Gah! My poetry sucks and it's pissing me off! I tried writing a poem about Andrew, and dear god I made a joke out of my unborn child! I'm terrible at poetry anymore!

We have court at our school tomorrow. We have to sit with out ACS teacher. I guess I'm lucky because Darryl and him have the same ACS teacher so I guess I have friends that I can sit next to.... if they want me.

I have to remember to sign up for play try-outs tomorrow. Did I mention I'm going out for the school play? I've been in a few plays before and it was great. I love acting. The first play I acted in (I guess you could call it acting.) was in the summer before the 5th grade. I was an understudy for the main role, and often had to play for him.

My second was in the 5th grade and I was a delegate in the play "Grandfather's Clock". I had a good deal of lines, and had to recite the Preamble to the constitution. It took forever.

My third was the summer before 6th grade and I sang a solo in the camp play. I have it on tape and I sounded amazing. If my voice still sounded like that, I would sing all the time. Then for a while I stopped singing because I was so depressed. Then when I tried to sing again after about a year of not singing at all, I sounded like shit. Until recently I couldn't stand the sound of my voice when I sang, but I kept trying and one day it sounded okay.

My fourth was the summer before 7th grade and I was the main role. After 3 years at that camp, I finally got to have the staring role. I remember it like it was yesterday. A banner in front of the auditorium read "Stephanie Jones and Jennifer Olney star in: The Rising Sun

I remember a certain rehearsal when Jennifer's line was: "Then came the flies." but instead accidentally said, “Then came the fries." This was a day before the premiere, and whenever she said the line, we would go into a fit of laughter. The director nearly had a heart attack when we couldn’t get through scene four without laughing. Premiere night went very well though, and we didn’t laugh at scene four. Jennifer’s voice did crack though as she tried not to laugh. We burst into the bathroom after the show and laughed for a very long time.

My fifth acting experience was in 7th grade. I was a daughter kind of an ‘extra’ if you will that sang songs. The play was “Pirates of Penzance”. This was by far my least favorite.

I’m going to bed. I caught the damned flu again. Goodnight.
