24 hours of theater.

OK... So...... this is gonna be a short blog. Because I REFUSE to go into too much detail about this. If you want to know the full details just text me, haha depending on who you are I may not tell you.

Well my friend James and I signed up for this 24 hour theater thing. Basically what that is is a group of actors/writers/directors sign up, and then meet on a Friday, and then they're put into groups (7 in this case). One writer, one director and the number of actors varied... It was mostly just under 10 people. Then the actors/directors/writers go home! The writers stay up all night and at 6 am turn in a short scene they typed up. Roughly 10 minutes long! Then actors and directors show up, read the script and get to work! The shows are put on that night! So me and James were (completely randomly) put into a group together! The rehearsals happened, and the show went great! Like I said I'm not gonna go into detail unless you ask me over text or phone call or in person or whatever.
.....I'll just say that I'm exceptionally happy that it's over and that I never have to do that particular scene again!

College is going great and homework is not too bad!!
Peace and Love!

The Weekend of Labor.

Yeah the title? Not what it sounds like! SOOOOO. This LABOR DAY weekend I came home to good old ClEaNyStOoRnED Utah!!! (edited because I realize that there are stalkers in the world... cough cough SHELBY cough cough.....) It was quite a fun weekend! I is not gonna lie!!

FRIIIIIIIDAY.
So. The Friday of Labor day was spent in a car. Well most of it. My ROOMmate Shelbi's brother Brady (who attends SUU) owns a car! So they both were gonna head to their humble abode and Shelbi asked if I wanted a ride back North! So of course I said yes! So the day comes and as we're putting stuff in the car, Shelbi's brother is talking on the phone about "we'll be there in a minute... call us when you know you can come... and so on." So I asked Shelbi about this and found out (to my GREAT surprise) that we would be having one of Brady's old mission companions in the car with us. So. We picked up the mission companion... Yeah that was interesting. Within 5 minutes he had hit on both me and Shelbi. Freaking Ridiculous. Plus I was reading Richard III. When I want to read, I READ. I don't be social. I plug in my Ipod and I read. Rude of me I know but he was bugging ok!! But even with the clear signs I was giving him, he kept grabbing my leg and going IS THE BOOK GOOD?!?! or. YOU'RE FUNNY. I LIKE YOU. or. (this was my favorite) WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR EYES???? YEP. interesting. But entertaining. So I arrived home safely!! But even when I was gone the relentless youth said "SHE WAS REAL CUTE." yikes. Anyways, when I got home and walked in the doors I honestly teared up. I miss my home smell. Sounds weird but it's true. At the close of that Friday my family took me to a lovely dinner at Pizzeria (in Ogden) which is LITERALLY the best pizza in Utah. IT'S BETTER THAN THE PIE. But over all, Friday was FFFFFantastic!

SATUR(D)DAY!!!
Saturday... Saturday was an errand day mostly! It was spent with my parents going around town getting my pupils measure (for my future new glasses that I'm stoked for.) and grocery shopping (I didn't need much.. yikes.). But the end of it was spent with an exceptionally great friend of mine. Ms. Niki Waite. Niki is a year older than me and is a Musical Theater Major at Weber State University (I hope her stalkers read this.) Basically it was spent talking. Just talking. But she did buy me a Red Mango (LAAAATE Birthday present.) Basically I asked her about some advice about my future. (Whether or not I should go into acting) She gave me some great advice which I won't go into. But yes. She's one of my dear best friends and I'd be screwed in life without her. JUST SAYING.


