hi all. i have had a little thing called "A Weekend" in which several things happened. amazing, eh?
saturday::: i woke up at like. i dont know. 10:30 or there abouts. and uhm. well. oh yeah i had a donut. then i washed some dishes and whatnot. and mom was playing really loud music -- laura nyro, leonard cohen, bruce springstein... i think that was about it. and one of dad's crazy mixes was in there but you know. so then dad drove morgan and i to rehearsal where we thereby finally finished the dance to beethoven's fifth. and i dont think we did anything else.... no. so then we came home and i nearly went insane because brittany and i were supposed to be making plans with katie and i couldnt get in touch with either of them for a while. but then i finally did. and after much 'planning' my family went and picked up brittany and we all went to borders and met katie. brittany and i gave her christmas presents and it was gorgeous. then we read such classics as everyone poops and once upon a potty and pass the gas which are all filed under 'nature.' and i had a quasi nosebleed and for once i bought absolutely nothing. dad got the moby cd and the moulin rouge dvd and mom got a winnie the pooh planner thing and a book about how to build robots out of legos. gahah we have no legos. and then we left (and poor katie was there for like another hour all alone!!) with brittany and we went to backyard burger and they were out of seasoned fries and it was sad. someone said backyard burger started in memphis. is that true? it's a very small chain, as it is. anyway. then we came home and ate and watched moulin rouge. and brittany said (in response to my question did she like it?) "i loved it. but it was so sad!!" and she thereby rolled over in bed. and said 'oooookkkk' and rolled over again and again and the bed went thuthunk and was a sex scene and there was much hot lesbian action. so then uhm. yeah after that brittany was like 'IM SOOOO TIRED' and we therby went to bed and took the quotes and whatnot. it was. good fun. ahaha.
sunday::: i wake up first, as usual, at like. 8am somethin. and i lie there and listen to tori amos and then i decide i have to go to the bathroom and check the clock and so i get up and trip over this glass of water (thankfully empty) and i scream and brittany rolls over and looks at me funny and i hop away to the bathroom. and no, the glass did not break. thank god. anyway so eventually everyone got up and i took a shower and during that period in time morgan managed to break my glasses. x_x so i was blind for a while until mom taped them togther ahahah until dad went to walgreens and got a little healie kit thing. even though now the screw is sticking up funny. and uhm. then we watched rock n roll high school even though brittany sucks because she refused to get up and dance. and then dad mentioned something about 'when are we gonna take brittany home' and she was GOING to have to come to rehearsal and read and watch us and laugh and doodles but instead she wanted to go home and thereby miss the horror of our dancing. so dad and brittany and i stopped by at cd warehouse only to discover that they were having a SALE for the month type thing. in which. if you bought two used cds for $8.99 you got one for $5.99. we took advantage of this. and there was a dvd sale of some kind, kind of like that only everything was a bit more expensive, but the point is. dad bought three dvds which were. the matrix, excalibor, and almost famous. and he got two cds. probably todddddd rungren and sting, but i cant remember. so i was just gonna get the murmurs but then i decided that i wanted hole so i picked up that too. and brittany decided she wanted the luscious jackson cd with 'deep shag' on it and she decided i had to pick out one more thing to take advantage of the sale thing and plus she owed me $6. so we ran ALL OVER and we had to be reeaallly fast because if we didnt leave soon it was going to make morgan and i late for rehearsal. so i grabbed cake for some reason, and it wasnt the album with the single (short skirt long jacket) OR the song that john kept singing (sheep go to heaven) so. x_x well we listened to some of it in the car and they covered 'i will survive' and it was hilarious. and then um. i didnt get to have lunch. just a couple crackers, really. but we rushed and we werent even late for rehearsal, really! then we danced beethoven's fifth a couple times and we had to teach sylvia, claire, and brad the parts we learned yesterday. today, though, katherine was still missing and sonja had to go to work. sad day. at least we had more people than yesterday and no one had to leave early. yes it went quite well. and then everyone had a break and she called back the fire tones (remember - morgan, mack, and sylvia) who worked on their dance to the moby song. i think linley was supposed to be there today, too, but she wasn't. so during that time zoe and i looked at magazines such as the new yorker, memphis, and redbook. whagha oh my horoscopes are funny creatures. anyway kimberly was sorta drilling them and we were like x_x ahhhhh because she seemed remotely stressed. and there song was really fast and ahhh oh my. and then at one point zoe and i were standing at the door and watching htem and they were doing this thing that looks like the push up position, in a little row, right after a roll. but when morgan rolled she did it funny or something because when she did the push up thing and she like diagonal and nearly running into sylvia and i started cracking up and then kimberly made us leave. hahhahah. and after they were done she called for "Dan and the Water Tones" and we thereby decided that we are a band. and for those of you lovely readers who do not remember who the water tones are, that is katherine, zoe, tracy, and moi. right so. when i came in bill was trying to find the track on the cd that we were going to be dancing to and reading the board for the name of the song hence he thereby said "ghost....." all absently and i thought he maybe meant from the movie. (oh i was one of the first people in from break, as well) and bill pushed play and i stood there and there was a woman singing and i was like "this is really familiar...." and said so, for once. and then i KNEW who it was!!
