well hello everyone. By the grace of the online journal gods am I able to write tonight, woohu seems to be having trouble and it took a while for the site to load. but thats besides the point. I'M IN TENNESSEE!! boo. yeah today's events can only be described as "a hellish journey" I had to wake up at 8am after going to bed at 2:30. we drove to the airport and security at the airport now is a bitch, its such a hassle. so finally we get on our plane at 12:25 but then a bad thunderstorm comes!! our plane sits on the runway for 2 hours! i slept through it all and when i woke up i never even knew we had sat on the runway that long. haha i beat the system. well we flew into St. Louis to catch a connecting plane into Tennessee, well we get there and have about a 3 hour wait before our plane gets there. yeah that sucked. theres nothing to do there, we just sat there for a long time. ok well finally we get on our plane which is mad small. it wasnt a propeller plane but the smallest thing you can get before that. the only good part of that is there was this really hot flight attendent who was a passenger on there. ok it wasnt that exciting. well after that flight we made it to tennessee, we get off come to my grandma's house and what's waiting for us?! CHILDREN!! my 2 little cousins, who are 8 and 5 i think or 8 and 6, i dont know all i know is they're young and annoying. i wasnt too happy about that. my older cousin JP was there, he is a cop now, he's like 21 or 22 or something. he invited me to stay with him on saturday night and drink beer with him. lol. he doesnt know me very well. well things here suck. i'm not in a great mood, i'm tired, homesick, and bored. i miss everyone. we cant really do much here cuz we have to sit home and babysit my grandma who is dying of cancer. death sucks. it's depressing. and since i'm not the country type i get made fun of by my uncles and relatives. because i'm more of a city kid who does theatre and enjoys playing with animals more than killing them - so i get picked on. well i will only be able to get online at night times since i cant tie up the phone line during the day so if you want to talk to me online better get on at like 10pm and wait, i should come on around that time or maybe a little later. ok well i think i will end this journal now. Leave comments on how much you miss me or something. farewell. OH YEAH!! THANK YOU TO HOLLY AND JT FOR THE PLANE GIFTS! HURRAY!

Well today started at 2pm when i awoke from my slumber. i went on some errands with JT, we went to borders, best buy, publix, eckard, mcdonalds, and thats all. i had to get my passport photo done today for another passport since my was reported stolen in london (even though it wasnt stollen) Well after that I stopped by Danielle's house with JT and hung out with danielle, mark, JT, and Eden. It was pretty fun, we broke out the karoake machine. but alas i had to go to the music man cast party. it was at this restaurant called America on Clematis Street. Well I got there late and hung out with everyone and then it turned into Karoake. so me and this girl got onstage and i introduced us and said "This next song is a love song and it goes out to all the ladies" and everyone was like awww....and then The Wheels On The Bus came on...hahahah! After that I did Suddenly Seymour with this other guy. (Yes I know that its a guy/girl duet but this was the 1st tenor in our quartet and he can sing mad high) So we did that, I LOVE HIS VOICE!!! I love to hear him sing girls songs because he sounds really really good. Well after that people started drinking more and more so i decided to leave, it was very sad. i will miss them all. well i left there and came home and have been playing star wars galaxies for like 4 hours. my mom is about to leave for tennessee right now. so i have to say goodbye to her.

well today was a long day. it started when i woke up at around 9:30 this morning to go take my cat into the kennel to have him boarded there until july 30th. since we are going away for all of july we have to put him in a kennel. it was so sad though, he cried all the way to the kennel and he looked so sad when we left him, i almost felt like crying. not really though. but i really miss him, the house is so empty without him running around. ok well after that i had a matinee to do, which was eh. the quartet was sort of off. after that we ate dinner and then got ready for our last show. so sad. the show tonight was really good though, quartet was pretty good. the energy was very high and we all felt pretty good about it. we had a really good audience too. it was sad packing up the costumes and props, i love that show and i'm gonna miss it. well JT, nicole primato, steph co, jen matos, adam, mrs. direnzo, liz from chorus, my parents, mrs. tepp, and lil tepp came to see me today at the one of the shows. thanks guys! well after i show i came home and played Star Wars Galaxies!! wooohooo, what a freaking cool game. if any of you play it i'm on the skylla galaxy if you wanna come find me. ok well i've been playing that for the past 3 or 4 hours so my eyes hurt and i'm mad tired, time for bed. good night everyone.

