i have an idea...

lets start blogging again!

haha. i am going to try my best to keep up a blog this year. only it will follow the trend of putting the new year in a new blog...same site but...you know, different 'set' or whatever ;-)

so this is pretty much just telling you that im making a "college life year 3" one :-) and i will post on that right after this!

one down...one to go (but not for a rather long time)

i have finished something that i wanted to do. and that a wrote that i really wanted to do in the last post....i have twilight!
not only have i read twilight, but i have read the two books following twilight in the "twilight saga" (new moon and eclipse)
at first i was just reading these books because i kept seeing and hearing so much hype about them, and i wanted to give them a chance and see what they were all about...
so i went to the library and checked out twilight (the first of four books)
i was warned by my friend jessica who checked it out to me, to NOT fall in love and become a crazy fanatic like so many people before me.
i told her not to worry, i was just reading them out of curiousity....
well, i ended up lying to her.
because i fell COMPLETELY IN LOVE with them.
i remember telling my friend andy frye that i was going to start reading it, and he seemed to think that was a good thing, he had read them and enjoyed them. and not but two and 1/2 chapters later i sent him a message telling him that i was already hooked!!
i could not get enough of this vampire love/action story. it kept me up at night wanting to keep reading and keep reading.
now i admit, it is definitely a book that girls would enjoy more, but its not just a love story, there is more to it than that. i mean, it involves vampires/humans/and eventually werewolves. how could it not.

it is now a week after starting twilight, and i have read all three of the four that are out.

the fourth comes out august 2nd.
its going to be a good day
i can NOT wait to finish the story of bella and edward!!!




.....while reading i found myself caught up in the story and emotion of all the characters...i might be too involved and attached to these books....

:-)

things i want to do

so as i sit here listening to the soundtrack of Aida and browsing through flair on facebook, while there is nothing to do at work in the box office, i find myself wanting to do two things very badly.

1. see Aida!!! what an amazing musical...and to think what my opinion would be of it after actually seeing it myself

2. read the Twilight books. there are so many flair pieces about these books, and i am very intrigued.

just doing what i do

soo katie, the previous stage manager for ssdt, had to get a full time job and be all grown up and whatnot, and doing both her full time job and stage managing was just getting to be to much. soooo she told steve she couldnt do it anymore. well, SOMEONE has to be the stage manager..apparently...even though last year was their first year to have one...besides the point...so katie and adam were apparently talking to steve and they suggested me. so i am now the new stage manager for SSDT (steve said he could trust me :) aww)...along with house manager and props mistress...haha
oh man.
so much time working...

im glad i enjoy the theatre world

its what i do

"And the beat goes on...and the beat goes on"

so when i was thinking of a title that song randomly popped into my head...odd because i havent listened to that song in FOREVER! i like it though...good song

anways

soooo lets see. last post was during piper tour. it was GREAT! hot! but great. we had alot of great shows and met alot of great kids and families.

after piper tour started life in searcy arkansas. so far it has been pretty good. working from 1-5 in the college of nursing (which is the job i had during the school year too). and i am also working for SSDT (searcy summer dinner theatre) as the house manager and the props mistress. i actually just became the full time props person since katie (the stage manager) got a full time job during the day but she has still been helping out quite a bit, which i am very thankful for.

me and amber were SUPPOSED to move into an apartment this summer, but those plans fell through. sooooo we are stuck living at amber's house for the rest of the summer (for now). which isnt bad. i dont mind living at ambers house at all except that it is 20 mins out of town and we dont have alot of room. her room is tiny! and since we thought we were going to be living in an apartment we havent really unpacked much of anything. so now we are going to try and figure out how to set up her room/closet so we have as much space as possible once we actually unpack our clothes and other stuff.....that will be fun....haha

hmm...and now i am watching a news story about how speedo has created a suit that is technilogically designed to help the swimmer be faster...apparently some people dont like that too much because it is an unfair advantage...hmm...possibly a pretty big issue since the summer olympics are...THIS summer!!! woohoo

