I am sitting in Ali's room, coming down off my extreme sugar high, and decided to fill one of these thingies out.

FIRSTS:
1. First best friend: Natalie, in pre-K
2. First real kiss: Danny Tuch 
3. First screen name: artgal928 (as Al just said, "It doesn't beat 'BuggaBoo'" -- HER first screen name.  Heh.)

4. First pet: Charlotte, the goldfish.  She ( Read more... )

It sounds so cliche, but I have so much for which to be thankful.  Ali got to it before I did, but here it is anyway:

I am thankful for my beautiful home.

I am thankful for my OTHER home, 201 Otero, and everyone else who lives with me there (especially Kate, Laura, Taryn, and...well, read a little further down...and of course Pat, who is an ( Read more... )

Thank you to all of you who came to see Ancient History! It was probably the most educational, the most difficult, the most emotional show I have ever done -- and I mean those all in the most positive senses. I hope everyone enjoyed the play. I'm a little nervous about faculty that came to see it...I'm PRAYING they thought the play (and, more ( Read more... )

Flash flood...literally. How weird.

I wish I had a heater :-(

So yeah, this was an extremely interesting post.

Blegh. I feel both physically and emotionally sick. BUT I must say that I got incredibly frickin lucky to have Zach in this show with me. At notes, I think he sensed that I was not myself. So we took a walk after rehearsal to get coffee (alas, Deidrich was CLOSED by the time we got there!), and he just listened to me and talked to me and made ( Read more... )

I can't wait for Thanksgiving break and for everyone to be home, in LA...me, Ali, Sasha, Evan, Brian, Cory, Turk, Danielle, Emily, Dana, Alana, Ally...plus all the college kids who are still in town and the CHS thespians. I hate how some people are seven hours away, how some people are a seven hour PLANE flight away. I feel as if I am drifting ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I had my first voice lesson with Myrona, one of the two instructors who heads up Musical Theater here.  It was incredibly informative, and there are a lot of things that she helped me discover that I do incredibly wrong.  However, I'm going to have to find a middle ground between both of my current voice teachers that works for me.  Both ( Read more... )

So...all of that "Rock the vote!" "Be the change you wish to see in the world" "Make YOUR voice heard" stuff?

That all apparantly went over really well.

I guess the good news is that we will be SO screwed by the time of the next election, we might end up next time with a true leader -- a really outstanding president -- and maybe there will be ( Read more... )

Tonight was so much fun.  I love us. I just ate about five tons of peaunut butter and I have this strange urge to pull an all-nighter. Hm. Enjoy the pictures!
So, Ali and I insisted that we have a mini photo shoot before we went out.  Here are some of the results:
