Done with my schoolwork. Almost done with Annie. Maybe even done with Colorado. I finished up my schoolwork yesterday. Do you hear me? It is DONE. Not everything is scored so my diploma is not yet in hand, but it is done. Tonight is the last time I’m working backstage at Annie. Then Sunday is the…

I don’t want to even imagine what Barney-vampier-zombies would be like. And yesterday was the most horrible Annie practice EVER. It was scene one, and the orphans were doing their “it’s the hard knock life” dance over and over and over and over. I have no clue what was wrong with it. But we were…

Annie has been the most exciting thing in my life for the past while (except for the whole falling off a bunk bed thing) but I always seem to be too tired to post about it. Sorry. I will now proceed to tell you the tragic story of the Stage Left Three. Me, Michael, and…

Yesterday I made a strawberry pie, a bonnie butter cake, and started on an apron. When I told mom this she said, “What’s next? You’re getting married?” Ha ha ha. I also bought a pheasant-under-glass. I don’t really know what they’re actually called. They look like this. There was this song we used to sing…

I GOT MY RESEARCH PAPER DONE TODAY!!!!!!!! Finally finally finally I am actually getting close to getting my high school work done. It is an amazing feeling. I now have to do once pace of economics and finish up various books and reports on books that comprise my Christian Literature and then I’ll be done.…

Well my tooth is gone. Pulled. There is a gap in my grin. Relatively unnoticeable, but still there. And I am extremely paranoid that I am going to suck out the blood clot accidentally. When the tooth was out of my head the dentist and his assistant stood there exclaiming at the size of my root canals. Apparently I have abnormally small…

Oh my bunnyslippers after I leaped off the bunk bed on Thursday morning everything has been happening at once. There was a dress rehearsal that night, and performances Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Sunday I also had church before the performance and a 50’s dinner after the performance. And then this morning I went to the dentist,…

Everything made sense until my chin hit the floor. Somehow the beeping indicated that a lady needed something from me, so all I had to do was hop out of bed, help her, and then hop back into bed. But then my chin shot forward and hit the floor with a bone jarring thud. I…

The kid in the green shirt got roped into curtain duty. So now he’ll be backstage all the time. Except when he’s on stage. Sweet. Apparently my landlord is going to show my house to someone tomorrow. Which means I’ll have to get up early and clean. Fun fun. It also means that my landlord…

Today was the most amazing “Annie!” practice ever. Seriously. Marcy, the stage manager, decided that today would be a good day to play pranks and make Nancy, the director, upset. So first all us backstage people put on fancy hats, held hands, ran out on stage in the middle of a scene, bowed, and ran…
