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.

Musicals v.s Manga - Is It A Commitment?

Today was an Annie rehearsal (did I tell you about Annie? It's the school musical) and all my friends decided that Annie isn't actually a COMMITMENT. But it is. First of all, remember Anna? Well, before Annie had actually started, Anna had signed up with me, and we were gonna have a blast together. Then Anna decided she was too cool for musicals, so she didn't even bother auditioning. Then there's Jenna. Jenna has been with me in Annie for a long time, but recently, she decided she hardly wants to do it anymore. She said that she doesn't know whether or not to stay in it. Now, I think that the answer to that question is pretty obvious, but I'm just the weirdo music freak, so who listens to me? But really, what's her issue? Annie's great! What's the problem? Jenna never checks her schedgule anymore, so whenever I go up to her and say: "Hey! Where were you on monday? We had Annie!" she goes "There was a rehearsal on monday? I thought it was only on wednesdays!" That's happened twice now. And she's missed like three wednesday ones too, so that's not much of an excuse. And my other friend, Jacey, well she just joined, like last week, so she doesn't really understand. But she's missed like two rehearsals already, either because she had homework (you can read my post entitled Does It Even Matter? to read my thoughts on that) or because she has Anime Manga club. Jacey is absolutely crazy about Anime, don't even ask me why, 'cause I have no idea. What's so great about Anime? It's a bunch of cartooning with funny eyes. What, I ask, is so special about that? Anyway... so she said she couldn't come because of Anime club. I've said this before, I will say it again, get your priorities straight.

Dreams DO Come True

OMG!!! There's this new TV show that's coming out in September called The Next Star. The Next Star is like Canadian Idol for kids. It's CANADIAN. I was totally going to audition today because singing is my LIFE. But Mom said she wouldn't like, take me to Vancouver to audition. After all my practice! (Actually, if truth be told, I only had like 3 days to practice because I decided I would audition at the last minute.) But here's the good part. I will love singing my entire life most likely. So Mom said she'd get me vocal lessons to prepare for the next season of The Next Star. She said she'd take me next season! Sure your thinking "what if there's no next season?" Well the odds are on my side. Getting on TV  to sing is like a dream come true for me! But it was quite a blow to realize that I wasn't going this year, and it took a lot of self control to stop myself from begging Mom to take me. Still, I can't WAIT for the next season. Thanks for reading!
