Annie's Done. Life Returns to Normal

Actually, it was over a long time ago, like weeks ago, but it never crossed my mind to blog about it until now. If you're wondering, Jenna did stay, but we never hung out a lot after that. Jacey did not stay, but became a costume designer. She's more meant for that, I guess. Anyway, here are my souvenirs!!!


This is the cast picture. You can't see very well, but I'm right on the end of the bottom row at the right. The girl with her arm around me is my OB (Orphan Buddy) pronounced obb, not oh bee. Her name is Sydney. She's one of my best friends now.
This is the inside of the program. If you look, you can see that my OB Sydney autographed her picture inside of it. I autographed my picture in her's too.



























Bottom left: This is the outside of the program. One of my other buds played the dog, and she's really awesome. Her name is Riley. She got to wear a dog costume. It was so cute and funny!

Bottom right: My "About Me" poster thingy. They posted those up on a bulletin board so that everyone could read it. It says basic stuff: my name is Megan, I'm in grade six, and then comes the favourite memory from Annie. I said, and I quote, "Making new friends from the cast. Wearing BLOOMERS, it rocked!" I think I got some laughs with that. Then with favourite song: Hard Knock Life. If you haven't seen Annie, you don't know how good a song that is, but if you have, then you understand. It was one of the only three songs I got to sing AND DANCE to. I got to sing most of them, but not dance. And that's it. Yeah.

Writing Update: Randy

Hello, peoples! I'm back!
Okay, well first of all, you don't know what the stories are about. I don't have titles for any of them so for now I just call them by the main character's name. You'll notice the title says Randy. That's because in one of my stories the main character's name is Randy. It's a fantasy book. The main plot is that this guy, Randy, skips school. He's sort of a rebel. Anyway, he goes to the forest so that no one will find him there. He finds a cave. He goes into it. On the other side of the cave, it's sort of a parallel universe. He has two friends back in his realm. Margie and Crystal. Margie is just his friend who happens to be a girl, and Crystal is his actual girlfriend. But he doesn't like her that much as a girlfriend. Anyways, in the parallel universe, there are two more girls. Juniper and Tempera. Juniper is a water nymph/ tree nymph. She looks exactly like Crystal. Tempera is a young storm goddess, in the loosest sense of the word "goddess". It simply means that she can control rain, thunder, lightning, wind etc. As you may have guessed, Tempera looks exactly like Margie. There's also Dizzy, who is a pixie. She only talks to Juniper, for reasons unknown..... even to me. It sounded good though, so I kept it. Anyways, he finds them and hangs with them for about a day. Then they find out that Dizzy is the one who opens and closes the cave every year. I haven't explained this part have I? No. Okay, well the cave that Randy came through, it opens only like once a year, for like three minutes. So they find out that Dizzy is the one that opens the cave every year and that if she saves her energy enough, she can open it without the schedgule....... again, in the loosest sense of the word. So she opens it, Randy sort of reluctantly goes through and comes out the other side. His mom freaks out at him and grounds him for like a month. Thus ended chapter eleven, and part one. Now I am officially on PART TWO!!!! I finished chapter twelve and now I'm on chapter THIRTEEN!!!!!!! EXCITEMENT!!!! And there was over a hundred pages in part one. And now I'm on PART TWO!! I'VE SAID THIS ALREADY BUT I CAN'T STOP!!!! PART TWO!!! CHAPTER THIRTEEN!!!!!! WHOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!

The Quest for True Happiness

It makes me wonder. What IS true happiness? People seem plenty happy when they're putting on make up and trying to make themselves look better. But my firm belief is that you cannot become more beautiful than you already are. Because then you just look fake. I think people would be more happy if we all were ourselves. Like me. I don't care what people think of me. I don't. Sure, sometimes people make fun of you every so often. If you're being yourself though, to you it shouldn't matter. If you're being yourself, you realize that this is you and you have a beautiful soul no matter what other people say or what you've done in the past. If you realize this, you also realize that they have no right to make fun of you and that half wit judgments like theirs never impact your life. Maybe it'll seem like a big deal then. Maybe. But it isn't really. So try to keep life in perspective. When you're an old person, looking back on it, you won't break down crying, will you? No. You will laugh and say "Oh, those poor girls." And I believe that is the outcome of a little something I like to call True Happiness. So remember: though the path of individuality seems hard now, it is rewarding if you'd only stick with it.
