It's me! Hippolyta

So I realized that I haven't explained why my name is Hippolyta. In my senior year of high school, I played Hippolyta (hip-OL-ita) fromShakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". It was sooo much fun! I love plays and I love acting and I love directing. That crew was simply awesome and I loved those kids. I loved our teacher too Mrs. Sparks (aka Sparkles). It was a great year. There were issues and hard times, but it all came together and was an awesome experience that I will never forget.

PS. The guy I'm carrying is supposed to be my husband Theseus. It was sort of a joke that I would carry him and the guys would carry the girls in the other lovers. So yeah. =) I'm strong

PPS. Oh yeah, and that is Mrs. Sparkles: best drama and art teacher ever!

Ok this is another PS cuz I saw what the published TB looked like and it was this little paragraph and like a billion photos. So I am writing this TB as a PS so the TB looks longer and there is not an ugly trail of pictures. And it is odd that I would not write more...I mean, on my other blogs, I was thinking "oh I only have to talk about this" but then I start typing and just can't stop. But then I come to talking about the play and am drawing a blank! Well, it might have something to do with the fact that I loved everything about my class and the play and the people who stepped in to help, and there is nothing negative to say really! I'm not saying nothing went wrong; we had a character with like 30 lines decide to drop out and his stand in (who wasn't even in the class) didn't show up to the rehearsal, so I fired him (I think he might hate me sort of cuz he likes acting, but it's his own fault for not showing up), so my amazing friend who does like 5 plays a year is friends with this guy who went to a speech class with this other guy who is really good at giving speeches. So this guy (the friend of my friend's friend) took the place of the guy who dropped out and was fired. That was the biggest negative. There was one more major bad happening, I suppose. And that was actors not knowing their lines. I remember it was the day before the play and a person didn't know half of his lines! So yes there was stress an bad things, but none of that showed up really in the actual performance. That is why I have the lasting positive memories. I actually was at my best with that stress. I loved the rush of "Gwuakle went wrong so gwuakle needs to happen to fix it". For example, transferring the props to the theater, some stuff was put in the wrong place and a girl fainted from exhaustion and stuff like that is just so exciting to me!! I love all of the behind the scenes work and everything. I joined the drama class just because I love acting and love knowing what goes on behind the scenes to make the play happen. I just love it! And then I was director so I got to tell everybody what to do and that was...I don't have words to describe how awesome that was! I LOVE drama. I LOVE acting. I LOVE directing! Plays are just soo awesome!

Anyway, I think this might have used

up the space next to the pictures to tata for now! =)

(I always feel

like I should put a smiley face at the end because I like talking and writing all my thoughts down so I'm happy at the end of my TBs...just in case you wonder why I always do that. And I try not to put it at the end of all of them cuz it seems a bit much, but sometimes I can't help it. It's like when you say good-bye to someone; I always leave with a smile on my face) ;) <--just to mix things up. ahahaha
