At last, I post.

I'm stage manager for the spring show! Granted, at first I was very, very, very dissapointed. It is THE FIRST show I have EVER auditioned for that I did not get a part. I haven't always accepted the part given - not cause I hated it, but for other life reasons - but I have never, in my life, not made a cast list. Little depressing. But I made stage manager. And now I'm crazy happy about it. I love power. Suckers...I WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE A LIVING PIT OF LAVA!! Take my part will ya? Just wait...juuust wait...*cackles evily*

*AHEM* Just kidding. I would never use my power for evil. That would be...unethical. And you know it! Seriously though, I'm really glad I have the S.M. position. I want to direct theatre someday anyway, so this would logicaly be a good place to start, eh? Yeah. You know it. Just have to get past the whole stage obsession thing and love the crowds attention and be happy with making other people good enough for the crowd to love them...as much as they loved you. *sobs* BWAHAHAHAAAAAA!! I amuse myself...

Ooo! I found a graduation picture of me and Allen! Sixth, I forgot you didn't know. Allen is the boyfriend. The non-retarded boyfriend. That I have know for a very long time, is my brothers best friend, works for my dad, whose mother is friends with my mother, whose father is in the military, who was on the soccer team I captained, who has been my "little brother" for a long time until he suddenly wasn't one day. And who I have thought of as "Non-little brother" for a couple years, but never said anything. Until he did. *laughs*

Anyways. Here is graduation.





















That picture is rather tiny. I wonder if you click it, if it will get bigger. Hmm...plus! *BWAHAHAHAA!* I found a picture and was starring at it, trying to figure out why the heck I wore a skating arm band with a huge pink star on it to my gradution. I was pretty much over the skater-chick phase at that point. Until I realized...oh...I had folded up my speech and stuck it in there cause I didn't have any other way to carry it onstage. *sniggers* I will never forget the looks on people's faces as "Mission Impossible" started playing when we walked in. Never forget it...
Oooo..Here is the "hidden speech" paper. And my mom. But you can't really see her...






















And while I'm posting pictures, might as well post a few more...I love computer without dial-up...anyways. This is the real me coming out there. That what I love about Topeka people. They just make me so happy!!



















Plus it is after 2:00 a.m. and I'm watching Gilmore Girls.

Ahahaa! I had sword today and it was the class where we are supposed to know our new forms and be able to do them with skill and stealth and yada yada yada. So I go, and the second cut I make which has a weird hand switching motion in it, my sword goes flying out of my hand across the room. I haven't dropped my sword in a long time. At least not in class. It was a little...yeah. *grins* At least I didn't hit the Master with it. Like that one time.

Ok, so the last testing for a grey belt
that I saw, they blindfolded the guy and four people were attacking. Including the Master. Guess what I test for next? Yeah. Grey belt. I rememer that today while I'm practicing and mention it to my Dad and Grandpa who were at home, doing some remodeling. Immidiatly they both get really serious and start giving me advice and this and that telling me what I need to be doing. Grandpa starts pulling up old stories about blind people who could "kick the pants off of" criminals. My little brother Micah is like "Shell, I'll help train you. Go get a blindfold and we will start now." so I spent some of my afternoon blindfolded while my brother would make a cut really close to me and I would have to block it. And he would move and I had to hear where he was moving and be able to hit him. I wasn't that bad for never doing it before. Really. I was surprised. So I'm all kinda excited when I get done. I am so ready to start training blindfolded and I know that I won't die when I test, if I just keep traning for it for the next month or two. But I wanted to make sure. So I ask Master today if my next belt is the blindfold test. He looks at me and kinda laughs and is like "No." and I said "I just remember that Grey belt was when Gerry had to." and he laughs really hard and was like "That was sort of payback for Gerry. I wouldn't do it to you, I don't think. He was a very dissrespectful student. " and I admit, I was a little dissapointed. I will still train for it though. It is something that will help my sparring. Which I need. Except for the one time, my sparring is kinda pretty much terrible. I don't even know what happened that one day. Anyways...That is a REALLY long post. (Happy, Carol? Hehehehee...sorry I couldn't go to the movie with you today. I really seriously am just too poor to go to movies. Or buy food. Or clothes. I have money for gas, and thats it. Thats all. The rest goes to Chicago trip, or speeding tickets, or car payments, or martial arts payments. Its a little depressing sometimes...like when people want to do things that will cost me a lot of gas or any extra money. Cause I can't do them).

Love ya! Miss me!

p.s. I refuse to spell check today. Just because I can.

I posted...and then it deleted my post...so I give up. I don't even remember what I said. So, does this mean I have to update too?

sixth lie said...

i havent read the whole thing yet but i have to ask. Topeka is a real place? I really never saw that coming.

What good is having power if not to use it to serve your evil whims? - I'm disappointed in you. I demand you use your powers to serve your evil deeds and don't act like you don't have any. If you really don't have any, use your powers to serve my evil desires. note, i did not say scheme. Proper evil geniuses do not scheme.

Lendiel said...

yes, topeka is a real place. I have been there...I think it's the capital of Kansas...yes it's the capital.

random/inappropriate comment.

based on the assumption that yelling chick is shell, she's a lot cuter than i imagined her to be. I think my brain discriminates against people from Kansas. I would like to apologize to all good looking people in Kansas. To ugly ones, you're just perpetuating what I already think of you.

Lendiel said...

Oooo, shell, he thinks you're cute! And don't worry, sixth, I had this really bad stereotype of kansans before I moved here too. I was petrified that moving to kansas would turn me into a hick. But thankfully, my California blood has prevented that. I wanna post, yet I don't....`

sixth lie said...

well, i'm glad that stereotype has been cleared up for me before i have to move there. i am a city kid and the only only city i've heard of in kansas is metropolis and i'm sure that's imaginary.

Lendiel said...

I thought that was on the coast...ah well.

Shell, I just wanted to let you know that you are an awesome fanfiction person writer, and I will never leave you as a beta/queen of editors. Anyway, ihaveanotherauthorbutdontgetmadbecauseyouarestillthebestandiwillneverleaveyoueverever.

i got bored and work and was rifling around and was disappointed to learn, you don't like sushi.

i think thats because you haven't had sushi with the right people [ie. me and my people] or the right place [mall sushi is crap] because you have to ease into sushi. baby steps.if you're ever in toronto, we'll go.

and no, this is not an andy-esque attempt at a pick up.

Lendiel said...

shell!! I have MSN messenger now!

Lendiel said...

WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!!! You apparently have not nearly so much to do, yet you haven't updated it months! Literally.

Sixth, since Shell isn't taking the time to update, I shall tell you all the goings-on around here. Well, Shell got to do openign night of "Much Ado About Nothing," but then the next morning when she was practicing a koryo-whatever kick, she dislocated something in her knee and yelled the f word in front of a bunch of little kids (which she never ever does). So, as a result, she couldn't do the other 2 performances of the show and the director had to fill in.
I think that's the really big stuff, so there's her update!

~Carol
p.s. She and Allen aren't an item anymore because she was tired of dating a 12 year old.
