Lenaea

  • Ahhhh!

    A lot has happened but either I've been too busy, lazy, or sick to write.  Lol.

    Well, Lenaea was two weeks ago and was fun!  We got a good reception from our audience, and I remember Rachel being a-maze-zing!  J'erycke and Troy won an award for their scene, and it was a crazy feeling when people called me "Lady Liberty" throughout the after-festival party because they remembered me from the play.  My monologue didn't go as hot as I wanted, because I accidentally omitted the end of my monologue and didn't have the same build that I had in rehearsals and at the MTHS preview.  But it was still all goooood, and all the other monologues did really well, and at least I still had a really big amount of fun playing Lady Liberty.  :)   Plus, I got to spend the whole day with Phuc, which I always appreciate, and I had more bonding time with Celebration and Deborah.  Which I love, because I really secretly want to bond with the underclassmen so that I have an excuse to come see the school play next year.  :)

    OMGOSH, my parents didn't see my play because they forgot that the Thursday show was a matinee and while they were ready to come at 7, I was already done at 6.  >_>.  So I'm going to be bugging Digital Video Club (is that wut they're called) for a copy of the show.  How would I go about doing that..?

    Then, Valentine's Day was okay.  The day before Valentine's, which was the last school day of the week, I gave Phuc and Chau cupcakes that I spent all night before making and decorating!  I really think I am starting to enjoy the decorating process more than the baking process.  Partially because I really suck at the baking part.  I always fill the cups either too much and they bloom into little egg-shaped cupcake flowers, or not enough and they don't reach the rim of the cupcake liner. ;_;  At least practice makes perfect!  Lol, does anyone want freebie cupcakes so I don't always just bake cupcakes and only share with my parents and Phuc?  xd  But on Valentine's Day itself, I spent the whole afternoon out with my parents then Phuc spent the evening with his friends, so I got mad at him when he got home at around 10 pm.  D:  We talked a lot though and felt better after, and it's okay because Phuc is observing White Day on March 14th!  We discussed that a long time ago because Phuc has to face our anniversary, Christmas, and my birthday all very close together, so I do Valentine's and he does White Day to give him some padding between holidays.  So yee, we have another opportunity to make up for our unfortunate Valentine's Day.  But at least our Valentine's Day Eve was really really nice.  ^^

    And omgosh, in AP Literature, I sit across the room from Phuc but we face each other, so I have the habit of making funny faces at him from across the room.  >_>  Phuc told me today about how Mr. Kjargaard notices me making faces, so I'm so embarassed now!  omggggg.  So I guess I'm going to have to tone that down, although..... making funny faces is so fun. ;-;

    OMG I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW U2 ALBUM OMG

    i now want to watch the office

    GOODBYE
    D:<!!

  • Hey, world.

    Happy belated birthday to Daniel and Hukaru, and happy early birthday to Chocolate.  ;)

    Things have gotten busier.  I definitely can't just assume the napping position when I get home from school.  Finals week!  And starting next week, due to WHAP, there definitely won't be too much long restful sleeping or -- God forbid! -- MapleStory.  D:

    On a rather pimped out note, after all the cheery little blogs over the last two years of my absolute joy of being Stage Manager of the various MTHS Drama Productions, I'm actually going to be on stage!  :O  And by myself!  :OO 

    Background info for my not-from-MTHS-or-do-go-to-MTHS-but-don't-follow-the-Drama-events readers: Annually, the Lenaea Festival is held at Sac State -- it's a theatre festival/competition in which each high school participating chooses students to perform four monologues, two scenes, and a one-act at the festival.  Along with the acting mastas Adam, Christine, and Melanie, I was chosen to perform my monologue at two MTHS previews (Jan 31/Feb 1) and at the Lenaea Festival itself.  :D

    So I'm nervous/excited.  This is earnestly my first time on the stage of the Blackbox Theatre in a production, and it's quite humbling to actually be recognized in this field in some way, rookie as I am.  I've always put my heart and soul in supporting the school's thespians in the plays I've managed, so it's remarkable to think that I'm actually going to be the one watched, rather than being in the corner, watching in pride.  It's crazyy.  :x

    ::hopes i dun screw up::

    Hmmph.  I miss San Jose sometimes.  I'd wonder how things would be like if I didn't move away now and then.  But at other times, I really do believe that this is where I'm supposed to be at this exact time.  So much has revolved around that Theatre, and I don't know what I'd be without that present in my life.  Who would I meet if I lived in San Jose now?  What would've happened?  The one most definitive thing I know is that I wouldn't have met Phuc, which is very God Forbid.  I love knowing that despite the year and a half that's passed since I've moved, contact hasn't been broken from precious people from San Jose.

    I hope we have a reunion or something someday.  :x

    call it mystery or anything, just as long as you call me

    Bye for now.
