memorial

i'm spending the weekend with these three crazies. we're doing memorial day weekend wi/ paul's family in the nashville area. and there's a renaissance fair on monday. yay!!! i've never done that before.

apples to apples

this is a brilliant game, and i highly recommend it.
of course, that might have something to do with the fact that i've been playing it every night this week. david, susan s. and paul shoulders are also around for the summer, and so my place has become the place to hang out it seems. fine by me. =) you know how i hate coffee and good company.

demand

i've been told i need to post something new by several people now... and it surprises me that i haven't posted in a while! but not. last week was finals, and the weekend before i moved into my house. quite exhausted. and of course now, i'm limited to dial-up internet which i haven't set up yet... and, i've been in kansas this weekend.

summer has just about arrived. school's out, it's warm and stormy in tennessee, and the boys are leaving for zimbabwe tomorrow... i just found out for sure that i'll be working at the library this summer - yay! and i'm extremely happy that we're doing summer theatre too.

ummmm.... that's all i have for now, but at least this won't freak you out like drew does chara. =)

it's back

an old friend came out to haunt me during the run of the play... here's the question: DO i look like drew barrymore?? seriously? that's just weird.

high

the play is over, and i didn't want it to end... i'm on a "theatre high" right now i think. we had our theatre majors debriefing for "winter's tale", and thursday we have spotlight awards - the final touch to an incredible semester performance-wise for me.

sometimes i really doubt myself and my choice to pursue theatre. in fact, when i came back this semester, i told dr. t that i wasn't sure i'd major in theatre anymore. winter's tale was my test run. i felt like if i did this play and it ended up feeling like pride and prejudice part deux, then i didn't need to pursue a career in the performing arts. and... somehow, magically, it WASN'T that way anymore.

i was telling susan h. that i feel like such a geek because i don't want the process of making the show, and then performing it, to end. even with all the stress of getting papers and tests done, and the exhaustion of the late nights and drain of focusing and playing hermione, i loved it. and it's no longer about impressing anyone, or getting approval, it's about telling the story and making one incredible moment after another... it's curtain call, and the genuine joyful triumph each one of us - cast and crew - feels as we grip eachother's hands and take a bow.

and now, there's a possibility of a SUMMER SHOW... dr. t asked us how many would be here this summer, and if we'd be interested in doing one. yeah!! and then, and then and then... i'm going to NEW YORK CITY for a week, and getting 3 hours credit for it too.

i feel so blessed right now, that God has provided me with this haven, this place full of friends, love and the joy of doing something i am passionate about. and now, i have to finish this paper. =)