SUNDAY.
OOOK. so. For a quick background check, and for those of you that don't know, I'M LDS. (latter day saint) and I'm LOVING it. I also have an incredible Bishop. He helped me through some great trials in my life. This past Sunday was full of testimonies and tears. The Bishopric is being released! After serving us all for 5 years it's over.. Weird to think about right? But yeah everyone was crying and it was depressing. AFTER CHURCH. Well. One of my other best friends (who I literally consider my sister, not just cause of her but I'm pretty close with her family.. I hope I can say that. I think I am? If I'm not this is awkward!) who goes to BYU invited me to her humble abode to hang out for a little! (oh it's McCall Simmons... just so ya know?) So I was going to hang out for about an hour roughly and ended up being there for three hours. Haha! ACCIDENTAL. We hung out with McCall's neighbor Katie. Who is FANTASTIC. She had so many videos that she made while on some..... stuff! (LEGAL STUFF.) Before the first video had been going for 10 seconds we were all gut laughing. GREAT STUFF. And by the end of the night we were good friends! Plus Katie has... a grrrreat family! No joke.. Some of her specific family members are..... sweet! After we left Katie's house we went to McCall's to play a game.. That I can't remember the name of. Basically it's a fantastically addicting card game that I suck at (for the moment.). It was an incredible night full of laughs and love. McCall's family is incredible and will be there for me if I ever need them. THEY'RE GREAT.



THE FINAL DAY. (...Monday...)
Ok! So Monday was a day FULL of emotions. But it was a wonderful day. And I'm not just saying that. Monday morning me and McCall met up with a dear friend of ours who was our old Theater teacher! Mrs. Andra Thorne! She never signed my yearbook. And that HAD to be fixed. So the plan was to meet at Yogotogo at 9:00 (cause that's what time the internet said it opened!) So I was the first one to get there and looky at that IT WAS CLOSED. Didn't open until 11:00. So because my phone was dead (forgot my charger at Cedar) I couldn't call Mccall or Andra and tell them! So I figured I'd just wait. Well while waiting the man who owns Yogotogo (and who's daughter was in Musical Productions with me and McCall) came and went in the lovely shop and took out these three chairs that sit outside when it's opened! So I was like.. "Is it opening early cause of Labor Day?" POSSIBLY. So McCall came and we discussed that we should go in! We went to open the door... and it was locked. Disappointing. BUT. Then the owner comes up and is like "What are you two doing here??" So we told him that we were meeting Andra here and that we thought it opened earlier! Well this guy.. is an extremely nice man. So he let me and McCall come inside to just hang out and wait for Andra. So we did! Then Andra came and we all got caught up on life and stuff! Then the owner was like "I got everything set up! You guys can get some Yogo if you want!" So McCall and I went, filled out cups, and went to pay. You know what he said? "It's on me!! College student discount." YEAH. FREE YOGOTOGO!!! Best day ever and it was only 10:00 in the morning!! So while eating Yogo I talked to Andra about my future. I want to go into acting. But I don't. I have NO clue what to do!! So Andra asked me a couple of questions "Will you regret it?" duh. "Will you always wonder what would've happened?" yep. THEN DO IT. So through her advice, and the advice of Niki, and the advice of my sister-in-law Casey... I've decided I'm going to major in Acting. BAM! ROASTED. I'm taking a Intro to Public Relations class next semester so if I like that (people have told me I'd be good at that) then I'll double major!! I'm glad that I'm done with worrying... Yay! Anyways. So yeah not only did I get a free yogo. PLUS direction of my future. BUT. The owner pops out and is like help yourselves to another one!! YEAH. TWO FREE YOGOS IN ONE MORNING!! Great morning. But Andra's need to be a mother caused that she had to go home, plus my family wanted to go to lunch! So we said our goodbyes and left. GREAT MORNING. So before lunch I got my paycheck from good old Cherry HELL, and saw some old friends of mine! Great people. Then we went to Mandrin Palace. Which is magical cause you get a ton of food for 5$. AWESOME. Then when we were done I waited a few hours and got a ride back with Shelbi, and her brother! The RM was not there! (heh heh thank GOODNESS.) We arrived home around 10:00. It was a great weekend and I'm so lucky I got to go home and see my family. Well... that's the end of my weekend. Peace out!!

PS. I asked my (current) theater teacher if the man who played Richard in Richard III was gay... you know what she said?? HE'S NOT. AND. HE'S SINGLE. So I can day dream without feeling completely wrong. James wasn't nearly as excited about it as me... I wonder why???
