wow. WOW. i totally forgot this thing existed. i was so bored today that i was looking at everyone's profiles and found a link to someone's livejournal. and here i am.

haha. and my last entry was my schedule for senior year. woww. a lot has happened since then. a lot. im trying to think about me then, and im finding thats a veryyy different person than me now. haha, what a year.

well. im in college. in fact, im in a bunch of colleges. i got into northwestern. and i really wanted to go there. but im not. because its expensive. so im going to Palm Beach Atlantic University. where i got a full scholarship, as long as i major in something music-ish. cool beans.

ive gotten pretty sick since then, too. which not too many people know about, but whatever. i've had a couple surgeries, but basically this major breathing issue i have is an enigma to every doctor ive been to so far. -shrug-.

the musical this year, how to succeed, is opening in less than two weeks. i'm vocal captain. i had a lot of extra work in the beginning, but now i really dont have too much more to do than any other ensemble member. wow. i feel like rehearsals just started. this is crazy. idk, its not nearly as fun this year as it has been other years, but maybe thats because were just not at that point yet where it gets really fun. i hope it does though, because im totally exhausted from it. and i want so badly for it all to be worth it.

im dating bryan. i figured i should just put that out there. considering, you know, it was sort of a big deal to a lot of people. lets see. one day shy of 4 months. i feel like ive been with him forever, though. but maybe thats just because i have.

lexi and gracie are my best friends. this was pretty much the way it was last time i posted, too. but now we've pretty much sealed the deal. i love them a lot. the end.

i hate band. i loathe it. so much. idk why i hate it this year soo much more than other years. but i do. i hate it sooo much. ugh.



so. this entry makes me sound depressed. im not though, i swear. i simply am exhausted. so much going on lately. im tired.
so, livejournal, whats been up with you?

well, since everyone else is doing it....

schedule for next year:

1. Band
2. Music Theory
3. Gym
4. Pre-Calc
5. English H
6. Lunch
7. Spanish 5
8. Chorus
9. European His

my life is officially ruined. marla wolfe, is taller than i am. i am not even kidding. i wouldn't joke about such a tragedy. i really dont know how this happened. this is depressing.

today, was not a good day for me.

FIRST OF ALL. today at lunch, the salt refused to come off of my pretzel. you see, i really hate eating pretzels with all the salt on them, but i DON'T like pretzels without salt either. what i like to do is take a salted pretzel, and brush the salt off so that the saltyness taste is still there, but the actual grains of salt are not. however, today, at lunch, the salt was like, UBER attached to the pretzel and it took SO LONG to get the pretzel the way i like it. IT WAS SO UPSETTING. it COMPLETELY ruined the rest of my day.



Not that it wasn't ALREADY bad, because all thursdays are never good. i HATE thursdays. because it means im stuck in physics for 2 whole periods. i could not possibly loathe that class any more than i do. i mean, doc fon is really a nice guy, but hes a terrible teacher. i havent understood anything this whole year, and he just GIVES me b's for the hell of it. i don't DESERVE them, he just gives them to me because i'm nice to him. its ridiculous. and i had to study my ass for for the midterm so i could do well, and even though i got an A (which was SO AWESOME), i barely even studied at all for anything else, because i had to spend so much fucking time on physics.

but anyway, its especially bad on lab days, because our labs are literally, i am not kidding you, 5 minutes long. FIVE MINUTES. and in a normal class, this would be awesome, because then i could go right down to lunch. but, since someone got doc fon in trouble ONCE about letting kids out early, he literally makes us sit there and do absolutely nothing but play minesweeper on the laptops until its time to go. he used to not check the times.. those were the good old days. but NOW he looks and goes by exactly 15 minutes before the period ends. it makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO SIT THERE AND DO NOTHING IF I CAN JUST GO DOWNSTAIRS AND EAT MY FUCKING LUNCH?!? ITS JUST NOT LOGICAL!

and also, i know i've said this before, but now its really true. both of my parents are losing their minds. they yelled at me at the dinner table tonight for being bratty, and how i have to pay for the insurance for my car when i get a license, or something like that. i dont even know. because, I NEVER HAVE EVEN HAD ONE CONVERSATION WITH THEM IN MY LIFE ABOUT A CAR. I DONT NEED A CAR. I'VE NEVER ONCE ASKED THEM FOR ONE. THEY'RE SERIOUSLY CRAZY. I'M NOT KIDDING. and when i was like, um.. i really dont know what youre talking about guys, theyre like, "STOP BEING FRESH. YOU ARE SO DISRESPECTFUL.. BLAH BLAH BLAH... YOU CAN DO NOTHING BUT STUDY UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE". which is, mostly the reasom i'm ranting about my terrible day.


