*Da da da duuuuummmmm!!!!*
Thank you.
Now it is time for the results of my audition last night to be revealed... I LANDED A PART! Yay, applause is much appreciated, thank you, thank you. I got to school this morning and I was editing my creative component for English in the library. Chris walked in just before the morning bell for homeroom period rang and told me the results were posted on the drama room door. Obviously very excited, I rushed over there to get a peak, and sure enough my name was on there. My official role is soldier #2. It's one of the minor roles, but I get to sing and I'm just so happy to be in the production this year! After all, like my drama teacher always says "There are no small roles, only small actors". Yeah, put that one in your wise quote book, folks! The only thing about it that pissed me off was my name being spelled wrong. Darn you, Mr. Fetterley! It's a major pet peeve of mine. It was awesome when I walked into homeroom and as soon as Chris saw me, he started clapping for me. He obviously knew I had gotten the part beforehand and just wanted to make me sweat a little, typical Chris. Anyway, I told him flat out that I wouldn't have gotten the role if it hadn't been for him and of course, he wasted no time in agreeing with me, the joker that he is. I'm going to buy him a cake and a thank you card! I'm not even kidding! I owe him big-time because he went out on a limb to help me out when he didn't have to. The funniest thing about it was when he told me he felt really confident that he would get a part because there were six male roles and only five males showed up for the audition. When I asked him what they were going to do about the empty role, he said the lead role is no longer Lester, it's Leslie. That got a laugh out of me.
Hmmm... which reminds me that I have to stay after school tomorrow to work on my seminar with Chris and his friend who may be his girlfriend but I'm not sure and for the most part don't think so, Christina. I also have to stay after school on Thursday as well for the first read-through of the play. I'm really excited! Me getting a role really digs a thorn in TJ's side because now he has to reschedule our Dungeons and Dragons night from Thursdays to Tuesdays. Unfortunately, I'll miss this week's session because he doesn't have the time to reschedule it this week (it's already Tuesday and I just found out I landed a role today), so he'll have it as his house with Samurai. His real name is Chris but then you would get confused with the other Chris I've been talking about so I'll just call him by his nickname, Samurai. Next week it's Tuesdays at my place though. Other than having to reschedule Dungeons and Dragons (D&D), I think he's happy for me... I think. He didn't really say anything other than "okay, cool." when I told him but for TJ, I'm pretty sure that's excitement.
Yay! My report card finally came! The stupid school decided to mail them out this year so the students won't throw them out before showing their parents. I really don't see the point. The kids who throw theirs out and their parents don't question why they haven't seen a midterm report card are the parents who don't give a damn about their kid's education anyway. Besides, most of the students ARE the ones who get the mail. My mom's been hounding me for a week about the report cards. I think she actually marks down the approximate few days in which they're supposed to go home. I'm so happy with my marks, though! I have an 88% in vocal, a 91% in English, a 90% in philosophy and a 96% in studies in literature. Overall, an average of 91%. Now I can relax and take a short breather before having to work my butt off again to keep it the same for my final report card. Honestly, I'm a little disappointed with my vocal mark. If I can bump it up a few higher before the final, I'll be really happy. It's not bad as it is though so I'm not too worried or upset over it.
Heh heh, I bet you're all wondering about the "Mom's Hypnosis" thing in the title. Well, this I had absolutely no clue about until I got home from school today. My mom's been a heavy smoker for well over twenty years and recently, she's become more health-conscious and really wants to quit. The only problem is she gets severe alergic reactions to the nicotine patches, nicotine gum and everything else they're released to help people quit smoking. When she tries to quit cold-turkey, she turns into this horrid monster no one wants to be around and she's back on smoking within a week. Basically, she gave up after a while but then she heard of hypnosis to help people quit smoking. Apparently she made an appointment today and now she can't even take one drag off a cigarette because it makes her want to vomit! IT ACTUALLY WORKED! Everything else failed, all the science and medical techniques had no effect or made her worse but this hypnosis thing worked it's magic in one day! My mom says the lady who hypnotized her asked her what the most foul, vile, disgusting taste in the world was to her. For my mom it's sugar. She hates anything sweet and if something has sugar in it, she wants to throw it up, she hates it that much. The lady hypnotized her and now my mom says that every time she tries to smoke a cigarette, it tastes like syrup and she wants to just puke right then and there. My mom's been trying all these scientific methods that are supposed to take weeks and weeks to make you quit and none of it worked, but one hypnosis session did. It just goes to show that natural healing is SO much more effective than scientific healing because natural healing heals the soul as well as the body wheras science just heals the body. We all know that if the soul is damaged, then your body will be affected by that, too. Science has yet to realize that, unfortunately.
Oh wow! I was just watching Oprah's Favourite Things (her Christmas special where she gives away hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stuff) and Josh Groban was on to promote his Christmas album, "Noel". I swear, his voice brought me to my knees! He has the voice of an angel and even though I've never met an angel, I'm fairly certain I'm not exaggerating by a large margin.
Anyway, it's time for me to go roleplay a bit since all of my homework's finished. Buh-bye for now and Blessed Be!
