Listening to: Summer Driving Mix
This has to have been the best weekend of my life.
Aida performances have gone swimmingly. Thursday Michael came to see me with his mom and Jared and it went real well. Friday, the techies messed up and the orchestra couldn`t hear us, so that wasn`t so good. But last night was the best performance I`ve ever done. We got so many good comments. T, our director, said it was the best performance we`ve done so far. Megan`s cousin said it was the best high school performance she`s ever seen. Mike Bozarth said he forgot that he was watching a high school performance. And he went to NCHS. I can`t wait to watch the DVD.
The cast parties have been just as good. Puddin`s was on Friday night. His basement is a friggin arcade. No joke. He`s got at least 5 pinball machines, slot machines, and arcade game machines, a pool/ping pong table, a big screen TV, a popcorn maker, and a vibrating futon. Me and a group of other people played Polish Pool. That has to be the funnest game ever. The drama department loves it. I had to get a ride home from Samm and she dropped me off at 1 in the morning.
Saturday was Casa Monson. It was the last installment of a four year long tradition. Andy always writes paragraphs about something or other when he has papers posted around the green room saying where his house is and such. This last paragraph almost made me cry. He talked about how his freshman year, during Joseph, he told everyone that he was having a cast party and said how he went home and sat at his window, wondering if anyone was going to show up. And they all did. It got me worked up a bit. I don`t care what people say, Andy Monson is one amazing person.
I`m going to miss him next year. Along with all of the other seniors. Saturday is going to be one big crying fest. We`re losing Sarah H., Cameron, Wendy, Andy, Chris, Ben, Tosha, Josh, Brandt, Shane, Amanda, Sarah E., and countless others.
I`m so glad that I got involved in this years musical. It has brought me closer to so many people. Like Andrew. We were sitting in his car at 12:30 this morning [after midnight] talking about anything and everything. He`s such an amazing person. I don`t think that most people know the real him. I don`t yet, of course. But either way, I can`t wait for our next story time trade.
Things between Michael and me have gotten so much better. They started to get better last Thursday and kept progessing. Today we went to Anderson park and "played tennis". We basically us hit the ball back and forth. It was fun, though. I care about him a lot.
I haven`t seen Maddie in a long time, though. We`re hanging out next Sunday for sure. We need to exchange gifts and catch up on what`s been going on with each other. Talk about what we`re going to do this summer. Other than the obvious hanging out with each other almost every day. Find out what shows are going down in the area that we`d be interested in.
I am excited for summer. Today it got to be 80 out. It was the greatest feeling just sitting out there and having the sun`s rays hit my body. I have missed it a lot. Winter puts me in such a bad mood. I am in love with summer. I always will be in love with it.
summer days are gone away, but summer dreams are here to stay.
