Hey everyone!
Well, I definatly have to say my life is going pretty well right now. This month in general has been fantastic. I've been in a constant great mood, I'm getting to know more wonderful people and starting to really enjoy Jupiter.
But these last two days have been absolutely amazing! Yesterday was my first real performance of the year. This weekend we did this thing called a Variety Show. It's where the chorus and some solo people do a nifty variety of older pop songs (i.e. Because you loved me, I get around, La Isla Bonita, Lean on me, etc) and then solos do their own shit and whatever. Anyways, everyday afterschool this week we've had rehersal until around 6 and we'd sometimes walk to wendys before or whatever and that was really fun. But last night and tonight were the performances. They were AMAZING! And this is how they went:
Yesterday I took the bus home from school for the first time all week and then went with Stephanie to see her boyfriend by the middle school. Afterwards, I went home, went to go get my character shoes which were too small but it was the largest size they made (I had already special ordered a friggin size 12 which is what they sent) and apparently the shoes run small or whatever so I was DYING in those shoes. My left foot bled last night and then both my feet tonight. Then, I went to try and get the stupid shoes stretched (by the way, vinyl does NOT stretch) which didnt really work. Then drove through mcdonalds, got ready really quick and got to my school at 6:20-ish (I was suppost to get there at 6).
When I got there, Jessica did some of my stage make-up and then I did the rest. When the show was supost to start we went inside and got more ready. We waited around until it was time for us to go on and then did our first song. It was alright but not perfect. I spotted Ryan and some other cool people out in the audience!! That was cool that some people i knew came to see the show.
Then I had about a half hour before goign back on to do some other songs so I called Leah and Brooke and talked to them. We also did some of the guys make-up for when they had to dress up like chicks for "I Get Around" by the Beach Boys. Funny stuff!! Once it was our turn to go out, we did pretty well. I messed up a little bit but whatever. I dont think too many people noticed. haha. Then we ran to the other end of the auditorium to do the next song (which is kind of in the audience) and i was behind everyone and i had to be in the front so i ran really fast in the character shoes and ran too far and then since the shoes are soo slippery on that carpet, when i tried to stop, I fell flat on my ass right when the lights had turned on! omfg it was soooo funny!!! I was laughing through the whole song.
After we sang that song, we sat in the aurdience for the rest of the show until the last song (Because you loved me) and then I went and said hi to a bunch of people and then went home.
Today, I woke up kinda late and then went and got a bagel then around 2ish, went to see National Treasure (which is really good), then came home and got ready for the second show.
I got there late again because I had to stop and get a camera. Then i got there and blah blah blah.. Same as the night before but more funner, did more guys make-up, took pictures this time, and then went on to do the other songs. On my way out to do the same song I fell in yesterday, I was carefully walking down the stairs and I heard someone in the dark whisper to me "Janina!" in the audience. I turned to look to see who it was yelling "What! Hi!!" but i couldnt see who it was. Then when I was singing, I figured out it was Ryan who had come in right after intermission. But when he whispered my name or whatever, I fell on the stairs, but grabbed the railing so i didnt fall all the way! Haha. Then we sang the song and then I went and sat with Ryan for the rest of the show till I sang the last song.
After the show, I went and got changed into some semi-normal clothes and then came out in the hall and was greeted by Ryan and a rose w/baby's breath mixed in it!! I felt so special cause that was the first time a friend or anyone that wasnt my parents had ever given me flowers after a performance. So, thank you again Ryan for the rose -- it really meant a lot Afterwards, I left and went out to dinner with my parents and some family friends to Quarterdeck. It was fun.
And now I'm here. Totally wiped out and content. All is well. And I have flowers not from my rents! And they're special cause they're from my Sissy Girl!! Haha. Have a good rest of the weekend everyone!! xoxoxoxo mwah!!