AMBER BROUGHT HOME BABY!!!!!!!!!!!.........not hers ofcourse but piper keith's baby andrew!
he is just the cutest thing, i love him!

well....i have to head to rehearsal in about 30 mins...so im done

family bible time

sooo, we are staying with a family tonight and tomorrow night on piper tour and we just got done having bible time with them and their two little kids. it was the most precious thing ever! we sang a few songs and then the mom told us the story of noah from the family bible, and then the dad prayed and then they went to bed. it was so cute. i liked it alot! i can only hope that when i have a family we can have family bible time. that would be great.
also, at another house we stayed at the parents made it a point to put the kids to bed together (instead of one parent always doing it). i thought that was cute too. i would like to put my kids to bed with my husband. cute cute cute.

on a similar but different note:
piper tour is over tomorrow!! tomorrow is our last day of shows and then wednesday we drive back to searcy!! yay! it has been a great and wonderful and fun tour, but i am very much ready to be done and be back at "home."

thats all for now. bye byes

the start of a great summer

we are on PIPER TOUR in TEXAS!! its great. we are here for a week and 1/2 and this was our 3rd (2 1/2) day. we went to the rangers game tonight, and the texas rangers won baby!!! it was lots of fun! we have also had some really great shows and i can not wait for the things we have lined up for us to do. its starting out to be a great tour.

however, i am very much looking forward to the rest of my summer to start. quite a few friends are staying over the summer too and so i think it will end up being lots of fun with lots of fun hanging out.

i am also in a state of confusion at the moment. about a boy, what else....just wondering how at some times this person can act one way and give off one set of "signals", and then at the next moment give off a completely different set.....arg. consistency would be nice

short and sweet tonight :-)

Finals Week!!

it is finals week! finally!....haha, finals finally.
anyway, i am very much ready for summer.
so far i have two finals out of the way. one was an actual test, and that was for christian home. i think i did really well on it. it was easy. the other "final" was for design and we just had to turn in our final set design models. mine actually turned out fairly well. i liked it, i thought i did a pretty good job, this being my first model set to make. and i think Lynn liked it too because he gave me a 98. w00t w00t!
now tonight i just have to get through writing two papers for contemporary drama and study for that test (which is tomorrow). and then i am free until my two final finals on thursday

which is my BIRTHDAY!!!

20! yay

dead then finals

we only have one more real week of school left then finals week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am so completely ready for school to be OVER with and for SUMMER to begin.....

such a long semester, glad its near its end. well, there will be sad things about the school year ending, but for the most part, i am welcoming summer with wide open arms

the only thing about end of the year is that projects and papers are due and have to get done. so there will be lots of horrid paper writing and horrid project making being done this week.

such is life

singing...

singing in front of people is one of the most horrifying experiences of my life!


....


yeah

the end

remember when...

remember when that internet at harding was being stupid and everything was slow and things werent working half the time...yeah that was annoying

other than that...

remember when you wanted something you couldnt have? something that was close enough to touch, but there was a sign up saying you couldnt?

remember when you opened your fridge and it smelled like chinese food, and you realize that very soon that should be thrown away? that just happened like, 5 seconds ago.

remember when something finally hit you weeks after its actual occurrence?

remember when spell check was giving you crazy words as possible solutions to your misspelled word?

remember when you had a fun dinner with someone, and wondered if you would get a chance for another?

remember when you had a really good weekend?

i do.

so this weekend was just like that. it was a good long weekend. not necessarily the most productive school work wise, but the best weekends never are. although, i got enough school work done.

this has seemed like quite a long semester. i am getting ready for it to be over. it has been a good semester i suppose. lots has happened. lots has not happened. but i am ready for classes to be OVER! i am ready for summer to START!

on a lighter colorful note

so that last post was apparently kinda intense....heehee

ehh. sometimes i cant help exploding whats on my mind, but its all over now and things are cleared up where they werent clear before and so thats good

right now we are on piper tour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and i just LOVE PIPER TOUR!
i have been looking forward to this tour for a long time now. pretty sure the week before the musical (show week) i reminded myself every day that not too long from then i would be in oklahoma with the pipers having a great time playing with each other and with kids.

