Moving Forward

Formal weekend is over, but it was freaking awesome. After catching up with sleep last night, I am now good to go.

Tomorrow marks the last episode of the Voegthly Show, which I'm excited for. However, even more snow and freezing rain are in the forecast. I'm almost sick of snow days.


I have projects and junk to work on tonight, but when I get a chance to blog in the near future, posts will include:

• Formal!
• Alaina and Black Swan
• An exclusive look at grinding
• And of course, Forever Voeghtly: The Final Episode.

By the way, my French teacher and various other people told me that I need to shave today. Ka-Ching! I am a man.

Rooney Mara

Another snow day. This is ridiculous. But I like it.

I might try to do something productive today, but I'm in the mood to take the day off. So I'll probably...

1. Take down some Christmas decorations (because they're still up).
2. Watch Inception.
3. Pick up my suit.

Anyway, I have some news. Rooney Mara is smokin'. She was the girl in the first scene of The Social Network. I started liking her then. I think it's the eyes - like in the scene where she reads Mark's blog about her and looks up with tears welling. Oh, it got me. So sad.


I make myself laugh. Anyway, she will be playing Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. And she's on the cover of W magazine.


Apparently Fincher is changing the story a bit - the script is supposed to have a more interesting ending. Lisbeth Salander is probably my literature girlfriend. I'm excited.

Wednesday Night Comedy

Two blog posts in one day. Whaaattt?

Hey, we can all use some comedy. And my friends will agree... this dude has Alaina's sense of humor.

When Snow Attacks

Snow has once again struck Johnstown! Yet another snow day is sort of nice. I've forgotten what a full, serious week of school feels like. My week was beginning to feel a little too routine.

Today I'm working on a few projects. I had some essays to finish up, and I've been piecing together clips from black and white movies for the McCort Prom Fashion Show. The final episode of the Voeghtly Show airs tomorrow morning (if we have school). Forever Voeghtly: The Final Episode should be fun.


I am starting to get a little nervous and stressed out about the college situation. I just wish I knew where I was going. You can check your status for Chapman University online. When it changes from "Decision Pending," a decision has been reached. "Admission Accepted" means you're in and "Decision Complete" means you're not. My friend from film camp says that he was accepted a few days ago.

Now I'm nervous. Are they reviewing applications? When will I find out? I thought we wouldn't know until March.

Oh well. I'll stop complaining. Unless Johnstown is buried under 20 feet of snow, I am going to Philadelphia with my peeps on Friday. I want to check out the Temple film building. But apparently, the school is a ghost town because no one is back from break yet.


My french teacher said that everyone wants to be a senior, but the unknowingness of it all becomes killer come January. I know others are in the same boat though. For one scholarship, I wrote a letter to Adam inspired by Dr. Seuss's Oh! The Places You'll Go. It was fun, and helped give me a little hope.


Plus, McCort's Winter Formal is on Saturday, and I'm super excited to get my freak on.

First Week of 2011

Wow. It's Saturday already. And 1:00 pm! The first week of the new year is over.

This week was pretty fun. Although, I was also slightly stressed. I put off blogging because I really didn't know what to write about.

I've been clingy this week. Alaina and I have been hanging out a lot lately. I had late bedtimes the past two nights. This morning, I had to get up at seven for prom fashion show practice. The theme is old movies, and we had to learn a 50s style type dance. Now, I'm finally getting started on projects. I'll probably take a nap after lunch.

Anyway, I wanted to leave you with two funny things to make you laugh.

First, Ellen talked about the best web videos of the year on her show the other day. This is one that I hadn't seen, but I think that it's super funny. My wisdom teeth experience really wasn't that bad.

Unicorn After Wisdom Teeth

Next up is this crazy dude. He's vowed to watch the film Julia & Julia every day for an entire year. And blog about it. I watched Julia & Julia in French class last year. I thought it was fun, but I wouldn't want to watch it for 365 days in a row. However, his blog is really funny. Check it out.

The Lawrence/Julia & Julia Project - Day 38

Senioritis

That's it. I'm a goner. I have senioritis.

Going back to school wasn't as rough as I expected it to be. Instead it was more like waking up from a really vivid dream. The magic of break vanished almost as quickly as it appeared.

Oh well. Now, I have new projects and such to work on. Except, I can't focus. And I haven't adjusted my sleep pattern yet, so I'm tired.

Now that I'm done applying for college, I have begun the search for scholarships. I found a few with deadlines this month. I've been brainstorming. Later tonight, I am going to attempt to actually write something.

The most exciting things in my life right now are the preparations for my high school's performance of Bye Bye Birdie and my acting class's final talk show episode. Wake Up, It's Voeghtly! I guess that's what I'll talk about in the coming days.

For anyone else with senioritis, good luck.

Sneaky Sunday

I can't believe it's Sunday. At the start of break, a week off felt like an eternity. Now, it's coming to an end.

When Alaina and I arrived in Pittsburgh, we spent a grand total of 45 minutes in the South Side. I've always liked Pittsburgh, and the South Side was fun. However, H & M had very few suit jackets and none that I liked.

Alaina and I then headed to Urban Outfitters - our hipster store of choice. Alaina purchased two shirts and a hat. Plus she bought me a cozy blue sweater for Christmas.

After a fun drive home, we hung at out my uncle's house with the family and neighbors. We also chilled at our friend Matt's house. Plus, we set off fireworks with Alaina's family. It was a fun way to bring in the new year. I crashed in my warm bed around three.

Anyway, in the course of the night, I made a shocking realization. Girls substitute baby powder for shampoo and water. You read that right.

Whenever chicks can't find the time to shower or decide to go on a sleepover spree, they pour baby powder in their hair to eliminate the grease or something. Alaina's hair looked good on Friday, but she kept pouring baby powder in her hair. And whenever I ran my fingers through her brown locks, my hands were left with a strange feeling - like when you eat some chicken wings and can't wash the grease off. Oh goodness! Not trying to insult you Alaina! I'm sure guys have weird secrets too.


Blah. I don't want to return to school tomorrow. I have to get cracking on scholarship essays and other projects. But it was all fun while it lasted. May the force be with all of you as you return to school tomorrow.
