In A Writing Mood...

but i'm blocked on Have Faith In Destiny. I may write an original one shot fic, but if I do, i can't load it on fanfiction.net. I may just post it here, and if i do, reviews are appreciated. Maybe the one-shot will clear me up enough to finish chapter 20 of HFID. who knows? I'll blog later.

King Kong

I like the 1933 version better. The new one's good, but it's too long. Blockbuster's rental periods are too short. If i want to finish the movie tonight (i'm about halfway through right now) i will be up till 2am. damn. well it's spring break, so i guess it won't matter, but here's the thing: i'm exhausted. oh well. hopefully i won't miss the end.
good night and good luck.

God...

Day by day my life is slowly starting to feel more like a movie.
I don't want it this way unless it has a happy ending.

Universal Studios- A Miniseries- Part 2

Round two of trip pictures. I can tell you now, these won't be pretty. Those of you with weak constitutions may want to leave the arena.
okay. anyways. here's more trip pictures.

First off, I'd like to introduce my famous counterpart: The wall of Mann's Chinese Theater.


There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.


Even McVay looks scared.


WHAT?!? DINOSAURS?!? I don't think I signed up for this!!!








We just narrowly escaped that when a giant shark came!




Poor Ceecee almost didn't make it.


But luckily we all made it out of the Twilight Zone with the assistance of our badass time machine.


Wow. The trip was more interesting then I thought, and somehow lots of teeth were involved...wow.
Love,
Leah

Universal Studios- A Miniseries

So here's just a few pictures from this weekend.

First things first, me and the crew in front of the Kodak theater where i will one day accept my oscar.


Johnny Depp's got his handprints at the chinese theater and i got to see them!


His hands are bigger then mine! (well, duh, he's a guy.)


Looks like johnny's got some new admirers.


Well, one day it will REALLY be Johnny. (cuz u noe, i'll be in a movie with him.)


The mule from SERENITY!


Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you KONG! The EIGHTH wonder of the world!


We took a little break in Europe...


Katie got too drunk and fell upon some desperate times...


...While I found a Romeo at my balcony.


So we had a great trip, no?  I'll post more pics later.

love,
Leah

A Midsummer Night's Dream...

Closes tonight. AWWW. I am going to miss everyone so much. Opening night was AWESOME. Last night was pretty much SOLD OUT, and tonight i'm sure it will be also. It's crazy how the audience can disappear and it's just you standing there. Performing live in a play is such a rush. It was so hard not to cry when my brother hugged me just because i was so happy. Tonight's 'family night' beings as my mom's bought 16 tickets for mi tias y mi primas and some of her friends, and then i got two tickets for some of my friends and some of my other cousin/friends are coming too. Tonight promises to be a good one.

Currently: Relaxing, watching my happy movie Pirates of The Caribbean, preparing not to cry tonight after the play ends and trying not to burn my tounge on apple cider.

The show starts at seven! Don't miss it!

Love,
-lia

Faeries...

man, that's tough. and anyone who steals my wings again, i will take my faerie revenge on.
opening night this week.
shows thursday, friday, saturday.
be there.

Now official?

Sadly, not till next Thursday.

Solia Jacobs plays Tom Snout, Mustardseed and Wall in "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Age 16, she is a Junior at San Lorenzo High. She is in advanced drama and loves acting. She has been on stage since 1st grade, be it in music or in acting and has also been a model in a campaign for Girls Inc.. This is her first time in a play at San Lorenzo High. She is on the Varsity Tennis team and will be on the boy's golf team. She plays alto saxophone in the Jazz Band and writes in her free time. She was in the 3rd annual poetry slam, and wrote the advertisement for Midsummer that was used on Rebel Vision, SLz's weekly video announcements. Solia is the shortest person in the play. She would like to thank her agent for all the love and support. "If I ever want to be in a movie with Johnny Depp, then I have to start somewhere. I guess my starting place is a wall."

Sleep: America's Other National Debt

yes, i am in debt, and i doubt i will ever recover. it's 12:12 am and i haven't even started hw for my other classes, just finished spanish and that's it. maybe if i loose enough sleep i'll die and won't have to do homework anymore! bleh. but on the downside, daly'd kill me for missing the play, and i'd never get to see pirates 2. oh well, it's a choice to make. gonna get back to work now, wish me luck. me and andrew are performing our scenes tomorrow, and we are SO NOT prepared, thanks to a certain someone *cough cough* eliza *cough cough*. whatever. we'll work through it somehow. goodnight and good luck.
oh, and as a p.s. pore strips suck.

Half A World Away...

well at least i wish i was. now i think i'm getting sick again, and that sucks because the play's coming up soon. i wonder if anyone missed me while i was gone on saturday...
-lia

Veer Zaara

it's amazing how long after the pictures from a movie fade, the emotions stay.
i need someone to carry me away.
-lia

*sigh* again.

i feel all warm and fuzzy.

