I saw Elizabethtown today and it was amazing. Usually I'm not one to like that type of movie, but it was just so beautiful I couldn't help it. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. It made me laugh, and cry, and think, and cry. AH! It was so great, I really cannot describe. Go see it. Now. Seriously. I kid you not. I heard it's like Garden State, only better, so maybe that'll tell you if you'll like it or not. And Kirsten Dunst wasn't too annoying. I want to see it again next week.
p.s. I love my suite. We all, minus one but it's ok, went out to A.C. Moore, Chinese buffet, movie, Barnes and Noble (for Starbucks) and of course Walmart. Lisa and I bought these awesome orange hunting hats, and I love it. They're so bright, it's ridiculous. I also bought Ranch Wheat Thins, and Walmart usually never has those, so yay! Also I saw Ingrid there. Also I was dancing in the store, and then while we were waiting for the cab I was dancing outside, and I fell and ripped a hole in the left knee of my pant leg. Apparently it was a really funny fall though, because I bounced right back up. Then we came back and danced some more. I love it.
Tomorrow is Mattress Frisbee, so that should be tons of fun. I like the cast, it's really good. We'll have a great show.
P.p.s I love Kayla Shriner-Cahn more than anything in the world pretty much.
I also <3 the scene shop. Sometimes.
I want to go pumpkin picking.
Also, I think I want to be a ghost hunter when I grow up.

So yeaaah. Last night Kelly and I spoke for about 2 hours. It was so nice. I haven't spoke to her in forever, and the last time I saw her was last summer. And the best part was we were talking as if we speak everyday, like not a day has passed since we spoke. It was awesome talking to her and finding out what's going on in her life and stuff. She's such an interesting person hahahaaa. To say the least. I love her.
What else?
Yeah. Pippin rehearsals are a pain in the ass. The music is a lot of fun, and I love singing it, so that's not the problem. The problem is the people. There are sooo many people who all they do is talk during rehearsals. I really don't understand why some people find it neccessary to talk every moment of their lives. Is it really that hard for people to stay quiet and LISTEN for just 2 hours?! And it's not even that long! It's really ridiculous. There are only 5 of us in the show who have been in a Mainstage before, and actually maybe 2 1/2 of us know how to behave. It's really horrible what little respect people give to Sue, and to the rest of the cast, and themselves for that matter. I guess all these new people don't realize that we ARE being graded for the ENTIRE process, not just when Doug comes. Sue is the one grades us all in the end. Yesterday I saw Jenn before rehearsal, and I asked her if she could say something about the talking that goes on, because she doesn't stick around for rehearsal, so she has no idea how bad it is. Thankfully, she added it to her list of things to talk about, so that made me feel better. But then people STILL talked! I swear, sometimes I feel like I'm still in elementary school, the way these people just completely disregard authority. Whatever. Chris knows what I mean. Thank God for him, because I just look at him in rehearsal and think, "there's a guy who listens and is serious about his work and performance." I love him. SO much. But hopefully the show will turn out to be good. We'll see.
Also I'm directing Once Upon a Mattress with Kayla. It'll be soooo much fun! I can't wait till rehearsals start, even though we haven't even held auditions yet hahaha. Yay!
That's all for now I suppose.

So tonight I had the most fun ever!!!!! First I went out to dinner at the Chinese Buffet with Drew, my suitemates Lisa and Lauren, and Lauren's friend Sari. Then we came back, and I was bored, so I did Skip-It.
Bored again, I decided to break out the arts and crafts. I wanted to make a cool frame like Chris made for me, so I started painting popsicle sticks (with a half-hour phone conversation with Maureen Gundlach, who I loooove, stuck in the middle), and then Kim came up with an idea to paint each other on paper plates! So me, Kim, Lauren, and Lisa (our 5th suite member, Regina, left early) did portraits of each other on paper plates, and they look sooooooo freaking awesome. I have to post pictures, but not now, because I have to still put them on my computer, and then online, and I'm too tired hahahaaa. And we hung them in our suite! And then we made one for Rob, our RA, and we made him a body too, and it was all buff, which Rob is not, and he loooved it as well! And he said that's what our floor is gonna do for next semester's door tags, roommates painting portraits of each other. SOooooooo cool!!!! I had THE BEST TIME EVER. And Kim's Chris was here too, and we painted him, and now he's on our wall too, haha. I really can't wait till tomorrow so I can post the pictures. I had a really crappy day, but the evening made up for it about 35 times. I could get stomped on by a dinosaur tomorrow, but all I'd have to do is think about the plate portraits, and nothing would be wrong. You'll loooove the pictures!
I really love my suite this year. The past 2 years my suitemates have been pretty nasty, but now we have unspoiled freshman, and 1 sophomore transfer who's not here much, but still! They are so nice and we do fun things like tonight together. I am soooooooooooooo sooooo sooo soooo so happy right now. I really can't describe this cloud I'm on, it's just that great! You guys should try it sometime!!!
Classes are good too. I think I'm gonna do well and like them this year. I was thinking of dropping Shakespeare, but I'll have to take it eventually, so I might as well take it while I have it, and the prof seems pretty good too. It should be nice. And my pop, rock and soul class is really cool to, PLUS I have it with Drew, so that's really fun.
Did I mention I LOVE Maureen Gundlach?
I think I might just sleep in tomorrow. Why not treat myself?

