Today was....AWESOME!!!!

If not a little tiring.  But after relaxing for a little while, I feel more energized.  But why would I be tired in the first place?  The answer is quite simple: I had Drama Camp today.  At a different place.  I was hoping that maybe I would have less problems at this other place than the last one.  I was right...at least so far.  Muppet is doing it with me so I have someone to back me up if things head south.  But so far, everybody seems pretty nice.

To begin with, I had some paperwork to sign (or more like my mother did).  I put my lunch box on a table where others were sitting and I got a myself a name tag from another table.  Which is still in my pants pocket; folded up because it stopped being sticky.  And the director (I'll call her Ms. Mo here) knew my name by the end of the day.  Which is funny because I'm always the one with a name that no one can remember correctly.  But that's okay.  I've started to get used to other people calling me different names; especially the people who confuse me for one of my sisters.  But back on subject.

After I drew a butterfly on my name tag (that's like my symbol; it represents me in many ways) I went into the theater with Muppet and sat on stage while we waited for the others to arrive.  Oh, and there are like 50 or so people.  That's really not too many, or at least compared to the 70 kids at the last drama camp I've been to.  But small is good.  There's less names to memorize.

When enough people came we started to play Wax Museum (or statue or night watchmen or what ever you call it).  Basically, you have one person who walks around all of the other people and those other people are supposed to pose.  Those people change their poses without the "watchmen" seeing you move.  If you get caught moving, you're out.

We (sometime before or after that; I forgot) sat in a circle on stage (which of course isn't very easy with that many people, we looked much more hmm...bean shaped?) and Ms. M told us what was happening that day (and that week for that matter) and the dos and don'ts, that sort of thing.

After that, hmm...  I can't think of events in order and I think I may have forgotten some things, but you can't get mad at me because I'm tired and then I would get angry with you and that wouldn't be good.

We learned some of the songs, but I've kind of forgotten some of the tunes.  I hope I'll be able to sing for auditions tomorrow.  I wonder if I'll get the part of Snow White because I can sing soprano, I have the palest skin (of the oldest kid's group for sure and I have no doubt most of the younger kids too), and I have pretty dark hair.  Not that I want that part...But also not that I don't want that part.  But that's one of those parts everyone wants and (no doubt) some little eight year old would fit the part better than a teenager like me.  Plus I'm certain Snow White doesn't have wickedly curly hair.  I was thinking I should go along with a role that's closer too all the other roles I've played: someone old, crazy, and hilarious.  Although, most of my roles haven't been old ladies.  Only one.  But really, I think crazy characters have always suited my personality better.  I just don't want to be in the chorus.  If someone next to me is singing off key, I can't sing on tune either.

But auditions are tomorrow.  Long story short: I sang, played games, learned about auditions, realized that I had a dance performance in this same place when I was seven, and met new people.  Speaking of auditions, I have something to read about auditions, so until tomorrow!
