Post-Charlie Brown

Hello my ladies,

Charlie Brown was an amazing show - it's been such a huge part of my life for the past few months that my life feels rather...empty now that it's over. Oh well. There will be more shows...I hope.

My parents are really trying to make me stop taking drama. :/ I have to admit, it adds a lot of stress to my life, it's a huge time commitment, and I probably wouldn't do it if we didn't do the musical. I always consider quitting it until around this time every year. Then musical season comes around and I fall in love again.

Speaking of love...

A few days ago our theatre class/club/group/thing went to a theatre competition at a local community college. My friend, Max, and I were running around watching different events and we eventually found ourselves in the Maxi Musical competition space - this is a competition where schools put together roughly 10 minutes of a musical and perform it. We saw several shows, Seussical the Musical (which was...not very good...), Sweeney Todd (which was decent), and Aida.

We fell in love with Aida.

This school was amazing; it seemed like all of the talent in California was focused into this one school. They had the dancers, the singers...it was amazing.

More than that, I think I really fell in love.

The boy who was playing Radames (the main male role in Aida) had a voice that literally had me clutching my chest and holding my breath, clenching my legs, arms, teeth; he was amazing. I went up to him after the competition and let him know that I thought he'd done a wonderful job. He thanked me and that was that.

The next day of the competition, Max and I went again to watch the finals for the Maxi Musical competition. Again, this boy had me on my feet, giving them a standing ovation at the end of their performance. Anyways, this time I went up to him and found out his name and school.

I felt very stalkerish, but I added him on facebook. :/ I still don't know whether that was the right choice or the wrong choice. But once I realized he'd rejected my friend request I sort of felt like dying. I crawled into bed and slept for two hours.

I guess to him I'm just some weird girl he doesn't even know. But I really wanted to get to know this guy...I just wanted to get to know him. I don't know. Was I being a creep? Right now I feel like I was. But at the same time...I don't know. It took several episodes of The Office and many friends' counsil to get me to feel better. It still hurts inside, though.

Love at first sight? Nah...it was love at first note.

But little seems to be working out in my life right now. Strangely, the more I talk about this, the more I feel like a creep.

Ugh.

Anyways, Charlie Brown was an amazing show. I fell in love with my character (Sally)...I can still do her voice. :]

Other than that, my grades are suffering because I've been so busy. How do you guys do it?

Junior prom is coming up here...as of now my future looks bleak. If a guy doesn't ask me within the next few days I have to decide whether to go alone or not. I don't know if I want to go alone. After this whole singing-boy incident, I'm not very much interested in other guys. It really does kind of sting me inside. But prices go up after this week. Bleh. Guys either need to make a move or...I need to give up hope.

Wendy! Are those pictures from junior prom??? :DDD You look shmexy as always, darlin'. :]]

Missin' all of you from Cali,
Yeans