So here I am at Binghamton. I got here yesterday around 1. Finished
unpacking and setting up a little while ago. Last semester, when I
undecorated, I put my stuff somewhere, and now I have no idea where
most of it is. So my wall is a lot more blank than it has been hahaa.
It's weird. I like the my room looks this year. It's a little
different, and now I have a shoe rack in my closet, which is awesome,
because last year I was always tripping over my shoes. And I brought up
a lot less clothes too, which is fun. I really hope this turns out to
be a good year. That's all for now, I suppose.

The Spelling Bee |
] |
So. These past few days have been awesome. Saturday was Tara's birthday, so we all had a bbq here, and everyone came over and ate and all was good. It was fun.
On Wednesday, I went down with Liz and Phil to get tickets for Lennon. They have student tickets, and it's crazy because they're not advertised anywhere! I ended up getting 7 tickets total, for the evening performance. Then we tried getting standing room for Spamalot, but there were SO many people there, so it sold out. Long story short, I won 2 tickets for the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels lottery for THE THIRD TIME, and Aunt Cathy was gonna meet me. Liz and Phil went to see The Spelling Bee again, for Liz anyway, so that was good. The show wasn't as great the third time because John Lithgow had gone on vacation the night before, so it was another dude, who didn't even KNOW THE WORDS. There was one line, where he almost missed it, but then recovered, and I think I only noticed because I've seen it before haha. Then there was one pretty obvious thing, where he FORGOT THE LINE IN A SONG. I was singing the words in my head, and then all of a sudden, he stopped, and then Sherie Rene Scott sang her line and made the pause look plausible. Oh well.
After the show, Liz and Phil met me at the theatre, and they were already talking to our friend Joe Cassidy, and he was like, "So you won the lottery again" and I was like "How'd you know?" and he said "I got the scoop from these guys" hahaa. So we spoke to him, and he's such a nice guy, I love him. Then we talked to our friend Gregory Jbara, who is also incredibly nice. Love him too. He recognized Liz and I, and asked how we were and stuff, and vice versa, and then he said, "You guys were a lot toned down on the laughing this time" and I said, "that's because it was only me today," and he said, "I guess it takes 2 to make trouble, huh?" ahaha It was really funny.
Then we went to get Caity from the bus stop, and we all went to go eat, me, Liz, Phil, Cait, and Aunt Cathy. Then Aunt Karen and Mom met up with us, and we went to the Lennon theatre. The show was SOOOOOO amazing. Liz didn't really like the story because it focused so much on Yoko Ono, and my sister isn't a fan of hers. We saw her at the theatre though. Apparently she's seen the show almost every performance. We had seats in the front row, and Liz sat right in the center, so she was happy. The music was spectacular, and the actors were so amazing. Their voices totally blew me away. There was one part in the end where one girl was speaking as Yoko, after John died, and she was singing and crying, and Phil and I were crying next to each other lol. But they threw real flowers into the audience, and handed out "WAR IS OVER" cards, and they were so energetic and fun, I would totally see it again. I had the cast sign my WIO card, cuz I got one. And they were so nice to everyone, and I loved it so much. I want to see it in the Winter maybe. Amazing, just, wow.
So yes, that was my wonderful day. But OH! There was one AMAZING thing that happened, on our way to the Lennon theatre. We saw someone walking into the Dirty Rotten stage door, and I saw her, and ( I said... )