AND MY BROTHERS BASS IS SO FUCKING LOUD. AND YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE'S BUYING TOMORROW!??? A BIGGER AMP. BIGGER. WHICH I WOULD ASSUME IS GOING TO MEAN EVEN LOUDER. WHICH I DIDNT KNOW WAS EVEN POSSIBLE. UUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.



oh jesus christ. i sounded like bryan in this entry. sigh. well, i feel a little better now.

so. i just got back from my vacation in florida. it wasnt very much of a vacation, because most of the time i had to spend helping my aunt move into her new awesome house they just built there.

so i only got ONE FREAKING DAY in disney world. it was all good though, because i found a hidden mickey on the "its a small world" ride and i was uber excited. then i missed my disney band people, because theyre the only ones who REALLY understand the awesomeness of finding a hidden mickey.

also, the day trip to disney caused a need for celebration, because my 6 year old cousin is now tall enough to ride every ride in the magic kingdom. he went on space mountain for the first time, and he hasnt been able to talk about anthing else since.




but anyway, i do have ONE story to tell..

i went to church for an easter vigil on saturday. and IT WAS IN SPANISH. i am not kidding. i sat through an ENTIRE MASS in SPANISH. what happened was, my whole family went to mass in the morning to get it over with, but i didnt go because they for some reason decided that they should let me sleep in and not wake me up. but i obviously stil had to go to church, because i mean, its EASTER, so i wasnt getting out of it. so anyway, my mom looks and finds this nighttime mass and drops me off there.
and i walk in and sit down. and all these mexican people are staring me down like i walked into the boys bathroom or something. and it turned out, it was a SPANISH MASS. i could not believe it. and i HAD to stay until my mom picked me up because my phone was DEAD. it was terrible. and the WHOLE TIME the mexican people were looking at me like, "why is this white girl at the spanish mass?!"
LIKE I WASNT WONDERING THE SAME THING MYSELF.
jeez. and churches are supposed to be WELCOMING. psh.

soo i realized i REALLY should update this thing, considering i really never do. and i have nothing better to do right now. so letss seeeee....

omg. so, for english, mrs. glucksman made it mandatory to write an essay for this essay contest. and it was about female role models to celebrate like, women's history or something. So i figured, okay, i hear my great grandma was pretty cool, i'll write about her! b/c like, my mom told me this cool story once about how she was like, one of the first major business women, and how the bamburgers dept store used her handwriting as their logo, before they changed the name to macy's.

so i, of course, end up writing the thing the day before its due, and realize how its probably going to be terrible, so ill put in some embellishments and deep, sappy, emotional stuff, and maybe shell give me a better grade. i ended up getting an A-. which is fine.

but then. on tuesday. i found out that i freaking WON THE CONTEST. and now i have to READ THIS FAKE ESSAY in front of a BAZILLION PEOPLE at the New Jersay Annual Women's Conference Luncheon next wednesday. god, the luck i have sometimes...

sooo i figured i should probably update since i havent in an uber long time. but, i have nothing to write about, so this is kind of pointless.

well, i finally saw the last 5 years! it was a pretty good production... the people's voices were very good, but it seemed like their acting was too, like, mechanical i guess. but it was exciting to actually see it. the next ten minutes song makes sooo much sense now. yay.

anddd were starting the week of little shop! very exciting. rehearsals hace been a lot of fun. haha. curtain calls were fun. yayyyyyyy. and basically, thats been my life for the past few weeks and it will be till its over. so i have nothing else to say. except to come see the show. because its good. and awesome. and fun. and yaayyyyyyyyyy.

