Wait wait wait did I never update you guys on my region theatre piece

I don't remember

Well.

It's a contemporary scene with me and a guy. It's from a play called Love/Sick, and it's the scene called What?! If you actually do your research (don't, it takes scudding forever to find it) but yes, it is originally a scene between two gay guys. And yes, I'm still a straight girl. But our director cut a few lines and changed a character's name from Ben to Beth, so it works. 

Anyway, it's such a sweet, funny, awkward scene.

And the guy I'm doing it with is also doing it awesome, and we're both almost memorized, which is great. But it's so funny because it's going from us having spoken never, maybe once, to...ok so I say the words "I love you" six times. I say "I think you're really great." I say "I want to get somewhere. With you." And so many other things just like that (yes, this scene is less than 10 minutes) and it's so funny.

Anyway...I'm excited to perform it, and even practicing it is just so fun. 

In other news, I finished The Will of the Many at about 2am (I think it was recommended in one of Thaid's SU's, I don't remember who though...) It was good, I liked it. Musical theatre is going lovely, our choreo and vocals are all super hard, but they're coming. I had a debate tournament Friday, and while I didn't place, I was also in a round with the 3 people who got the podium, and it was my first time doing open oratory and not novice, and I gave my speech better than I have before.

Hmm what else...oh yeah, I also had an hour long discussion about semicolons with someone that was weirdly fun, we also started discussing our favorite torture methods, genocides, character traumas, and made bets on how long it'll take before our search histories get us arrested. 

I'm good.

Life is crazy, but I'm good.

OH OH OH OH OH AND OUR CONCERT WAS FANTASTIC WE HAD HUGE AUDIENCES BOTH NIGHTS AND EVERYONE DID AWESOME. The soloists are all so good, but one of them completely stole the show, he was singing I am Aldopho from The Drowsy Chaperone, and he was literally wearing a black jacket with roses embroidered on it (his jacket that he's also worn to school because he can) and a red cape. He's one of the best actors at our school, and like...top 10 guy singers, maybe top 5. All the music was so good though and I'm so glad I got to be a part of it, even though it added a lot of stress.

Aaaaand yeah there's a really unnecessary update on my life. How are you guys doing?

One family.
