Ok, so, on the way home from rehearsal today, Mara asked me if it was possible for me NOT to laugh for one whole minute. So I tried. It didn't work. I think I lasted about 45 sec at most! But she was telling me a funny story! IT WASN'T FAIR! No, but really, I wonder how my friends tolerate me. I laugh almost ALL the time. And its awful cuz I have a terrible laugh! I sound like a dieing hyena! Or a hyena that is choking on something..... I've been trying really hard to adjust it. cuz right now, its awful. But yeah, my friends totally rock. I am down right annoying and they still love me! How awesome is that?!
I had a wonderful day today. it was the third day in a row that is has been sunny and I enjoyed it with all my heart. I got to sit on the grass and read Mattimeo! and that alone made my day awesome.
Rehearsal today was really fun. even though I wasn't actually needed....... I didn't know that though! I came and then I found out that we weren't doing any scenes that I am in. So I ended up just watching and hanging out with my friends. But it was still a lot of fun. And I found out what kind of costume I am going to wear! So I am really excited about that.
Oh oh oh! I have some really happy news! I am OFFICIALLY doing crew for Beauty and the Beast! WHOOPEE! I am so so so so excited. It will be really fun to crew for this show because the sets are going to be REALLY big and extravagant. It is going to be SO much fun. Come and see it! You are really going to miss out if you don't. Cuz it is going to rock. Yes, even though I am not IN it. *sigh* :) You can get tickets at www.cytspokane.com
Oh, and I have a prayer request. My older sister Dana is graduating on May 11th and she is a little stressed out, so if you could pray for her and my whole family, that would be awesome. Thank you!

*buzzz buzzz buzzz..........SPLAT!*
hee hee! I am a little punchy right now! ha ha!
You know what tragic thing happened to me this week? On Monday I was incredibly sick. Not just a little sick, REALLY sick. I had to skip rehearsal because of it. I stayed on the couch ALL day and when I tryed to stand up, I felt like my legs were going to fall off. It was really, really weird. My mom thought I had the mumps. That's how awful I looked. It was TERRIBLE. She took me to the Doctors and they told me I had a fever, ( like I didn't know that already! ) and some other things about what they thought I had. And then they gave me a bunch of Meds and sent me home. Woopie! ( And no, I don't have the mumps, thank goodness.)
Yesterday morning I was feeling A LOT better then I had the day before. Its amazing how my health goes up and down like that. One day I will be feeling like trash, and then next I will be bouncing of the walls! Well, I wasn't bouncing off the walls, but I sure was feeling incredible compared to Monday. But my mom had me stay home from rehearsal again because some how she knew I was going to feel really crumby during the hours that I would have been at rehearsal. For the rest of the day, I was curled up in my bed reading some very good books. It was perfectly wonderful. (besides the fact that I was feeling crumby)
Today I was feeling just fine and I was pretty sure I would be able to go to rehearsal. I was really excited. And then guess what happened? The Drama teacher called and said that rehearsal was canceled. I wasn't very happy. But I had actually had a really good day. I got a lot of time reading and I got to be with my family some. I even got to go to the library! I guess God knew that I needed a break this week. It was a really good break besides me being sick. If all goes as planed, I will go to rehearsal tomorrow and everything will be back to normal. Ok, probably not. but what ev. :D
Good night!

Oh Middle School students.
Yesterday I had another rehearsal. Almost all the cast was there so we got a lot done. But oh my gosh, everyone was SO hyper! It was hysterical. I don't think we've ever had a rehearsal like that. It was so weird and so fun. I don't know how to explain it. I guess all it is, is middle school. I have decided I really like being in middle school. I am having such a good time! If I could spend my whole life in one age, I would choose middle school. It might be really annoying for other people, but it sure is a blast for us. I am dreading turning 13 in four months. I used to really want to be 13. But now I just want to stay 12 forever. I know that 13 is still technically in middle school, but it's just not the same. I guess I could be wrong. It could be just the same. But I doubt it. *sigh* I know I am going to miss this stage.

why!?
It snowed this morning. Can you believe it?! Dude, it's the bigging of April! I WANT SPRING!
I went to the library today! That made me very happy. I have two new books to read now! Mossflower, and another one about the Civil War called Rifles for Watie. So I am excited. :D
Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE empty books? Like journals or anything that has nothing but a bunch of empty pages. They are one of the many things that make me very happy. I especially like the ones that have pretty covers. I love journaling. I started journaling when I was about eight, but I didn't start really getting in to it and writing frequently till I was about ten. I love to look back and see What happened today last year. It's also really fun to see how different I am from then. It's kind of like looking at a old picture of your self and being amazed at how different you look. Except with a journal, it's so much more then just how you look. It's how you write, it's how you look at things, how you've grown. So yeah. It's pretty cool.
Bye for now!

