only pictures can describe my life right now

I'm too lazy to write a full blog about what's been going on in my life right now.

So here's a short summary of the past couple of days in pictures.

That is indeed me dressed as a ballerina for Bye Bye Birdie.

Jer with lemon breasts. Yup.

Me with some of the gang at the Gorge!

We're mermaids!

I don't know why I find this picture so amusing but I do.

Zack showing me where to jump so that I don't hit the rocks.

Superheroes!

Some good ol' roomie lovin'

The day at the Gorge was cut short by a storm, so we decided to have a party in our bathtub.

Ashley (Amber's twin) joined us in the bath tub and in a traditional "hump face" picture.

Been a while...

It's been a while since I've posted on here. Oops! I don't think very many people read this anyway, but those of you who do, I'm sorry.

I'm in Utah right now- Yay!!! I actually went home home, as in Spanish Fork, this weekend. I went to my friend Leisl's show and to her birthday party, it was fun, weird being back around some of my old high school friends. It's just so crazy to me that in high school it seems like you and your friends are pretty much living the same life and then how completely different you all get from each other after high school. I spent some quality time with the fam and last night I hung out with 2 of my favorite boys-- Craig and Christian!!! I have missed them oh so much! I'm still at Craig's right now and getting ready to go up to Lagoon to hang out with Jer and the ever wonderful Miss Angela Graham!

Birdie opened last week and has been going great, I wish we had bigger audiences, but people in Rock Springs don't care enough to take time out of their summers to come see shows, but it's all good, the audiences that we have had so far have been great.

Just half an hour ago I finished my final for my online Computer Info Systems class!!! Hallelujah! Now let's see if I pass...

Loaf-N-Jug

The run through of Birdie went really well tonight!!! It's all coming together, I'm just worried about the technical aspects of it mostly. The fact that the only crew we have is us is kind of scary, we just have no one to move the sets for the scenes that we're all on for!

After the run through we went to the Loaf-N-Jug (aka Tit-N-Toast, aka Boob-N-Bread) and got some slurpees/milkshakes/wraps/etc. I swear we're in there at least twice a week!

The main point of this blog is to get you to subscribe to my new Youtube channel. I'll be putting on lots of different funny vids from WWCC (Fat Dawgs, Trash Family, and whatever else happens.) Please subscribe and watch!!! ** http://www.youtube.com/user/InTheRocks101 **

Trashy Fam

So, today I finally went into the counseling center and set up an appointment for next Tuesday! I'm excited and happy that I'm finally going to get help for myself, but also really nervous that I won't know what to say or do at a counseling session? Is that a dumb fear to have? Either way, I'm going, ah! I don't know why I'm so scared of going to counseling or why I'm afraid of people thinking that I'm a complete crazy person because I'm going to counseling. I guess I'll just have to get over it.

Today we're doing run throughs of Bye Bye Birdie. I can't believe we open on Monday!!! WOW!!! It'll be a good show, I just want it to be ready and open already.

I tried to post a video that me and my roomies filmed randomly today but it didn't work, so here's the youtube link:

We randomly started having this "Trashy Family" thing a week or so ago and it just randomly happens. We got a tiny bit of it filmed this time just for funsies. Enjoy!

pointless blog....

Today has been a fantastic day! I just had a wonderful late night wing session at Applebee's with the fantastic summerstock gang! :) I love them all sooooo much!

Some of tonight's top-rated quotes:

-You see, I got herpes for the Lord. -Amber McNew

-Either yer hair's eatin' apples or ya got critters in yer hair! -Me

-I've got chocolate all over my face.

You've got chocolate all over your body. I think you're turning brown!

He is brown.

-Austin, Me, and Amber

Okay, so some of these don't seem so funny but they were I promise. . . . . awkward.

Today we had Birdie rehearsals, I can't believe we open in less than a week! So nervous! But it'll all come together....at least that's what we keep telling ourselves.

Wow. Totally pointless blog.

Goodnight.

A Weekend In Utah!

The kid's show is over now! :( So happy, but so sad at the same time. Meh. Here are some pictures from working on the kid's show.

Some of the staff and cast on 80's dress up day!

Me and Emily stringing popcorn for Annie Jr.

It had been a long day if you can't already tell from my haggard appearance and paint covered clothes/body. It was about 2:30 am and I had been going since 9 am.

Chillin' backstage (looking like a haggard-A crumunchin) with some of the cast and crew of Millie Jr.

Zack, Taylor, and I with the one and only BONNIE! Love her!

Me and some of the kid's from Millie Jr.

Birdie opens in a week! Ah! Kind of freaking out a little but I know that everything will fall into place and work out. :)

I had a much needed weekend away from Wyoming. It was nice, although parts of it were not so nice. It sometimes sucks learning things about yourself that you'd rather not. And being an emotional mess in front of people you hardly even know.... embarrassing. Definitely going to see a counselor here at the college.....finally. But I spent the weekend at Jer's house and got to see his show again as well as Angie's show at Lagoon! Phenomenal! I have some amazingly talented friends!

Tonight when I got back from Utah, Amber, Anna, and I all put on cute summery dresses, make mini sandwiches, and drank apple juice from a cute little polka-dotted tea set that I bought and watched Alice in Wonderland! LOVE IT! LOVE THEM!

Children's Shows Opened = Happiness

Tonight was the first (of only two, thank goodness!) of the nights of the kids' shows!

Annie Jr: For Annie I am in charge of the Stage Left crew. Our side of the stage did pretty well I would say. (Except for forgetting to bring the escape stairs out of the shop. Oops. Don't worry, we got them on in time.) But other than that no major glitches on our part. The show tech-wise as a whole though...show from HELL!!! Everything that could possible go wrong did go wrong.

Examples:

-The music for "Tomorrow" stopping in the middle of the song.

-Painfully long set changes.

-Fly rails getting stuck.

-Missing light cues.

-Crazy children not knowing when to go on and expecting the tech crew to know.

-Crazy diva children.

-Crazy children oblivious to large set pieces coming their way and people trying to get them to move out of the way until they have to be physically picked up off the ground and moved.

-Children all together, can we just run the show without them? Lol! Jk!

Millie: I am stage managing Millie (meaning for the run of the show I'm calling all of the cues.) Millie went VERY well. No major mess ups. Yup. Much happier with Millie. Lovely. And in this show there are only 40 teenagers, much better than 70 children under the age of 12.

Today I was counting up my hours for the week so far....44 hours. In 3 days. That's more than a full weeks worth of work for a full time job. I wish I was getting paid hourly.

I think it's about time for bed now. Tomorrow, Birdie rehearsals, and get this, they don't start until 9:30! I'm so excited!!! Legit! :)
