Senior Blog

Hey it's me.

Recently I noticed that the senior blog was still in my bookmarks bar so I decided to click on it and check out the new changes. My (semi-)surprise was that there were no new changes, no new posts, comments, or polls. Actually, the last post since this one was posted on May 10, which was almost a month ago.
I'm writing this post to ask what the class thinks of the senior blog, and what future (if it has one) is in store. First, it'd be nice to know who actually checks the blog, maybe you could let me and the other members of the class know by commenting under this post.
I also wanted to know your opinions on if we should continue this blog to keep in touch after we graduate from Mirman. Maybe we could start a new blog similar to this. I think a blog would be the best way to keep in touch. I think it'd be cool to keep in touch, even if infrequently. I don't know about you guys, but my experience with this class as a whole has been special, so it'd be nice to not lose it all after Friday.
Just wanted to know your take on things.
JS.

SENIOR LUNCH

okay everyone. so as to not go through what we did on friday...i think we should decide on a lunch by tuesday (one that everyone will like...) so one of our parents can get the lunch...and the money if they so please. so that we can actually have a second senior lunch in our senior year at mirman we should definitely have it this coming friday... so, everyone type what they want to eat in the comments of this post and we can go on from there! go 100% class participation!!! :-P p.s. i would personally like to have baja fresh.

Birthday Partay for Ellie and T

Hiya... just giving you guys an update for the party. It will take place at Ellie's house on the 9th of May from 6:30-11:00 (if you want me to change the times, I will). There will be music, snacks, drinks, pizza, and 2 birthday cakes. Hope you can come.

Peace and Love,
Ellie (Diamant)

Poll

I think that we should have another poll cause it's been a long while since the last one (are we gonna actually have CPK or another senior lunch?). What poll do u think we should have?
peace and love,
ellie

SENIOR DANCE!!!!!!!

Elo poppits. You know how we were talking about having a senior dance after-party on friday at ellie's (or anyone's) house? are we still doing that??? just wanted to make sure. actually, i think we should have a dance meeting tomorrow at lunch covering this topic and more....(attire, etc.) okay. yay we're seniors!

We're Having a Party...

We're having a party.... Dancing to the music... Put on by the DJ (even though there will be none)... on the radio... (song in my head (we're having a party))

This party that we're having is my birthday party! (and T if you want (lemme know) to have a joined party and 2 cakes!!!!!)

This party will be on either the 9th or the 10th (10th is my birthday). Let me know which date works best for all of you there on your computers.

On that note, the Revlon walk, which my mom is making me go to, is on the 10th.... so you all should join me and then we can party!!!

now zoey, a question for you. do you know which time those of us who are riding with you are to meet at your house on friday? we probably discussed this and i forgot but i have to make sure. also, same question regarding pick-up on sunday...anyway....if anybody could leave in extra helpful info regarding this festival that would be appreciated....i just HATE feeling unprepared...:-) okay can't wait to see you thespian people on thursday and good luck with everything!!!!!

your kolhenkhov, evan

p.s. this is rather unrelated but JCL WAS FLIPPIN AWESOME. JUST ASK ME, T, OR JACKIE FOR THE DETAILS. IT WAS REALLY A LOT OF FUN.

p.p.s. ELLIE, ANY NEWS ON THE KATT SURPRISE PARTY GET TOGETHER THINGAMAJIG?????? LET US KNOW ASAP!!!!!! :-)

p.p.p.s. DOES ANYONE WANT TO SEE PROM NIGHT WITH ME ON SATURDAY APRIL 12TH??? I REALLY WANT TO SEE IT. LOOKS LIKE A PRETTY OKAY ONE. WELL, TO SEE WITH FRIENDS AT LEAST....NOT LIKE OSCAR-WORTHY OR ANYTHING.

Obsession with Seussical Continues

For a while i felt like I didn't want to go to rehearsal because... c'mon its spring break! But this excited me again, so cute! Makes me wish I was Gertrude too, although Maynard probably won't have Nick and Evan become THESE happy parents. Check it out.

The KD Show

Hey, what's up?

I hope everyone is having an amazing spring break. I know my spring break seems to be going a lot quicker than I had hoped. Anyway, during the break, my 5 year old cousins came over to my house and they wanted to make a movie and now its on youtube. So, here it is:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3NtSr88hYI

I want to wish all of the latin people good luck at JCL this weekend and I also can't wait for the thespian festival! Have a great last week of spring break!

