always will be...

My mother tells me I've always been artistic. She tells me I knew all my colors before my numbers and ABC's. I believe it. 

I don't remember much of my past, my childhood that is. I remember glimpses, mostly in the six to eleven age. I do know however that D*sney movies made me the artist I am today (and other classic animated films of the 90's or earlier). I was born in 1990, to late to ever see the coming out of Beauty and the Beast (which I didn't see till I was about 5), the same for the little mermaid (though I know that was around three or four). The little mermaid was an insperation, I remember singing like ariel (the Ah's because I didn;t know the words to any other part) on the swings going higher and higher in pitch as I'd go higher and higher on the swingset.

I do however remember a lot of my sixth birthday, and the summer it was in. That summer I got to go to my Grandparents house in California. I remember we went to see "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". I saw Esmerelda and the way she danced, and I was awestruck. She was so beautiful, brave and graceful. I loved her, I idoled her.

I had been in dance classes since I was very small. but at the sight of this movie I knew that one day I wanted to be a dancer.

I also remember I liked to draw, but during third grade, a professional artist came to our class to teach us the basics. i remember she told me I had great potential and an eye for art and how things look, and how to get it on paper. Since then I felt I HAD to get better, and look at me now! I draw so frequently, and I'm constantly progressing, though the last art class I took was freshman year in high school, (except graphics, but the two held different kinds of art sooo....)

As the years progressed I remember different flames of inspiration grew and died, while others still glow strong. I joined choir in fifth grade, I've remained a prominent singer ever since.

Dancing however, I never practiced. At the age I was at I was embarressed by my body, I always had to have a special costume custom made do to my height and build. I didn't like to practice where people could see, so I didn't do it much. I still loved it... but I guess I thought the actual routines were bland and without finesse... no excitement there at all.
During the summer before middle school, my parents decided to stop paying for dance classes, due to my lack of practice. However, in middle school I took ballroom and hip hop. I didn't go forward much in either. I was at that age where children are cruelest. I was mocked out of both, I hated dancers, for the majority of the groups were foul people.

I still loved it though.

random memories/facts-

I never liked cinderella, she was a weakling princess (same with snow white) I loved the mice and the dwarves though. I loved watching the animation

I remember when I watched Mary Poppins I would replay Step in Time over and over again, (cant get enough of that dancing!)

I love Lady and the Tramp, along with The Aristocats

I remember watching Tarzan in a drive-in theater. I've loved Jane ever since, it's like we're the same person!

I was obsessed with Sailor Moon (what REALLY got me started in drawing)

I always made costumes for myself out of sheets/fabric scraps and safety pins.


I ALWAYS WILL BE AN ARTIST!

lol

I took the "animal attraction" quiz on gURL.com
		my animal dating style is... crazy-for-you crane Do you draw hearts on your geometry homework? Spell out L-O-V-E in your alphabet soup? Then it's no surprise a hopeless romantic like you is the type that's attracted to traditional romantic gestures such as flowers, love letters, and poetry that signify a special bond with your one and only. Read more... What's your animal attraction dating style?

jesss....I will tell you all you wish

SOOooooooo.... Into the Woods opens tomorrow night...

If I'm late to rehearsal or call again I'm kicked out of the show. I always have a good reason for why I'm late, but I never tell them 'cuz it's no excuse.

My costume as a chorus member, is austrian-esque
seriously, last night, after our first costume/makeup rehearsal the first song that pops into my head is "doll on a music box" from chitty chitty bang bang here's that song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ygs2xfjJG2M


yay!!, it just made me think of it, it doesnt really look THAT much alike




so,time to rant about my english class (or as I like to call it : engilsh)
my teacher, is Judith Killion

the class (or rather SHE)
is a ten times worse repeat of Clothing 3 with Hutchings(Wells)

eeeevvvvviiiiiilllllllllllll....


okay

question

when was the last time Jennessa wrote a research paper and actually did a good job on it?
I will tell you: eigth grade, on Joan de' Arc ( I doubt I spelled that right)

we had weeks to gather sources and right a rough draft

now. I have (had) THREE DAYS to do this, mind you. this is during TECH WEEK

gah. she doesn't teach. she just gives us an assignment, doesnt tell us how to do it or how she wants it. and expects it to be perfect. stupid.

AND she piles it on

I'm just ranting, I can pass the class, with a little more effort. It's just irritating.


AND currently I am failing singing for the actor. because "apparently" I didn't turn in my last practice log.


WHAAAAT?!?!?! I did. I KNOW I did, I witnessed my accompianist sign it, and thus I then put it on her desk in class.

GRRRRR I hate this

and I have no time to LOOK for it( because I believe I got it back from her, and if I did that would be great)

that's all the time I have folks

hopefully I'll update soon right?

riiiiiight

Luvs. Nessa the messa

first blogspot post EVAR to be written by a crazy coat-rack lady in college

I officially do not like my roommate- she can't keep a bathroom clean to save her LIFE, the only reason our sink doesn't drain properly is HER and her hair and makeup and nailpolish and URG

If I had the chance to actually be friends with her it would probably be easier to discuss cleaning issues, I may be dissorganized, but I function, and I can keep a bathroom clean (NONE of my suite mates know how to clean a bathroom, I'm it's soul keeper) GAH
AND she keeps me up at night, I know I have kept her up several times, or got her up on false alarms, but....oh well, that's the end of the roommate rant

I could rant about english,

but I'm kinda behind in it so I'm off to finish my essay(evil teacher who doen't know how to teach, it's like Mrs. Hutchings allover again, 'cept she's nicer)

Opening night of Into the Woods is November 7th, get your tickets now it's gonna be AMAZING, sorry you couldn't see crucible, it was the best production of Crucible I've ever seen. the next show is AIDA and that's gonna be in the spring I believe

singing for the actor is cool, I'm learning loads on how to "use" my voice, or rather DONT use my voice *that's the key, too much control hurts you*

they were right when they said that the theater group is tight knit, Its like a big family :)

well, I have to go now, but I will write LOADS more later
