since people,seem to think personal opinion shouldn't be done on an online journal when it has to do with fellow actors, if you can some of them that all my posts will now be friends only....i wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings by saying the truth. Screw that, all i have to say is get used to it. If anyone wants to try and make it in the theatre world they had better start being able to acept criticism. Because it gets a hell of a lot worse people. Take it as a hint that having range as a singer is a good thing...loud and belty is NOT ALWAYS NEEDED. If people can't take that i didn't appreciate the belting then, oh well.

Ann Miller died yesterday, i'm so sad. She was such an amazing performer, probably one of the best tap dancers EVER. I mean every movie she did that i saw was filled with the most amazing tap numbers i've ever seen. Just too phenominal to describe. Its such a loss to the entertainment industry. It really does suck to be living when this generation of performers are all dying. Its not fair to know how amazing their work was, what they did to push the entertainment industry forward then have to hear about them all dying. Captain kangaroo died today too....gosh i hate it so much.

Joseph auditions turned out different than i expected. I totally thought Robin or Kelly would get the narrator. But its good that rsp is getting new talent too becuase that girl has a good voice. I guess it makes sense to give it to someone with a bit more of a mature sounding voice. Plus maybe they're thinking ahead. Someone like her would be perfect for bakers wife or cinderella in woods. Robin or Kyle, did Dave lack get Pharoah? his audition was funny as hell. If they did Little shop he'd be so perfect for The dentist! ewww la cage memories! that damn the dentist. Well Kelly, now you can concentrate on school and making a really awesome summer stock tape.
So i'm getting ready for bed a little while ago and i pulled out my stud to clean it and looked at the back of my ear. its all pussy and looks infected. My dad thinks its probably just a blood blister cuz it bled like hell when i pushed on it. I'm worried that its infected and because my schedule is so hectic i don't have time to go to the doctor till maybe friday to check it out. Maybe i can go in thursday before school. But, i guess there goes my earing. I don't want to put the stud back in till i know if its ok and it will probably close before then. I just hope my industrial doesn't get infected! yikes, this is no good....now i'm not tired because i'm worried about my ear.
So a head clerk in my store, so i've heard, is trying to get me into trouble. What a jackass. The guy is retiring in april and seems to want to make everyone as miserable as he is. No can do. I think it's funny. I don't think he'll get far because i haven't done anything wrong. plus if he tries and has no shred of backing i'm going to give him hell. Union reps aren't fun to deal with and i'll make sure there is one around if he tries to pull any stupid shit. No use my just taking undeserved trouble just becuase he doesn't like me.
lol, just heard the funniest news ever!!! damn that just made my night....personally i don't give a flying you know what! oh goodness this is just too great! haha, hey the truth hurts!

So my freaking atm card starting being a piece of crap a few weeks ago and the magnetic strip stopped reading....i went to the bank to get a new card and they said it comes through the mail....do you know how much it sucks to not have an atm card?! I hate writing checks. I went to safeway or savemart, one of those, to get money last night and you had to be a freaking "vip" memeber to get money back...wtf is up with that?. So finally the stupid card comes in the mail today, i just opened it a few minutes ago and you have to call a number to activate the card.....the office you have to call is closed for the day! now i can't do it until tomorrow after work....stupid stupid stupid!!! I hate electronic funds and money all together!

today sucked/rocked!
who might be going back to new york for spring break, AGAIN??!! thats right, as long as i get my parents to pay for my plane ticket i'm good to go. I figure i'll do the birthday route. I thought we should stay with allen but i'll go for Erik's idea, as long as kyle isn't there! lol, j/k. So shows we will see:
Wicked- i want to get tickets before hand for that one
Avenue Q, Little Shop and possibly Urinetown.
We're gonna try the whole stand outside the theatre thing to get the $40 tickets up front, because i'm poor and have to save up for my big move in two years. I know i can't wait till then to go back. I really hope it works because i miss that city so much!
So onto the suck. Alex and I went offroading in lincoln and alex got out to watch. I did some stuff then stopped hella fast because i couldn't see and though there was a drop. I got the car stuck in a fat ass hole! We tried to get it out for an hour and someone came along and gave us a ride home. We went back out later and Mikey started praying...then a car came from nowhere with a tow kit and a huge 4x4 truck and pulled us out no problem. but my poor car got dirtier from them mud! My dad's mad that i took the car out there at all, but i felt bad because i got alex's car stuck.
this is my good slash not so good day!!!

