Interview With Robin

Hey y'all! Today for my blog, instead of rambling on and on about myself like I always do, I have a very special guest, my best friend Robin McCarthy!

Why, hello there, Robin. How's it goinnnng??

Why, hello hello yourself, Lye. I'm goood. I suppose since this is your intervi

ew, you're going to ask how I am.

How are you?

I'm fine. I'm a tad nervous, though, because school elections for next year are coming up, and I'm currently brainstorming campaign slogans and whatnot.

What do you want to run for?

Ideally, I would like to run for Secretary so that I can work my way up to President by the time I reach Grade 12. However, I'll be a new-to-the-council sophomore next year, so I most likely will run for Grade Rep.

That sounds fascinating.

No need to get sarcastic, Delilah.

Other than aspiring to become Leader of the Free World, what are your other school-based hobbies?

Well, next September I want to join the cheerleading squad, and I'm demonstrating my interest currently by attending practices and acting as a "Junior Cheerleader". Its a very exclusive position: generally they only let 5 of the Junior Cheerleaders into the squad every year (there are 12 of us currently).

Again, fascinating.

Oh, you don't understand. I also want to

join the volleyball team next year, and the school newspaper, preferably as a columnist.

Too bad you didn't make it into the musical, otherwise you would have had control over all the departments. :)

...

Oh, look, I'm really sorry, Robin. I didn't mean it. I'm sure you'll make a great stage manager.

Junior Stage Manager. I'm only a freshman, Lye.

Junior, Nothing, what's the difference? Anyways, we only have a few moments left-

This isn't timed, Lye. You're just writing down everything I'm saying.

What sort of books do you like?

Oh, well, my favorite book is The Lovely Bones. I really don't have one sound explanation why, otherwise than I think it's a great book. Ha

ving read it three times, I've finally moved on to another book. I'm torn, however, between 1984 and A Clockwork Orange. I just can't decide.

...

Puck looks better without the mohawk, right?

Oh, no way. Mohawk all the way.

I disagree. He's just too tough and muscly to be a believable junior. Finn, on the other hand, can totally pull--

Not this again! I thought we already reached a settlement with Christin about this.

But Robin-

I'm going to go finish my English homework, Lye. See you at dinner.

Well, that was really awkward. Anyways, Robin used to be my second best friend, after Ivy. But after Ivy went all backstabby-stab on me and deserted me forever, I was stuck with Robin, who I thought had little personality. I also thought she was permanently stuck the 1990's, just like Ivy was in the 1970's, but Robin had this obsession with Madonna, which I thought was weird.

But as I got to know her better, she apparently didn't have any cult following over the 90's, and she was a normal girl. Well, I shouldn't really sa

y normal. To put it rudely, she's a really nice and awesome Nicki but with friends. Robin is really motivated and gets involved in school, which I guess in some ways is good for me, because it kind of makes me want to do the sam

e. I don't of course, unless they ever make a DA or an Order of The Pheonix at J.R. Dahling Jr/ Sr High. Anyways, this pretty much wraps up my blog for April 6th 2011.

My Song of the Day...

GET BACK, a really awesome Beatles song. Wikipedia says that it was released "on 11 April 1969, and credited to "The Beatles with Billy Preston.", who ever that is. I like "GET BACK" because it is awesome, and I like The Beatles. On my Favourite Songs Playlist of 18 songs, 10 of them are Beatles

Songs. Take that, haters.

My font has been messed up. My bad.

My Phrase-To-End-My-Blog of the Day...

Actually, when I googled 'haters gonna hate', I really liked some of the pictures. And I really like saying

"Haters Gonna Hate".

Warning: tumblr was not harmed in the writing of this post.

Hi y'all! It doesn't appear that I've blogged in a long time, and I apologize about that. I've just been really busy with school this year. Being in Grade Nine really takes up a lot of my time, especially since I got a part in our school's musical.

What? You didn't know that I was in Hairspray, Broadway's Big Fat Musical Hit? Why, yes, dear reader, I am.

And what's more, I'm an understudy for one of the Dynamites (a trio of singers)! I find that pretty impressive, especially since this is my second musical ever. Christin and Nicki are both in it too: Nicki is Penny Pingleton's understudy, which is pretty impressive as she's only in 7th grade. I'm honestly a bit jealous because I wanted to be Penny, but I guess I'm not that good.

Well, other than that, school's been pretty... school-ish. We had exams at the end of January and I did really well, even on History, which is my worst subject.

I got a really high average on my report card, and I was promised new sunglasses,

the kind that Darren Criss from Glee wears...

.. except the one's I found were blue, and looked like this..

.. but then after they arrived, I decided that, unfortunately, they didn't suit me and so some other girl in our boarding house got them. I say "some other girl" because she really is "some other girl".

Literally. She's been around since before exams in January, and nobody knows who she is. Well, I'm sure that Miss J knows, but she refuses to tell us, too. So we're completely in the dark.

Speaking of 'in the dark', Miss J is hiding something else from us. She's really terrible sometimes. I wish she'd just tell us what was goin

g on.

I'm looking at other blogs while I'm reading this, like bearpicnic's Hannah's blog, and I realized that their blogs are more illustrated and more focused on one topic. I wonder why mine isn't... hmm...

Anyways, I've got to be running. I want to go surf mugglenet now. I promise that I'll write soon!

This is a picture that I found of me last year. At least, I think it's me. I can't really tell.

Shall I do the Song I'm Listening To then? Mmkay, here we go...

Today's song is Granger Danger from the viral musical A Very Potter Musical. I like this song not only because it is my favorite Harry Potter character..

.. with one of my least favorite..

.. and have them both sing about a character that I feel mutual about.

Plus, it's catchy and I find that I'll be singing it for days after hearing it a couple times on youtube or something. Which is fine, because it's just so good.

Epiphany: I should get a tumblr account. I use too many pictures from tumblr for my own good.

Also, I've decided maybe I should get a catchy phrase to say at the end of every blog. Today:
