But atleast Amanda is in the show. And, hopefully I'll still help with the show. Of course i'll usher but I think im going to attempt to help with hair, makeup, and costumes, if i can learn how to do all of that stuff. well, i am learning to sew on saturday. i hope.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On sort of another note, Jungle Book, another show i auditioned for but didnt get into, is this saturday and next saturday. im ushering with amanda, which is always fun&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rapunzel: Uncut starts rehearsals back up on friday. lets hope we dont suck! i'm definetly excited for when we start performing it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On a completely different note, i am almost done with the stupidest study hall in the world called even day period five in what i think is C220.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And lastly, Honors english next year?&amp;nbsp; Honors whatever the history class is? I finally figured which electives to take. piano 1 (i was supposed to be in it with jill, but people are stupid) and chorus! (im actually excited for this), and if my schedule fits it, technical theatre. the end.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;now, due to my pounding headache, i'll go waste away in front of the Tyra Show, which begins at two!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;hah.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/hands_down31/563721564/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Monday, January 08, 2007</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/hands_down31/561630706/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/hands_down31/561630706/item.html</guid><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jan 2007 21:20:24 GMT</pubDate><description>so today was better&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i think im going to start updating this again&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;to bad amandas the only one who reads this?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;oh well&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;haha&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/hands_down31/561630706/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Sunday, January 07, 2007</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/hands_down31/561364518/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/hands_down31/561364518/item.html</guid><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jan 2007 16:00:56 GMT</pubDate><description>sorry I only update when i have something to complain about.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;but really right now sucks. worst way to kick of the new year.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i sort of hate millie. a lot.&amp;nbsp; after auditioning, yeah neither of my auditions were great, but i started thinking a little more positively. like yeah, i have a chance. then the worst thing happened. see, i would have been fine with not being in the show. but then my best friend did get in the show. so the next four months of 2007 will basically be hell-ish. it sounds like an exaggeration. but its not. words honestly cant describe how badly i wanted to be in the show. i wanted to be stressed out about being up late from rehearsals and still have to do homework. and study. and term paper. i wanted to be able to tell everyone that yeah, i got in the show, instead of crying almost everytime its mentioned. i wanted to go to the freddys. idk. it sounds over dramatic. but it really is how i feel.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;the.end.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;now i have to go get dressed and get fish for science fair tonight&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i dont think im going to youth group. which sucks. to much stuff to do.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/hands_down31/561364518/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Wednesday, December 20, 2006</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/hands_down31/557387376/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/hands_down31/557387376/item.html</guid><pubDate>Wed, 20 Dec 2006 20:18:05 GMT</pubDate><description>so ive decided to update&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;the gretna glen retreat was ... a long time ago. it was sad, but it was amazing. definetely the best retreat eve r.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://photo.xanga.com/hands_down31/f67e996358808/photo.html"&gt;&lt;img title="gg group" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px; width: 412px; height: 300px;" src="http://xf6.xanga.com/7e9d72502523696358808/z67516899.gif"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;the next thing i can remember after this is childrens workshops... which were freaking amazing.&lt;br&gt;and brandie and amanda are definetely two of my favorite people EVER.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href=""&gt;&lt;img title="" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px;" src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b361/handsdown31/gggroup.gif" width="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;a target="_blank" href=""&gt;&lt;img title="" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px;" src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b361/handsdown31/gggroup.gif" width="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://photo.xanga.com/hands_down31/e043a96359164/photo.html"&gt;&lt;img title="brandie amanda me" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px;" src="http://xe0.xanga.com/43ad25504333596359164/z67517176.jpg" width="400"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;yeahhh.... were pretty cool.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;so yes. childrens workshops were awesome... the songs were age of aquarius which sucked but the other was you cant stop the beat which was amazing. haha. and the dance was fun, which was good because me and amanda were dance TA's!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;so. today i learned that theatre monolouges completely suck. but i'll be optimistic. blah.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;anyways....
