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

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 :-\
