Yup, I decided to get this thing back up and going! Wow!

Yes, I am sorry for not updating. Been extremely busy. That is why I am not writing in complete senstences. Am working very hard for my acting career. So much to update, not enough time. You know how it is.

Oscars were last night. Chirs Rock was very funny. I want to get a transcript. Finding Neverland won Best Score, which I knew it would. I am very pleased with that. You all know my opinions on the Oscars and how much Finding Neverland has changed me.

Hilary Swank won Best Actress. Jamie Foxx won Best Actor. Clint Eastwood won Best Director. Morgan Freeman won Best Supporting Actor, Kate Blancet wond Best supporting actress. Wish Kate and Johnny would have won. Like Swank though.

Anyway, that is all I have time to write. Hope to update the site soon.

Yes, my friends, I am indeed alive. However, I have been extremely busy the last few weeks as I have not been writing. In fact, I have to go to a meeting in like five mintues, but as I said, I am trying to update as often as possible.

Finished the novel Dances with Wolves and it was great. I just started the Da Vinci Code and it has already captured me. I am not sure which one I will do for my book review, but by the time it is due, I might have a few books to choose from.

I've fallen in love with acting all over again since I've joined some formal schooling. I don't know what I would do in my life if I couldn't act. I love it that much. Oh God, it's my dream and I'm tearing up right now when I think about the long and difficult journey I will make when I become a profession actress. People tell me that the chances for such are low, that what I what to do is impossible, even though I am very talented. But know what? It's not because I will push myself so hard and knowing that I feel complete when I act is something so genuine and rare. Really, I can't tell you through words.

Well, I must close for now. Sadly, my life has been almost out of control, but I love it. I have a four-day weekend coming up and so I am really looking foward to that and updating my site.

Love ya,

-Vianne

Sorry I haven't been writing lately. I've been with my uncle in Alaska hunting wolverines....

No, seriously, I've had no time to write and now I really don't know where to begin. I'll just start with this morning...

I lost my retainer (again). Cursed a lot trying to find it and finally found it laying under a  blanket. Gosh, those things are so hard to keep track of - especially when you are eating because you just lay it down somewhere. Speaking of which, I'm eating crackers so where is my retainer? Dang it!

Yes, I've been losing everything. Monday I lost my glasses and looked EVERYWHERE for them. Today I found them in the school office. I need to get my eyes checked on anyway. I want contacts because my eyes are really bad but I can't wear classes because they annoy the heck out of me and if I wore them full time, they would be broken in a day or two.

Collected and counted more pennies and coins. We now have 549 dollars or something so we raised our goal to 600 dollars. For those of you who don't know, I am hosting, designing, leading, the big boss, kind of thing for this Tsunami Relief Coin Drive at our school. I'm extremely excited because our original goal was three hundred dollars. We stomped that.

Am Juliet in a class reading of Romeo and Juliet. I wanted to be Romeo because no one else did, but no, I have to be Juliet. She's fun though, I like her. She's not a depressed goth like Romeo. It's kind of funny because the entire class reads their parts in montone, no emotion, expression, half-a-sleep kind of voice, and I read with at least a little expression, LOL! I toned it down quite a bit to not sound too dramatic and it was really well. I can read old english very smoothly so I'm kind of happy about that.

Another thing about that...I understand Shakespeare really well...his writing and everything. I guess it's suppose to be kind of hard, but it comes to me very easily. Kristen too, which I am glad. He's a very funny writer...a lot of sex jokes and Kristen and I were the only ones laughing at his jokes and we felt like idiots, but they were funny!

Anyway, must go. Rode Misty tonight...she still has it! It was finally dry enough to do some racing. God, I love that horse! I love all my horses!

So, I must close. Take care and bless you!

Stayed home to care for my two sick brothers and actually I am feeling rather ill myself *cough cough* No, seriously, I didn't get a wink of sleep last night.

Erm, okay. Oscar Nominations were released today. Finding Neverland got nominated for

 7

Oscars including Best Picture, Best Actor in a Leading Role (Mr. Johnny Depp, ladies and gentleman), Best Score (The score was simply beautiful), Best Film Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Adapted Script...crap, can't think of the last one.

Anyway, other nominations included Clint Eastwood (for Actor and Director), Leo DeCaprio (Best Actor), Jamie Foxx (Best Actor - hey!), The Aviator (for a ton of things), and such. The Aviator (staring Leo D. and Kate Blanchet) took 11 (not as big as our 7) nominations...like Lord of the Rings last year. I am very disappointed Mr. Marc Foster didn't take a nomination for best director, but nonetheless, I am very pleased with what Finding Neverland did recieve. I wil keep you ALL updated on Oscar crap (whether or not you want to) until the big day which is Fed. 27.

