Hey Old Friends...

We're done school.
And this it the first post that I have posted since we finished. I still can't believe that we're done - it really doesn't feel like it. Does anyone agree? I mean, it feels like we're still going to go through those crazy 14 hour long days and boring English classes (which I passed, thank God). But then I realized that we're done 14 hour days for the next 4 months, and that in fact, WE ARE SECOND YEARS, and we're going to have our very own firsties, and we get the huge dance studio......but not for another 4 months. That is also a little difficult to believe - the fact that we won't be in the green-house for, well, pretty much a whole semester. We're going to be missing out on people for a whole semester, so EMAILS and PHONE CALLS and actually getting together over the summer, not just saying that we're going to and then never seeing each other. But this group will hang out, I know we will. We're pretty attached, wouldn't you say? I mean we have gone through a FEW things together and we've KIND OF grown close and SEMI-inseperable. I mean, hell, we've been done school for less than a week and already we're hung out 3 times and are planning many more get togethers. It's awesome. We're going to get really sick of each other, but it's alright. If we haven't killed each other yet, then I think we're in the clear.
End of the year BBQ was such an awesome idea and such a great success. It was too much fun. Good food, great people, games and lying in the sun. Sun burns (Jay Jay) and then water fights. I loved it. We must all do that again soon...maybe when everyone gets back from going to their respective homes we can have a welcome back BBQ. Awesome idea, 'Ceto. Do it.
Passover (not PUSH over) is still upon us Jews. It's my favorite Jewish holiday, I must say. The angel of death is still passing over and I'm waiting for the results of his speed test. Watch out for the aliens and the Rabbi at the end of the rainbow. Don't ask.
Lazer tag ROCKED. Code name: Jesus. Yep, how could I resist? I did alright, 9 in the first game, 8 in the second. It was crazy fun. Then good food at Hooters, as well as some pretty crazy conversation. (Note the paragraph above).
Yesterday was filled with crazy driving, finding our way to the Hoja concert in Belvedere, then to Whyte Ave. then to Cole and Blake's, then to the mall. We were late, because I always am. But that's another story, which I won't get into.
Good days off so far, and I start Intro to Sociology on Monday. I'm really glad that I'll have it done for the first semester.
Dee's leaving tomorrow. Can't actually believe it. It's pretty weird that everyone is actually going home, especially this soon. Well I think that tomorrow is soon...too soon, if you ask me.

Drink water during Passover.
Matza is bad for the system.
Hopefully my people knew that in the desert.
They were wandering for 40 years.
You wouldn't want to look for a bathroom for that long.
No flour, corn, yeast, or rice.
But water.
Water indeed.
Just in case you were curious.

These Shoes Were Made To Kill Us

Holy crap.
Let me just say that. Holy crap. Character shoes SUCK. I can speak for every single girl in the Ragtime cast when I say that the shoes KILL our feet and stink like all hell. Yep, just what a guy always wanted...16 in-pain-stinky-footed girls running around the theatre lab. Well boys, you got it. No wonder so many actors are gay, huh?
Honestly though, I'm sitting here and my feet have been absolutely killing me for I don't even know how long, and it's only going to get worse. Rehearsal tomorrow from 12 until probably something like 6:00, then dinner and then a show at 8:00. Then 2 shows on Sunday. Pain. PAIN.
Today I was so exhausted...I think that the days are finally catching up with me. I couldn't focus at all this morning. But these days are also so much fun. I can't believe that summer is almost here and so many people will be leaving. You should all stay. Yep, all stay. That's what I think anyways.

That's it for this blogger.

Give the people a day of peace.
The people are us.
The cast of Ragtime.
And the first year students.
Our feet hurt.
We're exhausted.
We're stressed out.
But we're having the best time that we could imagine.
Too much fun to go around.
Just in case you were curious.

Paaartaaayy

Birthday party at Suite 69 was the BEST time, especially because I got a Skip-It before we went out. There were some problems with people getting in, a Stag party when we first got there, the Strat, cheap beer, then dancing (and drinking) the night away with my favorite people. It was a killer night and we all had a blast. I had a tiara and I talked to Bruce (yes, Cable) on the phone for a little while when I was a little bit tipsy. The dancing was so much fun, we have to do it again. Thank you for ALL of those drinks, Pauely.

Read my huge birthday blog.
I just wrote it tonight.
But tonight's not my birthday.
Way to miss it, bih-chuzz.
I'm a year cooler.

