2) Lilli, Skylar, Brian, Remy, AND Phoebe's last night is coming up- OH MY GOD. I can't even fathom this and I can't be there to hold your hands while I sob. My roommate will have no idea why I'm crying into my pillow all night.
Seriously, though, I didn't realize how much I loved talking to you all constantly until I realized that I couldn't talk to you all constantly.

I'm taking a creative writing course in which my professor is James D'Agostino (sp?) and he may be the nicest, most brilliant man in the world. I've been here 2 days and he's already changed/improved my writing immeasurably. I will definitely give you all some of my stuff when I have time.
My roommate is a girl named Alison. She is young. She is annoying. She has a 'soothing' sound maker that makes several different noises all which help her go to sleep; forest, train, wind, rain, ocean, brook- TRUST ME THESE ARE NOT SOOTHING. THEY ARE THE EPITOME OF ALL THAT IS EVIL. I CAN'T SLEEP WITH THEM ON!
JBA is just now getting into full swing, so I'll be here more often with all of you (that didn't make sense- I mean that I'll be able to be by myself more often).
I miss sa_slash so much and all my HP people on skype. I swear that I'll try to be more present, but it's really hard.

How could you think that?
Have you so little faith that you think I would ditch 9 years of love for a musical that I've only been in love with since 2007?
This disappoints me you all. Let me explain something very clearly to you, so that you never feel like I'm ditching you HP-ers.
THE HARRY POTTER FANDOM IS MY FAMILY. That's all there is. Sometimes you piss me off. Sometimes I need to separate myself for a while. Sometimes all I need is to hug you until my arms hurt. But in the end it all comes back to you. The Harry Potter family gave me friends, for the first time who loved the same thing I did; it accepted me and helped me grow. You all listened to me through all of the shit that I've gone through within my ENTIRE life. Seriously you've been there through it all. How could I not love you until I die? Seriously I'm going to be sitting at my laptop on my deathbed hooked up to Skype.
On the other hand: Spring Awakening. You know I love all of you too. It's a more recent love, but it's intense. If Harry Potter is my family you guys are the girls who I can gossip with at lunch where something inevitably dirty will come up. I always feel like I might have a slightly higher ranking on the "Going to Hell" list when I'm done talking to you. You guys are too cool for me; seriously.
So there you have it. That's all there is. I'm sorry if I offended any SA people, because you guys are amazingly awesome too, but did you have to listen to me ramble for HOURS on end about stuff that's pissing me off? Did you have to sit through therapy sessions with me over the phone because I was supposed to bring my best friend? Without the Harry Potter fandom I would not be me. Without the Spring Awakening fandom I would possibly be a little more innocent, but pretty much the same person. (THAT'S THE SA FANDOM- NOT Spring Awakening)
Love to all my fandoms and friends,
Kassie

So as some of you may know I'm a transcript editor for the podcast- MuggleCast. Recently all of the transcribers and editors have been playing around with the idea of possibly recording a movie commentary for the Harry Potter movies. We asked Andrew about it to make sure we weren't stepping on any toes and he agreed and even said he would plug us on MuggleCast.
That's about as far as the plans got.
Until now.
Tonight Greyson Smith, Alexander Bourque, Colin Mueller, and I (Kassie King) are recording the first movie commentary. I'm pretty psyched. I'm watching it right now to refresh my memory and everyone's SO cute. I love Chris Columbus, I'm sad he's not there anymore.
I'll put a link up when we upload the commentary and then you cool kids can check it out.
EDIT: COMMENTARY FAILED. I AM SO ANGRY, I CAN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.- Location:my room

