Happy day oh happy day!!

Sooooooooooooooo yesterday was probably the BEST day of my LIFE!!!!!!! So many things happened yesterday that were just amazing!!!!!!!!!! I got the part i wanted in the musical, I am a lead in Oklahoma. I am Aunt Eller who is this bad ass old woman! XD I got an email from Lenoir-Rhyne from Dr. Weber who is the vocal man for music and I am going to audition for a music minor and the A Capella choir that travels around the world!!!!! Got this info during the day!

Then i had to go to work and was in the BESTEST of moods EVER!!!! All i needed was to see ben (who came back for break!!) but his train ran over a tree and they were delayed for two hours. So during then i formed up a plan to surprise him at his house. I got there and his brother Max waited for me with a flashlight. I hid up on a hill behind their house behind a trailer no one lives in. It would have TOTALLY worked if Ben's grandpa didn't drive all the way up their to turn around. Then he saw me in the window. It was a failed surprise on my part, but he was pretty surprised! hahaha
It was great to see him!! I've missed him sooooooooooooo much... I was able to spend the night and we just snuggled all night. It was wonderful. <3

So yesterday was a wonderful night and I have been in a great mood since then. Now it is Christmas Eve and my grandparents are coming over, I have a new dress for service tonight that looks AMAZING on me, and everything is calm. It feels like this will be a wonderful Christmas. :)

AUDITION WEEK!!!!

So today is audition week for musical!!! Today is vocal auditions, Wednesday and Thursday are speaking auditions and (hopefully) we find out who's who on Friday!!! I am excited and nervous and pumped!!! XD

Physical Therapy

So my last blog was all gloomy and depressing so I decided to now tell you my good news!! I got the results of my X-ray and my spine is perfectly fine. So my pain is all muscle. Anyways, I went to physical therapy for my first time on Thursday and learned what exactly is wrong. Two years ago I was in a car accident with my boyfriend, we were T-boned on the passenger side and i was pinned in the car by my hip. i had severe whip lash and bruised my lungs. When I got my whip lash the muscles in my lower back around my spine, and even my abs, got stretched. So during my two month recovery I was lying down not using these muscles and they shrunk. So now with me working, marching band, musical, dancing, these muscles are not prepared for the work and to protect themselves, clench up and I get my spasms.

So the therapist wants me to go twice a week and learn exercises to use to get these muscles working and to strengthen them back up. So on Thursday I had my first session and it was OMG!!! Okay, so the woman put on four patches on my lower back and hand my lie down on a REALLY thick heating pad. She turned it on and them had me pick a frequency for the patches, they then began to vibrate. The vibrations... and the heat... omy GOD i was in HEAVEN!!! I was sooooooo relaxed it was amazing!! I could have fallen asleep right there, except i had to read, sign, and fill our lots of papers.

I believe i'm REALLY gonna like physical therapy. :)

Back pain

So recently I have been having severe back pain to the point where I just sometimes wanna kill myself. It's in my lower to middle back, on the sides, and all in my hips. I have NO idea what it is or how it started, I just know it's now here and it sucks ass... So a few days ago i went to the doctor and she gave me more of my medicine i have been taking for this (600mg Tylenol, Anti-inflammatory, and muscle relaxers) and set me up my physical therapy and an X-ray today to try and see what is wrong. She said it might be from the car accident I was in almost two years ago, or it could be a herniating disk, anything really. So i'm all pissed and worried about this. Also last night my back started hurting so bad I was leaning on the side of my closet crying, but it hurt to cry and breathe. Life likes to fuck with me... hard... in the ass... it's not fun...

So anyways I didn't go to school today because it hurt too much to get out of bed and walk into the living room! I finally got myself out of bed and onto the computer chair to check emails and also to catch up on my blogging. Haha I've been sooooo busy with work, school, musical auditions and Christmas preparations i haven't thought about blogging.