and that is what we have done!!

and it has been great!!!
we have had soooooo much fun!

i could sit here and write about all the great times we have had, but there just arent ways to fully express how it feels to play for kids and be with this extended family of mine, and just be surrounded by so much love and support and joy :-)

love to all of you who i call friends, i adore you all and i am soo soo very blessed

The woes of romance…my opinions on crappy situations lately

Tonight has been interesting…and has been one of those nights where you just kinda wish the whole romance thing in life was settled and figured out so you could just be happy and in love and that be the end of it!

Who decided that other people had the right to tell you that you weren’t allowed to like the person you liked? Or weren’t allowed to be with someone if you wanted to be with them? Especially if they had mutual feelings?? (I mean, unless they were doing it for genuine concern for your physical safety and well being I suppose).

I don’t think it is fair for someone to take someone else’s happiness away from him or her. No matter how many times they say that it will be ok and they will just get over it. Especially when you know it won’t be ok; and when you can tell that they are hurt by this sudden decision of yours! I think you should also know your friends well enough to know when certain things will and will NOT affect other parts of their lives no matter what happens!

If you like someone then like them! Especially if you know that they are returning the same feelings. Especially when they are making you happy. Happy about them, happy about life, just plain happy. Certain things are rare, and finding someone who immediately clicks with you and gives you joy is one of those rare things that you should hold on to and not throw away because of other people’s opinion on the matter. No matter who the other person is. People have their right to try and find that joy.

Also, who decided that it was ok for someone to string you along and place you in the middle of crappy situations that you wish would just be figured out and settled already?

If you like someone then like them and drop other stuff that might be there with other people! If you aren’t sure of the feelings you have for that person then take a long hard look at what you have and be completely honest with yourself on whether its what you really want or not. However, do NOT put someone else in the middle of all of it and make him or her feel horrible for being this “stumbling block” that has you confused. Love is not an ultimatum!! Just because you break a relationship off with one person doesn’t mean that other person is going to be right there and willing to be everything that you wanted and more. And it also shouldn’t be the reason you break something off in the first place!! You don’t break up with someone you supposedly love because you think that someone else might be better! That’s not even why you THINK about breaking up with someone! It doesn’t have anything to do with anyone else, either you love someone and think that you want to spend the rest of your life with them (if your even at the point of thinking that), or there is just something that keeps you from being fully committed to them. That’s it, no other reason!

ARG!

And there was other stuff that I was going to rant about, but then the Nanny came on and I got distracted and I just gave up on trying to exert it all out on this blog.

Sometimes people are put into crappy situations that they shouldn’t be put into and its not necessarily fair they are put into them sometimes.

That’s it

Sorry if you actually read all of this

bed time, goodnight

late nights with drugs

and just to be clear, i mean drugs as in medication, not drugs as in illegal substances.

yeah. first let me preface this by saying that im not very good at reading people all the time. especially males. unless they are very straight forward people. but how many people are actually like that.

second i just want to say that late night text messaging conversations with someone that is taking sleeping medication is quite interesting. after this conversation im not sure what to think

except that i dislike it when i dont know what is going on or when things are unfinished. like when someone starts a sentence and doesnt finish it. or starts a thought and then forgets where they were going with it...and like in THIS case tonight, i dislike it when someone tells you they were talking about you earlier and proceeds to keep the other person involved a secret as well as what was said about you (although, this person did say that it was good things that were mentioned...i guess that counts for something).

yeah, just something that has always bugged me

thats really all i wanted to post about

life is....life

cant wait for the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! friday is a party for the tech of spring sing, and then saturday i get to SLEEP IN!!!!!! and i will probably do laundry and homework. and then sunday i have APO inductions (theatre club). and after inductions we are going to the park to go play i think. awesomeness!!

yay for almost weekend and great weather to enjoy it in :-)

hmm, that last blog got more comments than expected...but i also realized that more people than i knew had blogs....well, two of them just made their blogs...but thats besides the point.

