love but, sadly, discovered was not all he appeared to be. One of my camp friends did a YouTube show called Ad-Lib News, and I liked the title so I used it as my codename. My current crush is known as "The Seal," because I accidentally blurted out in front of someone I liked "I like seals," and coincidentally, a girl in a Meg Cabot novel did the same thing...so, I nicknamed my current crush "The Seal."
I KNOW YOU IN REAL LIFE...YOU'RE USUALLY UPBEAT ON YOUR BLOG, BUT IN REAL LIFE YOU'RE USUALLY STRESSED. WHAT GIVES?
I figure the entire world doesn't need to know my problems. However, as seen in posts such as "So...why Alien Water Torture?" and "The Hardest Thing about Making a Movie Is...", I am not above the occasional rant. (To my parents: Yes, I actually HAVE been asked this question by several people.)
WILL YOU KEEP BLOGGING AFTER SENIOR YEAR?
Probably, although as I obviously won't be at Inty anymore, I will probably start a new blog, referencing the college I attend or the adventures I have...I don't know. So yes, I will in all probability keep blogging, but no, it won't be Alien Water Torture anymore. It will be "Vassar Adventures" or "Connected in Connecticut" or "Notes on Notre Dame" or something stupid of that nature.
YOU TALK ABOUT CRUSHES, BUT WHEN ASKED ABOUT DATING YOU CLAM UP...WHY?
See answer to "Will you hook up in senior year?" Multiply that by 200. I once posted "It's Complicated" on my facebook status and was immediately bombarded by questions. Henceforth, I may talk about crushes and stupid things I've done in front of said crushes (I repeat: "I like seals"), but my relationship status shall be kept off the wonderous FB unless it is solid.
WHY START A BLOG MIDWAY THROUGH THE SCHOOL YEAR?
Because at the beginning of the year I was too internet-shy to do something like this. Also, I didn't feel the need to blog at the beginning of the year...but by February I'd warmed up to the idea, from reading my friends' blogs and getting too many good stories to keep to myself.
DO YOU LIKE WRITING OR FILMMAKING BETTER?
Oh, for the love of God, PLEASE don't make me choose.
WHY DON'T YOU ACT ANYMORE?
Because I like being behind the camera better. Also, I am trained as an improv actress, which is quite useless these Shakespearean days.
WHY ISN'T THIS A PROPER POST? AND WHERE'S YOUR STOLEN DIALOGUE?
I'm tired and I don't have any dialogue offhand right now. Good night!