Well tonight was night 2 of The Music Man. It went very well. The quartet sounded pretty good tonight. Jen, Holly, Chris Burgos, Alexus, Emily, Mrs. Tepp, and Lil' Tepp came to see me tonight. Chris enjoyed the quartet and loved the ice cream harmony. haha. thanks for supporting me guys! After the show Andy, Chris, Holly, and I went to McDonalds and hung out and ate. it was mad fun. greg (the guy who plays marcellus) is set on doing Les Mis in December. He said he would pay me to come do it but I dont know if that will conflict with Me and My Girl. Tonight was also opening night of Crimes Of The Heart at UCF, which Ashley Fisher is in. Congrats to her!! Holly leaves for new york tomorrow, have fun, i'll miss you! 3 more shows to do. wow there isnt much to write about, my life consists of the shows and thats all. like i've been saying, i cant wait for next year to begin, i'm so excited about everything, its gonna be mad fun! the quartet, musical theatre, president, me and my girl, people. hurray senior year!! well thats all for tonight!

well tonight was opening night for The Music Man. It went a lot better then I had thought it would. A lot of people came to see me! Thanks for the support guys!! There are still 4 performances left if you havent seen it yet! If you call yourself my friend, you had better be there!! The quartet sounded decent tonight. we had a few minor problems but we sounded good for the most part. There were no major problems in the show. Everyone that came pretty much enjoyed it. It was really fun. We didnt sell out tonight but i think the majority of the theatre was filled. after the show i drove Jen, Holly, and Danielle home and stopped at McDonalds. Well nothing else happened today except the show. I think i've realized a few things over the past couple of days. I'm really excited for next year, I wish summer would end so next year can start. wow, who actually wishes that summer would end and school would begin. well i do!! i just am really excited for whats going to happen next year and the people i'm going to be with. It is a time for new beginnings. Well another show tomorrow! And Ashley Fisher's show opens tomorrow, BREAK A LEG ASHLEY I LOVE YOU!! well thats all for tonight. Goodnight! come see my show!! :)

Well tonight was our first and final dress rehearsal for the show. We had to get there at 5pm today because thats when the costumes were supposed to get there. well the costumes didnt get there until 6pm and the director, stage manager, and producer were all very late. it made those of us who were on time very mad. well we ran the show tonight in costume and makeup and junk. Act 1 went pretty smoothly, some minor problems. we still could use another week to fine tune this show. the quartet did ok tonight, we screwed up one of our beginning "Ice Cream" harmonies but then came back and kicked the shit out of the song. then our second song rocked, but our last song stunk, we were soooo off key so the pianist had to play with us for the rest of the song, it was embarassing. well act 2 started to have some problems in it towards the middle and the end, we need to work on that because it'll suck if we have a train wreck tomorrow night. i hope tomorrow night goes ok, so many of my friends are coming. oh i love the song "Anytime" that Kelly Clarkson sings in J2K. I LOVE IT!!! it just makes me happy when i hear it. there is someone who is really getting on my nerves lately!!! he/she is in the cast of music man. i want to shoot him/her! I just want to say break a leg to my dear friend Ashley Fisher who will be opening in Crimes of the Heart in 2 days. Me and her will be onstage performing at the exact same time for a couple of nights. go us. well thats all for tonight. I want to appoligize for all the people I didnt call back tonight because a bunch of people called while i was in rehearsal. it was very late when i got out so i didnt want to wake anyone. talk to you all later!

