People magazine(I think) named Huge Jackman the sexiest man alive.
Probably due to his recent film with Nicole Kidman.

Yesterday my mother, my sister, and me went into the city to visit Hunter College. After the tour we decide that the college was disgusting so we left, rather early and we took a cab back to tie square and bought tickets for 13.
This was such a cute musical and was middle school. It was about a boy named Evan who is preparing to have is bar mitvzah and then abruptly moves form the city to a small town in Indiana. He now is trying to make friends with all the right people so he can still have his killer party, which means making nice with the most popular guy at school Brett. Evan goes through a roller coaster ride of losing and gaining friends and in the end he finds out who his tue friends are.
My favorite part of the show is when Brett is informing his two sidekicks Eddie and Malcolm about “The Tongue” (which is really code for making out) and how he is going to use The Tongue on Kendra (a good girl who he likes).
Before the show had started I was looking through the playbill and I realized I knew one of the understudies Liana Ortiz. We had both done The American Coed Pageant together for sometime. In 2002 we went down to Nationals together along with the queen at the time Jasmine.
Did I mention how incredibly talented this kids were as well? The whole time I just kept thinking holy shit they are sooo gooooddd. The girl who played Lucy had an incredibly voice.
Here are some of my favorite pictures of the cast:
Do you reconize the blonde boy? He was in the ICarly episode “Idream of Dance”.
Serendipity- fortunate coincidence, unsought discovery- Noun
I choose this word cause I have trouble memorizing it for my English Midterm

Once again another class trip, we were going to Atlantic City for a very huge college fair. It felt kind of useless to be being that I have been visiting a majority of the college I am interested in but I did run intot a performing art school in chicago, and I do have an interest to be in Chicago if not near NYC. But beign there for two hours was a bit much. By the end of it some colleges had left and a few guys had set themselves up in a booth and were asking girls to apply to their college. A few kids from my school did that as well, there was the beautiful people college and the awkward and ugly college. I signed up for awkward and ugly.
lol.
And some kid challenged the coolness of my high top reeboks. He was comparing them to his dirty faded green shoes. My still have that awesome new look to them, and he gave the excuse for his diryty shoes saying, “he lives a hard life.” I was about to mention SIP but I opted not to.

Do excuse how I haven’t been on in forever.
So the other day the junior and seniors actors at my school went to Two River Theater in Red Bank, New Jersey to see the production of Heart Break House by George Bernard Shaw and directed by Aaron Posner. I am in love with Posner and two river productions, they are always fantastic.
First the characters in the show were so diverse and expressive. My favorite characters were Captain Shotover, who was this crazy old man and his voice had this awesome scruffness to it. Then Madagan who was a really old man trying to marry Ellie and he had this big breakdown at one point where he had a lot of characteristics like the cowardly lion from The Wizard of Oz.
The set was also breath taking as well. There was this huge think of junk, similar to the tower of junk on the stage for Rent, except this one is made out of white dressors, tables, and desks. They are frequently used for characters to climb on and at on point Mr.Hushabye begins to strip ontop of their with Madagan. Which was a very funny scene although they did not strip very far. But the prettiest part of the scenery was in the begining of the third act when the stars were set up and looking at them made you feel as though you were in outerspace.
If you are in Red Bank New Jersey within the next few weeks, I am not sure how long it is running for, go and see this show. You will loveeeee it.
So for the first time I used one at Laura’s cousins house, Tara Lea and Len. Although it was not the real thing it was a bit of a knock off version called a physic circle, it did the same thing though. So to set the mood we had the lights off, candles lit, a circle of salt around us and Tara Lea also put out these ducks that when you press the buttom of they lit up. We placed them out because ghosts are good at completing circles and so their presence could set one off. There was also a paper with a coin on it and a circle around the coin so we could see if it moved.
We did actually speak to a few spirits. But it did not start off that way. The first thing we got was a spirit that told us “give old rain take water”. This sounded like some form of a bargain so we opted to dismiss the spirit, we were not going to be making any kinds of deals. There was then little sucess with that board so Len took a piece of paper drew a circle in the middle the words yes, no hello and goodbye. Something did come through but it was funny how the stone would not leave the circle and it told us it could not, I only say it because we did not ask it’s gender, or we did and I forgot. So we drew a new paper board with the alphabet, numbers, the same words, but no circle. This time the first spirit to come through when asked its name it gave us the letters QUE saying those were its initials. And when we asked its gender it said niether. The spirit ten proceded to leave the paper it was on and push the ducks off the table. Len said it was something else so we dismissed that. It was not human and was testing its boundaries by moving the ducks away.
We did talk to some actual ghosts. The first was Van, he liked to dance swing and had a wife named Paula. They both met in the USO when he was in WWI. We asked him to move something in the room for us and he questioned coin? That really freaked me out cause that meant he was there with us. But moving the coin must have been too stressful because he left. Next I asked if we could speak to someone famous perhaps a performer, and the words “Why Famous?” came up. So next we were talking to a man named Ed he had met Clara Bo, who was a silent movie star who then went crazy when talking movies came out, but she could not make the transition due to her bronx accent. But Ed was a doorman at a hotel on 6th avenue. And he would go out to dance with a maid form the hotel named Abagail, she had nice gams. Ed also liked tomato soup and his favorite tv show was Banaza but he did not like the Sopranos. Funny thing is how he did not live in the era of Sopranos but he has watched the show. As in like randomly at someones house. He also used to live in Hoboken. Our next two ghosts were Berto and another spanish man whos name began with a G. Whats funny is that after Ed was dismissed we were thinking of what to say next and Laura says “I wanna speak to someone spanish!” and all of a sudden “hola” appears. Berto and G were nice but they did not like Tara Lea and Len’s neighbors. Our next request was to speak to the oldest person available and that was Ruth. She would not say how old but she lived in 1892. That was about all with her, we were tired by then.
I think after this situation i deffinetly believe in ghosts.
