Wow, I was a wreck in my last entry.
I'm better now.
Let's see... Where to begin?
I guess I could start with the fair: IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!
Working the stands was everything I thought it would be.
Everything was fabulous:
- I was sheltered from the rain.
- I had a great view of everyone who was on the blacktop, regardless of where they were.
- I got to wear this neat little Home Depot thing.
(Don't ask; I was amused with it.)
- FREE DRINKS!
I also felt super-important handling the money.
Although there were a few bad things, too:
- Watching people lose was sad.
(I thought it would be funny, but it was actually kind of depressing.)
- About 75% of the people that played our game didn't listen at all when we told them that if they get two bags into one hole, they DON'T win.
(You have no idea how many people did that, and then expected a prize.)
(YOU HAVE TO LISTEN!)
(Morons.)
Then we had the Cancer Survivors' Picnic, which turned out really well.
Pattie played it up to be SO CORNY, as always.
(It's not a Pattie production if it's not corny.)
She was a little too controling, too.
Darren was HILARIOUS as "Snakeskin Stan."
He went undercover and posed as a food server with the other ladies.
I loved my costume, and I loved using the western accent.
I loved watching all of the people have fun.
It was yet another great experience.
(I actually got sunburn that day, and it was so strange!)
(They were three patches of triangles: one triangle on my left arm, one triangle on my right arm, and one triangle on the left side of my chest.)
(Weird, eh?)
I had been having a heart attack this entire week due to various things.
I was going psycho over my Chemistry final.
Today I learned that I failed the fourth marking period and the final, but I passed for the year.
(I was SO relieved, I almost started crying.)
My final for Theatre Arts turned out wonderfully.
Everything was last minute, and I definitely owe my actors the world.
(Especially Sarah, who I asked that day to be in it.)
(I love them all. ^.^)
Everyone else's show went great, too!
I'm beating myself up over Jeff's.
I played a newscaster, and I think I did a miserable job.
This one guy playing a ghost was supposed to wander from stage right to left and meet with me so I could interview him.
After another guy's last line (that's supposed to cue my talking to the ghost), the ghost was still all the way stage right.
So I ran out with my mic, asked him the questions, stepped over his one line, and then raced off the way I came.
I feel like such a dork.
>.<
I'm a better actress than that, I know I am!
And speaking of acting...
Summer Drama starts up next week.
I hear the guy that I'm understudying for has quit.
I'm both happy and unhappy...
Happy because... well, hey--that means I get a part.
Unhappy because more people will probably think that I got it just because my mom's on the board.
(Despite the fact that my mother says the board does not affect the casting.)
(Even if the board does go to Sherban's with the directors afterwards, regardless of whether or not they sit on the opposite side of the table when the directors are casting.)
(In my defense, my mom WASN'T there.)
I just hope that people know that I'm a good actress and that it wasn't my mother being on the board that made me get the part.
I really, really hope.
Really hope.
Okay, I think that's it.
Ever since freshman year, I've wanted to be in the announcers' club.
In case you don't know, the announcers' club consists of maybe five or six people who do the morning announcements.
I think it'd be the most amazing thing to do.
So I went to Fox (a guidance counselor, also in charge of the club) on Friday morning and asked her about it.
She asked if I was a senior, asked for my name, told me she'll add me to the list, and call me down when I'm going to audition.
...I was never called down.
So today I went to go see her.
She was super busy because she's the senior class advisor, and the seniors graduate tomorrow.
So she told me to leave her a note with my home phone number.
I really, really, really hope I can do this.
It wouldn't just make my day...
It'd probably make somewhere between my year and my life.
Yup.
And I'm super nervous about it.
My mom tells me not to be and keeps reassuring me that I'm a great public speaker, have good speaking skills, etc.
It doesn't matter.
The only things I've ever been confident about are cheerleading tryouts and most acting auditions.
Morning announcements are different.
I'm just going to give it my best.
Put a little "oomph" into it.
'Cause the seniors this past year were so... "blah."
The students need to wake up to a little "oomph" in the morning.
Most definitely.
Oh well.
I hope I get it!
*crosses fingers*
So there's this new Big Brother season starting up soon.
(I haven't watched BB since the second season.)
(The first season was THE BEST EVER.)
(Second season was alright.)
(From the third season and on, it just went downhill.)
It's an all-star BB.
CHICKEN GEORGE MIGHT COME BACK!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Chicken George was freakin' awesome.
In fact, all of BB1 was awesome.
Check out a bunch of BB1 videos here.
My sister graduates from middle school tonight.
I get to watch Ellyn play the tuba again.
Tee!
The seniors graduate tomorrow.
I'm going to miss a lot of them.
Makes me sad.
:( <-- me. being sad.
I think that this time that's it.
Yup, I believe so.
No, I was wrong.
The Cheerleading Worlds came on two days ago, and HOLY CRAP.
Some of these squads just amaze me.
Cheer Athletics Wildcats left me speechless.
Speechless, and my mouth hanging wide open.
Crazy.
I'd tell you when there's gonna be a re-run just to make you guys watch it, but I don't think there will be.
(At least not for a while.)
BUT there's another cheer competition that's going to be aired on TV.
Fox Sports Network.
I think.
I'll have to get back to you on that.
Okay, now I'm really done.
I'm better now.
