Lucky.

I made it. I play the supporting male, Lucky. Now to describe the arduous path it took to get here.

I woke up at 2 on account of an anxiety attack. I felt out of control of my body, and that my blanket was trapping me, but part of my body as well. I couldn't sleep again till 4, and then I woke up at 7. I showered, hung around, then picked up Kayla and went to Auditions.

We sat around for an hour or so while we waited for people to find sheet music[Tory, bless her, brought all the sheet music for Dames at Sea], then began the tap learning. There weren't that many people, Godspell had so much more. It was alot of fun, I actually helped other people! Which sounds concieted, but I guess I learned quickly from Michelle earlier, plus band, and the fact that I knew the song by heart that we were dancing to helped alot. Then we sang, and I thought I did bad, I thought I was off-pitch. People told me I was great, but the same thing happened at Godspell, when I didn't even make call backs. Luckily, my number one fan Kayla was there, who recorded it on her camera. I watched it, and hey! I was good. I tapped for one final time as the final audition, then Kayla, Michelle, and I went to go see RV. It was okay.

Senior directs were okay. I did great as Hale, and our entire cast did good. Assassins was odd, but good, and Hamlet-15 was slightly immature and kind of unprofessional, but it was great and funny. We did Denny's afterwards.

I don't have to work tomorrow, because I've got a show. Honk starts at 12, Crucible at 1, Assassins at 2, and Hamlet at 3. It's only five bucks for all four shows, so come one, come all.

No Diving.

They added a new Entry Editor. It looks nice. [Which doesn't work, hah.]

This year went by so fast. It was just yesterday when I took my lifeguarding class, I left the bandhall for the last time, or I woke up with the sun shining through my curtains. I'm going to be a senior soon.

I can remember my first day of school. Mom herded Daniel and me into the line for our class outside, and our teacher Mrs. Brown led us in. I hid behind my brother as we went in. I remember learning the Alphabet, playing Math Blaster, learning multiplaction tables. I remember that everyone was amazed that I could read faster then our assistant teacher. I've always been able to read fast. I was the first person in that first grade class to get glasses.

Intermediate School: Fifth grade. Still with Daniel. I met my first real best friend, Kevin Florenzano. We felt like we had known eachother forever. I had my first crush, although I wasn't aware of it at the time. This kid that everyone liked, Tony.

Sixth grade in the McPherson Middle School, in Kansas. Oh god. Daniel and I had the same classes for a few months, and then in seventh grade was the first time I had never had a class with him. Small town, no friends. We got Everquest and I stayed up all night one night playing my High Elven Enchanter. I got a girlfriend in seventh grade. I played on the Tennis team. I went to my first dance. I was first chair alto sax, even though there were only three or four of us.

Texas. Eighth grade. Loneliness. I read. Alot. I played Bari. I developed my own special brand of magic. I started investigating Witchcraft for three years, until I became it. I put myself at ease that I was gay, but tried to be bi in ninth grade for my mom. Highschool. I was having dreams for up to a year before I actually went. I had uncountable deja vu's in ninth grade. I went to San Antonio three times, and Washington D.C. once. That summer I went to Germany with just Daniel, and our grandparents took us to Italy. Tenth grade started, and I became a big band nerd. But that january I tried out for my first play. And I loved it.

As Summer draws near I can't help but think about this past school year. Alot of things happened. Theatre happened to me. I got a good job. I ran from a hurricane, and stayed on Elm Street. I made out for the first time. I'm at peace with a higher power. I got my licence. I struggled in school. I went to the Caymans.

This year needs to end though. It needs to be put to rest. I need some rest from the drama. From the stress. From the school work. From the mistakes. I'm gonna take a bath tonight, since I didn't last night. Goodnight all.