So there you have it, my pitiful and pathetic blog update. Not the happiest but it's what's going on in life for me at the moment. So yeah... have a better day than i am!!

Shopping!!!

So today i was probably one of the most SMARTEST shoppers EVER!!! XD

I have a project in my Food and Culture class that requires me to plan a party. So with me wanting to go into Event Planning, i decided i wanted to plan a wedding!! I made it a winter theme since we are in December and it would be easier to find stuff suitable for a winter wedding now. So i went to Hobby Lobby (the most AMAZINGEST store ever when you wanna to DIY projects) and bought Poinsettias, Chrysanthemums, and White Roses for my flowers, I bought american moss, a square tall vase, a Styrofoam ball, and i plucked a few branches off a bush we have in the back yard. I want to make something that kind of looks like this.



Flowers would be different colors, there would be green moss int he glass, and i dont think there will be any fake snow on the branches.

I'm gonna do a lot and im mega excited about this project! This is what i wanna do with my life!! Im pumped XD So that's my quicky update.

Also we are in madrigal season and thats always funn. Im the queen this year and i wear this crazy looking outfit that makes me feel like elvis.

Thanksgiving break

So as i type this i am sitting in the den at my papa's house in Pinetops, North Carolina. It's a really tiny town that only really has an Abrams BBQ, a Dollar General, Family Dollar, and Hardes but it's nice and everyone knows everyone. I have been coming here ever since i popped out of my momma 18 years ago. The visit has been super nice, I saw my papa, Aunt Caroline, cousin Bella (who is 4 and growing up too fast), Uncle Edward, and my cousin Jamie and her new BF TJ who i like a lot. He's cool and is really sweet to my cousin. So i'm happy for her.
We had our Thanksgiving dinner on Friday because we drive down here the Thursday of thanksgiving because there is not much traffic then. And that night, when everyone else eats turkey, we have spagetti with meat sauce because we are cool like that!! XD
Our meal is the next day and i am sooo proud of myself this year!! I helped make some of the food!! I made the greenbean casserol and it was really good if i do say so myself! :)

Anywho today i am now bored outta my mind and feeling lazy. So here i sit, in green fuzzy pants, Guys and Dolls shirt, hair in a messy bun, glasses, and zero makeup! *gasp* But i'm comfy and that's all that matters!!

So i hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and didn;t eat too much turkey!! Anna out to watch Star Wars marathon! *nerd alrt*

Marching Band is over for me...

So today was the Holiday Parade in Lebanon which was the last time I will wear the uniform. I was uber sad. :( My marching days are over... It's all done, all we have left is the banquet and that's gonna get me even more sad and i'll probably cry like I did at Championships. Even thought I am sad it's all over, I now have my Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays open for other things! Like work... hahaha

Epidemic...

So I've got a HUGE decision to make on my hands right now, and it's about which college I go to. So, as you may have read in a past post, i got accepted to Lenior-Rhyne University which is where i wanna go... but my mom wants me to go to Millersville University because it is much closer and more local to home. Only issue with that is... I don't want to be close to home... I don't like PA (no offence to anyone who does) it just doesn't fit with me. I have about 2 more weeks until the early decision deadline for LR when i get first choice in a lot that will be done, classes, dorms, roommate, all that stuff. I wanted to hand in my enrollment fee in right away, but my mom wants me to wait until Millersville gets back to me, which they still haven't. Honestly, I don't care about Millersville, I want to go to LR, but i can't tell my mom i wanna go 8 hours away without her trying to keep me here. She wants me close to home so she can see me, see my performances, take me to dinner, stuff like that, but i feel more comfortable with LR's atmosphere. When i visited there, i felt sooooo happy and at peace it was amazing, Millersville was nice but did not have the same effect on me as LR did.

So I am asking for your help, do i tell my mom I am going to LR and that's it? Or do i got o Millersville to make her happy???

I AM ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!