Li'l Abner, today, was a complete disaster. Don't worry, there's a whole Lianne freaking out story about it.
So, if i haven't complained to EVERYONE about it already, I got sucked into helping out with the Heritage Middle School musical, Li'l Abner. This included, since the lighting kid decided not to show up for half the time, doing lighting for the show (which, btw, i had to learn as i went along, since i've never really done lighting before). So anyway, today was one of the days the kid wasn't there, so i was doing it by myself, and everything was going absolutely fine.

But , apparently there was a power surge or something, because i was just sitting there reading the script when all of a sudden, the lamp that we use to like, see stuff in the back, pretty much explodes. no, really. im being serious. the light bulb literally EXPLODED.

Now, i was so taken aback by this, and i was trying to figure out what happened, when i look to the moniter connected to the lighting board, and realize, it's blank. and then, caitlin goes, "lianne... um.. the stage.. its um.. the stage is black."

so i look up. and what do you know. the kids are going along with the show. IN DARKNESS. so im like, "OMGOMG OMG THE STAGE IS BLACK THE STAGE IS BLACK". so then mr russ storms in and is like "go backstage and use the emergency lights for blackouts. well try and fix it"

so i had to pretty much hope i knew when the blackouts were to turn these lights on, which btw turned all the lights on in the audience to, but you know, at least they could see.

anyway, so someone ran to radio shack during the show and bought a new fuse, b/c it turned out the fuse blew, and they fixed it. and apparently, "i stayed very calm". although, that was a complete lie. i was FREAKING OUT.





On the bright side, it was the closing performance, so the kids at the end gave out all the gifts. and i got one! little mazur announced my name and was like, "thanks to lianne kulik for doing pretty much everything backstage and helping everyone out so much... blah blah blah". it came as a complete surprise to me, and it somehow made this week from hell seem not so bad.

i ammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm so bored. haha. im SO happy midterms are over, though. like, especially happy. since i honestly expected the physics midterm to be like, death. but it wasnt! it was actually, probably my easiest one out of the all. ironic, considering it was the ony one i was worried about.

today is a very good day. because i bought the soundtrack of into the woods. and it is ao amazing. i totally forgot how much i really loved this show when i saw it. yay.

so basically, im just sitting here listening to into the woods and wasting time until i can get up and go to rehearsal.

oh god, and today my brother finds out if he made his volleyball team or not. i really hope he makes it, or else he'll just mope around the house for the next two weeks. that wont be fun.

sooo, im back from florida! and im soooo happy to be back. considering, i now hate my entire family. because we all had to share this tiny 2 bedroom condo since my family thought it would be "fun" and it would be like "camping out" since there were to many of us. honestly, my hip hurts SO BADLY from sleeping on the hard tile floor (they dont have wood floors in florida due to hurricanes) for a week. it wasnt so fun. however, the weather was beautiful and i rented a beach cruiser, so i spent the majority of my time riding a bike and listening to my iPod...

WHICH, btw, i got for christmas. the iPod, i mean. which is SO exciting, and im not really sure how i lived without one. its awesome. i already have like 600 songs on it.. the majority of it being musical theatre, but you know what. whatever. im a loser. im learning to deal with that.




ANYWAY.
the BEST story of the week is my june carter clap story!!!!!!!!!!!!!YAY!!!!!!!!

so i was in a movie theatre because my family wanted to see the chronicles of narnia, and in the lobby theyre having this huge trivia contest called "now playing", which i thought i was going to suck at since ive seen like no movies lately. but anyway.

i DID see walk the line before break with lexi and gracie, and theres this one part that spans literally about 2 seconds where they show june carter clapping, and she does the REALLY weird like, horizontal clap. but no one in the audience actually realized this considering, its really no big deal. except for the 3 of us, of course. we got OBSESSED with it. so bottom line: lexi and gracie and i have been obsessed with the june carter clap since we saw the movie.

but anyway, back to the story.

so im in the trivia game for a good amount of time, b/c they had like REALLY easy questions, and then finally they get to the final round and the guy asks the last question which is supposed to be this REALLY hard question that no one is going to get right. and the question is:

"in the movie, walk the line, based on the life of johnny cash, june carter cash does something a bit differently from how most people would do this. what does she do?"

