A couple of awesome things have happened recently...
~On the second night of my show, my guitar teacher, my sister's choir teacher, and my previous science teacher all came (three people I really admire). My guitar said I did a great job playing the guitar and keeping my concentration. The choir teacher said I am a great comedic actor and that I did a great job with my voice projection and pronunciation. My science teacher loved the whole show.
To have three people I admire compliment me boosted my spirits immensely (I'd been struggling with some personal stuff lately, which had instigated a group hug from a bunch of cast members)
~Also, my grandma is sending me cute interactive e-letters for every day of Advent. It's just a nice reminder that I am loved.
~And we had the most hilarious rehearsal yesterday. We're taking the show to an elementary school in a couple days, so we were prepping for that. During the scene where my partner-in-crime and I flirt, our director had paused it. The guy I flirt with looked at me and said "I think we should turn this kiss into one long lick." Me, him, and another girl just started dying and we confused the lightboard operator (a very pure small child).
~Lastly, the most popular guy in the school has taken it upon himself to be the warden and pal of all theatre kids

So, I am no longer really playing. I am sticking around to collect pets which I will exchange for art. Please only contact me about art or if you need some advice or a listening ear.
