Musical!

I can't think of a unique hello, but musical season is starting up again! Almost to the 1 year mark!

I auditioned on Saturday. Unfortunately, I didn't get called back for a lead, but a lot of my friends did, and I wish them the best of luck!

Our musical this year is Miss Saigon, based off of an opera named Madame Butterfly. I am really looking forward as to how we'll put this musical together! I know my friends are all excited!

I also found another thing that I hate:

11. When people draw smileys sideways, like this: :). NO. The internet version is a compromise of how it's supposed to be drawn. Just... no.

And that's about it.

So, anyways.

The More you Knooow!

Hi Guys!

Sorry, I haven't posted in a while, but here is one that’s sure to be funny:

Things I Hate and Things I Love!

I Hate:

1. When people say that their hair-dye is semi-permanent. No. There is permanent and wuss. (Also known as not permanent.)

2. When people felt stuff that is not small but not huge, like the size of your fist or something.

3. When people ask me why I wear 3D glasses. Just…

4. Mint gum. It is waaay too strong to be enjoyable. I’ve never enjoyed it. 

5. Avocados.

6. When you lose one ear bud but not the other.

7. Girls whos’ values come straight out of a magazine. OK, sure, you can be a Barbie doll if you want, but just because you don’t feel good about your body, and you’re not self-confident doesn’t mean I have to. And because I don’t, it doesn’t mean you have to hate me.

8. When the only reason advocate against gay marriage is because they feel uncomfortable talking to their kids about it. I mean, people can’t be happy and legally have a family because you’re afraid to talk to your freaking kid for five minutes about a natural part of life? Are you serious?

9. The duck face. Just... no.

10. Printers in general. They’re helpful, but weirdly creepy and noisy. Not my cup of tea.

I Love:

1. Minty toothpicks. I know it’s weird, but…

2. The feeling of finishing a story/song/play/etc.

3. Sushi!

4. Indie music. 

5. The feeling of looking out at your friends when each of them is unique, and appreciating it. I love my friends, and strive to be the kind of person people appreciate like that. 

6. When people in general aren’t afraid to be FAHBULOUS!

7. Capitol Citizens. (Remind me to post my pictures of my costume…) 

8. Fruity gum.

9. Guacamole.

10. Horror movies.

And now you know a bit about me.

So, anyways...

Elektra Out.

Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I guarantee that that's probably the most common phrase you'll hear today.

Especially if you have people over.

My Thanksgiving day is going to mostly consist of smoking a turkey for seven and a half hours.

SEVEN AND A HALF HOURS.

So, I will be having a lot of fun today!

But, here are some things I am thankful for:

1. My peers. I mean, being able to look around my school and see that each and every one of us is different.
2. Being able to afford food, a roof over my head, and a place to sleep in.
3. My family. Pretty self explanatory.
4. That the zombie apocalypse hasn't started yet.
5. Mint toothpicks.
6. Animals.
7. Plants.
And last but not least (in fact one of the bigger ones, I probably should have put it at #4....)
8. YOU GUYS!

I love every one of these things, and I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

So, anyways.

Who Needs Christmas Presents?

Hello.

Okay, so this is gonna be kind of a boring post, but I've got a good one planned for my next one.

And I know what I'm going to be for Halloween next year.

And I preformed in my school's talent show last night!

But, the message of this post:

Who needs Christmas presents?

Not me.

Let me explain.

One day, while sitting at home, blogging, I checked my (real) mail. I saw a pamphlet, and on the front, it said, "Heifer." I opened the pamphlet, and looked at all the animals you could donate to some rural community to help their village out. And then I looked at the last page of the pamphlet.

On the last page of the pamphlet was something called the "Gift Ark." It costs 5,000 dollars. And it gives two of every animal you could possibly donate from Heifer. That's two oxen, two donkeys, two water buffalo, two cows, two sheep, two goats, two llamas, two chickens, two ducks, two geese, two rabbits, some honeybees, two pigs, and two camels. Get why it's called the "Ark?"

