oh man. let's start with snip its, cuz that's as far as i can remember. right. so, snip its was really fun this year. after not being in school on monday for Martin Luther King Jr. day, and missing the whole of Tuesday's schooling for in-school last minute rehearsal-chaos, it came along so much better than everyone expected. for the most part, NO ONE recognized me when i set foot onstage during the first half of the show, which was basically 4 periods [including the repitition of the opening of Act I for 8th]. that was cool. i finally got my prosthetics done, and was able to pull off the transformation scene. yayy. i think the awesomest thing, though, was when kaity's molestation scene came on, and the entire period that came were catcalling like crazy. beasts. the lucky ones that saw the snip-its in my classes were all like 'hey, rapping's cool' and i'm all 'yes, yes it is.' = ]
so, the school day before opening night was really weird for me because i wasn't really excited or nervous about the coming night. i totally bombed the economics midterm, since i haven't set foot in that class for ... oh, a week? yeah. that too. the social issues final was fantastically simple. that made me smile. the rest of the day was cake. i love being a senior. teehee. the best was when JordanRom was all 'oh man, when that guy and that chick got together in the show..' and i was like 'KAITYDAVIE?' and he's like 'oh right, i forgot she was in it.' dorkkkk. then i went home after school, finished The Da Vinci Code [<3] and slept for an hour. when i went to school for calltime, WE HAD A DANCE PARTY SINCE WE HAD AN HOUR TO KILL. i love our cast, Time warp, thriller, and BSB. lovelovelove. one of the best parts of my night consisted of jumping up and down on that stage and Kelleher looking at us from the lighting booth making the lights do crazy club-like things. ahahha. awesome. ok, opening night was phenom. i broke my staff on rapunzel's castle, and crew came to the rescue with masking tape. i couldn't stop laughing backstage so much that i almost missed my next entrance. MASKING TAPE<3333. frankenburg[sp?] broke a drum. silly nilly. i think that it was probably one of the greatest opening nights ever. east kids are LOVEEEEE. everyone who watched had so many nice things to say, and there were things said that i really appreciated. when it comes to me performing, i take everything with a grain of salt. it made me really happy that i exceeded their expectations. Eff that, i'm glad that i exceeded my own damn expectations. i'm just glad that i proved to myself that i can actually do it. i had madd asians at my house later that night, and that was incredible.
the school day before the second night, on the other hand, was madness. social issues part II essay[s] made my hand cramp, i bombed also part II of the Economics test [blargh, comstock] and i left school early during 6th period because my mother is lovely. i slept for 3 hours, and it was glorious. OH! best thing though? we watched ON THE TOWN in symph because murph decided to give us a break. i love herrrr. we sang along to EVERYTHING, and everyone hated us. screw 'em. lol. ann miller is love. dani adinolfi thinks she can learn the hardcore tap dance that she does in her scene. pshh. good luck with that dani, it's my fav old movie ever and i've watched it so many damn times, yet even I can't figure it out.
the second night was, in a word, wonderous. ANOTHER DAMN DANCE PARTY, yet again. this time, major cotton eyed-joe and chacha slide-age. no booty drop though, i missed it again. sad. on a lighter note, nothing broke, for one. another thing, i succeeded in making hoffman cry during one of my songs. hehehe. also, my aunt taped the show with her professional-ness, so now i can actually SEE what all the fuss is about. BEST PART OF MY NIGHT- this random chick, after the show, attacks me and goes 'do it.' and i'm like '...what?' and she's like 'do it. do it.' and shoves her phone in my face. she recorded me saying 'what are ya doin' and now it's her ring tone. sweeeet. lol. celeb status is FUNNNN. le sigh. sari comes up to me and goes 'oh my god, i GET IT!! you're telling your mom to take you away in the song!!' and i'm like 'we have one night left, man. it's about time, sari.' i ate cake. it had bernice on it. And in it. heh. then Fez and Meg kidnapped me and i gave pat and kaits a hernia/ heartattack? yeah. we went to friendly's, and SURPRISE SURPRISE kelli brady's clan was there, that was good. didn't we burn something here in this parking lot? hahahaha. OH OH OH, and freakin' Kris Vicencio showing up randomly? that was freakin' awesome. especially since i greeted him 'You HOMO! what are you doing here?' ahahahaha. RIFF(T)ING. AHAHAHA. joyous. i'm in love with everything life's throwing at me. lordy lordy, i'm gonna cry my little eyes out tomorrow, but i'm NOT gonna forget my camera like i did tonight and I WILL take ridiculous amounts of pictures and there WILL be crazy pranks going on since Ms. Jean isn't here to threaten us and KELLEHER is cool. bwahahahah. Crew? i'm scared. i have no idea what's up you're sleeve, but nevertheless, i'm expecting christian and a box somewhere in there. :wink: um. freakin' A man, our closing night is tonight. that's ridic. i'm really upset it's all coming to a close. everything about this production has been magical, and i'm not gonna lie when i say that i'm gonna miss it. the saddest thing of our second night, after the bows, was when kelleher hugged me and said 'there's only one more of these left.' yepp. that's right. and it's gonna be amazing. i know it. it's bittersweet, really; i can't wait, but, i don't want it to come so that it doesn't end. ah life, silly little thing.
PS- for the record. brett bretterson wins in the best voice mails ever. my fav? "...it was the best performance, by far. even better than, ya know, justintryingtoactstraight." he said it like that too, really fast, smushed together and everything. ahahaha GENIUS. k i'm done.
