Aaaaghm, Maisie! Wish I could be there!

Tofu, I have never heard of Rose Byrne, but she's gorgeous. And... what on earth, Robert Plant??

I FEEL LIKE THE GENIE BEING RELEASED AT THE END OF ALADDIN. Just finished my 13 penalty service hours! I'm free! Now... all I have is the ten mandatory service hours for first semester... and my ten-hour service project... and my volunteer job. Oh.

I hung out with Robert Plant once. There is definitely a certain sex appeal, even at an older age. But I'm alot older than Schmerg so .......

Madcap Maisie that production looks absolutely incredible! Break a leg! I'm a little mad at youth/high school theatre right now...and I'm highly considering dropping out of the musical theatre program at my school because I'm so furious, but those pictures are making me want to stay in my theatre class a little more.

Jazzy, why do you want to drop theatre?

I searched 'guys wearing tight pants,' and I found THIS hideous monstrosity: (Let me grab you a vomit bucket.)

Ah Schmerg, I'm SO darn stubborn. It is partially caused by my stubbornness.

Well, sadly... at my school, they don't cast based on talent. It's based on the way you look. There were tons of kids last year who deserved to get the lead parts, but they ended it up in the chorus. The female leads last year were tall and gorgeous, but they were not the best singers and actresses. Last year, I was lucky to have a nice meaty role (with acting AND singing) that I was physically right for. This year, I'm not so lucky. The male parts I have to choose from are the star of the football team, the teen heart throb (who has to dance extremely well...and I was kicked out of the dance sequence last year), the agent (who is supposed to look older...and I look 11), the father of 2 kids (again...I look WAY to young), and the little brother (it was my only hope... but the teacher decided to give the part to one of the middle schoolers). I thought that if we had the same crew of guys that we had last year, MAYBE I'd be able to get a part... but I met all of the new guys today and they are all much taller, older, and better looking than me. I am a sophomore who looks like a 6th grader, I'm scronny, and I'm slightly femminine. The new guys are all so tall, muscular, masculine, and mature-looking. They're everything that I am not, and it's going to be really tough for me to compete with them. This year's musical doesn't have any part that I'm physically right for...and it doesn't matter if I'm talented or not. We could have Patti LuPone Vs. Random Teen and the random teen would get it if she looked the part! Worst case would be getting put in the chorus... bur I REALLY don't want to be in the chorus. I'm so darn stubborn. That's why I feel dropping out and doing orchestra again...where it's all based on talent. I would REALLY miss thetare, but my odds of getting an actual part are slim... and I'm WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY too stubborn to settle for the chorus. I haven't made my official desicion yet and I won't for quite some time... but I'm highly considering dropping out.

Jazzy, I know what you mean. I always get put in the chorus for musicals at my school. I've had lots of leads NOT in musicals, and leads in musicals outside my school, but there is nothing that I am right for from a musical perspective. I have a voice like an ingenue and I look AND act like a comic relief character!

Dude, I have a friend who was small and scrawny and had a high voice in tenth grade, and then he came back next year and he was over six feet tall and the deepest bass voice in the school. We all call him Darth Vader. Don't drop theatre forever, there might be a great part for you next year. And besides, you are clearly a good-looking guy, so don't worry about looking less attractive than other guys.

Yeah, well Mr. Plant wasn't wearing those pants when I hung out with him. Upon review, I do see what you're talking about.

They cast on looks and not talent. Hm. At least they prepare everyone for the real world.

Tofu! Never leave me again!

Maisie, the show looks really great! I wish I could see it.

I...am exhausted. I want to sleep, but I have tutoring in 20 minutes. Meh.

That Robert Plant picture is puzzling.... lol

My new avi features three of my favorite bway men..... my trifecta of hotness!

Constantine creeps me out.



Boy, I'm negative lately. First Miggles, now Connie.

I'm with you, Stock. It's the Michael Ball Effect. If I'm just listening to him, then he's all right and I don't mind. If I can see him, I instantly get creeped out and don't want to continue. So listening to Rock of Ages = yay! Looking at Constantine pictures = NAY NAY THRICE NAY!

Am currently completely unable to think of anything but Shakespeare's Globe, and so am trying to predict what productions they're likely to do next year. I've made a chart. And it's not at all helpful! I mean, a theatre that'll do Romeo & Juliet three seasons running and somehow only ever have done Hamlet once is a theatre that can NOT be predicted!

It's quiet at work today. I'm a wee smidgen bored. And lonely. :3

I got to be honest... I think I only like him when he has the super long hair. I saw a picture of him with, like, chin length hair and the sex appeal went right out the window!
Will Swenson looks good with short or long hair.... as does Gavin

[lusciouslace]

Posted: 9/29/09 at 11:34am

Stock- How did you get to hang out with Robert Plant!? And yeah...those pants...oh my. I saw that immediately, but then again, I'm a bit of a perv. Haha :)

And Schmerg- That picture! Holy CRAP!

And what were your penalty hours for?

AllthatJazz- Don't give it up!

