*Adventuring out into the wilderness with my younger sister to smash ice, cough, slates over an unsuspecting stump, cough, Gilbert Blythe.
*Eating chocolate chess pieces from my brother and playing 3-player chess. (As if 2 wasn't hard enough!)
*Practicing evil laughter.
*Becoming addicted to Pinterest. I recently woke up at 3am and couldn't fall back to sleep, so I used Pinterest to help figure out if it was possible to make a climbable tree as a set piece.
*Performing thee most embarrassing 10+ point turn while my sister's director waited for me to get out of his way.
*Discovering that selling candy bars to fund your prom is exceedingly awkward. I've made a mental note to always buy candy bars for fundraisers in the future because now I know how great it feels to have someone buy one.
*Discovering that explaining that homeschoolers can have a prom and that we can be just like other high schoolers is also awkward.
*Spending most of my time under my covers or snuggled in sweater because Wisconsin is cold!
*Sitting in on the first rehearsal of a local show that I'm not in (it's a talent, remember?) to pick up a prop that wasn't there. I ended up staying for the whole rehearsal plus an extra half hour because of how much I missed my local theatre family. Seriously, guys, theatre is awesome. I sort of did an internal happy dance when they said the prop wasn't there today, but I'm welcome to come to any other rehearsals in the future to pick it up or hang out.
*Making intermission conversation.
'How are you?'
'Good, you?'
'Good. How do you like the show?'
'Good, you?'
'Good.'
And that's usually pretty much it. Intermission isn't long enough to have a full conversation, and depending on the person you're talking to, you just don't know what else to say. I tend to do the awkward 'How are you?' circle more than the normal one time in a conversation, leaving the person I'm talking to feeling confused and awkward.
*Finishing up the last of the Christmas baking mixes. There's no loser in this situation. Seriously.
*Senior year craziness. Prom. School. Graduation. Deep breaths.
*Gilbert Blythe the stump. I'm telling you, it's addicting smashing slates. ;)
ReplyDelete*Three person chess? The very word chess means "run" in my dictionary. 0_o
*Pinterest is awesome. :D
*I BOUGHT A CANDY BAR. And it was gone in five seconds. =)
*Let's see how many different emoticons I can put on here. ^_^
You're gonna be a pro at your evil laughing by showtime. ^_^ I am TERRIBLE at talking to people I don't know, which is why I try to avoid sitting next to strangers, so I'm impressed by your intermission conversations. ;)
