Spring Break..it was wonderful!

Well, Godspell is officially over. And I am fully enjoying all of the extra time I've had! I spent Monday to Wednesday in Frederick. (With the Silards.) It was a blast! We watched..and slept through...a couple good movies, took walks to the, get this, one room library, walked on some train tracks at ten o'clock at night and found ourselves on a highway, played with Dude, (a cat they found.) and just hung out. Good times....

Then I came home, went grocery shopping my Anna and stopped by Starbucks to find Lizzy sitting there! So we decided to go a sleepover at my place. I watched the office first, then they showed up around 11, we talked and stuff for a few hours, then went to bed. When I woke up Friday morning, they weren't there. But off to babysitting jobs. Then I spent all day Friday with my mom shopping! It was a wonderful week.

Saturday morning I caught up on chores and stuff then Anna, Alex, Ben and I went over to Evan's house to hang. Which we did for like five hours! Ha!

Today was the Godspell Cast Party. It was soooo good to see everyone. Sarah Ryan made Mrs. Mays this beautiful album and each cast member had a page in it. The page contained pictures of us, and a note from each of us. As I flipped through the album, memories from these past seven months flooded back into my mind.

That's mostly it...Time to go.

A Year Ago Today....

I was on my way to Sienna....::sigh:: I feel old. Man, that was a year ago? Go to www.tic-tac-tantor.blogspot.com if you feel like reading about my travels.

This is a pic that Josh Tucker took of me and Joanna Jones on the first Saturday Night of Godspell. I am deff gonna miss singing backround with her! =(

Well, this is my first Saturday since sometime in September that I haven't had any type of Godspell rehearsal. Last night I stayed up extremly late...(for me anyways.) and watched Maroon 5 DVD's with my brother. I must say they are extremely talented.

It's strange...it hasn't hit me yet that Godspell is like, over. Maybe it never will...

Oh, here is a super funny video that makes me laugh really hard everytime I watch it!

Okay well, I'm sick. I've had three cups of coffee and six and a half cups of tea today and I still can't sing! Ahh! I need my voice back! Time to go watch more movies...bye.

Sorry about the last post...It was boring, I know

Bwahaha! My posting my lit papers to get critque idea really worked! LOL! Like anyone would even want to read those.....aha!

Okay....so even though Godspell is like consuming my life and stuff. I know I am going to like...really really miss it! This happens after every musical...During the schoolyear I get totally swamped and can't wait until I have free weekends to catchup on homework, go out with friends, be with my family and whatever else I may want to or need to do. But after it's all said and done, especially the first couple of weeks after closing night, I superly miss it! I am going to have to join a chior or something soon...cause after Godspell is over, I won't really be singing for anything....sadness. =(

Well, I just got back from a last minute rehearsal. We changed alot of On the Willows. It's better this way. Alot better. The goodbyes are more personal now and make more sense. (To me at least.) Ahhh! Only three more days.....

Oh My Land!

Well....what to say...

Have had Godspell all this past week. This is actually my first "day off" since um....Thursday, March 15th. So...it's been nice.

Both of the proformances went well. (That's what I think at least!) Except for the fact that both Brett and Ally were sick on opening night. =( But they were both able to proform on Saturday, so that was good. Jeremy came home from school for the weekend and is coming back next weekend to catch the last two proformances!

Well, I am pretty much swamped with homework right now...and extremly tired. So, I should go. Everyone go listen to a yellowcard song...I would put up a link if I had time....

Okay...so I was wrong.

Hm....busy homework day.....almost done with my first lit paper that is due on Friday, about to start the second. Still need to practice piano today and finnish some biology before tomorrow.

Recently, I've been reading over Matthew in my devotions. It's been really great cause Matthew is really coming to life to me. So much of the Godspell script is taken from Matthew that no matter what I read, there is a moment in the show that I am reminded of. I would highly recommend reading over Matthew these next few weeks, if you are planning on seeing the show.

Speaking of which....Production week commences tomorrow!!! Very exciting and very unnerving...but I am really looking forward to the Production Nights! I am going to be sooo sad when it's all over. Man, I can hardly remember weekends without rehearsals! Please be praying that we complete a lot in this next week, but most importantly that we glorify God as we proform this show.

Well, I should go finnish my school.

Not that anyone reads this....

Okay, so Godspell went well today. After warming up, I was sent over to help my mom out with teaching the singing usher's their parts for Day by Day and Light of the World. They got everything super fast, it's really gonna be great.

Then we did fixes for the rest of the night. Seemed to me like we got alot done, but I don't really have anything to compare it to. At some point in the evening, I understudied for each of the girls. So that was cool, cause I had never really done Lauren before, and it had been awhile since I'd done Ally. I actually just got home from rehearsal...it was a long one! Tomorrow we have rehearsal from 9:30-4:30....yikes! But I am excited not only cause we are doing a run, (starting at oneish) but then I am going to frederick to hang out with my "second family" the Silards. It will be great fun. Sunday, I'll go to thier church, then come home in time for family night. Yeah, it may mess up my school week, but oh well. This is prolly the last time I'll get to go up before Godspell is over...so it's worth it.

I don't have anything else to say really....I need to go to sleep.....

Another Moday....=)

Okay time for some music!!!

www.purevolum.com/yellowcard2

This is one of my all time favorite bands. I recommend the song believe. It honors the firefighters who served on 9/11. Listen to it if you are reading this and have a chance.

Okay, another song I really like is this.

www.purevolume.com/emery

Listen to Returning the Smile You Had From the Start. It's a beautifully written song. (thanks to the mikes for showing me this band.) It can be a little instense for some ppl though....haha.

Okay, so...Godspell is going really well. We have completed Act I and Act II! (Yaye!) So I guess we'll be working fixes and running the show until it starts. The Proformances are March 23, 24, and the following Friday and Saturday.

Here are some Godspell pics. http://weddingpixel.com/slideshows/Godspell/
That weeked I was understudying for Britt. K. and Roger...(Anna Somerville) was understudying for her sister Sylvie.

Okay then, I should be going.
