okay so last week (mon, tues, wednes, thurs) i did CI at various places. and it was awesome but i'm going to skip it cause this is way more exciting.

okay so sarah comes into my room at around 7 on friday morning and tells me the marguex from the advance team (people that go to the city weeks before to set it up - host families, sponcers etc) just called her and asked her to come to a tv interview that they were doing cause some of the girls that were going called in sick. and she had to be there at 7:45. agh!! so we got ready really fast and then drove to the school. i went along cause i figured i'd just get dropped off at the univeristy - where i was supposed to be at 8:15. but as we dropped sara off i thought i'd ask if anyone there was going to the univeristy to save my host mom from driving me. so i got out and asked and they said 'ummm no you're coming with us. you're singing one to one."

aghaghaghaghaghaghagh!!!

so brenna (staff who sang one to one the past two years) was supposed to sing it but she was one of the ones who called in sick. so i ran up to th bathroom and changed into my show costume (which i had cause we were doing a show that night - thank God) and threw on some makeup while we were driving to the station. they set me up with one of those little clip-to-your-shirt-mics and then we were off. luis (advance team) and martin (cast manager) did a little interview and then myself along with sara, tina, vania, faith, dave, justen, kei, jalee, callie, libby, and maria (hope i got everyone!) sang one to one.

now it was this tiny little tv station so although it was really really exciting - it really wasn't big of a deal. like still super cool but its probably the compass of phuket. or breakfast television. something like that.

but then yesterday they told us that it made national news.

oh my friggin goodness.

hahahaha sooo cool. thats all i can say. i love it. haha its online too. www.thaisnews.com. you may have to google the site instead of typing it in cause its in thai or something but yeah. the quality isn't great and i've sang it better but still really really cool. hahahhaa love it!

and then we did three shows. we were told that thai audiences didn't show a lot of emotion - like the didn't cheer a lot or anything. but they were wrong about this audience!!! hahaha most of the audience was made up of 11-15year old girls. and they are a little but in love with our boys. especially brodie. hahaha its SOOOOOO funny. like they scream for them! hahhah i love it. and after the shows they go backstage and get autographs and take pictures with them! hahaha cute! and the guys LOVE it. brodie and jeff really play it up. oh what rockstars they are . . . . hahah

ok but here's the really really awesome thing. like the coolest thing thats happened here. all the procedes from the show went towards building a seven story building for the satree phuket school, which was the sschool we were at everyday. and because on satruday we had a VIP show - which sooo many important people like the thai minister of education and alll kinds of media we raised a lot of money. like A LOT! are you ready for this?!?!?!

over 10,000,000 baht. ten million

thats about $320,000 canadian dollars!

wow oh wow oh wow.

we kinda flipped out when theytold us that one.

so awesome. i love it. it makes me so happy.

today's a free day and i don't know what we're going to do. and then tomorrow we're flying to bangkok and then another 12 hour bus ride to get to nam phong. where i doubt there will be any internet cause its a tiny little village i think. so the next time you hear from me i may be in finland. yeah. hopefully i have some awesome stories from nam phong for you. apparently we'll be sleeping on mats and have lots of bugs around us. YES! and the town is also known as 'the cobra village'. oh my!!!! hahaha maybe i'll learn to charm snakes.

anyways . . . i think some of you are starting school soonish! so good luck! have fun! especially justin whos starting grade 12, karyn whos starting high school, daniel whos starting grade 7 and public school for the first time, steve whos starting upei, and joshua in grade one?!?! perhaps?! anyways love you all!!! soooo much!!!! miss you!

lveo kady

yeah not love - lveo. wow good thing i can type . . . .

okay. so i need some comments. am i making this blog personal?! like are you getting what i'm feeling? or is it just what i'm doing everyday? i'm thinking maybe i need to be focusing on what i'm feeling/seeing/loving/hating etc. so what do you guys think?! that and just say hello cause i miss you all like crazy!

ok so going to try a different style. maybe. if i can. we'll see.

thailand in a couple words is (and i know i totally stole this from libby ((cast c's libby, not libby back home)) but i think its okay cause we probably have different people reading our blogs. and the words will differ to some extent)

