It's over. I wasn't even in the actual cast, but I'm still gonna cry that it's over. I was only in it for 2 weeks and I'm still gonna cry that it's over. Snap, who ever knew that Pit Orchestra could be so much fun, especially for the most amazing musical ever Beauty and the Beast. Yes, incredible. One of the most amazing experiences of my life. I had never done Pit Orchestra before because I thought you had to be in band. Nope. Of course, if I would have known that, I would have instantly signed up for the piano part because there is SO much of it and it's SO pretty and it's practically the main part! However, I didn't know, so I was stuck with Brad asking me and Mrs. Mathews referring me to Mr. Bowman to play the "harp" part on a keyboard with a harp sound. Yeah, it was SO much fun!! Everyone said I did really well, especially for having only rehearsed 3 or 4 times before opening night. Before that, even. There were 2 matinees and a parents' night. Basically, one day through Act I, next day Act II, both days in which I got COMPLETELY lost because I was so unfamiliar with the music, but after that I finally got the hang of it. Yaaaaaay. Oh my goodness I made SOOOOO many friends!!!! Oh goodness I am so sad, because tonight was closing night, and I will never hear Becca sing those beautiful songs like she does again. She's amazing. She really is. No more watching Brad up there flaunting himself all over the place. No more laughing at hilarious Asay or talented Sousa. No more trying to sneak peaks at the Transformation as Brian rose up out of the fog. No more cute Melissa. No more uber creepy Brian (different Brian). No more careful counting or watching Mr. Bowman for a smile to see if we or the people up on stage did it right. No more Top 10. Haha #1 really was the best: "Just because the show's over doesn't mean your feelings for me is going to change, does it? And we'll still have our little rendez-vous, won't we?" Ah, you gotta love Brad. And, yay, no more blisters on the tops of my fingers. Snap those glis's were FUN!!! Yay 3 cheers for freakin' Pit Orchestra for Beauty and the Beast.

Hip Hip---Huzzah!

I'm totally gonna do it next year, but wait. If I want to sing in college and hopefully get a scholarship for that or something, then I better try out for the play where I will be singing, and not be sitting at the piano or...aardckkclk this is so confusing! Don't worry, I have time to think about it yet. Oh, and today I auditioned for the solo for the song we are singing at the ACDA Convention called "Gloria." I think I did really good considering all the pressure was on me, haha of course. Can you imagine what that would be like? If I got that solo, do you know how AMAZING WONDERFUL that would look like on my college applications? "I sang a solo for the Western Division (of the world!) ACDA Convention." Snap, that alone could get me in somewhere! That would be such an incredible honor to sing a solo at the ACDA Convention in March. That's one of the reasons why I want this solo so badly. Also, I want it because I'm finally coming out of my shell and actually putting my voice to use, and not just hiding it in a choir. I've never done a solo before for anything, and I thought, heck, it's better late than never. I really do want this part. I hope I make call-backs!!! Ok, I really gotta get going. I'm leaving for WASHINGTON tomorrow YIPPEEEEE I'm super excited!! It's going to be SO much fun! And I'm gonna work on my solo while I'm up there, because that's what Mrs. Mathews wants me to do. Yay!

I swear...I honestly think he's avoiding me. Well if he is, that's not my fault. I didn't do anything wrong. I also think after the whole "kiss" thing with my phone he changed the ring tone to "Wedding March." What?!?!!

This is really random and no one except a very few select people will get this---I just read an email about ahhhhh sweet stuff blah blah and then at the bottom it said, "If you send this, you will get kissed on Saturday." Ack, do you know what Saturday is?! SADIE'S!!! Katie, B, HELP!!!! I'm totally not sending that email...!

Ok ok I admit it--Cillian Murphy is not ugly. But he definitely has his very own unique looks...

I'm pretty sure all my friends have a blog of their own, not including my stupid english one. I think it's about time I join the club and start writing about things that I (lots of emphasis there) want to write about, not what my english teacher wants me to write about. So I'm just wondering how everyone is going to find out about this one and if I'm even going to continue writing in this although I think I am because there's always things I have to talk about (trust me, everyone that knows me knows I talk) and this is gonna be about me and I just lost my train of thought...I'm kind of excited though because now there is no pressure whatsoever on this blog. Darn stupid other one I still have to keep up the WHOLE ENTIRE YEAR. Not fun.

So...I keep leaving my wallet with my friends and it always happens to be on Saturday night...

Oh I wonder what my blog is going to look like. I hope it looks cool. It better look cool. Or something. It's just gotta keep me satisfied and those who read my lovely blog satisfied. I really need to tell my friends about my brand new blog that I just made 5 minutes ago so they can come and read it and be happy like I'm being happy and they don't have to bother themselves with my boring english one. And I gotta add friends onto this blog, if that's even possible. Heck, I don't know how this system works. The only thing I do is get on and write a couple paragraphs. I've never concerned myself with all the little details before...

So I guess while I'm on here writing about whatever I feel like writing about (because that's what it's all about and who cares about stupid pots and pans anyways) I'm just going to admit right here and right now that I am in love with Cillian Murphy. I honestly think he's one of the uglier actors out there (he's not attractive in the least except for those gorgeous amazingly blue blue eyes and interesting lips...), but after watching Batman Begins and Red Eye I couldn't help but fall in love with this...really cool person. He's the perfect bad guy. He's not tall, dark, handsome (ok, not handsome, just plain scruffingly ugly), or any other characteristics you might happen to attribute with a bad guy. He is a very normal-looking person, yet he has the PERFECT bad guy look because, ok, bad guys anymore are not the weight-packing, cigar- smoking, stubble-growing men, because that just gets old. The perfect bad guy is the kind that you would least expect to be a bad guy, yet inside they are just so dark and ugly. They are so manipulative. They are persuasive. They are kniving. I really think it's his eyes. Ooooh, his eyes! And their outside appearance disguises them as the rest of the world so they can go on doing their dirty deeds and not once get suspected. In both movies, he completely threw me off. When it first showed him in Batman, I thought he was just some normal person that just happened to be a little corrupt because that's how the whole city was. And I definitely didn't think he was going to be a main character, except for that little itty bitty inkling in the back of my head that said, "Uh oh, potential trouble." It turns out he was one of the super bad guys, working only under the head honcho bad guy himself, whose name I can't remember. With Red Eye, had it not been for my friends telling me what the movie was about (a man stalks this woman onto an airplane and then threatens her to do a big no-no), I would have thought he was just a really nice guy, and oh, they were going to fall in love, oh, how precious, oh...and then BAM! I didn't even see it coming! He transitioned from Mr. Nice Guy to Mr. Bad Guy so smoothly that I had to look twice and say, "What the heck just happened?" That was pretty darn tricky. Either that, or I'm just way slow. So anyways, after reading this super long post (told you I don't stop talking!), and after becoming bored, tired, and slightly annoyed, I'll just leave with you that I am currently in love with Cillian Murphy. Kind of...
