07:53 am - Wicked Faire = Madness
So! I finally have the brains/a little time to hop up an entry about Wicked Faire/the shadowcast/that-thing-Maggie's-doing-shit-I-haven't-heard-from-her-in-like-ages.
( Cut for length and video awesomeness! )

10:35 am - GRAAAAVES!!
So, since my first class for today was canceled (SO GLAD I CAME IN EARLY FOR IT, A-HURH HURH), I figured that it's about time I blog about Repo! Road Tour 3! I followed the tour from Foxboro, MA, to Rutherford, NJ, to Greenbelt, MD, to Cincinnati, OH with three friends in one toyota matrix! Our official name? THC: Team Hot Cunts. Our name-brainstorming session was how I knew we were going to be a rockin' tour group.
( Planning! )
( Foxboro! )
( Rutherford! )
( Greenbelt! )
( Cincinnati! )
All in all, it was definitely something that I will never, EVER forget. I mean, I'm 21. This is the age I'm SUPPOSED to be doing crazy shit (groupie-ing a rock opera, muthafuckahs!). There are tons of pictures floating around (I may add some to this entry when I'm on my own computer), as well as youtube stuff. I'm still a little sleepy, but I'm slowly gaining energy back! I don't even know what to say, it was so fantastic that half of it doesn't even seem real anymore. Definitely, definitely so glad that I went.

01:40 am - OBAMAAAA!!!
Oh my God. So, I just got in from all the Broad Street madness that is going on in Center City. It was AWESOME NUTS. I think I screamed myself out of voice for at least like three days. I got out of work at midnight and just moseyed right onto the street and found myself among SHITLOADS of people (and friends!) just completely howling, and playing Obama's speech out of their completely-open cars.
And the awesome thing was, unlike the Phillies win, there was NO VIOLENCE. People were just running down the street with open hands for high-fives and hugs. I can't even count the number of total strangers that I jumped on, with both of us absolutely freaking out. The gayborhood was out (WAY out!), and at one point a ton of us just walked down Broad Street under rainbow flags and Obama signs screaming our brains out. Cars were flying by with their horns blaring and people hanging out of the windows and sunroofs going totally crazy.
When I got tired, I wandered along Walnut St. (yelling and high-fiving all the way) until I finally managed to get a cab, and the whole way home I hung out the window with my Obama Pride sign yelling at groups of crazy-excited Penn students.
In short, it was amazing. AMAZING.

09:59 am - Holidays, hurrah!
So, this is one of those end of school/Holiday posts!
First info:
I will be home from Dec. 16, 'til Jan. 5, then back in Philly for a week, return on Jan. 12th and stay 'til Jan. 19th. I am up for anything and everything during the times I'm home. Srsly. 814.404.6108. Call me! Any time! Adventures!!
Sidenote: I BUSTED MY ASS this semester and it paid off. 3.982, mothahfuckah. (One A-, heh.)
Secondly, question!
What is everyone looking for fo' Christmas? I'm not super in the money, but I like to draw (any pairings) and write (any pairings from a series I *know*), and I also bake some mean-ass cookies. Regular gifts are cool too, of course, if it's not like, "Maggie, buy me a Wii." (Sorry! I'm talking in the $5-$15 range, for I am po'! ;o;* ) So just drop me a line as to what you prefer :) I'm also totally up for funding some random event if you wanna' go to dinner or go bowling or skating or laser taggin' or...y'know, run around naked in a restricted area or whatever :)
Thirdly:
I am looking for a beta-er for a Bioshock fic. Don't laugh at me ;o;

09:56 pm - Ensemble Results
Yaaay, I made Jazz Singers! 2nd hardest vocal group to make it into (Eight singers, the hardest only has four o.o). I'm super-excited :D I was hoping to make either this or 'N Zehn, but I never thought I had even the slightest of chances. Yaaay!