On the pamphlet there was also a letter from a little girl. Her village had received the Gift Ark, and because her family could support itself, she could go to elementary school. She talked about the stuff she was learning. She said it was the best gift in her life.

The best gift in her life.

So, how happy would I be if I got a new pair of combat boots?

Pretty happy.

But how happy would a little boy be if he could go to school for the first time in his life?

Amazed.

So, this year, in lieu of presents, I am going to ask for donations. And I am going to donate every bit of that money to Heifer, until I can get some village that Gift Ark.

If I don't rack up the money, I'll sell lemonade. I'll do chores. I'll make a charity album. Or something, but I will get that money.

So a little boy can get the best gift in the world.

So, anyways.

Elektra Out.

Haro! How you been?

I got a hat. With a bird on it. In a nest. With a hat. I'm wearing it tomorrow to school today. It is probably the best headband ever.

In writing this post, I am putting off doing my homework. And changing the names of the Fishies. I am so productive.

I am not excited. At all. For anything. And that, folks, is what makes for a bad blog post.

I felt bad because it's been since Halloween since I posted anything.

I have also received a couple of emails telling me that the Fishies part of my blog is so distracting.

Well, great. I play with it sometimes when I'm bored.

I am listening A LOT to Foster the People on Grooveshark. I am listed as "Elektra Greene" on there. Follow me, message me if you want. I don't care.

I really like "Life on the Nickel" and "Helena Beat" by them. I know that those songs are really, well, computer made, but they're fun to listen to.

And now, abstract smiley face time!

:L The "Awkwardness... is Unbearable" face/"Well, You're Just Gonna Have to Deal With it" face.
:| The "Meh" face
:K The "I have a Bow Tie for a Mouth" face
:@ The "Eating Apple or Apple Pie or Possibly an iPhone" face.
!D The "I Look Like a Retard While I'm Winking" face.
and, lastly, the...
:^ The "Bird's Word" face. That one's for you, Sid.

Happy Halloween!

Hey Guys!

So, it's been a while, but right now I am SHO ECXSHITED FOR HALLOWEEN!!

What are you going to be? (or are.) I am a Capitol Citizen. Pictures later!

Also, there were some winners for the FISHIES CONTEST!!!

1. The Awesomest Fish That Ever Lived in the World
2. Mr. Turtuse
3. Edgar
4. Murphy
and...
5. Nerp

I really like these names. Thank you so much for participating!

Now I have to decide which fish to name which.

Could I use a little help?....

Anyways, have a Happy Halloween!

And may the odds be ever in your favor!

So, Anyways...

Elektra Out.

CONTESTS! ERMAHGERD!

Mmm-kay.

So I was playing with the FISHIES! gadget at the bottom of my blog, and I thought to myself, "Why do these cute fishes not have AWESOME names?"

And so, for the first time in history, I am having a...

FISH NAMING CONTEST!

As you can probably tell from scrolling down, the fishies' current names are:

Bob, Joe, Ernie, Nub, and Priscilla.

But, personally bros, I think that you can do better.

So, if you want to help me out, just email me with a name and possibly a reason for why you like that name at elektrabgreene@gmail.com.

And if you want to be anonymous, or have a pseudonym, then just say:

I want to be called ____.

Or something like that.

I will choose the 5 best names and proudly display them above the Fishies App-thing!

I will also have honorable mentions.

Feel free to submit more than one.

The contest starts in...

5...
4...
3...
2...
1!

Now go! And NAME THAT FISH!

You have 2 weeks.

And also, I will be posting a poll about which Fishie's name is best.

Or I'll just decide myself.

So, anyways, guys, thank you so much for reading, and I will see you LATER!

So, anyways...

Hello, Again!

Salutations!

I juist went thrift shopping. I love vintage clothes. Just as you probably guessed.

