   Finally: my blog about competition
Yeah, i have NO SCHOOL tomorrow, and all I'm doing is listening to the RENT Soundtrack online (and waiting for a Gaia Event update), so here ya'll go:

THURSDAY, DAY 1:
We had to leave the school at EIGHT FORKING AM, and I was damn tired, but climbed on that bus with all my other loser friends, while we just kind of sat there, listening to CD players and gabbing like dorks. We stopped halfway to comp. at this really nice gas station, where most of us got food or coffee or whatever, then back on the bus for another couple of hours. Arrived at comp around 11:30AM, and then....CHAOS. Had to eat lunch real quick, before getting debriefed on our scheduel for that day: Monologues started at 2, Scenes at 4, and Tech Orientation at 2:30. So, basically, we were on our own for the next half-day or so.
(During lunch we saw other competers arrive, plus those that were already there. Quote my buddy Trisha, as we watched dudes messing around on the lawn ((comp. was held at a smallish college upstate)) "LOOK, dudes having sex!" And me, the ever-fangirly-yaoi-lover? "OHOHOHOH, WHERE? <3")
I watched monologues for a bit, before helping this girl in my group get ready for her's, then watched more. Once all of them were done, I went to go get prepped for my scene. Prepping = changing, applying makeup, making sure I had all my props, freaking out a bit, and trying to find my right room for my part of comp. Found it, sat around with my scene partner, watched some pretty good scenes, then, we were ON. I was so scared guys, but I did it! Yay!
After all that, our group met up to go out for dinner, at this mall, which was great. The mall, I mean. Big, spacious, with the freakin' COOLEST Hot Topic ever. Well, after running around with bitching-complaining-Mal, I just joined my folks and our director for dinner across the parking lot at Applebees, so yeah, yum.
Get to the hotel, which was loverly, check in, sit around for a bit, before hitting the pool. Now, lemme tell you: 28 teenagers + a pool/hot tub = much fun to be had by all. First, the guys had to be macho and pull out the diving contests. Then, the belly-flop contests. Then, it was Chicken (which I got bruises from, lmao!). But yeah, pool was great! Even better because THE GUY *heartthroooooob* was there, looking totally rape-a-ble in just some swim trunks.
After pool time, we all headed up for showers, before just kind of hanging out before lights-out/room-check. (By hanging out, I was watching the guys play Halo in one room, while having girl-talk on the bed. oh, and it's very possible to fit 8-9 people on a hotel bed comfortably). Basically, i was avoiding my roomates, (all annoying, except Steph, but she had the same plan as me). Turned in around 11:30PM for the night, since we had to be up by 6AM, to make it on the bus my 8.
