Techie Woes

Tech hasn't started yet.

I hate that.

Why, you ask? It's because my whole school life is built around theatre, and when there's no theatre, Stacie's not a happy girl. I tried alleviating the pain by reading reviews of The Dark Knight (which, by the way, is awesome), but it didn't work. So I read New Moon instead, bringing us to a whole new subject: Twilight.

I love, love, love Twilight. And its sequels. I haven't got Breaking Dawn yet (but it's in the mail from Amazon!!), and I can't wait to find out what happens. But not because of Edward. Oh no. Not that I hate him, but I'm not in love with him like the rest of teen girl America. I think he's cool, but something about him seems too... perfect, I guess. I prefer my crushes flawed. Like Erik (Phantom of the Opera)- a good heart but in need of some rescuing. Edward's just too good.

Elaine doesn't agree- she's in the midst of a major Cullen obsession, and it's all Mom & Dad can do to keep her from running away to find them in Washington. She says she's perfectly aware that vampires aren't real- or compliant with our Christian faith- but I think she wants to believe that our parents are the crazy ones. Once, she threatened to run away in search of Edward, with only her sketchbook to keep her company. She later said she was joking, but I wonder...

Oh, yeah- sketchbook. Elaine's a budding manga artist, and her skills are perfectly suited for sketching Edward night and day. I used to admire her drawings and help her color them, but I got bored of Edward all the time.

Speaking of Phantom, our choir is doing a medley from the show, and I'm singing Christine in the "Think of Me" part.

Well, I guess I better go. Not much to do on a Saturday like this one, but dinner's almost ready and my stomach's demanding food... see ya!
