I Guess This is Goodbye, Old Pal

So, as some of you may know from my Facebook status, it's been a pretty rough week for me.

Unfortunately on Monday, we had to put down my dog, Bianca.


I had her since I was 8.


Letting go and realizing that she's never coming back had been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.


I know it sounds pretty lame to feel this way about an animal. But she was so much more than that to my family. She was a member of our family.


And now, whenever I leave the house, I have to one to say Goodbye to. I have no one to greet me at the door when I come home.


And that has been the hardest thing about losing her.


Through all of this I've realized I have been truely blessed with having people around me. I mean, both sets of my grandparents are still alive, and although I have had members of family pass away, there has been no one extremley close to me that has passed...(not saying these family members that have passed on weren't important to me....just that I did not connect with them as much.....If that makes sense....)


Bianca was such a good dog. Although she was yappy and ALWAYS asked for food, she rarely gave us any trouble.


Anywho. I'm feeling better, although life has just been.....different.


RIP Bianca. I know you're not hurting anymore and that you're in a better place now.

Don't Worry, Be Happy!

Wahoo! Yippee!! I just finished my last paper of the semester!! Party time!!

...although....it IS 200 words shorter than it's supposed to be. Oh well. I have no more to say. I don't want to make it all wordy and stuff with repetition. WHO WANTS THAT!?

Anyways, I am tres tres tres happy that my two papers are DONE!!


Now all I have is a Math final.....but that's a couple of weeks away. So....woo!!

Haha. That's all. Just had to rejoice a little bit there.

The Procrastinater

Alrighty. Let's get this part-ay startedddd!!

(Not really. I just thought I should update my blog.)


Soo...

School is done in a week, and in that time, I have to write two EXTREMELY long essays that I am just not looking forward to doing..... Ugh. I am such a procrastinater.

I should seriously make myself into a superhero "The Procrastinater"! Fights crime after a looonnngggg period of time!! Oh man, I am a geek.

I am really looking forward for school to be done so that I can focus on the upcoming shows I am directing....


Also, I sent my application in for a summer camp job.....so pray for me that I at least get an interview!!! I need to do SOMETHING this summer.....so why not do something fun and worthwhile .....while making some cash in the process.....right???

Hmm. What else?!

I don't know. I'm really pooped and I kind of feel like taking a nap. (This is my new daily life story). I have been taking WAY too many naps to my liking. It's getting into a bad habit....just like my coffee in the morning!! Yikes!!


I would just like to say that I am feeling better since my last blog. Again, I'm sorry if anyone was offended....I was just really frustrated at life (as I'm sure most of us get some of the time).

Anyways, I think that's about it for now!!

PROCRASTINATER OUT!

Rant/Vent/WHYYYYY!!!

I'm sorry if this seems conceited/self-absorbed. But I need to vent/rant.

Why is it that people who have less experience than you/they haven't been working as hard as you have seem to get into show business WAY more!?

It's just frustrating....I've been performing since I was 6!! And theatre since I was 10!!!

And yet people who have been doing theatre for a much less amount of time than me get lead roles, or audition opportunities.....and it's just soooo.......AGGRIVATING!!

It's just such a stab at my heart and at my confidence.

I don't like this feeling!!

Sorry. That is the end of my little rant. I'm sorry if I offended anyone!!

Just a quick update!!

Hello Avid Amanda Fans!!

Just thought I'd write a quick blog before my 8:30 class begins (as I just finished cleaning out my backpack because I found out that the container I brought some watermelon slices in has a CRACK in it so now I have watermelon juice all over my stuff!! *tear tear*)

ANYWHO

Firstly I think I should tell you that I'm pretty positive that I did not get into Annie with TUTS, which is fine, because it just gives me other opportunities to do things during the summer! So I'm not too bummed out!!

Secondly JOSH AND I MADE A NEW VIDEO AND I THINK YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=064pemDlSzo

It's for a Youtube contect where you had to lipsync to A Static Lullaby's cover of Britney Spears' "TOXIC". It's pretty brilliant if I do say so myself and it took 3 days for filming AND editing.

So check it out!!

Also, I am sooooo excited that the school semester is almost over for me!! I think I have only about 4 more weeks left!! Wahoo!!


Hmm....I'm just trying to think if there's anything else I need to tell you.........

I don't think so!!

I know, I know!! You're all DYING to know about my life!

....Well, maybe not DYING, but I'm sure you're wondering what I've been up to these past few weeks!!


