March and April
So, just for continuity's sake, the last entry babbling about my life...
March 14 -- Rose's St Patty's day party, but Billy and Aaron and I couldn't go, because we had rehearsal 1-9 or something silly like that. I was sick, too, which was not. fun.
March 15-19 -- spirit week at Ursuline and Tech week for Ooti. Monday was pj day,
Tuesday was superhero day -- I went as Lady Gaga,
Wednesday was Music genre/ irish pride day, Jenn, Maggie, and I went as KISS groupies,
Thursday was boy day, I went as Harry Potter,
Friday was color day, red for seniors,
and Friday was also opening night of the fabulous XBHS production of Once On This Island. Each day of tech week I'd run out right after school ended, drive home, stay there for a few hours, then get back for rehearsal 6-10. Thinking back on the rehearsals is already such a blur, you lose the process so fast when the end product occurs. Obviously, specific moments are remembered, as well as the general feel, but overall it's a blur. (It's probably because I didn't sleep much this week....)
March 19 OPENING NIGHT OF OOTI! UA people came to see it :)
March, Saturday the 20th - Second night! Added a triangle for the "taxi", Rachael and David saw this performance :) Afterward went to TGIFriday's for the cast party, where there was the traditional smoke thanks to Matt N. It was interesting, for sure.
21 Justine, Andrew, Corinne, and Jackie came to see it. It was the best performance, in my mind. When Ti Moune died, Charlene (the actress who played Ti Moune) started crying, and then through the closing two numbers the majority of the cast was crying, myself included. Everything that we'd been holding off thinking about hit us, there was an overpowering bittersweet finality. It was the last show that special cast would perform, and we'd really bonded during the last week, it was the seniors last show at Xaverian, about a third of the cast was seniors, and especially for me, the emotional roller coaster that Xaverian drama had been was coming to an end. It was such a good production, we were such a good cast, it was just such a marvelous, wonderful, powerful, excellent show, and it's pathetic how much I miss working on the show and performing with the cast.
♥ my ooti cast
there was a cast party afterwards at Billy's house, and there was some drama, but honestly there always was some drama with this cast.
March 26 hung out with Matt N and Lauren and Kellie Jo
a sticker for me and Bess XD
March 28 went to see lifeteen's Passion Play with Lexi and Myra, cuz Katie McN and Sarah M were in it, was excellent.
April 2nd - AB with Corinne during the day, Audrey's that night.
April 3rd Boston with Lauren
got ice cream that evening with Tory and Corinne.
April 4th Easter
April 9th Improv Soup, Kwaku's improve show. Was quite funny. We shouted out suggestions that no one but cast got XD (apapasakooli!)
April 10th Irish Step
10 YEARS! GOT A SHINY CLADDAGH RING!
April 14th - XNL, Xaverian Night Live. HILARIOUS! The skits by Alli were utterly priceless, especially the Shakespearian XB vs BC high, and the Marvel vs DC song. Billy and Matt N did Who's On First really well, and seeing Matty C dance was awesome: :D Gina's rewrite of "You belong to me" to the "bromance song" was so funny. I was blown away by the talent of certain people :)
Friday 16 -- Jenn's for pizza and Pride and Prejudice. Lexi was going to look for a cardboard cut out of Darcy for her prom date :D
April vacation -- South Carolina, Myrtle Beach
got my prom dress
and that's been my life. how's everyone else?
