Today is another one of those days I just felt like typing and/or writing. So, I, once again, am totally winging it.
In beginning acting we are writing and preforming a 6 scene play. But, you cannot act in your own. So, therefore, you have to cast you play, hire a tech person, and put it on by the end of the semester. I wrote my play and I honsetly was pretty proud. I have never writen plays before so I thought for that reason I did pretty good. My best friend, Lizzy, casted me for a spot in her play. Her play is about a young girl who is murdered and 4 of the 6 scenes are monolouges of peoples take on the girl and how she died. I got the part of her best friend. It is a very intense piece and I dont have much excperience in acting. I have to memorize alot and channel alot of emotions. I have to cry, I have to yell, I have to smile, I have to be numb, I have to be all these things AND be her vision. I think there is more presure to be all she wants me to be because we are friends. She cant nessisarilly tell me I suck without ruining what we have. But I am very excited to be apart of her creation because she is a fabulous writer. She writes everything down, like I do. Her thoughts, and fears, and hopes, and dreams.
Oh!! One of my good friends from last year moved to Germany, for the summer we thought. She actually decided to stay there all year. I was so sad to learn she wasnt coming back! Anyway, something happed that made her move back. SHES BACK!!!!! Last night was mutual and she showed up and we went caroling at an old peoples home. It was so awesome to catch up! The young womans leader was talking to her and I happened to hear her stay, "The only girl in the ward I really missed was Ella, I really liked it there. I really felt wanted." It was awesome cause all the young woman tryed really hard to make her feel welcome. And most of the boys did to. I had an amazing time caroling, and not just beacuse of hayliegh. We were going around singing and I noticed to little girls tailing us. so I asked them if they wanted to sing with us and Hayliegh gave them her sheet music. They walked aroung and sang with us and then we stopped at their grandpas room. There was alot of family in there huddled around this old man who looked very peacefully sleeping maybe. So we sang silent night to them. A few family memebers began to cry. We mustve sounded like a chior of angels because we were being video taped and they were taking pictures. When we got done we began to walk out and the mans wife stopped us and explained their situation. He had just had a massive heart attack and they didnt think he would make it. She said that he was able to move around and talk now after weeks of not being able to. She said they had prayed hard and that we were singing to a true christmas miracle. I felt the spirit and love really strongly in that room. Many of the other people we sang to cryed, sang along, taped their foot, or told us how much our singing meant to them. I CANT WAIT TO GO AGAIN NEXT WEEK! WITH THE BOYS TOO (:
