Apocalypse

So. I survived 2012.

Whaddup.

But really, we all don't want to die. That's the last way i would want to spend my first day of christmas break. But really, the myans probably just predicted the world going to shit. Because that seems to be how things are working out lately. The shooting in Conneticut is the most ridiculous thing that i have ever heard. That guy was sooo messed up to have gone in a school that has had done nothing to him and shoot innocent children and heroic adults. Its hard to make sense of that. In my home town, there was a shooting two days after that at what we call the "Ghetto Dillons." Two police officers were shot and killed. The guy didnt even kill himself after, just hid. First of all, you are messed up to be able to shoot and kill someone. But if you can shoot and kill someone, and then choose to LIVE with the guilt... There are way more things wrong with you than imaginable.

Come on world, we are better than this..


Or are we?

Christmas Miracles.

I did it. He's trained. The kid is just nervous, i should have know. I would complain because I was always the one to compliment him and he would never return it. It was just me looking hopelessly in love and him responding with a " :)" which is RIDICULOUSLY hard to respond to, by the way.  But we went on our christmas date yesterday. We went to Winter Wonderland, the big christmas light drive thru. We went through and he gave me my present. He got me the soundtrack to my favorite broadway musical, flowers, and a card that meant more to me than anything. He grabbed the card, got red in the face, and said "Here, I'll read it to you.

"Since you are always fueling my big head, its time to return the favor. ****, you are so smart, funny, talented, pretty, nice, and you make me smile."

To which I responded in his card:
"Well, where to begin.. You are absolutely fantastic. You're beyond talented, incredibly funny, and insanely smart. How about them adjetives? :)Merry Christmas to the best boyfriend, singing partner, and the best best friend. You're the best."


After we got starbucks after the date and he took me home, I texted him thanking him for the gift and the date. I then said "You're the best. :)" because i always say that. And normally he says "haha." but this time, i got ":) No, you're the best." ...I could get used to this whole, relationship thing. :)

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.

Im in one of those places right now. Where I get to thinking. And when I get to thinking, problems are caused.
Him. He gets really awkward when he hugs me in public. He gets uncomfortable when he wants to hold my hand. He can never tell when he should be touching me or looking at me in fear that his "friends" will say something.
He got upset when i didnt wear his letter jacket, and he looked nervous when I was texting my really good friend Austin. So, it shows that he cares. At least... I think.

But last night we had a performance. I sang a song and had to find a dress for the performance. It took me forever to find the dress. I got TONS of compliments. Even from the guys in drama club. Everyone did. Everyone, but him. Everyone commented on my song and how it was a "high point" of the performance.. but him.

He is so open to telling Marya how much he likes me and how perfect this is, but the only thing he'll say to me is something someone said about us and "break a leg." Last night, he even let his ex-girlfriend to his make-up for the show. He didnt want to put any on, so Corey did it for him. They laughed and talked as I sat behind the skrim listening to them. Thats one of the things that make me uneasy.

I'm the best.

So, as you know, I am in theatre. No, it's not a sport, but it takes a lot of hard work and determination.

I just finished doing Brecht's "A Good Woman of Setzuan." Brecht, for those of you who don't know, is an awesome playwright who's work is ...pretty difficult. I was fortunate enough to play Wong, the water seller. Yeah.... A boy. BUT that's not the point. We invited judges to come see our show so they could judge us and see if we could get to thespian conference. We didn't make conference, but we got our notes back today. All the leads got notes that were pretty critical. And then, he said my name. My heart was pounding like crazy... But what I got was unexpected. I... was the best. The best. Oh. My. God. All those comments were amazing. My only criticism was "The hat sometimes shadowed your very expressive  face." MY LIFE WAS MADE. I love theatre. My head is SO BIG RIGHT NOW. K, that's all. :)