I was shopping for my outfit for Halloween. I am so sorry I cannot tell you what it is. But I will! Someday...

I also got gloves and lime green suspenders. And a student discount. Yes!

That's Empire Vintage Clothes, people.

So, anyways... I don't really have anything to say!

For the first time ever, I don't have anything to say!

Tomorrow, I'm going to film a video of my one (and a half) songs.

Let's hope it's not late!

So, anyways...

Elektra Out.

I am SO ANNOYED.

Hey-o.

How is it in the land of not-Australia? Because my sister has turned my home into an Aussie madhouse. She just watched an A.N.T. Farm (Disney... I will find where you live,...) and now runs around the house yelling "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie?" and waiting for her "Oy, Oy, Oy!"

I hate my life.

Elektra Out.

Sorry.

This is a somber post.

Sorry, bros. Sorry, homies. In fact, sorry to all y'all.

My blog has still been getting a lot of hits -- thanks for the support, guys -- but I haven't posted.

Alas, summer camps and sleepovers have gotten the most of this blogger, and I have not posted.

But, NEVER FEAR!

I have gotten my laptop back and will continue posting as per schedule.

Plus, I haz some QUESTIONS TO ANSWER!

anonymous1637 asks:

When did you first put on your glasses, and how did it feel?

I got back from the movie theater, put them on the next morning, and it was like, BAM! Level up! Pure awesomeness.

anonymous8273 says:

NYAN NYAN NYAN.

I say: NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN!

OK, that's all. Bye bros!

Stanford Jazz Workshop!

Hey, guys!


How's it going? I just had one of the best weeks ever, at the...


Stanford Jazz Workshop!


I actually have a video of one of my rehearsals, which I will upload as soon as I figure out how to upload videos from iPhones. Onto HPs. Grrr!


I had an AHMAZING time, and am going next week -- staying in the dorms!


Also, I have made myself a Gmail, so that you guys can contact me!


It is:
elektrabgreene@gmail.com


I know there's no period, but (I'm going to rant now,) isn't it annoying when there's a period after a link? If you try to highlight it you accidentally highlight the period, as well, and you computer is like 'Y U NO ENTER RIGHT ADDRESS!' and gets mad at you, and... whatever. Phewf!


Just email me to ask a question or something, or just to say hi. I'm really excited, so I'll try to check it daily. But PLEASE, NO SPAM. I hate that SO MUCH.


Also, a lot of passwords (1,000,000) were released from Google, so check your accounts. I know mine got hacked.


So, anyways...

Finishing up With New Orleans

New Orleans was really fun, but sadly, we had to leave. Oh, wait. I didn't finish the story.


Phewf. Well, we went to the AMAZING hair place called Beauty on de Bayou. I highly recommend it. It was really amazing, and I really enjoyed it. I got this AWESOME hairdo, and it looks like a seashell. The person who did my hair had some fascinating stories about Hurricane Katrina, and I really enjoyed hearing them.


Then we drove down to the end of the Mississippi River, and hid a cache. It was really fun. I shouldn't have told you about that cache. Whoops. Whatever.


You didn't hear anything... (does that penguin twirly... hand... thingy... motion, [c'mon, Madagascar, anybody?] and then realize I look retarded, go to the bathroom, and work on it until I get interested in some book and read it for an hour or so, and then scold myself for not working on my blog.)


We drove up the Mississippi, to Baton Rouge, spent the night and kept rolling (bah bah bah, rollin' yeah, rollin' down the River!) And that's Baton Rouge.


We drove up to Natches, and got some cotton, for my Humanities teacher, and saw this fascinating museum about African-American abolitionists, and continued on up to Vicksburg, where we learned about the battle. Here is a link about the significance of the battle.

We drove up to Clarksdale, which was pretty boring.