or you know, something like that. and the answer was THE CLAP. and i IMMEDIATELY start doing the clap and singing our june carter clap song and i was SO EXCITED and then i started to scream ORANGE JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUIIIIIICEE, but then i saw everyone staring at me like i was crazy or something. not that i cant imagine why.

so yeah. basically, now i have a free ticket to a movie theatre in florida, which is completely useless to me. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



okay, well now that i think about it.. this was a bad story to tell on lj.. considering the only people that will really get it at all are lexi gracie and bryan. oh well. it was the highlight of my week. what can i say. happy new year everyonee

Ground Rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 weird habits of yours" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about 5 quirky habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names.


1. I can't keep still or quiet for more than 5 seconds. but, when someone else taps on their desk or something like that, it annoys the shit out of me.
2. When i get a song stuck in my head, i sing it to myself all through the hallways, leaving many people wondering if im talking to myself.
3. I am physically incapable of saying "thanks". instead, i say "muchas gracias". to everyone.
4. I try out to get into AP classes, get in, and then never take them. just to be able to say, "i couldve taken it, i just didn't"
5. I use the word, "uber" in everyday conversation to everyone. strangers, adults, even teachers. sometimes they get confused. others probably assume i'm pronouncing something incorrectly.


TAG: amanda, meryl, melissa, sra, lexi.

haha. sucks for you guys.

so. yesterday was the last show. kinda fun i guess. omg, but when i was walking to bryans car with laura, bryan, and bryans mom after the show, i totally slipped on black ice and was like, completely on the ground. it was embarrassing with bryans mom freaking out and such (she was SURE i broke something), but you know, whatever. at least laura did her dance! hehehe. ohhh, laura..

anyway... cast party was okay i guess. same as every year. well not really.. it was probably a little better than the other years. i feel really bad for josh, though. this is why i really dont like animals so much.

so yeah, now im paying for 3 weeks of practically no sleep, so i'm kind of sick and reaallly tired. my throat is KILLING me from all the screaming last night. ORANGE JUICEEEEEEE!!!! hehehe. that, and i have a runny nose. so i guess what i thought was allergies last night, wasn't. whoo hoo. the sucky thing is, though, this week nothing even calms down. chorus dress rehearsal tomorrow, then wednesday chorus concert.. then somewhere in between i have to audition for the musical. i really need to feel better.

You Are Most Like Mark! You are a very quiet, yet
loud and exciting at times, person who like's
to keep there emotions to themself. You have a
fasination with almost everything and everyone
around you and you are often caught filming
these people/events with a video camera. You
feel you must be the foundation of everyone and
try to hide from your emotions.


What Character from the musical 'RENT' are you most like?

another wonderful waste of time where i could have been doing math homework.. oh, well...

everyone is updating their lj's and has away messages up about how they're "visiting colleges" this whol weekend, and whatnot... well, what I'M doing this weekend is WAY MORE FUN (note: quite a large amount of sarcasm used in the last sentence), because i get to do CREW for LCP's THE SOUND OF MUSIC. and can i just tell you how much FUN that really is.

well. basically. its not. fun, i mean. not fun at all.

its just a whole lot of STRESS and its SO FREAKING ANNOYING and I HATE THE ENTIRE CAST. except for roy.. haha.. cuz i love saying his name... royyyyyy... hehehehhehheheheee

anyway. the cast is made up of the most annoying people i have ever met. i cant STAND them. and i cant STAND how JULIE (maria, the lead in the sound of music) thinks that im her freaking SERVANT just b/c im on crew. NO, JULIE, i cannot ALWAYS PUT YOUR STUPID GUITAR AND YOUR STUPID SUITCASE RIGHT IN YOUR HANDS BEFORE YOU GO ON STAGE. GOD.

well, it felt good getting that out. now ill go lay down so i can wake up and do another show tomorrow.

but if you have the time to see it this weekend or next weekend, you should really come, because there wasnt a really huge turn out of audience members for opening night. and LCP really does need the money. its not as bad as it seems when i talk about it. the people in the show are good actors.... theyre so mean to those backstage, but they seem SO NICE when theyre on stage. huh.

wow. i havent updated this in SO LONG.

but i feel the need to say:



thank god its over. because i seriously couldnt take much for of it. my feelings of relief are so unbelievably comforting right now, in a way that i cant even explain.

