So, I haven't posted in awhile....last saturday in fact, but I've been really incredibly busy.

Revelation # 2: I have an audition the day after tommorow and I'm not even close to being prepared.

OMG. Today I woke up and I had the worst nightmare ever. Not even kidding. Okay, so I was at Blue Lake and I was with my cabin and everyone had to take shelter and I thought that there was going to be a storm.