04:56 pm - I swear that I'm alive!
So, after two months of everyday blogging, it was nice to take a rest. I'm not cut out for that kind of thing, I'm just not interesting every day! x.x Anyway, I'm back on this account now, with my "Yay Italy!" journal over at summerinlecce.livejournal.com, if anyone missed that (doubt it, lol.) So, yes. I'm still in central PA, but not for long. On Thursday I leave to visit my Grandma and then for Ocean City (MD version) for the weekend, followed by returning for Philly for HOLY SHIT JUNIOR YEAR.
Seriously, though? When did I become a junior in college? What's with *that*? I feel so old! Did you know we've been going to school for 15 years now, guys? AUGH. (Not counting preschool, if you went!) This'll be year 16! Oh God, I don't want to be a real adult person soon! x.x
I'm actually excited for school this year, though. (As opposed to last year, when I was absolutely dreading going back). New teacher (sad to leave Justin's studio!!), more interesting classes, closer with folks there than I was, everything's looking up decently. (Knock on wood!)
Dunno', I'm feeling super nostalgic, at the moment. Found the old "Best of Maggie" CD that Margaret made of all my highschool groups. Oh my God, some of these recordings are so old now! My voice sounds so different o.o (...Thank God for that, heh. Not paying for college for nothing!) Anyway, I realized that I barely talk to any highschool folks anymore, which feels weird. I mean, you guys, obviously. But there are so many people who I thought I'd be in contact with who I haven't said a word to in more than a year x.x Agh, it feels so far away now! Everybody is almost totally different, too. (Mostly in a good way, though!) Especially me, I feel. Still waiting for those golden years of college, though! Here's hoping that college junior/senior year are as good as the ones in highschool, waagh!

04:50 pm - I am teh neutralz!
Your Score: True Neutral 54% Good, 58% Chaotic 
Plane of Existence: The Outlands, "Plane of Concordant Opposition". Description: The plane between all other outer planes.
Examples of True Neutrals (Ethically Neutral, Morally Neutral)
Red XIII, "Nanaki" (FFVII)
Vincent Valentine (FFVII)
Cid Highwind (FFVII)
Mr. Spock
Linus Torvalds
Dr. Strangelove
Scott Evil
Batman
The Punisher
Switzerland
Canada
Not actively for or against anything. Has his or her own reasons for doing everything. Usually difficult to understand.
Will keep their word if in their best interest
May attack an unarmed foe
May use poison
May help those in need
May work with others
Indifferent to higher authority
Indifferent to organizations
True Neutral "Pure Neutral"
"Balancer"
Some neutral [people] commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They are of the true neutral alignment as described in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.
A true neutral [person] sees good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. He advocates the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run.
Some true neutral [people] actively support balance in the world, and seek to avoid having any one side, law or chaos, good or evil, become too powerful over them or anyone else, and will work against whichever side is the most powerful. They tend to side with the underdog in any situation, and are often opportunistic in their actions.
True neutral is committed to the avoidance of extremes, and is non-judgemental.
Side-Note from Xan81:
Due to your Neutrality, I would really, really LOVE your feedback. Not that I don't want feedback from members of the other alignments, but a True Neutral's feeback is typically NOT emotionally, morally, politically, or socially charged. Please send me an email! I have it set to automatically email me when someone gets this score, so I know who you are ;) True Neutrals are the classic, "I just don't give a shit" alignment, and I fully understand if you don't feel that you have any responsability or obligation to sending an email/comment. Even if you did, I'm sure you'd have some difficulty in deciding what to comment about. But, I guess that depends on your tendencies :D

11:26 am - @,@
Man, LJ's new look is so weird at first x.x* I hadn't been reading newsposts and didn't realize it was coming (hurhhh hurhhh!).
Anyway, things are going decently. I'm thinking of getting some sort of small, furry creature of my own, though. Maybe a rat or a bunny. I was on petfinder.com yesterday (helps you find local shelter petties :D) and they have the most ADORABLE little baby bunny right here in Philly. I just...it's weird, but I feel like I need something to give my love and attention to. Like, something that can be mine and receive all my affection. I realized yesterday that I don't hug people anymore. Well, I mean, I do sometimes and all. But like...now it's awkward occasionally, or I don't even think of doing it as much as I used to. And I'm such a high-contact person, too. And I think I could give said little bunny a very good, very loving home, and I think that it would make me feel a lot better as well. I'm going to e-mail the shelter later today to see if I can start anything up :D And the pet store isn't even a full block from my apartment, so...going there and getting the proper setup would be good. Moni said Josie (her dog) would probably be okay with a bunny as well, as she's had friends living with her with rabbits in the past, and Josie was a very good girl about it. So...hopefully positive news about adorable pet-creature on the horizon :D
There's not really a lot else to tell, save that I am getting much stronger from biking/dancing. Way more flexible, too. I can now grab both of my ankles and extend my legs out to the side, and do a near-full straddle again. Hooray! Moni said yesterday that I look like I'm losing weight, too. (Can't tell for sure, as we have no scale >.<***) So I'm hoping to get a little more fit from this year :D
Other than that...I dunno'. Life goes on!