Anyway, sorry I haven't been writing. I've been extremely busy with everything, but I hope you enjoyed my French post the by way. Sadly, I must retire for the moment because I have to write two peoms for english. As a creative writing exercise, I feel there is way too many restrictions and that limits the creative parts. Plus this whole thing is a group project, and again, that just murders creative writing. Oh well, I'll see what I can do. I might not stop at two poems, but might write 7instead.

Need to make up a science test tomorrow...heh...

Oh, before I do close, I promised MJ to recall some of the things in our Science class yesterday. Enjoy, and I am sure you can see why I feel like i am LOOSING brain cells in that class. It's fun though. Thanks guys! And, I would like to note, I may have added a phrase here or there, but it's baiscally all true. I'm not mentioning any names for their own protection...

- What do the people in Brazil use to fuel their cars?

- Brazil, Italy?

-Sure.

- Gas. Duh.

-Actually, they use ethane.

-What's that made of?

-What IS that made of (we've only been studing about it for the past two weeks)?

-Uh, bananas.

-Bananas. Why?

-Because there are a lot of them there. Well, there is some here too, but not as many.

-There is a lot of water, why don't they use that?

-Because they are dumb. Actually, that's a brilliant idea...to run cars off of water. Or wait, sooolar power...or batteries!

-You would need more batteries than you could ever comprehend to run a car. (Me - what? like 3?)

-No, we could use DURACELL (*) because they are long lasting, the offical partner of NASCAR, and the new and improved copper top.

 

There you have it! Oh and I remembered the last Nomination for Finding Neverland (apologies)...Best Art Direction!

J'ai décidé de taper l'entrée de journal d'aujourd'hui en français. Je dois pratiquer, vous savez. C'est vraiment chaud hors et j'ai voulu voyager aujourd'hui ou même le travail avec le Cric, mais l'arène de pâture a tourné dans un lac. Je ne peux pas attendre l'été. Aucune école, chauffer le temps, voyageant quand mon petit coeur désire. Est demain l'école. Pourquoi faire des weekends doivent être si courts. Je n'ai pas traité même des Entraves et cela est triste parce que je veux si désespérément le finir. Le manque de motivation, oui.

Like I said no time to write. I'm just letting ya'll know I'm still alive. I promise I'll update some time soon, hopefully.

Thanks.

Must write quick...yes, that's a song you've heard from me more than once...

Okay, erm, school is two hours late because of the ice rink we have outside...quite fun, mind you.

Need to do some writing (perhaps starting a new book...), finish Desperado tonight, the works.

Sadly, it is my duty to report, Finding Neverland did not take home a Golden Globe Sunday night. I would like to congratulate those who did, Leonardo DeCaprio took best actor and The Aviator took Best Picture. I am puzzled why Finding Neverland didn't take an award. Perhaps because it lacked what critics today call good films - sexuality, language, voilence, exc. Perhaps because Finding Neverland was pure and simple - pure beauty, really. And that is something so foreign in our society today. Nevertheless, awards DON'T matter. How many trophies sitting on Finding Neverland's mantle does not chance the effect it had on me. It has given me something worth more than just the glory of a trophy. Once again, congrats Finding Neverland.

You can see photos on the site...

Um, please, if you haven't already, donate to the Tsunami relief efforts. Please, just a few dollars even. It's for a great cause and you would be helping soooooooooooooooo many people. There is a link on the main page and an address on the Featurette page. Thanks very much.

Happy Birthday MLK...and Bless all you did for our country and our people.

 

Must make this quick...

It's rather sad that I am spending a perfectly good Saturday night writing *typing* in this thing. Oh well, a lot of things are rather sad.

It's -30 degrees today! Shorts weather, yippee! No, I'm joking, but they should make a movie on my long and dangerous epics of feeding my horses. It would be very entertaining, seriously.

Tolo is tonight. It's a formal winter dance, and guess what, I'm not going. Yeah, a shocker isn't it? But I don't think I would have had that much fun. I would have liked getting dressed up and glamorous (who doesn't once in awhile?) But I could use the fifteen dollar admission cost to donate to the Tsunami relief efforts, which is way more important that a school dance.

Lost my retainer today, spend two hours looking, found it, and now I think I lost it again. *sigh*

The Golden Globes are tomorrow, and I am definitely going to tune in (I might even dress up in my Tolo gown for the heck of it...um, no.), perhaps even record because Finding Neverland is going to kick butt. I should get a list of nominations tonight.

Let's see...spent three hours playing guitar, piano, and flute. Granty told me I have to have Sailing Songs down by Tuesday and it's multiple pages, 13 key changes, and 26 time changes, so yeah, it's going to be a great weekend for me. It's an AWESOME song though and it's all about sailing songs, so I enjoy it.

