Playing Catch Up

I know... I'm a bad blogger. It's been like 3 weeks sense i've posted and I am truly sorry...  I just have kind of lost my muse to blog at the current time, however, I am confident that I shall get it back before to long. So here I am, playing catch up so you all know what's going on in the crazy life of Alisha.

1) I don't know if I've mentioned this before... but i'm kind of obsessed with Team StarKid. They did AVPM/S, Starship, Me and My Dick, and Holy Musical B@man. Anyway, I've seen them live and they'r even better in person. They're also amazing people and I hope to be like them one day.

2) StarKid has inspired me and some friends to write and produce our own things this summer. More information to come.

3) I no longer work at my dad's shop because I hated it and now I'm just living on a budget... ekk.

4) Sophmore year is just about over, and I leave to Alaska soon, which means this blog has been up for almost a year :)

5) I am once again in a relationship... with the same guy from the last two times... yep.

Anyway, more news to come as soon as possible.

Trojan Women

First, I would like to say sorry for not posting in like 2 weeks... things have been crazy. The play opened and closed last week and things are finally getting back to normal, meaning I can blog more starting now. :)

Here are some pictures of the play (the ones I'm in were taken by Sabrina Ruiz (who played Helen).

 my characters: Cassandra of Troy is the daughter of Queen Hecuba, she has been driven insane by the Gods' curse..

Trojan Women

So today the cast list was posted for the next play: The Trojan Women. I had auditioned with my friends as all my friends are theater people and I couldn't wait to know who i was casted as. Turns out i did pretty well in auditions because I was given the part of Cassandra, who is one of the leads in the play. This characters has a lot of monologues and is pretty depressed and upset during the play, but it seems like a fun part to play because in Our Town I had played the Stage Manager who didn't get to have any emotions and wasn't hard to play. This role seems fun because I'll actually get to make a character and act as someone who isn't remotely close to how i really am :) More to come.

This is Cassandra

Spring is Here

So I'm back!!

Anyone miss me? I surely missed blogging everyday. And I've got a lot to catch up on when it comes to reading my favorite blogs. Gosh, you go away for a week and miss so much...

In more fun news... SPRING IS HERE! Even here in the wet and rainy Portland Oregon, we've been getting some sun. I'm so excited to have a break from the rain even if it is a small break and probably won't last long.

My break was uneventful. I spent most of it writing a new story and texting my friends. One thing I learned over the week is that it may be time to cut ties to some people and relationships and just willingly let go before i let myself get hurt again... Even though I don't want to and I know it'll be hard, it'll be better for me in the long run.

Districts for Speech and Debate are on Saturday and I'm really nervous.  I'll be doing Poetry and DI which is Dramatic Interp. I hope I do well, I would love to be able to go to State.

Also auditions for the next play will be soon, We'll be doing The Trojan Women, which is a Greek tragedy. We'll also be doing this play outside in the courtyard... but knowing Portland... it'll probably be raining.

Anyway, only like 50 more days of school and they're going to be a busy 50-some-odd days. ugh!

Bad Blogger

So, sorry I haven't been keeping up on my posting lately. I do mean to but It's hard with all the things going on lately. With the EX drama and thinking about the next play, I've been so busy. Anyway, besides what I just mentioned, nothing really blog worthy has been going on. More snow in March. Welcome to Spring! And seeing as tomorrow is the last day before spring break, this may be my last post until April. If you still want your button on my blog I will gladly keep it up and i ask you do the same, email me with info or questions about swaping.

Thanks for being so understanding and loyal readers :)

Flu in December

Just like every year, I have already gotten my yearly flu. For the last 3 days I've been coughing and sneezing and feeling like i wanted to sleep the day away. Now that I'm back at school I've been feeling a little better, but I don't like getting yelled at for being sick. my friend tells me the people in my Journalism class were "Out for my blood" yesterday when i didn't come to class. well that's just to bad, i'm not comming to school as sick as i was and i shouldn't be expected to scheduel my sickness around their lifes. So of course, while i was gone the photo editor took the only assignment she had given me and done it herself so this issue, i won't have any photos in the paper. And to make it worce, auditions started yesterday and i can't sing :( Mr. Jacobs seems to understand though and I'm sure I'll still get a Daughter part.

Pirates Of Penzance

GWSH was an amazing show and I am so proud of all m very talented friends who put it on. Next week are auditions for the Winter Musical, Pirates of Penzance :) The reason that I am so excited for this is becasue i get to be in this play. i'm not exactally sure which part I will get. I think playing Ruth would be fun but i think honestly i'd rather just be one of the daughters, but one with a name, like Edith or Kate. Sure, I'm not the best singer... but i'm not terrible, and I'm comfortible singing infront of people so that should count for something, right? Wish me luck. :D

George Washington Slept Here

GWSH is a play about a 40's family who moves from the city into a house in the middle of no-where. the House they moved into is famous for being a place where George Washington slept, but soon the family finds out he really didn't.

The reason i bring up  this play is becasue this is the current play my high school is putting on. last night was opening night and i hear from all my friends that it went great. I'm going tonight and i'm super excited :)