Sooooo... I GOT ACCEPTED TO LENOIR RHYNE UNIVERSITY TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

I got home from work and saw the BIG FAT envelope on my bed from Lenoir-Rhyne and i stared at it for almost 5 minutes afraid it was gonna jump up and bite me. I finally just opened it to get it over with and it was a folder like what they send as info about the school. I was all like "Great, more shit they are sending me" I go to open the folder and out fall 2 car stickers that say Lenoir-Rhyne University, i started to breathe faster, i open the letter and read "Dear Anna, ... Congratulations!" there was stuff in-between those words but that's all i read before i started to scream and jump up and down like a lunatic!!!! I run, almost fall, down the stairs and tackle my mom screaming "I GOT ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I then go tackle my dad and storm up the stairs waking probably the whole neighborhood with my screaming. I did most defiantly wake up my brother though and he wasn't all that happy, but i didn't care cause i got ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!

So that's my AMAZING news i had to tell you before i went to bed. Gotta get that out cause Ben fell asleep before i could start my major HORAH stuff, so i HAD to get it out somehow. Anyways that be all.

I GOT ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

POWDERPUFF!!!!!!!!!!!

So today is the powderpuff game!!! I'm pumped!!! I have watched this for 3 years and now im IN IT!!!! I'm on the Pink Predators team and i must say our outfits are damn cute! :)
There's only one problem, there's supposed to be rain and thunder tonight... so there may be no game... it was already moved from the football field to the band field which is a suckish field. I would know, i have to march on it every Tuesday and Thursday. So that sucks ass.
Other than that im mega pumped!!! I'll have to take pics of my outfit to post up here. I'll do that next chance i get.
That's it for now.
FOOTBALL!!!!!!!! XD

Kevin Lyttle - Turn Me On (video) featuring Spraga Benz

This SONG turns me on!!!! XD

I haven't heard this song in years and i stumbled upon it a few days ago and it's been stuck in my head since then!!

Plain White T's - Rhythm Of Love

The last sound of summer. I loved listening to this song this summer, made me smile and feel happy. :)

Burt Bacharach - Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

Had this song stuck in my head for the past few days. And since it was raining today i see it appropriate for this post. :)

Montana Trip!!!!!!!!!!

Sooo im back from Montana!!!! Well, ive been back for a while but i just now have the time to blog about it. So we flew from Harrisburg, to Chicago, to Missoula Montana where my Aunt Bridgette, Uncle Mark, and cousins Gabriel and Michael live. It is gorgeous up in the mountains! OMG i was in awe! Everywhere around me where the Rockys, we were in a valley in the Rockys. It was beautiful! And once my camera decides to allow me to put my pics on i will put some up to show you the mountains.

Anywho what i did there. Well the first day we unpacked, visited, toured the city a bit, then went on a walk about 2 miles from their house to a river that runs through the city, one of 3 i believe. It was beautifully clear mountain water! Yes, it was cold because of glacier run off but it was really wonderful once you got in. Only problem about the mountains near water, mosquitoes... giant fuckers they were. Omg they ate you up like there was no tomorrow. My brother got over 20 bites in under 10 minutes. The first day was rather hectic and everyone was trying to get used to the new time zone, Missoula is 2 hours behind Pennsylvania.

Our second day there we traveled. There was a carnival like thing going on that was really cool, there were so many different food stands along with a live band. There was also entertainment, there was an elderly couple there who were doing this really freaky interpritive dance thing. Like, it was freaky weird but so much funn to watch. XD We then rode the Carousel for Missoula and watched a man try to swim over the rapids of a river on the other side of the carnival. After all that we walked over the bridge and began to walk around and shop.  I didn't get anything that day and we just kind of explored, we went to one store that i have fallen in love with. It's called Rockin Rudy's and it is Missoula's Spencers. Its so amazing!!! hahaha

