Because life is about connections

[ladybranwen]

Thanks to goolover65 I will defeat the system and get to see The Nutcracker for $10. I so win! I did attempt to purchase a ticket earlier today, but found that I couldn't lie when directly asked if I was an undergrad. I mean, they probably had a list, anyways, so I would then be able to be charged under a violation of the honor code if I were to lie and say I was. But, I get to go, so yay! Thank you so much, goolover65.

Oh, and I'm singing a solo in the choir concert next week. My name is even in the program and spelt correctly. Take that, crazy lady! Now if only I could pronounce "dance" and "chance" in the non-British English way, I would be all set. Choir seems to get more fun every week.

I really didn't want to go to the internship today. But W and I went. We ended at an exciting point. One lady wrote a letter to the pastor (who apparently was anti-women being in top positions in the church) with two chapters from books they were using for the high school Sunday School class. One was for girls and one was for boys. We only had time to glance at it, but it seems pretty spicy. Things to look forward to for Thursday, I suppose.

We have to present both of our large papers written for archives during the next two weeks. Intelligent me, I selected an unpopular book for the book review, and a completely different topic for my research paper, so I will get no support, unlike the Women and Cookbooks book that over half the class reviewed. They get to present their findings together. And the people who did access or deassessioning, they get to do a group presentation of about 15 minutes. But no, I had to pick forgery and have to do a ten minute presentation by myself.

Just like I would pick progeria back in high school. Who talks about that for genetic research? Apparently, I did.

I missed most of the Felicity movie due to choir, but according to ladyshrew it seems to be as good as the Samantha movie was last year.

ETA: Should I be worried that I now have six different language versions of Presgurvic's Romeo et Juliette (and only two I really understand)? I think so.

...I didn't even know there was a Samantha movie last year! haha. I just watched because it happened to be on.

[ladybranwen.livejournal.com]

There was, and it was awful. And I had such high hopes for Felicity...

[ladyshrew.livejournal.com]

Well, the movie probably wasn't that bad an adaptation... I mean, it's a kids move based on a kids book. But you have to admit that Felicity's situation is kinda... well, silly. It was great back then, but there are issues of implausibility now that I'm um... Older and Hopefully Wiser.

[ladybranwen.livejournal.com]

Well, she never met TJ, right? That would have been very improbably (though I would probably still find it cool because I'm that kind of a dork).

And I guess considering they threw in all of her books in one movie, it wasn't all that bad. Or at least it seemed that there was more than one book in it.

[ladyshrew.livejournal.com]

I really don't remember. But I guess it must've been, because I'm pretty sure the thing with Penny was diff from the Christmas thing.

[grimms-creed.livejournal.com]

It looked so cute from the pictures! And... Felicity! So cool!

If there is ever a Kirsten movie, someone must tape it for me. Even if the movies aren't very good, I loved that doll (and her books), and would need to see the resulting movie.

Should I be ashamed that I made icons from it? I'm still hoping to catch the rerun of it, though I shouldn't because it is Sunday night and what should I be doing then? Studying for reference.

People thought that I was named Kirsten because of her. They liked to give me her books (though never her doll).

[grimms-creed.livejournal.com]

Nothing to be ashamed of. I wish I could have more icons....

When do you go back to NY?-- just out of curiousity

[ladybranwen.livejournal.com]

I am going back either the 19th or 20th, depending on when my parents are able to pick me up (cause they are flying home on the 19th).

Are you coming to Boston?

[sampaguita-blue.livejournal.com]

I wish... I'm just staring at a certain VHS I promised you... and wondering whether it'll get to you on time if I send it on Friday.

[ladybranwen.livejournal.com]

Speaking of that, can I ask a huge favor? And please feel free to say no. Since I can't watch video tapes and wanting to see this muchly, is there anyway that you could send me your dvd so I could make a copy of it and send it on home to you? I know that that is supremely risky to you, but I though I'd ask anyways. Sorry for being a bother.

[sampaguita-blue.livejournal.com]

I can do that...

Now I'm going to let Stephen Weber and his awesome acting skills make me cry.

<3 him.

[ladybranwen.livejournal.com]

You are too awesome for words, you know that. I'll even make you an extra copy(s) if you so desire.

Thanks so much.

Go enjoy him! :)

So should I be less worried because I "only" have five RetJ recordings? Or, wait, six counting the first French one... er... (Although three of the six are downloaded, so it's not too worrisome, right?)

[ladybranwen.livejournal.com]

Heh, you are much better than me, I should think. Four out of my six are downloaded. Still waiting for someone to put up the full Austrian version. I think I like that best out of the non-French ones.

We should be stopped!

[bewareofitalics]

...actually, your post inspired me to go figure out which one I was missing, and, well, I have now downloaded the Russian recording. Whoops. *g*

[marvellegirl.livejournal.com]

Yay! You got your cheap ticket!

Oh the crazy lady. I haven't thought of her in forever, but that incident was the first thing I thought of when you said you had a solo. What are you singing?

[sarahea.livejournal.com]

hahaha, yay for me because I know the crazy lady too! :-) so, I'm assuming she must have spelled your name wrong at some point... I don't specifically remember that incident, but I'm not surprised that it happened. and that's so awesome that you're doing a solo in the choir concer there. I hope it goes well! :-)

[goolover65.livejournal.com]

Okay, big problem. There were no tickets either time I went to get them. They were sold out both times. Bastardos! I'm sorry. I tried though! I'll give you your money back on Sunday.

[ladybranwen.livejournal.com]

Simmons College does hate me! But thank you for trying. I really do appreciate it.

And, Happy late Birthday! Did I totally miss you saying that you were having a birthday at practice, or what? We should have totally sung a birthday song for you.

[goolover65.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't really mention it to anyone.