Kayla

Wow.

hey guys check this out. i did a little stumbling.

http://www.usdesignstudio.co.uk/freerange.html

ellie, you should work for these people!

Earth Day

OK. FIrst of all, happy holidays and spring break. I hope you're all doing fine wherever you are. Also, good luck with Thespian and JCL, since I won't be seeing any of you at either. Too bad I can't go (for me at least, since I had wanted to go). However, my own spring break won't be miserable: I have a couple cello competitions on Saturday, but then on that same day I fly to England. And aside from the competitions and the flight to England, Saturday happens to be my birthday (it sucks to do competitions on your birthday)... and Earth Day!

Which brings me to what I'm gonna say about Earth Day. I just found out a few days ago that during this year's Earth Day (Saturday March 29/my birthday) there's going to be an Earth Hour (8pm), where major cities from around the world will stop using electricity, gas, etc.
The idea is that that whole city will turn black, and that even if it will only turn black for an hour, that hour will be symbolic in the change we humans (that's us, in case you didn't know) will need to fight global warming. So basically, these cities are going to 'switch off' for an hour.
Which cities? I don't know all of them, but some cities are definitely Brisbane, Copenhagen, Chicago, Melbourne, Tel Aviv, and Toronto.
Anyway, I thought it was a totally awesome idea, and I hope someone takes a photo from outerspace or whatever so I can see the 'blackout' in those cities. Maybe I'll see the 'blackout' on my plane trip to England.
Excuse my childish enthusiasm, but if Earth Hour works, I think it'll be pretty darn exciting (I don't need to be witty or cynical when if comes to the well being of our planet).
So since I thought it was cool, I decided to post this up on the blog for you all to see, whether you knew about this or not.

Have a great spring break, once again.
Juan-Salvador

Thespian People

When are we getting together? Wat time and date? I would like to know pretty early bcuz i might have something that i have to do. If you know, plz comment.

Thanks,

Shakespeare Quotes

Hey Evan it is Davis.

If the quotation is fewer than four lines,
1. Use quotation marks around it
2. Cite the act, scene and line number(s) in parentheses as below
3. Use a slash (/) to separate line.

Example:
"rebellious subjects, enemies to peace,/Profaners of this neighbor-stained-steel--" (I,i,81-2).

When citing the quote remember the Act is big roman numeral, the scene a small one and the lines written as 20-4 for instance.

If the quotation is four or more line:
1. Indent the entire quote
2. Single space or double space it
3. Do not put quotation marks around it
4. Double space both before and after the quote
5. Do not use slases
6. Cite the act, scene and line numbers in parentheses, after the end punctuation.

I hope this helps
Davis

Quote for yearbook

Hey everyone! This is Ellie. This post is only directed at Davis (sorry, but this is the smartest way to reach people for yearbook I guess, cause we're always using the blog). I need to know if "When you look at Reggie, what do you see?" can be used for your quote cause we need one more. Let me know ASAP (by commenting or something). If you don't like it, make up your own by tonight and put it as a comment or else the yearbook people will just come up with one for you.

Thanks
Peace and love,
ellie

Kristin Chenoweth

I know this is really really irrelevant to everything but... you HAVE to see this. Kristin Chenoweth who is in Pushing Daisies which will return next season, can really sing! Seriously! If you haven't heard Ms. Samson listen to "Taylor the Latte Boy" yet, you should, it's funny. But this video is REALLY amazing. She's a great performer! Ok im done with my rant, just watch the video!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBJn4BHtqqY&feature=related

SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL!

Guys, our musical is not just Seussical the Musical, but we got our parts!
YAY!

I'm so excited!

Don't forget, rehearsals start on Tuesday, from 3:15 to 5:00. Just letting you know!

I'm so excited!

Good luck everyone on your acceptance letters!

friday free dress theme

hey guys i think it would be fun if our friday free dress theme is like: workout gear. tell me what u think. i kno, i kno, its tre random, but fun at the same time. any other ideas if you don't likey??

hmm...

okay, so i don't think this is the proper use of the blog and i would probably yell at myself for posting this...but, if this is the homework blog, things to do during homework breaks are certainly needed!