It took place on the Spring Awakening tour. I got to the Fox theatre and I had these incredibly crappy seats to the point where I could barely see the stage. Then the loudspeaker came on right before the show meaning that someone is unable to make the show and the u/s is playing the part. I got really scared that I wouldn't see BBash and of course the loudspeaker said that Blake was unable to perform that night. I was sitting in my seat and I started to cry and then the loudspeaker came back. It said that they had a 'special' replacement and I kind of perked up a bit.
Then in a truly slow dramatic way the loudspeaker said "The understudy will be Johhhhhnnnnnnnnnnnnn Gallagherrrrrrrrrr Jr!" while John was walking out. Then I really started to bawl insanely. John took the microphone and he said:
"There's someone special in the audience tonight that I think we owe a lot to. This person has been with the show from the beginning, but was never able to make it out to see it on Broadway. This person is... Kassie King," then a spotlight came up on me and I stared blankly at John not realizing what he said. "She's truly what we mean when we use the term 'dedicated fan'. Therefore we have a little treat for her. Kassie, can you please come down here?" he asked and I stood up numbly as my mom looked at me from her seat like I was an alien. I started walking towards the stage. "If it's alright with her mom, we've arranged to have Kassie sit this show front and center." There was the seat that John Gallagher set up for me and I sat in it and I started to like convulse with happiness. "But that's not all, being as Kassie's loved the show since the beginning we've decided to give her a feel of how it started. I am pleased to announce that tonight the entire Original Broadway Cast will be performing in their roles." Then I died. Not really, but I don't remember a better feeling ever. "Of course we've also heard a little something through the grapevine about you, Kassie- Matt Doyle is your favorite cast member? Well isn't that a shame- he's not part of the OBC. Ok, then I guess he'll just have to sit next to you." Then Matthew Fucking Finnin Doyle came from backstage and plopped into the seat right next to me. He said nice little nothings and I kind of stared at him like he was a God.
The show started with EVERYONE there: Lea, Jon, John, JBW, Gideon, Skylar, Brian, Lauren, Phoebe, Remy, and Lilli- not to mention all the ensemble like Gerard! From the beginning of the show to the end I sat there awestruck, totally and completely awestuck. I mean there I was watching all of Spring Awakening's original Broadway cast perform my favorite musical EVER, while Matt Doyle had his arm around my shoulder. As the show ended my mother came up to pick me up and Jonathon Groff asked her if they could take me out for the night... and she said YES?!
We went to this little coffee place and they all autographed the original Johnny Gallagher Moritz poster. Finally when the night was about over and I was still crying they all said they had a favor to ask. Once again John Gallagher was the one to speak:
"So, we have a little problem. The touring Ilse that was cast is now unable to finish the tour. It's a real big dillema and so we were wondering... since you already know the entire show... if you could fill in for her. We've already secured it with your mother and school. So all you have to do is say yes."
I stared at these amazing people with expectant faces on and I realized that I would be playing Ilse opposite Blake Bashoff. I said "YES, YES OF COURSE!"
Then I woke up.

Oh. Wow. Amazing. Night.
For all of you SA people reading this blog it'll make no sense you can close out now.
For all of you HP people reading this blog- I JUST HAD AN AWESOME TIME.
So I went to the St. Louis Remus Lupins/Gred and Forge concert, it was pretty awesome. I was working the HP Alliance Merch table and so I got to feel useful. You all have no idea how long I've been waiting to meet Alex, Tyler, and Jarrod- it was insane. Plus, Sam Friedman's on tour right now so I got to meet her too and that was fun.
There were a bunch of high-pitched fangirls there that were flipping lids, but they bought a bunch of stuff from the Alliance and we love everyone so I want to thank them too!
Seriously Awesome time. I'm putting some pics under the magic cut.
Most of all tonight just made me itch for Terminus.
I love you all SO MUCH!

It's come to my attention that many people searching the World Wide Web are under the assumption that I only like/listen to bare: a pop opera because Matt Doyle recorded the album and here I am putting a disclaimer on this rumor.
Okay, so I didn't google the term "bare posers", but I might as well have, because I've gotten at least three hate emails/comments on youtube that I wasn't a real bare fan because the only reason I liked it was Matt. This isn't true guys, if you know anything about me you know I'm not shallow. I want to be a theatre critic for God's sake, it's not like I can make judgments like that based off one actor.
I can understand the confusion, I did state that I started listening to bare because Matt recorded the album and that was true. I mean, I was aware of the fact that bare existed before Matt recorded as Peter, but I wasn't that interested because it was an off-broadway show that hadn't made an album and I'm not a huge fan of John Hill (sorry). But come on, you can't be as big a fan of Spring Awakening as I am and not take any chance you can to explore the cast's talent so I looked into the show; and I sort of fell in love.
I say sort of because there are still aspects of bare that I do not like, it's not a perfect show, and that's okay. A lot of it feels disconnected and sometimes it drags on a bit. Most of the characters aren't given time to fully develop or even find a place in the plot so all they're doing is adding harmony, which is fine. At some points the lyrics seem lackluster and off. I do not like the sections that take Shakespeare and put it up to musical interpretation at all, none of the actors who have played the roles (that I've seen) understand Shakespeare's characters, but of course it might be kind of hard playing a character who's playing an actor who's playing a 15th century Italian (but come on Arden and Doyle should be able to figure out that Mercutio is a humorous role!).
Now that I've called bare out on some of it's flaws can I explain why I still love the show?
It means something.
It's not stupid or shallow. It is smart and witty. Peter, Jason, Nadia, Ivy, and Matt are full characters with heart and individualism. The score is beautiful, Damon should be praised for that. When the lyrics are on, they are really ON, the good one's have such honesty and relateability. Did I mention how brilliant the Peter/Jason relationship is? One of my favorite ships EVER.
The thing is that anyone can take something from bare. Personally, I'm like a Nadia, Peter, Ivy mash-up. I take things from all of their stories.
So THERE! I don't dislike the show, in fact it's one of my favorites. And I don't like it just because of Matt Doyle, in fact he's not even a big part of why I like it any more. Just needed to vent, thanks.