- gosh darned hot. i've never sweated so much in my life. like i've never literally had sweat dripping down my face. hahah now i bet you all have a real pretty picture of me in your head!!!
- for those that went to dominican with me, like there but throw in some crazy buhddist (can i spell?!) temples. like the same streets with shops along the road and street vendors and people just everywhere and dogs just everywhere.
- different food! like its gotten to the point where we ask each other 'what is this?' as we put it in our mouths. like i have no idea what a lot of my meals are! some of the girls had jellyfish the other day! agh! and i tried octopus. like a little tentacle. it was rubbery.
- language. their language is SOOOOO cool. i love it. i wish i could understand. cause its completely different then ours. like the characters are so cool. and it blows my mind that people can read them. and that around the world we've all come up with a set of characters that allowed us to communicate. wow. awesome.
- just incredible. if anyone would of told me a year ago that i'd be in thailand, living with a thai family, eating crazy food, working in thai schools and performing a huge show for them with people from around the world i would have told them to shut their face. but alas here i am. awesomeaweome

ok so the highlights. cause i really don't want to catch you up of the 5/6ish days that i'm behind by.

- sunday: incredible day! we went to the sea gyspy village and talked to people there. not one person in the village died from the tsunami! unbelievable! and then we saw monkeys!!!!! have a video and will put in on facebook when i can. they take sooo long to load though! and then we took a fishing boat out to coral island. oh an awesome moment was on the dock before we got on the boat and it was concreate and had a lot of water on it and we all ran though it jumping and splashing each other till our pants were soaked through. loved it! anyways this boat ride was incredible. i just sat on the side of the boat - in awe of what i was experiencing. i was in thailand, taking a boat out to an island, surrounded by amazing friends from around the world, and all i could see was 'sea teal' (dave and i attempted to crayola name the color of the ocean, that was mine) ocean spreading out in front of me with jungle islands plopped into it. like 'lord of the flies' worthy islands. i'm suprised i didn't see piggy himself running across the beach with the conch. anyways we get to coral island and we literally run into the water. soooooo awesome. and then we went and rented snorkels, goggles and flippers. UNREAL! like there waas tropical fish. coral (hence the name of the island?! perhaps?!) and then like yellow, and blue, and white, and just amazing fish everywhere. swimming right beside us. it was incredible. and then later in the day dave told me that a couple people were walking through the jungle for a bit to get to another beach. so dave, brodie, aimee, johnny and i set off through the jungle. barefoot. in a foreign country. don't freak out mom! it was soo cool. extreme jungle on one side - extreme ocean on the other. mind blowing. like AGH OH MY GOD LIFE IS SOOOOOO AWESOME! but then we get to this point where brodie looks up and makes this ahhh/agh/scream thing. and we look up to see spider as big as my hand dangling over our heads on the path. and this is not even a lie. AS BIG AS MY HAND! true story. ugh. soo gross. but despite this dave, brodie and i decided to venture on. agh! hahaha we swat/ran under the spider - only to look up and see two more placed in the path to go. agh! this was basically what was going through my mind. AGH! haha and laughing at dave and brodie. cause they were kinda freaking out. more then i was. hahaha. but you have to understand. they were right above our heads. in a position where they could easily jump on us. and we had no idea what they could do to us. like maybe they were ninja spiders and could kill us with a single brush of their leg. anyways. this is becomming really long. i guess it just proves how stellar it was (i use awesome too much. does stellar work?!). anyways i loved the whole trek. being barefoot - feeling the dirt and rocks. seeing giant spiders. and a lizard. and a couple millipedes. and we did get to the beach and it was gorgeous and deserted. so we swam. and had a handstand contest. and it was awesome. stellar? and then we went back. again - more spiders. and me loving them cause it makes for such an awesome story. and then we went to this huge dinner thing (we had 15mins to clean all the sand off and get into dresses and look pretty. hahaha the girls room was a zooo!) where i ate sooo much. and couldn't tell you what a lot of it was. but it was GOOOOOD!!!! and then we went to fantasea - and big performance which has like 10 elephants in it. they were cute. and when it was over we boarded this 'bus'. the back of a covered truck with benches. i loved it. and we all kinda slept on each other. i had dave, alex, and shannon and leaning on me.

and ok. that took forever with a capital f. Forever. so will not be writing of the other incredible things right now. but remind me to write about
- the family tree
- fufu
- and thats all i can think of right now
- ci's

okay but just something really cool - tuesday and today i've been a little down. tired and kinda feeling blah. which is a sign of homesickness. so anyways. here i am writing this crazy long blog and during this time i got a facebook message from mom, justin, and daniel. AND talked to neal, maria, libby, and ryan on msn. i'm on like home overload. and i'm just really happy. and i'm going to go play my guitar and then go to sleep and have an awesome SHOW DAY TOMORROW! yes!!!!