After all that, we went to Chico Hot Springs which is a little resort 30 miles North of Yellowstone and we stayed there one night. I got to chill in natural spring water that was 107 degrees!!! It was soooooooooo amazing. :D We also went to a super fancy restaurant for my grandparents 50th and my aunt and uncle, and my parents 20th anniversary's. It was yummers, i had duck and for dessert i had a killer chocolate cake piece!!! But there was a sad thing that happened, i accidently deleted all the pics i had taken before Chico. And i had some really good pictures too!!! :'(

Anywho, then there was Yellowstone!!!! it was a long ass drive but it was amazing!!! We saw a crapton of Bison, 2 black bears, a grizzly bear with her cub, some elk, and a few deer. We stayed at the Old Faithful Inn and saw Old Faithful go off, we saw a lot of hot springs and mud pots, I saw the Yellowstone Canyon and the huge waterfall there, and the scenery was incredibly beautiful.

All in all our trip was fantastic!!! There's still a lot we did but it's little things that made it memorable. So now i am back and getting ready for my senior year in high school. I need to get my senior pics done and i have back to school shopping to do. So yeah, that's all i got right now. Tata for now!

Montana packing!!

So today is my crazy get everything ready for Montana trip day. I have to go to the bank, gotta refill my pill prescription, clean my room, pack, and a lot of other stuff. I'm excited!!! XD

SENIOR DAY and beginning of my lasts.

SO this week i had my final Band Camp ever, it was a hot humid week but i got through it well. Now to begin with my posts, every Friday is Senior Prank Day when the seniors get to deface school property to the theme of the show (The Incredibles this year) so Thursday night me and the seniors of 2012 stayed over and started working on our prank! Here are pics!!!


I did the windows, I am damn proud of my Incredible "I's" if i do say so myself. I also went window paint crazy and drew over every available window in the Band Hall. hahaha


The Band Hall itself!!! This is our Superhero obstacle course, the red were lasers and the black and yellow were toxic waste, you had to go through the hoops, through the tires, and under the net to become Incredible.




Our prank on our band directors office. We covered EVERYTHING in tin foil, put the drum majors stand in the middle of the room, and filled it with over 900 balloons!!


The Omnotron from the movie. It's a very saggy looking omnotron but it still was cool!!!


The seniors spray paint their names on the middle school hill every year. I was SOOOOOO happy to finally see my name on that field!! <3


We put the Incredibles symbol in the middle of the field and drew fake hash marks EVERYWHERE!!! lol

So that was my last band camp ever, like i said in my title this has begun the beginning of my lasts in high school. Soon it will be my last football game, my last homecoming, my last cavalcade, my last musical, my last madrigal, my last prom... It's gonna be a fun yet sad year. This is gonna be the end of a chapter of my life.

So i hope you enjoyed the pictures! FYI it was sooo much funn to deface school property!!! XD

BAND CAMP!!!

So Band Camp has started!!!! This is my last band camp EVER and that makes me uber sad. :( But i am also super excited cause i'm a SENIOR!!! Which means we get to do the SENIOR PRANK  on Friday!!! It's gonna be EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not gonna tell anyone what it is but ill take pics and put them up after this week. XD

INCREDIBLES!!!

A day with the boyfriend.

So yesterday was prolly one of the best days with Ben i have had in a while. 2 days ago we decided that on his and my day off we wanted to go to Knoebels for the day! I was gonna pack a lunch and drive, and we would just hang out there all day.

So yesterday i woke up around 7, started packing the food in my coolers and texted Ben to wake him up so he could get ready when i pick him up. I wanted to leave early to get a good parking space and to avoid traffic. Anyways, i got all ready and went over to Ben's and his laundry still wasn't done so that annoyed me a bit. So while waiting on the laundry we ate breakfast, then he got ready and we left around 8:40ish. We were gonna use my moms GPS to get there, but we messed it up going to Hess and getting gas, then Exon to go to an ATM. Then we missed our turn onto 81 and had to turn around and go back.

