What a weird day. My first day back at school after Spring Break. Cinderella stuff is really really coming along. My list of things to do is 1) Measure, 2) NIU stuff, 3) Audition form, 4) Church, 5) Ryan. I already e-mail Ryan and I made the audition form. I'm getting the phone numbers for Central and the church as we speak. And I've already kinda talked to Roni about the paint issues. WOO HOO!
This Friday, I'm meeting Kristen at 1:30 for a meeting where we have to talk about set design, ideas for Roni, blocking, costume plot, prop plot, and program ideas. Then we have to ready by 4:00 to go to Engle Lane with Houk to look thru some of the costumes. Then at like 7:00 or something is the Finest of the Fine Arts!
I printed out the newest updated schedule, the audition form, all the audition scenes, audition poster, car wash poster, and actor-scene breakdown. WHOO!
I fixed the situation with my German class. Now I just have to figure it out with my Education class. Art can piss off. So I'm not too scared about my apartment now. Or Disney.
I'm gonna stop typing and eat. As I was shopping for groceries, I wasn't even paying too much attention to prices. I got a little more than i usually get. I went to the self check out, and paid with my card. I didn't even look to see how much I spent. When I got home I saw the receipt and looked at it thinking it would be well over my usual $25. It was $17. I'm amazing. Bye, everybody.

Date: 3/10/04 (Mario day. Or something. Mar.10)
Time: 11:36 PM
Temp: 45°, feels like 37°
Eyes: Hot or Not, the funniest website that doesn't mean to be
Ears: Nothing.
Heart: I'm doin alright. A little bummed about Disney, read on for more.
Mind: Job applications tomorrow. Like Amoco. Anything.
Immediate Quote: Time is like a streched out elastic band, you cant let it go because it could smack your eye out. (Jackie, who are you)
It's been a while since I wrote anything here. I've been doing a lot and nothing. I've been in Ottawa since Friday night cuz this is my spring break. Prett tame. I dropped Roni off at the airport and when I went to leave, my car was dead. I tried to start it a couple times but nothing happened. So I kept calling my parents and there was no answer so I left a message and waited. After an hour and a half I finally got it to start and drove home. I owed $6 for parking but I only had 5. So they let me slide cuz of the car trouble.
Saturday and Sunday I did nothing really. I rented some movies and sat around. I watched Capturing the Friedmans which was kinda weird. There's a lot of family fighting in that one. They are so mean to the mom but I'm mad that she didn't stick with her family. Especially Jesse. Then I watched A View From the Top. I actually really liked it, but there aren't really any movies I don't like. It was way better than I thought it would be. It was like a positive movie that wasn't a laugh-out-loud comedy and I liked that about it. Then I watched Amelie which is always a good one. Then I watched the Wizard of Oz which I forgot to return and I still have it and it was due back on Monday. Tomorrow I will. And I'll owe those bastards again.
Monday I drove up to College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn to attend the college program presentation. To interview for a semester with Disney, you have to sit thru their presentation. Then at a big school like that, they interview you the next day. So I went up there and they actually let me interview that night. Kelly interviewed me and I really like her. And I think she loved me and was really impressed. Then I had to go back the next day for the character auditions which is why I had to go to CoD in the first place. They are the only site around here that does the auditions for characters. So I got there and they measured me and we learned the dance then we got called in 4 at a time and danced then sat in the hall til they called us out again. They took me, 2 girls my height, and a tall guy into a room. Kelly did. And she told me and the 2 girls that we did really awesome and we were perfect for the roles but they couldn't fit us into a place with what height we were. So I figured there was just something lacking in my audition but then she told the tall guy that they were in fact casting for his height but he just wasn't good! So it turns out I really did do well. I talked to Kelly afterwards and she said that the audition is good for 6 months so keep checking back with them for availability because they have me on file as passing the audition. If nothing comes up by September, I have to re-audition. So I'm pretty sad about all that, but they told me they'd give me an operations role, which is what I had last time. So I'll have my new role plus I'll stay certified at Pirates. YAY! I'm hoping either to stay in Adventureland / Liberty Square, or work at Carousel of Progress. So, that's the story about that.
The sub-plot of that story is school. Disney won't let you do a semester of the college program unless your school says you're in good academic standing with them. Which means I have to get serious about school to at least get a C average in my classes. Which I think will mean dropping art, doing the very best I can in german, and getting by in education. I'm gonna e-mail my german teacher tomorrow and ask if I can get a good grade in there. In ed, I'm just gonna start showing up again out of no where and do the rest of the semester like I've been there. LOL. I hope that's okay with the teacher.
Other than that, nothing is going on in my life. I haven't seen any friends my whole break yet. I think Roni is my only friend around here. Josh is my real friend too but he's far away and we usually hang out through Roni. I would feel very lonely if I didn't have Jed to talk to online all the time. But again, he doesn't live near here. It's weird, in high school you have like a bazillion friends and then you get a little older and you have like 3 or 4 at the most.
Cinderella is coming along nicely. Houk came over and we talked a lot about it. I just threw out to him every concern we've had and he reassured me that it will all be okay. He's having me do this thing where I list every person in every scene or something. He showed me his version of it for Evita but I think there's parts he didn't show me. Like, he only showed me the final product. And he left some fundraiser stuff, and a list of what we need to do. Tomorrow I have to measure the height of the stage and get working on that scene thing. I think I'll go now. I hope I see Kristeny soon.