So, take a break from the assassination notes and watch this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_xwl0ph67o

accident? i think not...the accent totally puts it over the top! hehe...

also, has anyone else realized how scary friday is???? we find out our parts in the play and acceptance letters are mailed!!!!!!! are we going to have a theme for free dress?

March 8th=Letters Day

Once you receive your letter and have decided where you are going...could you please post a comment saying where that will be.

THESP FEST ALERT

hey...

just a yearbook photo reminder -- during third period tomorrow, we're going to take a group thespian photo.

also, this is the time of year when the yearbook people start breathing down our necks to get the spreads in so the books can be printed -- so, please please please get your photos (baby and current) in for tomorrow, or i will be forced to unleash the evil yearbook wolves and let them eat you... :) thanks!

seriously, though... we keep them in mrs. samson's closet.

Senior Quotes, Most Likely Tos, Known Fors, and Bests...

Ok. this is what everyone needs:

jr- you chose "known for blaming others for no apparent reason," and although I'm not 100% sure most of us know that side of you I guess it's ok... but if you think of a better one, go ahead. you also need a "best"

michael- you ONLY need a "best"

rick- you need a most likely to.

zoey- you need a known for.

kayla- you need a quote, a best, and a most likely to

ellie- think of another quote if you can... you have "peace and love" which is acceptable but... you also need a known for

nick- you need a most likely to

Salvador- you need a known for, most likely to, and quote

Evan- you need a quote

Maddy- you need a quote, known for, most likely to. for some reason I recall having those done but they are not on the list so if I overlooked something, tell me!

Alexander- you need a quote (unless you want it to be "hey, you guys, where's Nick?" but a funnier one would be lovely). you also need a best, and I need to know whether you like "known for contorting his face into strange expressions."

Faliure to come up with any of these, we will result in the yearbook staff making them up for you which may not please you once you open the yearbook in June. Your response can be a comment under this post, or you can text or call me (310)3100121. Or tell me at school tomorrow... if you don't forget! Also, tell your parents that we need those baby pictures in and also a NICE recent photo of JUST you. Recent as in summer 2007 thru present date. The photos Zoey took of the girls DO NOT count as the one's your parents need to turn in. They are being used elsewhere in the Senior Pages. It would be nice if the baby pictures were on a CD, but if they're NOT then just turn them by THIS WEDNESDAY in as they are into Ms. Samson's box in the front office. We will scan them in. that's what your parents need to know. Alrighty well c u l8r everyone!

Surprise birthday party for Katt

Hey guys! you all remember Katt, right? I know you're all gonna say yes so i'm gonna say good. Kayla (if she want's to, i know we both thought this up together a few weeks ago) and I are going to throw here a surprise birthday part on either April 11th or 18th (whichever Katt is not busy). from 6-10:30. there will be cake and all. Tell me if you can, come cause i'd really like it if you can. we'll have a groovy time, we will. it'll be at my place. i was about to repeat the "there will be a cake" sentence. there will be decorations and if you're coming make sure you tell me. please.
peace and love,
ellie

AMAYZING MAYZIE (and gertrude)

the beginning of this is sooooo cuteee! I LOVE GERTRUDE HERE! omg its just adorable... i don't like mayzie that much but thats ok.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjTdJPqprIg&feature=related

watch it it's so adorable! I want Mr. Maynard to do the beginning of this song the way they do it here... sooo cute! the very end where her tail grows is also very funny and adorable!

We are the Seniors!

Ok. so. being a senior is great and it gets better once you figure out you best, most likely to, and known for! This of course, is for the senior pages. If you don't know what I'm referring to by Best, Most Likely To and Known for this is a brief explanation.

Best: not like best smile or best laugh. something that highlights a unique characteristic of yourself. like ellie could be- "best fog-horn" or t could be "best 'buddy'"

Most Likely To: This is pretty obvious. Don't make them too serious but make sure they are witty. wittiness is fun. And if you say "most likely to never think of a most likely to," that is a counterexample of wittiness. don't say that or else.

Known for: Can you mold a brief list of your interests into one sentence? Or what is something you do a lot that is either funny or you can phrase to make a funny statement? I apologize for my awkward sentences but you get the idea. It can be short and sweet, too. Just make sure it isn't boring. For example... hmmm... Michael- Known for being a cat.