There actually is a funny story there. We were in the hotel, and we had left some stuff in the car. I had to go get it, but when I tried to open the door to get back into the hotel, it didn't work. I had to go through a dark alleyway on the side of the hotel. I went into the alley, but (gasp!) got stopped by a cop.


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! He questioned me about a murder and robbery, and then let me go. It was scary.


And then we went to a bunch of other places, which I will write about LATER!


Sorry this post wasn't funny.


So, anyways.

New Orleans (The Formatting Is Probably Horrible. I Hate Blogging on iPads.)

Hey Y'all!


That's how they say things down in the south, which is where I am. But I digress, and y'all are probably confused.


Let me explain.


I am on a road trip (ugh,) along the Mississippi river. I have not been posting, and I am sorry. But, I was just in New Orleans! It was so fun! I did not get any hats or masks, but I did visit the MOST AWESOME HAT SHOP EVER. Since hats are kinda my passion, this was an AMAZING visit. Next time you're in NOLA, check this out. It's at 523 Royale Ave.


We also checked into an airport hotel for the first night. Since my mom stays in Marriots a lot, we got upgraded to a suite automatically. The attendant didn't ask how many beds we needed, so we just got one. Well that was OK, because we got a *SOFA BED!*


Actually, it was hard to open the bed, but when we did we ran away screaming from the room and cussing.


I am laughing at this point because it would have been so funny to watch. Reality TV, maybe?


There was poop in the bed. Ha ha.


The only way it would have been funnier is if there was a raccoon in the bed, as well. He would have been like "What the hell'a *you* doing in here?!


Yawn. I'm tired. I'm in Vicksburg, and am going to Clarksdale tomorrow, so if any of you are there, tell me!


So, Anyways...

Stupid Lyrics... Seriously Though, I'm Sick of This.

Hello.


First off, my title probably looks weird. I Have an Excessive Compulsive Habit for Capitalizing. In case you didn't know. :)


I can't believe I did that. :)?


*cringe.*


But, as you may also notice from the title, this is a joke post. So here we go.


This is a compilation of the All Time Stupidest Modern Lyrics I Have Ever Heard! It's a very esteemed reward.


Pitbull, Give Me Everything
Me now working hard?
Yea, right, picture that with a Kodak
And better yet, go to Times Square
Take a picture of me with a Kodak

*Facepalm.* I don't even know... I-I-... Whatever.

Pitbull, Give Me Everything

Took my life from negative to positive

Just want y'all to know that.

That's great for you Pitbull, you millionaire, you... I'm just kidding. I don't care! It's from the same song as before, but this one just deserves its own medal for stupidity.

Maroon 5, Payphone

You turned out the lights

Now I'm paralyzed.

Seriously? Cause that would suck. Besides being just plain weird, this isn't even poetic! (I'm pretending to be Simon, if you can't tell.) I don't care about your weird disabilities. (And yes, you M5 lovers, I dare to hate on Payphone.)

Maroon 5, Payphone

If fairytales did exist,

I would still be holding you like this.

(--Twice.) Wait. Hol'up, hol'up, hol'up. You are hugging her?! I thought this whole song was about being away from her, not hugging her. I am done with you.

Nicki Minaj, Starships

Jump in my hoopty hoopty hoop

I own that.

I ain't paying my rent this month

I owe that.

Should stop writing (this song) cuz we're so high... What is a hoopty hoopty hoop? If it's what I think it is, (a hula hoop,) then you don't jump in hula hoops. You just don't. And of course you owe your rent. Looking for rhymes, much? (I write songs, so...) Just embrace the stupidity of this.

Nicki Minaj, Starships

Dance our lives, there's no end in sight

Twinkle twinkle little star.

(Slowly backs away...)

Dev, In the Dark

It's the cataracts.

IT'S THE CATARACTS. It's the cataracts???!! WHAT???!!!

Flo Rida, Wild Ones

Music I might lose it.

Blast to the roof cuz that's how we do'z it.

Besides being gramatically iffy, this is in a song. Think about that.