little shop has been showing this weekend. we have had 5 shows and one more tomorrow. the shows have been going AMAZING!! we have had some problems and mess ups as all shows do, but nothing too incredibly big. first show electricity to half our lights went out because of a circuiting problem, so we had to run most of the show with the big flourecent lights on...that was kinda awkward and not so good. but eh, i guess things happen. first show. and even then it was good.

tomorrow is our last show

that makes me very sad. because although this past week and weekend LSOH has eaten my LIFE! i have had a lot of fun doing it and being a part of this production has truly been a blessing. so i will miss it terribly. i've made new friends and gotten closer with people i already knew. and now we will have to separate and go about our separate lives. which is always sad. maybe some friendships will remain and grow. for this i am hopeful and i pray for.

the end

costume shop gossip

today has been a roller coaster ride of attitudes for me. but overall i would say not a horrible day. A big thing was brought to my attention today through various instances.

People arent always who you think they are or who they portray themselves to be. i found out today that people can be one person when they are with some people and a completely different person around someone else. or they change depending on the people/personalities around them. and i dont mean just having a naturally rounded character...i mean being someone different.
how you can think someone is the sweetest person, and then find out that they too can disappoint you. how you could know someone for quite awhile and think you know them pretty well, and then find out later that the person who you thought you knew wasnt who that person really was at all, and everything about them seemed to be different. how people can so easily lead other people on. sometimes without realizing, but then again, sometimes knowingly do so. how someone can have really fun, sweet moments and then right after be insulting and rude.

however, some people can give you pleasant surprises. they can do something that you would never expect from them (something good).

earlier in the day when i was thinking about this humanistic trait, i was only seeing the negatives, but someone did something later tonight that was a pleasant character surprise. which reinforced that people arent always what you think, but thats not always a bad thing, good things could come of it too.

i know i am guilty of portraying different people/personalities at times, as are most people im sure. something i will from now on be more conscious of. and if for the people i've led on or hurt by not being truly me all the time, i ask forgiveness. i will do my best to be more true to myself and try harder to be more true to what God wants me to be



and if any of that didnt make since, then i blame the fact that is 5:20 am. and i need sleep. w00h00 for late nights in the theatre and trying to write blogs when you get back from them

little shop of death

....or horrors. either word works great.

its next weekend....

meaning now = late nights in the ulrey

i hate my life

not really, just the fact that your body needs sleep and harding is always late on putting up tech for shows...

under the sea

the last saturday of spring break (while i was at SETC in tennessee) part of our group decided we wanted to go to the aquarium. so that is just what we did. i LOVE the aquarium. i remember the first time i went, to the one in dallas, and just loved it! they had so much more there than just aquatic life, and it was just a really neat place. so i have always loved them. this trip was no exception. i to pet a sturgeon and a stingray. i got to see alot of different kinds of sea horses. there were way cool jelly fish. and my favorite part of the trip was the very last "exhibit" you went through. they had a big tank full of different kinds of fish and "ocean scenery" and the last room you went through before leaving was an area that was at the bottom and underneath this big habitat. the walls of it were rock-esk, like you were walking around in an underwater cave, and then around and even over you, you could watch the fish, etc swimming about and doing their own thing. there was soft music playing that "enhanced the viewing experience" and it was probably one of the most relaxing places i've ever been. it was wonderful. i could have sat in that area for ever and just watched and listened and be amazed at the wonder of god. the aquarium was full of creatures god made and we were paying good money to look at them. probably my two favorite things to see on this particular trip to the aquarium were the jellyfish and the poisonous frogs. the poisonous frogs just because they were so pretty, and their skin was such that it looked like it had been painted onto them. the design and color vibrancy was just amazing. the jellyfish because, being a student of anatomy and physiology, i find how the body functions and works together interesting. when looking at the jellyfish i was in awe and wonderment of the anatomical and physiological systems of the jellyfish. i mean, most living things have a brain that we think of as being very similar (besides size and ability) to our own. jellyfish however are translucent, and i didnt see anything that i would recognize as being a brain or a central "control center". and then just thinking and wondering about how that creatures systems worked i was reminded of the majesty of god and how every little mechanism in a living creature works so specifically and precisely, and i just cant understand how some people can think that all of these interactions could have come together by a "big bang" or some other explanation that leaves out a divine creator.