And The Times, They Are A-Changin'

Well, I sure as heck did post right after my birthday...a very long post at that...and then the system crashed and my post was gone with the wind. So, I'm going to summarize my birthday as best I can, so as to not have to write a huge blog again.
April 7th, 2005...Jew is 19.
Morning: approx. time - 8:16am
Location: my bedroom
I wake up, late as per usual, and immediately start my morning routine with the nice teeth brushing action. So, I am doing so, minding my own business, looking horrible because I had just woken up, and I went into my room. There was a huge butterfly balloon and a tray of food in my once empty and dark room. As I stand there looking and thinking "aw my dad is so sweet", who pops out from behind my bed but Daneel and Leah?! I couldn't move! They both say that the expression on my face was priceless, and I bet it was...I was just staring and I made no noise whatsoever. So here are these two gorgeous girls, and here I am staring back at them in Dee's Redman shirt and our A&F pajama pants with my hair all poofy. Best way to start a birthday ever. So we got ready, and after deciding that I looked like the winter Nazi on such a beautiful day, I changed into more summery clothes. Leah went ahead and got us coffee while Dee did my makeup.
Still Morning: approx. time - 9:37am (late for English)
Location: GrantMac...our English class
So Dee and I run in late, only to be greeted by the class interrupting our teacher to yell "Happy Birthday!" to me as we scurried into the class! There I was greeted by a huge hug from my Blue Jay, and AWESOME coffee, courtesy of Leah, and a brief discussion with our English teacher.
STILL Morning: approx. time - 11:01am
Location: Doreen's class
I can't really remember what happened here. OH we watched a movie called Happy Days (no, not Sunday, Monday...not THOSE Happy Days) and it was really boring but all we did was sit so that was ok. Yep. Glad I filled you all in on that one. Moving on...
Afternoon!: approx time - ....afternoon (this next section carries on for a while but we'll say that it starts at 12:42pm)
Location: Tim Horton's and then back at GrantMac
So my Blue Jay treated me to a birthday lunch at Timmy Ho's, a very good lunch I might add, comprised of a doughnut, sandwich and coffee. Then we headed back to school where we saw Blake bolt into the school ahead of us after he heard us in the parkade. It was hilarious. Then, I went downstairs and saw Blake and Cole standing with birthday presents! I was very impressed, especially with the bow. An awesome collage of random pictures of all of us, followed by the best poem EVER entitled A Jewish Poem For Our Favorite Jew (they even snuck in some yiddish!! and it RHYMES!). Oh and not to mention a killer picture that Cole put on my locker that was signed by the both of them. Very hilarious. Such awesome presents.
Afternoon: approx time - 2:32pm
Location: Ken Brown's Vocal Masque Rehearsal (a.k.a. the tap room)
A birthday song, followed by vinettes that were very hilarious, followed by a reading of the amazing birthday poem from Cole and Blake. Yep, that was that class. Moving on again...(so much for a short blog huh?)
Afternoon: approx. time - 6:32pm
Location: tap room again for Ragtime rehearsal
Yep, we had rehearsal for a long time...I sang my song a couple times, got sung Happy Birthday from my buddies and had a fun time as per usual.
Night time: approx. time - 10:43pm
Location: my house (no I will not give out my address)
Home for a SCAVENGER HUNT and cake with my family to end an amazing day.

Thank you so much to everyone who called (or called late, haha), who wrote emails and who made my day so so awesome. My 19th birthday definitley rocked.

Just like that tune,
simple and clear
I've come to hear
New Music.

You Had Your Daddy's Son

Alright bih-chuzz. Another week of rehearsals and we're supposed to be off book by Wednesday. Yep, that'll happen. I'm excited for this gong show to get more gongy. Yeah not a word but deal with it I haven't had enough oxygen today. (I breathed after I got outside Joel. You're funny.)
Rehearsals are going really well ("Whee!" if I do say so myself. And I do. A lot. Headache.)

ALRIGHT. FYI.
April and I are having our birthday party at Suite 69 this coming Saturday, the 9th, of this month, 2005. Please attend. It will be a rockin' time. We have a table reserved until 10 so i THINK that that means that we don't have line until 10. There's never cover there so that's good anyways. Hope to see you all there.

Not much to blog about this time around. Felt like ass today after the first section of rehearsals, but it passed when I got home and relaxed. Vocal Masques aren't as scary as I initially thought. I just had to get started is all.

MY BIRTHDAY IS ON THURSDAY! APRIL 7TH!! ALMOST 19. That only means something in Saskatchewan. But hey....now I'm cooler in Saskatchewan.

The title of this blog is very wrong.
And I hope that you realized that.
Those aren't the words.
But it's very funny if you think about it.
Twisted, yet funny.
April 7th is the coolest day of the month.
