the thoughts of a Cc on a lovely summer evening.

Goodness... It's been quite awhile since I've been on here. I feel like a looser.... you know what I've been doing instead of blogging? facebook-ing. it's horrible. hahaa. It's just another way to stalk friends. But I looooove it. I should take a brake from it for awhile.. :P
But anyway, believe it or not I've actually been insanely busy. I'm teaching swimming again down at SCC. that's been a BLAST. that started about three weeks ago. It's been such a amazing experience. I love love love working with those kids. they make me so happy. and I love the other people I work with. we have such fun together. :)

Most of the Aids. we rock. :) I'm the one in the middle.

Karen and Clara are leaving for college next month. *Sigh* that's gonna be really hard. but exciting. I can tell I'm going to be doing a whooole lot of growing up this year. it's gonna be intense. but I'm excited. I'm ready for a change. :)

hmm.... I didn't ever talk about "Joseph" did I? well, that closed in the beginning of June. It was a pretty good show as far as the acting and the technical stuff goes. But it was a very bitter sweet experience for me. kind of a culture shock, really. there were some really nasty things going on behind the scenes. and there were also some really fun things. but it was very hard. I had to sleep for two days after it closed because it was just sooo draining both emotionally and physically. I don't want to get in to any details so as not to hurt any feelings. but yeah. It was not fun a lot of the time. :-/ The next show I will be auditioning for will be Theater Arts for Children's production of The Secret Garden. I'm auditioning with my little sister. that should be a lot of fun. that will be sometime in the fall. I'm not quite sure when. I should probably check that... hahaha. I'm pretty excited. it will be fun to try out another theater group. :) so that's where I am in the theater world.

Rehearsal
Mega-mixx!

I think that's about it... We went to a family reunion a few weeks ago. It was sooooo much fun. I love my family so much. :) It was up at a lake resort somewhere up north. about three hours away from spokane. it was really really nice to be away from the city for awhile. I got to spend a whole week and a half with my fabulous cousins who I pretty much NEVER see because they live on the other side of the country. haha. it's was just fantastic. :)

The Hudon's

The Lake. :)
A pretty awesome picture of my cousins on the doc.... LOL

I hope you all are having a fantastic summer. I must away to do some cleaning.. yuuuck. :) I'll try to post more often. hehe.

Auditions.

One minute of my life. I was on stage for 60 seconds and then I was sitting back in my seat almost crying because I was so glad it was over. I did very well. I sang "What is this Feeling" from wicked. also known as "Loathing". I switched songs a few hours before I got in the car to go. but it was a good reason to switch. the one I was going to sing was "For Good" from wicked. it's a beautiful and powerful song, but it's slow. when you audition, sometimes it's better to sing a high energy song to get the jitters out of you when you get on stage. I'm really glad I switched. I had a blast. Loathing is a REALLY fun song to sing. you can just belt it and nobody even cares if you sound good. it's just a fun upbeat song and it's fun to listen to. I got on staged and I was scared to death, but I was having so much fun it didn't really matter. I got a few laughs out of the directors. My voice cracked a few times but I kept going. which is something I have a really hard time with. it was really a victory for me to ignore my mastaics and keep going. I think that was God. lol The dance audition was fun. it was hard, but fun. I never do very well on dance auditions. But I had fun and made it LOOK like I knew what I was doing.. hahahaha. :)
So yeah. Altogether it was a wonderful audition. I'm very proud of my self and I think I did a great job. I didn't get called back the next day, but that was alright. saturday night I got a call. I'm cast. and I am so so so happy. I'm just in the Chorus, but I don't care. I'm cast. one of CYT's motos is "there are no small parts, just small actors." It's going to be a amazing show and EVERYONE should come. they cast 110 kids. can you believe that?! 110 kids! usually they only cast 60 or 50. I don't think they've ever gone to 100 before. it's gonna be insain, but amazing and magical. I can't wait. so yes. GO BYE TICKETS!!!! www.cytspokane.com :)

:D

Auditions are today you guys!!!! your prayers are needed right now. I get really really nervous. so please pray for my peace. Thanks! I'll blog soon and tell you how it goes.

Love, Cc

Theater update!!!

I'm OFFICIALLY doing "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat"!!! CC IS HAPPYYYY!!!