So. This has been a pretty good summer so far. I went to the Poconos for a week, saw a NASCAR race which was awesome, went to Hershey Park, and just relaxed. It was such a great feeling. Oh, and went to WalMart too. EVERYONE there is obsessed with Walmart. If you need something and asked someone where to go to find it, Walmart is what they'll say. It was weird.
I saw The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee on Wednesday. It was sooooo funny. And it was almost like interactive theatre. They had people on stage as part of the spelling bee, I don't know how they got to be there though. I want to do it! There was one song called "Pandemonium" where the characters were all running around the theatre singing about how "life is pandemonium" and one of the guys starts climbing on the chair between me and my sister, because we got lottery tickets and were sitting in the second row, which was like the first because the first row was only half a row, so he was climbing on it. It was awesome. After that we went up to Barnes and Noble on 66th because the cast AND WILLIAM FINN (who wrote the music for the show) were doing a signing there, and how could I possibly pass that up? It was so amazing meeting Finn. And they were all so nice. And beautiful. Aaaaah.
After that I walked my sister to the express bus, and I went downtown to meet Ty. We were going to see Cookin', this Off-Broadway show. It was kind of like Stomp, cuz they were all banging on things to a beat, but it was in a kitchen with 5 Koreans. It was really funny. They kept throwing things out into the audience, and I came home with 3 balls...Ya know those plastic ones that you find in ball pits at play places and the like. They were throwing TONS of those into the audience haha. And garbage bags and food. It was very enjoyable. There was one part where they brought 2 people on stage to taste their food, and they "got married." Then another part where they had a Dumpling making Contest, and they had two teams, 2 of the actors on each, and they brought up 2 people for each team to help them, and then before you know it, all the actors are gone, and it's just the audience members making the dumplings!!! It was soooo funny. Then a little while later, the fifth character, the manager, comes out, and does a double take when he sees the audience members cooking, and yells for the real chefs hahahaa. It was so great.
This summer I also saw Movin' Out again, Wicked again, and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels TWICE. Yes, it was that good. Both times we won the lottery, too, so we had prime seats. The first time it was me, Adam, Christian, my sister, and her friend Phil. We all went down to get tickets for the Movin' Out evening show, because my mom and 2 aunts were coming after work, so we had to waste the time away, and we did it by seeing another show! haha. SO Chris couldn't come because he had to go downtown for an interview, but my sister and my names got called for the lottery, so we had 4 tickets! And they were dead center. It was so amazing. And Andre was played by the understudy, but he was so good. So after the show we met John Lithgow and Norbert Leo Butz and the rest of the cast, except Joanna Gleason and Sherie Rene Scott. It was so sad. Apparently neither of them leave the theatre after matinees. Joanna gets back therapy and sleeps. I don't know about Sherie.
Later that night Movin' Out was just as awesome as the first time, and after we met the cast too! They were soooo nice and the best was, DURING THE SHOW, John Selya (Eddie) kissed my hand! And high-fived Adam! During one of the last songs! It was so amazing!!!!! I was stunned. So after, Adam asked him to kiss my hand again 
so that was really awesome. And they all took pictures and signed our playbills and all that jazz and it was an amazing time had by all. SUCH a great day.
The second time we saw DRS, it was me, Liz, and Caity, we took her for her bday. Luckily, both mine and Liz's names were called for the lottery (again!), but we had 4 tickets! So there was another group of ladies who needed a ticket, so it all worked out. Caity loved the show, and we loved it again, and this time Gregory Jbara played Andre, and he was really awesome too. Amazing time. He came out of the stage door last, and he was one of the nicest people I've ever met. He took pictures with EVERYONE who was still there, and signed stuff, and took multiple pictures with people, and lingered there as long as he had to until everyone had gotten to him. It was so awesome. And every picture he took he asked them to email it to him to put on his website, so if you wanna see those pictures, click here: http://www.gregoryjbara.com/stagedoor/index11.html . Yay! That was a really awesome day too.
After that, Caity, Liz, and I went to Toys 'R' Us and took many a picture. Then I put them all together into a little slideshow with music and titles, so it's kinda like a silent movie haha. It's really funny, but I can't put that on here I guess. But yes, hilariousness ensued.
Also my birthday passed. My mom secretly invited Christian and Maureen, so that was really awesome seeing them there. It was such a surprise! My mom's awesome, and they were awesomer for coming! I had a good time. Claudia was there too, along with the rest of my dad's family. It was so much fun.
I want to go to the zoo before the summer's over. Last summer I went with Jose and Caity, haha, and I had a lot of fun. Maybe Cait will wanna go again. We'll see. Ciao for another 2 months hahahaa.

