Come What May

Listening to: Phantom of the Opera
Feeling: ambitious
Friday, January 28,2005, 6th period, Cardinal Newman, Religion class: Amy Brown: Lori, are you going to be on Broadway? Lori, cassually responds: mmm hmm Amy: Good, I want to see you there, it will be fun. Something about that conversation made me so happy. The fact Amy asked it like a simple question such as "Lori are you going the basketball game tonight?", the way I responded without thinking, or saying "I hope", and even more the fact I didn't say NO. I know I have a LOOOOONG way to go before I'll get there, and I know I have many things to learn. I don't think I got into Oklahoma which makes me SO sad, but it's just one show, and not really a show I particularly like. I still really hope somehow that I am in it, but I'm already over it if I didn't get a part. I know I'm not the best singer, actress, and defintly not even a good dancer, but that's what all the lessons I take are for, to make me better. I just know that I want to be on Broadway more than anything, more than a boyfriend, or money, or popularity, anything. It's all I really think about. I can somehow make everything draw back to Broadway, and I'm proud to say I introduced Wicked to Kelley, and made Leslie a cd of my favorite broadway songs, and guess what! She liked it!!! And Molly is going to see Hairspray this spring break. So even though some people are still like "why are you turning into a broadway freak?" or asking me what I'm quietly singing to myself and then asking "oh is that some Broadway crap?". I still have a good amount of supportive friends. so no matter what, I promise everyone I WILL be on Broadway. Here's a picture though its not of me:
