Class report!

[candyland]

I'm in Visual Basic right now--I think I'm going to enjoy this class =D The professor who was supposed to teach it was Dr. Smith, but he was hit by a car while riding his bike. He's in the hospital with a LOT of serious injuries. I hope he recovers soon =(

So one of the professors who retired last year came in to teach our class. Dr. T...he's spastic, he's enthusiastic, he's crazy, and I think I'm going to have a good time while he's here. Kinda hope he's around for a while =P Thus far, we've discussed how his family name is an architectural masterpiece because of the patterns of the letters. We've talked about how all business problems can be solved if you get a Coke license. We've gone over what a computer is. And we've learned how they fill pop bottles with exactly 16 ounces of Mountain Dew (a paddlewheel linked to a shut-off valve! HA!)

We're discussing coding and stuff...it sort of sounds like we might be doing some basic html... *goes starry-eyed at the idea of being able to do more fun stuff online*

I'm also very excited about choir right now. We're singing "Battle Hymn of the Republic," which we sing every year. Hell, my father sang that version of Battle Hymn when he was in high school back in the highest days of ancient Egypt. But then we're singing Z. Randall Stroope's "Homeland." I sang this song twice in high school, and I worship it! If anybody wants to hear a recording of it, I have the one my high school choir did. But it's beautiful--it could be about any country or place, and it's patriotic without being cheesy.

And then...we're doing "How Can I Keep from Singing?" *melts into a little happy-puddle of Candy-goo* I can't remember the composer/arranger's name, but it's the one with the blue cover. This will mark the third time that I've sung it, and I love it more and more every time I sing it. It's sooooooo beautiful, with a great message....and I'm going to brand myself a music nerd forever with this, but the key change makes me chordgasm. BIG TIME.

I'll probably post lyrics later, just to share the fun =D

Hello, person I don't know. I just have to say that you just typed the lyrics to my favorite part of Jekyll and Hyde.

Damn you, Hyde. Set me free!
Can't you see? You are me!
No! Deep inside!
I am you. You are Hyde.

That just made my day. xD

I've only just gotten my hands on a CD of the musical and have been stuck on Confrontation for hours XDD

And yes! That part is just...the BEST. ♥

*two-fingered salute* Always glad to meet new people and make them happy~!

[articulation.livejournal.com]

Isn't that cd love? Seriously, I could listen to it for hours and not get bored. Everything is just so good.

Meeting new people is fun. :D

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

Well the CD that I have is my sister's and it's a bit weird...on the messed-up side I think. Ah, well...that's what you get when you bootleg.

...I'll probably bug Candy to give me the whole soundtrack sooner or later XD

Yes it is~ Nice to meetcha! :D

[articulation.livejournal.com]

xD Bootleg cds are kinda sketch because of that. That's why my "steal cds from the library and burn them onto my computer" plan doesn't work all that well all the time.

Nice to meet you, too. :D

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

This is true and this is why I have friends like Candy XDD Just kidding~

...it's sad...I actually took time to sit here and type out the lyrics for the entire song XDD

[articulation.livejournal.com]

xD

Don't feel bad. I've done that, too. xD

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

Would you believe I have the whole soundtrack of the Phantom of the Opera movie that came out a little while ago written down on paper? I get really bored sometimes. And musicals pwn my soul XD;;;;

[articulation.livejournal.com]

I think I have Parade all written out somewhere; don't feel bad. Plus, it's a musical. Musicals > most everything else.

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

Good point. But sadly, I have not seen or heard a lot of the classics...like Les Miserables D:

[articulation.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen Le Miz, either, although I've heard maybe ... 4 songs from it?

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

I've gotten to play a couple of songs from it in band...*trying to remember which ones they were...*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I'VE SEEN LES MISERABLES!! My sister got two tickets for Christmas a couple of years ago, and we went together. It was glorious! And I have a couple different versions of that soundtrack, too ♥♥♥

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

*sings* All the wasted time...all the million hours...

That's the only song I really know from it, but I loves it so. And I swear it's Shinichi and Ran's theme song... Do you know Jason Robert Brown's other musical, Songs for the New World? I love that one, too!

[articulation.livejournal.com]

I love that song!

I don't know Songs for a New World but I do know his other, other musical The Last Five Years by heart. Tell me you know it. If you don't, you are so getting it from me because best.musical.ever.

*dotdotdot* *mopes*

...I actually collect song lyrics. If I hear a song I like, then I'll sit down and type out the lyrics. I probably have several hundred Word files in this folder with just song lyrics ^^;;

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

*pats* ^____^;; Of course you know that isn't the only reason I have you as a friend! Who else would hit me on the head when I ask them to?

XDDD I try not to do that actually. I really, really try not to...and I just tried looking for those pages of paper I had with the Phantom of the Opera lyrics but I can't seem to find 'em :D;;;

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

...waaaaaaaaaah ;-; *mope mope mope*

I used to write a lot of songfics, so I'd collect lyrics for that reason ^^;; I is a neeeerd!

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

^_________^ *continues patting*

I've only written...not very many songfics, really...like maybe 2 or 3 altogether--though my favorite one will always be Runaway Train. It was just the perfect song for Kaito, really >.>;;;

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Mrew... *is petted*

Sometimes I'll randomly stick a few lyrics into a story if I feel they fit. But I haven't written a full-fledged songfic in ages >.> Sorta glad I outgrew that phase...

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I actually ripped my copy from my sister's CD right onto my laptop >.>;; But yesh, you may bug me at will--I'll upload it for you whenever you like!!

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

...jshDGJKSAHGKghjkfdshg I hate to ask for things like that, but whenever you have the chance...? ^___^;;;;;; I'll...I'll so work hard to get the vampire fic done within a week of you giving it to me!

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I will do it at the first available chance ♥ And I'm holding you to that vampire fic promise! ;D

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

*nervous sweating but zomg so going to try to make it happen~!*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

*cheers wildly* You can do it!! *dances*