Next... quotes! NOT a long philosophical quote someone else said like "they can because they think they can-cicero." no. something funny you've said in the past, or say a lot. example: salvador: "i crack myself up like a chipped teapot." he did say that on aim. or, following the latter suggestion, ella: rick, stop it! don't do it! NO STOP IT RICK!

Lastly. A general message you leave to the class. Nothing elaborate or too specific. But try to mean what you say. A weak example is: "I will miss each and every one of you! Don't forget me!" Make it better than that though. This part really shouldn't take more than 1 minute of thinking. Really. Not much brainpower needed.

Here's the deal. By friday during science you will have an strong idea of what you want and we will take 5 minutes out of the class to get them in order and have them written down and ready for the yearbook. So start thinking. If you need help thinking about it ask your friends what's most memorable about you or something like that. Because after all we DO want to remember YOU. well most of you. jk jk. Alrighty then. C u 2mrw!

-jackie

GIRLS!

Hey!

So, I am officially inviting all the senior girls to my house Saturday, March 1 -- Please meet at the Majestic Crest (see info below) for a 12:00 PM showing of "The Other Boleyn Girl". The film is PG-13 so everyone should be able to see it! Also, it is starring Scarlett Johansen, Natalie Portman, Eric Bana, Jim Sturgess (Jude from "Across the Universe") and Kristin Scott Thomas! I read the book a while ago and it still remains one of my favorites, so I am very excited to see this "sexy, good-looking political bodice-ripper with an almost flawless cast at the top of its game." Hehe. okay, enough about that....After the show we will somehow figure out how to get all of us back to my house for the photo shoot. By the end of the day, everyone will have a headshot they love! I am so determined. You will walk out with a new favorite picture of yourself even if we have to work aaaaall day long! I have some other fun things for us to do up my sleeve... ;) Anyways, my address is...

2261 Manning Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90064

Pickup can be anytime that is convenient for your parental units, however 8-8:30 should be the latest I think...

The movie theatre is...

The Majestic Crest
1262 Westwood Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90024

Please keep in mind that even though the show starts at noon, we have to buy tickets and make sure that everyone is sitting together, so please arrive a little bit beforehand!

Thank you all! and thanks to the boys for tolerating this long, girl-centric message on the blog!
I'm so excited! :)

Two Very Important Announcements

1. Friday is crazy hair day for the seniors. Go crazy with gel, pins, hairspray, ribbons, clips, get an absurd hairstyle or whatever. Just do something different.

2. Just a reminder for the girls about the Zoey Headshot House thing. I don't have the details because I'm not Zoey so you should ask her and then edit this post so that it has all the information. Or Zoey can do that herself.

By the way... for those of you who have been absent.... that would actually only be Nick but... as of today, it seems we're doing Seussical. Why do I come to such conclusion? Because that's all we've been singing and because Mr. Maynard has only positive comments to say about it. The only negatives he had was the harmonies are hard to get. And because the reason he hasn't yet told us what the musical is... is because he's waiting for the scripts from New York. We know he has the Music Man scripts, Lucky Stiff scripts, and How To Succeed scripts, plus a Seussical DVD... but no script! According to a certain faculty member who will remain unnamed on this blog, he is waiting for TWO scripts. He must be waiting for Guys and Dolls and Seussical and since we haven't sung anything from Guys and Dolls... you see where I'm going? Also, according to that same faculty member, the most considered is Seussical. Lastly, today afterschool a few other seniors and I were chatting with Brennan... and we said "guess what Brennan it seems we're going to do Seussical!" and he said "oh yeah! i saw the-" we cut him off at that point with a loud "WHAT DID YOU SEE?" At which point he said... "hehe. nothing." Yeah. Just thought you'd like to know. Most of us agree that we're doing Seussical anyway. Well have fun doing homework (especially mr. sewell's class). see you tomorrow!

oscar night

hi everyone! happy oscar night! in case you all didn't know, the oscars are on tonight at 5:30 on ABC. John Stewart is hosting (he sucked last time he did it, so i don't see why they brought him back). i hope your favorite films win. the nomination's are...