Ever since I found out that Blake was on the tour cast for SA I've been having these random little spasms of excitement. It comes out looking more like epilepsy. But seriously... you all have NO idea how excited I am. I live in little, tiny suburban Missouri where there is virtually NOTHING in terms of good theatre. Every now and again the Broadway shows at the Fox Theatre blow my mind, but not incredibly often.
When I go to see Spring Awakening (in February- I know it's a while away) I'm going multiple times over the about two-week stretch it's there. I'm confirmed for at least four times. The really sad thing about all of this is that I'm taking my friends Amanda and Madelyn one night and I told them that we had to stage door the cast so that I could meet Blake Bashoff and first they said "Who's Blake Bashoff?" and then they said "What does it mean to stage door someone?" and the worst thing about that sad conversation is that they're both in theatre with me! I mean THIS is what it's like to live in Missouri. Those of you in New York or on the East Coast better feel damn lucky.
On another note, I just found out that I'm going to New York next June (yes an ENTIRE year away) for my Birthday! Spring Awakening will still be playing, right? Matt Doyle will still be there, right? Right? RIGHT? Please Matt hold on ONE MORE YEAR!
I love you all.
Any ideas what I should a) get Blake or b) make Blake sign.
When will the ENTIRE tour cast be announced, I need something else to flip out about for the next eight months. (Yes I know Kyle's going, but I just haven't gotten that excited about him yet.)