Well. This week has been centered around family a LOT. Birthday party for my uncle AND my Grandma on Sunday. 50 and 72. yay! I made a dress scarf for my grandma. On Friday night Tara, Caity, Aunt Cathy, and I had arts and crafts time. We made the most awesome cards for Uncle Mike and Grandma. Everyone was just so creative and it made me feel so good! Especially how it reminded me of those crafty days during Once on This Island. I was so much fun! I made the coolest card for Uncle Mike. It was all construction paper cutouts and such. Here's the message that was inside:
(Front cover, with a picture of a snowman with snowflakes, little shamrocks, and a sun): Hey Uncle Mike! You know, in any SEASON, we could...
(open, to see a world, with little people around it): Run around the Earth,
(turn page, to see little waves with people in them): Swim across the sea,
(back page, with a nice pic of Uncle Mike): But never find an uncle as cool as thee!!!
haha I thought it was clever. I was so proud of it. *tear*
Monday and Tuesday sucked. I had Jury Duty. I didn't get called at all on Monday, but on Tuesday I did, but I couldn't sit on the jury for it, so I went back down to the pool, but everyone had left for lunch! So I left too. A little after lunch, my name was called again, and I wanted to cry. But it turns out they were just giving me my receipt for the duty, and that I could leave! An hour before everyone else, too. It was so funny, when one guy got his paper, he said, "Does this mean I won't be bothered again for another 6 years?" hahahhaa most amusing thing all day.
The one good thing I did get out of it was a new friend, Christina! I met a girl at the very end of Monday when we were both sitting on the steps waiting for rides, and she lives in Morris Park. We decided to sit with each other the next day, so when I got there I found her and we sat together and talked a lot and it was really nice. She has a cousin who goes to Talent Unlimited, and she saw the show that Liz starred in, cuz her cousin was in it too. So that was very interesting and made my stay at the court house enjoyable. Also on Monday I had lunch with a friend of my mom's who works in the courthouse. It was fun. She showed me where they want to build the new Yankee Stadium. My uncle also works there, but he was out of the office both Monday and Tuesday. It's ok though, because I don't see him that often, so it might have been a little weird.
Work is still the same. I worked yesterday. It wasn't too busy, but there was a rush during the day when a school group decided they wanted to shop. Came home and relaxed. It was so quiet because my brother and mother were at this awards thing for the sports team in his school, my sis was out with her friends, and my dad was somewhere.
I love Spike TV. I watched COPS with my dad, then CSI, and then this Chevy Chase movie, "Fletch Lives." Never heard of it before, but it was funny. yay!

Just a quick update. Work is fun, sometimes. Sometimes it's boring, still. ANd hectic, man. Yesterday, though, I redid a display of three shelves with all this glass stuff and it and it came out so damn awesome. My bosses loved it! One of them spoke to my mom and said, "I didn't know Teresa had so much talent!" haha SCORE!!!!
I'm knitting now. I'm making a scarf for my grandma. It's her 72nd birthday on Wednesday, but the party is on Sunday. It's also a 50th birthday party for my uncle. Yay.
I got a myspace, it's crazy. Now I have 101 websites to check when I go online. Fun times.
I love people sometimes.

