Busy bee.  That's what I always call myself.  Though I might not have time for myself, or maybe others, I like to keep an positive attitude towards activites that I am doing.  Even though I am working my ass off seven days a week at the theatre, five days a week at school, and two days a week at work, I just tell myself that it will all pay off sooner or later!  And it shall for I am having a spa day galore with my friend Gabby after the show is done running in December!  I can hardly wait! 

I have made a ton of friends in West Side Story, and as funny as it may seem, I really wish that I had met them before this for they are all wonderful and beautiful people.  I might not know them as much as other people who have been doing community theatre for a long time but I feel like these past few months we have created a tight knit family.  They are kind and quirky people and I am ecstatic to have been casted with them.  I will truly miss but I know that I will see some of them all in future shows..

I have not fogotten my friends; they are still very dear to me!  I try to spend as much time with them as often as I could (though that is rare) and I enjoy their company because it makes me feel happy that they will always be there for me... always!

On the other hand, I am still going to school!  That sounds funny because I will never stop going to school, no matter how easy or hard it will be to me.  My classes are all very easy and it is helping me get through doing theatre during the night and school during the day.  And on top of that, I get enough sleep every night!  I'm not a wonder woman.  But maybe my mentality of seeing things "for the better" is helping me get through every day. 

My family is under going the process of buying a new house, and should I say a mansion to me!  It is truly a blessing from God and I will keep praying that we get it until I stand on the front step of the house.  I cannot wait to see the happiness on my parents' face when we move in...it is our dream come true -- to finally own a house to ourselves, where no one will bother us about our whereabouts, such and such. 

I am speaking with so much happiness in my heart, and I am intrinsically saying this.  Maybe tomorrow I will different and sullen, whatever it may be, but today I spread my love for life to everyone and everything.  Je t'aime ma vie.

beatles songs get stuck in my head all day. I can't get them out of my mind. I think I even dream with the music playing in the background. Anyway, here is the song of the day for me. Tomorrow it will be different.

I'm trying to use this thing again.... I always forget, damn you Xanga!!

Song of the day: Ask Me Why

I love you, 'cause you tell me things I want to know.
And it's true that it really only goes to show,
That I know,
That I, I, I, I should never, never, never be blue.

Now you're mine, my happiness still makes me cry.
And in time, you'll understand the reason why,
If I cry,
It's not because I'm sad, but you're the only love that I've ever had.

I can't believe it's happened to me
I can't conceive of any more misery.

Ask me why, I'll say I love you,
And I'm always thinking of you.

I love you, 'cause you tell me things I want to know.
And it's true that it really only goes to show,
That I know,
That I, I, I, I should never, never, never be blue.

Ask me why, I'll say I love you,
And I'm always thinking of you.

I can't believe it's happened to me.
I can't conceive of any more misery.

Ask me why, I'll say I love you,
And I'm always thinking of you.

Yesterday's rehearsal went better than I thought despite my anger and discontent with the cast behaviors lately...
But I did see improvements. For one, that is definitely a good sign. For two, well, improvements really need to
start showing now because we open next week. I can't fathom how irritated I was yesterday because people
just don't give a crap! It's hard enough to get myself into place and character when the people around you are not
there......It's even harder when there is no momentum/power/strength/energy to work off of. People need to start
believing that this will be a good show no matter what, and it will be, they just have to believe that they can make
it better than what it looks like right now. I know we haven't started hell week yet but it's time to put their all out
there and realize that there is no more time left. There is no more "yeah okay I'll listen to your notes but I'll do the
'real thing' when the show opens". That is the wrong mentality because practice makes perfect. To top it off, even
though I was sick yesterday I still made my way to be there because I really care about making my last show
worthwhile... At this point I'm going to focus on getting healthier because my throat is giving up on me and I really
don't want to risk using an understudy any time soon...... 

 

well. all hard work pays off........ sigh.
