Hello Again

Hey, I'm back again. As promised. :) This post is also a test because my last post is only showing up on Firefox and not Internet Explorer. But I can also talk some more, cause that's what I do best. I'm going to try to post once a day but I'll probably end up forgetting and only post once a week, but it's my goal. Along with my other goals; finish a story I'm currently writing with my friend (It's for a school project, but once we turn it in, we're going to continue writing more and tweaking it. :D We're really detail obsessed.) and to try my hardest to do my best at the rest of the greens' rehearsals and shows. *gasps* we only have four rehearsals left! Don't get me wrong, like I said in my last post, I can't wait to perform for an audience, but I never want to leave this cast! And trust me, time flies during performances! When I was in the Music Man (also noted in the last post) we had performances for almost two months, every weekend, and it went by in a blur.
As my friend, Jessica, talked about in her blog, arms do seem to get in the way when your not talking or holding something on stage. They seem to flap around uselessly and not help what so ever. I usually talk with my hands, but on stage it just seems wrong. And I personally like Will's idea to just chop them off before we go on stage, then we won't have to worry about them on stage! But I honestly never noticed anyone seeming awkward or unnatural with their arms, even after they ratted them selves out. Everyone seems very natural on stage, like they live there and they aren't Jim, Jessica, Will, Kate, Olivia, Jenna, or Andrew anymore, they have now transformed into Briant, Aleena, Noel, Merrow, Morgan, Ginessa and Keegan. And thats just listing seven, everyone in this cast does, even the younger kids. (And yes, I do realize I too am still a kid.) It's an amazing thing to see this transformation, everyone talking to one another and having fun but when places are called, it's like stepping into a different world filled with these majestic characters that each person put a little of them, a little of their own soul into the character to help it come to life. Kinda like magic, Pinella with her magic staff might have some effect on that. Nah, I'm just kidding, everyone does this transformation on their own, in their own way. I feel like the luckiest person in the world when I walk through those doors at Lakeshore and I see everyone turn and welcome me into the theater, no one is angry when I mess up, they patiently wait for me to fix my own mistakes, but will help out if I really need it. I truly do feel like the luckiest person in the world to have been accepted and welcomed into this amazing cast.
Love,
Sylena :D