ok i love you all sooooo much. i hope you know. even you out there that maybe clicked on the link to my blog from the cast's website (www.castc2007.com). cause you basically just read a novel. ok i really need to wrap this up.

so lovelovelovelovelove!!!!!

okay so we arrived at the school in phuket, thailand. the kids greeted us as we got off the bus with these really pretty lais! sooo cute. and then we had a little meeting and then we met our host families and had a big dinner all together. the food was unreal!!!! i'm taking pictures of a lot of these meals cause they are sooo cool. i'll put them on facebook soonish.

so then sara castro (new roomie) and i went to our new home. check out these names. our parents are mix and sit. then we have siblings boat (boy - 16), nut (girl - 14ish) and fufu (boy - 12). are they not the best names?!?! haha i love it! so we get to their house and there are buildings near by but i think nothing of it. i thought i'd be roughing it but they brought me and sara in the house and gave us our own rooms. with king sized beds. and air conditioning. in the living room they have a flat screen with surround sound and a hardcore massage chair/lazeboy thing. soo nuts. and they have a real shower and toilet!!!! hahaha okay but then!!! they showed us the rest of the house. which is the surrounding buildings. there's like four all together. the bedroom one. and library/study/laundry one. and kitchen/eating/office one. and then the grandfathers little house. CRAZY!!!! haha. they are soooo nice. boat just came back from a ten month exchange in the states so hes pretty darned good at english. but i have to go now cause the laptop in dying and its rafas and i don't knw where his power cord is. agh!!!!! finish later!

about 56 hours later . . . thats right . . . .42 hours of bus and plane . . .

AND I AM IN THAILAND!

thats right. oh my God. so jalee and i were in charge of wake up in the morning. so the alarm went off at ten to four, and i reluctantly rolled off the air matteress. i washed my hair in the bathroom sink and then met up with jalee and we turned on the lights and woke everyone up. we got about 3-4ish hours of sleep. but everyone was really awesome about it. we packed everything up at got in the bus early!!! we were supposed to leave no later then 6 and we were allo in the bus ready to go at 5:35ish. yes us!!!!

so we had a 3ish hour drive to la . . . pretty standard bus ride. i feel like the bus is my home. its rediculous. anyways ummm i don't even know who i sat with . . . . oh wait. i think it was scott. yeah it was. and he loves regina spektor too so he's just awesome. so we got to lax and had like 2.5 hours to kill cause we didn't fly out till 12:30. exchanged some money. hung out with andrew for a good little bit. called home and talked to mom, joshua, rachel, and nick. and then we were off!
it was like a 10 hour flight. soooo long. they played 3 movies!!! hahaha crazy. i was sitting next to scott, jalee, and sarah. after a while i ditched though and traded with rafa and took his spot next to tina and dave. we had some intense conversations! it was awesome. i don't know . . . i bet a lot more happened but its all kind of fuzzy.

and then we were in tokyo. JAPAN!!! soo cool. we had like an hour layover or something - so dave and i headed off for sushi. cause really you can't go to japan and not have sushi. so after a quick chopstick lesson we were all set. i had sweet shrimp, and i tried some of daves tuna. it was good, but really spicy. not a mexican spicy, something completely different. waisabi?! i think thats what its called. anyways it was an awesome time. one of my first hardcore cultural experiences.
and then the flight from tokyo to bangkok. I PASSED OUT!!!! hahaha like i sat down and then BAM! out light a ton of bricks. i missed the takeoff - slept right though it. hahahaha i was GONE!!! this was only a 5 hour flight. not too bad. i definitley slept most of the time. i think i was the most tired i've ever been. like physically couldn't do anything. there was an empty seat beside me and the guy next to it let me curl up on the two. it was awesome. and thats about it for that one.
and then we were in bangkok. THAILAND!!!! yes!!!!!!! did the whole airport/customs/baggage stuff. then we were split by our hometeams (have i mentioned them?! basically just a small group of us that we have that we get together and talk about stuff. i'm hometeam 6. me, andrew, aubrii, shannon, guido, emmie, johnny, and then jeremy and rafa from staff) and got onto one of two buses. this was at about 12 local time. the bus ride was another 12 hours. agh!!! hahah andrew and i were bus dates (you get one everytime you get on the bus! haha its fun. you can pick them, or just put your name on a sheet and get a suprise when someone sits beside you!) and we basically passed out as soon as we sat down.

