Love You All

Okay, for once I want to do a post that isn't all about me. I need to thank about a trillion people to bare with as I name them all.

First of all I thank those of you who actually read my blog. It means a lot to me that you guys, however few, take the time to read the life of some boring teenager who just happens to have a billion random obsessions. Love you all :)

Next I have to thank all my friends (which are probably the only real readers, but I don't care) for putting up with my conflicting personality and my need to put everthing into chaos when something gets a little too boring. I'm so sorry about all of that too. I'm working on it; mostly because of how much I love you all, especially because we travel so much just to get a little glimse of each other :) Thank you. :) Thank you, thank you, thank you.

My family is next. Though I already consider a lot of my friends 'family' (there's a lot of cross-overs here...), I'm thanking you all for helping my hone my gifts and work on my faults and giving me so much; including a bright future. I wouldn't have any of this without you guys. I'm so lucky. Thanks :)

Okay, I think I got this all out...One post not about me. Only I think I fit too much 'me' in there while thanking everyone. Oh well. We'll try again next month xD

Love you all very very much,
Cassandra Bloom

Oo Oo! Cassancra=typo I made and I like it very mucho! I may have to use that one instead ^.^

Also, I haven't read any Phantom of the Opera today. Or yesterday, for that matter. I should do that after I make breakfast...

Team Erik/Phantom all the way!!!!!!!

P.S For those of you enjoying my cheery tone I typed this up a while back before recent happenings so it's sorta fake to be posting it but still.

The Good News

So my family and I, since discovering my new obsession and learning that Las Vegas will no longer be showing The Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian in play format after September 2, 2012, that I may be able to go if I pay for most of the trip. It. Shall. Be. Brilliant. I am. So. Excited. And. So. Lucky. I cannot stress that enough. *squeals* Omg omg omg omg.

But I did not come on here to gush about this. *shakes self* Well, it was part of it but of course I have more.

Some of you are probably wondering how far my obsession extends in Phantom of the Opera. Well, here is a small list of things I have done in honor of my love for even just those four words, in order from the earliest things to latest:

  1. I have played a POTO song in band class on my Alto Saxophone. Greatest song ever. Well, Angel of Music may beat it actually. And all the originals on the soundtrack to the movie I can actually sing to.
  2. I begged my mother for the movie, and I got it. Love. It.
  3. I bought the book and will soon get a spin-off sequel. Haven't read more than 5% on the first, though. I'm too busy right now. (If you were wondering, yes, that is how busy I am. I am so busy I cannot even find the time to read my next favorite book. Should I be doing that now instead of posting? No, I can't, I'm doing school).
  4. I made a screen saver set for myself on my computer made from various hot snapshots from the Andrew Lloyd Webber version. LOVE it. And of course there are none of that brat Raoul. My favorite picture? At the bottom of this post :)
  5. I am getting front row tickets to one of the last three plays going on in Las Vegas for Phantom. And I'm paying for three, one for me and each of my parents. PAYING MYSELF. Talented, aren't I?
  6. I have now bought the soundtrack. It is amazing as well. Love each song.
Now, isn't that a lot? I'm obsessed. But it's a good thing. Good good head noise...


He just seems so gentle, and yet so strong here. And trust me, it was hard to pick a favorite.

The Greatest Movie in the Universe

My new obsession:





If you cannot tell what these are, they are pictures from Phantom of the Opera. Love Mr. Gerard Butler, there.

My favorite movie of all-time has officially changed from a number of random movies to Andrew Lloyd Webber's version of Phantom of the Opera, now known as The Greatest Movie in the Universe in my book, despite all the people who hate it in comparison to the play, but I haven't watched the play and therefor it's amazing. Though I do plan to watch the play in Las Vegas someday, along with Wicked.

In fact I loved it so much that I bought the e-book version and have already read a decent amount, and I also am planning a spin-off in modern-day time. It shall be epic.

My favorite character is Erik, also known as the Phantom. Raoul was prissy, and despite Erik's crazy rampages and killings, I felt so sorry for him. It was tragic that he had such a bad childhood when he was really so beautiful. I also disliked Christine Daae, even though she was quite beautiful herself. She seemed too emotionless in the movie. Though she definitely fit the part.

It also seemed like a nice spin-off of Beauty and the Beast. Similar, with the 'beast' with the scarred face, temper, and everyone hating him. Same beautiful, small character who falls in love with the beast. Only of course she had to choose her darn childhood sweetheart.

Also, my newest favorite show is Once Upon a Time on ABC. I love it. Definitely recommend it. In fact, I'm watching it on Hulu as I type this. Talented, aren't I? xD