So you know those quizes on random fan forums that do nothing but waste time and energy? Well, I've fallen in love with them. I took a particularly interesting one as of recently and I decided I would post it on here. If you guys want to leave a comment with your answers or make your own blog that would be cool too. Half of this quiz is fandom based, but the other half are a bunch of weirdly random questions.
1) Favorite Movie
Benny and Joon
2) Favorite TV Show
America's Next Top Model or Grey's Anatomy
3) Favorite Broadway Show
Spring Awakening
4) Favorite Film Actor
James Marsden or Michael Cera
5)Favorite Film Actress
Helena Bonham Carter
6) Favorite Broadway Actor
John Gallagher Jr. or Matt Doyle
7) Favorite Broadway Actress
Idina Menzel
8) Favorite Male Character on Film
Bleeker (sp?) from Juno
9) Favorite Female Character on Film
Rory from Gilmore Girls
10) Favorite Male Character on Broadway
Moritz from Spring Awakening (Close second with Ernst also from Spring Awakening)
11) Favorite Female Character on Broadway
Elphaba from Wicked
12) Favorite Book
Harry Potter
13) Favorite Male Character in Any Book
Jacob Black from Twilight
14) Favorite Female Character in Any Book
Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter (introduced in OOTP)
15) Favorite Fandom to Participate In
Harry Potter (you guys are my family)
16) Favorite Fansite
I have to say MuggleNet, besides for the fact that I edit transcripts for their PodCast you must respect the amazing work that the entire Staff has created.
17) Favorite PodCast
MuggleCast (Duh x 100 Million)
18) If you could bring one character from any fandom to life, who would it be?
Moritz from Spring Awakening
19) If you could meet one actor/actress from any Movie/TV Show/Broadway show, who would it be?
One of the two best awkward actors EVER; Michael Cera or John Gallagher Jr, but probably John.
20) If you could play any role in a film what film would it be and what role?
I would like to play Alice Cullen in the upcoming film, Twilight.
21) If you could play any role in a Broadway production what show would it be and what role?
Easily, Ilse from Spring Awakening
22) The everlasting question persists; LA vs. NY
NY; Broadway, East Coast, Cold Weather, Cheesecake- what else could you ask for?
23) Film vs. Theatre
Theatre; the art is candid, never exactly the same. Every emotion felt is individual and every cast member has to be completely aware at all times- there are no do-overs or 'take-two'.
24) Film vs. Books
Books; it's a world you must create for yourself, your own imagination becomes a part of creating the story. No visual image is laid out for you, the characters can all be individual and different.
25) Theatre vs. Books
Tough, very tough, but I would have to say Theatre.
26) HP: H/Hr vs. R/Hr
God! How many times can this question be asked even POST-DH and harmony shippers still persist. It is Ron and Hermione, I support Ron and Hermione, I like them better, now shut up.
27) Twilight: Edward vs. Jacob
I am prepared to dodge all of the rotten fruit being thrown my way by Edward fan girls, but I must say Jacob. Maybe I'll make a post about why soon (*cough, cough*).
28) Spring Awakening: Melchior vs. Moritz
MORITZ, MORITZ, MORITZ! How can this even be a question- well I guess it is legitimate, most people I know like Melchior better, but Moritz and his awkward nervousness melts my heart. John Gallagher layered him so immensely as not only a pubesant frustrated teenager, but as a person with thoughts and feelings who I could truly relate to and feel sympathy for. I will make a post ranting about Moritz...
29) Comedy vs. Drama
I'm partial to the Drama, however I love comedy as well. That's kind of aparent when your two favorite Broadway shows are Spring Awakening and Avenue Q. I suppose I like a healthy mix, but an obvious and thought-provoking message. I don't like pointless drama (Rent) or pointless comedy (Superbad).
30) Child vs. Adult
I hate children, I truly do so obviously adult.
31) Acting vs. Backstage
Acting, although the backstage world taught me so much about theatre itself. Part of my passion derives from knowing everything that goes into a performance, it's not just a man standing on a stage, in fact an actor is more or less a prop that says lines. Techies and Crews are so incredibly important to every Theatrical experience.
32) Music vs. Lyrics
Lyrics are more important than how a song sounds to me, of course when you are Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater you can find a perfect balance. :)
33) Harry Potter vs. Twilight
Harry Potter, how can this even be asked?! I don't even feel the need to explain...
34) Spring Awakening vs. Harry Potter
Harry Potter, some of you might be surprised after how much I've ranted about Spring Awakening through the last post, but you have to understand Harry Potter is my HOME. It is where I belong and it is what I love most of all, for further details on this mental problem read the insanely long blog posted right before THIS one.
35) What is your worst fear?
Apart from the obvious (death of my family/friends) I would have to say never getting out of Missouri. I am terrified of rotting away in this small hick town like so many of my relatives before me. I couldn't handle it. I need to get out, to see something bigger and better, to BE something bigger and better.
Ok, that's done. Some of you might have noticed that certain questions pertained to only MY fandoms and that's because I substituted some of the original movie titles and such for things that mattered more to me. I hope you choose to do this too and I hope it gave you some more insight on the wonderful world of... me.

