The Imitation Game

Dear Wonderlanders,

It has been a while. I went through a rough patch last year and I basically disconnected myself from a lot of things. I am a senior now and it is time for prom. 

Let me start by saying I have never really had a date to a dance. The only time I did he ignored me the entire time. He would dance with everyone but me so I don't really count it. 

Last year my boyfriend at the time, I believe I have called him Clyde on here, was suppose to take me to prom. His mom the day before prom right before I bought tickets decided he was no longer allowed to go. I went with my mom as my date. My parents bought me a corsage and I went to the dance. It was fun but I just wanted a dance partner. Or even a buddy to walk around with. 

Well its that time of year again and guess what. I don't have a date. So I have decided not to go. I don't see the point. I asked friends to take me but to no avail. And honestly not having a date just makes me feel awful about myself. Some girls have the confidence to pull it off for two years but I just don't. Its just confirms that I will grow up to be a lonely cat lady in NYC. 

Tonight I finally got to see "The Imitation Game" with Bennedict Cumberbatch. In the film he talks about a game where a judge asks questions and a subject answers them. Then the judge judges them. So I am going to do that now but slightly different. I will ask the questions and you all will judge me by what I have said, what I have previously said in blogs, and the questions I ask. 

Am I that repulsive that boys don't want to dance with me? Am I that awful? Is it because I have so little confidence half the time or is it because I am too cocky? I can't seem to find the happy medium here. I just feel like I can't win here. I will be sad if I go and I will be sad if I don't go. I'm not sure what to do. AndI'm not sure how to fix myself so I am not so repulsive. 

Now it is your turn. Have fun Wonderlanders.

Apparently A Bitch

Well my life has gone to hell once again, hence the fact I barely blog.

Apparently I'm a grumpy bitch and no one like to be around me because of it. I never realized I was a bitch. This is new. Also never thought of myself as grumpy.

Am I really that bad of a person??

I know I have my moments but doesn't everyone? I guess I'm just worse than everyone else.

So now I have lost the majority of my friends, most people hate me, and I'm a complete loser. Sounds like a wonderful life right? Ya… not so much but there is nothing I can do.

I have started talking to this boy, we will call him Clyde. He is not necessarily the best boy for me to like but I can't help it. He's the "bad boy".  I feel like every girl has that one guy, that one temptation that they know they can't have.

Why do I call him Clyde? Because he's like my Clyde in the Bonnie and Clyde duo, except without the   stealing and the killing.

He's not all bad though. He does have a good side. He is trying to get my self- esteem up, which I desperately need. He's being a friend when I needed one and I am doing the same for him.
I don't think that abandoning someone when they most need it is the right thing, do you?

I'm just lonely and it sucks…

Is it too much to ask for a happy ending?

Home sick and scared

Well it's only day two and I'm having a bit of a rough time. No one here knows about my brother so when I have a panic attack, like I did earlier, I have no one to talk to. There is a chance he could e coming home while I'm gone and I found out today that missing class in less for extreme medical reasons is unacceptable  and during finals, completely unacceptable, so I panicked.

Yes my aunt is right around the corner but at 12:00 at night, that won't help much:( 

I was outside my room crying while on the phone with my mom when one of the RAs came out and saw me. The first time she passed she mouthed," are you ok?" And I nodded. She came back twenty minutes later and I was still on the phone so she just quietly sat down next to me and waited till I got off the phone. So I quickly ended the phone call to talk to her. She again asked if I was ok and I said, " yes it's just extremely overwhelming and scary." And she comforted me about being away from home. She's from Scotland so she told me what it was like coming for we first semester. We talked for about twenty minutes and I immediately felt much better. 

My roommate was telling me how during acting class we have to get very personal and emotional and everyone was crying and I'm scared about it. I have that class tomorrow song have no idea what will happen. 

But if I freak during class I will come home an most likely tell my RA what is going on. 

Well it's bed time! More tomorrow!!

Bombshell

Jambo Wonderlanders!!!

I want to start off todays blog with apologizing for being such a terrible blogger. First off I very rarely ever blog and when I do its normally sad and depressing, which no one ever wants to read. But the thing is, is that thats my life. Its sucky and I feel like there is nothing I can do to fix it.

I have tried changing who I am to try to fit in and I cant live a double life like that anymore. I must be true to myself.

Everyone needs to be true to yourself. Forget everyone else. And think about you. Me, myself and I. And today I did just that.

About a month ago, I was given the opportunity to volunteer to perform at an Arts Festival. I did and today (well yesterday because its past midnight) was that day.

I sang a duet with my friend Patrice. The songs had to be songs from the fifties but we were able to bend the rules a bit because we sang Let Me Be Your Star from Smash because we were dressed as Marilyn Monroe.

Yes, I got to be Marilyn Monroe and I freaking loved every single minute of it! Some of the kids from Suessical, the show that I auditioned for and blogged about a while ago, just happened to be there. I went up to them and said hello and tried to be friendly but they were not having it. Normally I would let this bother me but today I didn't. I just kept going and I sang the hell out of my song and rocked it!! It was the best I have ever sang.

I was able to shake it off and keep going.

On Smash tonight the show Bombshell started its previews on broadway and being able to sing the theme song for that show as Marilyn the night it premired made me smile.

I feel like Marilyn helped me get through today. Helped me shake off the jerky comments from the Suessical kids and keep going.
 So thank you Marilyn.