We finally got there around 9:50, an hour before the park actually opens. So we just walked around and talked, it was nice with the cool morning air and not very loud. We then went back to my car and got my coolers. I only forgot one thing... I didn't bring utensils. So i was walking around asking people if they had plastic forks and knives. I finally got some spoons and a knife but it worked.

After we ate we got tickets and road the sky ride for my first time, it was a nice ride with a nice view of the park. Then during the heat of the day we walked around int he stores and arcade. AND I WON SOMETHING IN THE ARCADE!!! I NEVER win anything in arcades!!

I won a Angry Birds pig and red bird! I wanted to get the yellow bird too but i didn't wanna spend too much money. I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!!

We walked around some more, ate deep fried seafood, then decided to leave cause we were both getting super tired. Ben slept on the way back and i was trying my hardest to stay awake.

We went back to Ben's house and i took his computer and we started to watch Men In Black and i went comment crazy on Erin's blog. After all that Sue (Ben's mommy) made us tuna sandwiches and then i left to go home. We never got to do our firefly catching contest. :(
But it was a great day. :)

Babysitting!!!!

So i babysat my boyfriends nephew this morning, i got up at 6:30 to be there by 7 so he had someone he knew to wake up to. Second i got there i put in my tape of Batman episodes and watched those until Brendan woke up. We made 2 eggs and he ate all of them! It was great! Then we sat down and watched some Batman, he really started to like it too. Then we woke up Ben and kept watching Batman while he showered. After Ben was done we went outside for about a half hour and played Basketball and watched the land lord work on the "tractor" (it was a back hoe)

Then when we got back into the house we put in the Batman movie and ate chicken strips, again Brendan ate amazing! He had 3 and a half full chicken strips and a box of juice. And by the time the movie was starting Max got home and i had a hour relaxing time. And that whole time Ben was sleeping on my lap. Then I went though poker lessons with max and ben, they aren't very good teachers. haha I'm slowly but surely learning.

So that is about it. Right now i am just chilling at home. So i hope your day is going well. :)

Bored outta my mind

So i am sitting here at midnight on my computer waiting for my sister to get back home before going to bed... So to pass out my boredom i am looking up engagement rings i LOVE. lol


This is a James Allen engagement ring that i LOVE!!! I really like tri stones. :)

 
I'm not really a big fan of larger stone designs but this one is super pretty! This one is from Secret Diamond.


I really like this wedding band set, it's so freakin gorgeous!! This is Kirk Kara as you can see on the band. :P


I love vintage, so this vintage ring is GORGEOUS!!! I love rings with an intricate design, it makes it more interesting to look at instead of plain diamond in the middle.


This is another vintage ring that i wouldn't like on a modern ring, but for some reason i really like this ring. :)


This is another James Allen i really love!


I normally don't like colored jewels but i am in LOVE with this one!!! I WANT IT!!! lol


I'm not really big into this kind of design on an engagement ring, but this one is really pretty. :)


I love claddagh rings! I am Irish, not a lot but I do have that Irish blood in me. And i absolutely LOVE the claddagh ring, and I have always wanted to own one. This engagement one is gorgeous and i love it!


For my last ring i decided to show one i really liked for a guy. I know guys usually like the plain, nothing fancy band, but this design is really amazing and i love it!

Well that's all I have for tonight. Until next time when i am up this late looking up wedding related stuff.

Amazing day yesterday!!!

Im back from North Carolina!!!!! It was a nice trip, was rather boring i will admit but there really isn't anything to do in Pinetops. Actually had a super scare, had to take my papa to the ER cause he was having super constipation problems but he's fine now and can poop. :P

Anyways, yesterday, omg it was sooo much funn!!!!! I hung out with Ben and his mom the whole day and we did soo much it was great! They picked me up at my house round 9ish and we went to Hamburg to pick up Memi (who is Sue's mom, Ben's grandma) and we went to Farmer's Market which is this GIANT outside store really with CHEAP STUFF!!! It's got everything from clothes, to toys, to books, to food, to cooking gadgets, anything people bring they wanna sell. It was great! We walked around for almost 2 hours and didn't even see the whole thing! I got a really pretty dress for $8, a quart of blueberries for $2, and a GORGEOUS purse that was $25. I didn't buy the purse tho, Ben gave me $5 and Sue gave me $20 to get it. So i owe them money but I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!

