We make them every day, every second. We choose to do and not to do, all the time. Oftentimes, choices are unconsciously made; sometimes too swiftly, sometimes too slowly. Today, I was imagining myself trying to sort out every decision I have to make every day, and how different my life would be if I chose to do this or not do that with every single thing. This, I believe, would be a poor life choice in itself; I would scarce call it living, analyzing everything, looking before every leap. Sometimes life is a leap of faith.
Okay, I think I'm done philosophizing, lol. Now for some updates. The Miracle Worker, which ran last weekend and this weekend, was fantastic. My little sister played a blind girl in it, and I helped backstage with costumes and such. And one night I was the ticket-taker, and I got to dress in black and white and wear one of the playhouse vests, which made me feel very professional. But at intermission, I had to sell raffle tickets, and I felt quite awkward asking people who wanted their mountain dew and snickers bar if they'd like to buy raffle tickets. I ended up selling three, making only $20. Epic fail.
I am currently filling in for an actress in the next play, An Uncivil Union. She's unable to attend all but the last week and a half of rehearsals, so when she gets here, I'll walk her through the blocking and all that good stuff. The funny thing is, she's playing a 50 or 60 year old widow. So I, the youngest one in the rehearsal room, am playing the eldest. Funny. And it's kinda sad that I won't ack-chellay be in the play, but I will get to run the lights for the show! *happy dance*
Aside from drama, my homeschool group's annual end-of-the-school-year presentation is tomorrow night. Each family will sing a song, recite scripture, or do some other sort of performance, and then eat and look at the families' displays of what their school year entailed. Right now, I'm ack-chellay supposed to be typing headings and labels for our display board, but I'd rather be blogging. (That should seriously be a bumper sticker.) I'll be playing the piano and singing with my sisters a song that I wrote, which we need to practice, which means I must close.
Oh, and one more thing; I made some Chinese egg drop soup for supper. It wasn't as good as Little Tokyo's, but it was flavorful, and I enjoyed it.
DBF Out!
I'd rather be blogging. haha :) That should be on the backs of our future DBF shirts :) That's really cool that you get to be a part of your local drama group, that sounds like so much fun. I can't wait until our school play next year, I might even get to be stage manager because the current one isn't doing it next year :) Let's hope!
ReplyDeleteMy mom looked up more information on the career center that I'm doing, and apparently they help you get into a good college for the subject you want to major in. So I'm super excited because we discovered a bunch of close colleges here in Michigan and some not to far away in Chicago. :)
And good luck with your performance with your sisters. That's so cool that you guys are so talented and have confidence to perform.
YES!!! That is absolutely t-shirt material! By the time we ack-chellay get around to making them, we'll have a ton of stuff we'll want to put on them.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome about the career center; did you say you want to major in cinematography?
Thanks for the luck wish; we're also singing at March for Jesus on our town's square this Saturday.
Oh, and I forgot to add, I really hope you'll get to be stage manager; I think you'd be great at it. :)
ReplyDeleteThat' sweet! You're such a performer! :) I'm not exactly sure what I want to major in. Cinematography is a possiblilty. Also I don't know if I want to direct animated or live action films. And I've always loved what special effects supervisors do. And I think it would be fun to be on set, expecially fantasy films.
ReplyDeleteOh yes; to be on set for a fantasy film, especially as an actress, is a big dream of mine. That would be so awesome if someday we could be on set together...
ReplyDeleteI know! That should be on my bucket list. To be involved in a movie with you acting and Megan acting or doing the score or whatever she wants to do ;)