I tried to make tonights blogs happy and inspirational. It didn't work well but I'm still learning.
Well TTFN,
Alice

It's a hard knock life

Well life sucks once again. It always seems to get better for a small period of time and then suck more than it did before. But it always happens to me. You would think I would be used to it by now but I'm not. It's never easy being in fights with friend or even losing a friend for that matter.
I always wonder what is wrong with me? Why can't I ever stay friends with anyone? Am I that horrible? And honestly I have no idea. Whenever someone is mad at me they never tell me.
It's reasons like this that I love theatre. I can escape this terrible world we live in, all the bullies, the terrifying nightmare that I live, and be someone totally different from myself. It's amazing that there is somewhere I can do that.
Maybe that's why it's been harder than normal this time around, because I'm not in a show.
This blog is probably horribly written and I apologize but I had to get my thoughts out.
But as of right now right quote is life sucks and them you die and this is because that is how I feel. I just want a friend. Is that too much to ask? Apparently it is but there is nothing I can do about it. Sorry for the depressing post.

P.s. in my next blog I will talk about my summer for this year!

My big fansie moment!!!

Wow! Its been a long time since I have blogged. I will fill you in with my life.

This past weekend was the choir departments NYC competition trip. The trip started off terrible. Everyone was sick. The competition day sucked because everyone was bitching at each other.

The plus of the competition day was that I met an extremely attractive boy from England who looks just like Matt Smith!!! I DIED!!!!

Anyway. On Saturday though everything turned around because it was a Newsies day! All day Newsies! And I don' t think I have mentioned this before but I am a fansie.

For non- newsies people a fansie is a big newsies fan.

We started the day with a newsies workshop. I had done one back in November that I liked much better but it was still fun. Then we got to walk around the city for a bit and then we went and saw newsies!
This was my second time seeing the show but I was just as excited!

The cast was on fire that day! It was amazing! After the show my friend and I stalked the stage door and got some autographs! I was most excited to see Andrew Keenan-Bolger who played Crutchie. We got to see him the day before he left the show. He came up to me and actually had a full conversation with me!!! I nearly died!! He was soo sweet!

After meeting some of the newsies we headed over to Gossip Restaurant for a cast party dinner. Some of the cast members from the show came and had dinner with us!! I cried I was so excited! Kara Lindsay came. She is my broadway idol. She is amazing and I got to have a full conversation with her. She gave me college advice and everything!! I was in heaven! It made the trip!

When I got home though, despite everything that happened, I got sick. I'm still sick and its been a week. I can barely eat and I'm weak. It sucks. Didn't go to school at all last week.

Well that has been what's going on with me lately.

Oh Btw. Today is St. Patrick's day also known as my brothers birthday. It has been 12 birthdays since he has been home. Hopefully next year we can celebrate as a family. Miss him soo much!

TTFN,
Alice

Alone in the Universe

Sorry its been so long but life has been pretty crazy lately. This passed weekend I had auditions Friday through Sunday. It was nuts!!!

Friday and Sunday auditions were for a show called Seussical the Musical. If you have never heard of it, go look it up its an amazing show.

ANYWAY.....

I wanted the role of Miss Gertrude Mcfuzz. She is a bird with one feather for a tail. She is very awkward like me. I have been working on my audition for weeks I wanted it so bad! Then I found out that my crush, we will call him Horton(hehe see what i did there), wanted to play Horton! Horton and Gertrude are the two star crossed lovers of the show. He told me that he wanted to be Horton and Gertrude together!!

I almost died!!! Now me and Horton have a passed. I met him in 7th grade when I played his wife in Beauty and the Beast. We had a "thing" but nothing happened. Ever since then I have always wanted him to be my first kiss. It could still be him btw.

We worked on our auditions going back and forth waiting for callbacks and what not. Then we BOTH got callbacks. I was soo excited i got to see him, for the first time in weeks. We got to callbacks and when I saw him I knew I had fallen for him again. My nerves went away when we talked and I was happy as a clam. Then they split the girl and the guys up. The nerves came back and I felt like no one else wanted me there but him. He got sent home after about forty-five minutes and was keeping me posted on how they were running things.

In the mean time they had handed all the girl Mazie's song to learn. Now I am NO Mazie. I'm not skinny nor pretty. I'm not the perfect dancer. I couldn't sing Mazie's song. I was one of the few girl who had to sing that song and it sucked. I was so mad at myself. Then they called a few girls to sing for Gertrude.... I was not one of them...

I was crushed. Right then I knew i was not going to even get to sing for Gertrude. I didn't have the chance to prove to them that i would be perfect. But no they had me sing for a bird girl. In the end they offered me a bird girl but i turned it down. I knew i would not be able to have fun knowing that i failed at even getting to show them my version of Gertrude.

Now Horton on the other hand... got Horton the elephant!!! I am soo happy for him!! He will be amazing! I knew he would get it!

But we were suppose to be Horton and Gertrude TOGETHER...

He knows how devastated i am. He wants me to take call the theatre and ask for my role back just so i can be in the show with him... HE wanted me too...

And this makes me wonder, had i accepted it and done the show, would something happen between me and him? Does he still feel the same way he did three years ago? So many things are running through my head. And just to make everything better. Its valentine's day week. The worst week ever. But if i had accepted the role, would i have a valentine this year?


These are my thoughts. I will either blog later or tomorrow. There is so much on my mind right now. But TTFN

Alice

P.S. Notice me Horton.....
