Adventures in Anatevka (Part Two)

So, it's been what, two weeks since I last updated?

I think so.

Anyway, Fiddler is going really, really well! We just finished our second run through of the show... as of yesterday. I'm loving this so much. Like, it's such a really great experience, and it's been so great for me, feelings-wise because I leave rehearsal every day feeling so amazing, which isn't something I've really been feeling lately. Like, I've been feeling great otherwise, but there's just something about theatre that makes me so happy.

I love it so much that I'm going to minor in acting when I go to college in the fall. Theatre and English are my true loves, so yeah.

I'm so sorry I've resorted to horrible writing. It's just all of these thoughts need to come out and here they are.

Anyway, Fiddler.

Fiddler is just a super amazing experience and I would not trade it for anything in the world.

Adventures In Anatevka (Part One)

All right, ladies and gents, it's time for me to finally let you all know what's going on in my life. I'm playing Chava in my school's production of Fiddler on the Roof. It's a super-challenging role, and I'm way excited about it.

**Side note, I'm listening to Sabbath Prayer right now, and Tevye and Golde ask for their daughters to be protected from the strangers' ways. Yeah, Chava does not follow that well.

Anyway, things are pretty great in my world of things. I've decided to update at least once a week through the Fiddler process because I want to be able to keep this with me forever, and what better way to do that than on the interwebs?

So, we've just started our second week of rehearsal, which means that we're almost finished with our first run-through of the show. Today we did the scene where Chava tries really hard convince her papa to let her marry Fyedka, which as you all know, totally doesn't work.

Poor Chava.

But this is kind of the best thing that's ever happened to me. I'm enjoying this so much.

That's all for right now!
Peace out!

Super-Cute Poem

So, today I wrote a poem. My cute little sister found it and was teasing me about it. She was all, "You were writing a thing about the boy you like." I laughed because, yes, it is about my crush. Go figure. It's super-cute and now I will share it with you, dear interwebs. Here goes.

Super-Cute Poem

What I want
Is to explore you.
Not in the way
Most people think.

But moment
By moment,
To know what makes you
Happy
Sad
Angry
Giddy
You.

I want to know
How you think,
What your favorite color is,
And if you prefer
Dusk to dawn.

But most of all,
I want to know why.
Why you picked me 
of all people.

What I want
Is to explore you.
Not in the way
Most people think.

Hold your snapping, please. Seriously. It scares me. For cereal. That's not a joke. I really am terrified of snapping. You may applaud, though, however inappropriate that may be. I'll allow it.

That's it, lovelies!

Peace out!

Crushes

All right, folks. Time to strap in before we go for a ride on the Marley's Emotional roller coaster.

Things that are happening: I have a crush.

Other things that are happening: Crush likes me back

Let me tell you, I've had a very adventurous few days with this whole crush thing. First, one of my good friends guessed and got hung up on someone because the person I have a crush on and this other person have the (sort of) same-colored hair. I literally had to spell it out for my friend. That was rather amusing (I love you, Julie!).

Then... another one of my good friends decided to guess as well, and that got a little wild because said person continued to ask if it was them, then ask for their prize. They got a lot of gold stars, don't worry. And they also got quite a few laughs out of me, and decided that I could kill them easily, which I find hard to believe. Ah, well.

And then, this morning... crush texted me and asked if I had stayed up until three, but really it was two, but 

who cares? Anyway, crush begins to ask me if I had stayed up talking to said people about things involving crushes. Great. Well, I tried really hard to be awesome and totally coy and blah blah blah, and then... you've probably guessed.

CRUSH STARTS GUESSING WHO MY CRUSH IS.

So, that went on, and then crush let on that they were deliberately being thick because they knew. They knew the moment I started being super vague in my answers. So, there's that. Well, it turns out that crush also likes me back,which is a huge first for me. Through all of my years of crushes, my crushes have never liked me back. I am so happy. You guys have no idea.

However, I have no idea if this means anything. I don't know if I would rather stay in mutual like or make something of it. Also, crush is a junior and I am a senior, so there's that. 

Hopefully things will just go as the universe would like them to go. I may end up with a significant other, I might not. We'll see.

I know my friends are betting on it...

Peace out, lovelies!
