Back to School

So it is that time of the year again who knew it would come so soon....

Well an update. I have finished my first summer at All Stars Academy and am now a staff member who is on hand there for until i decide to quit lol. I will be working there when ever i am home for multiple weeks at a time to make money...yay! So i will be back at Christmas time and next summer again.

The bittersweet part of my summer has come and gone. Snoopy ended :(/:D NEw friends will be missed but those who are still in high school i will see all of your glorious faces at Thes Con '10 so all is well. The show ended with a kick ass final week full of scraeming fans and wonderful evenings. So we ended with a huge bang.

Now though due to high stress levels and no relaxation all summer i am very glad not to be working on any of the first shows at CSU this year....whew! I plan to relax and spend time with friends that i have missed all summer long! I am so ready to hit the road and be back in C-town! And thank god for my bestie having a new apartment warming party on Monday cause now i don't have to wait for move in to see their smiling faces. Move in thursday as well as Rocky Horror that night, un pack friday and convo that night and then groceries and other stuff saturday and woodstock party that night.....first weekend back is packed...what is new lol!

Time to hit the road and get ready for a fun filled joy ride of a yewar! Wahooo!

PEOPLE

Grrrrrr! People irk me! I don't understand why some people lead other people on...don't get me wrong i know i am bad at it myself, but if you talk to someone as if you like them and i mean really like them, and then suddenly stop texting them or responding to messages else where for no verbaly stated reason it is very degrading and disheartening.

PEOPLE! If you are tired of someone keeping in constant contact with them tell them to back off a little do not just stopp responding...that is rude in itself. I am talking to one person and if they read this they know who they are....

(getting off my soapbox now)

The Big Bow Wow

Wow what a week it has been! Our shows have been very interesting all week at Snoopy. We started out really rough this week with a less than desirable flop of a first night back. The acting and dancing was good but the songs were pitiful.....grrr. Well on top of that our Snoopy has contracted a kidney stone so with a one day notice one of male ensemble members had to become Snoopy on Friday night.....(he is our only male ensemble meber this week! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!)

It was one of our best shows...definently the funniest! We were having a rolicking good time backstage! Lines were twisted and flopped but it made for great shtick! And i had my best night vocally! Yes Thanks Jerry!

Well tonight our normal Snoopy was back...still hasnt passed the kidney stone...and he went on and gave a kick ass performance while in uber amounts of pain! God bless you kid! I couldnt ask for a better pet lol! It was once again a quite successful night.....tomorrow should be interesting. I CANT WAIT!

Here I Go Again

So life has been rocky the past month or so. I hate being home. I want to be back at school. I never have time to myself anymore. And i hardly get to see my friends. Someof this has to do with the parentals but work and Snoopy have consumed my life. Don't get me wrong i am enjoying what i do...but lately i have been asking my self if it is really worth the burned out ness i am living.

On top of that i am taking a break with said guy....i miss him uberly...and he misses me too...but the lack of physicallity was getting to us...one day we will manage to be together we both feel it. I know i sound cheesy and love strung...but something about him is unlike anything i have ever experience and i have to keep the hope there to get by without him.

Tonight was interesting though i hung out with my former rommie...adore him....but we almost got jumped tonight at our local shopping mall.....SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we were just walking when these three uberly scketch guys came from nowhere and started following us but not in a normal fashion...they were like jumping behind things when we would glance behind us. so we hid inside William Sonoma for a good ten minutes and the coast was clear so we went to the book store. We weren't there for more than ten minutes when the same three guys started to slowly circle the aisle we were on .....Jordan said he knew one of the guys and that guy murmmered something bashing homosexuals...jordan knew it would be bad if we stayed so we went to starbucks which was our final escape we had to make cause they finally disappeared.....but they were so scketch and i have never feared for my life so much!!!!!

Another plus to my life was finally seeing Harry Potter last night. Great movie....i might give it a review later this week.

sorry to sound bummed but life sucks right now.

Nice Work If You Can Get It

So I am now employed!!!!!! Yay! I am a summer camp teacher at a a day care in Newnan...yay All Stars Academy! I have only worked three days...this week will be my first full week....(insert excitement and nerves here.) Last week was my like training period so i didn't hev the kids by myself...this week i think i will. I am already in love with my group of kids....however high strung they can be at times...individually they are very sweet! Plus I already have a fave....he is adorable and attached himself to me from day one an d he is the nicest kid ever.

In addition to work I am also working on Snoopy! Which it is going really well...i am slightly behind everyone else in lines and solos but by the end of this week i hope to have caught up. I love the show. Our directors are great and the cast is superb. I am working with great people and we really mesh well! I can't wait till we open this show is going to kick butt!

aside from all that the downside is I want to leave home so bad. I am on edge with my parents about every little thing while i have done a few things to get under their skin I feel they are still traeting me like a child.....HELLO! I TURN TWENTY IN FIVE MONTHS AS OF TOMORROW!!!!! I FOR SURE AM NOT A CHILD!!!!! BACK OFF!!!!!!
I also am missing columbus and my college friends i plan on hanging out with a few in the next few weeks though so it might take my mind off the missing.