we made a couple pit stops . . . i think we shocked some girls working at a 24 hour comveience store. hahaha 60some foreigners coming in at 3 in the morning . . . . buying all kinds of food that we just guessed would taste good. i had some lays chips. seaweed flavoured. haha they were reallllly good though! anyways the bus was long and theres a lot i'm sure i could write but it was basically just us sleeping and being fools. i have some video of it that i'll try and get on facebook.
anyways i'm at my host family's house now but honestly i'm tired of typing so i'll do the rest of it tonight.

okay so we arrived in carlsdad or carlsbad, california at their high school. we thought that we were just unloading there until our host families came to get us but then chris (education coordinator/assistant cast manager) told us interns that actually . . . . . . we were staying at the high school over night. and that the next night we'd be sleeping in a church!!! soooo pumped. hahaha. so we went in and told the cast and everyone was really excited - host families are awesome but we don't really get to just hang out with each other very much. just bus rides. all the other times we're in talks or dancing or singing or banding. so we all got situated and played some volleyball. soo fun. and we got sleeping bags and towels and a couple pillows lended to us for these two days. i didn't get a pillow but oh well. a bunch of us decided to sleep outside - so we took all our stuff out and laid it out up on the top row of some bleachers at the football field. and and earlier johnny taught shannon and i some belly dancing. he's a professional. no lie. ok so . . . umm then andrew, justen, scott and i walked around the track thingy and just talked and stuff - then sat down on some bleachers and continued to talk. then jordan joined us. and then i got cold so i went to the other side of the feild to sleep. they all followed. there was a lot of us out there. abby, emerald, callie, johan, johnathan, illiana, justen, scott, olga, lena, and i. maybe more but i think thats it. anyways so justen and i shared a mat, but during the night i got pushed off so i ended up lying on the concrete - only a sleepbag between it and me. i wasn't too bad though. i would of thought it'd be a lot worse.

so after not a lot of sleep we got up. ate some breakfast. did some pilates. had some thai prep. ate lunch. and then we headed out to do some promotion for the show cast b will be doing here in a week or two. it was pretty cool. and then . . . . drumroll . . . . we went TO THE BEACH!!!! first time in the pacific! it was sooo awesome. we got there and changed and then RAN into the water. the waves were awesome and pretty huge. good time!!! and then we had a staff circle, which the interns are also a part of, and went over tomorrow cause . . . .

WE'RE LEAVING FOR THAILAND!!!!

OH MY GOD!!

wow. so yeah and then we ate and then it was dark so we had a bonfire and brodie and i brought out the guitars and we started singing 'up' songs from the show. haha got a little crowd for awhile. and it was just awesome. wow. like home but not but still awesome. i mean good friends, beach, food, bonfire, guitars?! thats why i love summer. so i'm just pumped that we got to do it.

and now we're at a united methodist church camping out on a floor. but this time they lended some air matteresses too. YES!!!! so it's 11 and we're still waiting for the breakfast stuff so that we can pack breakfast for tomorrow morning cause we're waking up at 4. agh. and being an intern it us thats getting up forst and waking up everyone else. ahaha pumpep. jalee and i are going to sing realllllly loud. and then we're going to leave at 6 - and our flight leaves LAX at 12:30. this occurs on a wednesday. we don't get in till 3:30ish thursday. ridiculous. i can't wait!!! haha but we are going to STINK!!!!! the bus from bangkok to phuket alone it like 12 hours. AGHAGHAGH!!!!

BUT I'M GOING TO BE IN THAILAND!!!!!

this is a osm.

we had a talk on this. living for the osm. the oh shit moments.

a good osm.

wow. i'm going to leave on that note. when i write again i may be in thailand. unless i write something about the whole crazy travel experience. anyways. night loves.

ok so on tuesday night we did our show in gallup, new mexico. it definitley wasn't our best show. i'm not going to make excuses for it - there really wasn't any good ones. but oh well. we learned from it. ohhh kinda funny story from it though. so it was time for we'll be there - one of the solo i usually sing. so before the song a really nice video plays that uses the same music. so my cue to come out on stage is for the video music to stop for like 3 seconds and then it starts again - this time for the song. but on this night the track started right after the video. so i didn't know to walk out. and it was the lights cue too so the lights didn't come on. i thought that they were still playing the video music and i was all confused. but i decided to walk out onto the dark stage - mic in hand - just kind of standing there kinda freaking out on what to do. and then they turned the lights on. so there i was standing on the stage, with my mic, with no clue what was going on or what i should do. after probably only five seconds (but God was it a long five seconds), the wonderful brodie kinder saved my ass and came out and started singing. hahah we were right in the middle of the chorus, but we sang anyways and then we just kept going from there. i don't know if anyone in the audience knew that we messed up though cause i think we (well, brodie) pulled it off. haha it wasn;t until after that i figered out what had happened. and everyone thought that i had forgotten my lines or something . . . but oh well. man i was soooo frustrated afterwards!!!!!!! but i learned from it. and i'm definitley going to make sure it never happens again!!!!