now, as for the rest of break and SETC (south eastern theatre conference)...it was great. i had such a fun time with everyone that went on the trip and all of the things we got to experience. most everynight we would have a "debriefing" time and bring focus and everything back to god. we would share different encounters or observations of other world views from people/companies that we would possibly(most likely) come in contact with in the "real world" and how to deal with those things as christians and professionals in the theatrical world. it was nice. friday night we met up with some people from Freed and had a devo with them which was very enjoyable.

so overall i had a very nice spring break and i hope everyone else enjoyed theirs too

going away for spring break is over rated

so, i decided to stay in searcy for spring break, and i have actually had alot of fun so far. well, thats not completely true, wednesday morning i am leaving for SETC (theater conference), so only half of my spring break is going to be in searcy, but still.
why stay in searcy you might ask. well, here are the reasons, plain and simple. at first i was going to go home and just come back tuesday so i could be here wednesday morning for setc. but then i decided that it would be very helpful for me to help work on little shop tech stuff monday and tuesday. so i was then going to go home for the weekend and come back to help monday and tuesday. THEN i was told that the Stockstills needed someone to house/dog sit for them while they were gone from sunday-wednesday AND i decided that i would do that instead. and so instead of driving home friday and then driving back saturday night or sunday morning, i would just stay here the whole time. save gas. so that is what i did.
saturday was a great day. i woke up at 10 and got all of my stuff i needed for the week packed up and moved out of the dorm. then me, mary and kris went to breakfast at sonic. then we came back to pick up amber and josh and were going to take josh to the air port in little rock. well, josh's flight didnt leave until 4:15, so we had some time to kill before we left, so we went to the park to pla since it was an absolutely gorgeous day outside! and we were there for an hour or a little more, then we started off on our road trip to little rock. mary played DJ and we jammed out the whole way. muchos fun. when we dropped josh off, kris brought up the fact that we could go visit the sullivans since they lived in little rock and we didnt want to go home yet. so i text adam and asked what he was doing and if it would be ok if we dropped by. and it was indeed ok. so we went there and watched "hot fuzz" and then some really funny brittish tv show (during both of these all three of us girls fell asleep at least once) and then it was night time and i had to go by the stockstills house still to get the details on the dogs "schedule" and whatnot, so we left and did that. then we ate at the brick oven (which was slow, but great) and then went to our separate ways home. it was what most saturday should always be like!
sunday was a pretty lazy day. i moved all my stuff into the stockstills and the four of us (mary, amber, kris, and i) made spaghetti for dinner and watched a movie.
then today i spent most of my time in the theatre shop. which was a blast as always...ok, maybe not a blast...but it wasnt so bad. ambers mom grilled us up some hotdogs and hamburgers for dinner. besides working in the shop the day was again spent with "the four" and it was much fun.

im pretty excited for tomorrow night. me, mary, and josh strickland are going to see "anything goes" at the community theatre. we arent expecting much, but we all have friends in it, so we are going. and, i think it will be entertaining at any rate.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

just thinking about that word makes you happy...

happy is good
god is good
god is who i should be praising and thanking my days for, no matter how the day goes
because god will provide
he has his own way, and he has his own time
but god is good

i just have to keep reminding myself of that

alksdjvakjsvja

thats about how i feel right now.
my emotions are slightly bi-polar actually.
I was cast as Tillie in the show "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds" which i am super excited about because i LOVE that play! i was in it in high school (only i was ruth). its a good show/script. so thats exciting and im happy about that.
And also, Little Shop is going well. the cast is amazing and just gets better and better. and we are starting to get the set built and ready to be used, so that is really really nice (we have a LONG way to go on set, but we will get there).
Then there is the bi-polar part....like psychoanalyzing guys.....haha i dont really know if thats the correct way to put it, but i used it the other day and liked it. and its not really even that. it really has nothing to do with the guys (well it does but...). just me being interested in things that i shouldnt be and that wont ever happen.
And how all of these projects and tests are creeping up on me. like how i should be studying for A&P right now but i am definitely not doing that....and BLAH!!!

