In regards to your letter of complaint, fuck you.

I'm actually having an okay morning. Except I accidentally took two of my concentration meds....oops.
I just sort of feel uptight. Nothing totally ridiculous. I'm a little hyper. But I'll life. My mountain dew at lunch with just have to be for Tabitha.

Boys are dumb. Girls are bitchy. My friends are neither, and I'm thankful. I'm in a much better mood than I was all week. I just hope its not the overdose or a temporary mood swing. I don't think I've felt this good about myself in a long time.



I was able to retake the test that I was accused of cheating on. It was impromptu but I think that was the only way for it to be thought as really fair. My mom talked to my spanish teacher about how abnormal it is for me to cheat on test or lie, and thankfully Ms. Gutierrez at least understood that it was out of character for me. She had nothing but good things to say about me to my mom. All of this, of course, I was told on my way out of my 10th period class. Mom literally walked in and took me out of my class. She seems to like Ms. Silverman and Ms. Gutierrez. I'm glad two of my favorite teachers left a good impression on Mom.

I took it, came back, and then Eva said my mom looked nice and pretty. Ha. Most of my friends don't usually get the impression of "nice" because shes rare to geniunely smile and shes strict. Eva and Kenzie both seem like really nice people. I'm glad I saw past my first impressions of them. People that wear Abercrombie give themselves collectively a bad name, but a few of them are really accepting of other people. I love that. Kenzie and Eva both seem anti-boob labeling in terms of stores like that. I'm glad I have such a great group of people to interact with in Art.

Its funny. I don't have an exact group or clique or whatever, but I feel like I fit in to some degree in several circles. I am wanted in conversation but only if I take the initiative. And I think that people that say mean things about me just look like bad people. Thats thier problem. If they have to talk about other people to feel good about themselves then I am strong enough to roll with thier aptly aimed punches.

I look cute, I'm having a good hair day, and I feel good. I think I want to go shopping with some people this weekend along with tech and improv. Andrew is having a violin recital that I actually really want to go to because I've never actually seen him play. It bothers me a little. People say he's really good. He was first violin and second chair in middle school. The piece he's playing is this really intense violin-dominanted classical deal. I really hope I'm able to see that.

I talked to the counselor yesterday and I arranged to take history over the summer. That way, I can take two art classes next year. So I'm taking drama first semester along with an undecided other class, and then I'm taking acting second semester along with another undecided art class, or possibly I might just get a business credit out of the wat. I won't have to take p.e. all year again, too, because I'm taking safety.

Conclusion: the world can suck it because I'm okay right now. I'm not perfect but I am loved, and I am happy.

Hasta.

I win all the prizes. That is all.

What will Sharpay and Ryyyan do when they find ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut?
DUN
DUN
DUN DUN DUN DUN
banowwwww
nanowww
nowwwwwwwwwww
"Number 3: STICK TO THE STATUS QUO!"

Trololol. Everytime there are callbacks for ANYTHING, thats what pops in my head. I kinda miss that show.

My audition went really well. The last time I was this confident about an audition was last summer.
Dancing could have been better, but what can you do?
The callback list is up. No one is gettig cut, so at least I'm in the chorus.
That I can be happy about. It's going to be incredible working with some of the people who weren't in Hairspray.
My whole body is sore from dancing and my throat is in a lot of pain from practicing my belt so much. Nonetheless, I'm happy.

Hasta for now.

Auditions. AGAIN.

Urinetown auditions are this week.
Double yikes.
I'm trying for Little Becky Two Shoes. But I'll take whatever I can get.
I'm singing "Snuff That Chick" and "Mr. Cladwell", so I'm basically asking for a chorus part.
It'll still be lots of fun I think. I love the music in this show. Its a very dark plot but it looks like a blast to put on.

There's a dance clinic today afterschool. I'm hoping that I get really good at it because my hairspray dance audition was CRAP.  I saw a little bit of it before improv the other day because Schwartz was working on it before Shannon showed up. It doesn't look too bad. Shes a decent enough teacher, anyway.

My only worry is that someone who I dislike, or someone who dislikes me, gets the part. That would suck. Apparently a lot of upperclassmen are trying for it. That worries me. I love singing jazz. It gives me butterflies in my stomach and I know I have the pipes for it. Becky's song is this wicked little jazz number wherien the rebels debate hanging Hope. Its hot and amazing and I would kill to be able to sing it.

But then again, I'm a freshman. I'm lucky if I get cast at all.
-sigh-

On the plus side, if I don't get cast, I'll be able to help with Franklin's spring show a lot more and I'll have more free time. Just doing Alice and Wonderland and guard? Psh. I can handle that a lot easier than 3 shows to work on, plus gaurd. I can handle it, but not being cast would be less stressful.
I'm still auditioning with my all.
Wish me luck?
(if anyone actually reads this anymore)

Hasta.

