HI all, i know i don't write in there that often, and then get on your cases to write and update...so i'm sorry. BUT, i have been extremely busy with the play. Tonight we have a show for the local high school. Hopefully the small sudience will give us an idea of what to expect TOMORROW when we open the show. I'm real nervous, but things will be fine right?! yeah man. They will. Anywho, i have to go to more class. I'm beat..and trying to kill this cold i've aquired. It is not welcome here. GRRRR.

I've simply got to vent about this. I loathe Brother Tom right now. I have been spending far too much time near him in the past month and i can take it no more. I think if i have to listen to him talk so long that he runs out of breath and has to force the words or hear him say "in terms of what's going on..." one more time i think i might have to pull a zoolander and kill the prime minister of malasia...only this time it will be Br. Tom. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
If that many only knew how absurdly annoying and rediculous he is, i think he would loathe himself as well. I can't take much more of him. I need him to go away and not teach my class anymore. I need him to NOT be the make-up and costume designer for the show..i need him to just go away. I NEED A NAP! time to take a short one. Choir is not going to be pretty...blah. this isn't a good day for brother tom...he's gotta be feelin my wrath. grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Hey hey...this weekend had been nuts. attemped to play hide and seek in the theatre the other night, but it fell through. So we went exploring and got ourselves scared anyway. it was awesome. Last night a bunch of us went and played kick ball in the dark. that ruled! I had a good time. Then we made brownies and watched Mean Girls. It was a good time. I definately had an awesome weekend. I love my friends here. BUT I MISS YOU ALL WHO AREN'T HERE! :( Oh well...show opens this weekend...friday...i'm skeerd. But it'll be good right? Yes..it will. so anyway...hungry...need food. Later.

Well..it's late again, but hey, i'm going to have all my work done and then drag through tomorrow which is one of my longest days ever. Rehearsal is going better. So that's good, but yeah..it's still not perfect. I wish it were. Tonight we got more direction from Knetl though, so that was good. Anyway, not a whole lot to say seeing as it's 2:30am and i'm beat. So i'll update when i have something exciting to write about. Oh and go to the link from my last post..it's got pics from the dance on it!

i don't have anything to say...i'm tired, very tired and stressed beyond belief, but what can you do? I think i'll take a nap. Go to this web address and check out pictures of my friends and i from the dance....

you might enjoy them. I had a good time. YAAAY!!!

Oh...and on a side note..why don't we just hit her while she's already down. Thank you..I appreciate the way i now feel. You're swell.

rehearsal was terrible tonight...Some people need to jump on the train and have their lines memorized when we're supposed to. How rediculous..we spent the entire night feeding lines to people. I'm just a little peeved that some of us worked really hard all weekend on our lines and when tonight came...yes, we were a little shakey, but we had them for the most part...and then others don't work at all and let the rest of the cast down. I think it's saying something when the director leaves early because the rehearsal is so abysmal. I'm venting, but rightfully so. All i have to say is that someone better get his butt in gear and learn those lines because i refuse to show my family a horrible play. People don't come to plays to watch actors stumble over lines...they come to be taken to another world if only for a few hours. They come to hear the story that the characters have to tell. They want to believe...not be bored to death because a hearty character can't think of his lines. next week is tech week, which means the show needs to be in tip top shape. We don't have time for this. I'm scared.

On a happy note...i had a GREAT weekend. I hung out with my friends friday night. Aaron was in Wisconsin for a Cross Country meet...i made brownies with Brie and Sar. They were yummy. Saturday, i didn't do a whole lot during the day, but Missy helped me work on my lines all afternoon. And good news Miss...I actually remember them! So thank you thank you. I love you lots! Then saturday night after missy helped me with lines i got ready for the dance. I had a BLAST at the dance. It was just soooo so so much fun. I love my friends...Aaron surprised me by showing up to the dance. I had called him and he didn't think he was going because he hurt his ankle and didn't want to be on it all night, so i went without him. Well he went and got all handsome lookin as usual and came to the dance. I didn't dance with him TOO much though because he was with his CC team and i was with my drama dorks. Butu we met in the middle and spent a good chunk of time together. I had a blast though. This weekend has been good despite the rediculous time waste i had tonight. I don't blame Knetl for leaving. I would have too, but they told me i couldn't. (I was on stage for like 5 min all night...and it was a 4 hour rehearsal. nice huh.) Well off to work on my play analysis. There goes my life. BOOOORING! I'll update later...or something.