anyways the next day we left for tucson. another long bus ride. we got there, at the univeristy of arizona (which - ps - has an amazingly beautiful campus) and there was our lovely cast b friends to welcome us. we had some free time so we went for a walk and jalee, libby and i went into american apparell and tried on spandex leggings and body suits. we looked hot. and then we went to jamba juice and did a wheat grass shot, which tasted exactally like the smell of fresh cut grass. but apparently its really good for you. anyways then we met our new host families. aofie (pronounced effia) from ireland and i stayed with a lady named judi. she lived on her own and was too cute. tucson is awesome . . . there was cacti everywhere. sooo cool. but actually not cool. on sunday it was 106! yipes! so i did vocal internship stuff on . . thursday. and spray painted some buckets with dave, kristen (vocal staff person), michael bowerman (head music guy) and eric (someone also important). haha it was kinda cool. and then . . . . . i don't remember. oh we went to the westin hotel where the alumni reunion was occuring.with about 1500 uppies (up with people'ers). sooo nuts! awesome though!!! so then the next day - friday - we had our show. this was nuts. the auditorium held 2600ish people, and all 1500 alumni went.it was sooooo awesome. we sold out. OH MY GOD!!!! i didn't have any solos in this show - as we combined the two casts AND thy wanted it to be an unreal show so a lot of the staff did th big parts cause they knew them better. but i got to play with the band for five songs. yeah! and it was just awesome. it was unreal when i walked out on the stage to get behind the keyboard at the first of the show an tnen look up to see like 2500 people sitting in front of you. agh!!!! afterwards we striked the stage and then went home. soo tired.

saturday we had some unreal talks. the belks, who are unreal!!! this guy is our founder and he honestly has some of the coolest stories, like after martin luther kings jrs 'i have a dream' speech belk went up to him and asked if he had dinner plans and he didn't so he was dinner with king after that speech. unreal eh?!?! agh!!! and oh my god i forgot!!! we met ghandi's grandson. he talked to us!!!! unreal to an extreme. wow. anyways and then carolin lee, and big uwp alumn talked to us too and it was awesome. and then we had free time kinda, we went to this place nearby and had a bbq and went swimming in a pool. and then after that we went back to the hotel and watch the era show. this is when all the different alunmi groups - determined by years - get up and do a show of the songs they remember from there year. hahaha sooo funny. loved it. and then again - home and sleep.

sunday we took it easy. i got to mass cause judi is catholic which was awesome - it had been too long! and then we just went home and were lazy. i took a nap. we went swimming in the pool. and then we went out to eat - this really good steak place!!! and that was sunday.
right now i'm on a bus to san diego, california. we're going to be there for two days, doing promotion for cast b's show here in a couple weeks. i'm hopeing that i'm going to be able to see christina (my cousin who now livres here), that'd be awesome. and then wednesday we leave for THAILAND!!!!! oh my GOD!!!!

ok thats it. caught up again. probably won't last too long. oh well. lovelovelove you all!!!!!

ok so i got behind. again.

saturday was our opening night!!!! unbeleiveable!!! it was so awesome! just everyone getting ready and then before the show we had 'green room' - which is basically everyone in the cast/staff coming together and getting pumped for the show together. but since it was the first one they made it all emotional and most of us were crying and hugging and it was just awesome. but also frustrating cause we were told to get ready before so we had all our stage makeup on and then cried it all messy. bah. haha but definitley worth it. sigh . . . . soooo good.

and then the show itself. obviously it wasn't perfect. but it was AWESOME! cause we were all soooo pumped and the engergy was soo high. and i love what i got to do. i'm in the band (keys) for the first two songs, and then dance/sing with the cast on the next three, then sing a solo, then go back to the band for four songs, sit out a couple cause i haven't learned the words/dances yet, and then sing another solo (the last big one) and then sing/dance the theme song with the cast. pretty awesome eh? i love it! i hope it stays pretty similar throughout the tour. the band to cast ratio that is.

