The Pajama Game

Just came back from the Pajama Game. It was excellent and my friend did a great job with her one line. Anyway, I am very proud of myself. I convinced myself to read up to page 130 in Watership Down. It's a miracle! I've been at my Aunt's house all day and it was too late at night to blog about the Idol concert, so I'll have to do it now. We had seats that were pretty close to the stage, which were great. There were 5 ladies in back of us who were all Adam fans. They got so drunk they were screaming "We love you Adam!" during Kris's performance. All these middle-age female Adam supporters got so drunk, and of course we they had to be right in back of us. It was a pretty good concert, but I was just counting down till Adam. It seemed like he had more stage time then Kris. Whenever a picture of Adam came up on screen, everyone screamed. But they didn't scream when pictures of Kris came up. Then, when Kris was coming up on stage, all the tweenies screamed so loudly, and it was so high-pitched I thought my ears were going to burst. Anyway,enough about tweenie hate, back to the performances. My top 3 were Adam ( no duh), Allison, and believe it or not, Scott. He was actually really good! (Except the goodness was kind of ruined for me when this drunk guy started screaming "Watch out for the edge!" and "Don't fall off the stage!". Idiot.)When Adam was about to come on, all the drunk ladies went crazy. My mom did too. It was really embarrassing. She kept on screaming and shouting "Adammm!" Of course, he was great and it was so theatrical I felt like I was watching a Broadway show, and I lovee Broadway shows. "Mad World" was so great. When he started singing "Fame, Fame, Fame!" more middle-aged women started throwing their underwear on stage. Adam kicked a bra off the stage but this woman threw it back at him. It was pretty funny. "Slow Ride" was great but it could not beat "Mad World". They used all the special effects on Adam. It was strobe-light mania. When Kris came on I was pretty ticked. Adam's solos were over! NOOO! At least Kris did "Hey Jude" which wasn't that bad. Finally, the group did "Don't Stop Believn'", which is a P.F. signature song, so I was singing and dancing along. When the lights came up I was in a state of shock. I had been almost 40 feet away from Adam Lambert! Well, that pretty sums it up for today. If you read my blog (even though I probably have approximately 4 readers, my friend Linda, my Mom, my friend Romy and maybe one or two people) please drop a comment or follow my blog. I would really appreciate knowing I actually have readers. -Anneliese

The Greatest Invention Since The Wheel/ Apparently, I look like I'm a 10 Year Old Lawyer...and more!

My little brother is at camp, Dad's at work, Oma and Opa are upstate, so I'm stuck hanging out at my mom's law firm. Hooray. It really sucks. You can't log into facebook or AIM unless you hack it because of stupid SonicWALL, but I don't want to get my mom in trouble. Here I am, stuck here with a copy of Watership Down (which I have to read for school) and a math workbook. But there is an upside to all of this. The cafeteria has this great machine where you put in these little packets and it makes a drink. No, it's not just a coffee maker (You can see a picture of it on the left. I didn't take that picture, I found it on google, but that's what it looks like). First, you go through a menu of drinks, which has categories of chocolate, coffee, tea and well-being. I'm somewhat of a chocoholic, so of course, I ordered a Snickers chocochino. Yes, a chocochino (even though I'm pretty sure I spelt that wrong). I've been here since 10:00 and I've already had three of them. Personally, I think I look like I'm 10 years old. So does Party Favor. But for some reason, people around here think I'm an actual lawyer, since I am sitting at my mom's friend's desk. They keep on delivering me documents and calling me. Maybe I have a lawyer look or something. But all these people are wearing work clothes and I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt. When I came back from Germany, I was wearing a Georgetown sweatshirt and the man checking my passport asked me if I had graduated from law school there. So apparently, I look like a 10 year old lawyer. But I won't be bored tomorrow because I'm going to see Adam Lambert on the American Idol Tour! YAY! He might be my favorite idol contestant of all time. I loved Ring of Fire, Mad World and almost every performance. I heard he's preforming Fame, so I'm super-excited. Then again, I have to sit through the performances of Kris Allen and Danny Gokey. :-P Talking about entertainment, I recently saw Orphan. That might have been the funniest movie ever. I don't know why I find Horror Movies hysterically funny, but it's probably because they can be so cheesy. My favorite part is when she rips out her hair and starts screaming since some girl destroys her old bible. I was laughing so hard. I always find these movies funny. When P.F. was watching Halloween I was laughing with Anna and making stupid comments while Lindz was almost having one of her panic attacks and Romy was blasting her i-pod so she couldn't hear anything. I also saw Julie and Julia, which made me really hungry, since I went with my friend Bridge at 1:00 and didn't have lunch and barely any breakfast. I'm so bored I went onto some writer's block idea page, and it told me to write about religion, so here I go. To be honest, I have no idea what my true religion is. I was baptized as a Roman Catholic, I go to a Catholic school and I go to a Roman Catholic Church, but I have many beliefs that aren't very, well...Roman Catholic. First off, I'm pro-choice. I know that the issue of abortion is one of the major issues of the church, and the church is very pro-life. But I just don't feel I can deny someone their choice, and I have some other reasons, but I don't want to go too far into that in this blog. Next, I don't believe there is a hell. I think God may give some sort of punishment if we do something wrong, but if he loves us unconditionally, why would he throw us into some flaming pit of fire with the devil? I also believe in evolution. I don't take the Bible super-literally. I believe in Jesus and the New Testament completely , but I also believe a lot of the verses in the Old Testament are stories created to teach us a lesson. In my heart, I will always be a Catholic, but I wonder what religion my beliefs completely go along with. Maybe they don't go along with any religion completely. But as I said before, in my heart, I will always be a Catholic.

Back from lunch. I went to a lovely Scandinavian restaurant where I had a nice omelet. I think people finally figured out I'm not a paralegal since someone saw me walking around with my i-pod. Now I bet their wondering "Who the hell is that wierd kid walking around?".

I'm very excited to go see my friend in the Pajama Game this weekend. It's a local community theater play thingy, so I really don't know what to expect. Of course my super-talented friend only got one line. So either there are super-super talented people playing the leads or they decided my friend was too short to play a lead.

Finally time to leave the office. HOORAY!
