I'm bold.
I'm curious (or, as some would more boldly put it: obnoxious).
I'm saucy and quick-witted.
I tool around with THE DEVIL.
I'm an insanely intense dancer.
And almost everybody hates me.
I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER.

It's been aboot-- what... who knows how long since I've last updated!! My life has been just about the equivelant and epitome of all things crazy-mad, but, rest assured:
I'M ALIVE, BITCHES. And Microsoft Word Processor to your Motherboards homeskillets, I have returned with a vengence. From here on out, I vow no more forgetting to update, as how can one really turn to follow my pursuit of the Great White Way without consistent journal entries? (lulz); no more not... getting r-replies to comments and... and messages!! No more... no more douchebaggery! Lol...
Really folks: I am sorry. I don't know how I let such an-- I don't wanna' sound like I have no life and say "important", haha, but... a significant part of my interwebz and everyday life, as well as the friends I've made here to slip through my fingers. I only hope that it isn't too late for me to jump back on the wagon!! And so, in order to make up for such a major loss of time, I present to you: A short listing of the events in my life-- before my online death! Lol :D
And if I can even manage to think of any more, I'll be sure to add them as a random daily train of thought, hahaha! Oh God, eternal thanks everyone whose managed to put up with me thus far and to ANYONE who managed to make it through reading this post ALIVE, lolol. All of my love!! HAPPY LATE HOLIDAYS!

SA Audition Update: I'm a woobie, and have decided to take a chance at auditioning this year. For the sheer experience, for the beauty of the show, whether I'm merely a swing or NOT-- thank you all for your kind convincing! And wish me a hell of a lotta' luck.

OFF TOPIC-- SA Auditions: Just last week, my good friend Amanda told me of an SA open call to take place in Los Angeles around September (?) of this year. (Her words exactly: "Don't ask me how I know that...!") Now, although technically you only have to be around the ages of 15-21/older to audition - which I HAD planned to do, once my braces were finally removed - well... after searching the forums of The Guilty Ones, I learned that, LEGALLY (due to possible charges of child pornography and such), you have to be 17 in order to understudy and/or play Wendla. Which is, in fact-
A bummer. An absolute (pardon my Swahili) FUCKING bummer.
... I figure it isn't worth it to audition and land the show, yet not be able to play the role I desire. [Your thoughts? I mean... should I try for the fun of it? Then again-- I'd hate to obtain a role and proceed to turn them down... UGH] (Really-- desire) Either that, or have my contract expire before I were to finally come of age. And so, sadly... I am unsure as to whether or NOT I'll be auditioning this year. Advice needed. But, hey!! If (and I stress if) I don't, I figure it'll give me the chance to improve TEN FOLD, take even more lessons, land several more leads (if lucky). And, as soon as I hit 17-- hit the deck. XD SA: Prepare yourselves!
PS-- "The Spring Standards": REALLY, Old Springs Pike? REALLY?!! Ah, well... a toast to your new "image". May it, uh-- bring you the best!
PPS: Johnny Gallagher Jr. - I just finished watching the Spring Awakening and Degrassi Live Verbal Mashup, and I find myself more in love with you with each passing moment... that is all. XD

That's right. I, Angela Griswold, have officially been cast (as of Sunday) as Bird Girl #1. My summer? Now 100% booked in it's entirety.
Boo-freakin'-yah. XD

Tonight was FUHS's own Annual Night of Stars/Thespian Induction Ceremony, a welcome to all new drama club additions, a farewell to that of the seniors, scholarship opportunities, and awards.
The International Thespian Soceity (official, I know) is merely a group of drama advisors whom keep track of our "thespian points", which we receive certain quantities of for scenes/shows/roles performed. Given these points, one is brought into the society as an official thespian at 10, marking them a One Star. (I myself am a Three) The more you chance and complete, the higher you rank, gaining more credits during that of high school graduation.
Tonight, however, was spent getting those of us freshman thouroughly conjoined with the other, most current drama students and club leaders, consisting of reciting the official thespian pledge, lighting celebratory candles, and receiving both roses and certificates. After blowing out our flames, several varied awards were given: first were to those whom assisted in one/all aspect(s) of our performances (parents, students, friends, etc.). We were then given plaques, based on several rounds of nominations (quite like that of MINI-TONYS!), for outstanding performances within both our fall and spring productions: The Sisters Rosensweig and On the Twentieth Century.
Ahem.
The Sisters Rosensweig
Oustanding Female Cameo - Angela Griswold.
Dear creative team of MTOC's Seussical the Musical: Stick that in your pipe and smoke it. XP
PS: Auditioned for Spring Concert today ("Green Finch and Linnet Bird"). Hoping all went well!
PPS: Alexandra Socha is FUCKING REDICULOUS. (Full review - 2.23.08 DVD - to come soon)
PPPS: Only 2 more days until Lea and Jon take forever from Spring Awakening the grace of their presence. F'in A... :[

6:00 - 6:55 PM: As they called in the first round of boys/girls to sing their pieces before the creative team, the rest of us were crowded within the church's main courtyard. We were taught, by both the choreographer, Allison, her daughter, and several other older girls our pre-lim. dance routine (set to that of "Biggest Blame Fool"). After running it more than a few HUNDRED times, numbers 46-54 were beckoned at last...!
7:00 - ? PM: Performed my piece (again: "All Grown Up", from Bare), along with the other children/adults (calls were that of anyone ages 8-25) called in beside me. I am pleased to say that I did quite well, though - when dancing... I blanked and forgot several large chunks of the routine. FUCK. But, I managed to play it off well enough that, after two hours waiting...
I GOT A CALLBACK FOR ONE OF "THE BIRD GIRLS".
Whut, whut. XD
Lol - though it wasn't for the role that I had initially hoped for (Gertrude McFuzz)... still-- I'm just so incredibly happy to (perhaps) be a part of such a wonderful team of both directors and actors!! And - being fourteen, and this my first attempt at any musical theater production outside of school WHATSOEVER: it's a pretty meaty part, and I only hope to dazzle them even more tomorrow (6 o'clock)!! Perhaps they'll even consider me for a deeper, higher role... XP Again-- wish me luck!!!!

