Over already?

So, CTE, my theatre, announced this season's shows. And next spring I will be taking my leave, with Pinnochio. I'll be a freshmen, and I'll be graduating.

Um....HUH?!?!

So what's been going on around here?

Tomorrow is sister Laura's graduation. My grandparents are coming any minute.

I just gave Eponine her first bath-she was not happy with me and I have battle scars to prove it. :oP
She keeps fluffing herself and I hope she isn't too cold. Oh well, Scooter takes baths alot and never gets too cold as to die or anything. (Well, duh)

Um so Laura has aLOT of work to do as Mama isn't helping her. So I am as a graduation gift to her.

So the bad news here is, it looks as though Les Miserables' rights do not allow....anyone. Under 15. To be in the show. I know.

I KNOW!!! NOOooOO!!!!

I've been in tears twice since I heard, which was at 8 p.m. I am so sad!

Oh well! Pollyanna will prevail! I'll see the show 5+ times. Plus also lots of other people are disappointed at not being able to be in it since the ages are 15-18 (which quite frankly sucks!)
But I hate this! Okay okay, Emma! Enough ranting.

Grandparents should be here and I am going out to wait for them!

Now THAT......

.....is enough to make me happy.



Which is vital as I'm VERY disappointed since it looks like I am not getting a song to sing during this show. I feel like it's unfair and I feel like I sing way better then those that did. Oh, that is an awful and vain thing to say, but right now it's true. *sigh*

P.S. I think I will sing "Think of me" from Phantom of the Opera for LM auditions but I am not sure. It is a good song for my voice, I can sing it well and the style of the song matches LM's for the most part; my only concern is that it is too popular and they will think I wasn't choosing a song for my voice. I don't know, I just don't know :oP

Just some random notes....

So I've just been relaxing, doing really nothing these past few days....which eggs on thinking about this and that and here is the result of that quiet pondering.

• Tonight is the first Mega-hits of the 60's rehearsal. Well, not exactly, it's actually a meeting. It is also my friend's 16th birthday, he is in the show so I can give him a Mickey shaped lollipop tonight and ask what it feels like to finally be "free" LOL! Yay! Happy Birthday Mark :-)
• Oh, so my Pastor's sermon was remarkable yesterday; as his sermons always are and I got quite a bit of knowledge from that one. Such as, you should aim yourself, your actions and your life in its entirety towards the Lord; and when you desire something, even if it is good, never let it overcome your desire for the Lord. Oh what valuable lessons I learn from simply going to church every Sunday and I couldn't get through the week if I didn't.
• I made out my dying wishes :oP Which sounds silly for a 14-year-old to do, but as I've learned from the blog Hannah and Lily (see left) life can be short and can end at any time.
• Mother's day is coming up...hmm. No money in my pocket naturally dah-ling, but I have to do something as though my Momma does things here and there that tip me off she's my Mum and the things she does for me!

• School is nearing to an end and I am ecstatic....but melancholy as I am nearing the end of my 9-year homeschooling run. NINE YEARS! And here I will be in a completely different environment with people I don't know!! I will miss my Mom of course...but I'm happy I can finally make new friends and be with people more on a day-to-day basis.

Ah so....I know my posts have been kind of uninspiring lately....but summer is soon to come and with it, LOTS AND LOTS of new things to do and then SCHOOL! I will have a lot to talk about then, just not much time to do it in :oP

I wish you all a great week :o)

VA Tech....one year later

Please pray for the families who lost one of the most valuable things in their lives - their child.

On a lighter note: Happy Birthday Rachel! Have a good 13th.

It's all over....

Placing Out ended today. Was I sad? A little. But! I come bearing good news! But first, you all have to endure a slew of irrelevant pictures taken today at random. Lucky you!!




And if you're wondering about the fish....his name is Leonard!!

The good news is: this fall the older kids are doing LES MISERABLES!!! For those of you that don't know, Les Miz is my FAVORITE broadway show--and, I know alot of shows! :oP

The only issue is, I have this agonizing fear of not getting in. Sure, the odds of it are slim since heck, I've been in the theatre, devoted and focused for HALF my life--but the odds are still there and it's driving me CRAZ-AY!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, well, if it's God's will, Les Miz here I come! :o)

Friends

I've had friends who have treated me bad, and some who were my saving grace.

Today I had both.

Oh, WHAT would I do without those friends, who will except me for who I am? Who will actually go UP to that person who made me cry and tell them off, even though they'd get "the hand"???

WHAT?!?!?!?!

Anyway, today was the first show! It went well, though I didn't enjoy it as much as I should've. Oh, well. Tomorrow is opening night, and, the cheering audience will make me feel better, as always.

"There's no business, like show business, like no business I know...."

Argh

I hate this, because all day today I haven't been able to do anything because when I get upset it really really tips me off and everything reminds me of him. It sucks, because since that person decided to be mean, my entire day is wasted on being sad. Argh! I wish I could be happy, but I can't! I want to have a good day but my heart (literally) feels heavy. I hate to complain, but, I need to vent and I need to now. *sigh*

I wish you all a better day. I'm going to go hang out with sweet Abby.

Sigh, sigh sigh

You know what I hate? People who have no sense of humor. People who get mad when you joke around about something. I really do......I won't go into detail, but I'm feeling down about something my friend said last night. Usually I feel better overnight but not this time. Oh, well.

On a lighter note! I worked hard on getting my birthday party invitations out and I thought they looked nice, so I took pictures (after coloring out my address. LoL!):


I liked them. I'm excited for the party, when I can have all my friends who will kid with me.....

Anna and Jeremy are coming tomorrow!!!!!!!!! WOO!!! :oD

Another shooting.

It's a half-hour from where I live and the hospital is visible from my grandparent's house. ARGH!
Why do people do this? Has the world fallen THIS MUCH? Oh, and knowing I'm most likely going to (public) high school this fall scares me. Dekalb isn't more of a gang, shooting town then my very own town.

But--of course. I have to remember. It's all in God's hands.

Oh well. We live in a fallen world. So be it.

By the way, happy V-Day! :oP