Best picture... Atonement, Juno, No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood, and Michael Clayton

Best actor in a leading role... Daniel Day Lewis for there will be blood (i think he'll win), Johnny Depp for sweeney todd, George Clooney for michael clayton, Tommy Lee Jones for in the valley of elah, and Viggo Mortensen for eastern promises

Best actress in a leading role... Cate Blanchett for elizabeth: the golden age, Julie Christie for Away from her, Marion Cotillard (I really hope she'll win, she really deserves it) for la vie en rose, Laura Linney for the savages, and Ellen Page for juno (she won the spirit award).

those are all the nominations i'm gonna post but you can see them all at www.oscar.com/. who do you think is gonna win and who do you want to win? i'm excited :-D

peace and love,

ellie

p.s. i'm bored out of my mind.

Character Roles

Ok. I think I know what the four female and 3 male leads or supporting roles will be... if we do How To Succeed, which I think we will. It took me a while to do this but I found out what all the character's voice ranges are... so that helps. Ok here we go.

Finch (lead)-Nick
Biggley (supporting)- Salvador (both biggley and salvador are bass/baritones)
Bud Frump (supporting, antagonist)-Alexander (baritone/tenor)

I'm not sure about the rest of the male roles because they are mostly baritones and we have more tenors than baritones. Ok now for the female roles.

Rosemary (lead)- Maddie (mezzo-lowerish... maddie IS soprano but she can sing low too)
Smitty (supporting)- Evan (Both Smitty and Ev are the lowest female roles or singers... so naturally...)
Hedy LaRue (supporting)- zoey/ella (intuitive)
Miss Jones (supporting)- T! (After all, both Miss Jones and T are sopranos)

Ok well i could be wrong but i think this is it! After all I AM psychic. Well actually I based it partially on last years rolls... it'll probably be pretty much the same i think, no matter what musical we do. We'll see... what do YOU guys think?

french hw

hi everyone! to all the french people: the project is due on thursday. there was probably confusion because all the other years have it due tomorrow.

here is our homework:

French 4 - unit test number 4 for tuesday 2/19/08. project due 2/22

French 3 - project due 2/22.

Have fun studying maddy and zoey.

Polls

Hello again. I know we all enjoy voting and seeing the poll results, and now we can create our own poll, too. Since "Moderator Nick" is in charge of the blog, we have to give him our ideas so he can post them! It'll be really fun.

Mirman Seniors myspace

I just googled mirman seniors and the first hit was the mirman seniors '06 (aka the katie-michael senior class) myspace page. It would be pretty cool to have a myspace or facebook for our class, maybe after we've left Mirman. I realize that Alexander has so thoughfully created a blog for this purpose, but on myspace we can also keep in touch with pictures. I definitely want to see what everyone looks like afterwards. Anyway, I'll see you guys at school tomorrow, and have fun watching the office or whatever you watch thursday nights (Ill be tuned into Smallville).

January

Ok. I know that writing on the blog on New Year's Day is one of the lamest things I can do on New Year's Day. So why am I doing it? I don't quite know. Well, actually, I sort of do. It's just that I've introduced the months November and December on the blog, so I thought, why not January? Now I can introduce not only a new month but a new year. 2008! So without further ado...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE BEEN ENJOYING THE BREAK!!!

I'm looking forward to a lot of things this year, least of all leaving Mirman, and most of all, leaving Mirman! I'm also looking forward to all the things I'll be doing at Mirman this year, especially the things I don't know I'm looking forward to yet. Of course, I'm pretty sure that I'm looking twice as forward to the things I don't know I'm looking forward to yet, outside of Mirman, than the things I'm thus looking half as forward to that I don't know I'm looking half as forward to yet, inside Mirman. I feel I can justify this claim because I really don't know anything about the things I don't know I'm looking forward to, outside or inside of Mirman, so I really am free to say whatever I want to say about the things I don't know I'm looking forward to, outside or inside of Mirman. This concept actually applies all the time, because the moment I know or experience something I didn't know I was looking forward to, it won't be something I don't know I'm looking forward to anymore, and so I won't need to comment on it as something I had been looking forward to twice or half as much as something else I had been looking forward to at a time that would then be irrelevent to that time I will be experiencing something I didn't know I was looking forward to.

This being said, I, therefore, am sincerely looking forward to seeing you all very soon (however much you may hate me for wasting so much time and blog space just for saying in such a ridiculously clumsy way that I am sincerely looking forward to seeing you all very soon).

Again, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

BYE!!!