Guess what guys...I DIED GOOD TONIGHT....the guy who kills me tripped me kinda so i went with it and made my body go limp..and everyone seriously thought i was hurt. The director and the guy who kills me came up to me after the scene and asked if i was ok. "that looked really painful the way you were flopping around up there." well i had to tell them that i was fine..i just let my body go limp and so no harm was done to me. This girl knows what she's doing. So the death scene was convincing tonight...i hope it stays that way. YESSsSSS! I'll keep ya'll posted! Time for sleep. I'm tired. i'm out.

Tonight we did it. We finished blocking the show...now we can have full run throughs of the show. We must be off book by sunday. That means i have a lot of work ahead of me. I've been slacking in my duties...BUT it'll come to me. Don't worry. WE GOT TO HAVE THE DOG TONIGHT!!!! The show calls for a real llive dog..and we got Grendal. (for those of you who are familiar, it's from Beowulf) He's an awesome doggy...so gently and well behaved. Beautiful pup indeed. He's a 10 year old mix of Black lab and Rottweiller (sp) He's so beautiful. We all love him. Perfect for the show. Now all we need is someone to play CROOKS. But that will happen. I'm sure of it. There isn't much time though. We;re almost done with week two..which means only like two more weeks of rehearsal, then the show is up! EEEP! I'm real tired, so i think i'm going to get some sleep. Haven't seen much of my boyfriend in the past few days. Don't know what the deal is there...but i'm sure it will resolve itself and i'll see him soon. I miss him is all. Anyway...Things are great. Poured like you wouldn't believe here. RAIN RAIN RAIN. It was kinda sick. I walked from Yon's hall (choir) back to Gilmore (my dorm) and that is like a 3 min walk..not far at all..and by the time i got into Gil i was soaking wet. it was just rediculous. But i guess we kinda needed the rain. It was a good thing i suppose. Anyway...gotta get to bed. I'm tired. And my abs hurt from working out...note to self: never work out again. KIDDING! Later all! Have a good day!

i'm so bored...i didn't have production hours today...which is when i go down into the costume shop and work on projects for Alice...the costume shop manager...(as of recent i've been working on my own costumes) Sooooo..since Alice isn't here today, i don't have hours to work...and all of my friends are at class...no one is around. What is a girl to do? Hmmm...i think i might go out into the plaza and work on my lines. That seems like a logical idea to me. It's a beautiful day here in Winona...i'm going to go enjoy it. OH and JAMEY...i slept in until 3 on Sunday as well..we must be siblings! Ok...gotta jet. Lates.

Let me please just tell you that tonight was one of the best nights of my life. Thank you for all that you are to me.

Hi all...just got my GARDEN STATE CD today....music is awesome..and i'm in love with it all. The movie, the music, everything. If you haven't yet...you really need to get to that movie. You'll Love it! Not much going down here.

still awake...don't know why...but i'mm going to do crunches now. HAHAHA! working out at 4am. silly stuff.

homework homework homework. HOW BUSY IS THIS GIRL?!?!?! Very very, but it's a good thing. It's keeping me level-headed, but leaving me hungry. Not enough time in the day to make it up to the caf, so i am forced to eat something healthier at the pub or just find something in my room. It's difficult...but i get by. Jamey sent me a wonderful CD and i'm in love with it. It's so wonderful...it's called "details" by Frou Frou. I LOVE IT! you would like it too. Hit it up!

well i have more work to do, so no more break for me. Later...

Tonight my Dade and Mom came to Winona to help me with my computer. I know it seems a silly reason for them to drive all the way here, but i'm their favorite daughter and yes, they love me. So...My daddy cleaned out my computer.."it's just like new" he says...sooooo i don't have an anti-virus program on here anymore and i can't get one to download...so i still can't get all my updates until i have an anti-virus. I WANT TO SHOOT THE PEOPLE WHO SET UP THIS SECURITY SYSTEM FOR THE NETWORK HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok, i got that off my chest.