i never got to play video games when i was little, so now i'm making up for lost time. I sat at newfreeland for over an hour with Jason and Erik and just played Zelda! Erik even trusted me to play a little, after saving the game so i wouldn't ef it up. although i can think of better ways to spend my time i just can't help but stare at the tv screen. I am determined to get aamazing at playing super smash brothers so i can whoop Erik's butthole into the ground with my ice clinbers! haha i love nasty rotten little eskimo children!
First cast meeting tonight. I felt rather embarassed while the guys stood around as i got my measurments taken. They seemed to enjoy it...well good for them! I'm excited/scared about the costume they want to put me in. A merry widow, lace up boots, thigh high fishnets and crazy ass hair. The costumer is basically going to try and re-create most of the costumes from the broadway show. I forgot to ask Jeff about the whole swing situation, i just want to know how they're going to do it and if i get to be possibly lowered onto the stage! that would be a-mazing. I talked to Martha briefly tonight, i feel stupid becuase i'm in awe of her because she too damn talented for her own good AND she isn't stuck up about it!James said he didn't want me singing with the chorus, which makes me kind of sad becuase i really love the music in the show. But i agree that my voice would probably stick out no matter how hard i tried to blend becuase my voice is rather distinct.
off roading tomorrow!! I hope Alex and Nick don't kill me!
I have to back to el doctor. My migrains have been unbearable the last few days. I had to take enough medication to knock meout today to get it to go away....and its already back. Plus my mom thinks i'm anemic(sp?). She says that might be why i'm so tired but can't fall asleep at night? Eho knows. I just wish there was a magic pill to solve all my ailments. Maybe i'm a manic depressive hypochondriac. that sounds more amusing then being anemic with migrains. And i think i'm going to go to the orthodontist and look into getting braces, again! Damn orthodontist lied to me when i was little! he said i wouldn't need them again. I think i want to get those invisiline ones or the clear braces....we'll see. I'm just tired of having unpleasant teeth.
I'm seriously considering trying to save up money to go back to NYC for spring break again. Maybe i can get my parents to buy my plane ticket for my birthday? I dunno i wanna see Wicked, Little Shop, The BoyFrom Oz and Avenue Q. If they paid for my plane ticket and we stayed with Allen AND stood in line for hours to get cheap ass tickets then i think it could be workable for under $400! Think about it Erik, taking the train from Jersey would be worth it, or maybe Allen could drive us into the city if he has stuff to do a couple of days. It would be just like PJ game again! leave the day after opening weekend and come back the next friday. I don't think i'd be AS sad coming back because this show is going to be much better than pj game!

Ok, so i bought the cd for the show and i love it. But then i read the book and have yet to see a real synopsis of the show. All i can get is that the musical is incredibly different from the vision Gegory Maguire had.
Like:
where did Nessa get arms? Why is she with Boq? She never gets with Boq. Why are Glinda and Fiyero together?! Fiyero never gets with her, she woudln't ever get with him because it was "below" her. And the thing that i understand the least is how they changed their journey to the emerald city. It took them a week and was absolutly no fun. They didn't see the sights of the city they waited and waited to see the wizard, Elphie lost her temper and then she left Glinda. Then everything with the wizard. The Wizard never shows any good character in the book, he's just a jerk.
Oh and the whole flying thing. In the musical when they go to the emerald city does Elphaba already know how to fly? i assume so because that ne3xt song is defying gravity. She didn't "know" how to fly. In the book she only knows the broom is magicked because the little girl, Nor, flys with it outside and then it takes a good while for Elphaba to get it to fly for her.
all in all, if anyone has a full synopsis of the musical i would love to see it. I just want to see all the differences so i can get over it and keep enjoying the show! I guess its understandable that they'd have to change it from the book, but i don't understand why they did so drastically. Its just like musical theatre to "happy" the show up some.
k, i dunno if this posted where i wanted it to. do you do anything special to post an entry in a community?

