Happy Birthday!
Trying out for plays.
I just tried out for a bunch of plays today. My monologue was a letter from Pride and Prejudice. I sang a piece of Little People from Les Miserables for my song. I think I did horribly but what's done is done. (Shrug.)
Twilight Saga site
This has cool stuff about Twilight and really hard trivia. I know, I helped make it. The poem on the first page is mine.

Team Switzerland
Jacob is a jerk in Eclipse, constantly crossing the line. In New Moon he also crosses the line, trying to be a good friend to Bella. In Breaking Dawn he is a jerk for the whole book, till the last few chapters. Twilight is the only book where he's fairly decent.
Edward is an over-protective idiot. He has first right on Bella and Jacob should've just accepted that. However, Edward was an idiot to leave and think that he could stay away. He should have payed more attention to poor Alice.
Edward is better than Jacob, though. (In my opinion.) He has had rather more life experience, so he some what understands the consequences of his actions better. (Not much, though.) Edward is more willing to sacrifice things for Bella. Jacob seems (sometimes) to only think of himself. He doesn't seem to quite grasp that Bella was perfectly happy with Edward and now he is totally messing up there lives.
Although, there are sometimes when you have a perfectly good right to feel sorry for Jacob. Like certain times in Breaking Dawn, from his point of view. However, he antagonizes Edward a little too much for my liking.
That's why I'm on Team Switzerland. However I'm on the edge, leaning much more towards Edward than Jacob.

Les Miserables
Les Miserables is one BIG book (1222 pages). It's also really good. Some 200 or so years after it was written some people came along and decided to make a musical out of it. Which was quite a good idea, in my opinion. It follows the book very well and it has great music. This song is "On My Own".
The Wizard of Oz
The Wizard of Oz is a strange book. Especially because of what so many people did to it in the years after it was written. First, they made a movie of it. That was perfectly acceptable. It's a good movie, too. Even though it doesn't follow the book hardly at all. (Did you know that the origional shoes Dorothy got were silver?) Except, then Gregory Maguire came along an wrote an excedingly disturbing book about how the Wicked Witch (Elphaba) wasn't actually all that bad. Then some one came along and made a musical out of that. Wicked the Musical is TOTALLY awesome. I've seen it twice already. But, like I said before, the book is highly disturbing.
