Hello, chicas/o. My day was lovely. Glory will Hair cut into your bww time? Peppermint, I hope you liked Rent.

Peppermint? Is that a pet name?

I loved Rent. And Peppermint is a new name for me. My cousin's user was Peppermint Patty. She hasn't been on in a while though.

rehearsals won't, unless they create massive ammounts of missed school work. As for the performances, yea. Have to be there from 6:30 to whenever the shows over. Thats like prime bww time right there, but I'll be on from about 4:30ish cst to whenever I leave, as well as whenever I get home for a short while before falling asleep in my computer chair :-p

My friends say they are going to meet me at the stage door after opening night and ask for my autograph and make me look all important, to see how many people will follow along. Oy vey.

Sounds like I'll miss you, Glory. I've got drama club stuff starting up again when you'll be around. Ten to one is 'primetime', I think. PM or post and keep us updated, ok? And can we hear sound clips?

Sorry, MFL. I saw the avatar and wasn't reading carefully. Glad you liked it, I read your post.

It's ok. I don't mind, it was just weird.

i know what it's like being overwhelmed. last month i was choreographing my school's show and had rehearsals mon-thurs until 11. i live 45 minutes away so i got home at 12 and had to start hw. i went to be somewhere between 4 and 5 every night. then fri night, my "day off" i had sign language until 9 and got home at 10. weekends were left for massive amounts of homework. the moral of the story is, it's really tough but it's doable. it takes a lot of hard work but i have faith in all of you so just sleep whenever you can and let your teachers know what you have going on. i'm here to say i've lived it and survived. we'll miss you all though!

I'll try to check back as often as I can, even if I just post and run. I'll probably be on after the show and such, I just don't know how long I'll be able to keep up with everything functioning on a small ammount of sleep, still running track, going to rehearsals, getting home and cramming all my missed school work in for 2 weeks, then doing the same thing for 2 more weeks only I'll have an hour or so between school and the show to just chill/eat. I do want to keep you all in the loop though. You're pretty much my main means of support, besides 2 or 3 friends. My parents don't approve of me doing the show and most of my friends have never heard of 'Hair' or think its stupid.

I might be able to take a few sound clips, but don't expect much. It depends on what the friends who are going are willing to do for me.

Hello. For those that don't know me, I'm balleria, I usually post on the Adam thread and some stuff on the main board. I love musical theater (duh) and have been in a bunch of shows. So that's me a little bit, just thought I sould introduce myself so I don't seem weird/insane/freakish/choose an adjective that someone would use to insult a highschooler whose friends say she has low self esteem.
I hate school. No, I don't. My classes are okay, given the fact that four of them are honors classes and come with a heck of a lot of homework. I hate the fact that after a full semester of high school, I haven't really made any friends. And the few friends I had from middle school are just being freakishly evil and rude to me right now, spreading rumors, getting me in trouble with the band director, hiding my biology book (which I desperately need)... so I'm in a really bad/sad mood right now. Mad at my "friends" and sad that I don't really have any friends in high school that can help me with all of this. I feel pathetic posting this on an internet message board... but I feel like this is the only place where I still have a chance at making friends. which is kind of sad. maybe my friend is right that i have low self esteem. whatever. if you read all of that, thanks so much, don't feel like you need to reply or anything. and i probably now sound like an idiot and won't be able to post here ever again w/out being laughed at (or similar). but now all of this is out and I feel slightly better.

hey ballerina, welcome to the thread

1. Don't appoligize for venting, thats what the thread is for, after all.

2. I wish I could say something to make you feel beter, but I can't. Highschool sucks, but you'll find your little niche of friends/get used to your teachers eventually. Until then, feel free to angst here whenever you want. We're here to listen

HI ballerina!

Don't feel bad, being able to post one's angst is a large benefit to being a bww poster!

Sorry that the people at your high school aren't being that open or nice, but from my experience the first semester of high school is a very bumpy one. I didn't really find my friends until 2nd semester fosh year, so keep your chin up and post away!

Bally, welcome to Life. It sucks a great deal.

Glory, I love Hair, so I want to hear about the production. And do keep us up on your Saga of Bisexuality.

hey ballerina! hang in there. it will get better. and we're here for you so don't feel stupid!

Posted: 1/17/05 at 10:19am

Damn! I was already worried about high school this year...but I'm sorry. I saw from my sister (Sophmore) that it really does suck.

Hey Ballerina, don't worry about angsting, it's what we're here for. I hope things get better for you, it's lousy when you don't have any close friends to talk to, but someday you will find people you can trust, I promise. Feel free to angst at me if you need to.

I can't believe you guys all have parts in musicals and stuff, it sounds soooo cool. Specially in Hair, Glory, I have the soundtrack to that and I love it. All I'm doing is helping direct a school production of School of Rock. Not half as much fun. Sigh...

[bwayballerina]

Thanks everyone for letting me angst. I'm just feeling kind of blah right now... the few friends i have aren't really friends; they're more like kind people that say hi to me in the hall and don't tease me for whatever. I'm really sorry for posting all of this; I probably sound like a blabbering idiot. But thanks again for listening? reading? It makes me feel a little better knowing that I can angst somewhere.

Wonderful! I still can't do the wedding scene waltz, but hopefully I'll be hoe and not a high-society girl and I won't have to be there. Are you doing a show now, love?

Yep, Secret Garden is shifting into full gear. I'm terribly excited, and having fun with my accent.

The Secret Garden is amazing! I just finished cleaning out my closet and I literally have a five foot pile of clothes on my bed.