Well that is a brief update...if you read this and i know you...just wanna say i miss you oodles and think you should call or text me soon cause i am bored stiff at home!

Stranger in this World

So I have met this really amazing guy, he is absolutly fantastic....we are almost the same person except for two factors...we look nothing alike and he is BRITISH! Like he lives there and everything! He is a triple threat by theatre standards and he works as an assistant dance instructor. He is the most adorable guy you could get to know. And he is a generally sweet guy who makes sure you feel great about yourself... lol. I hope one day to meet him in person cause he is really awesome and has become a great friend thus far!

Craig you are fantastically amazing!

Being Alive

So today was kinda chill. I went to class, had lunch, and went to class again. Now i am here at the computer again.

Ironically all of my friends have been uber poetic lately on their blogs so i thought i should be too. But sadly as i sit here and try to be poetic and inspirational in my thoughts, they just won't flow...at all.

Life is good...except i scared the crap out of my mom unintentionally last night. so as you all know i am in Snoopy the musical...well...i had rehearsal last night back home so i had to drive from Columbus to Fairburn (not actually home but within 30 miles). It is about an hour and fifteen minute drive and because of traffic it was about an hour and a half drive to get there. Well coming back...at 9PM mind you....there was a little traffic till i got to I-185....then it dies after like 9 and there is no one on 185. So the traffic once again added fifteen minutes to my travel time which is usually about an hour and fifteen, but since there was virually no one but me on 185 i decided to drive about 50 miles per hour down the interstate...to conserve gas. Well I blare my music and apparently my mom tried to call me around 10:40 to see where i was and why i wasn't back so of course i didn't answer. So i finally pull in to the parking deck at 11....i left at 9....2 hours later...I call mom back dad picks up and i tell him i am back in C-Town so he then says mom wants to talk to you. CRAP! She picks up whimpering and sobbing..."Where have you been are you ok i was so worried I thought you were dead!"...had to calm her down then i got pissed off cause she was like if you were gonna be late you should have called...i call every time i leave to head home people...and she hates when i talk on my cell phone when i drive...never thought she would have a panic attack for me being thirty minutes late from rehearsal when I was trying to be a safe and responsible driver.

GO FIGURE!

Well now that i have bored you with my ordeals of last night I am gonna sign of until later!

Bye everyone!

Back To School

So today was the first day back to classes for Maymester at CSU. I was up at 8 had class from 9 to what was supposed to be 12:20.....AHHHHHHHH!!!! But luckily we got done with today's work in like an hour so i got out at about 10:15....Woot! I think i am going to enjoy Computer tech for the theatre....i mean i already love our professor but the class seems really fun too!

Right now i am in between Comp Tech and Bibb City theatre history.....and if mom is reading two of my books have arrived....

I am however really nervous about my first rehearsal for Snoopy! tonight. Mostly about all the late night driving i have to do....i have really bad night vision...hope i don't hit anything...lol....*whimper* I am also however really and uberly excited about having my first rehearsal tonight I can finally see how GREAT everyone sounds singing....hopefully GREAT...jk we all are fantastic...i know it!

Well hopefully I am getting back into the swing of blogging more regularly so as not to make people think i have fallen off the face of the earth....if anyone besides my close friends follow my blog....i doubt there is anyone else, but if there is...I APOLOGIZE!

Well bye for now

The World According To Snoopy!

So hey guys it has been a while since i posted last, almost five months i think....gah! Welll life this past semester at college has both been joyous and uber stressfull at the same time. I had the honor of getting cast in two productions: one, my friends freestage Breakfast for Three, and two, the one act Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Momma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' so Sad. They were both two of the greatest experiences i have had this year at CSU. Now i am working on my freestage for next year and if you read this and are at CSU pleasee come audition!

This has also been a rough semester for those of us at CSU. Between having your dorms pelted with tornadoes for numerous weekends too losing a person really dear to you it was a long final two months.

But every dark cloud has a silver lineing because durning the last week of classes i auditioned for a show back home and got cast in a leading role....my first leading role. I auditioned for a small community theatre production of Snoopy! the Musical and i got cast as Charlie Brown. While Snoopy is the star i am right behind him. I even have my own solo where i am alone on stage....nervous...yes i am...but excited too. I am also excited about this cast. While i have worked with most of them before, we have many new comers to this community theatre. In fact other than three of us in the main cast the others are all new to Southside. And they are uber awesome and nice people. Our ensemble though i haven't heard them sing or seen them dance yet i know are gonna be great and might possibly steal the show at times. So once again if you know me and are reading this come see it cause it is going to be a fantastic show......and if you get in good with me there might be a comp ticket in it for you....lol!

I am also uber excited about SUMMER! I get to go to Miami in three weeks! I haven't been to the beach in what feels like two years. It will be nice just to chill with my family for a week without having to worry about school or work.....yes i will be working this summer....grrrrr....but money is a great plus side to it! But i am really excited cause my parents are goin to drive us down to the Keys for a day...maybe two....one can beg and plead!

Well there is alot more i could say but i am pressed for time so i love you guys and hope...if you are out already.....you are having a great summer thus far.....or if you are like me have three more weeks......when summer comes you have a great one!

Bye for now

Andrew