oh and another thing for saturday!!! they give out six week internships - basically working for one of the staff members and learning more about that area. its really cool and it looks awesome on a resume and they write you up recommendation letters after. anyways i applied for one but they only have like 12 per round. there's three rounds. anyways i really really really wanted the vocal one cause well - you know me - love the singing. anyways so they announced on saturday morning who got what and i got the vocal one!!! YES!!!! soooooooo pumped. its going to be awesome!!!!

anyways then on sunday (last day with the stonesmiths for me - lauren ditched me in the morning. her cast went to tuscon early) i did laundry and packed and stuff and then matt told me that they were going to cirque du soile (spelling?!?!) and they wanted me to come too. and so obviously i did. it was awesome. unreal. i don't understand. hahaha the acts were just unbelieveable. and then we went home and ate and then i watched alladin with sienna. and then sleep.

monday morning. the tour begins. it was also sienna's birthday so we had cake and ice cream for breakfast before i left. too cute. and then sara's host family came and picked me up so that matt and cindy didn't have to drive there twice - as they drove lauren the day before. and we had to be a tekyio at 7:30. and it was like a 40 min drive. so i said my goodbyes and then we got to tekyio and my hometeam had to load the bus. so we packed as much luggage under the bus as we could - it was hardcore, not a inch left under there. and then we were off. so exciting! it was a nine hour bus ride roughly - but it was awesome. we all just hng out and it went by really fast.then we got to gallup, new mexico. we jumped out, unloaded the bus in the rain, and then changed into our number twos (business-casual) to meet our host familys. mine was unreal!!!!! there was six of us girls staying in one house!!! me, aimee, vanessa, vania, sophia, and alex. so fun. and the house was unreal! she was this artist and so it was just awesome. half of us slept in this cozy little loft thing with three matteresses on the floor and the other three slept in this seperate appartment down in the basement. the things about the basement was that if you wante to get to it from inside the house - you had to go into one of the bathrooms (there were an amazing four!), lift up this trapdoor under the shower an climb down a ladder. unreal eh?! best quote yet was from alex at breakfast. "i really had to pee and someone was using the bathroom in the basement - so i climbed up the ladder and through the trapdoor to use the bathroom." hahaha how often is that a serous sentence!?!? anyways i'm tired so thats it for tonight. i'll catch up some more tomorrow.

ps. lauren was incredible in the show. she rocks my socks. she is my roommate in case that slipped your mind. love her!!!!

okay so the last three days in a nutshell.

nuts.

wednesday cast b had their dress rehersal. awesome job guys!!

thursday we had ours. so0ooooooo much fun. loved it. basically the rest of that day was nuts getting ready for it.

friday. cast b's show!!!!! WOWOWOWOWOWOW! incredible. awesome. superb. magnificent. i'm out of good words. oh and andrew was a little sweetheart and got the band drinks. haha one of the highlights of the day. oh and we had a really good guest speaker. steve farber. look him up. i dare you. ummmmm yup so thats it.

MY SHOW IS TOMORROW!

in case you didn't realize.

i'm pumped

REALLY REALLY PUMPED!!!

i'm pretty sure my host sister cyanne and her friend daina think that i am losing my mind.

they might be right.

ok goin gto bed. goodnight loves

wow. i'm doing tuesday's on tuesday. this hasn't happened in awhile.

today was our fist 12 hour day. thats right. 8-8. not including commute which is 1.5 hours in the morning and 1 hour at night. holymoly. but it really wasn't that bad at all. i think thuirsday and friday will be the real test - cause till saturday (our SHOW!!!!) we have 12 hour days every day.

so the best thing about today was that we did a run though of the show on stage with everyone. band, mic groups, dance solos, singing solos, and the whole cast. WOW. chaos. we had to stop a lot. but that was to be expected. i only had to play three songs on the piano today, all in the second half, so i had to do all the cast dances. which i haven't learned cause i'm always in band. so that was an adventure. not too bad though. i just sat out at the hardcore ones. and then i got to sing two solos. 'one to one' and then the finale 'we'll be there'. one to one is a lot of fun and there a lot of singing so its cool - but we'll be there i go out onstage by myself and sing the first verse and then brodie somes out on the chorus and we sing together and then he sings and then the whole cast comes out and joins us. and then emilie does a solo too with us. but its just a lot of fun cause we get to play off each other and interact and stuff, whereas in one to one i just sing to the audience. anyways i'm crossing my fingers that i'll get to keep these two! it'd be preatty awesome. and so yeah long day. but a good day. i liked it.