Ok ok why was David Cross wearing a freaking robe on the celebrity poker finals?!!! That made my day better. Work pissed the fuck out of me today and if anybody looks at me crossly tomorrow i'll rip their freaking head off. I'm so tired of that place now. Can graduation be tomorrow so i can get the fuck out of here?
I'm trying to get a bootleg copy of Wicked. I found someone that offered but she said the audio has a buzz on it....i think i don't care much! I have the cd as long as i can hear whats going on its all dandy!
ragtime tomorrow....this is me excited!
I'm pissed that i can't go snowboarding on saturday, but we're going off roading on friday. I'm excited! Its been over a year since i got to go offroading....and goodnight

Sorry, but why would you start clapping right after they did that to Jesus, stupid people at DMTC. Who didn't really like the show? That would be me. I was ok through the first act but, the second act ruined it for me. Stupid untalented Micheal Miller. Amber was pretty good. I don't think her voice match's the sound Mary's songs should have but she did ok with it. Melody was melody. She sang far too nasily and belted too high. I thought it was funny to hear Brian sound like a rocker from the late 70's/early 80's. Honestly, whats to point of using mic's if you can't hear the people on stage?!? One of the many flaws DMTC has is always having a band that is faaaar too loud. Erik was threatening me all night with the prospect of putting my name somehwere in the new theatre. For only $1,000 you can have your name on a plaque on the fountain!!!! Or for$250 you can have your name on a chair!! If i want my name on one of their stupid chairs i'll just carve it into the chair for FREE! God i dispise that theatre. Everytime i see Steve I cringe. Last i had heard Buzz Oats pulled out of the project but according to Steve he's still on board. I mean, who deserves a brand new facility LESS than DMTC?! Nobody!! Erk's me that people who do such horrible theatre can get a new one to work in.
OUr first meeting for Ragtime is wed. I'm nervous! On the one hand its exciting to get to work with people Like Rodger MacDonald, Martha kite and James Wheatly, but on the other its incredibly intimidating. I've never seen James on stage but i know Martha and Rodger are amazingly talented. I teared up from Martha reading one of Emma's speeches. I just hope i can learn a lot from them.
I am really enjoying Wicked. Its a well written book. I think after i finish it i'm going to get confessions of an ugly stepsister. Gegory Maguire was a smart man for thinking of what he did. I mean, who doesn't wonder why some people in books ended up the way they did. There's usually background about the good characters but not usually about the evil or mean characters.

I GOT IT!! I was sooo scared when i called James Back. I totally set myself up for another loss. I was saying, don't cry, happy voice, wait till after the phone call to cry. He asked what i was doing for the next 3 or 4 months and i just said um becuase i wasn't wanting to do the show if i didn't get. So they have this part to fill, i think its Evelyn something?, and we thought you might want to fill it. Bwa haha. It feels so good for someone to finally give me a break. I just hope i don't suck. I'm going on a hard core diet and a strict workout regiment so i don't look totally disgusting onstage. So that and having an awexsome tap class tonight, minus sickly Kelly has seriously made today the best day i've had in a while.
I really want to take speech level singing from someone. I know its not great for your voice but after listening to some of those songs from Wicked i want to belt at least 4 or 5 notes higher than i do now.

My mom bought me "Wicked." I'm listening to it but not sure that i like it. It makes me want to read the book because i'm confused about what exactly is going on most of the time. Its weird to hear indina menzel not belting/screaming....because thats basically all she did in rent and i've only hear bits and pieces of her albums. Then again, it makes sense to be much softer in the beginning because she turns "wicked" in the middle? But, Norbert Leo Butz is in the show and i love his voice. I wish he sang more in the show. Kelly, Erik want copies of it?
So, AR has the most f'ed up bookstore ever. It was still broken up by sections by its in alphabetical order! Instead of by course number.Soo stupid! I took me a half hour to find all my freaking books! I was so annoyed.
stupid computer has started signing me in again....lame thing.

well i have to say i feel better after tonight. Having him apologize and say the things he said made it better. I was afraid seeing Kelly might be a little wierd. It wasn't like we got in a fight or anything but me being me i thought it might be weird? Totally wasn't...
i don't really like the wait, i never have. Its the worst part about auditions. I actually like getting up there and singing for strangers. Casting on thursday or friday, either way it'll be good for me. Either i'll get a part or i'll start taking more dance classes at Hawkins...can't see much wrong with that.
Kelly, i wish you hadn't told me about "THAT" last night.....now i feel even more uncomfortable!!! Queer Eye is a must!