Phwaaaaa

THANK GOD FOR THE SUN TODAY!!!!!!! Aaaaah it was so lovely. Me, my mom, my older sister, and my little brother went on a walk downtown to Aunties Book Store. It was lovely. the sun was shining and riverfront park was just gorgeous. the river was beautiful. Unfortunately I completely forgot to bring my camera. :P It was a wonderful walk. We walked in to the book store and was welcomed by the wonderful smell of new and used books. Cc was very happy. ;) And I got a book! It's called The Boggart by Susan Cooper. It's VERY good. :) One of my favorites.

speeeeaking of books! I've been reading quite a lot lately. thats probably one of the reasons why I haven't posted in awhile. I got around to reading Eragon! ( I did it kathryn! lol) ... I laughed through the the first few chapters... I'm sorry... It's terribly written! But it was written by a 15 year old, so what do you expect, you know? But I tried to look past the bad writing and just focus on the story. and I got through it. I found that the characters were VERY underdeveloped to the point where I didn't care at all when Brom died. Eragon was a whiny complainer. he would throw hissy fits ALL THE TIME. It got pretty annoying. It wasn't a bad story though. if someone took the plot and rewrote the whole thing, it would be a pretty good book and might even make it to my favorites list. But I was unimpressed. I must confess that I enjoyed it enough that I might pick up the next book in a few months. But I'm really not in a hurry. :)
I've also been reading a lot of historical fiction. thats been a lot of fun. I found a author that I like a lot. her name is Elisa Carbone. I just love the way she writes. I just read a book by her called "Stealing Freedom" About a little slave girl who escapes through the Underground railroad. It was very good. :)

I get to see CYT's Cinderella! I'm soooo excited! I might be auditioning for a show next month. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. :) I loooove that show. the music is amazing. :) I'm pretty excited. I really hope I can do it. and if I can't, there is another show my friends dad is directing. so I might audition for that too. :) So many shows, so little time. hehe.

A person's a person. no matter how small.

Where to start..

I'm just going to start writing and see what comes out. :D
Well, I'm back! I haven't written since last year. weird. *sigh* not a lot has happened in the first month of this year. my sisters have been traveling a lot and, as usual, I've been left at home. I've got cabin fever. I haven't done anything fun with my friends since new years. which wasn't that long ago but it feels like forever. Time is going by very slowly. I want to do something exciting. I guess that's kind of my choice tho. I could mope around the house wishing I was doing theater, or hanging out with my friends, or I could find something exciting to do on my own around the house. I think I should start taking walks. but I'm kind of afraid of stalkers ( I HAVE been stalked before. not fun) so I don't know if that's such a good idea. and plus I can't do that most of the time because the weather's been so terrible and gloomy that I don't want to go outside at all. *sigh* I need a attitude adjustment. I have been very very grumpy lately. I need to get out of it. fast. I hate being in bad moods. It's all very frustrating. I want to be happy. I need to learn how to control my mood swings. Karen says it's my choice whether or not I'm in a bad mood. I have the power to pull my self out of it. I can CHOSE to be in a good mood. and I believe her and everything. I just haven't learned how yet. *sigh* I feel like I've written all this before. I probably have. arg. I'm having a lot of nasty teenager feelings right now. but I'm going to ignore them and think of the wonderful things that have happened to me in the past few weeks. I got to go to my cousins house today. I love them. I had a really really good time. we went over because they were having a super bowl party. I'm not really a big fan of football. at all. It kind of freaks me out. I don't really see the point of running in to each other and then running and then getting tackled. it seems like a very silly game. so I didn't end up watching the game. instead I hung out with my cousins in their rooms. and I really enjoyed my self. I haven't had that good of a time with them in awhile. It was very nice. I'm very tired now. :)
On friday I got to go to Mozart's Magic Flute with my daddy. it was fantastic and beautiful. I had a really good time. I love the music in that opera. It's a good show. and it's nice that it's such a silly children's opera. it almost makes no sense at all. very amusing. :P The talent was wonderful. they all had beautiful voices. and it was just really nice to be somewhere with my dad. I don't get to be alone with him very often. :P I had a very good time.

I HAVE been reading a lot!! I read a LOVELY Historical fiction book called "Blood on the River" I really loved the way it was written. it's by Elisa Carbone. and it's quite wonderful. It's about a boy who is page to Captain John Smith. It's a very sweet and exciting book. I have decided I really like historical fiction. XD

Ooooh I really should be getting to bed. I'm very tired. I don't really have anything else to write about. I feel bad tho cuz I haven't written in so long. oh I know. I'll post pictures.

My lovely little brother.

"are ya comin Cc?"