me: who is this
bill: kristin... kristin.... uh
me: hersh?!
bill: yeah
me: *nearly fallie leanie over thing* i LOVE kristin hersh!!
bill: tell kimberly that. *i think he wanted me to go far far away*
me: *floats away all happy to have MY GROUPS special dance be to KRISTIN HERSH!!!!!!!*
kimberly: *walks in*
bill: alanna likes kristin hersh.
me: *terribly happy* ;_;
[btw its a GORGEOUS GORGEOUS song called "your ghost" from the first album "hips and makers" and i intend to upload the mp3]
i am now going to discuss the dance itself. it's right after andy (our favorite synesthete) has painted a portrait of angela, thinking she was romantically interested in him, but she gives the painting to her boyfriend. and andy (thats not really his name, its just hte actor's name. i cant remember a thing.) is really. depressed. and if you didnt remember, the dancing bits of the play are what is going on in andy's MIND. so dan is playing andy as he wants to be in his mind. so, of course, as we are the sad colors, it is a saaaad dance. so through like the first half of it dan is sort of. curled. in the sort of corner. like on the floor in a little ball, poor thing. so then we come out and do this thing and then about halfway through the dance we have worked our way over towards him and we help him up (the colors do, that is.) and then we are sort of background, really now, because dan is what you are supposed to be watching. and the song says "i think last night you were driving circles around me" and we sort of encircle him and it's. just. gorgeous. only that i wish i could actually WATCH instead of BE. ok so the question is -- are we actually supposed to be helping dan/andy out and saying "it's gonna be ok" and doing the comfort thing? or are we like "we feel your pain. here we are. we are your pain. we exist here in your little head with you. let's dance." because i know that at some point after this we (all the colors) have to clean up the mess that the Terrors have made. and thats like healing. so i am not sure. the healing thing is supposd to happen while andy is at the therapist. oh well.
anyway so we worked on it QUITE a bit -- kimberly finished choreographing the whoooooole thing today. it is only 3:16 or something but still. i think its going to go quite well except me. poor katherine missed a good bit. but in this dance and in beethoven's fifth i'm sort of her partner, in a lot of times, so we're doing the same thing and that makes it good because she sees me more than anyone else in the cast and i can help her out! ^^ yay for that. next rehearsal is. wednesday, i hope katherine can make it!!!!
and uhm. then kimberly made us perform it for my dad... x_x oh but i'm veeerrryy proud of morgan, she recognized kristin hersh. ^^ i have raised a good chalt. so after rehearsal we came home and sat around for a few mintues and then we went to see the royal tenenbaums which i thorougly enjoyed. a lot. ahhhaha. and then we came back here and uhm. i'm talking to nick and listening to kristin hersh. it's a good thing.
saturday::: i woke up at like. i dont know. 10:30 or there abouts. and uhm. well. oh yeah i had a donut. then i washed some dishes and whatnot. and mom was playing really loud music -- laura nyro, leonard cohen, bruce springstein... i think that was about it. and one of dad's crazy mixes was in there but you know. so then dad drove morgan and i to rehearsal where we thereby finally finished the dance to beethoven's fifth. and i dont think we did anything else.... no. so then we came home and i nearly went insane because brittany and i were supposed to be making plans with katie and i couldnt get in touch with either of them for a while. but then i finally did. and after much 'planning' my family went and picked up brittany and we all went to borders and met katie. brittany and i gave her christmas presents and it was gorgeous. then we read such classics as everyone poops and once upon a potty and pass the gas which are all filed under 'nature.' and i had a quasi nosebleed and for once i bought absolutely nothing. dad got the moby cd and the moulin rouge dvd and mom got a winnie the pooh planner thing and a book about how to build robots out of legos. gahah we have no legos. and then we left (and poor katie was there for like another hour all alone!!) with brittany and we went to backyard burger and they were out of seasoned fries and it was sad. someone said backyard burger started in memphis. is that true? it's a very small chain, as it is. anyway. then we came home and ate and watched moulin rouge. and brittany said (in response to my question did she like it?)

holy shit i have a huge craving for circus peanuts.
morgan and i watched rock 'n' roll high school which is hereby dubbed the best movie ever created. we also taped it so brittany and laylee and katie, you guys HAVE TO COME OVER TOMORROW AND WATCH IT WITH ME AGAIN AND DANCE ROUND THE DEN, OK!??! yes. good.
morgan and i also picked our five favorite lines in the movie and they are as follows.
5. "i thought she was splitting protons in the basement!"
4. "he's tall and handsome and he looks like a poem" (thats about joey ramone right after morgan had been commenting on his ugliness)
3. "those ramones are ugly, ugly people."
2. "i'm allergic to violence; i break out in blood"
1. "DO YOUR PARENTS KNOW YOU'RE RAMONES?!"
I WANNA BE YOUR JOEY RAMONE!!!

