So. Saturday show of Footloose. I'm eating breakfast and getting ready to go to dance. My cousin, who lives in North Carolina, surprises me and shows up at my house, cuz she drove 12 straight hours the day before to get to Rochester and see Footloose. She stays until Friday. and Friday she calls when she's on her way home at the LeRoy exit, to say goodbye. INstead of just continuing to drive, she and my mother start talking about why they didn't send me and mike with her. And so she turns around to pick us up. And now i'm in north carolina. Charlotte, to be exact. After driving about nine hours on friday night, and three hours saturday morning, we stopped in West Virginia to spend the night in between. It snowed like crazy from Pennsylvania to West Virginia. And then yesterday we went shopping :) i got a cute outfit. and we went to the cheesecake factory for dinner. It took forever to get a table,but it was really fun and worth it. I don't really know what we're doing today. seeing the city, i guess. and then making a ham dinner for Easter dinner. It's weird not being home for Easter, but i'm having a ton of fun. i fly back in monday night. i miss jon jon. but i always do. so...this is a really pointless entry, but i'm having fun in Charlotte. no one reads this anyway ha ha. but that's ok. i'mbored waiting for Jodie to get ready so we can go out.

Allright. Pressure is offically off thanks to both sets of auditions being over for the different shows i'm doing. Seussical has been done for a while, and the read through was monday, and Prairie Lights finished being cast last night and already the e-mail has been sent out. Thus, i can stop worrying about recruiting people, and casting reprocutions.?. cuz there aren't any. yay. so yesterday was supposed to be my first voice lesson of the year-something i still look forward to each week, and i came home with a fever. so i didn't get to go. and my throat hurts to swallow, but it's not the same sore throat i had yesterday. it's far more bearable. Poor jon jon, he called last night and woke me up cuz i told him i'd call him back. and i did. but his line was busy (as usual thanks to freddy and justin, little boogers.) and...so he called back and wondered if i was ok, and then realized that his brothers were the reason he hadn't heard from me again. Well i was tired, and it hurt to talk, so when he couldn't hear me, i'm sure i wasn't very pleasant back. and now i feel bad cuz i don't even remember it happening last night, but i know i felt so crappy that all i could tolerate doing was rolling over and closing my eyes. SO my schedule's crazy for this fall. and tonight is the field show for band. can't say i'm thrilled to go.1-don't much feel like walking stiffly to a beat aimlessly around a field. 2-i also would much rather not be thrown in that atmosphere, but stay home and watch a movie cuz i'm not in the mood to do number 1. oh well. at least idon't have to go to the "band dance." i think in my four years at gates i've gone to it...once. and i'm not really sure, but i think we didn't even do it our freshman year. so that means i skipped last years but went sophomore year. hey. it's 5:41 and i had to be up for the Senior Breakfast. i'm not making much sense to myself, let alone whoever is going to read this. So i've done a few of those little quizzes online that you don't really pay much attention to the answers, but it's just fun to check off your responses to questions...and they've been right. anyway. i need an idea for my senior solo for dance. i want it lyrical/jazz type deal. any ideas?

There's something i realized about the beach. and life in general. i've always found that the beach was a comforting place, where you could kind of..center yourself and refocus on what is important in life. well, as i watched my footprints get washed away by the waves the other night, i found that not everything in life is as sure as the next wave rolling in. of course, some of us realize that people come into our lives for a reason. i, for one, realize that things happen for a reason too. i can't always explain everything that happens, when it happens, but over time...everything falls into place. if you look back on the last six months of your life, you see people you've met, and things you've done. maybe things didn't work out in the way that they should've with something you took part in. but if you fast forward back to today, you may find that you're glad that didn't work out the way you had originally expected, or wanted. because something better has come of it. or something has suddenly made sense. you can go to the beach and watch wave after wave roll in. typically very rythmic and with a designated time between waves. and you know, if you're there in the evening, that you may have left your car and walked down the pier when it was still light out, but by the time you finish driving yourself home, it will be dark and you'll wonder where the time went. It’s kinda like life. You live each and every day, consciously taking part in various activities. Then a week later, you find yourself looking back going ‘when did all this happen?’

