I wanna be a Starship Ranger.

Baby, you're not alone, cause you're here with me. And nothing's ever gonna bring us down cause nothing can keep me from loving you.

-Not Alone from A Very Potter Musical

--

It's been a while. College seems pretty difficult, but I can handle. There's been a lot of drama here and there and I mean a lot. I just don't want to be in the middle of it, even though I am, so I just keep my mouth shut. While not worrying about the shit going on, I'm stuck at Youtube. Obviously you guys know that I'm a huge potterhead. No doubt about that. So I wanted to check some parodies, and I remembered that Darren Criss was in one. I searched it up and it turned out to be a musical! You guys know that I'm a sucker for musicals! So this parody was perfect for me! And that was the begging of my Starkid addiction. 

I know what you're thinking. Why be a fan of Starkid just now? You're too late to be part of this fandom! But who could blame me?! I'm a late potterhead! And I just discovered my love for musical theatre this year! Forgive me. But a fan is a fan! 

As I started watching A Very Potter Musical, I was already laughing my butt off! I never thought a parody of the greatest thing would be this hilarious and not at all offending! The first song was 'Goin Back To Hogwarts' it was hella funny! Floo powder power, floo powder power, floo powder power! Snape (played by Joe Moses) is just the best! I could never stop laughing when he was there! Ron (played by Joey Richter) was totally awesome! (gettit?) When Professor Quirrell (played by Brian Rosenthal) suddenly came in the picture, I was surprised. The actor for Quirrell looked too young to be a professor at Hogwarts, but I didn't complain because Brian Rosenthal is just the cutest! Oh, and hey! I didn't get addicted with Team Starkid because of Brian! I got addicted because of their talent! All of them! They're just awesome! The lyrics, the story, the music, their voices! I love Quirrell x Voldemort! 

A week has past and I've already watched AVPM, AVPS and AVPSY. After I watched A Very Potter Senior Year, I felt empty. I needed more! I started to watch "The Potion Master's Corner". They are videos where Snape (not the actor, but the character) interviews the cast. The best PMC for me was prolly Joe Walker's. Snape was just so insulting! 

I liked Brian Rosenthal's episode as well. He was so adorable. He was about to cry. Well, I guess he was acting, but still! Just plain adorable!

It still wasn't enough, I wanted more! I went to their website and decided to watch Me and My Dick. It was the best! It wasn't a parody of anything, it was just their own musical. Yeah, it was for big starkids, it was hilarious! Dick (played by Joe Walker) was just amazing! He was the best dick ever! Though, Brian Rosenthal wasn't here, but I didn't mind. After I watched MAMD, I wanted to watch Apocalyptour because I saw the Brian was Joey's (the lead character in MAMD) heart! Originally AJ Holmes is the heart, but he became a cast of Young Frankenstein at that time, so he was too busy when they performed the Apocalyptour. Apocalyptour is a concert with their songs. I thought my knowledge of them wasn't enough to make me watch the Apocalyptour. So I decided to watch Starship. 

Starship is sorta like a Little Mermaid story. A bug, Bug, (played by Joey) wanted to become a Starship Ranger. But he's a bug! It was pretty awesome and funny. Even though Joey was a bug, he still had his signature blue headband! 

I just finished watching Starship yesterday. I started to watch the Apocalyptour this morning. I wanted to watch Holy Musical B@man, but I didn't know if I should. You see, i was never a DC fan, what if the make a joke and I can't even relate to it? But I promised myself, I would watch every video that Team Starkid made, so I will watch HMB, maybe after I watch Apocalyptour. 

I was out of breath when I watched the part where Brian was the heart. It was just so dreamy! Brian's perfect! 

I even searched more Brosenthal videos. I almost died when I watched him singing A Heart Full of Love from Les Mis. 

Well, this isn't everything I know. I know a lot. I just don't know how to express it in my blog. 

Anyway, I guarantee you that I do know my Starkids! :)) I just hope I'm not a poser. Well, I'm still learning anyway. It's not my fault that I'm pathetic. But who cares? I love Brosenthal, and I love Team Starkid!! <33

Tuesday.