So after that we drove back to Ben's Memi's and dropped her off at home, then we drove back to my house so i could change into my new dress which looked AMAZING on me, and to get my swim suit because later we were gonna go to Ben's Aunt Sandy's house to go swimming! Then we went to Eagle Hotel to get lunch, that took forever cause it was busy and only one bar girl but that's okay. We went back to Ben's chilled for a little bit, then went to his Aunt Sandy's and swam for about 2 hours. It was great! I think i got a tiny bit tanner but prolly not which makes me sad. I haven't had time to tan. :(

After that we went back to Ben's and chilled there till i went home. It was just a great day. I love his family. <3 :)

Vacation!

So today I leave for North Carolina to visit my dad's side of the family. It's only for 5 days but it's gonna be nice to be back in NC, I hope to one day go back to NC and maybe live there on the beach. Specifically Emerald Isle in my grandmother's tailor. <3

So I won't be blogging for the next 5 days. Not that anyone cares cause no one reads this shit anyways.

FIRST DAY OF SUMMER!!!!

Whoo hoo!! It's summa time!! I got to sleep in this morning and i feel AMAZINGS! But now school is over i don't have much to do... I don't know what my summer work schedule will be but i know i wont have that many hours since they cannot be given to me. But oh well, at least ill be working a bit. :)

Being passed by cop cars on highways

Heyas! How's my blogger buddies??? You good?? Good. :)

Anyways, i went to visit Ben's Nana in Shartlesville yesterday and it was loads of fun. We ate yummy steaks Ben grilled, we watched Mythbusters, World's Dumbest Criminals and laughed at the stupid people in this world, and Ghost Hunters and laughed at the cheesiness of the show. And driving home on highways 78 i was goign like... 68 at a 65 mile and hour zone, and on the left a cop car goes zooming by at at least 75! It was ridiculous! But it made my night. :P

College Visits a sucess!

Well, I am back from my NC college visit! And it went really well! I went to Elon Universities spring open house on April 9th and saw Lenoir-Rhyne University today for a private tour. I have both good and bad things about each school and i have a LOT to think about. I just hope i make the right decision about this. :)

College Visits!

Yes that's right! I have 2 colleges i am visiting next month! Elon University on April 9th for their Spring Open House, and Lenior-Rhyne University on April 11th for a personal tour! I would be going for Musica Education as my major and Theatre Arts as minor. If you haven't guessed already i wanna be a music teacher and direct musicals and whatnot like Mrs Masser does. I REALLY like Elon, they have a beautiful campus, and a marching band, a really good looking music department, a lot of oportinuties! But they are very hard with who enters, gotta have an average 3.5-4.0 GPA, and between 1700-1900 on SATs. It's insane! Lenior-Rhyne also looks really nice. They have a really pretty campus and its in the town i was born. My parents used to take me on walks on the campus when i was a baby. My Unlce Andy tells me that their music department is WAYYYYY better than Elons but i will find that out for myself. They don't have a marching band but they have an acapella choir that tours the world and they are amazing! I also like gardner-Wedd University but i cannot make any of their Dawg Days which are open houses really, so i may just visit them in the summer.
I'm hoping i get into at least one of them, I'm scared i may not get accepted and i'll not go to college. Becuase for any music department you need to audition... *gulp*

On other news i had work today 2-5. It was a nice steady day, was working salad bar and pasta so i was stocking up salad stuff and cooking pasta and sauce. I also helped pizza line a bit by making skids and putting together pizzas at times. I work again tomorrow 5-9 which means i can take leftover pizza home with me! :)

I went to a concert last night to see Framing Hanley and Sick Puppies at the Cameleon club! IT WAS AWSOME!!!! I still can't completly hear right! I got a Framing Hanley tee with it signed by NIXON and a Sick Puppies tee that they ALL signed! I'm such a happy girl!