Mother's Day Lunch: Chicken Ranch sandwich (covered in buffalo sauce, ranch - obviously - and layered with tomato), seasoned fries, and - for dessert - a Molten Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream?! DELISH'. *shudders*
24-Hour Theater: (First, an overview: 24-Hour Theater is an annual school workshop where 3 groups of writers - or in our case, 2 - spend the night in our Little Theatre and write several 30-minute one-act productions. Then, the following morning, actors whom signed up are called forth to spend the entire day learning both dialog and blocking untill seven o'clock that evening, whence we perform) Oh. My. GOD. Such a blast!! Well... 95% of the time!!
Actually... more like 85%.
Unfortunately, in the production written for my troupe, their weren't many female parts and, failing to speak up when the "male" leads were offered, Kayleigh and I were forced to remain ensemble... I'm sorry: "Hansen fangirls". LOL. I don't even wanna' get into detail about our performance! Let's just say... it was called Psycho-Stimulants and revolved entirely around 2 boys, six chapters of a book, a morgue (both skits had to take place within the same location), a drug-addict uncle, a time machine, a Hansen concert, death, and light-up Sketchers. End of story...
You can't even begin to imagine. Haha -it was still fun, though!
Mattchior/Jesschior DVDs: They arrived in the mail all but just a few days ago! Hilasdughefbldsibvhglsidyfgbsdliubvgf!!!
Scholarship Essay: Just yesterday, Mrs. Klein had offered scholarship acting lessons (worth $300 and over a course of 6-weeks) to 2 lucky students - one continuing on in theater and one graduating FUHS this year. Dedicated now more than ever to perfect my craft, I snatched an application and finished the qualification essay (one page) just several minutes ago. Wish me luck!!
Suessical the Musical Auditions: Tomorrow, 5:00 PM. Still unaware as to what I might sing, though deeply considering "All grown Up" from Bare. Again - wish me luck!! (Though, if anyone has any other suggestions for my piece, please-- FEEL FREE TO SHARE! Lol)
PS: I got's a new phone. WHUT, WHUT. Lol, well-- It isn't anything too spectacular (no camera or speaker phone capability), but it sure as hell is better than my previous one!! XP

1. Choir Audition: I... I dunno', I sort of d-don't really wanna'... get into it. Let's just say - it was quite obvious I was sick. (I continuously had to stop and cough between warm-ups, I had NO proper control over my breathing whatsoever... though my head voice was a tad ok) I'm hoping to speak to Mr. Hedgecock about it tomorrow and, if I can't manage to get a second chance, I'm hoping he'll at least understand my current situation and take into part my previous performances in both the class and concert... again - wish me luck. :[
2. Geometry: Lots, and LOTS of make-up work, a power-point project-- just... BARF.
3. Comedy/Improv was canceled. AGAIN. Ugh...
Unfortunately, said events caused major frustration, and said frustration caused a lil' bit of a breakdown. I know it seems silly of me to be so upset by such a simple audition (considering I wish to enter a business where rejection is a HUGE part of the reality), but... this is something I want to do for the rest of my life, and being a part of Vocal Ensemble would only both further and better my training! It's just... I don't know. It's hard at times, however much I try and convince myself that - truly - it isn't. But... I do feel a hell of a lot better after venting to both my friends and family, and I pray to every God in folklore that Mr. Hedgecock will take SOME sort of pity on me.
Though - lunch was hysterical, as always! XD
ALYSSA: (talking about her recent Spring Break in Ireland) We had all kinds of Irish animal friends that we named. We saw a reindeer and named him Pumpkin. We found a cat, took him in and named him Starbreeze. Snowflake - the baby cow, Marshmellow - the baby bird--
KAYLEIGH: Why wouldn't you name a sheep Marshmellow?
ALYSSA: Because the sheep's name was Skippy!!

ME: Marisa, may I please have a tater tot?
MARISA: (gesturing towards her tray) Sure.
ME: Well, I'm sick so... could you please pick one out for me and drop it in my hand?
MARISA: (doing so)
ME: (Popping it into my mouth and smiling) OWM (- weird food eating noise) - Thank you!
(Suddenly, Kayleigh and Laur burst out laughing)
MARISA: (raising an eyebrow) Umm... are you guys ok?
KAYLEIGH: We're laughing because Angela is funny.
ME: (grins through tater tot, causing the two to laugh even harder)
Hells to the yeah for funnies! Lol. (PS: Dinner was purdy good: sandwich wraps and home-made, low salt french fries. Can you say "yum"?! I can say "yum". YUM)
*Sigh* Well... again - if you could wish me your kindest words for a second hope, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you all so much for taking the time to listen. I pray tomorrow is a better day...
