-A VERY POTTER MUSICAL!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=C76BE906C9D83A3A&search_query=A+Very+Potter+Musical

It's a full-length musical, but you should just sit down and WATCH IT.

Basically, all of my facebook statuses have been from AVPM and TT lately.

I'll do another post later today when more stuff goes down.

spring awakening audition...

2009-07-23T23:01:00.002-04:00

...okay so I know I owe Maggie a Dan post....and I WILL.

But this is more urgent.

I'm considering sending in an audition video for the Spring Awakening tour.

And I'm not allowed to do musical theater songs.

The audition page (found at http://www.springawakening.com/land/audition/) said alt rock or folk rock. Folk rock? Hmmm..

So, any ideas?

I've come up with so far:

I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab For Cutie

Beast of Burden by The Rolling Stones (not alt or folk rock, but I loooove)

Blowin In The Wind by Bob Dylan

Chelsea Morning by Joni Mitchell

Any other opinions? Let me know.

Gems like this:

And covers of excellent songs, like these:

And excellent things in German:

And lovely boys dancing:

And that makes me happy.

the social norms at an ice cream social

2009-07-21T14:43:00.003-04:00

WARNING: THIS MIGHT MAKE YOU BRAIN MELT...THERE ONLY TWO PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO WILL ACTUALLY GET THIS. BUT I DON'T CARE.

The Social Norms at An Ice Cream Social:
A Guide

When at an ice cream social, you must remember your manners. No matter who's there.

Say for instance, this person walks in.

Most times and places,it would be incredibly inappropriate to attach yourself to his calf.

But, when at an ice cream social, you GO WITH THE NORM.

And I doubt he'd mind.

It's also appropriate to demand a serenade from this man:

Because it is the norm.

But whatever you do, do not exclude this man:

Or he will release his short man powers on you.

And that'll melt the ice cream.

And no one wants that.

extra extra read all about it

2009-07-20T10:32:00.005-04:00

...only there wasn't much to read about.

Yesterday, I went to EXTRAS CASTING for The Vampire Diaries. And I've been excited ALL. WEEKEND....

...but then we got there.

And we stood in line for 30 minutes. And gave them a picture and an application....

THAT WAS IT.

However, it was a just grand group I was with.

Maggie (http://maggiethebeast.blogspot.com/ ), who has a new obsession with Jonathan Groff
Jamye, who can make the most annoying sound in the world
Chelsea, who can SPEAK LIKE A MAN!
Cole, who looked very brooding and vampiric in his headshot
Connor, who can fit 20 grapes in his mouth

So, after the anti-climatic audition, we came back to the house and "watched" Poltergeist. We made it maybe an hour.

Then we got distracted.

As I am right now. You know why?

Aren't you?

guys in ties...oh my!

2009-07-18T08:51:00.002-04:00

Ties make every guy instantly hotter.

Especially if they are worn loosely.

Suspenders and blazers are interchangable with 'TIES'.

PHOTO PROOF:

Ties-

Rupert Grint

Blazers-

Anton Yelchin:

Suspenders-

Jonathan Groff

Actually the suspenders thing CAN be proven by looking at ANY of the Melchiors from Spring Awakening. =]

A gathering of SA proportions:

And since we all know this was just an excuse for me to look at hot guys...

and he makes me happy.

...interperet that as you will.

that is one fine suit he has on

2009-07-17T09:07:00.005-04:00

Let me set the scene: family vacation, we are LOST trying to find the theater in Myrtle Beach (the Vegas of the beach world).

We are all hungry, but we ordered these tickets weeks ago. I'm hyperventilating.

Standing in line...people behind me are wondering why there's a line to see Ice Age 3.

And then we're inside. This is the biggest normal movie theater I've EVER seen. HUGE. My sister dashes over people to get 4 seats on the 2nd row from the middle...and the lights go dark.

I REALLY enjoyed it. I geeked out about the lighting and cinematography. The acting was stellar. The music sucked a lot less this time around. The writing was much better than Kloves's LAST Potter film.

Daniel Radcliffe (*gasp*) can ACT? When did that happen? The Felix Felicus scene made me giggle immensely. You just can't help but love his short little self!

But let's talk about the REAL stars of the film:

5. FREDDIE STROMA!!!

Don't you just like the look at him? I mean, WAY too cute to be McClaggen.....but I'm not complaining. The lip-licking scene.........

.......well, let's just say, I'm sure we ALL wanted ice cream.

4. Hero Fiennes-Tiffin

He's just the creepiest looking kid since The Omen.

Also, to any movie folks, is anyone else dying over the mise-en-scene? Love love love.

3. Evanna Lynch

Because who DOESN'T love a girl who'll wear a LION on her head?

2. Jessie Cave

Her fogging up the glass and then DRAWING on it was the BEST. SCENE. IN. THE. MOVIE.

Watch her. She's gonna be HUGE.

And, as everyone knows, the REAL star of Half-Blood Prince was....

1. Tom Felton's suit

I don't know WHO'S idea that suit was.

But I love it. I mean, Tom Felton is attractive in ANYTHING.

But, I am a firm believer in suits. And ties. (And suspenders, but that deserves a blog in itself).

And that was a FINE suit he had on.

And that makes me very happy.

Take a deep breath.

Because you're about to enter my hectic world.

I'm Julianna.

I'm going to document many things in this blog, including my freshman year, America's Next Top Model, Harry Potter, books in general, movies in general, musicals, ect. ect.

ALSO, if I'm allowed near the set, I'll try and cover the Vampire Diaries (airing on the CW this fall)...because it's being shot in my town.

So.....

...are you ready? Because I am.