Masser's interesting stories.

I had so many things to say about today which i totally forget of course... If i remember ill say something. But in chamber choir my teacher Mrs Masser was telling us interesting stories about her trip to New Orleans. There are scary people there apperantly... haha

Dude im soo pissed i forgot all i wanted to say...

Musical's over!!! :'(

Well, today was the last show. I almost cried, knowing i have only one more year for musical. :'(

Well, i haven't heard anything from ben for over a day now. Rather sad nows, but i has me friend Beckie over and we is watching True Blood. First time i've ever seen it so this will be interesting.

Nothing else to say. ttyl

My first performance!!

Well, just finished with my first performance today and OMG IT WAS AMAZING!!!! The whole thing went perfectly! I was spot on with my lines and i actually sounded good when i was singing I'll Never Be Jealous Again! Remembered the words, was on pitch, words were clear so people could understand what i was saying, needless to say i felt AMAZINGAL after that song and dance. The whole night was sooooo much fun and my family was there along with Ben's mom and nana, it was great having so many people i know go to see me. I'm still super pumped with energy from the whole thing!!! :D

But with all this good stuff there is also a bad thing, just that i have NO contact with ben what so ever. He is in the Blue Ridge Mountains with his friends from college for the weekend and he has no cell phone service. I think it's totally awsome he's going out and doing things instead of sitting on his ass all day on video games.(sorry baby if you are reading this) But i've never gone not talking to me for one day let along a whole weekend. But i guess if there was any weekend to not talk to him at all the best is this one. I'm gonna be super busy tomorrow with 2 shows for musical, one in afternoon at 1:00 and then a 7:30 show so i will have no time for texting. And then Sunday i will be sleeping in and i have my orientation at 2:00 and that will be a good 2 hours or so. So yeah, this is the best weekend for that, doesn't mean i'm still sad i can't talk to him at all. :'(

I don't really have anything else to say, the exhaustion has started to kick in so my computer screen is getting blury and my eyes are going out of focus so i think i'm gonna go. Night everyone!!

First night of performances!!!

Yup! It has begun! It is the opening night of The Pajama game tonight!!! I'm super excited! Although it's not my cast tonight but it don't matter, i still get to be in Once A Year Day which is an AWSOME musical number! As for the rest of the time, i'm going to be backstage working on 3 essays i need to write for english... *puts gun to head and pulls trigger* :P

Watching wedding movies and eating donuts

Ahhhh wedding movies how i love them so. Just a warning i am SUCH a hopeless romantic and when i watch wedding shows/movies it gets worse. I mean i go overboard with mushyness and romanticness. And since no one can tell me otherwise imma go overboard with mushyness and craziness! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!

So im watching Bride Wars now (amazing move!) and of course its got me thinking about when i wanna get married. Now one of my oldest and amazingest friends is engaged and is planning her wedding right now and i is super jealous of her! I wanna be getting married nows! AJGYRGBSGDHJK!!! < Crazy banging on my keys
*composes self* Okay, sorry. I just can't wait until the day i get married, i've been dreaming about it ever since i was a little girl. I'm so excited for her and so happy for her! :) She's one of me bestest friends and i've known her since she moved here in 4th grade, i think it was 4th grade... haha And i hope she and her fiance have an amazingal life together and all the planning goes well. :)

Well yeah since im in a crazy romantic mood imma go crazy and talk talk TALK!!! :P Well of course when you think about getting married theres the actually proposal you need to think about, and let me tell you i gots ideas about how i wanna be proposed to, every girl dreams about how they wanna be proposed to and what their wedding will be like. Even though they can't really take control on how they get proposed to since its the guy who does that but they have control on how their wedding goes. Cause the bride's always right!!! hahaha

