I'm Back (& Not Dead)

I'M BACK!

See? I told you I wouldn't forget. I mean, it's only taken me what, 6 months? Okay, so maybe my break was a little longer than I intended. But, I'm here now and that's all that matters!

Since it's been so long since my last post, I should probably catch you all up a bit...lets see...

I'm a officially on the big decision of college. Yikes. It's makes me nervous just typing it. I'm actually looking more & more forward to college next fall though. I've narrowed it down to a few colleges: Tulsa University (I've toured it & I REALLY wanna go there), John Brown University, Hendrix University, & maybe Oklahoma State University.

Of course I've been busy Christmas shopping. So far, I've found ALMOST everything I've been looking for. With Christmas being only 6 days away, I need to get the ball rolling on that one.

I deleted my old Twitter account recently & made a new one. I'm slowly understanding the ins & outs of it. It's really cool too...maybe not Facebook cool, but still pretty cool. So, if you have a Twitter, follow me @21Ravens!

I'm in a play! This is the first time in almost two years that I'm back on stage. In those almost two years, I've done nothing but work backstage. I must say, I am so happy to be back acting in plays. I forgot how much I missed it. The play is a really good one too--it's called Sam & Laura. It's a love story about Sam Clemens (AKA Mark Twain) & a girl named Laura Wright, whom he was madly in love with. It's a really beautiful story, a true one at that. Mark Twain had this girl who basically invaded his thoughts and dreams for the course of his life. Nobody really knew about Laura Wright...it was almost like a secret love interest of Mark Twain's. I play the Young Laura Wright.

Well, of course a lot more has happened, but I think I'll stop here. I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm back!

Sealed with a kiss...

Sorry!

I just want to let you know that I'm sorry about slacking on my blog! I will be posting something very soon. It's just that I've been SO busy trying to learn lines for yet another play I'm going to be in. Haha, story of my life...

Sealed with a kiss...

PS-This is my very first post of 2010!

Pictures from "The Mi$er"

My long, hard, yet very enjoyable journey of “The Mi$er’ has come to an end. It was hard saying goodbye to playing my character, Marianne. She was a lot of fun to play because Marianne is such a total ding-dong. Sort of like Crissy Snow from Three’s Company.


Here are some pictures my director took of us at a dress rehearsal…






Frosine-I’ve seen twenty-five-year olds who look older than you.





Marianne-This is going to be horrible.

Frosine-Why? What is there to worry about?

Marianne-What would you worry about if your neck was directly under the guillotine?








Harpagon-Valere, beat the crap out of him.








Anselme-Children!

Marianne-Father!

Valere-Father!

Anselme-Children!

Valere-Father!

Marianne-Father! Do you have any money?







Harpagon-Don’t be offended, mom petit bon-bon, that I come to meet you with my spectacles on. I know that you earthly charms are radiant enough to dazzle the naked eye, but it is through lenses that we observe the stars, you know, and you yourself are the brightest light of the firmament, nay, a galaxy of delights to the soul and to this delicate, but oh so passionate, frame. (a deadly stillness) Frosine, why isn’t she saying anything?










Cleante-You have my assurances. Marianne, turn those bountiful charms that have so slain my heart on to your mother; she must let you out of your side of the contract. Beg, cajole, bring up childhood memories, sing sad songs, quack like a duck-whatever it takes-just convince her. And then, we are each others to caress ‘til death do us part.

The Mi$er

I (not to mention my fellow cast) have been working very hard on a play. It’s called “The Mi$er”. We have already presented it to the public three times. So far, it's been going extremely well.