Ok, so being belittled by your friends and people who's opinion you greatly respect sucks more than anyone else belittling you. Albeit it wasn't intentional, they didn't even realize they were doing it, i think.Its because of situations like that that i have 0 confidence. Like without meaning too they're saying you'll never be good enough so let me tell you blatantly to your face that you should just accept that you'll never get anything better...ever. Sorry, i know you probably didn't mean to but i feel like a big pile of rotting shit right now.

Erik and I watched Casablanca tonight. My first time seeing the movie. I thought it was really good!
We went to walmart, micheals, and Ross. I love Erik's new addition to his room!! They guys finally got an oven mit. Helpful with having to pull hot things out of the oven?!
Webber came over with Kelly and we listened to Jason quote History of the world and watched some Mr. Show! Funny stuff, especially seeing Jack Black play JC! Seeing Webber was nice, I'm glad he came over the other night....even though it took him 2 freaking hours to get there!!! Sparky, i really think we should go visit him one weekend this semester!
thinking of a Ragtime song....everything that comes up doesn't match the parts i'm looking at....i hate this process, plus i have to write a new resume, mine got flushed. Stupid computer!

I feel like i'm a gonna throw up cuz it hurts so bad right now! So i didn't get my nose pierced, i think ANdrea was mad. Anyway, i think i'm gonna go do that one with her and Alex in the next few weeks. BUT I did get something pierced!! Its called an industrial. I have two holes with a barbell in my left ear, helix to hexil....i'm so stoked! I'm hecka shaking right now. It hurt really bad but i didn't want to seem like a big pussy so i just stayed quiet the whole time. He said he wished everyone did as well as i did! But damn i'm in so much pain right now....anyone got pain killers?! haha...so next is my nose then maybe...i dunno what its called but that little part of your ear thats connected to your face? the guy who pierced me had that and i thought it looked hella cool...there was this guy there that gauged his ears and they were sooooo big....crazy stuff. anywho i'm off to get gas and go shopping with my gift cards!!!!!!!!!!!!1

She and I haven't hung out just the two of us in a long time. What better way to spend the day then going out to lunch then to a scary tattoo/piercing shop. My parents are going to flip when they come home! My house feels like an ice cube.

Alright Erik, i hate you for being right....i think a bit of that theory you told me is a bit outlandish, but in general i think that concept was a big reason why it happened. I was thinking about how i lectured Andrea about the same exact thing last week....damn i'm such a hypocrite. I'm so mad it happened. I mean, its so stupid that everything had to change becuase of that person. I'll pull a Kelly, "don't ever" let something like that come between people. Its just lame that things couldn't have happened differently.
human beings are idiots. I mean honestly. Our lives our ruled by emotion...stupid emotions most of the time. We're more than idiots we're just bad "beings." We thrive on hurting eachother....especially in our fun theatre community. What can i say to make this person look bad...or i don't like them so i'll make up some great nasty thing about them...I mean its ridiculous that we all have to live this way. I'm so sick of it all. SOmetimes it just like why even bother with people. We'd all be better off...
A thought:
Since i have furniture and new freeland does not we should have a movie night at my casa either on monday or tuesday night. We're long overdue. Perhaps more mob movies or Indiana Jones!

haha get this, i actually remembered having a dream last night!It was really stupid but made me laugh. Kelly, Erik and I were at a tech for some big show, i only assume it was big becuase of the stage and sets. But we were standing in a catwalk i guess watching them set some stuff onstage. Then out of the blue Sparky comes walking up.....with Hillary Duff!? haha that made me laugh....i think they were going out too, but i'm not sure. Go sparky for picking up a 16 year old in my dream!
Ok so I've been feeling really rebellious and want to do something to freak my parents out for when they come home! Plus i've been thinking about doing this for a while. I'm going to pierce either my nose or get another set of earings....i said my chin! haha, but nobody else went for that...knowing me i'd find some way to kill myself having something sticking out of my chin....oh maybe i'll do both just for shits and giggles...i dunno. I don't think my dad would rip out a nose ring but i'm not 100% sure, i'll just have to wait till he saw it.