Well, firstly........

The result of my audition!!

I got a callback for a Boylan Sister in Annie, and went a few Sunday's ago...and it went alright.

Then I get an email saying they want to come in for ANOTHER callback tomorrow!! So pray for me!! (I get super nervous!)


I'm super excited because Beauty & the Beast (the show I'm directing/choreographing) is ALMOST DONE!! The kids have been working super hard and I can't wait to start a full run of the show!! We're completley done Act 1 now which is awesome. Just a few more things to finish and then......RUN TIME!!!


My Lindbjerg kids (Bugsy Malone'ers) did a "Kids Helping Kids" Benefit last Saturday....and I was SO proud of them. I'm really excited for their show to get on its feet and begin becoming a show!!!


Hmm...What else......

Oh! I saw the Harlem Globetrotters a couple Thursdays ago (for those of you who don't know who they are, they're a basketball team that does tricks and stuff while playing the game!) Very entertaining. It was a Valentines Day gift from my boyfriend. Look 'em up!

I think that's about it, nothing else is TOO exciting about life......

School Opera Auditions!!

(and no....not AUDITIONING for the school opera....)
Just those three words are involved in this blog. As seperate entities.... TRICKED YA!!

Well.

Here I am. Sitting on the couches at school. EXTREMLEY early in the morning.....(well.....kinda.)


Thought I'd do a little update on my life before I head to class and do a presentation on some good ol' science fiction stuff (Woo!)



Hmmm....where to start??


Well, last night I had my audition for Theatre Under the Stars. I was planning to do it on Sunday, but they had SO many people show up, that they moved me to Tuesday. Which is fine, because it was less rushed and more relaxed!

So, anyway, my audition. As some of you know, I am pretty much PETRIFIED of them. Well, not really......but I get very very nervous. So I walk into the room and I sing my song.....and it didn't suck!! I was pretty proud of myself.....usually I'm so nervous that my voice shakes and I can't belt out and act out my song in a natural, fun way!! But this time felt different. I think I did a pretty swell job. An 8 out of 10.

And everyone on the panel were super nice. It really helps to know that they're all on YOUR side and that they want you to do your best. Phew!!

Then was the dance call. When I exited the room I was shaking from all the adrenaline going through my system. Thank goodness my mommy was there to gimme my water bottle and support me!!

....after was the dance call. Now, a few blogs ago I said that I feel dancing is now the weakest point that I need to work on. But I went in there and did a good job (for the most part). Usually I'll get all flustered and screw up dance steps.....but I didn't!!! Only thing is that for the tap call, Shelley (the choreographer for "Thoroughly Modern Millie") went around and asked every single one of us if we could do a pull back or wings. And I can't do either, so I said so. Afterwards I told my mom in the car that I should've said ("I can't do them, but I can FAKE 'em!"). Haha. Oh well.

In all, I felt it went pretty well!

Phew. That was quite a bit for just an audition!! Hahah.



What else is going on in my life....hmmm....well school is going!! Thank goodness we get Monday and Tuesday of next week OFF for a reading break. (Which is a good thing....because I need to get caught up in some of my classes!)


OOH! Also here are some pics from the opera I went and saw...."Carmen". It was PHENOMENAL!!! The sets were amazing I cannot even describe. We obviously couldn't take pics of the actual SHOW so here are some of me and my boyfriend outside in the lobby!




I think that's about it!

Philosophical Thoughts (with a sprinkle of good ol' Amanda life).

Do you know what I love?

I love when I look back at old blogs/journal entries (yes, I keep a journal!) of mine. It reminds me of what I was feeling on that particular day, or what happened to me. It's cool because I would never have remembered that these things happened without my records of them. It's actually kind of cool looking back into your past. I see how I've changed, or how I've grown, and in some cases, how I have not changed at all!!


Lately, I have been learning and realizing so much about myself....and life.

Like, No matter who you are, you will always have an impact on someone. And having this on the mind makes you want to become a better person...(at least it does for myself). It makes me wonder how many lives I can change (or have for that matter)....I think it's really important to be true to one's self. It's the way God intended us to be. We should not be judgmental, or dishonest.....we should display to others our own, pure, beautiful selves. It is THIS fact that influences others.

I've also learned that I will never grow up. Sure, I'm mature, responsible, etc.....But I'm still a kid at heart. For example? I enjoy spending time and playing with my younger cousin. Her brothers, who are in Grades 10 and 12 (also known as my OTHER cousins) are just amazed at how long I can go in being able to keep my energy up with her.