Happyness is....
A beautiful sunny day! I am in a very good mood. There isn't a cloud in the sky. It makes me want to run around the yard singing. :D
My sisters went back to school on Monday. Blaaah. They should have Sun Days as well as Snow Days. Days where it is too sunny and beautiful to be cooped up in school. So they let school out. Maybe when people get a clue, there will be a day like that. Someday....
The grass is starting to grow in our back yard. Happy times. The flowers are coming up too. *SIGH* Life is good.
I go to make cookies. :)

Theater.....theater........THEATER!
It's been so long since I've posted. I don't really know where to start! Well, on Friday I had my audition for Beauty and the Beast. Oh my gosh I have never had such fun at an audition. It was a BLAST. I sang Happy Birthday and did wonderfully. The dance audition was amazing. I love the choreographer. She totally rocks. And I did wonderfully in that one too. :D There were SO many amazingly talented people auditioning. It was so fun. I have never had an audition like that. I wasn't very nervous when we got there. But when I was on the bench before I went up I was totally shaken up and nervous. Clara said I was turning redder by the minute. But I pulled it off and it was great! I hope I can audition for the next show they are doing. Peter Pan! It is going to be awesome.They are going to fly! I am excited.
So anyway. The next day was Callbacks. And to my dismay I did not get called back. I was really hopping I would get a chance to try out for Mrs. Potts. But I guess that was not what they had in mind for me. I must admit that I was really upset. REALLY REALLY upset. The rest of my day was just really awful. I put my self in a bad mood and I couldn't get out of it. I did eventually, but before that, it was awful. That night when the cast list was about to go up, I had a little prayer time. I asked for the grace to except what ever I got of did not get, and to know that God had something else in mind for me that was even better then being in a CYT play if I didn't get in. When I was done I hit the "refresh" button, and the cast list popped up.
Cast list.
As you can see, My name is not on there. But god gave me the amazing grace to be okay with it. I was completely relaxed and even happy. I didn't mind so much that I wasn't cast. I was sort of relieved.
I am really excited about doing crew. I love crew. I think I am going to sign up for Backstage. I might do Props again, but only if they need me to do that. It's going to be a lot of fun.
Ok. Now, about the other play I told you about. It is going very well. I got the part and I am enjoying it very much. My charictor is named Mavis Greadly. I am a shy, mousy kind of person. It's a really big switch for me cause I am FAR beyond shy. I am a very loud kind of person. I have 22 lines and I am about 60 years old. Fun stuff. Beyond that, I can't tell you anything. I swore I wouldn't tell anyone anything about the play. It's a surprise. :D But it's a really fun play and everyone who reads this needs to come. :) Next week we are going off book. I am working on memorizing my lines. I have never had over three lines in my entire theater experience, so this is a new thing for me. :D Its all fun.
So yeah. This is going to be a very fun three months. God is good.

*GASP*
I might be doing two shows at the same time. Wow.
Ok, so heres whats going on. My friends school is doing this play called Murder by Indecision and apparently they where really desperate for actors. So the other day I was chatting with her and she's like "Hey! Are you interested?!" And then some how everything worked out and I am going to a read for the drama teacher on Monday! I am really excited.
And then I am going to do Beauty and the Beast for CYT. Lots of fun. But it sure is a big bite to take. Rehearsals for the school play is Mon-Thu and then on the weekends are the B&B rehearsal (provided I get in) plus CYT classes on Thursdays. So I'm going to be gone almost all week. We might have to drop CYT which makes me extremely sad. But maybe not. HOPEFULLY not.
So yeah. Crazy crazy crazyness.
More to come............. :)