(btw, im sincerely sorry for the vague-ness, since normally i dont do that kind of thing. but this kind of calls for it. haha)

phewwww -wipes forehead-

Post a comment and...
1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
4. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
5. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
6. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
7. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. You MUST. It is written.


yeah, um... dont expect anything good... im a bad thinker.. im only doing this because apparently "it is written" and "i must".

OMG.

WORDS CANNOT EVEN DESCRIBE HOW GREAT TODAY WAS!!!!!!

bryan, lexi, gracie, and i went to new york and saw DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS and it was SO GOOD. norbert leo butz is AMAZING. his voice is like, incomparable. to anything. and the show was so funny. i really enjoyed it. but anyway, first we went to the stardust diner with singing waitors and it was a lot of fun. haha, and the waitress sang to bryan, and he got all red!! hehehehehe... oh, bryan..

but ANYWAY the best part EVER of the whole day was after the show, when we decided to wait at the stage door, and we MET NORBERT LEO BUTZ. HOLY CRAP. SO COOL. hes like, the coolest guy ever. i love him. we got his autograph and pictures of him, and we got to talk to him and everything!!! so cool. we also got the french guys autograph and the girl who played the lead (even though shes not the normal person, she was the understudy). they were both really nice. but YEAH. NORBERT LEO BUTZ. SO EXCITING. im still going to be obsessed for like, all of tomorrow, too, btw, so be prepared.

so yeah. i had a great time.

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, i did a whole lot of nothing today.

well actually, i did my homework. and i did it all really diligently and everything cuz my mom said we were leaving for belmar to have dinner and stuff with my grandparents. but then all of a sudden, she changed her mind, and like, totally didnt tell me. so i did all my homework and worked really hard for like 2 hours straight, for absolutely nothing.

but anyway, then i drove for the first time in like, a month. i drove to the willowbrook mall where my mom and i ate at CPK/ got crystal's present. (whose party btw, i am so phyched for). OH and then we went into this music store and i got the godspell soundtrack. which i've wanted really bad ever since i saw it this summer. yep.

annnnnnnnnnnd....... then i was so bored that i finished making up the rest of my arrangement on the piano for colors of the wind, from pocahantas. its so hot. i heart it.

and that was pretty much my day. yep.

UGH. I AM SO PISSED RIGHT NOW. AT MARCHING BAND IN GENERAL. ITS ALL SO STUPID.

so, today edith and i went to mr. h, brian, and jared to get them to let us march on the field with the cadence. and we were totally capable of talking to them ourselves, but michelle tagged along anyway. well, it is pretty much a lost cause..

first, they said that it was would make us look stupid walking out there with the drums, but then staying pitted for the rest of the show. which is a bunch of BS considering we did that last year, and won best drumline. we must have looked SO BAD last year that they gave us BEST DRUMLINE. W.T.F.

and then they started saying how we only have ONE OR TWO parents on pit crew. which is an even BIGGER LIE because i KNOW all the parents PERSONALLY and it includes MY OWN. so i started listing all the parents. and they had absolutely NOTHING to say about that. because they KNEW I WAS RIGHT.

so then they were like, if youre that passionate about it, well try it out at fottball games, but absolutely not for any competitions what-so-ever.

and then MICHELLE has to be all on their side and say, "i TOLD edith and lianne that you said that to me, and that you werent going to change your mind, mr. h, but they just wouldnt listen." THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN, CAPTAIN.

i mean, honestly, if this is the way its going to be, id rather carry the big heavy drums and march the whole show next year. at least we'd be considered part of the marching band. i mean, the asst director has absolutely no clue who any of the durmline members even ARE. and mr. h only worries about us like 5 minutes out of the whole rehearsal, unless were so BORED OUT OF OUR MINDS that we start talking and stuf and get in trouble. honestly, right now, we do so little and gain no respect from anyone else in the band, and rightfully so. its all so dumb. i just wanna march. and all we want is our cadence. everyone is so stupid.
