Welp, we managed to make it through all this with no more than a "slap on the wrist"... albeit a hard one!! It just got sort of nasty here with lots of wind and rain and some tornadoes... about 2 or 3 in the tri-county area. One hit twice out near Lana's but it wasn't anything too major.
Say a prayer for some of our Faulkner students. There are several that have family and friends in LA, MS, and down near Mobile/ Gulf Shores. And some of them haven't been heard from since before Katrina hit so they're concerned.
And tomorrow night's the big audition... I'm not usually so excited, etc. about an audition, but I am this one. I feel like I'm really prepared and really want a good part. I'm actually really trying this time. I should have been trying harder before... to help push our majors to try harder and be better... I just haven't. Sooo, here goes nothing!! ;)

Wish me luck!! I audition Monday for Animal Farm. I'm very excited about it. I think he'll actually consider me for one of the main parts. I just need to work on getting the timing down with the accompaniment track for my song... I've pretty much got my monologue down and think I have the notes and all down well enough for my song. I would love to play a main part, but I'll be happy just being in it, too!! This is the show that's going to competition in Mobile. I REALLY want to go this year since I'll actually be able to go for the whole weekend and get to see the shows and stuff.
Soo... "break a leg" to me?!!

Why do I always end up feeling like such an outsider with everything I do or believe?
Warning: This is a rant and not meant to be nearly as "mean" as it may sound and isn't really directed at anyone at all, just the ideas themselves... and me to some extent.
I know that Christians shouldn't be surprised if they feel like outsiders but this seems a bit "overkill" in a way. I don't fit in to any category for one reason or another.
Liberals think I'm a conservative stick-in the mud because I don't like some ideas about women's roles and worship teams. Conservatives think I'm insane for a bit of the same reasons and maybe a few more.
Why do you have to push for women to be in the pulpit? Why? Why is this an issue? Why can't we have men as leaders like I think it was intended? Is that such a bad idea? Women who feel called to ministry can find a way to minister without being pushy on this. And I'm begining to get frustrated with MEN pushing it... I just don't get that?
Why MUST a church have a worship minister and worship/praise team? Do they really have to be up in front of everyone to be serving the purpose? (Barring sound system issues, which I think can really be dealt with, if you ask me, which no one ever does...)
Conservatives think I'm going to hell because where I stand on the same issues.
I don't see why a woman can't be hired as the Children's Minister. Who better to care for and see to the education of children than a mother/ maternal figure?
And what's wrong with a worship team? It can keep the song leader from ending up singing a solo... pretty sure we're not in favor of that? And if the only thing is that you've got 6 or 8 people sitting there with mics and you don't even notice they have them unless you know where look and look from a good angle... are they being "showy"? Is that putting too much emphasis on them if you have to actually look for them?
Is a Family Life Center too different from a Fellowship Hall? Ultimately, they have the same purpose don't they? Or at least they can, right?
Christians should be involved in Christian past-times and Christian entertainment, right? So, is there really a problem with a church supporting a production? It does promote fellowship and outreach... or at least can?
Anywhoo, that's my rant and I'll probably change my ideas a bit on these... but will never like or dislike someone based on where they stand on these... only on whether or not they are a loving and kind person towards me and others in what they say and do.

I am so excited... my cousin is here at Faulkner as a freshman this year. I don't see much of my family. About two times a year, maybe three by chance. He's majoring in English and is in the Great Books program.
Welp, K-12 started this week here in Montogmery. It seems to be off to a good start so far... at least from what I've seen and heard... or not seen/heard.
Anybody want a kitten?? My boss is trying to pawn one off on me. As much as I would love to have one.... nope. They turn into cats for one thing. Second, I really don't need the extra expense anyway and my parent's don't either.
Saw Charlie Stubblefield at lunch today... a friend from my days in school here. I miss those days. I just feel like my life was a bit better then for some reason?? I wasn't necessarily any more or less happy, it was just different?!
Welp... that's it for news... more later...

I'm easing out of hiatus!! heehee... ;) "What hiatus?" My one from theatre!! ;) At first I was disappointed that Jason didn't cast me in his show, but then I thought... hey, the break'll do me good!! It can be my break for the season!! Well, the month's been nice... but maybe I'm getting stir crazy??
At any rate, Brooke and I are sharing duties running sound... well, it's more like I'm running sound and she's going to run it for me Saturday night so I can go see a friend's show. (Don't ask me which one 'cause I don't know yet!! I think someone's going to be mad at me a bit either way... well, okay, maybe just a hair disappointed...)
I think I can safely say that I'm a semi-pro at running our board now... maybe I should just say amateur? I don't think we have anyone I'd say is a pro at it REALLY? The pros in town all work at ASF or don't do theatre. So I'm an amateur right now... I hope to be a professional-amateur in a week or two.
I'm also enjoying working on "Joseph" right now, too!! It's gonna be a blast!! We're having so much fun!!
Auditions for Animal Farm aren't too far off. I'm sort of excited about those... it's our Festival piece this year and it's in Mobile. I'm hoping to be able to go for the entire thing this year... I'll probably do tech if I'm not in it.
I REALLY want to be in the Christmas one this year. It's "The Last Night of Ballyhoo"... I really like this show. I'll play anybody in it... I just want to do the show!! The two in the spring I'm not TERRIBLY hot on... I'm sure I'll audition, but won't be upset if I'm not in them. Next summer is looking like "1776" and "Suessical"... but that's still not official, just what they're looking at...
Welp... getting close to time to go... more later...
