Me and Kathryn made up our first inside joke yesterday! It's "DellaPenna bombardment" (Frank DellaPenna is the carillon guy). Haha I wish I had an amusing last name like that. Yesterday me and my mom listened to DellaPenna with the volume up on my computer and it was fun. "Raging Water" was stuck my head for the rest of the day...you have to hear it! I still feel honored that I got to shake his hand and talk to him...lol yes I'm obsessed...take a look at the carillon: http://www.castinbronze.com/bio.htm and this is DellaPenna, yay!!! http://www.castinbronze.com/history.htm

Yesterday I have never been so full of grief in my life. I came soooo incredibly close to crying after POTO. Trying to make yourself cry feels really weird. I wanted to put No one Would Listen on cause I knew that would make me cry all the way, but my brother came in the room and I gave up all together. I will cry for you Erik, I WILL!

And that Tale of the Mummy movie...well...Gerry died in the 1st 5 minutes of him showing up so I didn't bother to watch the rest...I think I've seen it anyway. And yesterday I got the most email and LJ comments ever. It was from posting on the Gerry and asperger communities

I had a dream I was watching Kingdom of Heaven. It started out in an office type place, then it went to a battlefield, and this girl was about to be captured. She did something with her sword and flipped onto her horse, then twirled her sword with it still sheathed. Then there were these people swordfighting and I was thinking "this isn't a very Star Wars like movie" and at that second Yoda and some other person flew by me holding lightsabers. Then these people were in an underground place and purple things were dripping from the ceiling and absorbing into the floor. Then someone got hit by one, and got electrocuted and fell screaming down a well. "Help! My leg is deformed." In the well were all these people. The guy that fell had blood all over his face and he looked like Piangi or that guy from Mrs. Brown. One person held up her baby and said something like "we're all lepers down here. You're gonna be one too" and the guy looked suspicious and then I woke up

Me and my mom and maybe my brother are having a POTO party later lol. My mom said "we can wear costumes and sing and eat popcorn!" How can I eat popcorn and sing at the same time?? Haha and I'll have SoBe...it shall be fun! I hope my brother likes it and becomes a phan. We don't really have costumes except for my cape *swooshes it* And so many people have asked me how many times I've seen POTO since I got the DVD and when I say once they're all surprised and it's getting really annoying!! But I'm gonna watch it tons this weekend...could I beat my record of seeing Timeline 4 times in 3 days?

Now I really really REALLY wanna watch POTO cause MOTN is on and it's Gerry and the movie is STARING ME IN THE FACE!!! OMG 3 POTO song in a row!! (POTO, MOTN, Prolouge)...IS MY MUSIC PLAYER TRYING TO KILL ME??? *falls over* Ooo...shiny chandelier...

I miss Kathryn...she's been in Washington, DC for 3 days and I dunno when she'll be back...hope she's having fun

OMG THE A NON POTO RELATED SONG SAID GALA!! *goes shiny*...*later*...OMG IT SAID IT AGAIN! *checks lyrics*...or not....darn

"Wait for me, I'm back to conquer my land"--"Lord of the Winter Snow," Luca Turilli

I watched POTO last night, and it was SO FUN! I put the subtitles on like I always do but then it wasn't as much fun singing cause the words were right there and it was kinda distracting. I think I sang the most on POTO and PONR. There were too many distractions though...people kept IMing me, my brother tried to put the computer to sleep (it was right after POTO was done and Gerry did his cape twirl...grrr!) and he was just annoying, and the subtitles. LOL I liked watching Gerry's expressions. I was yelling at myself cause I couldn't cry at the end...I sometimes envy people who can cry so easily. Friday I'm gonna watch it with SoBe...muahaha watch out everyone

I wish my dreams were a cool and funny as Amanda's! All I remember of mine last night was I was in the hallway at school and this person who I don't really like was there, and I think I had been ignoring her for a long time, and she asked something like "why are you ignoring me?" and I don't remember if I answered...then I dreamed this person had red holes in her foot and was wearing flip flops

OMG never, EVER watch 2001 a Space Oddesy unless you wanna be terribly bored. There's like 5 minutes with a blank screen and music, then around 15 minutes of watching monkeys, and more of watching spaceships float around in space. I like the music, and it does get better once you get to the middle. We're watching it in sci fi...we're only halfway through...I seriously I felt like I was gonna die of boredom in the beginning though...

My subconscious was definitely weird last night...I was in this place where you go to try out for music. I was gonna sing POTO, and was very nervous. The person ahead of me was singing really high notes. Then I was in some underground place with lotsa ladders and rust and I was lost. Then this voice said "sing for me, and I'll help you find yor way out" and it repeated "sing for me" over and over. I think I sang something but don't remember what. Then I came to this wall and said "this is the wall to someone's bedroom!" and broke through it (I know exactly where that came from...Timeline lol). The person was very surprised and I don't remember anything else

Wow everything today has reminded me of POTO. My Spanish teacher said "we're gonna listen to the music of...*pause*" and I said "the night?" and then she finished with Ricky Martin and I was like darn (not that his music is bad or anything...). And my IPC teacher kept saying "combined." IT COMES OUT TOMORROW!!!! OMG!!!! *eats self*

And yesterday I realized one of my worst fears is being busy. When Amanda was talking about how busy her mom was, I got this weird feeling...like desperation or scared or something. The same thing happened when my teacher was talking about how busy her weekend was. Now all I have to do is look at the word and I get the feeling. I *really* hate the feeling cause I get cold, nervous, I talk and ramble about things I normally don't or just think, I say "oh dear" over and over, and when the feeling is over I feel empty. So if anyone wants to talk about being busy, just say destiny instead of busy (yes, yes, I know I don't like the word, but it was the 1st thing I thought of when talking to Kathryn).