It was time for school again.

We had our best Resto class! It was funny as hell because of Mhary. Yes, I was still a bit left out, but I couldn't stop laughing.

At the end of the day, I had to do my accounting homework. I thought it was a piece of cake, but then when I started, I was freaking out. I didn't know shit anymore. I vibered Mj if he knew how to do the homework.

He replied. He told me to Skype. But I don't have skype. So instead, we met by the gate of my village. He lead to a random restaurant. He just let me copy his homework. While doing so, we were talking. It was a funny conversation. God, I missed him so much. Apparently, he was feeling the same thing. He regretted not talking to me.
I told him everything that has happened. It was great!
He helped me with my homework, and I helped him with something else.

It was just an awesome day.

A week without a best friend.

"We've got each other's backs"

You all know that I have a dude best friend named Mj. When we were in our Senior year we would always tell each other that we will always have our backs. We kept on bragging that we will be in SFU together and shit. Unfortunately, we are not in the same block. He has new friends and I have mine.

When I came in during Tuesday, I wasn't looking forward to school. I wasn't looking my best. While at the car, I saw Mj getting off and coming in the campus. I was a bit thrilled that he was there. At least I have someone to talk to. When I entered the campus, I immediately went to my locker to change from flats to high heels. I walked in the corridor and saw Mj sitting alone. I knew he had a problem. I knew that he wasn't feeling okay. I went to him and asked him what's up. He just told me that everything's fine. Though I know that it wasn't. I was just standing there and watching him mope around. Clarence, a block mate of mine, suddenly came in and said hi to me. I wasn't gonna just stand and wait for Mj to talk, I knew he needed some time alone. So I went with Clarence, and just talked.

During assemblies, I usually sit with Mj. Since he's not from my block, I want to spend time with him. Clarence and I walked in the assembly room. Clarence sat with Cyrus (one of our blockmates) and I sat in a seat with an empty row. Mariko arrived and sat beside me. I saved a seat for Mj. Mhary and Den suddenly came and sat beside us. No one really knows that I kinda feel left out when I'm with them. Although, I feel happy with them because we have so much fun. Sometimes I just stay quiet and Den only seems to notice that I've not been myself. It's a half feeling for me. Anyway, I saw Mj coming with Jez (another block mate). I tried telling him that the seat was for him. He completely ignored me though.

I don't really remember what happens on the following days. I'm used to Mj not talking to me for the whole day. But for a whole week? He was starting to become a douchebag. He was always at the back of my head. I kept on thinking if I did something terribly wrong.

Then Friday came.

I got really sad when it was the end of the week and he was still ignoring me. I was having lunch with Den, Mariko, Mhary, Jez and Clarence. Suddenly, out of the blue, I cried.

Den knew what was going on. I couldn't speak, so she just told everyone instead. There was this big awkward silence. They kept telling me that it's his loss and shit. But I know deep inside that it's my loss as well. He was the person that I always went to when I needed someone. He was always there for me. Imagining him gone was just painful. He's my best friend.

When we got back, our next class was 'Culinary Techniques'. So we had to use the other kitchen for our class. Mj was kitchen staff for the Bistro that day. He looked as if he was enjoying his company with his block mates. It was obvious that he doesn't need me anymore. The problem is that I need him, badly. When it was our break, we got out of the kitchen through the other kitchen. When we got back, I was with Mhary. Den and Jez were still in the other kitchen. I just saw then from afar that they were talking to Mj. The next thing I know was Jez was beating him up. Mj wasn't that hurt, but I could feel his pain. I had no idea that Jez would be doing that.

When I got home, I told mum everything. She suggested to text Mj again and again. I didn't know if I could do it. I went to Des' house just for the heck of it. I helped Des with her math. I texted Mj.

It wasn't a pleasant conversation. However it all went well at the end. Apparently he was hurt when Jez gave him a head lock. I was still the one who said sorry at the end. I guess true friendships are tested with quarrels like this. Though I know we will definitely have each other's backs, I was still a bit upset because it didn't much affect him as much as it affected me. Oh well.