and i cant believe spring break is in TWO weeks! thats CRAZY!
it will be finals time before you know it....and i dont like that. not one bit.
i know some seniors that are graduating and that i will miss very very much :-( *tear

getting off time xo

suddenly seymour

so. tonight was an interesting rehearsal...
jodi, the character of Audrey, was sick in bed tonight and was unable to attend rehearsal. well, lynn came tonight to see blocking and just look at rehearsal and stuff since he is the technical designer and lights and all that fun stuff. anyway, so he had to see blocking, and audrey is kinda a big part, so lucky stage manager me got to play her part for her!! oh man. embarrassing. the saying the lines and going to the right spot part was fine. i can handle that. because i have seen these scenes a million times and i write down all the blocking. so thats fine. in case you didnt know however, Little Shop is a MUSICAL! soooo yeah. i had to sing her parts as well. well, i guess i didnt HAVE to...but she has solos and stuff, and i didnt want to talk the whole thing....so i did that. and that was the embarrassing part. and i mean, i was complimented afterward, and they said it wasnt that bad and they were impressed, but still. you know how people just say things. especially with the self doubt you can have sometimes. and the fact that the songs sounded worse than i can normally sing them because i was just a lot nervous about everyone watching me do this (especially since jodi is amazing).

so yeah. fun stuff that is.

doesnt help i have major talent crush on seymour, who i played opposite of the whole time. but i mean, if anything, him singing suddenly seymour to me, was almost worth it. (besides the whole sounding like an idiot part)

;-)

oh what a day

happy love day

sooo...it is officially valentines day. an hour and 30 min into it to be exact. and i just got through watching "sleepless in seattle" for my contemporary drama class. how appropriate to watch that movie on valentines day, since they meet on valentines day. and its about love. and it just makes you want to cry and be so happy for them. because they were "meant to be" and they found each other....and to think that the lady he saw in the airport and on the road, that he just couldnt take his eyes off of, was the very same lady that won his sons heart, with just a letter....

how hollywood and ridiculous is that? but still, sappy and lovely all the same.

makes your heart yern for that perfect someone. the one that is "meant to be"

....im slightly pathetic....but its fine

for all of you with special someones, go out and enjoy the day with your loved one (or the weekend).

....as for me, my special vday plans consist of class, piper practice, and little shop rehearsal.....without a special loved one.....how lucky am i

they escape me

hmmm...there are so many things/ideas/thoughts that pop into my head throughout the day where i say to myself "i should write about that on my blog." but alas i never do. either they escape me, or i just dont have the time...

sad

things to look forward to...

i love my roommate and i love that she has found someone who is amazing for her! this march will be her and her boyfriends one year anniversary and one of the things she is making for him is a list of "365 ways i love you," and she just let me read what she had so far (265) and it is the cutest list ever!! some of the things on the list are pretty generic, but alot of them are very specific things that they have between them. little inside jokes, or memories, or things they like to do. its just really cute. i couldnt help but "aww"ing at a majority of the numbers on the list. she likes him so much and i know he feels the same for her. i remember last year when she told me about meeting him about them being cautions about starting a long distance relationship, and how they prayed together about it, and just hearing about it grow into the relationship they have now. i remember her reading me a list of 10 things she wants in a guy and realizing that he met 9/10 of those things (or some high percentage like that).

anyway, while i was reading her list, between all of the "aww's", i saw all of the stuff i have to look forward to. not every single one of those specifically (because like i said, alot were specific to them tw0), but those similar inside jokes, those similar 1st time experiences, those similar times together and things in common. and looking forward to them i am! i think that while being single i have grown alot and learned more about myself, which important. and maybe god has more growing and learning for me to do, so i will try to be patient, but when my time of waiting is over...i will be ready and looking forward to all of the love that is waiting to be given and received.

xoxo

joyful weekends

although this weekend wasnt very productive homework wise, it ended up being a pretty nice weekend.

