Tonight, Tonight

BAH.
I think West Side Story is the only love story I like. I know that it is basically Romeo and Juliet, but I like this version because Juliet lives. Not because I like happy endings, but Maria has the really great speech at the end, one of total anguish and grief, and I swear it gets me everytime. It really is such a powerful speech, and it makes me think that some of it is worth it. Plus, West Side Story has some of my favorite musical songs and the best choreography. All the glissades, arabesques and grand jetes! Bahhh, I want the soundtrack or the movie for my birthday. *sigh*

"How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?"

I know thats from a different musical, but the leads have the same name, so it made me think of that song. And that quote seems a little more relevant to my life at the moment. So even thought I just saw West Side Story, I think I'm going to go rent Sound of Music.

I decided since no one reads xanga anymore, it really has just become a place for me to talk about whatever I want and not feel judged. And a way for me to look back on whatever I was thinking at a certain time in my life, a good way to reflect, and remember. but it is more interesting to read it from a narrative point of view. So this is what I thought about today.

-the lifeguard at oceans of fun called me cute. i thought i looked kindof gross today, so it made my day.
-i always thought i was the oddball of my family, but i discovered today i am a lot like my aunt erin. we have many inside jokes from today, i must come up with fake theme music as a joke for the next time i see her.
-i'm sortof worried about the first week of school, but not about the school part. mmmmmmmghghghghshghg! must not become my sister!!!
-my tan is nice. on my legs. and arms. stomach=AH. whiteeeeeee. i'll remember that anytime i need to scare someone, flash them my stomach! muhahaha! also, mental note, work on evil laugh.
-um, i really need to quit at meadowbrook. i dont like it there. brooktree is so much nicer. but i figure i'll just finish working the rest of the summer, and maybe they won't even open next year?!
-i want amy to come home.
