Two Years Old

On the 4th I turned 16 and this blog turned 2!!!! I'm hopefully going to post more in the next few months with the holidays and all, but sorry for the lack of posts this past year!

Another Random Theater Post

It's a really stupid idea to want to be an actress.

But I'm going for it anyway.

No, I might not make it. I might end up working at Walmart instead. But if I get one role on Broadway, or Off Broadway, or really any big theater, it will be worth it.

I love theater more than anything else I do. The feeling of being on the stage is something that is totally different than anything else I've ever experienced, and it's amazing.

Theater can change someone's life, even if they aren't on the stage themselves. Someone might be sitting in that audience at the beginning of the play with a heavy heart and not knowing what to do in their lives, but by the end of the play they can let go of whatever is in their mind weighting them down.

If I can change one persons life by a role, it's worth all the pain and the work, because I think that's what theater is supposed to do. It's supposed to help people.

So yeah, it's a stupid, stupid idea. But I don't really care.

Today I was “helping” my youngest sister do her math. She's learning division, something I obviously learned years ago. As I was “helping” she turned to me and said “The numbers are getting smaller and smaller every time!”

“ Well yeah, that's what division does.” I said.

I didn't think anything about it, to me it was just division, something that I didn't really like and it was just another chore. For her it was something new, something exciting.

How would life be if we were able to find little things like that exciting again?

Sure, I find things exciting. And sometimes I feel like I find some things a little to exciting. Like a new eye shadow pallet, or a cast list with a small part, or a new Broadway soundtrack on my phone. But excitement is a good thing, not a bad thing. Some people try to push down excitement, everything has to be nothing. What if we were all able to find everything that should be at least a little exciting? I'm not talking about overwhelming excitement when you're eating your favorite food, but at least thinking about how nice it is, instead of just thinking it as another meal.

I'm going to be sweet sixteen this year, and I have about a million plans for a party. I still have 2 ½ months until my birthday. That's almost a fourth of a year. Does that mean I shouldn't be excited and planning?

Of course not. I'm not hurting anyone or anything, including myself. So why shouldn't I be excited? No reason.

So my challenge for you all today is to try and be excited about at least one small thing this week. At least try.

So I was looking back at my old posts, and I realized that I haven't blogged in over a month, almost two months, and I have blogged less than 30 times this entire month. I haven't been able to think of anything to post! Any ideas? Comment below!

Two Years ago

Me at 13

Me Now

 

Two years ago I was 13. Now I'm 15. 15, 13, not that big of a difference right? Wrong. I've changed  a ton in the last two years. etc.

Me Two Years Ago:
" I cant listen to things like Lana Del Ray and Panic! At The Disco! Those artists are horrible. They're sooo not ok! Better stick to Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift."

Me Today:
" THE DEATH OF A BAAAAACHELOR"
" CAUSE YOU AND I, WE WERE BORN TO DIIIIIIE!"
" I don't listen to much country actually.

Me Two Years Ago:
" I will never, ever wear shorts and my hair will stay long and down all the time."

Me Today:
" I'm not going to wear anything but shorts for the rest of the summer, and I think my hair wants cutting."

Me Two Years Ago:
" I really hope my friends don't get a boyfriend or, *shudder* I get one for years and years! And when I do I'll be the kindest person ever to him!"

Me Today:
" Yes!!! She's finally taking to him! I sure hope he asks her out. That would be awesome. Oh there goes my crush! I'll go insult him, that will make it all work out. "

Me Two Years Ago:
" I need to be in movies and be the next Jennifer Lawrence."

Me Today:
I need to be on Broadway and be the next Phillipa Soo."

Me Two Years Ago:
" I know nothing about pop culture. I mean, I'm not even keeping up on Selena Gomez and Justin Beiber. That show's you how little I care. "

Me Today:
" I honestly have no idea how I know who the current bachelorette is. But I do! Along with everything the Kardashian's are doing, and why Zayn has broken up with Gigi Hadid. Still don't care, but I know it all.'


If you actually read all through me talking about myself, I would love if you would do a post/send me a post to put on my blog about how you've changed in two years!

Ya'll should check this out!

Goodbye Black Box Theater

     I've been acting at the Black Box Theater for almost two years now, 2/3 of the time it's been open, and it's been the best theater I've ever preformed at. The people are great, the director is great, and even though it's a small theater, it's a community. The people that come there have been to many many shows there and know the actors. I've seen people many times, talked to them, gotten to know them. All without knowing their names. But the theater closed on the last day of May.
     I'm going to really miss it. I mean, I'll still get to see the people I've preformed there with, I'm not letting go of them anytime soon! But the theater itself, it has a feeing to it. It's MY theater and my home. But not anymore.
     When I first walked in I was scared to death. I hadn't met any of my other cast members before, but most of them were old friends. I just sat in a corner, thinking that it was going to be awful, that I could never get to know these people. The girl who I was paired up with for a skit who complained about her brother the whole time we were playing. Her brother who copied everything me and his sister did for every game the whole day. The guy who awkwardly stared at me as I searched the whole theater for scissors. The huge guy that I thought hated me. The girl next year that was so much different than I was who I thought would never speak to me. The stage manager who was a sweetheart, but again, so much different than I was.
     All these people that I thought could never care about me, would never even remember me once I was gone? I now call them some of my greatest friends.
     And the people that worked at the theater... I can't begin to explain how wonderful it is to walk into a place you love, just to be greeted right away buy the people behind the counter, and then the guy in the tech booth. Then the play starts and you know everyone on the stage.
     I have felt more at home in this place in the last two years than I have at any other place ever. I'm going to really miss it.