So I'm kind of in a detached mood so I hope I can seriously do this blog the justice it deserves.
I know that you guys do not yet know who I am, unless you are one of my friends, in which case you would know who I am (I'm doing that rambling thing again). However, as you start reading this blog and everything else you will find that one thing that I hold nearest and dearest to my heart continuously holds me together. That thing is Harry Potter.
As the most popular book series in the world right now I suppose you are not surprised I said that. I mean it's kind of like asking an 8 year old girl who her favorite singer is and her responding 'Hannah Montana' (the analogy was just supposed to state that many people enjoy Harry Potter). Yet, even though so many people love Harry Potter I believe that love is justified.
When I began reading Sorcerer's Stone it was back in 1999 and I was 6 years old. I was told to read the book by my mother who was an elementary school teacher at the time (she's now a principal). My mom had read the book and was indifferent, but I was a little advanced in the reading department for my age group so she gave me the book. I want to say that as soon as I received it I sucked it down in one day, but that wasn't the case. In fact it took me a week to get through the first chapter and I vividly remember thinking that my mother was insane for telling me to read Harry Potter. However, for some reason I kept going and somewhere in Chapter 5, Diagon Alley I fell in love.
I believe the reason that I still love the Harry Potter books as much as I do today lies in the reason of why I fell in love. Most novels that I read and love, I love because of the characters. Just as Edward Cullen is the reason everyone reads Twilight, most of my favorite novels are character driven. However, I didn't fall in love with Harry Potter because of a character. I mean I still loved the characters and I was interested in them, but the reason I kept turning pages was not for their sake. I fell in love with Harry Potter because I loved the world it created.
When Hagrid took Harry to his first steps on Diagon Alley and we, as readers were surrounded with the shops and bustling city streets of magic I felt so comfortable. Even as a six year old I captured a clear picture of that Alley in my head and it was so brilliant. When Harry walked into Hogwarts, I walked into Hogwarts and when he visited the Burrow I did as well. These places and the magical concepts that happened in them kept me reading. I was just so fascinated and hungry for more of this crazy amazement.
Then again, looking back on the series as a whole some characters so stick out in my head. My favorites were always The Marauders, Fred, Luna, Tonks, and for some reason Bellatrix. They were so shockingly vivid to me and real. I could hear them in my dreams. They are probably the reason I'm so weird now, I think I used to talk to these unreal personalities.
When Goblet of Fire was released in 2000, I was only 7 years old and while that was the year that the fandom began picking up I stayed resigned within the confines of my book. I received the book at midnight and I read it. I did not socialize, go online to forums, or go to a conference. I'm going to say that I really didn't pick up in the fandom until around 2004 when I turned 11. From the point that I came to terms with the fact that no owl was going to bring me a letter with green ink that would give me a ticket from the Midwest, I had to find some way to keep my love for Harry alive. I delved into the fandom.
At first it was just reading a few articles on MuggleNet. No one knew I existed and I didn't know anyone else existed. Then I accidentally clicked on something called a 'forum'. It was a bunch of people disgussing whether Emerson or Dylan Spartz were hotter. I didn't know who they were. I'm studious by nature so I did research and figured it out. Mr. Emerson Spartz had created the online haven I had found for Potter and Dylan did the layout.
Although, I thought it was a stupid argument to have I returned to the forums, I noticed that some of these people did not only know each other on these forums, but seemed to be best friends. They linked to their YouTube accounts, fanfiction profiles, and everything else. I sucked this all down so quickly and I began making friends. The fandom began to be a crutch. I leaned on it for support when I needed it and I still do today.
Through everything that I've had to put up with in the last few years Harry Potter carried me through. I owe so much of what I have to those novels and I cannot think of a way to thank Jo. She created my one constant stability, when everything else flipped, my books, my fandom would hold me right-side-up. For this I will always feel so fortunate. I don't know what I did as a little six year old girl to deserve anything as wonderful as what I've taken from the Harry Potter series, but it must have been pretty goddam good.

Well hello all LiveJournal-ers who've stumbled into my humble abode,
Take a seat (not on your computer) and get comfortable because you are about to learn a little bit about the girl known to friends, family, and fandom-nerds as Kassie King.
The thing is that she's a nice, quiet, conservative girl who enjoys her boyfriend named Jack and her horse named Buttercup.
God, I'm sorry guys, I use wayyyy too much sarcasm. The truth is that I am a teenage girl living in Eastern Missouri and I am pretty much the total opposite of the sentence posted above. I am a loud, opinionated, liberal who hates the name Jack and is allergic to horses. If I ever come off as cynical or bitchy, well then you know that I'm in a good mood.
Seeing as this post is merely introducing myself I will list my fandoms, but will not go in-depth. First though, let me make it very clear; I am not, never have been, and never will be a fangirl, instead I am a fan who happens to be a girl (if you understand the difference then you obviously spend as much time on youtube, forums, etc as I do). My fandoms are; Harry Potter, Twilight, and Spring Awakening.
The other half of my life (that isn't spent online) is my Drama Club. Thespian troupe 1917, where you will meet the most insane, weirdest, and best people in the world. We're also known for being kind of talented. I also compete in Speech and Debate if anyone else does, you know the NFL (National Forensics League- not National Football League).
In life I plan to be a Theatre Critic for a newspaper somewhere on the East Coast or in England. I will also publish a few plays that I have sitting on my desktop and write a novel or two. I guess until then I'll write fanfiction and act in some shows around the St. Louis area...
That's all for now, I will make posts about individual things shortly, like maybe as soon as I'm done writing this, shortly, but I wanted to write myself a little introduction nevertheless.
