I just wrote way too much on The Chosen Few to tell it all again. And if I start the precedent of copy/pasting entries from there to here and here to there, things will just suck. So from now on, if you don't see a new entry here, go to: The Chosen Few, my new group 'blog. =)

Kat: "Did you delete a post of mine from the message board?" Kellie: "Yes." Kat: "Would you mind telling me why?" Kellie: "Um, yes." The speech went really well. But that doesn't necessarilly mean anything. I'm back to hoping that I win. =)
Oooh, a message on my message board... The heading was, "The Truth About Kat & Eric" and it was posted by Kat. As if the words, "Kat" and "Truth" should ever appear in the same sentence unless it also contains the words, "hardly ever tells the" is also present. But I digress. It says that all that ever happened between her and Eric was some kissing, and nothing happened in the stairwell. For Julie's sake, I hope this is true. She also makes a few remarks on, "whoever is spreading around other information..." which is real cute. Yes, Kat, I realize that YOU felt compelled to post on MY message board because of MY play which I wrote for MYself and was never going to even let YOU read... For anyone who's interested in MY version of the truth, I want to make it clear that I am not saying that Kat and Eric went any further than kissing. I am merely saying that KAT told or at the very least QUITE BLATANTLY inferred otherwise to Dan, to myself, and to Steve. (Steve Vittitoe, as far as I know, is still under the impression that Eric and Kat were dating, and that Eric broke up with Kat after she refused to have sex with him. He was still under this impression over Spring Break, because he was still laughing about it at Denny's.) I hope that Eric never did anything to betray Julie. Having heard it from Julie (who heard it from Eric) I'm inclined to believe nothing happened in the stairwell. But I want to make it clear that if Kat wants to know the source of existing rumors to the contrary, she has no further to look than the closest mirror.
I feel so depressed and disillusioned. I was feeling better for a little while because Rob Carroll is going to be inducted after all - though not as a result of my efforts. But having Induction Week start on a Wednesday is just horrible. No one knows what's going on and there are people getting inducted who just don't deserve it. When I was inducted, I was naive. I believed that it meant something. I don't believe that anymore, and it makes me sad... I feel horrible. These people deserve a President who actually believes in justice and the possibility of happiness. If they vote for me, they're stuck with someone who thinks that Thespians is too far corrupted by the hierarchy of favoritism and an elitist attitude even those who see it do nothing to prevent. Plus, the ACT's didn't go all that great. Math and "Science Reasoning" kinda kicked my ass... And for some mysterious reason, I feel incredibly friendless. Julie G. is like, upset with me b/c supposedly I was "telling her how to do her job" with all my complaints about who did and didn't deserve to get inducted. The thing is, I don't begrudge anyone their induction, and I certainly don't blame Julie. I don't know if I should wait for her to get over it or what... I don't know how to apologize... The whole thing arose because I was saying Rob deserved to get inducted if David did. She said that Rob never did anything tech, and I said, "Neither did David Foster." And she said that he sold tickets for at least three shows, but David says that he only did for 42nd Street. Those stupid "Good-of-the-Troupe"'s are so meaningless and trivial! They are just one more fallback excuse for Mrs. T. and the board's "judgement calls." Last night I was hoping that I would win the election for President, and now, I'm back to hoping that I lose. I don't see how I could win anyway, everyone loves Jessica, and rightly so. Jessica is deserving of The Collective Love. When I grow up, I want to be a hermit.

Yeah, so... Everyone loves the musical. So I guess everything has "come together" after all. On the other hand, everyone telling me how much they love it is a parent, so... shallow praise. I wasn't disturbed until Logan said he liked it too. I thought he was a person with whom I could share my disgust of cheesy musicals... *whines.* Logan drove me home late last night, and I was kinda scared for him b/c he didn't know where his brights were, and wasn't sure whether or not he had cruise control in his car. Poor guy. I really should call him... Tonight's your last chance to see a cheesy musical at U-High. The show starts at 7:00 sharp. You-are-the-weakest-link-goodbye!

Yeah, so... Today Mr. O'Malley stopped me in the hallway and asked how the play was going. Here are a few of the things that went through my mind: "The show is currently running almost six hours long." "I'm told even the leads are no longer optimistic." "The number of people saying, 'Please kill me,' and the like is at an all-time high." "Do you know how many students bought advance tickets? FIVE!" "Well, they pulled the fall play out of their @$$es at the last minute, why should this be any different?" "How the $%#& should I know? I'm just the House Manager." "Someone definitely said 'Macbeth' recently in Stroud." What did I finally settle on? "Um... All right..." Mmm-hmm... If that man didn't already think I was on crack, there's nothing I can do to make it any clearer for him.

