| | so 2007 is almost over. i can tell i'm getting older because i'm sitting here thinking "where did the time go?" next thing you know it'll be "those were the good old days." yikes. its not really a xanga post unless i say something to the effect of "gee, i wish i was better about updating this thing, but i'm just so busy/lazy/tired/overworked to do it," so there that is. here is a brief (and by brief i mean not really) overview of some stuff that happened this year, which i write mostly so i can remember it in forty years as i sit in my rocker surrounded by cats as i reflect on the afforementioned "good old days," which i'm told are happening right now. so here we go. january: there was lots of ice in waco, and school got cancelled one time. emily and meredith and i stayed home all day and colored and watched movies instead of doing our mountains of homework...typical. there was spaco night at zach/sky/sam/justin's apartment, complete with popsicles and interpretive dancing. brittany, joey and justin got cast in earnest and i was happy for them. the friendship star invented the awkward swan secret handshake.i joined the front of house crew. my theatre history diorama on sarah bernhardt ate my soul. i was on the other end of guerrilla troupe auditions, which was actually more nervewracking than auditioning myself. we accepted patrick, joey, sky, clay and matt as our newest guerrillas.
february: i worked backstage for annie get your gun and ended up doing a lot more than i was supposed to do but had a blast anyway...sometimes i straightened patrick's hair and he hated me for it  . graham cast me in his postmodern scene called words words words in which i played a monkey named kafka who was working with two other monkeys (justin and sky) to type hamlet - an amazingly fun scene, but murder on my knees. i also got to be in haley's advanced directing shakespeare scene, comedy of errors. AND i was in liz conly's beginning directing scene, vanities. i'm actually least proud of that scene...i really feel like i didn't do good work. oh well. i went to oscar parties at meredith's and erica's apartments. friendship star celebrated valentines day at red lobster.
march: i was in amanda wray's beginning directing scene, the secret rapture...oh memories. there were lots of parties at "the house." i was cast as miriam waslyk in traci's summer show moon over the brewery, which was the biggest and most unexpected blessing of my life. and emmie was cast in it with me, and joey was cast in infinite ache and sam and patrick got cast in sylvia (and patrick was the lead!) spring break happened and i got to go visit everyone at cccs before prom. patrick got his tonsils taken out so i played florence nightingale as he coughed up blood... fun? we had a really neat guerrilla troupe show with a legends of the hidden temple theme. GO BLUE BARRACUDAS. and then there was the week from hell when my wallet got stolen, $1500 was taken from my bank account, my car got towed, and erica went home for health reasons. that was a stressful several days.
april: wheeeeeeee, a new cell phone! i had the birthmark on my back removed and got a really neat scar in its place. facebook's layout changed severely and it took a long while to get used to...many were unhappy...oh, minifeed. emmie was baptized! i did hair and makeup for earnest and got to hang out with that whole amazing cast. emmie, patrick and i were hosts for the UIL one act play contest, which was amazing. we celebrated diadelernie, as usual. i played margaret in beki's shakespeare scene much ado about nothing, which we also performed for lots of high schoolers at waco hall, which was an interesting experience. erica came to visit and there was friendship star-ness at island party. lindsay came to visit from a&m! i discovered [title of show], had bahama bucks for the first time and passed my world oceans lab. brittany got her kitten, who would soon grow into kingsley, the demon feline of holiday hammons.
may: banquet was amazing, except for the part where we had to say goodbye to the seniors and the part where there was some drama, but overall it was incredible and my dress was pink and very twirly, which covers a multitude of sins. i passed all my classes, including world oceans which was touch and go at one point, and shakespeare which i started out hating but grew to almost love. i moved into my new fancy one bedroom apartment and started my summer job at the musuem, which i started out loving but grew to not. those of us who were in waco over the summer celebrated mary and meredith's 21st birthdays, which were a lot of fun. patrick and i dressed up all matchy matchy and looked very nice for elizabeth dunlap's wedding, which was gorgeous. and finally i was able to go home to see my cccs loves graduate high school. oh, high school. on may 29th i ate at panda express, which is important for reasons undisclosed. now i'm tired, so i'll finish this tomorrow...we're going to fort worth to stay with the royals for new years, so maybe i can write in the car. if i'm not sleeping. teehee. |
