It's been a long time since my last post. I know I suck at daily things. So sue me.
First thing's first: Seussical. Well, it's done and I miss it tons. I have to say, this was the first show I've been in where I have a lead, and I couldn't have been more proud or happy with how it came out. The people involved were all so amazing and talented and beautiful, and the show itself seemed to be ADORED by audiences! The review came out today... But I haven't ventured out of my room yet today. More on that later.
It really was super, super fun, though. The thing that I will remember the most will be the Saturday matinee, though. Our Thursday matinee for schools was cancelled due to a CRAZY snow storm, so the executive added an additional show on the Saturday, so that was the day when all the cute kids came. Well, there's one part when I come onto the stage and cry, but as I was about to do so, a little girl in the audience goes, "Look! It's the Cat!"
I almost died.
Then, after the show, the cast gets to go out into the audience and see friends and family. I barely got to do that, though, because the minute I went into the audience, I was swarmed by children. Best. Feeling. Ever! And they all wanted pictures and all wanted high fives and hugs... Loved it. So happy.
Other than that, though, nothing can prepare you for bows. Like I said, this was my first "lead" in a show, and if you're a performer like I am, nothing can prepare you for the applause that you get when you get that final bow. I almost cried. Multiple times. And people standing! Ah! I LOVE PERFORMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cast party = ridiculous. But what happens at cast party, stays at cast party.
Except for this.
But now I`m back in Sackville, missing my boyfriend and my best friend.
Did I mention I'm sick? Cause I am. It sucks. It really hit me right after Seussical ended. I was coughing and such in Halifax, but it wasn't that bad. THEN, almost immediately after I returned from Halifax, I got super sick. Hacking coughs, running nose, aches and pains... Not fun.
That's about it for now. Other exciting news is that I got the lead in the final Windsor Theatre show of the year, "Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)". The lead's name is Contance Ledbelly, and the entire premise of the play follows Constance as she tries to prove that Romeo and Juliet and Othello are both actually comedies! But somewhere along the line she gets pulled into both worlds... and chaos ensues. It's pretty awesome. I have more lines than Hamlet, though...
So that's it for me. A good catch up, if I do say so myself! Coming up are the Vagina Monologues in a week! I guess it's time for me to start memorizing my monologue!

WE ARE CUTE! MY SHIRT BLENDS IN WITH THE COUCH!
I had the most amazing surprise, though. This woman.
LOOK AT HOW PRETTY SHE IS!
A little while before my mom came back from BC to see Seussical, she asked me if I wanted anything from Kamloops. I said "Just you and Shannon, but I know I can't have one of those."
Lucky for me, I got both.
Crazy thing is, I had left my phone in my room that morning, and when Shannon had sent me a text saying that she was in my meal hall, I didn't get the text. I had to go up to my room to get my meal card before I realized my phone was still up there. Then, checking the texts, I promptly freaked out, scaring both Chris (the best boyfriend ever!) and Becca (the best friend ever!). Hugs in meal hall were long and crazy.
What made me even more happy than the fact that Shannon got to see me in a show was that she and Chris got along SO WELL. It was CRAZY!
Anyway, show done, Shannon and I decided to take a trip to Halifax. I mean, I didn't want Shannon getting bored in Sackville! Classes? Who needs them? SO off we went! We saw a Picnicface show http://www.youtube.com/user/picnicface?blend=1&ob=4 which was entertaining beyond belief, went shopping, slept a lot, went shopping again, Shannon got to see her family members in the area, etc! It was a lot of fun.
Literally liquid sugar in a tube.