-lia

*Sigh*

Dorine wants to tell him. Frankly, at this point, I don't care anymore. I just don't want everyone else to know. I wish there was sort of signal he could give me if he liked me back. Like "hey, how bout them raiders?" or something. Some sort of code that doesn't come up in everyday life (well between us anyway...) or sound totally awkward.
*sigh*
why is love so complicated?

What's Going On?

One am finishing up homework on what should have been a day off. Here's what's new with me:
What's New:

• A Midsummer Night's Dream I believe i mentioned it before, but i made it into the play. Rehearsals are pretty much every day now, saturday included. When i get more time i'll post some production pictures.
• Crush No details on that. No who, what, when or where. To put it simply: i have a crush, and that's all you're going to find out.
• Los Angeles It took lots of persuasion, but Anna's mom's finally going to let her go to L.A with me in march on the film club trip. More info and pictures later.
• Screenwriting I am now an official screenwriter because I was asked to write the trailer for the play to put on rebel vision (school announcements broadcasted weekly). We will be shooting soon.
• Fanfic Yes, people, I'm working on it, but as with all things when you go to school and act, it will take a long time. Relax, re-read it. Hopefully i can get the next chapter out before the end of march.
• Quote "If I ever want to be in a movie with Johnny Depp, I have to start somewhere. I guess my starting place is a WALL." - Solia Jacobs 2/17/06

Well that's all for today, hopefully i'll blog more soon, and maybe some pictures too.

Stress Seems To Make Me Relax...But Only A Little Bit.

Too much homework, too much chem. I have a week to finish 4 chapters, about (now it's) 6 labs in chem. a few back homework assignments in trig, and to read the entire great gatsby and write a 500 word essay on it. how much you wanna bet i'll pass chem with a c, bs the essay and pass trig with an a- ? i can see that.

Plan for Success
Thursday: Chem in fryer's till he kicks us out, chem at liz's till 6:30, trig, then gatsby till i pass out.
Friday: Play rehearsal till 5, chem/trig in daly's till 5:30ish when cooley gets there then more trig/chem/gatsby. 7ish basketball game chem/gatsby. 8:30ish Home, rest, gatsby till i pass out.
Saturday: chem, gatsby, work on lines for the play. do hw till i get sick of it, but keep on going till i pass out.
Sunday: chem/trig/gatsby till i pass out, work on lines for drama.
Monday: Rehearsal trig/chem/gatsby/lines till i pass out.
Tuesday: Rehearsal trig/chem/lines/gatsby till i pass out. (last time to work on chem)
wednesday: chem (till he kicks us out)/trig/lines till i pass out. (last day of chem)
thursday: rehearsal/lines for play/gatsby.
friday: relief, no school, yet rehearsal. 3ish to 5ish.

With a plan like that, there's no time to relax, but there's no time to stress. take it as you go, and leave it at that. i don't know what i'm doing, but hopefully i'll get it done.
wish me luck.

i just realized...

i haven't watched pirates of the caribbean in a very long time...

*big smile*

that will be my tomorrow.

Chemistry...

is frustrating as hell. what more is there to say about it? i tried. i've tried and tried. i don't understand it. no one understands it. the teacher won't help me. i'm going to flunk it. i guess that's just a fact. i mean, it's not like i want to flunk it, but the way this teacher is and how it's going, i don't see any other way to go.

saturday, hopefully, i am getting out of this house. i am getting out of this house and going to the movies. i am getting out of this house, going to the movies, and finally going to see memoirs of a geisha after 50 million cancelled plans. thank god.

i'm actually happy that monday is school. i just i'm sick of being at home. it'll be good. it'll be good to be back at school.

i'm going to try to get to bed early tonight. when i finish this blog i'm going to go take a shower, turn off everything and read a midsummer night's dream again.

Today's Random Thoughts:

• i let my nails get long. i kinda like it though, but kinda annoying.
• craig ferguson's reading the great gatsby, and i just realized i need to read it for honors english.
• i can act, but i can't do public speaking. i can play the sax, but i can't sing a solo. that's weird.
• ironically, shortening the chapter doesn't really make it short. it's 3 full pages right now, which is one of the (if not the longest) chapter so far.
• how crammed is my schedule going to be next week? two basketball games (or so i've heard) and at least one play rehearsal...

well that's it from me today. goodnight.

The world has turned and left me here...

The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
*******
I just made love with your sweet memory
One thousand times in my head
You said you loved it more than ever
You said
*******
You remain, turned away
Turning further every day
*******
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
*******
I talked for hours to your wallet photograph
And you just listened
You laughed enchanted by intellect
Or maybe you didn't
*******
You remain, turned away
Turning further every day
*******
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
*******
You remain, turned away
Turning further every day
*******
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
*******
Do you believe what I sing now?