But anyways, what was i saying... oh yeah! Proposals. To all my girlies out there, how would you wanna get proposed to?? I'm now suddenly crazy curious on how you guys think it should happen? I think it should be really sweet and romantic, like i've always dreamed of getting proposed to on a beach. I don't know why but i just always have. I don't really wanna be proposed to in a public place, i don't like the idea of people watching and the pressure that would be there. As for the whole beach thing, i don't know but i've always loved the beach and had some sort of connection with it. I know i'm weird. lol :p

Aww man there is so much more i wanna say but i think i am going to stop. I'm tired and need to go to bed soon. I've been crazy sleep deprived and with it being musical week i'm gonna be up late and then i have PSSAs next week and i start work. Man i'm a busy person. haha

Well this is mushy romantic Anna signing off!!

Last musical practice for The Pajama Game!!!

Holas my fellow peoples reading this! Well today was not really a very good start off to my day, i barely slept last night for reasons i won't say and didn't get to bed till about 3ish.

Musical practice, musical practice. Oh where do i begin... I guess at the beginning, that's always a good place to start. Well my cast had one last practice since our showing isn't until Friday night and this one was prolly my most memorble one yet! To start things off Ian raped my face with his scratchy head! Yeah, he shaved the top of his head for his part, Hines, and the hair is already starting to grow back so he came up to me, Lauren and one other girl and rubed the top of his head on our cheeks! Since the hair was growing back it itched and made our cheeks red! So that made me smile, then poor Masser got attacked with coffee. Every practice someone gets her coffee and today it was taylor, and from what i got (I was backstage at this time) Taylor threw the coffee at Masser and she spilled it all over her and the carpet in the aisle! So shes freaking out, Taylor is appologizing, and since we have so many shirts handy Masser grabbed a Guys and Dolls shirt and a South Pacific shirt and patted them on the coffee. So now we have a brown coffee smelling Guys and Dolls shirt and a South Pacific shirt that also smells like coffee. haha

During the actual rehersal we just BSed our way through the whole thing. We skipped all the songs and messed around during the scenes. Charlito gave Lucas a lap dance, Bruce yelled in Logan's face making her run off almost crying, Lucas swears Bruce broke his hand, Katie and Chelsea were jumping on each other doing lord knows what, Louis was taking his pants off almost every 5 minutes during the pants falling down scene (yes there is a scene were Hines takes his pants off and stands awkwardly in his underwear), I got to watch as Louis stabed Lucas with a marker and one of the fake knives we have, there was a glow in the dark tape ball being thrown around, and of course we jumped all around being complete morons.

Ahhh musical, i will miss you when this week is out. But then there's always next year!!! :D

I've given in

Yes, i am making a blog. Hey i decided it gives me something to do. Not that anyone would read this crap but hey, gives me something to imagine. That someone out there would read this and i would be a muchos happy person! :)

Well guess i should tell ya'll a bit about myself. My name is Anna Harris, i am 17 years old and i am a junior in high school. I am in the musical The Pajama Game and am the character Mabel, that is where i got my pic. Its the pics that get taken and put in the show case at my school so everyone knows who is who. haha
I am in Marching Band, Jazz Band, Jr/Sr Class Play and i am currently working at Infinitos in Lebanon! Well, im not working yet, i was hired but i need to wait for Musical to finish. My orientation is on Sunday March 13th so after that i start working! It's my first job so i am super mega excited. :)

I have a super awsome, amazingal, sweet, lovable, BEST boyfriend in the world! We have been dating for a year and a half now (yeah i know. a long time) and i am sooooo much in love with him! He is currently going to college in North Carolina and i miss him soooooooo much! I won't get to see him again until May 20th at the earliest and that makes me sad. :'( But life goes on. I talk to him every day and i hope to get a webcam so i can chat with him and see him. :)

Well that seems to be about it that i can say right now... can' t think of anything else. So imma go, i hope someone is reading this... :p