Think of it not as a 3 day weekend, but as a 4 day week. :D

long weekends bother me for some reason.
I did all my homework this weekend, thank goodness.
I need to ask teachers if I can work ahead-I'm going to have a really busy next few weeks.
Monday afternoon I had rehearsal. Emma is just a riot. Unless everyone learns to be really extreme, she's going to steal the show.
What I also find very amusing is that a lot of typical leads have been reduced to chorus. Granted, the childrens show is usually the smallest deal, but regardless, its comforting.
Improv this weekend was also super fun, and Shannon said I've improved. Again, comforting.
I don't like the people in high school theater as muich as I thought I would, but I still like theater I think.
The thing I am most thankful for, at this point, is that Twiggy didn't audition. I'm SO incredibly thankful. It makes my life easier. Less stressful. I don't want her in my life again, ever. She made me cry too much.
On a happier note, though, this week looks like an A+ week. I'm going to do my best to ignore people who try to bring me down and just work. It'll happen.
Hasta.

Wait. Friday?....Really?

It seems so hard to believe.
This morning I thought there was drama club and so I dragged myself out of bed for the 7:30 call.
There wasn't any drama club.

Its irritating when there's a lack of communication in such a reliant community.

Anyway, yesterday's read through was sort of boring. It turns out the cook doesn't have any lines. Ms. Wilson promised that people would be multiple parts though.

This is such a well cast show. I love that everyone gets along and works together really well. Its not nearly as tense of an environment as Hairspray was. Everyone is comftorble with each other.

Never quite got the hang of thursdays.

Read through today. Should be interesting.
So I was sitting in my first hour taking notes, and I noticed that two girls in front of me were dressed EXACTLY alike.
The uniform here:
north face
tight brand-name t shirt
skin tight jeans
mid calf uggs or ugg ripoffs

Its not the most attractive look for most people here, to be honest.
I'm so thankful I'm my own person.


So damn CUTE! -squeal-

Hasta for now, maybe more later if not tomorrow.

Cast.


"No missus, I went to Oxford."

Call backs didn't happen.
Yup. I'm this bitch right here.
I'm a little upset, but everyone who really deserve a good part got them.
Maddy, for instance, hasn't gotten a lead yet even though she's a sophmore. She's the duchess. It will be such a pleasure to work with her again.
I don't think I actually I have lines, but on the bright side I'm the only freshman who got a named role.
I'm hoping to at least double over as something....the cook only has 1 scene in this version unless I'm mistaken.

In the book, she's a witness at the trial, and I only skimmed over that scene in the script. So hopefully I can say something, but if not, that's just less to memorize.


Its always nice when people who deserve something great finally get it after so much waiting. I'm happy for everyone. Plus, if I ever run out of things to blog about, I can always compare and contrast this show to the one in 6th grade.
Should be interesting.
That being said, hasta.

Audition day...ridiculousness.

of course, all of the major projects and things are starting up today. of course.
-sigh-
I'm auditioning with Jane. She's pretty spiffy. She's  been pushed to try for Alice but is trying for the white queen. I hope she gets called back for the first one.
I have the second audition time on the list though. It worries me. I'm right after two of the best actors at central. Not that much of a problem but they may make me look worse than I am.
I'm trying for the dormouse. I doubt I'll get it. Emma was made for that part, AND shes an upperclassmen. Janjay says not to think negatively, but as a lowlife freshman, I can't help but flip shit. Plus he's the one with the Ginny nomination in his back pocket, so he shouldn't talk.





























Boys are dumb and girls gossip to much. More after I audition because I really don't feel like writing much. I'm too nervous and I want to get some homework done before english.
Yup, I writing this in Tech Orientation.
The dumbest class ever.
Hasta.

Alice In Wonderland. AGAIN.

Happy 2011, blogosphere!
I had a fairly low key celebration this year, cause I'm a loser.
The padre got back in town for like a week, and so I got guilt tripped out of having a social life over that span of time. I swear he treats this stuff like I'm never gonna see him ever again.
At this point in time, its difficult for me to really care. For as long as I can remember he's been an over controling, impatient, melodramatic prick to me and my brothers,
Abscence makes the heart grow fonder? Nope. Just made me remember why I didn't like him in the first place. 
^Probably deleting that later. Of course at this point in time he thinks I respect him.
.
You are so dumb. You are really dumb. Fo' real..

ANYWAY.
*ahem*

Central's fall show is Alice In Wonderland.
As some of you know, I did the same in 6th grade. But it sucked and Ms. Dedman was batshit crazy.
I read the script for this one and its this awesome combination of Through the Looking Glass and Adventures in Wonderland.
I'm trying for the dormouse or the duchess.
The thing is with that, though, is the duchess is so much like other characters I've played, almost the exact same entity as Ms. Darbus or Grace. Yeah. The duck.
....Duchess=duck?

Regardless I think it would be interesting to have more stage time then, god forbid, the gym teacher in hairspray. That was 5 and a half lines, :(

When I was little I used to LOVE the 1999 movie, almost to an obsessive degree.
The duchess was always my favorite, and I feel like she was what drew me into my typecast.
It would be such an honor to be able to interpret her with the knowledge I've gained since 6th grade. 

On the other hand, I really want to learn something out of this, and the duchess won't nesesarily do that unless I can tweak her into something out of my typecast.
But the larger part may give me the leg up next year or in Urinetown.

My other option is mostly in place because of the Ms.

I'm starting to hate my obession with politics. Normal people probably don't overthink this stuff.
On the upside of my life right now, I was able to change out of my awful spanish class and into a good one! Life is okay. Auditions tomorrow. Crazy shit.

I'll write again soon. Hasta.