How do I do it? It's fun!
I never want to turn into one of those people who is SO hard-working that they never have time to have fun.

Sorry, this is a random mix of thoughts.

While I'm at it, perhaps I should update on life.

1. I'm as sick as a dog.
My nose is stuffy, my throat hurts, my lungs ache, my head hates me. It's pretty great. I lost my voice for a little bit (which has NEVER happened to me).
I even left teaching EARLY yesterday (and I NEVER do this).

2. I have a Math midterm on Tuesday which I have not started studying for because I have been in no mood to due to sickness. Shoot.

3. I got invited by my boyfriend's family to go see the opera "Carmen" on Thursday night. I'm SO EXCITED! I've never been to an opera before. It's going to be amazing.

I think that's all. I should go back to try reading the most confusing book in the history of books.

NOTHING interesting. Seriously.

Ok. Sorry about my last post. It was just one of those days where it seemed like EVERYTHING goes wrong and I just was so frustrated. Gosh, I love having a blog.

I really don't have anything else to say, I just thought I'd let you all know that I'm fine (no....really.....I am!) Let me see what I can scrounge out of my brain.

Well, I'm actually CAUGHT UP on homework!! I'm not procrastinating as much, and I feel ahead of the game!! I just need to finish reading a book (like 10 more pages or something) and I need to read 2 chapters for Math, and I'm done!!! (For this week at least.....Bahaha.)

IN other news.....hm......other news....wow. Is my life THAT boring now? Tear Tear!!

Hmm....I guess that's really it for now!! Sorry!!

Good Grief!

I just don't understand some things in life.

Like, why is it when you want to make a difference in life, like a good difference, do bad things happen? I find this happens a lot to me and I'm not too sure why. Am I not supposed to do anything good for mankind?

Also, why do schools take away money from students whom they KNOW are in debt!? An example? I paid $100 for a PRELIMINARY math textbook. Meaning the text is not a finalized text. Ugh!! It's seriously ridiculous. I spent over $350 in textbooks this semester, for THREE CLASSES!! 3! That's it!

Blah Blah Blah.

That's all I want to write for now.

Dancing, Friendships, Organization

I feel like writing. I'm not too sure about what.

Lately I've been thinking many different, yet amusing and intriguing thoughts:

1) I want to continue training in dancing. And I mean TRAINING. Now you are probably thinking......"What is she going on about?!" ...... Let me explain.

I quit dancing when I was 11 years old because I found that I LOVE musical theatre. And don't get me wrong.....I'd MUCH rather be performing Musical Theatre than dance.

But I've realized that in order to be successful in Musical Theatre......you NEED a dance background. If you don't have one, there is a slim chance for you.....unless you have an amazing voice or you are an amazing actress. I do not consider myself being an amazing singer or actress. I still need work. However. If you were to ask me 3 years ago the order I choose singing, dancing, and acting in.......as in what one do I think I'm the best to least at.......I would've said:

Dancing is my strongest.
Acting is in the middle.
Singing is my least strongest.

Ironically enough.....this has changed. Now it is:

Acting is my strongest.
Singing is in the middle.
Dancing is my least strongest.

Hmmm. Back to dancing. (PS - sorry if my thoughts are somewhat scattered.....this is kinda coming out randomly)

I find that whenever I am listening to music I am choreographing something in my head. Now, I don't know why this is, but I do it. I love making up dances. Hence why I think I should go back to dancing. I think it'll give me a better shot in auditions.

Anyways....onto my other thoughts.

2) I've also been realizing that keeping connected with old friends is important. Important and also very heart-warming.

3) I've also been noticing that I've been getting way more organized with myself. Hurrah!!



Annnd.......funnily enough. These are my top 3 New Years Resolutions!!!! Let me sum them up for you:

1. Take a dance class at least once a week.
2. Connect with old friends and stay connected. Make an effort to hang out with them whenever possible.
3. Continue organization and stop procrastination.


Wow. Did not know this would come out!!

haha.

Happy New Years, everyone!! I hope it is one that is memorable, peaceful, and loving.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Wow. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Who knew that it would be creeping up on us so quicky?

So, I think I have a lot to say.....bare with me.

Firstly.....Christmas for a Cause.

On Sunday Dec. 21st, it was snowing like mad here in the Tri-Cities. And I mean like mad. I think it only stopped once or twice for about 1/2 hr each if that.