Um, had planned to finish Impediments by Tuesday. I must stop kidding myself...

Here's luck to you, and God Bless,

-Vianne

Well, it's Wednesday. Wheee! Not, really, I'm just incredibly frustrated at the moment. Not exactly frustrated, just irritated I guess.

Do you guys wanna hear it?

No? Well too bad, because I'm venting anyway.

Okay, first off, before I begin, I would like to say thank-you to our Guest Speaker...you're a great and funny guy, and have a powerful message that was really touching. So thanks very much.

Today in Chemistry, I had to sit by one girl, Sarah. I didn't mind at first. I haven't really met her or anything (I guess she's sort of popular), but I don't pass judgement easily. I guess, she REALLY doesn't like me, but that's totally okay. Well, not even two mintues into the lecture, a guy in our class said something incredibly insiteful *sarcastic voice rings out*...it was just one of those things you should have thought before you talked kind of deals. Yes, we all have our moments, some more frequently than others. Anyway, I said something such as "That was insiteful" or rather...didn't mean anything by it, but she turned and said to me - "Why do always have to say you're so smart?" I merely replied "I didn't say I was smart." But, it's just things like that that annoy the heck out of me - jumping to conclusions and passing judgements. And then, she made a comment about my jacket. "Is that real fur? Because if it is you're an animal killer, and I hate animal killers. They're stupid and mean." Again, extremely annoying. And even if it isn't real (I honestly have no clue), I wouldn't have been the one to kill the rabbit or whatever. I was just like "Oh yes, I went out and killed a rabbit just so I could make this jacket to annoy you." Finally, she just riped my assignment from me and looked at my answers without saying anything. I said "You're welcome," and she just said "I didn't say thank-you." That made me extremely mad, so I took my and her assignment and said "Don't do that - ever." Wow, I really sound awful here, but my God, seriously.

Then we got our tests back. And appearently the class didn't do extremely well. The teacher said that the person with the hightest score was somewhere in the third row. I'm in the third row and everyone just glared at me. I felt like a friggin' idoit. I HATE it when people do that. Because in fact, I didn't get the highest score on the test and I don't really care one way or another.

The fact is, I don't care! and Don't question me either. Especially Chirstal, because in gym today, I told Chrissy I didn't really care about homework or the test (because I don't at all, seriously) and Christal HAD to second guess me, saying "oh yeah, you care and you know it." That my friend, is a major pet peeve of mine. When I say something, don't freaking second guess me. I know what I said, I always speak the truth. When people do that, especially Chirstal, it makes me feel that I'm not worth anything more than that piece of gum on the bottom of your shoe.

There's a whole lot more...got your seat belt on?

People over estimate me way too much. Just because I respect and love my family, doesn't mean I'm Miss Conformity. Just because I have a good head on my shoulders doesn't mean I'm Miss Conformity. Just because I try to be nice doesn't mean I'm Miss Conformity. Just Because I'm happy doesn't mean I'm Miss Conformity. The list goes on and on. I have so many flaws, I couldn't even begin to describe them. I'm NOT perfect, can you see that? Can't you just accept me the way I want to be? Why does everything have to be so normal? We're ALL different...that shouldn't matter. People think they know everything about me. People critique and criticize me when they don't have a freaking clue who I am. I'm happy with who I am. I'm not who I am just to be who I am, but because it's who I am. 

In other words, I didn't dye my hair as a call for attention. I don't do anything I do to get attention. I do it because it's what I like. People often ask me "Why are you so smart?" Why are you so talented?" Why are you so pretty?" And I never can answer those questions. People just don't know me...and yet they think they do. I'm tired of it! And in the end, I think they're jealous of how happy I am...I have dreams and a huge goal that I'm working my butt off to achieve. And they have to laugh at that because they're scared of me. Here's a girl who will grit her teeth and charge into something headfirst without batting an eye, and God help anyone who stands in her way. Here's a girl who will fight ANYONE single handedly if they say she can't do something. If the whole world's against her, she'll still go for her dreams. And because of that, they're scared.

Just like at Sunday's People's Choice Awards. Johnny won Best Actor, and I enjoyed his accpetence speech very much (via satelittle). But then you have these people who want to make something of it so they said that it and his apperance was alarming and disturbing. What a bunch of crap. Seriously! He speech was the most entertaining there. It was hilarious and different and totally Johnny. That's it. Heck, when I make speeches, you thought that was alarming and disturbing, I will probably deliver the whole thing in a German accent or something. It's just different, and different is awesome. Great speech Johnny! I'll get it a transcript up on the site or something.

Thanks for your time, ya'll.

Vianne

LOST  is on tonight!