A. I've had some of my most fun in the chorus.
B. I got to hone some of my skills while in the chorus. Like facial expressions and how to get noticed without stealing the scene or chewing the scenery. One of my teachers told us that if we could catch his attention from the back row, that's how we move up. You get people to notice you without being distracting. It really is a great skill to have. And has come in very handy for me over the years. And I moved up steadily. By the next year I had a couple lines and was a featured dancer. The year after that I was a lead. So...it's really all worth it.
C. If you quit because you don't want to be in chorus, all you're showing them is that you're diva and you have a bad attitude. That will affect everything else you do when involved with these people. If you're only a sophomore, you don't want to have two more years of them thinking you have a terrible attitude. One of the things I've learned from working in the real world is that you can threaten to quit, anybody...the lead news anchor, the president of a company, or a just a lowly office worker...they'll replace you. Without a problem. It doesn't give you any leverage to threaten to walk out, because unfortunatley everybody is replaceable. Remembering that is a real good way to stay humble. Even the President. If something happened to him, we'd throw the VP right in and keep going. It's obviously been done before.

Just have fun, even if it is in the chorus. It's still better to have as many shows as possible on your resume than to have one or two because those are the only ones you got good parts in.

This all just my opinion, of course.

Okay.... I have to rant again.

I am always suppose to have Wednesdays off, not to relax, but to babysit, and organize a showcase... so I am off today and I get a call from work asking if I could come in 4-close tomorrow! I told them that I had a meeting until 4:30 and then I had other plans to start trying to get my house ready to sell with my mom. Well, they blatantly asked me to try to reschedule and I told them that I couldn't reschedule the meeting, but I would call them back with my final answer. I call my mom, expecting her to say that we needed to clean the house.... but she's told me I was being to picky about my hours! WTF?! So, reluctantly (because I could use the extra cash), I called them back.... well, first I got a lecture about calling on line 2 from my boss (when that's the line they called ME from) and then when I told my assistant manager I could come in at 5 she didn't even thank me! I am so angry.... at them for being ungrateful asshats, and at myself for being a doormat, once again... I have covered SO much lately for people who have been sick or busy.... I sure when I get sick sometime in the near future I will get a lecture about my priorities or something!
Oh and I get to work 6 days straight this month.... and I am the ONLY ONE who has to do that!
I feel like kicking someone.

Kels, yeah, retail sucks! ESPECIALLY when they don't have that many employees. When I worked at FYE, there were 3 managers and 3 associates. I had a fixed schedule because there were some days I could NOT work... EVER. Well, I got in trouble a lot because other people would "call in sick" and then when I wasn't able to come in, it was then my fault somehow. Oh well, you just need to switch jobs!!

SO last night, I ushered the Lady Gaga (Lady Gagme) concert. She is so bizarre lol but anyway, I was standing there and this guy asked me where he could smoke. I told him outside. Then he complimented me on my hair... asked if I was gay... asked how old i was... so when I said I was 19 he flipped out and was like ALKGJSAK So young! then he asked me how old I thought he was, OBVIOUSLY I was joking when I said he looked 20 because he did NOT look 20 LOL But he was 42... then he asked if I was on facebook... it was SO creepy. When he left, he winked and said "Love ya!" SO CREEPY!

Anyway, have a great day!

Piano, That is majority creepy.....

Re: my wonderful retail job.... I don't think this would piss me off as much if I knew that I would have hours after xmas.... but I don't. They won't fire anyone, they will just not give hours to anyone but the assistant manager and maybe one other person... and even if I am that other person the hours will be like half of what I'm getting now! I don't hate my job.... I hate the poor management and their dogging of questions so I won't know if I have a job until the january schedule gets posted!
I am in the process of looking for another job, but no one downtown is hiring... I might be able to get a job at the local Barnes and Nobel, but that would require taking my bus downtown and then catching a transfer.... I did that for a year when I worked at Wegmans and it is not fun.

So, like, where do people ever find the money to go to drama school? And, more to the point, where can *I* find the money to go to drama school? Living and tuition costs all told must be at least £10k a year, but if I'm studying full-time (and drama school is *FULL*-time), when do I get the opportunity to earn that? Dammit!

Weez- I hear ya! I've been looking into specialized makeup artistry courses. Holy balls they're expensive!!! And you don't really have this problem being in the UK, but I have to have insurance...so I can't just quit my job! I especially need it now that I'm on the tumor medicine forever. That stuff is effin' expensive, but I get it for "free" because of my insurance through my job now.

It's all just so annoying isn't it?

I just had a freak out/break down about my job while on the phone with my aunt... I told her what has been going down and how I feel like I'm going nowhere because I am barely making enough to survive on, but my hours are so all-over-the-place that I can't get a second job. She thinks it is time for me to find something else before I start hating/dreading going to work. She also informed me that if I do decide to stick it out and it turns out that I have no hours after xmas I can quit and still get unemployment (which is a relief because I really feared that I would be without a job and without any assistance). She also is going to try and help me with any paperwork and finding an apartment... I am about to take this job and shove it!