on friday i babysat holly, rebekah, and david wilson and i got $30 and it was great fun. when i got home it was discovered that aunt jenny, rachel, luke, and morgan had all appeared in the night. it was also great fun.
on saturday we went to nomadic notions and cosmic closet because moondance was closed. we also went to some other places (bookstar, starbucks) but hardly anything was open so. and we forgot to go to maggie's farm. we came home and i had a stomach ache (as i have had for like a million years, refer to previous posts) but dad physically forced me to go to our first rehearsal for Synesthaesisa.a.aga. however it happens to be spelled. anyway it was a good time. katherine and zoë were there. so we all introduced ourselves (yes. AGAIN!) with kimberly's name game thing and uhm. we stretched and warmed up and did some improv (my very very LEAST favorite part, along with katherine's) and then we actually started the dance. kimberly sort of does things as she goes along and makes things up and. well i guess how choreographers do their thingie isnt it. the point is. i am a WATER TONE THINGIE which means i am in a group with katherine (silver) zoë (royal blue) and tracy and no one told her what color she was so kimberly made up that she is light blue. and i was just told your plain old generic 'green' and really i dont think i even fit in that category but i couldnt go with the fire tones (morgan, who is pink, mac, who is red, and sylvia who is yellow) or the stone color thingies (claire who is emerald, sonja who is purple, and brad who is chocolate brown) so really there was nowhere else for me to go. and kimberly is just pretending that i am sea foam green type so that i will blend with them but i dont feel like that really. akhgaha katherine said i'm like the green at our school and kimberly was like 'no i dont think she's Spartan Green' and it was funny. and uhm. yes. so we get to dance round with scarves even though theyre not completey accurate. like katherine had to use a bright blue scarf and i had to use this horrifying neon green. it's kind of funny because our group is like pretty pale blue, bright blue, dark blue, BIG EVIL NEON GREEN. and anyway. rehearsal went well. and it even made my stummy stop hurting. so uh. then we came home. and uh. after like 15 minutes we went to turtle's and we spent a while (dad said it was an hour but i dont think it was that long) looking around and i hadnt even GOTTEN to the used section yet but they made me stop. and i was so terribly confused, i'd picked up a few things but i wanted a case so i put back the cds and just got a new case. i was going to get the case and a $10 cd by the start but i went asdkglkshaoeihagskl and i couldnt remember if i liked the song suddenly. anyway. after that we came home and uhm. i made mom, dad, and jenny go out to eat so they did and we ordered pizza and watched buffy the vampire slayer (the movie) and buffy the musical (the tv show) and in the middle of that the parentals came home and then we put on mallrats and then dogma and oh my it was a lot of movies. at some point mom and jenny went to bed. and i was of course rearranging my cds in their little cases. and luke went to bed as SOON as dogma ended but morgan and rachel and i watched the special features.
and meanwhile dad was (apparently) attacking my blog and being an evil evil little man.
holy crap morgan just stole my cheez-its.
on sunday dad wakes me up at like... 1pm something because we have a 2:30 rehearsal. i swear during a show, the show is ALL he worries about. look look this happened on friday::
dad: *calls me from work* how are you feeling
me: ungood.
dad: are you gonna be able to make it to rehearsal tomorrow?
me: ... DAD! YOU HAVE BAD PRIORITIES
dad: no i dont i'm just concious!
me: you didnt even mention my babysitting thing tonight
dad: i forgot about that.
and thereby i probably hung up or something and mutterd somethign along the lines of 'concious my ass.'
anyway i had a piece of leftover pizza and i got dressed and then we left. rehearsal was basically the same thing except that claire wasnt there this time but sonja and brad were. which is kinda funny because theyre all in the same group. and uh. we warmed up on the bar that time and it felt like we did more improvisation than the first time but maybe thats just me. kimberly added on to the dance and we got to go swoosh swoosh with our scarves. she told us a little bit about how the performance is going to go. one part of the stage (fairly small, i think, considering) is going to be the 'reality area' where the actors do their acting. theres only like. 4 or 5 characters. the main character guy (a synesthete) is played by andy and the rest of the stage portrays his mind. so like when he's seeing certain colors we will be doing stuff on the rest of the stage. and then dan is playing andy in his mind. so like when andy sees himself in his mind he'll be dan, more graceful and dancing and whatnot. and the Terrors (of which my father is one. and some more older men) will be tormenting andy guy in his mind. right.
and the colors will be wearing all black and we're supposed to wear one little piece of our color that we can take off. like a bandana or piece of cloth something attached to like our leg or something. ahagha as long as we can get it off. and then when we're not on stage i think we're supposed to sort of melt into the audience and i guess they arent supposed to be sure who is who because we'll be without our colors. you know it'll be like we're sort of anonymous.
so the dance we're working on right now has all the colors in it but we stay in our groups and do seperate things in the dance with our group. and we get to dance around with scarves that are (supposed to be) our color. i think i mentioned that a moment ago. anyway the point is we're supposed to be dancing and making this big show with our scarf color and people will obviously say 'oh that person is spartan green' or whatever and then we're going to rid ourselves of the scarves and keep dancing and then they'll see that we are not JUST the scarves and we have that little piece of whatever on us someplace. anyway. it's cool so far. except for the damn improv. (which is kind of funny because OOV is eternally known for improvisation greats)
