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
