wow, i got through the Nutcracker alive. well, not technically, cause it was my job to die :D (if you missed the other post, i was the nutcracker and sarah was the mouse king, and we did the fight scene with our fencing skillz, so no, we don't dance.) saturday was definitely our best performance. we did shows every night thursday through sunday. sunday sarah and i were determined to do (and die) our best but we fucked it up pretty bad anyway XD i'm ordering the dvd so i can see what we looked like, i never did get to see the taped performances yet. sarah's mom gave us snow globes with a nutcracker in mine and the mouse king in hers and they play one of the more prolific songs from the play. they're awesome XD also, every single night i had my eye on this picture the photographer had taken of clara and drosselmeier (how the HELL do you spell his name?) me lying dead on the floor and i just thought it was so cool. i really wanted it, but he wasn't selling individual photos. finally on the last night i saw him near the table and i went up and half-jokingly asked if i could have it and he said "yeah, okay sure." i was like OMG YOU ROCK!! i was so happy. i'd been planning to steal it all weekend. XD also he said i was the only one who thanked him for a picture, though they were giving them away to the major dancers as gifts. bitches. anyway, in a major way i'm glad it's over, it was really time-consuming and i missed talking to gabe a lot. also though i'm kind of missing it.. it wasn't as nerve-wracking to be onstage as i thought, i barely got nervous at all. which is pretty cool since i barely ever do anything involving large crowds XD anyway here's said picture. (and yes, this is the head i bitched about so much, but i do see how necessary it was now XD)

eventfulness has finally eventuated. so since tuesday i've been engaged in nightly practices for the nutcracker, yesterday was a dress rehearsal and the performances are tonight, saturday night, and sunday afternoon. sarah and i are getting a lot better and everbody tells us we're doing well. we had an incident yesterday that was totally surreal though. we used to be camp counselors to the only little boy (age 8 or 9) in the show, name of zack, and a lot of other children and they call us mommy and daddy (don't ask, i've come to terms with having to be "daddy"-_-) buut... zack's dad, halfway through the show, told him he couldn't be around me and sarah anymore because we were older girls. what the hell. he didn't even say anything to us, zack's friend amanda ran up and told us why he was crying. his dad was standing outside the room that he was in, glaring at us as if to make sure we couldn't go in and see him. so we got rather upset and went to his dad, and i asked what the problem was. he told us he never said zack couldn't hang around us, it was just that he couldn't hang around in the room we were usually in because he wanted zach to "Focus on the ballet" dude. that is such a lie i wouldn't even have needed to look in his squinty little eyes to tell >.> ever after he keeps staring and staring at us whenever we're around zack. it creeps me out. we think we know the reason, though. zack's mom ran away and left them and his dad is now remarried but it looks like he's jealous of zack liking us so much and calling us mommy/daddy maybe he also thinks we're some kind of weirdo perverts too, but i think that other is the main reason. he's so creepy and weird. ugh. and then there's the other issue. yesterday i discovered my missing-for-two-months history notebook, and all my sketches (some of which i worked really hard on and liked a lot) were totally defiled and stuff like "slut" and "jew" were written all over it and tits drawn on all the girls and etc. etc. this. does not. please me. so i turned it in to the honor council aaand they think they've pinpointed who it is. i thought the exact same thing. but recent things i've taken into consideration have caused me to change my mind; i'm positive it was somebody(s) in the ninth grade class (i don't even KNOW most of the little buggers) i sure as hell don't like the guy the headmaster thinks it is, but i don't want him punished when it's somebody else; not because i want to save him from the humiliation but because i don't want whoever really did it to get away with it. anyway. wish me luck tonight, hopefully i can keep that stupid nutcracker head on and breathe inside it :)

unhappy... very very very very unhappy *accountant music* okay so... remember how sarah(tohru168) and i are doing the fight scene in the nutcracker? yes? well. the heads are obscenely ugly. yes our costumes are AWESOME, i want to steal mine, and hers too actually, but the clunky heads we have to wear are a nightmare from hell itself. they are mangy, smell musty, are fifteen times the size of our actual heads, and are extremely stupid. especially mine. :/ it's like wearing a wrecked car, only uglier and more uncomfortable. yayy. miss dana (in charge of everything) is the devil incarnate. we were there from 4 pm to 9:30 pm and tomorrow we get to get up and be there at 10 sounds like fun yes? ugh. going to bed now.

i'm not dead i'm getting better i think i'll go for a walk i feeeel happyyyyy! ...whoever got that, you probably don't exist... anyway. i am not in fact dead, just can't find a lot of stuff to talk about. plus i'm ashamed of not doing more manga pages. i've got one of indigo sea going, and though aya doesn't take much effort at all, i have none of that going, so i really SHOULD do another page. i got a webcam this weekend, that's pretty cool. :D also i'm reading an excellent book on japanese myths and legends, it's one of the most engaging things i've read in a while. certainly more engaging than "crown duel." pfft. talk about mediocre fantasy. my english teacher, who is completely awesome and lets us read pretty much whatever we want for independent british lit (even if it's not british XD) and actually admits when she gets something wrong, is leaving us to work at the community college. the community college. it isn't exactly the high meeting of minds or anything, i'm not sure why it's like her life's ambition to work there. anyway. we'll probably get somebody stiff as a board who drones on about grammar all class long. siiiiiiiiiiiiigh. ah well. thanksgiving break starts at the end of school tomorrow, so we don't have to go back till monday. my uncle and his girlfriend and their dog are coming to visit. i got some cool long coats this weekend. i love long coats. they're all... awesome. anyway, i think that's all my updates :)

well, i just got back from Nutcracker practice. no, i'm not a dancer... tohru168(sarah) and i are doing the fight scene between the rat and the nutcracker with our awesome fencing skillz :P it was a pretty fun practice, though a tad confusing.. she's basically leaving the planning of what we do up to us, which left us in total consternation half the time, we thought she was gonna sort of choreograph it for us XD anyway, we get to kill each other dramatically, something we've been doing after fencing classes every night all during fencing coincidence? or destiny?! unfortunately we have to wear clunky heads. it is imperative to the safety of our eyes while we spar. yet it is rather lacking in dignity. :D oh well. at least i don't have to smell my sword. haha, sarah. haha. XD i'm kidding; don't kill me, you already have once today. in other news... uh.. there is no other news :D except that i'm making a big painting for my mom's office at the university she's teaching at, of me reading on the couch with shimbo (my fat catmuffin) lying on me, and outside the window, a griffin chasing the peacocks that like to hang around in our yard. it was her Vision, apparently, so that's what i'm doing. aaand Indigo Sea has a new linky picture. i think it's a lot better than the old one. (it's down at the bottom of the page.)
