So the play went REALLY WELL. We had Senior Circle like three days before the last show, which is where all the seniors in the show go around in a circle & say something touching. Now, I'd been an emotional wreck all week, but this was too much. I started thinking about how much I would miss theater after high school, and all the friends I've made because of it. Honestly, I would have way less friends if I weren't in theater productions. So when it was my turn, I didn't say anything cause I was trying not to cry. Then, I literally exploded in tears. I hate crying in front of people, but this time, I had no control, and it was scary. It scared everyone else too. People don't know what to do when I cry. Eventually I reeled my emotions back in and spat out something about how theater helped me make friends & how Sarah boo was the one who prompted me to try out for my first musical. But those emotions :( everyone kept asking me for the rest of the night if I was okay.. Then after the last show we all went to Chili's, but at that point I was like "I'm tired of being around all you jokers, I wanna get in my bed." So that was that.
Now we have Seussical coming up! It's a bunch of plotlines & characters from Dr. Seuss books put to music! I want to be the Sour Kangaroo. It's a lead part. I'm not saying that all seniors are entitled to a lead part simply because it'll be our last show, but that's one reason why I deserve it. That and the fact that I'm damn good. I have the Sour Kangaroo's part memorized, and the songs! I told Hollomon that and he reacted somewhat positively, of course it was about 7:45am but still. I hope desperately for this part! I feel like I've waited long enough for a lead role. I always get crappy parts. But this year I'm so ready for auditions. I've sung the audition song a million times. Everyone I asked thought I would make a great Sour Kangaroo. She's the leader of the Jungle of Nool, and she thinks Horton is an idiot for thinking that people are living on a clover. She thinks she's right about everything which isn't really my personality, but I could definitely play it well! She's sassy and has gospel vocals, which I am definitely capable of. I honestly don't see anyone at our school getting that role except me. I just have to throw down, kick some ass, and totally WRECK at auditions so I can be sure I've got the part. Pray that I get it guys!
I've been really busy since school started. The play, homework & tests, college applications, not to mention living my life. Last weekend, the play ended. Friday, I went to Hannah's birthday party. VERY FUN, I love her. Saturday morning, I had my ACT, feel very good about it. Saturday night, Laney boo's party. EXTREMELY FUN, he's my best friend. Church this morning. Tomorrow & Tuesday, auditions. The rest of the year will be busy. I just hope it's in the thrilling way. In other news, I might start to learn some instrument. Guitar, keyboard, or saxophone maybe. :)
Have a wonderful week!
xoxo, Erin
