I used to want to be a musical theatre STAR

I just discovered my old Xanga, which was the same thing as a live journal, I think. It features an Al Hirshfield cartoon of Sunday in the Park with George. Which it would.

I have a few entries I would like to share:

May 24, 2004: "Most em-BARE-ASS-ing thing ever: (I love those puns). So, for those of you who don't know, I play a stripper in one of the songs for our musical theatre show. So the night before the show, Susan decides that my skirt isn't "strippery" enough, so she cuts it a lot shorter with shreddy things. Since it was the night before the show, I didn't get a chance to run the number with the new subtraction of the skirt. So, when I bend over to play the trumpet between my legs, apparently the entire audience (except for my mom who was in the back row) got a nice glimpse of my ass. I mean, I had a leotard on, but there is a large possibility that it was riding up a bit since it doens't really fit me. I didn't find this out until AFTER the show. It's so embarassing. So, Susan said she's going to fix the skirt and I'm going to wear my own leotard for the next show. I apoligize for any of you who unfortunately saw that."

May 11, 2004: "My mom though "Send in the Clowns" was from Cats. I think I'm going to cry."

April 12, 2004: Well, this weekend was great. My cousin and I drove down to U of I (not the most exciting drive, but whatever). I had a meeting with the director of the undergraduate theatre department. He was really nice and I love the program. I really want to go there. Their theatre building is amazing and there are so many oppertunities for student directed work. Except only 6 people get accepted into the Theatre Studies program each year out of like 30. So I'll cross my fingers. Friday night I went out to dinner with Brian and Greg and then went Indian dancing with Greg and his quite out-there friends. It was so much fun! I'm still sore from it. We did Indian dances straight from like 8-12:30 and we could barely walk afterwards. One Saturday I went to a tennis match with my cousin. Then we went to lunch and I ran into Alex Davis, Hilary Holland and a bunch of people so I ate with them and then did some AP Biology homework. Then I went to a chocolate cafe place with them which was really good but then we went to Gavin's discusting frat house. Then I went and saw a student directed production of "Last 5 Years" with Brian, which was actually pretty good. Then we went to Brian's dorm and watched "Office Space" with one of his friends. Then Sunday we went home. I really liked the school. The only thing I didn't like was that there are so many bars and there is so much emphesis on drinking. But at such a big school I don't think it would be too hard to find people who aren't really into that. I'm going to bed.

March 29, 2004: Mmmmmm....Spring Break.

Wow, things have changed...