Major weirdness, y'all: 1.) The musical is in SERIOUS distress, as in, they can barely get through an act per night and everyone wants to shoot themselves in the head. 2.) Neil broke up with Dan, hooked up with Nate, and then today, Nate broke up with Neil. I know what you're thinking, you're thinking: WDF is with that? And the answer is: I don't know WDF is with that. And on a happy note: Everyone, today was Justin's birthday. All of you who remembered - Good for you. All of you who forgot - Don't feel bad, I forgot too. Sorry Justo! We love you!

Practice yesterday was kinda... insane. If you asked ten normal people to sit in one place, and pretend to talk to the people around them without being a distraction, they'd be able to do it. But use ten theatre people, and there's going to be chaos. Only David and Jessica ended up coming with me to put up signs, which was disappointing. But the three of us, and later, the two of us, had fun, and that's the important thing, I guess. Today is Easter, so I will be eating Nerds candy and cleaning my room. The program is finished and that makes me happy. And I bought a prom dress and shoes and a purse and jewelry. Everything is taken care of except tickets and dinner reservations. My dress is red and it has a full-skirt. Thanks to everyone who went shopping with me to pick it out! =) The musical is this week (don't panic - don't panic) and "Blue?" is next Monday (okay - now you can panic). I'm kinda... um... freaking out. But I'm trying very hard to accept the things I cannot change and work on the ones I can't, etc.

My article (see post below) is up on the U-High Main Page. Yay. Steph and Rob are officially hooked up, as of today. Yay!! Josh will be in town this weekend, and everyone in the world appears to be coming with me to buy my Prom dress tomorrow. =) If you want to be a part of the action, page me or just show up at U-High at 5:00 tomorrow for Prom-Shopping or Saturday for the Publicity Extravaganza/Party. Love to all!

This is what I just submitted to the webmaster of the University High School Website: "Signs of Spring Come to U-High" The second annual "Sweet Sounds of Spring," will be held on Monday, April 23 in Stroud Auditorium. "Sweet Sounds," is the U-High English Department's all-day celebration of Shakespeare's birthday. Students are invited to read original or favorite poems or stories, perform scenes, and showcase their various talents during English classes or free hours. The event, which is free to everyone, was started last year by English teacher Mrs. Kathleen Clesson. The finale of the day is the 3:00 performance of "Am I Blue?" a fifteen-minute dramatization of the story by Bruce Coville. The play advocates tolerance and diversity through elements of fantasy: A high school kid named Vince (played by freshman Nate Loos) meets his "fairy godfather," Melvin (played by junior David Foster). The cast also features Vince's mother (senior Cori Raney), a bully named Butch (sophomore Rob Carroll), newscasters (juniors Stephanie Krimmer and Jessica Rubenacker), a librarian (junior Julie Fisher), a sleazy politician (freshman Justin Palm), and an ensemble of roughly a dozen. The crew includes U-High Thespians Megan Hannah, Julie Grubar, and Lexi Hany. In addition to Monday's performance at 3:00 in Stroud, the group hopes to perform at "The Coffeehouse" in downtown Normal, and at a meeting of Illinois State University's PRIDE group. For more information, contact Kellie Powell or Mrs. Clesson. Hopefully, they'll put it up... =)

Argh. Things are better but I'm still busy. Less stress but still a mess. I think I'm going to go study for my Spanish test, maybe. Yeah, that's a good idea... "You'll get used to it... Or you'll have a psychotic episode." -Men In Black

KILL ME NOW! I hate school, I hate 42nd Street, I hate HUMIDITY, and I hate PEOPLE. WHY, GOD? WHY DIDN'T I DROP STAGECRAFT WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE? Won't somebody tell me why we hurt one another? "You'll get used to it. Or you'll have a psychotic episode." -Men In Black

I am simply too busy to write. Hell, I am too busy to breathe. I'll be back soon. Sorry!

Got back from Boston last night at 10:00. Very very very tired, stiff, stressed, injured, dizzy, pissy, and insane. Need a vacation to recover from vacation. Instead I get 50,000 things I have to deal with. Mother-f'n-yay.
