Post Opening Night

Act I...

Ah yes. The joy. The lights. The...DOOM! I really, really, really don't know how it went. I know it wasn't done as well as I could. I'm loosing my voice even worse than I was yesterday. The other main character and I had to sing for Kawanas today. We sang a capella. We took it down an entire octive. It was amusing. But our sound man didn't show up and Shelby (other main guy) has totally lost his voice as well. It's going to be SO bad tonight.

But I will survive! Hardly anyone was there last night. BUT!! AHA!!! We had way, way, way fun after the show. So, Carol, Rachel, Justin, Sean, Logan and I wanted food or something, and we weren't ready to sleep yet. But there is nothing to do at that late of an hour. So, we settled for McDonalds and sneaking into the park after hours to play on the play set.

You have to picture this in your mind. Two freshman in college, a senior, junior and two sophmores in highschool...playing in the park on the little kids toys. It was highly amusing. I have pictures. I will post them when I get them back. They burried Justin in the rubber/wood chips that cover the ground. It was highly amusing. Then we had a speeding session around the park during which Rachel and Logan were yelling to go faster, Carol was freaking out that we needed to slow down, and Justin and Sean were in the back screaming for their mommies.

So, we dropped Rachel off and Carol convinced us all to come to her house for coffee. So we did. But by this time, it is really really late...or rather, early. But her parents were ok with it so we came in and made coffee - which something screwed up and it ended up all over the counter and floor. 12 cups of it. So we switched to hot chocolate- and sat on her living room floor playing with Kenex and polly pockets. Yes, polly pockets. It was hysterical. We were laughing so hard. And Sean kept stealing my Kenex and I was trying to get them back...and it didn't work. So I took out my trusty knife to threaten him with it, and he was like "Here. Stab me right here." and points to his knee while scooting over to give me a better shot.

So I'm sitting there, poised to stab...and Justin and Logan came running over and hover like, 2 feet away from my face, waiting for the knife to plunge and Sean to yelp. Carol grabs my hand and says "No Shell! Don't do it! Ahh! Don't!"

"But...but..."

Justin starts laughing "You can't do it."

Logan is like "Come on Shell. I dare you to stab him."

"She can't do it. She won't."

"Do it!"

"She can't!"

Sean is just sitting there, smiling. I'm really temped to stab him, just to prove that I would and could and will do what I say I'm going to do. But I couldn't. Just couldn't. So sad. Too bad.

And now, Carol and I need to work on changing this song to a monologue because I sound sssoooo bad when I sing it. I'm not at the point where I can sing a song like that and make it sound good. Its supposed to be a funny song, but I just can't make it sound good. Whoever wrote the music was not...smart.

Ah. Carol. The voice of reason in my life.
"Shell! Don't go fast around the park!"
"Shell! Don't stab him!"
"Shell! Change the song!"
"Shell! Come and drink tea!"
"Shell! Rest that voice!"
"Shell! Come and drink coffee at my house!"
"Shell..."
Ummm....lemme think. Ok. Not all that reasonable.

I have to leave and work on this song though...but its adictive...blogging....blogging is funner than fun. I enjoy it. I enjoy having the time to do it. BUT! I totally need to stop and practice sword because I didn't at all this week and my instructor is going to kill me!!!

Later
