22.A picture of something you wish you could like better:
RUNNING!! I've been running/jogging for almost 4 weeks now and I still hate it. I'm doing it for the exercise by the way, not for fun, more on that later...
confession: I hate running. But it's part of the exercise program I've made myself to get in shape for summer and more specifically,
Damn Yankees. The community theater where I did
It's a Wonderful Life, is putting on the classic Broadway musical
Damn Yankees . The storyline is genius and goes like this: *this is taken from the theater's website that you can see
here *
Joe Boyd is a typical middle-aged man who is addicted to baseball. Every baseball season is painful for him because his team, the Washington Senators, always loses to the Yankees. Joe ends up making a pact with the Devil that allows Joe Boyd to turn into the slugger, Joe Hardy. Hardy becomes the savior of the Washington Senators and a star in the Major Leagues. The problem is that Joe has also agreed to let the Devil have his soul. Luckily, the deal included an escape clause that allows him to return back to his normal life. After great success as a baseball player and various attempts by the Devil to convince Joe to remain young, Joe decides to return to his wife.
*Dancing in the show requires athletic, jazz steps.
So seeing the note at the bottom about the dancing, my BFF Bridget and I are working out. I'm trying
getting in shape by running, biking, sit ups, stretching, wall sits and eating healthy {working on that eating healthy part!} Bridget challenged me to being able to do the splits by the audition, I'm getting there! I can now touch my toes, which I couldn't before... ;)
The characters that Bridget and I are hoping for are "Lola" {the main girl} for Bridget and I'm aiming for the part of "Gloria Thorpe" {she's a newspaper reporter and sings my fave song in the show!!} But we are working hard for preparation for the audition in exactly 35 days!!!!!! Not that anyone is counting, hehehe... But I'm getting nervous and very excited for it... Excited to be in a show @ the OCP and see people I haven't seen in 5-6 months from It's a Wonderful Life. And yet nervous about failing the audition and the audition itself... Even if I don't get any part I'm planning on working backstage somewhere... So I'll keep you posted on the whole thing! :)
*yummmmmmmmm*
confession: A 24" rooster scares me. Seriously. That rooster while come up and attack you... He'll peck you and ruffle his feathers and it HURTS! He stalked me while I was feeding my rabbit Darcy and scared me so bad I screamed bloody murder because I thought he'd attack me. But he would not leave me alone, he'd follow me and freak me out. If you can't tell, I don't like chickens much!
confession: I can't stand a beagle's bark.... We found a stray beagle wandering around our yard, eyeing our chickens and so my mom caught him and he's in our dog's kennel and our dog is spending some quality time outside on a leash... But that dog won't shut up! It's sooo annoying. And I thought our dog's bark was bad... But at the moment we have 3 dogs at our house: the stray, our dog, and a dog we're babysitting. Fun, fun, fun. I'm not really a dog person either... :P
I need to go.... And work on my history homework that is calling out to me to finish.. Meh. But I'm paying attention to it's constant calling and I'm gonna go do it!
-Love,
Josie
