I went to regionals for marching band too, but we came in second.

I cried watching Brokeback Mountain, but I don't think that anything's made me cry as much as reading The Normal Heart. Not even the AIDS part (although that was heartwrenching), just the prejudice experienced by all of the characters. I started sobbing uncontrollably when Felix goes to talk to Ben and mentions that he always wanted to take Ned to the place he owned in the country, and that Felix had always wanted to go visit Ben and his wife at the house they built.

Randomly, I saw someone decked out in full cowboy apparel today. It immediately made me think of Brokeback Mountain.

sweetsiren, the part of The Normal Heart that did it for me was when Bruce is telling Ned about taking Albert out to see his mother before he died. I was sobbing. My roommate literally took the book from me because she was worried I would make myself sick.

Yeah, we had these big medals instead of Honor Cords because everyone else did Honor Cords and we had to be different. I know I was crying while being inducted because at my school (at least when I got in) it was such a big deal

And crying even more when I got my letter in homeroom in April 2004 saying that I got in. I wasn't sure if I would make it my junior year so it was just the best moment of my life. Updated On: 1/23/06 at 10:06 PM

I hate that part. Like, I just can't handle it. My stomach just sinks so low that I feel really sick. And all I can hear when I think about the end of the play is Raul screaming.

I think I need to read TNH.

Was in drama, though didn't have that program. I got the undergraduate award in Grade 11, and then the Graduate award in grade 12. It also gave the smallest prize ($50) while the maths and sciences gave away huge prizes, stupid funding.
Was in band for 7 years.
Danced when I was little, continue to dance, alone, in my room.

I need to go see if TNH is at my school's library.

I loaned my precious copy of The Normal Heart to a friend. I trust him, but I wish I hadn't let him take it.

Oh, the part about Bruce taking Albert to his mother almost made me physically ill with fury. It's so horrible.

I was in my elementary school's drama society (basically, grades 4-6 doing a musical in the spring), and I took dancing lessons when I was little - I quit after 3rd grade because I was so uncoordinated that they put me in a class where everyone else was 2 years younger than I was. I would have quit mid-year, but I wanted the pretty costumes I got to wear for the recital.

I just got my final grades and somehow managed straight A's! YAY. Sorry, I had to share.

[CanadianSnowbird]

Posted: 1/23/06 at 10:15pm

I quit dancing because every year the final performance was a play. And every year it was the same girls getting the lead parts and that kinda pissed me off.

Yay, SD!

I think everyone needs to read The Normal Heart.

My download of the reunion show just finished. But, it said it couldn't open and now I can't find it on my computer. boo.

Congrats! I found out during my meeting today that it's a mistake that I didn't get a grade for my independent research last semester. He gave me a higher grade than I deserve (with the stipulation that I'll make up the work this semester) but it was an administrative issue that it wasn't updated. So that raises my GPA for last semester like a full 0.65. Updated On: 1/23/06 at 10:20 PM

Weird, Fantab. All sorts of computer problems tonight. I wish there were an FTP site where all of this stuff was available.

Congrats, siamese!

Snowbird, when I was in 6th grade, the school play was Annie, and the lead role went to the PTA president's daughter. She was talented, but I couldn't help but think that she got the part for reasons other than talent.

I used to dance too. really hardcore, like 7 hours a week. I quit because it was too much pressure on my part and I wanted to be involved in other things like drama and stuff. I know this post is late in reference to what you guys were talking about but I just got on and I felt like I had to share

[Allie]

Posted: 1/23/06 at 10:22pm

SD, I would totally host one, if my computer didn't hate, and if I wasn't afraid that my school's network would get pissed off.

There used to be a RENT ftp. *cries*

I think I had almost everything from that thing!
