Stay with me Thursday...

So an explanation of sorts for why Emma has moved to Friday and Saturday (as opposed to Thursday and Friday):

I'm not telling the whole ranty story, because I've told it plenty of times to other people and have gotten my ranting out and don't want it to come back. But the simple story of it all is that the drama club at our school is hated and disliked and doesn't even get funding of any sort and is always displaced. So, without telling us or checking with the supervisor (Mrs. Riley), administration changed the date of our performance from the 26th and 27th of March to the 2nd and 3rd of April. We were all very angered about this and didn't even know why it had happened because Mrs. Riley hadn't even come to rehearsal yet because she was off somewhere talking angrily with people.

Turns out, Karli (the third largest female role) can't be there the 2nd and 3rd because she's going to Florida for her birthday and to visit her grandparents. Mrs. Riley jumps up and down at this because this gives her a legitimate excuse to complain to administration and to get the date changed back. Especially since Karli was crying because she couldn't be there. So a few hours later, after the principal of our school finally arrived (late) Mrs. Riley came back at the end of rehearsal and says "So here are our options--and it's up to you what we do: turns out taht the 26th is the only issue so we can just have one show on Firday--and I think you've worked to hard for and are much better than one show, or we can do two shows on Friday and Saturday. It'll be tough to get people in here on a Saturday night, but we can do it if you want."

Of course, we all chose Saturday. So now, Emilea, Anna, if you want to come, it'll be EASIER! The plan might go off without any problems now!

We should figure out everything soon. I hope y'all can come!

but you'll always be his girl, his girl Friday, his girl Friday, his girl Friday

I'll go where the weather's nice and warm

Because that's better than 24 degree weather minus snow. Especially since someone got snow not too long ago and it was only 30-ish degrees. *cough* emilea *cough* And my toes were most definitely frozen for a good hour after I entered the school. I was not wearing flip-flops, either. Just my bowling shoes, which aren't the warmest shoes I own, but aren't cold.

I'll also go where there's a good THE-AH-TAH instead of our dinky high school auditorium. One with a backstage and a place where actors sit when they don't have lines for 10 more scenes. And the smoothness of yesterday's rehearsal for Emma was most definitely too smooth. Especially since today we didn't even get through a single scene once and move on. Every. Single. Scene we had to stop and/or start over and run it again. I realize that it's the beginning of tech rehearsals, but yesterday went so perfectly. Murphy's Law, ladies and gentleman. The last few dress rehearsals will be so stressful.

But my part is going well, I think. Blake said I was the best and his favorite character in the play. (See, she is such an idiot. He's so nice). And Lauren said that I was doing really well, and she told her mother to keep an eye out for me to enter when we perform, because I'd be the really good one that talks a lot. I think they're both exaggerating, but it's a good sign. Plus, I do have all my lines memorized, which allows for much more characterization. But that also means that everyone else has the potential to show me up, once they have their lines memorized.

And everyone, in my opinion, is doing really well. Most, in fact, are exceeding my expectations. I definitely did not think Lenny had such skill, and Lauren's narrator voice is fantastic (but I thought she'd do great), and Austin is even doing better than I expected. Not on his entrances and cues, but, you know, in his acting and whatnot.

I wish that y'all could come see it. The set is pretty good, and we're getting actual costumes this year! Tay!!! And, obviously, it's EMMA so it's great anyway, without everything else. Plus, I want to see you, emilea! I miss you!

But to the point of the post:

CREATE YOUR BAND NAME & ALBUM COVER:

To Do This

1 - Go to Wikipedia. Hit “random”or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RandomThe first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to Quotations Page and select "random quotations"or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7daysThird picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use Photobucket or similar to put it all together.


And since Michael Foot (that's what it is, if you can't tell. It turned out blurry for some reason) and Stripped Treeshrew are going on tour together, they need an opening act. So I did another one. (I also did another one because I'm procrastinating doing my english homework and because it was so much fun the first time. Also, I'm lame. And when I told Austin today that I had no "spare time" he asked me what I did so that I didn't have spare time--after asking me what I meant by that--I couldn't really think of anything. Except that on every Saturday from here to eternity--meaning mid-April--I'm busy. But Fridays? Nothing so far. Sundays? Just the bowling this weekend. Weekdays? Just homework and rehearsal, but nothing interesting. I feel very anti-social these past few days). You know what, am I allowed to change my band? I like our opening act better than my band. Maybe I'll just aBANDon my fellow band members and join Brickyard Kennedy.

Anyway. That's all for today.
