The only time I was home for a solid twenty-four hours was the Monday after Easter. I can no longer remember what I did the Saturday before Easter, but on Easter Sunday itself our family went to the eastern part of the state to celebrate with relatives. It was actually very nice. The Monday after I stayed at home and did absolutely nothing except listen to the petty arguments between my brothers over some GameBoy dispute. I did call Kelly and asked her when she was available to make the sign. We decided to wait until Friday.
Tuesday I went to the high school and helped paint the castle among other things. Surprisingly it was a pretty good turn out. Even though my hair suffered a little wind blowing, it felt nice to just come to school in a T-shirt and sweats, which ended up covered in paint by the end of the day.
Wednesday I returned to the high school and repainted the stairs to the castle, only to have to repaint them again four hours later. I left the school very angry and drove around the block before pulling into my driveway, where my brothers began to beat on the car windows, singing Beatles songs at the top of their lungs. Only a few short hours later I was back at the high school for rehearsal for The Hunt, as we will be performing this in front of an audience of 1,000 or so at State Conference this coming weekend. All in all, the rehearsal went pretty well.
Thursday my sister and I went to a four hour rehearsal of Beauty and the Beast, and then I rushed home to frost cookies before heading to a surprise birthday party for Mr. Phan, the student choir teacher. The plan was a success, as well as the cookies my mom and I made. I would've made them myself, but my cooking tends to turn people away from food rather than bring them to food. I was able to get home by midnight in freezing rain and snow.
Friday morning I went prom dress shopping with my mother... and my sister and brothers. After trying on four different dresses, I narrowed it down to these two.
The first one here is a very elegant dress. The little dots you see are black and silver, and I love the white, even though I promised myself I wouldn't wear a white dress until my wedding day. My sister liked how it gave my figure shape and didn't make me look fat. There was also this dress here.
This dress really brought out my eyes and made me look really slim. I loved the various shades of blue. Alissa and Brian both thought it very nice on me. Trevor refused to comment on any of the dresses I wore because none of them had straps. I thought it was cute that he was looking out for his big sister. One of the dresses gave me the fear of pulling a "wardrobe malfunction", and since they didn't have another one in a smaller size, I went with the other dress. But I'm not even going to tell my readers (if any) which dress I got until after prom night. It's a wait-and-see game, and everyone will have to wait to see what dress I will be donning on May 10, 2008.
Friday afternoon Kelly, her boyfriend Jordan, and I finally got together and made the sign for Mr. Landry, the student band teacher. The good news is it's almost complete with just a few more details. The bad news is that the spray paint soaked through the fabric and onto the concrete area where we made the sign... which was at one of the elementary schools. Kelly and I are extremely worried that we are going to get in trouble for putting graffiti that reads "We <3 Mr. Landry!" on school property, but Jordan doesn't appear worried. As long as we don't get caught (and I have a feeling that eventually we will be) everything should be fine.
Yesterday I returned to the high school to help rebuild the set for The Hunt so we could practice setting up and taking apart the set in an hour when we actually go to state. I lifted many heavy platforms, and today my shoulders are paying the price. Tomorrow our school goes back into session, and we begin fourth quarter. This weekend I will be at State Conference for Thespians at Ashland University, the weekend after I will be performing as a chorus member in Beauty and the Beast. The weekend after... who knows? All I know is that chaos lies ahead, and I must prepare for rough waters.
That is all.
Thank you and good night.
