Crab Feast!

Yesterday was a lot of fun. I went to a crab feast going away party for my friend Joel who is going to be going to Frostburg. I was really sad to see him go, but the party was SO much fun! We did Karaoke and I had a lot of fun with some new friends.

I couldn't wait to get home last night though cause I slept so good the night before, and just really wanted to roll over and do that around 8. I went to bed around 11, cause I just had to watch at least two episodes of The Big Bang Theory since it *was* Saturday night.
Today I"m at Barnes and Noble. I bought my Highlight CD for the origignal Broadway Cast of Phantom of the Opera. I missed Michael so much. I just wish I had a CD ripper on my PC. Then I could really listen to it.

But you can bet I will definitely be ripping it to my iPod as soon as I get home. I intend to fall asleep listening to Michael Crawford tonight. Then I'll take the movie soundtrack off. I love the movie soundtrack, and i am forever grateful for the movie version as it was the only way I'd seen it until very recently, but I love my Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford version dearly.

While I was buying my Highlights DVD, I found the Albert Hall soundtrack, which,when I buy my DVD next month (for Albert Hall... and on BLuray!) I will be buying that, too. I have every version i've been able to find of Phantom of the Opera. Just because I really love the story, and I enjoy hearing everyone's versions. I can't even decide if I like one over the other. Just know that Michael is my favorite, and I doubt that's going to change. Though Gerard Butler is a very close second.

Also today, I"m RPing with Valerie, and getting more writing done on my Fan Novel. It's slow right now because I am dragging my feet on one particular scene with Johanna and Victoria.

Trivia: WHen I think of Victoria and Christien's singing voices.... Victoria's range is more like Emmy Rossum's in the movie version of The Phantom of the Opera, while Christien's in Michael Crawford. Jonathan Roba has the same voice as Patrick Wilson from the movie (Raoul). Carlotta was original performed by Kenny Underwood, and she held the original singer's tone, Judy Kaye. (I never really thought much about the rest of the cast, but now I think I might, so when I Do, I'l let you know!)

A Very LOng Day

So you know earlier I was at Barnes and Noble. Well, that wore thin very quickly. People were loud, Mostly people I don't know, and it got really taxing on my nerves. I don't take my anxiety medication during the day, just at night, so I was really on edge. My hookah helped a bit, but I still wish I would've had some kind of sedative, even if it didn't put me to sleep.

I got through the scene with Johanna and Victoria. It wasn't nearly as heart wrenching as it could've been, but I"m okay with that. Maybe they're just at a place where it isn't so hard anymore. Maybe having Victoria and Yami Bakura get into it at the restaurant was a good way to diffuse it. Heh.

Ordered my copy of The Magisterium #1: The Iron Trials by Cassandra Clare and Holly Black. I am SO excited about reading this book because it is a combination of two of my favorite authors. I need to really work on getting my Swagbucks up and up, so I can pre-order TFIOS before the 16th!!

I have another 10.00 worth coming in the next few days so that will be 20.00 off. I would like it at least 25.00 off. So maybe I'll get on ChatAbout, as well, and try and earn more. I feel pretty bad because I haven't been on in a while. They're pay out is a lot quicker than Swagbucks, which I have been trying to convince my friends of, but they all love Swagbucks, so that's the main reason why I still stay on there. Not to mention, I now have 2 active referrals, and they get me a shit ton, even if I do nothing, but I have been trying my best to do my part nowadays!!

Trivia: One of my first OCs for Yu gi oh was a five-year-old girl named Elizabeth. She was meant for Bakura, and that's where she lives, even though Kaiba takes care of her sometimes too. My second ever online alias came from that name, Lizzie. My first online alias was Lexi (named after my baby vampire, Alexia) from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer fandom.
