About Success, About Fame

Today I saw the wonderful traveling production of the musical Hairspray, and it was wonderful. I want to download the musical's soundtrack, and I want to hug it and squeeze it to death. I fell in love with the quirky little Tracy and the adorably awkward Penny, and the love struck Link who finally heard the bells. So far it has been my favorite production that I've seen at Juanita K., and it was a great time to get out of the house for a while for the first time in about 7 days. Oh yeah, did you hear the news? Apparently this was this ice storm that knocked out my power for ten days (so far). My parents, brother, and I are camped out at my uncle's house out in Nixa and there's really little to nothing to do, well, besides occassionally getting on myspace and icon hunting. I slowly getting up there in the ranks of icon greatness, and I'm up to probably around 2,000 icons by now. It's a great pastime, and I can sit there for hours looking over various livejournals and xangas for quirky, witty, cute, insightful, pretty, and interesting icons to put in my photobucket. I've decided that after all this power debacle is over I'm going to back up my icon collection on a few CDs and make sure that I have hard copies of all of my icons.

Life gets pretty tedious when you sit alone for hours. I am enjoying my bit of solitude and I've been listening to my iPod practically non-stop. I listen to the music and I drift off into another ralm in my mind, and I completely and totally relax inside of myself. The world around me melts away, and I just can simply break. I know most people think that dance/techno/electronica/trance/happyxhardcore/europop is nothing but disjointed beats, but I find myself falling into the old beats of Donna Sommer into the deep, deep realm of Daft Punk's Human After All album. I can listen to it for hours, and it's a great way to escape from the boredom of my seemingly pathetic days. I re-read the first three Harry Potter books during this time, and I will be picking up Book 4 when we go back to the house tomorrow to grab some more clothing for school, assuming we still don't have power on Tuesday and my Mother and I have to drive from Nixa to Hillcrest. It'll be the biggest pain ever, and I can't wait to walk into school on Tuesday and have to prepare for my finals after this terrible week.

Alex and I were suppoused to hang out this weekend, but that didn't happen, so I've basically had to lie around and talk to him on the phone all day for the entire time that I've been here. There's no real interaction with my extended family at all, my uncle does his business, my cousin Colin who is absolutely obsessed with World of Warcraft (age 13), and my cousin Brittney who just does her own thing. I just want to go home. Someone save me.

P.S. Nothing really new in the Harry Potter world - JKR second richest woman in entertainment. Whateva.
