DECEMBER

Dear Devoted Blog Readers. . . yeah I know, there's like one and a half of you.

Hi, I suppose I should start posting on here sometimes. I apologize for not posting more often, but I wasn't aware that you guys actually read this. Hmn. Good to know.

So where should I start. The beginning is as good a place as any:

I was born on February 12th in the year of 1991. . . Okay fast forward to this month at least. December.
Its a big month for me because, thats right, you guessed it, HACK AND SLASH CHRISTMAS SPECIAL. Its my taste of faire during the off season and believe me I didn't realize how much I was missing it. We went to the Saturday Matinee show this year, which I wasn't happy about, because no one I knew from faire was really there. However, T-Shirt Boy was there, and let's be honest that's half the reason I was so excited to go. (Yes, please mock me all you want. But he's fantastic.) It was a great show though. I was really impressed with Christmas Future this year. He wasn't a faire performer, (maybe that's why he was so good.) but I have to say I was really impressed. The London Broil were also wonderful as the Cratchets (SP?) those guys make me giggle.
This year Jason and I got Hack and Slash holiday survival kits. . . we thought they were cute. OH! And we finally sprung for VIP this year. It was pretty sweet to not have to wear my glasses to see the show. Even when I sat further back with Erik during the second act, I was fine without them. Yeah, so that was great fun.
On the way home we had some fantastic pizza. It was sausage and ham and bacon and messy, but quite delicious. It was ultimately a great day.

What else?
Oohh I finally finished writing my one act. Its awful. Let's be honest. It is in no way a well written show, but my cast is awesome and the one rehearsal I've had so far was a blast, so things in that department are looking up. However, I did find out that I don't technically need to direct this show for IB credit. I feel like I"m doing it for nothing, but all is not lost. I know that its a great experience and I'm having a blast playing Director for a little while. Nick even mentioned that my directing style is very like Ms. Passey, and I took it as a compliment. :)

Speaking of Passey, (these segweys are getting quite good) she's back in the states visiting and I saw her Tuesday. Hooray! It was great to see her and talk all about her German adventures. We miss her a lot here, but I think we've all finally adjusted to McCormick. Class has been frustrating lately, because I haven't learned anything of a performance nature this year. He wants it to be independent study, but its pretty much been all about one acts or Fiddler. Hopefully we'll pick things up.


SO TODAY IS CHRISTMAS! Definitely forgot about that until just now.
My amazon wishlist was WIPED OUT this morning. I got more books then I know what to do with. I'm a little sad that I don't have more time to read them all, but I'm very happy with all of my gifts. They're great. Among the more surprising ones were a surger!!!! (Mrs. Shelton will probably appreciate that the most), the entire Angel series on DVD (my Joss Whedon collection is getting quite impressive), an external hard drive, and like a thousand books (no really, every other gift I opened today was a book. I'm not complaining.). Jason got me Dr. Horrible's Sing A Long Blog on DVD, and I was quite stoked. We've already watched it once today and I can't wait to see the special features.
The food today was pretty excellent and I officially feel like I'm going to explode. I also managed to epically fail a game of phase ten, but my fierce score from last night's scrabble game makes it all alright.

o0o! Also, I'm working on a bucket list. 100 things I want to do before I die. It isn't something that I would normally do, however, Erik asked me to do it so that he knows what my goals in life are, so that he can help me achieve them. Did I not say that he was great? I'm only on like. . . eighty something though, so if you've got any suggestions PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE feel free to suggest away!

Anywho, I'm exhausted. Today has flown by!

So Merry Christmas and blah blah blah. I'm going to watch a movie or read a book or something equally relaxing.

I'll try to keep up with this thing a bit more.