As most of you know....the show that my friend and I put on...Christmas for a Cause, was planned for this day.

Because of the snow, our cast got into quite a heated debate on whether "the show must go on!" or not. Now, I pretty much live by this statement. To have others in the cast disagree with this was a real toll on my emotions. I wanted the show to go on, no matter how many people were in the audience. I understood where the other people were coming from, seeing as the roads were treacherous, but I knew that people would bare them to see our show. To just go to the church and say "Sorry, you drove all this way in this weather, and we're not going to do a show" just did not seem right in my head.

Anyways, in the end, we ended up doing the show with the hopes that at least it would be a good dress rehearsal for us. In the end, around 60 people came, and we raised $601.40!! How amazing is that!! And even better news is.....we get to do it AGAIN!! The church graciously offered their space to us for one more run for those who could not make it because of the snow! SOOO....if you didn't make it.....come this time!! Here are the new details:

WHAT: Christmas for a Cause
WHERE: Eagle Ridge United Church, on Glen Dr.
WHEN: December 28th, 8pm
HOW MUCH: Suggested Minimum Donation of $10

Just pray that it doesn't snow!!

I just felt so blessed to know that some of my friends and family still came out to support UGM! (Thanks Josh, I know you had a rotten day, and I'm sorry you had to walk/bus in the cold, wet snow, but you are AMAZING!)


In other news.....hmm.....well, I'm not feeling 100% today. I have a tummy ache and I feel light-headed. Maybe it's because I know Santa is coming to my house tomorrow night!!

Also, I got my grades back from school......I got 2 B+'s and a C+!! And that's good for me!! So YEAH!

I think that's about it!! I hope you guys have a safe and Happy Christmas!! God Bless!

No More!! Please No More!!

Ok. I'm ALMOST at the finish line for all this school stuff. But it still seems SO FAR AWAY!


You know when you KNOW you should be doing something, but instead you do something else? You do ANYTHING to avoid that one task you SHOULD be doing? That's me right now.

I have to write one more paper for this semester (even though classes are over). It's due Monday, so I have time to write it, but I really want to finish it before the weekend so it's one more thing off my back. But I just CANNOT focus on it. I'm surprised I've even gotten onto the 2nd page of it.


My goal was to finish it TODAY (because I'm heading up to campus tomorrow for a study session, so I wanted to drop it off then and not worry about it). But the way things are going I doubt my goal will be reached. I just keep on getting distracted with other things (like blogger for instance...hahahha.) Or maybe I just need a small break from it so I can refocus? I don't know.

Once this paper is over I have 2 more exams to study for and then FINITO school year 2008. I cannot WAIT til my last exam.

Then it's CFC!!

What's CFC, you ask?



Christmas for a Cause!! And I think you should come!!

It's a performance that me and my friend Joel began last year. All proceeds go to the Union Gospel Mission!!

It's December 21 at 8pm. At Eagle Ridge United Church in Coquitlam. TRY TO MAKE IT OUT!! You're not only supporting me and my friends, but you're helping the homeless during Christmas time.



WOW. I'm pretty sure this blog makes NO sense. Meh.

What else.....oh! Lindbjerg's Simply Christmas is DONE AND OVER WITH! I'm actually happy it was earlier this year, that way my December is more free. It was a really fun show.

UMMMMMMMMMMMM.

I think that's all. Once I have more time I'll blog more.

Back to this DEATH paper!

I NEED A BREAK!

Ok, I have been studying for about 4 hours STRAIGHT!!! This is insane!

I hate having to study for midterms, because in reality, I forget all the information I learned by the end of the semester. Right now I've written out about 3 chapters of notes, with three more to go! My hand hurts!!

Plus I still have to write out notes from my prof's lecture power point slides. Oh boy. I only have 2 more days to study!! AND on Sat I only have the night to study because I'm out all day, and then Sunday is my little cousins birthday party so there goes some evening studying. Thank goodness that I have an hour in between my classes on Monday so I have an hour of review cramming (the BEST stuff!)

Anyways, just had to take a little break! Phew!!

A Chill but Eventful (and Exciting!) two weeks

Well!

A lot has happened since my last post so I thought I'd do an update (since I've been "slaving" away at homework all day......hahaha)

Hmm....Firstly, we cast Beauty & the Beast (as most of you already know...). I think Linnea and I did a really good job casting. It was extremley hard, but in the end, I think we got it! We started on "Be Our Guest" last Saturday....which is already looking GREAT! And the juniors are just too cute at their part.....they certainly are going to be such a treat in the show!

