Random Blog #1

I am kind of into blogging today, so deal with it. I am gonna write about random things in this blog!

I love my friends. Again, I love my friends. They're awesome and amazing. How could I deserve these people? I don't know, I don't think I do. But they're all great when I need them. They never fail to amaze me or let me down. I hope you stay with me FOREVER.

French Class. FUN TIME. That class would be hell without the amazing people I sit near.

Arielle is great AND Filipino, and she has HILARIOUS ideas

Angela, well she's Angela... but still amazing

Melissa is... well Melissa. She is GREAT and funny and she gave me cake today.

Alice is hilarious too. And she has the same birthday as me!

Natalia is so small but so nice, she gives me popsicles too, which is a plus.

Drama is fun, and I learned I have a love for spray bottles.

That is all.

Pppppppp PLAY PROD!

I hate making these things public, and please, I'm not bragging. I made it into Play Prod, but I needed to say this because it will most likely play a role in my blog over the next year.

There are SO MANY people that made it in, some may say too many, and I would agree. My argument is that Play Prod, or PP, is known as an exclusive class and some people who weren't the best singers and/or actors got in.

I know I'm not the best, which I why I was worried! I was scared I wouldn't get in because my singing wasn't amazing, but I did.

Next year is gonna be great, but trust me, it is gonna be FILLED with drama, and not the theatre kind.

I am gonna have moments where I regret it, and some moments where I want to shoot someone, but I'll get over them, I always do.

The class is gonna be wild and crazy with a whopping (as of now....) 35 people, but some people are bound to drop the class by next September.

I got some great friends in that class and this year will just be amazing, I pretty much know it.

So with that, I'm off again. Three blog posts in two days!? Crazy! But if you're out there reading me.... tell me please, I just feel like I'm talking to nobody. I know there's gotta be one.

Beauty and the Beast: The Week From Hell

Welcome to my week from hell, but most possibly, the best week I've ever had. I grew close to SO MANY people it was incredible. This is gonna be a long, emotional blog :p Just warning you.

We got into the theatre on Sunday, and the craziness began... we had tech "rehearsal", which isn't really much rehearsing, but rather standing and doing random things WITHOUT costume. The day was fun, but I saw no progress, although there had to have been SOMETHING happening.

The day went by, and there was a girl... I don't know what happened, it was sudden. Then it went bad, real fast. And it never went good. If you're reading this, I'm not gonna say I'm sorry because you'll get mad, but I'm gonna miss you. We need to talk more :]

Then show days came, and went. So much happened. I grew close to people, I grew apart. Well not apart, I just didn't grow close, but now it seems like I'm far from them. I had so many GREAT experiences in the show and I can't wait for Joseph in January. I guess this didn't need its own post.... but I felt it deserved one. There was so much I know, but I either didn't want everyone in the world to know or I just forgot. But if you have any questions, ask me.

I loved this week and everyone involved. I miss you all so much still. I know I probably won't see you guys all summer, and maybe years for some others! Well I'm gonna go and think of things I forgot, and hopefully write another blog.

Another Month, Another Experience

I feel like blogging has become a monthly ritual instead of daily, but oh well. This WILL be long, I promise. I'll help you out by giving you this blog in FOUR parts: week by week. Here's a summary because don't we all LOVE summaries???

With the help of my best friend who has the best memory (TWITTER!!!) I shall recap.

May 1-8: I went to Olive Garden with my grandma and we saw over a thousand motorcycles on Hawthorne. Exciting? Heck yea! I apparently got a 96% on a math test, so WOOHOO for that one! We had block schedules, which made me want to shank a mini koala.

I finished the AMAZING book "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" which everyone should read. I can't wait to read the next one! I saw the dance show too, which was pretty long, but my friends were in it!

Okay, the next week.... hmmm

May 9-15: I won EVERY SONG Glee has ever released from a contest on Twitter! It was amazing, but it took an entire 9 hours to download.... but worth every minute of it.

FAVORITE SONG EVER! It didn't get released, so I am happy I own it :p

I had Kogi BBQ for lunch one day, which I love. Go to kogibbq.com for more info! I love the Spicy Burrito, it's to die for. Beauty and the Beast was coming up too, so I was busy selling tickets to that, and guess who sold 29 tickets!?!?!? ME!

Okay the next week is really a month in my book, so it'll be LONG and deserves a blog post of its own, coming ASAP! I promise this time!

Dear You

A whole month, I'm sorry.

I'm busy.

But this one is important.

I'll start with the frills.

I am playing Maurice in Beauty and the Beast. I love Encore.

I got a main character for our drama showcase.

Life is pretty good.

Now onto a totally different topic.

Today there was a hater.

I don't take criticism well, I admit it. But I usually am obsessed with it for a few minutes, then it's gone.

Today it lingers.

I don't know why, but it does.

Maybe because it was from a friend. Maybe because I thought highly of her.

Maybe because I gave her my trust.

Whatever it was, it just caused this insult to linger.

I've been working on my voice for over 5 MONTHS.

I just want to be good, not great, not amazing. Good.

I doubt myself. Always. I'm insecure.

Isn't everyone?

But you hurt me, personally.

No matter what everyone says to me now, that seed of "I can't", will always be there.

No, you can't sweet talk me.

You can't try to make up, I heard EXACTLY what you said.

Don't say you didn't because YOU DID.

Thanks for the bluntness, but doesn't everyone have an off day?

Just say it and be done, don't go that far.

If you think I'm overreacting, you might be right.

But it's my life, not yours.

What you said today, was just rude.

Don't tell me I can't do anything.

I can, and I will.

I'll be the best, or at least I'll give it my best.

So thanks for the FRIENDS who have talked me through everything. Every time, not just today.

That's what friends are for, right?

I owe you, and don't be afraid to tell me that.

I do, I don't deserve you guys.

But you're all awesome.

And when you guys leave me at high school, I think I may shed a tear, not gonna lie.

I'll have a whole year by myself, but I'll see you I think.

I hope.

Well to all you haters, not just my haters, ANYONE WHO HATES ON ANYONE.

Go find WHY you're a hater, and maybe just try not to do it.

Try to be less hurtful, even when you think you aren't.

That's what I am gonna try.

Sorry for the rant,

One Geek,

Back to Normal

What's normal exactly? I'm not exactly sure. But it feels like my life right now. I go to school, I come home. That's all. It is somewhat dull and unexciting. I don't know what to do with my time, but I live with myself.

Grease is over, and it was awesome. All 6 shows were FANTASTIC, I loved the experience. I miss all my friends I made from Grease so much! I can't even say how much I miss some of you! Even though you are close to me everyday, we never see each other! So sad....

Beauty and the Beast is good, I have only been to like one rehearsal so I haven't been too involved. But so far it is a ton of fun!

Next week is Spring Break! I am doing Six Flags AND Disneyland! WOOHOO! And my birthday, I do accept presents ;] But really, wish me a happy birthday or else I will be forlorn forever.

Sorry

I haven't blogged for 10 DAYS!!! This is ridiculous. I am home sick today, so there isn't a better time to write another blog.

Beauty and The Beast:

I GOT BOOKSELLER, it isn't really a lead but I have lines, so whatever. They have one more lead spot available and I REALLY REALLY want that one. So I am gonna pray.

Grease:

Tonight we are running through the entire show! Scene changes, scenes, songs, orchestra, EVERYTHING!

Life:

It is going pretty well.
