I don't know if that was the answer you were looking for, but there you have it.Really? No one read this? Not interested?

If you feel like I'm ruining your right to speculate, by all means, ignore this. But if you want to know something that all performing arts majors know, go ahead and pay attention. Non-regional American Dialect using the International Phonetic Alphabet to get the sounds correct. Those before you had the same question you all are asking and figured it out.

It's not that I was ignoring it, its just that its more fun to take everyones opinion on the matter and, as you say, speculate. I did not, nor did I ever, intend to make the performing arts majors feel put out.

There was one movie that I forgot. A limited release of the Death Note live action movie is coming on the 20th and the 21st. Unfortunately for me, I work nights and the only showings are at 7 o'clock on only these two week days where I am. Sucks very much so. I was really looking forward to laughing at the bad lip syncing (they are having the anime cast do the dubbing) and CGI shinigami. Oh well, I'll just have to wait for the DVD.

Welcome Rocky (Who I missed, sorry), and Anomaly!

There are so many things going on. I cannot keep up.

There is no American accent, obviously. There is a New England accent, a New York accent, a Southern accent, a Minnesota accent, and a Valley girl accent. Others, I do not know of.

I like to think I have no accent, as do most in my state (south of the panhandle, that is). But surely, I must, because I don't speak perfect English. Hmm.

My summer? I know I'll be in Florida with my family the... second week in June, I think.

O RLY?

I also saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall, pretty good imo but it was awkward a little bit because I was taking out a lady at the time to see the movie.

Why was it awkward? I went with a woman to see it, and I thought it was about right. The ending had romance story all over it.

I was going to post something more, but my brother got on my computer and closed my window without even saying anything...

I thought it was awkward because it was me and this girl's first date, and I learned that she is a strong Christian, and she is... innocent and naive to world I guess? Oh well, she and I both thought the movie was pretty good, but it had it's moments...

Mother's day is tomorrow!!! What are your plans for you and you mommies? I bought my mom a gift certificate for the nail salon, a card, and I'm taking her out to a concert later.

I guess no one has mothers.

My gift to my mother was not being around. In seriousness, me and my brother bought her a massage/facial package thing that we get here every year. She seems to enjoy it.

Mom at a concert? How did that go?

Mom at a concert? How did that go?

It went really well, it was a free concert that was there to serenade moms for mother's day. A friend of mine that I used to sing in our school choir with was going to be the main event, and rightfully so. This girl that I am talking about made it very far on the show "American Idol", all the way up to where they cut 100 something people down to like 20-something. She is only 17 and still in high school as well, so plenty of time for her to continue developing her gift. But yeah, my mom LOVES music, so I really thought she would enjoy it, and she did.

Well, what other current events are going on right now? Any people have big plans for this summer?