06:38 pm - Ecks dot ecks
So, tomorrow means I've made it through two weeks. Only 13 to go! x.x
I feel like a whole lot of stuff just landed on me in a great big pile, and it kind of makes me not want to do any of it. Like, I don't even know where to start. Individually it's just tiny stuff (burn pictures for Dad, fill out absentee voter's notification, re-register for correct class sections (they sort us after registration), yadda yadda yadda) but all together it just makes me crazy. I did have a pretty nice weekend, though. I mean, I worked both nights, twice as computer lab monitor and on Saturday after that as a DJ (Moni needed one for a club she works at and the usual wasn't available.), so I got out of the house, which is good. Oh! And I went out with Moni to a blues jam last night and SCATTED IN PUBLIC. Heh heh. The *musical* sort of scatting, which has always kind of terrified me. But it went smoothly, and I didn't get scared onstage, which was really nice.
I dunno'. I kind of feel like I'm not open emotionally to this year yet. I guess I just feel like I lost a whole lot of my summer, so it doesn't feel like I've completed a full one yet. So I'm not attaching to my classes with quite the fervor I usually do. (Don't mistake me when I say this. I'm still doing all my work and getting good grades on everything we've done so far. I'm just not as deeply emotionally interested in them, for some reason.) It's kind of weird. I mean, I'm still working very, very hard on everything, especially my lessons, which I've been practicing for more and more. But I envisioned this year as being an improvement time for me, where I would suddenly make awesome friends with everybody. And to be honest, I *have* made better friends with a lot of people, and I think I've changed people's (incorrect) views on me from last year. And really, maybe it was just today, but I've kind of felt just a little closed off. Meh. I don't know.
But I realized something earlier today that made this whole thing kind of seem worthwhile. Even while today I felt a tinge lonely and closed, I was listening to music to help me out. And suddenly I realized, God, I really do love music. Even when I'm not thinking about music in theoretical, technical ways (which I love too), or playing or singing or even *thinking* about music, it's ALWAYS present for me. I listen to it between classes, on the way to school, while I do homework, all the time. And I honest to God love it. It almost feels like how much I love it makes me a better person (?). <--This makes sense in my head, excuse me if it's not the same typed out. Maybe a more complete or deeper, whole-er person is what I'm searching to say. I don't know. But this made me realize why I even came here, what I want to do. I really, really would love to perform and teach, and have music effect other people's lives in the same way it effects mine. I want to give that to kids. To give them a saving grace in their lives that some of them might not get or explore fully otherwise. And it makes me so much more confident that I can give myself passionately to something like that, to not worry whether or not what I'm doing is really what I want. So I guess in the end...hooray for music!

Okay folks, here are party plans:
Girly Party, tonight! We meet at the Allen Street Stage to see Lemonsoul at 6:00. After it's over, we come to my hizz-ouse and party hearty. Again, boys, let me mention that we are going to be girly. With girls. This is a vagina-y event! (I mean...you can come if you want, but...yeah, mostly a ladies night thing.)
Tomorrow:
6:00, my house, come over for severe Halo/Soul Caliber/WoW/Veeedeeoooogaaaames. Bring your X-box/extra tv if you have them (*cough* Cale/Billy Mills/Chris/etc. *cough* ). So, yeah. Come and bring your l337 s4uc3 with j00!! Open to everyone, of course.
Uhm...that's basically it. DO EEET!