I <3 Spaceballs.
I miss Binghamton already. I miss Ingrid and all the other cool people I can't find anywhere. And I miss my cell phone ringing. There's no one to call me to go eat lunch or to go find their car or to put Batman stickers and hangers on people...which I didn't do...It was totally Ty and Maria!!!
I started working ALREADY. I came home on Friday, after Dan and Zach so wonderfully helped me load and unload the car. The day before Dan and Ingrid and I went to the mall. I bought two awesome new skirts, sweet. And now I'm working :( Oh well. At least it won't be like last summer where I was looking for a job until about the end of June. That wasn't fun. Oh well.
This week was fun though. Once on This Island was this weekend. I thought the show went really super well. I loved it. It gave me chills every time I watched it. Scott Eckers, who does the lights, is amazing. He did a lighting design while watching the show for the first time. It wasn't even like he watched it, got an idea, and then did it, no, he just DID it. He's awesome. And the show totally over-sold-out, thanks to Saturday's crowd. There were like a million people there, it was incredible. And Kayla and I ran lights for it! Yay!
After Friday night's show was Joe Reilly's party, which was incredibly fun. I've never had so much fun at a party. Not that I've been to that many, but still, this was definitely the funnest. I <3 Eric so much, he's my hero. We've known each other for 6 years!!! hahahhhaaa. Joe Reilly is awesome.
And then at 4:30 in the morning, after being in bed, barely sleeping, for only about an hour, someone PULLED the fire alarm!!!! rooooar. I definitely didn't get out of bed though, but then Eric and Drew came and saved my life by helping me outside. It was soooo cold, I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt! But Sophie had a blanket which she wrapped around me, so that was nice.
Saturday was the cast party at Hanz's. Not as much fun, but still a good time. I was so sick though because the weather up there was atrocious, I could SEE the pollen floating in the air. My allergies STILL haven't healed from the Binghamton pollen. And it didn't help that I was working outside for a good portion of today.
Monday was my German final, which I know a few parts I messed up on, but hopefully I did well enough to keep my A, because I'm pretty sure that's what I had until then. I have 3 grades out of 5 so far, and they're all As!!!! Yeah A in Scene Study!!!! I rocked that final scene so hard, yeah! I love Theodore Swetz. Yeah Dad!
haha Tuesday night Ty and I watched </i>The Incredibles</i>, and then we watched </i>James and the Giant Peach</i>. I love college. Wednesday Ty, Zach, and I watched Ferngully: The Last Rainforest. We are such crazy people.
Thursday Dan and I had an adventure. We went to the mall, then he needed to go to a dry cleaners, so we gte directions to one, but I guess the lady who worked in Kaufmann's thought we were driving, because she said it wasn't far, but it turned out it was...by foot, anyway. We made a wrong turn, unbeknownst to us, and a lady in the second house in was pulling out of her driveway, so we asked her if "this is the way to Hooper Rd." No, it wasn't. So we back up, and keep going straight. We stop in a gas station to get some thirst-quenchers, and continue on our way. Right before a highway, which was the only way we could go, we stopped in a random furniture store on a long strip of other random stores. Well, it turned out we stopped in the right random store, because the guy behind the counter said the place was a mile away, and he was leaving and going in that direction anyway, so he would take us. On the way, I thought, "wait...Ingrid lives on Hooper Rd. Doesn't she live above a dry cleaners?" Dan didn't know, so I called her, and left a message. We get to the dry cleaners alive, and I call her again, and she says, "I just got your message." I say, "You live at 514 Hooper Rd, right?" "yeah, why" "I'm right outside your house!!!!!" I was right!!!! Soooo, instead of having to call a cab and wait forever to get back to the mall, Ingrid drove us back and shopped with us, and then drove us back to campus. Talk about a whole day of perfect timing!!!! It was so awesome.
And now I'm home, oh, and on wireless internet! I was finally able to install it and get it set up and such, although right now I'm using some unknown wireless network. I'll have to set up my own soon, cuz first of all this one isn't mine, and second of all, it's very faulty. It disconnects a lot, and the signal is really low. It's probably coming from like 2 blocks away or something hahaa. But hey, it works a little! Awesome!
Mint chocolate chip ice cream is awesome.
I need new adjectives.
My room is a mess. My pants are currently hanging in the closet where my family's coats usually hang. This is nuts. At least I get a whole closet to myself, even though it's small.
The thought of how to make my room at Bing seem bigger haunts me every night before I fall asleep. I keep trying to think of ways to maximize the space, but it's so hard without it right in front of me. "But you know me, good ideas just pop into me head and I keep thinking..."
I <3 Stephen Sondheim. And Stephen Schwartz. And Ahrens and Flaherty. I listened to the OOTI soundtrack yesterday and it made me cry hahaa. I love it.

haha I just realized I never wrote about that really random dream I had last week or whenever it was.
So Dan and Ira and I were on a road trip, and we stop at some hotel, and after checking in, we start to walk over to the elevators, and then we see a dining area, but it ended up also being a grocery store lol. So we go over there, and there were a bunch of people from Bx Sci sitting at this table, with one girl from Binghamton, and Ira sits down with them to eat, and Dan and I walk around the store. We split up, and I walk into some aisle and pick up a bag of macaroni and cheese, and all of a sudden Colleen Reardon (my music prof from last spring) pops up in the aisle next to me, and I started screaming for my life and then I woke up.
It was so weird. Chelsea helped me interpret it and there was stuff about me needing help in my life about something...and shopping and macaroni both mean that I need to start being frugal or something. I wish I had written this down when it happened last week, because I can't remember exactly what it was we came up with, and it was really good too. I think teachers mean I'm searching for approval, and road trips mean I'm taking a new journey in life or something. Bah I'm too lazy to try to research it again, so I'll have to deal with this half-hearted remembrance. At least it's something. But everything that we found did relate to stuff that's going on now. I had a pretty weird dream last night too, but I don't remember it at all. The funny thing about the above dream is that I can still see it in my head, it's one of those. And the dream mentioned in the previous entry as well, hahahaa. It's weird the things you remember from dreams. And when you wake up and you want to remember what happened, but you're pulled into the land of the fully awake too quickly, so your dream falls out before you get a chance to catch it. That's annoying.

