Ok everyone. for those of you that don’t know this, I’ve joined the local theater group.

I’m loving practices. In fact, sometimes I believe that it is purely these practices that help me get through the stressful weeks, because these kids are a lot of fun to be around, and I can let go of myself and let my maturity slip, as long as I’m not on-stage.

That raises the interesting thing about moving. Should happen any week now. Ugh.

When we move, which we all hope if AFTER the musical, than yay for us. But if we have to move BEFORE hand, I may need to hang with another family for a while. Not sure yet, though the Folks have a couple in mind…

Anywho, I announced again that I’m moving to Chicago, and got a negative response, followed by a “You can’t leave. I like having you around. You’re funny!”

Ah, Kyle. You have no idea how much I don’t want to leave.

I hang out with the cast at the practices, and given a choice, would probably hang out with them over some of my school friends. Great kids to be around.

And some of them agree. I may be somewhat immature around them (Hey, I mentioned that earlier), I’m working on being able to loosen up and still be able to maintain the image of a somewhat responsible kid.

But hey, being *mostly* off the book, I figure that maybe I’ll be able to, I don’t know, have a little more time to be a kid instead of studying my lines every instant that I’m not on stage.

Anywho, I’d like to take this moment to thank all the Not-So-Little people who helped make this happen. Nay, who CAUSED all of this to happen:

Mom - If she hadn’t forced to audition, then I would have missed out on a great time. Well….I guess I actually had something to do with that, having actually done well enough to get a part.

Joan - The director receives props for giving me this opportunity.

Betsy - My stage-partner, who is around 20+ times better than me, giving me an idea of what acting is supposed to look like.

Jessie - My choreography role-model. Wow, you can tell she knows what she’s doing…

Tori - Has forced me on stage back when I had no idea what I was doing. Is also extremely spaztic, causing much comic relief…

David should go here to, because without him, I would never have been able to loosen up as much as I have.

Monty Python - Ok, so he may not have helped me in the PRODUCTION, but he’s secured me a couple friends and is my stress-relief medicine. Nih.

And, for the final note, NO autographs until AFTER the performance.
