  Going to camp. For two months. If I like you, write to me. If not, well, you can write to me anyway, seeing as the people I like probably won't be writing to me, because they probably hate me. So, yeah.

Adios, amigos.

  So, found this video of a modern nazi movement. It's a bit more than a little scary.

Story!

mood: tired
This is a story which I wrote in a condensed version at camp for a little "fantasy" program that we had with our age group. The idea was pretty cool, so i elaborated it.

  The poem I just posted has a part in an article I wrote for my school newspaper, also having to do with the Holocaust. Without further ado, here is ( Binders on Bookshelves and Pieces of Puzzles )

  I'm going to post this poem as a yearly thing for Yom Hashoah. If it is unclear, it is spoken by a Holocaust survivor.

so it has come to my attention that nobody reads this. pretty good assumption? I think so. I'm considering cancelling it. If you have any remarks, or beggings for me to not cancel, comment. I honestly probably am not going to, because I'm lazy and I like having a username when i comment on other people's lj's. but still, this may not be here in a while.

  So here's what you do.
Respond to this entry, and ...
1. I'll respond with something random I like about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll name something we should do together.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll leave you a quote that is somehow appropriate to you.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. You MUST!

Thanks be to Rina (anir107)

mood: working
I visited Kushner on Friday, which made me happy, because I got to see people. Like, Rina, Serena, Rebecca, Tikva, Debbie, Jessica, Emily, Perry, Jake, Rafi, and so on... made me really happy
and I was really glad to see Rina and Tikva when I wasn't going nuts and ignoring them(when they helped me with scenery) because I really don't hate them, and I think they thought I did afterward. Sorry, guys! I really do like spending time with you, but I was unbelievably stressed right then.

anyway...
I got back from California trip with Hazamir that morning. It. Was. AWESOME!
yes, I will put jokes on, and details, but right now I have a research paper to do.

mood: content
I would really really appreciate it if my mother would stop asking me about my sister's personal life.

Anyway, last night was callbacks for teen cabaret. It was nice, I saw a bunch of Newsies people. Not for very long though, because I had to go to yet another performance of Once upon a Mattress. (Yes, it's still going on. Sat. night at 8:00 and Sunday afternoon at 3:00.) I performed a monologue from a play called, " 'Denity Crisis" by Christopher Durang, entitled "Peter Pan". This is not the Peter Pan you are used to. It is vaguely disturbing and more than a little weird.

I have strange friends.
All credit for this goes to Ryan Rolandelli, who's twisted yet vaguely amusing mind felt the need to come up with something like this.

hehe.

mood: lethargic
Back from Israel! not that anybody actually acknowledged the fact that I was gone for 2 weeks...
I wont go into details here. If you want 'em, call me.

So, since I have no life, I decided what casting would be in terms of the Newsies cast for Disney's Hercules. And here it is:

Hercules(main) - Gary
Young Hercules - James
Meg - Brenda
Hades - Joe (Rac)
Muses - Me, the Amandas, Debbie, Melanie
Phil - Dave (Colicchio)
Pegasus - Joel (Davis)
Pain - Chris
Panic - Conner
Zeus - Ryan
Hera - Penina
Hercules' mortal mother - Hannah
Hercules' mortal father - David (Gutman)
Mercury - Aaron
The fates(weird sisters with the one eye) - Maya, Sarah, (ran out of girls, I guess u could use a boy from the "ensemble")
"ensemble" (maybe titans and other bad guys)- Joel Peitzer, Joe Luftman, Jason


Feel free to edit - this was just me being weird.

It's over   
05:19pm 19/12/2005
 
mood: wishing it wasn't over
music: If I had it, I'd be listening to Newsies
It's over. I think I'm gonna cry.

Newsies at the JCC. absolutely the best group of people I've ever worked with. hands down. except maybe... COUGHConnerCOUGH!!! no seriously, it was amazing. Cast party must be soon, but not too soon. The times were amazing. (not to mention that we kicked major butt.)

To remember: Joe's numerous backflips, breakdancing to "All I want for Christmas (is you)" at intermission, Amanda (lederman)'s obsession with the "Kootchie-Coo" dance, Joel's dancing, Ryan's ad-libbing, Colicchio almost killing himself (more than once, I might add), Colicchio almost killing me (also more than once), Gary slipping on newspaper during dress rehearsal, my mike getting caught on Brenda's shirt, Amanda (Brown) screaming in the bathroom, Penina"s "If I go out like this, it looks like I just had sex!", Melanie attacking me with the newspaper on the last night, Joe's british accent, James attempting to ad-lib and failing utterly, breaking the crutch, "Patrick, Spot and Jack's illegitimate son" - (samara...wtf?) and, of course, the joke that will never die: "You uh, you got some nice...uh...windows, on your house." Im sure i've missed people and jokes. the point is, it was amazing.

Yeah, major PPLD (post-production let-down) going on right now. Keep in touch all, i expect to see you again, (and you should do the next play). Carrying the Banner, Seize the day, all that jazz.

Miss you all.

Just came back from Clowning. It's amazing what some face paint and colorful clothing can do to your inhibitions.

So yesterday was the Hazamir shabbatonness. It was actually fun.

"DONKEYDONKEYDONKEYDONKEYDONKEYDONKEYDONKEY!!!" - Marissa

Saw a trailer for PotC 2, It comes out in the summer, so im gonna cry. I need to see it on the big screen, and im not going to get to. I thought it was gonna be awful, because u really cant make something as good as the original was. Generally, when a sequel is made to a movie that is not made for the sole purpose of having a sequel, it sucks. The trailer, though, actually makes it look pretty good.

Talked to Jake online last night, I had forgotten how much he makes me laugh.
Bigjake991: I am going to go take a shower now and then I am going to go to sleep because I am tired and it is late and did you notice that I did not abbreviate any words in this sentence.

If anyone has a vest/button-down shirt/anything that I can use for a Newsies costume, I really need something. Thanks.

I have a strange burning sensation in my eyes, and I'm not sure why. Ah, well.

The holidays are OVER!!!!!!!!!   
07:09pm 26/10/2005
 
mood: relaxed
music: Notice me Horton - Seussical
well, all craziness has FINALLY passed. God, Tishrei lasts forever. more so when your parents are in charge of everything.
I have rediscovered Sherlock Holmes, although I might have to drop it soon. I need to finish my book within a year. I was talking to my mom about how it would be really cool if i could get it published even though the chances of that happening are less likely than me winning the lottery. she said that if i finish it within a year, though, she could start the process and send it to a real editor, and maybe it would get published before i graduate college. COOL!!!!! not gonna happen, but if it did, that would be un-friggin-beleivable. I could be the next Christopher Paolini! (Ok, Tamar, don't get carried away)
Anyway, i read The Sign Of Four, and I read the entire book of A Study In Scarlet on Monday night. Fun. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is such a good writer. Probably second only to J.R.R Tolkien. Have I mentioned recently that I absolutely Love The Lord of the Rings? Well I do.
And another thing that I rediscovered: Seussical. Weird plot, good songs. And who doesn't love Dr. Seuss?