So. Grandma Sylvia's Funeral is over. It's so sad. I decided I don't like it when shows end. When Godspell ended, I was so sad because no more amazing singing and no more fun fun fun director and no more fun people and stuff like that. And now it's the SAME thing again. GSF was the most fun show I've ever worked on. Barely no direction, we got to experiment insane amounts with every aspect of the show, and the people were just off-the-wall, like me! And the best part was how interactive the show was...when I first heard about it, I knew it was interactive theatre, but I didn't realize that the characters interact the ENTIRE time, and that everyone was in the audience and everyone in attendance was part of the funeral. Oh my gosh, it was sooooo fun to work on. And it was really like a funeral, we even had a real coffin and everything! And since it was a Jewish Funeral, we had yarmulkes for all the guys and stuff, aaaaah soooo coool!!!!! And the shows were even better than the rehearsals, obviously haha. And people even came up with new improv during the shows, which was amazing.
Opening night was soooo much fun. Afterwards we all went to Denny's, except for 2 people, which is actually really good haha, for a cast of 21! We had a lot of fun, and we had the back room to ourselves, naturally, cuz we're so many people and so damn loud haha. I love theatre people. After the second night, I went to BG's with Ira, Lindsay, and Ira's best friend from home. That was a lot of fun too. On closing night, we were all so sad, and even on opening night I almost cried. We got the most awesome gifts for Danny and Lauren, and they liked them a lot. Danny T is one of my most favorite people in the entire world, I love him soooo much. He rocks. He even let us fool around on April Fool's Day, because we started rehearsal, and we all took someone else's character haha, and he didn't see us sit down, so he didn't notice until we had started doing the lines, and we did almost a half of the first act, or maybe a little less haha, it was amazing. I don't really think I can say how much I loved working on that show, and how much I will miss it and all the people, and I love them all. The party on Saturday was fun too, but there were so many non-cast members there, it was kind of weird. But I knew most of them anyway, so whatever. GSF4EVER.
Last night we started blocking Once on This Island. We got soooo much done, I was really impressed with Chris, I love him like woah. He's out choreographing with Jess now, so that should be fun. I actually had a free night tonight, and of course, I did NO work. But I knew that was going to happen haha. But I DID do my laundry, hang out with Chris and Chels a little, and watched American Idol finally, haha. First time in a LOOOONG time. Oh well. It was a fun night, but tomorrow I'm gonna be up alllll night writing that dame paper. UGH. I hate reading.
I'm excited for a new show. New people, and with music!!!! I love musicals.
aaaaaah This weekend was soooo gooood. Saturday was amazing weather, and I spent alll day outside, *gasp*!!!! I played Frisbee with Chris, Ty, and Emory, and then Skip-it with Ty, and then hackey sack with Ty. That was so much fun, because I haven't hacked in the longest time. So we hack everyday now, yay! We hacked yesterday while we were waiting for our professor, hahahaa.
Sunday I went to the Collaborative Dance Project with Chris. Oh my goodness, it was so amazing. Dance is such a beautiful expressive thing. Two of the dances made me cry, and one of them was the one Meredith choreographed (p.s. Friday was her birthday and I got her and awesome funny card and this angel birthstone pin which she loved) and it was set to "No Leaf Clover" by Metallica, and the story of the dance was about domestic violence and people in situations who can't get out of them. And one of the girls actually had tears on her face, and Chris said that she didn't on Friday, so that made the dance that much better. You really have to be a good actor to do contemporary dances, and I guess any kind of dance haha. It was just so touching, and when I told her her dance made me cry, she said, "Good, that's the point," so yay. And the dance Olga choreographed was awesome too, she is such a good dancer. It took place on a subway! And it had a clip in the beginning of that "The next stop is 42nd St, Times Square" "Stand clear of the closing doors, please." haha it was cool. And the dance was cool and funny. And there was another dance whose story was about the war, and how so many people lead their lives and ignore the fact that our people are dying in a nother country and no one will ever see them again...the ignorant dance was set to Britney Spears, and the war part was set to Linkin Park's "In the End." It was so good, and that one made me cry as well. So good, gosh. I think that was Maureen's dance.
After that we ate in Hinman, then went to Eric's Kaskest show, which was so good as well. They made this video called Jewsical the Musical, and it was sooooo funny. It's great cuz Darren made up this one line after Chad sings, "this isn't Jewsical the Musical, Gary," and I don't think he knew that's what the show was called haha. So on Thursday's show some girl was like, "No, that's Sunday" haha. The show was great and Eric makes a great Elphaba!!!!
Yasher koyekh...whatever that means!

