Looking back on my posts I've realized that they've become quite silly and personal. What do you get from reading that? Uh, boredom. So this post will be different. Aka, better.

First off I would like to thank you for reading this blog. Whether it's your first time or your last time (uh, could it *not* be your last time please?), I think it's very nice that you took out a chunk of your time and dedicated it to this.

And following that I have a question: Chances are that if you are reading this blog you've read other blogs, or some web page with the same gist and purpose. I would love to be able to see what other peoples' blogs are about, so maybe you could comment with a list of up to three of your favorite blogger sites? Then in my next post I'll make a compiled list of all the sites that were shown to me. Sound good?

Okay, so I have a new book idea, and I'd like to see if it's worth actually writing. It's kind of involved though, so it might take a minute.

Basically the story is as follows. There's a girl (she's about sixteen) and she moves very suddenly from Montana back to Hawaii, where she was born. She moves with her mother and her sister, who is about nineteen, maybe twenty. She absolutely HATES riding in cars, which is why being on Hawaii is great for her (cause you can just ride a bike virtually anywhere you need to go). She LOVES to swim and her favorite color is purple. On her first day of school she meets this boy named Marshal, who is very awkward and won't really look her in the eye or talk to her about much. She realizes immediately that he has Asperger's Syndrome (a type of autism). You find out that she's really good with autistic kids as she becomes great friends with him. In the end you find out that her five year old brother was severely autistic and got hit by a car and died, which is why the main character and her family moved to Hawaii.

So yeah, that's that.

Annie rehearsals are going very well, and are SO much fun. We open in two or three weeks, and I do think that we'll be ready. So far it's been a smooth ride from the beginning until now, so hopefully it'll stay that way ;)

Hello!!!

It's been a while since I last wrote, and for that I am sorry. :)

Right now I am sitting in my hotel room in Hawaii, which makes me very very happy. If I look out my window I can see palm trees and palm trees and palm trees and then the ocean. It's crazy, because since there is an active volcano on the island, there is a haze that blends the ocean and the sky together, so instead of feeling like the water goes on forever, it seems like you are trapped in a blue sphere which you can't escape. Some people like that feeling, but I could do without it.

We are staying at an absolutely beautiful resort where we can walk to the beach and swim with sea turtles and dolphins. Seriously, we got to get into the water and swim with dolphins and pet them. It was incredible. Yesterday we got to go to a hill overlooking the beach and watch the whales as they shot water out of their spouts and slapped the water with their tales, and it was absolutely breath taking.

Tomorrow we plan to go and see the volcano before we leave the island.

I am very excited to get home, however, because Annie Jr. Rehearsals are going full force and it's absolutely KILLING me to miss them.

While I've been on the island I finished tow books: I am Number Four, and Beastly. Beastly, on a scale from 1 to 5 was a 6. I totally loved it, which is funny because it wasn't really my favorite writing style.

I am Number Four was a 5 on that same scale, with an even weirder writing style :).

Not much else to tell now, so I'll talk (type??) to you later!

**sighs**

Not much has gone on around here lately. We're leaving for Hawaii soon, which is really good and really bad at the same time.

School is taking over everything, and it's sorta annoying. I don't mind school, I really like it, but it's really hard to just do school all the time.

We were supposed to have rehearsal tonight, but the world decided to pick right now to dump snow on our already treacherous roads, so now we're stuck at home and we can't go to rehearsal, which drives me absolutely insane.

Needless to say I was really looking forward to rehearsal.

I've been on medication for my eyes lately, and it seems to be helping which is good. I was supposed to have another doctor's appointment tomorrow, but like I said we're snowed in, so that's gonna have to be cancelled.

**sighs again**

I just finished a book called Perchance To Dream and it was very good. Now I'm reading The ABC Murders by Agatha Christie and Dramarama by E Lockhart. I'm also reading a bunch of other books, but if I put a full list down here it might never end. :P

:D

Okay now I have a new story. A couple days ago were the Annie Auditions. I felt like I did all right, but I figured I wouldn't get Grace like I'd really hoped. So then come the call backs. I got one, but SERIOUSLY messed up. Spoke too fast, sang way off key, the whole sha-bang.

Somehow, I got Grace.

So, I'm currently freaking out (internally, you know cause if I reveal how crazed I am to my family they will ship me off to the farthest mental institute). Rehearsals start tonight, and I am vowing to do WAY better tonight than I did at the call backs. Vowing.