Cookie Monsta, Me Want Cookie

Dun dun dun dun dun COOKIE! Wub wub wub wub wub shashink sshr sshr sshr sshr sshr COOKIE!

So. Deep. That's dubstep for ya.

And that's all! Hate messages may now cease! (For now.)

And I got a GREEN IPOD NANO (which was my inspiration for this post.)

So, anyways.

Elektra Out.

EEEEEW!

Haro!

Guess what?

I. Drank. Tonic Water. It was GROSS!

I thought Tonic Water was sparkling water. But it's not, as I now know.

NEVER TRY IT.

OK, this was short, but I'll post more later.

So. Anyways.

Really Scary Stuff, and... How's it Goin'?

Hey Guys!


Nuthin' much goin' on round these parts. I got this AWESOME new skirt, which is made completely out of ties! And it came with suspenders, so... I'm good.


I am currently writing this amidst a crowd of 2nd Graders pretending to beat up a bunch of 6th graders and put them in straitjackets, and they're currently succeeding. Sometimes...


Our school year is wrapping up, and everything is going SO FAST!! I'm sorry I haven't been posting, but I just went to Washington DC for a class trip! It was so fun, and now I'm inspired!


Now here's a poem. It's for a special someone, (ahem, ahem, Ethan.) No, it's not what you think.


P.S., it's a haiku.

Dear Ethan

Thank you for that comic.

The one that really scared me.

I hate you for that.

It was so terrifying.

That crazy-ass woman

Running at you and screaming.

We all screamed, too.

And jumped away from computer.

I'm out to get you now.

And that's it. Pardon my french. And Ethan, heed my warning. I am.

If you want to see that scary woman, click here: http://comic.naver.com/webtoon/detail.nhn?titleId=350217&no=31 .

Rehearsal and Stuff.

Hey, Guys!

Guess. What. I have been in a show for a long while -- (Aida -- check it out. It's really cool, and I have a song in it. Maybe I'll post the adress and stuff some other time.)

We get to wear stage make-up and have corn rows and stuff for the musical, and I must say, girl, I look GREAT!! (At least I think I do.) We all skateboard around during free time, and today we got through the show in 3.5 HOURS!! (Our previous record was 14.) I'm so excited!!

5 bad things happened in musical rehearsal today.

1: A lead got sick.
2: A supporting lead got sick from the lead.
3: Our stage crew director got hit in the knee with a stage-set-thing. Literally down for the whole day.
4: The Tech Director hit his head on something and developed a giant gash, and had to get stitches in the middle of the day.
5: A cast member closed her foot in the door, and, well, let's just say it was... disturbing. ER disturbing.

Also, something CUUH-RAZY happened in musical today. What was it?

a.) A person on stage crew got caught on stage, so he grabbed a knife and started to fight with the actors.
b) Two eighth graders were showing a young kid the difference between a stage-kiss and a real kiss, so they stage-kissed, and kissed... and kissed... and kissed...
c.) Someone's pants fell off while acting, so they just pulled 'em off and did the scene in underwear. (PANSONDAGROUND!! PANSONDAGROUND!!)
d.) The smoke machine set the smoke detector off. (Herp, derp, boring.)

I'll post a poll or something.

So, anyways.

Boringness and Funniness.

Hello, World!


I know I have not been fulfilling my latest blogging duties. If you're now uninterested... well, I hope you're not. But if you weren't interested, how would you know that I still want you to be interested, but you wouldn't be reading this... Ah, I digress.


The real reason I have this post is to, one, let you know that I will try to blog every day from now on, and, two, to let you know that I will be starting a few story-blogs. They will be blogs of different people, as they're living out their life and crazy things will happen to them. I hope you enjoy!


This weekend was boring. We had rehearsal, and usually that's fun, but this weekend it was really tedious and boring. But we won a volleyball game!! I'm so happy. But some people on the other team were really mad that they lost. As in, they wouldn't high-five us, mad. How's that for good sportsmanship? Seriously?