hahaha so Eric and I are watching Osmosis Jones, and there's this part when they're inside the body, and there's a podium that has a sperm on it, and it says "Our Founder" hahahahhaaaa!!!! That was really funny.
I love Bill Murray, also.
Rehearsal today was so nuts. We had to do a speed-through because we started way over an hour late, and I was definitely sleeping right before, and Lauren had to wake me up so I didn't miss my cue, which I would have, haha. Then during rehearsal everybody was going crazy because we just wanted to get out of there, but people were messing up lines and just acting crazy, and I laughed sooo hard, almost as hard as last time, and I lost my balance about 5 times, and fell twice. I really don't know what is wrong with me, but it's weird.

Last night was a good night. Dress rehearsal for Grandma Sylvia's Funeral was a lot of fun. Costumes are a wonderful thing heh heh. I completely love Chad's suit, it's amazing, yes.
After rehearsal half the cast went to the Spot Diner. It was SO much fun. I love Danny T so much, he's one of the funniest guys ever. So I laughed a ton and we joked so much and this is such a fun cast and I am so sad that it's almost over. I shall savor this forthcoming week as much as I can. We were at the diner for about 2 1/2 hours, but we ended up leaving around 3:30 because of Daylight Savings, yuck. And that damned disappeared hour made me miss the ooti party, because I'm sure people would have stayed longer if it was still only 2 something. Ugh. Whatever. We'll have plenty more chances for Island fun, I guess, but not so much more of Funeral fun, so it worked out I guess.
I think I'm losing my voice, which really sucks, obviously. I love Werther's Original Butterscotch thingies.
oh p.s. Songs For a New World is becoming my new favorite musical of the moment, so yay!!! <3 Jason Robert Brown. SFANW is such an amazing show, I love it so much and I want to do every song from it in Rep!
ooh and speaking of Rep, the other day Sue asked me if I wanted to be the captain again, but this time I'll be THE captain!!!! Yay! Of course I will hahahaa. And I get a co-captain and everything. It's so awesome. Rep Company is my favorite thing ever, and everytime I think about it, I love Binghamton more and more haha. It's so much fun, and it keeps up my voice in a class setting, otherwise I'd just be sitting in my room singing, and that's ok, but it's better in a class too. Plus it's opened me to so many more musicals! I mean, I have a TON, literally, a TON, of soundtracks, but I don't really listen to the ones that I don't know, but if I have to learn a song for Rep, then I listen to it. And this summer I will definitely catch up on listening to CDs, because now I also don't have much time to listen to CDs in their entirety. Which is another reason I don't really listen to more music. Yes.
ttfn.

bah long time no update, and not much time right now, but update I shall anyway.
Break was way fun. I worked four days, so I made some money. Saw Jose and Danielle on Saturday!!! Went to the Auto Show with Dad, Pat, and Jose, then met up with Danielle in Times Square, did a little eating and shopping, Starbucksed it up, and I had such a good time with them. I miss them. I miss a lot of people. I wish everyone weren't so far away and that I wasn't so busy every second of my day. I don't even call my parents as much as they'd like me to because I don't have time to talk for 5 damn minutes. One day I'll learn how to manage my time...one day.
School is nice. Lots of work again, rehearsal everyday, show's next week. Good times, last night's rehearsal was the most fun ever. Never laughed so hard in my life, I think, which is a major accomplishment hahahaa. I loooove this cast so much. Fun stuff.
Yay for tap soon! Laters!

I saw Finding Neverland tonight. It was sooooo good!!! Amazing movie, I want to buy it haha. Before that was Twelfth Night, take 9, and it went really well. The audience was awesome today. Previous to that was Grandma Sylvia's rehearsal, and that went really well too. Rehearsals for that are going really well, I think the Funeral will be great.
I can't wait for Once on This Island to really get into gear, but for me that probably won't be until after the break :( I'm really sad about it, because I feel sorry for not being able to be there, but I guess it's ok.
I love my new friends. And my old ones. And everyone in between. There was a time when I didn't think I would make friends in college that I could be as close to as I was to my friends in high school, but I was way wrong. No matter what, my friends are always here for me, and they're so amazing!!! I loove loove loooooove themmmm and I owe them so much. OK that's enough of me being sappy.
I decided that I really enjoy crafts. I mean, that was something I decided long ago, just like to never walk in anyone's shadow, but this weekend I have been doing it a LOT, like I made construction paper art for Dan Fleck and Dan Lyons, and tomorrow I'm working on more for other peoples, because I have nothing else to do during the show while I'm on crew haha, and it is sooo much fun, and the best is seeing the look of appreciation when you give something to someone that you worked so hard and long on. It's awesome.
Rep Company this week was amazing. I rocked "Flagmaker 1775" soo hard, it flew away. I cried while I was singing, and gave Meredith chills, *gasp* Sue told me it was the best thing she'd ever seen me do, and after class she told me how proud she was of me, and that was really really nice. I love that woman so much, she makes me feel so good! I <3 Rep Co.
There's not much else that's up that I feel like elaborating on right now, so good night all.

