I saw my middle school theater rival today for the first time in like three years. She gave me this really evil look and I just started cracking up. She kinda looked like a pig.

"uber-torchy?"
That's just the way I describe it.

I've been here one year. It's a little hard to wrap my head around that. If I hadn't posted here I wouldn't know half about Broadway shows or the business in general. Many people here are so knowledgeable about theater and give fabulous reviews of shows. Sure, some of us can get a little bitchy but that's what makes this board fun. We are all giving our opinions about shows and performers in general. To be quite honest, boards that are nice to each other(such as boards that are centered around on person or show) sometimes kind of get on my nerves. This board gives a sense of reality about Broadway and life in general. Okay, if anybody actually read that, then thank you.
I fail a lot. Not doing well at all. School, friends, romance, music, dance, THEATRE all are going down the drain. Being rejected every way I turn, and in many different ways.
And my parents want me to be an engineer.
Munchkin got her back walkover on high beam today...oh and she nailed her back tuck dismount, so bitch as I do about gymnastics -- kid is clearly gifted and is sure to compete level 6 come Fall...
I just hope and pray that they let her compete both season at six instead of moving her up to Optionals in December...
On the up side...she was really looking for something truly unique and she had repeatedly been drawn to blusey jazzy songs..(all that jazz, hot honey rag, hit the road jack have all been on the list, but known to be used by others in the Southwest region)...so anyway the other day Seth playing "An Old-Fashioned Love Story" and I tracked down the clip and she flipped (literally) for it. Now I just need to deal with the logistics of obtaining rights/paying royalties or however it works in gymnastics for the song and find a proper choreographer; I really and truly loath the dance sections of the floor routines the woman who does most of them around here.
BTW ...anyone who can offer advice on the music or recommend a really good choreographer in the Southwest or California...feel free to PM me.

Becoz, I read it and totally agree with it! I have learned so much from these boards it is crazy. So Happy BWW Anniversary!
I hate Sunday nights.
A bird pooped on me today at the Yankees Red Sox game.
My mom got annoyed because I didn't want her hanging over my shoulder.
Doing schoolwork is all the more painful when we finally have nice weather.
^^^yup..
I just watched that Spring Awakening video for the first time and my love for Song of Purple Summer grew..loved what they did with it..I really need to see this show!
My DVD player's broken, and I want to watch a movie. Bleh.
Me too. It's actually been progressively breaking for months. My dad finally accepted last week that it was broken, because it didn't work when *he* tried to use it. Because clearly, it's not actually broken until it inconveniences him. Of course, has he done anything about getting it fixed since? Noooo. But the DVD player in his room works fine, so there's no rush. Argh.
I need to write a paper for history, and If I didn't think of my history teacher as a second mother I don't think that I'd even attempt to do it.
Apparently it's my fault that our tub is clogged (according to my mother).
My friend is being an idiot about something you would think she is mature enough to deal with at 18, but apparently she is not.
I'm hungover
MAKE IT STOP!!!
I spent all day yesterday reworking the "Suppertime" number with our Snoopy and now I think that we might just have an amazing show! ::does happy dance::
Oh and I got a green flag (a message from a teacher to say that you are doing really well) from my english teacher!
I'm having a fabulous Monday, so far!

Me too. AND they're mowing the grass. I won't even be able to go outside today.
They're cutting the grass here, too. Boo.
Showgirls is on VH1. I'd forgotten how hilariously awesomely bad this movie is.
My best friend just came back from Mexico and was telling me about how he got drunk. Ugh, not cool. He has an alcoholic father, and I don't want him to end up the same way.
It kind of scares me that I know Spring Awakening's attendance records off the top of my head.

It's SNOWING. What kind of trick are you trying to pull, Mother Nature? I am not impressed.
My homeroom teacher plays music in the mornings, and so I brought a Sinatra CD in to play on Thursday.
On Friday, I come in, and all the desks are moved to the side of the room. He lines girls up on one side, guys on the other, makes us partner up, and teaches us the foxtrot.
Now, people are obsessed with dancing. Today, the desks were moved again, and we did the hustle. We switched partners every so often, and every guy kept dropping my hands after two tries. Plus, I ended up dancing with a guy I used to like, and it was preeeetty awkward. And I have Calculus with him in about two hours.
Through all of this, I have learned I am not a good dancer.
Oh, and today marks one month until my last day of high school. HALLELUJAH.
