Hello. I'm Emeline.
Being a nerd is pretty much my favourite hobby. I revel in the English language, I watch Brit sci-fi, I converse rather fluently in 'showtune,' and I still lament not receiving my Hogwarts letter.
I love airports, leather-bound books and tea. My tumblr consists of Doctor Who, books and lovely scenic pictures of places I do not live.
My goal in life is to know and to travel and to buy many fresh croissants.
Hank, I have a serious question: Why is being a nerd bad? Saying “I notice you’re a nerd” is like saying, “Hey, I notice you’d rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you’d rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan.” Why is that?

alightsorare asked: Okay, I don't know what just happened to my last window... So, if this is message number 2, I apologize. Show Me. That's fantastic. I just don't know if I have music for it. I might have to find that before my lesson tomorrow/see if Helena has it. I'm actually really excited. I'm not super familiar with Pippin so Kind of Woman isn't really one that I'd be comfortable with. I'm always skeptical of using Sondheim for auditions (even for Sondheim) but I was thinking about By The Sea too.
Ooh, By the Sea is a good idea as well! I know I have sheet music for Show Me… not that that really helps you much… Although if worse comes to worst and you’re in dire need of the music, it is at least in Pennsylvania and I’m sure we could arrange for my dad to get it to you.
“As we mark the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we must remember that this Supreme Court decision not only protects a woman’s health and reproductive freedom, but also affirms a broader principle: that government should not intrude on private family matters. I remain committed to protecting a woman’s right to choose and this fundamental constitutional right. While this is a sensitive and often divisive issue—no matter what our views, we must stay united in our determination to prevent unintended pregnancies, support pregnant woman and mothers, reduce the need for abortion, encourage healthy relationships, and promote adoption. And as we remember this historic anniversary, we must also continue our efforts to ensure that our daughters have the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams.”

alightsorare asked: So... Company... Marta or Amy? I have an audition and would like to have a direction for where I'm headed characterwise. I don't know. I don't think I'm an Amy... and I don't think my enunciation is good enough for (Not) Getting Married. So, that being said, what should I sing. Eek.
Ooh tough one… I mean, I think you could pull off Amy, but it’s all up to your preference. You definitely need something upbeat and wordy for both of them, given what Getting Married Today and Another Hundred People sound like… What about Show Me? Anything Goes? Or Kind of Woman, just since the humor of that song is similar to Company’s humor.