I'm really tired, but my roommate and i are bonding...we're listening to sad love songs....*sigh* it's a good thing. hee hee. Boys are trouble sometimes. I guess maybe it's time to go to bed. We're making ourselves sad here. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!! hee hee..that's what girls do. They bond by talking and listening to music. It's a good thing. Ok..well enough computer crap for the night. I'm really preoccupied with many different things. The play, the computer, homework, boy, friends, friends' boys, etc etc etc...you name it. SO it's time to put this busy mind to rest. Good night!

no time no time no time....there is just not enough time for me. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

I went to Rochester last night with a bunch of my friends. The seven of us went out for pizza and then went to see the movie Garden State. Wow...i can't even explain how powerful that movie is. It really had an overwhelming effect on me. Great Great movie though. Amazing...wow...then after the movie..i was in dire need of ice cream, so we all went to Cold Stone and then out to my house for some F-U-N in the hot tub. We had a blast! It was a really good night. Then this morning i called up aaron and asked him if he was up for making pancakes..and he sure was...so he made me chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. YUM....i had my first Mice and Men rehearsal today. It's going to be an awesome show. It's a drama, but Brian Knetle is directing it, and so it will be amazing. And as the only female in the cast i will become even less lady like than i already am! It's going to be great! Anyway, i gotta do homework and get my lines prepared. Later!

So to all of you who are dying to know...the cast lists are going up today...as far as i know..i have been cast for the role of Curley's Wife in Of Mice and Men. It is the only female role in the entire show and she has a pretty dramatic end to her. SOOOO...i am pumped for this show. Rehearsals begin tomorrow and i am just soooo excited. ten men and me! hahaha...does that mean i'm the mouse? No no no...anyway...yay for me! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend knowing that i am Curley's Wife! hee hee. I'm excited if you haven't guessed! Ok, gotta go. Byeeeee

The call back sheet went up today for the plays this fall and i was on both sheets....so tonight i have auditions again for both Of Mice and Men and The Misanthrope. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Wish me luck ok?! I hope to GOD that i get a speaking part. PLEASE! pray for me those of you who want to...so that i'll get to say something on stage for once...something important. hehe...Ok..love you all and i'll keep you posted!

Well, for starters...i got the chamber singer's roster tonight..and just as i suspected, i am on the alternate list. I didn't make it, but i'm an alternate...which means i can't be in chamber unless someone drops from my section. Oh well...the reason i really wanted to be in it was to go to France in February with my friends. BUT everything happens for a reason right, and so there is a reason for this, but i have yet to figure it out. Oh well..i'm not crushed.

I had auditions for the two plays tonight. Allison will have the call back sheet up tomorrow and i'll find out if i got called back for any of the shows...and if i did i'll have to go back tomorrow night to read for parts. SOOOOOOO, Wish me luck...actually tell me to "break a leg." I'm hoping for the best! I'll know by saturday sometime if i made it into any of the shows or not. sooo i'll keep you all posted.

Well, i'm off to spend some time with Aaron...i don't get to see him much. I'm so busy. He is too, but we make it all work. That's what happens when you care about someone. You make things work. yes....anyway, Ben Folds is making me sentimental...i need to stop writing. Ta ta all!

This is my 400th entry. Isn't that great?! Well...

Today as i was walking to class i saw a Dinosaur back behind the library. It was one of those long necked dinos that eats tree leaves. I said "hello, little feller, well...i guess you aren't little, but hello to you anyway." and he began to cry. "Why are you crying?" i asked him...and before i knew it the dinosaur had begun to charge me. I ran as fast as i could but it was no use. The dinosaur scooped me up onto his head and i promptly slid down his long neck onto his back. He rushed me away to a land that i had never been to before. There were many trees and lots of other dinosaurs. He looked at me with a tear in his eye. "is that your family?" i asked. he nodded. "Do you miss them?" he nodded again. "Well why don't you go back to them? I'm sure this is a much nicer place to live than behind the fitzgerald library." and with that the sadness on the dino's face disappeared and anger emerged. it seemed he didn't want to go back to his family because they disowned him. He shook his body so hard and so fast that i flew off and hit a tree. My body wrapped around it and my feet kicked me in the head. The impact was so hard that i broke my arm and sprained my neck. and THAT my friend, is why i have this neck brace.

interesting.