And also, we're going to a different state -- not saying which -- for our school annual field trip. I have to stock up o my disguises, because I plan to act like a different person every day. I'm so excited!


I am typing on one of those old-fashioned keyboards, that, after 10 seconds it hurts to write with, because you have to press the stupid keys so hard. It really sucks, and the keys are -- I swear -- all filled with food and fuzz from other lazy people who've used it before me. That's what you get for updating your blog at school (after school, mind you.) 


AND I GOT A FASCINATOR!! It's a funny name, but it's, like, a mini-hat with fishnet that goes over your face. Mine is pink ad black. I can't really show you guys right now, but it's AMAZING!!


So, I guess this one wasn't as funny, but to make up for it, here's a POP QUIZ!!!


Do you like waffles?


a.) Yes, I like waffles.
b.) No, I like pancakes.
c.) No, I like french toast.
d.) NOOOOOOO!!! SHUT UP!!


My answer is d. I am sick of hearing that song. I'll put a poll up, or something.


So, anyways...

The DANCE!!

Hello, World.


YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!! (Sorry about your eyes, man, but) THERE'S A FRICKING DANCE TONIGHT!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!


I'm really excited, not about asking anybody out or anything (already had one too many disasters with that,) but because it's so cool to see your friends livin' the nightlife. So. Cool. Plus, we get to wear all of these cool, fancy dresses. I'm getting ready right now. I'll upload a picture of my dress.

Awesomeness!! (PS. I'm wearing red pumps.)

Also, guess what?


I HAVE STARTED A TREND. Of wearing those glasses I always wear. Even the Japanese Exchange students have started to. And it's all because of me. I'm so proud. *sobs* *sobs* *wipes tears*


So, anyways.


Elektra Out.

Oh, yeah, I forgot this in my last post.

Hats, Water Balloons and Finder.

Hey, Y'all!


Yes, I did just say that.


So, anyways, guess what happened yesterday:


We connected all of these rubberbands to a water balloon and bungee jumped them off of the 18-foot J Building. It was AHMAHZING!!! Ours survived the first drop by 0.5 inches, but crashed on the second one. We'll miss ya, Walter!


Also, I wore my hat today. It is a good hat that I made, all green and fluffy. It's got  a poof on the top of it -- here's a picture.

He looks a little depressed in that picture. What about  this one?

Okay, now I look depressed. Meh. I give up.

Anyways, time for me to:

RANT ABOUT FINDER!! (Yay?)

Finder annoys me, because I totally need all my crap and Natalie Dee pictures I get from the internet stored alphabetically (AlphaBetiCally -- get it?) on my desktop which, by the way, I am too lazy to do anything about. And they're all named, like "Photo on 10-11-12, 4:15." Oh, yeah, cause I totally keep track of what pictures I take on every day, at every time. Here is a poem.

I hate Finder;

Yes I do.

It hates me,

And it hates you.

Totally true, right?

Elektra Out.

My 1st Post! (Let me know of ONE blog who's 1st title isn't that.)

So, this is my blog. And whatta blog it is. I'm so excited!

Anyways, on this blog, I will probably be:

• Ranting
• Singing
• Complaining
• Sharing
• Writing
• Bored

And whatever else! I really hope you enjoy my (kind of) online diary, and welcome!

OK, time for a...
POP QUIZ!! (I know, everybody's favorite, right?)

What do you do when someone hits you (in the face,) with a volleyball?

a). Hit 'em back, dummo!

b). Curse and walk away, yelling "I'll be back!" in your classic Schwarzenegger accent.

c). Give 'em the ol' silent treatment!

d). Walk away to repair your bloody nose.

Unfortunately, when put to the test, my answer would have been a, or b, but, because of a roving teacher nearby, (gaaah!) my answer was d: Walk away to repair your bloody nose.

So, anyways.
