Goodnight!

Pippin

Pippin was a pretty fantastic show! For those unfamiliar with it, Pippin is the story of the son of French king Charlemagne's son, Prince Pippin, and his quest to find complete and utter fulfillment in life from doing something great. The story line itself is very allegorical and a bit trite, but what was really phenomenal about the show were the circus stunts, special effects/illusions, and costumes. The stunts especially were breathtaking! It was an absolute visual feast!!!!! Well, except for the fact that my view was blocked by a large, fat man with a shiny bald head so I was frequently craning my neck.

I was kinda surprised at the amount of people who brought small children to the show because THERE'S A FREAKING ONSTAGE ORGY AND HELLA CUSSING AND SEXUAL INNUENDOS AND SEX SCENES but different strokes for different folks, I guess!

Overall, Pippin was a grand old time and I would see it again and again! Preferably not behind a large man, I want to be able to take everything in at once.

It's gonna be a great day today, I just know it!

So far this morning I've taken my car in to get an oil change and tire rotation, and now I have to get ready to head up to Cleveland to see Pippin with Andy! I'm really looking forward to it!

2/6/15 (the rest of it)

Yesterday was ALSO uneventful, save for a few small moments. In Video Production, we played around with green screens all day which was incredibly fun, and the AP Bio test wasn't nearly as bad as I had thought it would be. The biggest thing from school was a new project that we were assigned in our Social Justice class. It's called the "Advocacy Project," and basically all we do is pick a social issue and do some sort of action outside of the classroom to raise funds/awareness for aiding it. I'm super pumped about this project since 1.) you're actually DOING something good for something that matters to you, and 2.) I have an awesome idea for my project, but practically everyone around me is steamed about having to do it! I don't really understand why, it's annoying really. But despite their crappy attitudes, I'm going to make the most of my project!

Last Night

Last night was a TON of fun! I picked up my friend Victoria who I used to do drama camp with and we had a fun night out. We went to Swenson's for dinner, which was fantastic as always, and then went to the mall to look for a dress for me for the winter formal. We found a fantastic one within 30 minutes, so after that we went around to a bunch of different stores. One of those stores was Hot Topic, and my friend Cameron works there. Victoria thought he was really cute and also incredibly cool, but being as shy about boys as she is, I told Cameron later on that she was into him, and it made him happy because he thought she was really really cute too! I'm just glad that they were both happy, and knowing that I made them somewhat happier makes me happy too!
