Yay Summer
So my day today was not exceptional. Mostly I slept in, read a lot, and then went to auditions for another circus-themed melodrama (the sequel to the one I was in last year). The auditions were a bit boring, there were a lot more people than I expected and a lot of characters to have everyone read for. There will be more auditions tomorrow where we actually put people together for scenes and stuff. There were a lot of girls about middle school/late elementary age and only one male (in a play with 3/4 parts that definitely need to be male and some others that were supposed to be but are flexible). That bit was sort of disappointing, since it's more fun being in shows with older people. I hope they get more guys for tomorrow.
I ended up reading for parts I hadn't considered (since no one else/only one other person was going up for them due to the lack of guys) and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get one of the strictly female roles, since there are more than enough girls to play them. I can totally do a guy character. My sister thinks I'd be best in one of the villain roles, and I'd love to be a villain again. It's pretty awesome that we're finally doing a play together again (it's been four years since the last one). It'll be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.
I considered writing this post yesterday (sans audition stuff) because I had a pretty good day and wanted to write it down so I could remember it all. After lounging around a bit in the morning, my sister and I went out to shop (mostly for necessities/not clothes since we shop for clothes practically every time we see each other) and to hang out. At Wal Mart, she got a cow Pillow Pet and I got a Scooby Doo shirt, since I can't find the one I bought a few months ago and have no idea whether or not I lost it somewhere. I like the new one better, anyway. We strolled around downtown Placerville, which is always cool, and there happened to be a car show going on, so we got to see a bunch of cool old cars. We didn't buy much, but it was still fun to walk around and stare at all the awesome overpriced stuff we wouldn't actually buy. We went to this really neat old fashioned candy store (which reminds me of Honeydukes because I am a nerd) and sampled some fudge and bought interesting soda in glass bottles (she got vanilla creme Faygo- which made me laugh because Homestuck- and I got butterscotch root beer which was actually really good) and then found a reasonably priced cafe and had sandwiches and potato salad in the shade at a little table by a river. It was a bit warm for my taste outside, but it was still fun. And I dressed classy (bow tie and all) for about the first time since the heat hit, which was nice and which she liked because I didn't look "like a hobo."
In not-so-fun news, I have still not seen the Avengers. It is a travesty. I also have not seen Dark Shadows, which I would like to because Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, and vampires. I don't care that Tim Burton is increasingly lacking in creativity in all of his films, because Johnny Depp is a vampire and how is that not awesome? Also I've been stressing about job stuff (namely that I don't have one, don't really want one, but feel that I should get one even though I don't know where to apply that I would like to work, and feel bad because I'd only be able to stay for like two and a half months and then have to just quit or something). Anyway, it sure has been nice being on summer break a month before my sister haha.
