Ugh.

LIFE.

It's killing me.

Week before finals week... CETA (The California Educational Theatre Association) festival/Master classes this entire weekend... AP Music Theory garbage... Spring Awakening's Sunday closing... sickness (cough, exhaustion, congestion, etc. etc)... reviewreviewreview... PMS... costume committee [1950's] research... obvious procrastination... feeling like being a moany bitch, haha.

Blarrrrrrrrggg.
I'm just... so-- ACKSDIUHFMNVJXHD this week. *shrugs* I don't think my energy has ever hit this much of a low before... and I'm not even all too sure why. Hmm. On the upside - however - my missing belt (and I mean VOCAL-wise, not pantaloon-wise, lol) has finally returned after approx. 2 days!! :D THHHHAAAAT, and boys have been strangely lovely towards me lately. One even walked me home today, which... well, never happens.

EVER.
Haha.

........ There was no real purpose in writing entry whatsoever, lulz :P

Damn Yankees auditions 6:00-9:00 tonight.
Angela Griswold: "Meg" #62.

.......

Pardon my French, but uh...

Effrayé. MERDE MOINS.
[Scared. SHIT LESS.]

Wish me luck... *eeeehhhhh* D:

PS: Guess who just got her very own .AVI(s) of the SA National Touring Cast's Opening Night?! .... TEE-HEE :D

And tonight's was the best of them yet. I'm... I'm so, SO terribly unprepared (and DREADING) tomorrow's closing matinee. Ironically? End. Of. Story.

Full review of the following performance, past shows, pictures, dance party extraordinare, and older-teen-between-shows-Seuss-PCP-perverted-pizza-picnic (whew, haha) soon to come, preferably after both family awards banquet/cast party. I apologiiiize: I know my posts have been... lacking magic lately, but I swear on Mother Mary that I will MOAR than just make it up in both photo and woobie dump :] For now? Too exhausted... too hyped... and yet all too hackin' bummed. G'night, all... <:(

<3

It's 4:21 in the morning and, have I - Misses Angela Griswold - had even but a wink of sleep? NO'M. This, my friends, is the reason in which why I curse my family's night owlage-- I mean, I have rehearsal tomorrow (our first week within the actual theatre)!! UGH. Speaking of rehearsal, our costume fitting was GLORIOUS on Saturday, even though the yellow of both my feathers and leotard cause me to gain a pretty close resemblance to that of Tweety Bird, lol. (Unfortunately, I couldn't manage any pictures; will show up shortly!)

Although, I strangely adore it; honestly, it's gonna' be quite fantastic-- the costume itself consists of (as stated aboooove) a leotard, with two layered feather boas of the same color across the bottom front. The boas then drape off the side of the outer thigh and gather again to layer/hang in threes upon the TUSH. Plus, we all got to choose differing trims (mine's all sequiny and gold-like, lol) and decide how we wanted them to be layered across our dresses-- the only downside?

My costume was (at first) missing it's frontal layers and, therefore, I had to pin the side feathers across my crotch... Yep.

Lololol, but they soon fixed that, and we now all look extremely FIERCE, if I do say so myself-- I'm incredibly excited for this production, and - in fact, if anyone happens to be in da' neighborhood from around July 24th-27th (which isn't the majority of ANY of you, but--! Lol) and wanting to see a throughly good community production, be sure to message me for the deets, haha. :D

Also on Saturday: Got a manicure [my first!] :) Bird Girl gold, so's my directors would manage no complaints, lol. It ended up pretty spiffy, however, and I was even given a complimentary hand massage/snacks-- for only 10 BUCKS! Woot, woot for bargain pampering! ;) What else... The Producers is my new favorite movie, SHUT UP. XP Got pj's that look like Wendla's lil' panty-like undergarments, which kind of excites me. PS: My mom's a complete and utter SA fangirl now, which is just about both the coolest-- and most funniest thing ever! OOH! Saw HellBoy 2 today - I highly recommend it. In fact, I am MOAR than just on board for them to make a third, ok?! Lol. :P

Other than that? I just can't sleep. At all. Stick a fork in it, I am DONE, haha :) For those of you whom have taken the time to read this rest-deprived babble of a post, I thank you kindly. I love you all and now - if you'll excuse me - I'ma turn up the smooth jazz (lol, I know I'm lame) and count me some sheepies. Ha, g'night sweetsies. Peace <3

UGH. After a most draining - and God awful - rehearsal... This pic (among others) MORE than just made my day-- though I know everyone's already had QUITE a field day with it (lol):





UNFFFFFFFFFFFF. YES.

I am MORE than just excited for this tour, now. XD SA Tour '08, baby!!!

PS: Lol. More suggestions perhaps, loves? (Thankies in advance!) - Ask me to take a picture of any aspect of my life that you're interested in/curious about - it can be anything from my DVD collection to my favorite pair of shoes. Leave your choice here as a comment, and I will reciprocate by taking the pictures and posting them as an entry. That way you get to know a little bit about my life.

**I apologize GREATLY in advance for the following vent, for auditions have yet to prove themselves a friend to me recently.

I didn't get my solo for Spring Concert. All of my friends (whom did try out, of course) received their's...

All - except for ME.

... I truly thought I had deserved it. And I'm tired of those who don't accepting them...! Though, perhaps I just wasn't right for this production; true-- I'm utterly glad for all of my buds whom are getting the chance to perform for the first/second time, considering that I had had my own piece during our Winter Concert. It's just--... UGH.

It's still disappointing. Especially when those around you don't care to acknowledge - wrapped up madly within their own contentment - the concept of tears pouring down your face [And yet I KNOW they'd feel the same]. (Yes, I cried. I felt the right to be a bit upset) Indeed, this shall be yet another humbling experience for me and I expect to learn a great deal from said experience; honestly... I don't mean to bitch and moan! I never meant to snap... It merely puts oneself into a dreadful, BEATING sort of mind-set, and-- It just, for lack of a better word, SUCKS. Majorly.

... But you know what? Our Cappies Acomendee/Nominee Ceremony took place this evening (just 2 weeks before the official gala). And you know WHAT?!

I GOT A MEDAL.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, ya'll. XD

I didn't make it into Vocal Ensemble...

And - as if my day didn't suck enough already - guess what?

Socha has been confirmed as the new proceeding Wendla.

FUCK MY LIFE.

Ugh.... today... was pretty much suckish. Worse than suckish - it. Was. Fucking. Awful.

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...

AGAIN.

Ugh, that voice lesson was tough on the ol' esophogus... I can't even get all the way through singing "Mama Who Bore Me" (which is for MEZZO-SOPRANOS) without sounding like my voice box was thrown in a blender!!!!!! And do you know what's funny? It's ONLY WHEN I SING. Poo.................

Ah, well. I should be good as new soon enough!! *Knock on wood* That is -- if can survive the last day of such a dog-gone boring week! Lol. Wish me luck! ;p

(And "well" too, if you don't mind!)
