It's amazing what directors think you can do but in reality you really haven't tried yet. For example, in the play, my character screams and faints. I have never had to scream before (like really scream, you know bloody-mary type) and I've never had to faint before. Sil is really testing me here. First, last year, she had me be the biggest flirt in the show (which was the total opposite of my real personality) and now she's having me scream and faint. Oh well. It'll definitely expand my acting abilities. But I think that it's very interesting that Sil's torturing me like this! OK, just kidding, she's not really torturing me, but still...

I have to admit, I'm listening to "Into the Woods" right now, but only because my sister is watching it. Actually, I'd rather listen to "The Nutcracker" but my sister doesn't like it until we absolutely have to listen. She said that I came in at the right moment, because it's the part where the princes come in and sing the "Agony" song for the second time. We have decided that that is the best song in the whole play (for reasons only those who have seen the play or heard the whole sound track would truely understand).

Tonight my family is hosting 3 Russian singers. They will be sleeping in my room (unfortunately). But it'll be cool to have foreign people staying over. They had a concert tonight and needed a place to sleep, so my mom volunteered our house. I didn't go because I had to go to dance, but I know they did awesome. It'll be fun to hear about it.

About Nutcracker, we only need 1 more guy for the pasha...if anyone is interested. (Hint, hint!!)