Shamed into solitude, shunned by the multitude. I learned to listen, in the dark my heart heard music"--From POTO (No one would listen)

Mrs. Brown was a really good movie! Though I dunno why the queen was called Mrs. Brown, cause Mr. Brown (her very good friend) never married her. Gerry's characher was called Archie...what kinda name is that? Sounds like a nickname for Legolas...Gerry was hardly in it though. He was in a few scenes (sometimes just as a background character), but usually only with him and his brother (Mr. Brown). He had the most wonderful Scottish accent in this movie...*squeee!!* And even though his hair was basically the same from Phantom at the end, and he had no beard sometimes, I still couldn't tell he was the Phantom! Weird...

LOL this shall be another Gerry post! Does he have something wrong with 1 side of his mouth? I 1st noticed it in POTO, but I thought it was the mask. But I still noticed it after it was taken off. It's *really* notacable in Mrs. Brown and Timeline...anyone know what it is?

I envy anyone who has a copy of POTO right now...*goes into withdrawels*

Wednesday is good cause it's close to Thursday and the weekend and brings us 6 days closer to POTO! My friend from Australia already has it and has watched it 3 times...lucky him! More Wednesday goodness...I learned that bravo is Italian. Me and another person said "really?" at the same time and the guy said "so I know Italian?" And I said "I know Italian." And everyone who reads this, I am not obsessed with Wednesday in any way, just Tuesday, May 3rd, and Sunday, November 13th...*cough*...what in the world...?

The saddest song EVER is called "No One would Listen." It's a deleted scene/song from POTO and it's SO SAD! Gerard does an awesome job singing it..."shamed into solitude, shunned by the multitude"...waaaaa!!! Poor, unhappy Erik...*sniff*

I have a new nickname...Headbanging Elf. I guess I'm known as an Elf on the LOTR boards on IMDb and I said I was headbanging to O Fortuna. Later I posted how sad "No one would Listen" is, and my friend said "*Starts playing Carmina Burana, in the hopes that the Headbanging Elf will feel better*" (Carmina Burana is the opera O Fortuna is in). Carmina Burana, Carmina Burana...O Fortuna, O Fortuna...wooo I made a song

Today was the math TAKS, and boy is my mind fried. I'm glad that's overwith...and now I can stay up late and sleep in! Now it feels like Friday...

I was talking to someone earlier and I showed them I was reading POTO. She said it was the devil's work and then asked me if I went to church. I said no, and told her I was a Christian. She said I must go to church and asked me if I read The Bible. I said no, and she said I must and then..."I follow all God's rules, I go to church, I read The Bible, I *know* I'm going to Heaven. Jesus is gonna come back, you know, and he's gonna judge people." Sorry, but why is POTO the devil's work?? She hasn't even read it (I know cause she asked me what it was about). And you don't have to go to church to be a Christian...it's not required (but I would like to). And she was talking like she was perfect and never sinned and I was the bad person cause I read POTO and don't go to church! Why is POTO the devil's work??

I think Timeline is gonna be mailed here...the list shows it got the 2 movies I sent back, and Timeline is on avaliable now, so YAY! Amanda said I should watch it 3 times a day for 3 days...LOL...that's a lot of Gerry goodness...am I blushing? *giggles like an idiot*

Edit at 7:50: MUAHAHA!!! TIMELINE IS BEING MAILED!!!! I AM NOT OK! THE LIST SAID IT SHOULD ARRIVE TOMORROW! Ahhhhhh!!!!

I watched some of Attila again yesterday, and watched Les Misérables. That's such a good movie. The main character is SO HONORABLE!! I was thinking during the movie "I wish I could be as honorable as him"

LOL when I looked up POTO in the blockbuster thing it had the recent one and I was like "OMG! How is it out already??!" Then when I went to put it on my list it said "coming soon." I was like...darn...but I put another version on my list that I've seen and like (this version: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100361/). That's where I found out the Phantom's name is Erik

Hmmm...I might watch more of Attila later...

Yesterday someone's house in my neghborhood caught on fire. It was arson (someone told me it went from nothing to a raging inferno in 15 minutes...houses don't burn like that on their own). After the fire burned out some me, my mom, and my brother went to see what the backside looked like (we had to go through the woods). We noticed nothing was left inside. We could see right through it. And this house was right next to our old house we lived in...whoaness. Someone else said after the guy who lived there came out on the street wearing a bathrobe and brandishing a knife. He was arrested of course (I saw him in the cop car). He kept bumping his head on the window and cursing. Um...since he has a daughter (who wasn't home then), wouldn't she notice her dad acting weird the past few days?? This guy was definitely messed up.

OMG HammerFall is coming to the US in August!! I MUST SEE THEM!

LOL in Spanish we were talking about the differences between saber and conocer (to know), and she said, "what's in your mind?" and I said "the phantom of the opera!" Yaaay!

"An outlaw chasing outlaws, a runner in the night. By the radiant moon he will strike"--"Renegade," HammerFall

Attila is being mailed here! It's weird cause yesterday Attila was on short wait and Mrs. Brown was avaliable now. Then I checked back like an hour later and Attila was being mailed. I'm not complaining though...I'd rather have Attila...and GERRY BUTLER IN AN EPIC BATTLE MOVIE!!!

I got the version of POTO I watched in Florida yesterday! I wish it was a DVD so I could watch it tons of times on my computer (I'm so doing that with Attila!). If I watch this version too many times I'll probably make everyone insane cause of the movie's insanely high notes (singing that high has to hurt).

Gerard could sing for me anyday...SIIIIING FOR MEEEE!!!