So quick update. Yesterday I bought my GREEN DAY ticket!!!!!!!! For April 27th right here on campus!!! wahooO!!!!! I had Ingrid buy me an extra one, which was a good thing too, cuz Dan didn't get one, so he's gonna buy the extra. I think that's the most exciting thing that's happened since last time hahaa.
Auditions went really well, and tomorrow are callbacks. We were SO afraid that we weren't going to have enough people, but now we have tons of them! It's going to be hard narrowing it down when it comes time to cast the show. Yipes! oh well, that's life.
I have a lot of work to do, so I guess I should. Oh the craziness of it all.

Once on This Island |
] |
Woah! I went to to Wegman's today with Chelsea and Dan, yay! I FINALLY got some Throat Coat phew. I can't wait to drink it. It was fun shopping with them. We were like a family shopping for groceries because we just had everything in one little cart, and were buying such random things hahaa. I've spent so much money since I've been back at school. I really need a real job. Sometimes I feel like $15 a week isn't enough. But at least I have been able to survive on what I made from the summer. No other money has been put into my account, I think. So that makes me feel really good too. The first time all the money in this account is all mine hahahaa. And I'll be working at Philipsburg again this summer, so that'll be good, more money heh heh. Hopefully I'll make the same amount though, because I'll be doing something different, but we'll see. I could always waitress too if need be.
Monday I auditioned for Grandma Sylvia's Funeral, for the DC Players, directed by my favorite Danny Thalblum. Thursday was the callbacks, and Friday I found out I made it! It was weird because I really wasn't expecting to get casted and would have been fine if I didn't since I'm directing the DCP musical, but now that I am cast I'm really happy. The people in it are great, so many of my friends! Although there are a few I don't know, but I will soon. I don't know when rehearsals start...probably soon though, I'm guessing. It's funny because the show is a lot of improv, especially the entire first act, so that should be interesting. I am upset that a few people didn't get cast, but it's not like I've never worked with them before or anything, and they're still my best friends. At the callbacks I was oozing and Chelsea was there the whole time. I love her so much and I told her. <3
Tap was so much fun yesterday. We finished the time step combination, and went over a lot of stuff, which was great. Danny T came over to me and said, "How do you feel about making out with Dan Lyons?" cuz in the show he proposes to me and such, and I laughed and was like, "it's fine." It was quite humorous. After tap Dan and I went to eat, and were joined by others as we sat. It's always funny when you go somewhere to eat with someone, and then people just flock to you. That happens to me a lot. It's enjoyable.
Last night little Danny came over. We talked and stuff, and just as we were talking about how excited we were about the show (and we are VERY), Ira and Lindsay came over! We watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Then we ordered pizza and watched Starsky and Hutch. That is such a funny movie, I love it. After that, everyone left, so I was left alone. I wasn't really tired, although I SHOULD have been sleeping because I wasn't feeling well. I went upstairs and watched Napoleon Dynamite with Chris<3, the first time for both of us. I thought it was really funny, because it was just so random, and I love random. I might end up buying it someday. I think I'll watch it again later hahaa. During the movie Chris and I were talking, and after it too, and then we watched some videos of a high school performance he had but wasn't in. It was fun to watch. I miss high school performances hahaa. I feel asleep on his bed because I was just sooo tired and it was soooo comfy. I woke up around 3 and came back downstairs to sleep hahahaa. I love this boy. He always makes me laugh and feel good, and we talk about anything and it's interesting. Chris is also a random one hahahaa. I can't believe we're directing a show together!!!!! It is going to be sooo much fun times infinity. I can't wait to start. Auditions are going to be interesting. We need more people to sing up though...hopefully by Monday more people will have...I'm sure we'll have enough.
I don't know what I'm doing tonight, but it just may involve Karoake Revolution <3