Friday:
thursday was my roommates birthday so friday noelani, chelsea, austin, leah, and i went to coltons for dinner and then went to see "Graceland" and the "Lottery" in the ulrey. both shows went well. the lotter was very good (depressing but good)! hey, if a show can make you cry twice in 15 mins, thumbs up by me. so yeah, after the meets and greets, i went back to the dorm and us girls watch a "happy movie" called "she's the man" (haha) and raised our spirits back up to joyful. well, my joyful mood was soon shot back down to unhappy after reading an email from an exboyfriend....not an upset mood, but just blahed mood. hard to explain. anyway...

Saturday:
my roommate 'made' me finally get up out of bed at 1-ish and we went to eat lunch. i had a hamburger from the student center, which although was very tasty, was a very very messy as well! then me and leah went to walmart! yay for walmart! we ended up staying at walmart for a long time. especially since we really didnt get that much. but we spent a lot of time reading valentines day cards :-) fun stuff. shortly after our walmart trip i had to run the box office for the plays, so i went and did that. and i ended up running it with aaron tucker, who i had met previously, but hadnt spent any time with before, and what do you know, we were stuck in the same small room together for an hour or more....it was fun. he seems like a cool guy, i would like to become friends with him.
then after box office duties i went to hang out with lucas matthews, yay!! lucas always makes my day brighter. we went to the underground and talked some and played two games of yahtzee. haha, which was alot of fun! i remember playing that game with my grandma all the time when she babysat us over the summers. then we drove around trying to find a shell station, which we failed at, and then looked at stars for awhile...that didnt last long either...clouds and cold dont go well with star gazing...oh well

Sunday:
didnt wake up in time for church :-\ but after waking up i finally cleaned/straightened up my clothes and desk area. which was very much needed. and i got all my class papers and etc organized and in a notebook, yay!! i like being organized.
then i went to the caf with kris to eat and watch the 1st half of the super bowl!! which the 1st half wasnt very exciting....well, it was good. but it ended with a score of 3-7. so just alot of good defense. since i had rehearsal during the 2nd half my dad text me updates of the game. and then during rehearsal we had a 5 min break and mr. miller went to his office and turned the game on in there and so me and katie briscoe RAN up the stairs (both in heels) to watch the last 10 secs...and the giants won!!! yay!!
so yeah. that brings me to rehearsals......
I LOVE IT!!
the cast is super amazing and talented! and i am super excited to show everyone what we have and to get this show polished and being amazing!!
tonight was the first time we had the "trio" (do-op girls) with us at a blocking rehearsal and got the whole song of "downtown (skid-row)" choreographed in 2 hours or less. it was great. and everyone sounds wonderful together! i love it! especially seymour! josh strickland is great, and i love his voice! voice crush award for this show goes to him hands down! heehee....girls are silly

anway. yeah. so i didnt get much schoolwork done, but thats fine because i really didnt have much to do anyway. and it ended up being a very good weekend. yay for friends! i love all of mine, especially the ones that hang out with me and make me happy :-)

now to make collages :-\

sibling bonding time

tonight i didnt have any plans with friends so my brother cameron and i went out for a drive together. it was nice. we just talked and caught up and shared things...just good bonding time. and we hung out for quite awhile too. we left the house around 8:30 and didnt come home till a little before 1:30. so almost 5 hours, just me and him. i didnt even realize it was 5 hours till just now. we drove around and then went to the park and just sat on the back of my car and talked and then he got hungry so we went to ihop for a bit and then finally headed home. i like it when we can just talk like that and spend time together. we dont get to do it very often, for one because i am in college now, and for two because even when i am home we are both off doing our own things, but the times when we do get to just hang out and be brother and sister, its nice. especially as i get older i am glad we can have these moments of bonding and being close.

:-) it was a good night