ok well today was all about the tech rehearsal for the show. from 2-11. NINE HOURS! well it wasnt as bad as it seems. the quartet sounded really good tonight though. we practiced a bunch of times and we are doing well. the show is not ready to open in 1 day. tomorrow is our first and last dress rehearsal. i dont know if this is going to come together or not, if it does then it will be a miracle. so many things need work but there is no time to work on them. also we have no back drops for this show, its all done with slides and a projector, and our set is kind of skimpy, its mostly a bunch of props. oh well, it has been fun doing this with them. the theatre we perform at is really really nice though. they were talking about what show they want to do for the fall. most of them want to do Into The Woods, which i dont like. Greg (the producer's son) has a bunch of other shows he'd like to do, like Your A Good Man Charlie Brown, Mamma Mia, Beauty And The Beast, Little Shop of Horrors. I dont even know if i'll be doing another show with them, i would need to be paid pretty well. there were funny things that happened at rehearsal but i dont care to share them. Thats all for tonight. night.

good evening. shall we jump into the days events? well i had rehearsal from 1-3 today. it was a waste of my time, we cleaned dances, but sort of unsuccessfully. i found out mariah is getting sick of the lead and all the people who go out and drink every night, not that i care, i dont want her anymore. tomorrow is tech rehearsal from 2 until whenever, which will be around 9 or after. boo that. but we are in the theatre tomorrow - hurray. ok well after that i stopped by "her" house and visited for a little while. i love her a lot. ok well then i went to see From Justin To Kelly with JT and Regina. well the movie was absolute crap! i mean it sucked, but i really liked it. i dont know why but i really liked it, it just made me happy. it was hard to enjoy it with these loud ass kids behind us in the movies, talking and then yelling at each other - geez, the nerve. well after that me and JT watched the season finale of Dawson's Creek for season one. oh man was it good, it made me want to cry although i didnt. well that was the day. now for the nightly vague feelings. Please dont ask me what i mean by these because i wont tell you, they are just me expressing how i feel without anyone knowing what is it. Its probably not what you think it is anyway so dont worry about it. Ok firstly i think i've started something i shouldnt have. I have also decided to devote some of my time in taking down some of the evil in this world. they will pay for what they've done. i hate idiots by the way, especially one idiot who is oblivious to whats going on. WOW! well thats all for tonight. goodnight.

ok well today was a good day. nothing really happened until i went to JT's house and we played a bunch of board games. we played the barbie board game, sweet valley high, and chutes and ladders. I BEAT HER AT ALL THE GAMES!!! hahahaha. she is a very sore loser. well after that we went back to my house and we watched dawson's creek, we only have one more episode left in season 1, its the season finale!!! i cant wait to watch it! i then drove her home and we had a very deep conversation about a lot of things, like life, about people, and all different stuff. it was very nice. I'M ON THE PHONE WITH MEREDITH RIGHT NOW!!!! i miss her soooooo much. shes coming down on thursday and shes coming to see my show! hurray!!! i love her. i cant wait!! rehearsal tomorrow from 1-3. i'm worried about a few things and stuff for next year. well thats all!

good evening friends. today was a so-so day. firstly i must say I have a new friendship test in my AIM profile, it is upgraded and harder, so please go take it. ok next, today i went to wal mart with my dad, we got supplies, since my mom is out of town and the house is out of everything. ok now rehearsal this evening was stressful. the quartet didnt sound that great because we were all stressed out and tired so we kept losing our pitches. i am so tired of the production team of this show, they are soooo unorganized and they just suck. the director doesnt really know what he's doing, the stage manager is a hypocritical bitch, the "production assistant" doesnt do shit but sit on her ass, and the producer I dont mind because she actually does things. apparently we had a gig tonight at this restaurant to sing or something but no one announced it, i dont even know if it happened because i went home and so did most of the cast, so i dont know what happened with that. mariah has tonselitis and couldnt talk or sing tonight which was annoying, i hope she is better for the shows. after rehearsal i was stressed out so i stopped at burger king then i went to "her" house and we hung out for a while and she made me feel better. it was rather fun. well not much else happened, i'm a bit tired and i have a big day ahead of me tomorrow. Goodnight everyone.