Weezer is so great. Their music is so great. No matter what you can relate to it. Happy, sad, angry, you can relate to it. The World Has Turned And Left Me Here This...this is kind of how i'm feeling right now. I don't know what it is, I mean you get sick, go on break and it's like everyone forgets about you. I don't know. Maybe I'm imagining it. Maybe I'm not. Like i said the other day, i've been out of my house twice over break. twice in two weeks. I mean, I know I'm sick, but have I been invited to do anything? Considered a Bandgeek, considered a friend, but it's funny. The people you wouldn't expect to be invited to certain things suddenly are, and you...you're left alone. I don't know what it is. During school...phone calls every day, different people...break? 4 calls. one on new years, one on christmas to brag about presents, andtwo to check up on me. I mean, I'm sick, but I'm still alive, right? I have difficult parents, but I can still get away with some stuff. Whatever. I mean it's not so bad being alone, like a friend said " I spent all that time by myself. that sounds sad for some reason but those had to be the happiest days of my life." It's true. I like being alone sometimes, but sometimes I just get sick of being alone. Sick of being bored. Sick of having to listen to what everyone else is doing while I sit there nodding. I mean, it's weird. I know I don't like being in a crowd. I don't like being with people I don't know that well, that's just me. You know what I think my problem is? I think i'm afraid of people. Too many people+Small Space=Freaking out=Depression. I don't know what it is. I like being home alone, with the quiet, but for too long, with the bragging, it gets to me and I get in one of these moods. Maybe it's all in my head, maybe I'm imagining it. Whatever it is, I can't stand it and I want out. I want out of the lonliness, out of the depression, out of everything really. Whatever it is, I hope I get over it soon. All this, ^^ these feelings, they're distracting. Everything in this house is distracting. I can pick up a scrap of paper the size of a penny and it can be distracting. I need to just get out, and maybe that's why I like to write so much. Hell, I know that's why I like to write so much. I can get out, escape from all of this be someone else just by using my mind, a pen and paper, or my fingers and a keyboard. It's crazy how much human life depends on words. I don't even know why I'm tearing up writing this. I've been through worse. I don't know why I'm putting this up here. Maybe someone can help remedy this, maybe they can't. I don't know. I just feel left out, left out of life. I don't know what it is. Whatever it is, maybe it doesn't even matter anymore. I feel like I'm just rambling on and on, but it helps, you know? I guess if I want to pass chemistry (oh that's another joke that makes me depressed and angry as hell) I have four days. Four days, four chapters and three labs. It's 1:45am. I can get started on a chapter now, maybe even finish one and a half. All I know is I have to get it done, if i want to do anything. I'm not used to failure, but i'm sick of this. I'm sick of everything.

Actually, I wrote this 1.5.06, but it wouldn't let me post it.

Three Week Cold

That is what the Doctor said I have. "This isn't a one week cold, it's a three week cold." Absolutely wonderful for me, isn't it? What a Wonderful winter break, no?
Week One:

1. Sleep
2. Watch Tv
3. Be Miserable
4. Chat with people online
5. Go to my Tia Lupe's house for game night
   
6. Doctor Visit on New Years Day

Week Two (So far...)

1. Twilight Zone Marathon (new years eve-new years day)
   
2. Sitcoms
3. Chat with people online
4. Be Miserable
5. Complain about taking NASTY medicine
6. Work on fanfic at 2 am
7. Work on Chem at 2 am

Well, that's been my break, OH! And try to convince my mom to let me go to that theater program in LA. That's a big job. It may take forever.

Oh, and you know what I found out? My cousin Donna (my favorite cousin. she gives me respect and treats me like an adult. she's great to talk to.) she told me that if her youngest son was a girl, they were going to name him Solia. My mom wouldn't let them though, "No! We INVENTED that name! You can't have it!" Bs. Search Solia on google, get a Million results. It's frustrating because i never heard about that until friday. My mom never told me that, and If Donna hadn't told me, I never would have known. It's my name, right? Once you name your kid it's their name to do what they please with it. I should have at least been asked, or told about it, you know what I mean? That makes me angry...
Oh well. I'm going to work on my fanfic a little bit more. For those of you who read, (which i doubt there's any) or in case your interested click the link in the side panel under links click on Have Faith In Destiny.

A Little summary on the chapter:
Solia and Jack finally make it into Tortuga. Her first time out of the posh town isn't quite what she expected. Pirates, men, aren't what she expected, especially, Jack Sparrow. Tortuga, isn't the friendly, picturesque pirate town she expected, and she'll have to learn to trust Jack, or face the dangers alone.

Well that's all there is for me today. I'm going to get back to work on that chapter. Good night, and good luck,
-Lia
