The blood rushes through your veins,
Your heart begins to pumb.
Lub-dub, lub-dub.
Your stomach is in your mouth.
Your jaw is dropped to your knees.
You walk on the stage and everything just disapears.
That's the excitment and fear that I think everyone gets before entering a stage. It's such a rush, and people ask why I don't do roller coasters? HAHA! What a joke!
Opening night for Once On This Island was an awful terrible experience, except for the cast party. We are so cliquey, yet Anna made EVERYONE go, because how many times will we ALL go out for a party together. Exactly, we won't. Well, i'm happy she did it. We had a blast at Baker's Square. Even the kids who sat at "their own booths" had to come join "the big kid table" at one point because they saw how much fun we were having. I did the bill with Anna, we had a HUNDRED EXTRA DOLLERS, that's without tip, so we made sure our waitress went home happy that night.
Saturday was even more of a dissapointment, except, I went to a kids house with like a few more and we just hung out. I actually had a "girlie" sleepover. How strange? It was really fun. I don't think i've ever actually done the whole cliche thing..(pillow fights, henna @ like 8 in the morning, spilling sunkist all over the carpet, staying up late and giggling about boys..no wait, i've done that) But i've never really been a "girl" persay, and I was...i have no opinion on it. It was what it was, and it is what it is.
Sunday before the show we got it for the fact that we sucked on saturday. No energy, no character, no pitch (that's painful to the ears), and absolutly no focus. Well, it's community theatre, that's better then most can say. At least we only had a list of 4 things wrong, I know kids that have been in shows and it's MUCH worse.
My optimism is really coming back. I'm really happy. This cast wasn't the best, the people weren't the brightest bulbs in the box, the stage manager..well, no comment, and everyone else was kinda a poo, but i will really miss them when it's over. They'll be around, i'm sure, if not, i'll show up at their dorm room and knock on their door and tell them I'm there to spend the night, kinda like what i'm gonna do with melanie. I can't wait 2 c her!!! Britt, Bonnie, and Carrie are comin on saturday. This is soooooo exciting, not that they're comin to see the show, but the fact that they're comin. YA-HOO! (not the chocolate milk)
I think i'm gonna go surf the web, school's over at 1 tomorrow, so anytime past that i'll probably be back on line. Good night all, I LOVE YOU! HONESTLY HONESTLY LOVE YOU!
AlEyA!
