Update on life

Alright so right now i think im ok... i know... shocking isnt it? I mean there will always be turmoil in my life because I stress way more then I need to but for now I'm fine. I've had a very relaxing weekend and I got to see Kirby Heyborne and lyndsey's bishop in concert and i got to go to a forgotten charity concert... fun stuff.. It made my night to see all the kids from junior high there with their parents... reminds me of the first time I went to warped tour and my mom insisted on going.
So I haven't found my Yero yet but I'm not really in a big hurry to do so. I know my Yero will wait so i'm pretty content. When i do though... it's gonna be awesome =).
K so I found out that i have video editing software that comes with windows XP... I'm basically the happiest person ever right now lol. I'm trying to put all of the videos ive taken this year and last year and make a sort of "from high school to college" documentary... unfortunately it will probably just be put to music... no speaking. But when i finish it I'll post it.
I slept until 1pm yesterday then rolled out of bed and went with some friends to cafe rio... We were still in our pj's and I hadent even brished my hair. It was wonderful. I'm just so content right now... it's great =). I really should probably do some homework and be a little more concerned with school but it doesn't really matter right now... i need some me time =)
Oh and i bought rent yesterday at like 11:59! Jackie and i were like "Oh no it's almost sunday run run run! we have to get it before to be good people" it was funny. then we watched it at midnight and I stayed up till 5am working on my film.
I'm broken out, my hair is probably at its ugliest ever, I look like I havent slept in forever... but Im happy. I don't really care what I look like because of my new found revelation: My Yero won't care wherever my Yero may be
Well this has been Shannen. I'll write another blog probably tomorrow when im all depressed and dramatic again.

Midterms

Ahhh! going crazy over here! Everyone is. Last semester midterms were nice and spread out... this year??? Pure chaos! I have religion, biology, and american heritage all within a two day time span... what's happened to the world? Oh and I have an art history midterm tomorrow... My printer broke (Dad I need you!) so i have to draw all of the sculptures out by hand... it's been providing us with hours of entertainment. I tried to draw Venus of Willendorf... drawing has never really been my strong point. Other then that not much has been happening... there is, of course, the really big news but I can't say it... that's Jared's job... Anything else? I think my appendix may burst... possibly from lack of good nutrition... and I gave a presentation on Physician assisted suicide today... nice happy topic. I'm trying to figure out where Im going to live next year but I need to get my contract in soon so wish me luck... Well that's about it... No... wait... one more thing. i saw Aida yesterday at the Arts center... It was awesome! K now Im done.
PS: I dyed my hair... you can see it better in the second pic.

FIYERO!

Ok... i have yet another obsession... no... scratch that... i have a new passion (my roommates informed me that I'm not overly obsessive Im just passionate... i like that word better anyway). Ok so here it is... drumroll please ******* WICKED! Oh it's simply amazing although i must admit the book and the musical might as well be two completely different stories with borrowed characters... still they are both amazing! Unfortunately enough for me I came into it about a year too late. The original cast did it on Broadway for three years and just finished up recently. I haven't seen it live yet but that day will come. Here's a link to a performance of one of the more... popular... songs http://www.youtube.com/?v=Qltr8ssg6bI
So here's some background info on the musical/book. It's the story of the Wicked witch of the West and Galinda (or Glinda... depending on what part of the story you're at) the good witch. It's their story before Dorthy came into Oz. They were roommates (and friends) before "The Wizard of Oz" story. It gives an interesting view on the wicked witch... i've ended up despising Dorothy and loving Elphaba (the wicked witch). I suggest you all see it if you ever get the chance. The music is absolutely amazing! Oh and idina Menzel (who plays elphaba) is the coolest person ever. she has an amazing voice... so is Kristin chenoweth (who plays Glinda)... she's 4'11" and has the cutest voice ever! Alright well there's what my life is currently consumed by.
