The Miserable Ones

 I'm going to be on a bit of a serious note for this one. Sorry to disappoint.


Les Miserables.
It's kinda been my life for the last 3 months.
Consuming my every waking moment... and some of my sleeping ones too.
I love it.
And this weekend are our final performances. I can't bear to lose it.
I'm going to cry closing night.
I'm going to feel so empty without it.
Every show you do is different. They have a different environment, a different feeling with each one. And this one... Has changed my life. I'd like to say thank you to everyone involved. Thank you techies for your speedy mic changes and always being so on top of all the set changes. Thank you to Mamma Wygant and to Bauer. Without you this show couldn't have been possible. Thank you for giving me the opprotunity to be part of something so wonderful. Thank you to A^K for being the best stage manager anyone could have asked for. And thank you to my fellow cast members. I love you all. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to have the expierence I've had. I've made so many new friends and so many old friendships have been rekindled... Thank you.

I owe so much to this play and I didn't even realize any of it until opening night when A^K told us how Les Mis has changed her life and how we've been the best cast and crew she could've asked for. She told us how she loved us all so much and how she couldn't have asked for a better senior year. And I started to think. This may be the last musical I EVER do. And I got really sad, but then I got really happy because I know just as well as A^K knows... I couldn't have asked for anything better. The first day of rehearsal I just kept thinking how it was going to take so long to get to opening night, and slowly it just popped up. Days seemed to pass by where I was building the set and everyone came in for rehearsal and before I knew it rehearsal was over, and it was time to go home. So many of those days passed me by. SO MUCH of the rehearsals I just spent enjoying the music, enjoying the people, and enjoying Les Mis. I love it so much.

So if you get a chance, come see it. It's good. And I'm not just saying that because I'm in it. Trust me, I would tell you if it sucked.

Old Hallows Eve

Halloween. A glorious holiday where small children dress up in ADORABLE costumes and people can dress in whatever the heck they want and no one judges them. I believe we should all have this kind of attitude all of the time. Who cares what people wear it's their lives. Let 'em do whatever the heck they want, it doesn't effect you.
Anyway... On a lighter note. I love Halloween. It's grand, a grand ol' time. I haven't really dressed up the last couple years( I like to pretend I'm one of those cool kids..) but this year I did. 6 of my friends and I dressed up as the 7 dwarves. We dressed up in tshirts and hats which I had spend all hours of the night making. It was grand, unfortunately we didn't get any pictures. I then spent that night party hopping. Smalls and I went to a butter beer party where we made butter beer from harry potter, and I must say it was AWFUL! The foam kept reproducing.We then got picked up by a newly found friend, Curly. He, McKayKay, Smalls and I headed over to A^K's house to party it up and watch movies. But that didn't quite happen like it was planned to... Smalls was having a hard time soooo McKayKay, Curly and I played on A^K's spiral staircase outside. It was quite the adventure
I'd like to take a moment and thank Mckaykay..(again) for being such a great example to me. she always sees the positive in everything and has a great outlook on life. And I adore her for that.

Band Name... Band Name...

So I have this thing for band names...
OK, so it's not so much me as it is my friends...
OK, not so much my friends as... J*Coy...
Back on topic. Band names.
They're fun. Anytime someone says something and it sounds kinda cool "Hey! that could be a band name"
I have a few favorites myself
"The Blue Zoo"- Courtesy of McKayKay
"The Loudest Whisper"- That one's mine :)

But my all time FAVORITE
"Hefty Mallard"
this one's all Ren's.
So we went on this double date. Ike and I and J*Coy and Ren.
We went to get icecream at our local handy dandy Macey's.
And we basically ran into all of our friends there. SOOOO what's the logical thing for them to do?

Fill Ike's car with random things.
New moon pictures and wolf figurines,
Old movies and...
One Hefty Mallard.
There was a wooden duck sitting in between the two front seats.
Highlight of the night? Perhaps? NAH! But that's for another post.
 SOOOOOooooOOOOO in memory of that night
I made album covers,
for our band,
Hefty Mallard

 Here's to you Hefty Mallard