I also auditioned for "A Chorus Line" last week. I was pretty laid back (although I started getting quite scared after my sister was driving us down there saying..."I'm SO nervous!)

I sang my song alright, not my best but not my worst. However, the director seemed to like me, and I got to do a cold read of the script right there on the spot (and I got to read for one of the roles I was going for!) After was the dance audition......I don't think I've sweat that hard in my life!! (Actually, that's a lie.....in High School Musical I was practically a wet sponge after every show...) ANYWAYS. The dance call was challenging but I tried by best and hardest and just tried to have fun with it! And in the end I got a callback! (Which is a week today...and I'm SO excited!) So pray for me!!

We started auditions for Bugsy Malone with Lindbjerg yesterday, and I was just blown away by some of my students. I have a feeling it's going to be quite hard to cast some roles this year!


Oh! Also I have recently discovered "Skype". If you don't have it, GET IT! It's like a free telephone conversation, but over the computer! And you can have video chats too! A very dear friend of mine from Ottawa and I had a lovely 2 hour conversation a few weeks ago, and it felt like she was in the same room as me!


Other than all that, life is pretty chill! School's been alright so far (as I'm trying not to do papers the night before).

I think that's about it! Told you a lot happened!

How Time Flies! (and How Love is amazing)

I just cannot believe that I'm already in Week 3 of school! Why is it that life since high school has flown by like a bolt of lightning?!

ANND.....I'm 21. WHAT! 21. I'm now officially an "adult" anywhere in the world. How frightening is that!


Anyways, everything has begun! School, teaching......And that's it! Oh! And preparing and getting things organized for Christmas for a Cause, a project that Joel and I put on last year, and are planning to again this year!

Everything is going super well!! Callbacks/Auditions for Xtreme's Beauty & the Beast are almost at a close! We're hoping to cast the show after more callback this Friday.

And today, something dawned on me while talking to my sister about teaching/auditioning people - I actually LOVE all of my students. I was telling her how after everyone had their seperate audition, I would mouth to Linnea "I love them!" or "He/She is just the cutest!" or "What an improvement!" And although some of them may dislike me at times for having to be all "teacherish", I actually feel SO blessed to be able to teach such an amazing group of students.....not only with my Xtreme students, but with my Lindbjerg ones as well.

And when I discover that not all my students from the previous year come back again....I get a little sad! I truly miss the ones who have decided not to come back again this year. But I guess that's life, and God has another plan in store for them.

Anyways, I think that's about all I have to say right now! I'm trying to update my blog whenever I remember, and I am extremeley bored at the moment, which is why I'm writing here! (Hahaha)....



PS! I am now addicted to 3 new TV Shows:
  1. The New 90210 (ok...I know....lame.....but actually has good moral points......so far...)
  2. Privledged (which is on right after 90210. About a girl wanting to become a writer but ends up getting a job as a tutor for this BIG NAME lady's granddaughters - GOOD acting in it!!!)
  3. So You Think You Can Dance Canada (How OBVIOUS is this?!)

WOW! I think that's all NOW......hahaha.......eerrr....

School Again! School Again! School Again!

It's not as exciting as the students in Anne of Green Gables makes it seem....hahaha.

Well, I've had a math class and an english seminar. I'm not dead....yet.

I'm really nervous/anxious about this Math class though. I haven't taken Math in 5 years. I've been trying to avoid it as much as possible, now I wish I had just gotten it all over with. OH well.

Anyways, I start teaching the homeschool kids on Friday, and I am just SO EXCITED! This year they are doing Beauty & the Beast! OH MY GOODNESS! It's going to be such a challenge and I am SO looking forward to it!

In other news, I'm trying to find a show to audition for! I'm just lacking self-confidence in my talent at the moment, and I think that's why I'm being so stubborn and unmotivated to audition for things. I think I'm scared of the rejection, but HEY, that's showbiz, right?!

Joel and I had our first official meeting for Christmas for a Cause today (YES, we are doing it AGAIN!) I am sooooo excited and I am praying that we are able to get a theatre free of charge! (please pray with me!)

I think that's about all for now! I'm sorry if some of my blogs sound depressing/melodramatic, I just write what comes to my head! I swear I'm not a sad/depressed person! (At least I hope not! :P )