Date: 3/4/04
Time: 2:55 PM
Temp: 41°, feels like 33°
Eyes: Doombuggies message board
Ears: Lots of people chewing gum
Heart: Glad this week is almost over
Mind: Same as yesterday
Immediate Quote:
This will probably be a pretty short post since nothing is going on. Tomorrow Roni's going to California for Spring Break. And I'm going no where. I'll be in Ottawa. Looking for jobs still. There was this guy in my theater class who always used to stare at me and right now he's sitting across from me in the computer lab and I can literally feel his eyes on me. I almost want to look back and see if he looks away but I don't think he will, so I'll just keep going like he's not there.
I so hope that Michael Eisner steps down as CEO. Yesterday they already kicked him out of his Chairman position. I'm just glad that people aren't afraid to say YOU SUCK to him. Roy E Disney is like totally spearheading this whole thing to get him out of there. SaveDisney.com check it out. I don't feel like telling the whole story. I'm just glad something is happening.
Other than those things, not much is going on. I'm trying to figure out a way to afford a short trip to Disneyland this May. But I just can't imagine ever having enough money for that. It would be so awesome though. I want to see DL so bad and Jed said I can stay with him which would be SO MUCH FUN!
I added a thing that you can put comments now I guess. I mean, I tried to at least. Enjoy that.
Well, I can't keep my mind on this blog. I keep going to other windows. This is the end now.

Date: 3/3/04 (for some reason I almost typed 3/3/98)
Time: 4:53 PM
Temp: 48º, feels like 46°
Eyes: Instant message windows and Disney websites
Ears: Just took my headphones off
Heart: Content
Mind: Grades? Job? Money? Disney?
Immediate Quote: Mansion999: like, what if my name was Jed Burnt-Sienna
I'm typing. I'm typing. I'm typing. I still don't really have much to say. This is my last week before Spring Break which means absolutely nothing. The only thing I'm doing this SB is my Disney Interview and Character Audition which I sort of feel is a waste of time because if I don't get good grades, I can't go anyway. Whatever. I'll talk to my teachers and see if it's possible.
I don't really enjoy my current life... it feels super temporary. Like I just have to wait for this part to get over so I can go on to the next actual part. It's like a commercial or something. Things are still going on but it's not the main thing, nor is it what I want to be going on. That is a very awkward sentence.
Last night we saw Second City and it was SO funny. The funniest was the guy leaving his house and the lady goes "Aren't you forgetting something?" and he goes back and kisses her on the cheek, then goes to leave again and she goes "You call that a kiss?" so he goes back and kisses her on the lips. He tries to leave again but she reminds him he's forgetting his lunch and he'll have to work for it. So they start makin' out hard, really goin at it, and he grabs his lunch from her, walks away, turns to her and says "Thanks mom!"
I'm done typing for now. I'll be back of something happens.

Date: Literally 3/2/04
Time: 2:24 AM
Temp: 45°, feels like 38°
Eyes: Jed's message window
Ears: The roof moving a little in the great wind
Heart: Relaxed
Mind: Gotta get up early to do the job stuff
Immediate Quote: Mansion999: wait till you see our Pan, with the starry skies
I don't really have anything to say but I actually feel bad having neglected to write in a day or two. But seriously I've got nothing to say. Lord of the Rings won too many things at the Oscars. It made me decide I don't care who wins the Oscars anymore because it's all politics and winning an Academy Award means nothing other than you're popular.
I have once again run out of things to play on the piano. I've played every song I've ever heard in my life. And it's all gotten old.
Jamal and I are talking again and it's not weird between us. We hung out tonight and just talked like we were friends.
I'm off to bed now because I have a thousand job apps to turn in tomorrow and I don't want to look like welfare when I do it. So I'm gonna get sleep and wake up at 10 or 11.