so 42nd street has been over for a few weeks now. and the feeling of not wanting to wake up and drive to rehearsal has worn off. so has the feeling of missing it so much that you don't quite know what to do with yourself. I suppose once you hit a certain number of shows, you kinda lose the show letdown effect. which in one way is relieving that you can actually live your life after a show is over and not mope around, but in another way troubling because what if the thrill of doing a show slowly wears off over time too? either way, i got to work with a bunch of awesome people, and i wouldn't change the experience for a sack of gold.
my road test was yesterday at 8:30 in the morning. yes, the crack of dawn. i think my mom was smart to make me schedule it so early so that i wouldn't be nervous all day. i passed, and i got to drive around a bunch yesterday. of course within the confines of my neighborhood.
today i met jess and paul for lunch at applebee's, and i got to drive myself there. it's weird driving alone, but it's pretty cool. and then jess came over, and right now she's laying down on my couch with a bad headache.
i'm passing the time...comment or something, will ya?

so opening night was last night. i can't say it went off without a hitch, but it was definetly up there. the cast is so talented and i'm so glad i get to work with them. although we had pretty much no time before the show, cuz call was moved up so we could still rehearse again with some tech stuff, and well...it didn't allow for too much time to get ready. i can't wait until tonight-i was excited and ok, maybe a little nervous last night- even when we were at friendly's celebrating a good show. everyone else was concentrating on that and i'm looking ahead..(i guess some things never change-i'll always finish one thing and keep right on going). it was a late night, and i barely slept in this morning. call isn't until 6 tonight-i'll get there early as usual. kayla, if you're reading this, call me so i can talk to you about tonight, cuz i'm going early for numerous reasons. i finished my cast gifts, so i can hand those out tonight for good luck gifts. i'm rambling about nothing. R news came and taped us on tuesday and interviewed devin and i. let's just say i was probably tripping over all my words, and even though i gave him a plot line, i probably didn't even give it right. well that airs today between 4 and 5. i hope i'm still home to see it.

forty second street is going wonderfully. it's pretty exciting to see it all fall together so soon! considering, during tech week, things are still be heavily cleaned up..and we're already doing that now..i think we might be...ahead? it sure feels like it. there's the update. and now i'm off to another rehearsal for it. i'm pretty boring when it comes to this. oh well. read and comment, if you please :)

|
| 42nd...what??? |
[11 Jul 2006|07:17pm] |
so i guess i never have anything exciting to put in here cuz i sit at home all day and do nothing. Yeah Right. Ok..how about i just never have time cuz i'm too busy dancing my feet off and working on a stage to come back here and report to the few people who read this... what my life currently entails. well. i'm in forty second street. and to theatre-goers, i'm peggy sawyer. but you all have to come. it's the last weekend in July, but don't plan a day yet...cuz they double cast the lead and thus i have two shows as peggy and two shows as...non-peggy. otherwise known as a dancer. so i'll repost and let people know which shows i'm doing and which shows katie's doing. (she's the other peggy). although i've sweat all day and hardly stopped long enough to catch my breath. i absoluetly love it and can't wait for the show. the cast is so talented and so fun to be around.
car Gc girls_ i love you girls so much. we have so many "lines" and good memories. we're going to have to bring in the bucket brookie and write down all the one liners and awesome memories from our 1/2 hour a day in the car.
can't wait til the show. i'll try to keep you posted.

just a thought. comment back with your opinion.
what's one show? it's ONE show. not the rest of our lives. not the beginning of the end. why can't we do a show as friends, have some fun, and perform together like we used to? Why does everything have to be about the Part. the Lead. the title role. it shouldn't be. it never was before. a show will come and go. friends should stay forever. in twenty years from now are we going to be reminiscing about the time that one girl stood alone in the spotlight? or the times we had laughing enjoying ourselves at the cast parties and at rehearsals. i just wish theatre this year was what it used to be. fun. not just a competition for a single spot on the cast list...

good weekend. i wish thanksgiving break wasn't over. i can't say i'm too excited to head back to school, but ya know how that goes. and once again (oh yes. get ready for this. ) i'm sick. surprise surprise... glands are apparently huge, i can't breathe, and coughing? oh yeah that's fun. so anyway. my family + jon went to my aunt ellen's for dinner yesterday. watching three four-year olds call "santa" also my father while he's sitting on the couch is quite comical. maybe you had to be there. out of the three, one of them didn't seem fooled, because he insisted that he 'couldn't see' meaning he had to move around to see my dad. hey at least they told 'santa' jae wanted a car. santa replied with...get a job. (yea k thanks. have one) that was my entertainment for the evening. that, and making gingerbread houses. way too much fun. :) that's all. sorry to bore you. you probably had to be there to enjoy that story.
