Anyway, here they are. Same style as I did the TOMMY performance breakdown. (Woah, have I had this diary that long? Over 6 months? Woah.)

Thursday Night

Well. This was opening night. OnlyI had my school concert. (See the big 6-6 conflict a few entries back.) I was antsy the entire afternoon, as I would have been at the High School. In fact, had I been at the HS, I think I would have gone crazy with nerves- like at TOMMY. (G-d that was awful! The nerves, I mean. I thought I was gonna throw up at TOMMY. Not a fun feeling, I can tell you!) So anyway. I had my school concert, which was fine. As fine as a school concert can be. However, I totally screwed up the after-school-choir tap dance. (For one of the songs in after-school choir named for my school [** Singers] and so i'm not putting it 'cause i'm online-paranoid.) We had made up a tap dance to go with one of our songs- on our own time, mind you. So of course, I screwed up. Oh well, Dad didn't see it. (He was still parking) so it's OK. I had him leave early (his idea, actually) so we wouldn't have to wait SO long to get out of the school parking lot. It really takes like a hour just to leave. It's rediculous (sp?). The WSS medly was overall good. Madeline's solo was great. So I get to the HS at about, um. I don't know the time, LOL. I remember shinning into my Act I costume while "Dead End" was onstage. So, all in all, I was lucky as in the fact that I got back in time for "Hare Krishna!" Woo hoo! I got my big flute-a-phone solo! (RECORDER!!) Sorry. Recorder. (I say that 'cause EVERYONE called my recorder a flute-a-phone and I yelled at them. XP LOL. The performance itself, I honostly can't remember that well. I think it went OK-- all in all, no body died! Yeah! Gotta love that. LOL. One thing I do remember- in the Trip I didn't have my ray-gun to kill the Nuns. To people not in the show that's gonna sound SO strange, lol. It's a prop I didn't have 'cause I didn't have a change to set it prior to the show. I remember on the way home Dad was raving (in a good way) about the Trip sequence. He said it was SO good how we went in reverse and then foward again, then backwards and fowards again and again. He really liked it. I was proud... *blush* People supposedly went out afterward, but I wasn't allowed. Doy- it was a schoolnight. I was exhausted with the performance alone!!! LOL. I yelled at Dad a bit 'cause I wanted to go out. Baaaad Hannah. (I don't allow myself to yell at my parents- that's their job.)

So That Was Thursday. Then on Friday-- school. Oy! Got to sleep late, though- SCORE!!!

Saterday (2)	Saterday Afternoon --- Well. This I do certinly have somethings to write about. (hiccup. ouch. my neck!) Let's see what I remember. *thinks* Greeeeat. I can't remember much, but here goes. Saterday afternoon, the theatre itself was practically EMPTY, as it always is in the 2nd performance. It was sunny out (SO NICE) and so we got to do the "Festival" before the show (interacting w/ audiance, getting into character, etc.) was outside. Sam (oops! Moonbeam) and I (Harmony) pumped the audiance for money. LOL. We'd go open car doors and then say "Bread for the Beatnicks?" or Something like that. LOL. I got 15 cents and Sam got 15 cents, a dollar and a KISS from someone!!! XP LOL I found that hilarous. I'm "LOL-ing" a lot. The performance... the performance... I can't remember- oh yes! During the "HAIR" dance, I couldn't get to my spot! I got squashed to the back with all the eh-dancers (but everyone was really good, so the only great dancers as opposed to the fantastic dancers). I was a bit mad about that. At the time, it was like an "Oh Well" thing. Other then that, not much happened. I had my ray-gun this time, yay! Other then that, nothing spectacular about this performance. Everything went decently. Michael was raving about Thursday's performance, which I didn't think was great, but then again I had missed all the big dance numbers. :( Oh well. Wow, this entry is making me SO HAIR-Sick. :,'(
	Between Shows! --- Well, btwn shows people went to lots of diff. places, but the place to be, if you know what I mean, was the Oriental Grill- undisclosed location. I hope this doesn't give me away. So I finally got a ride there from Cara. I had been all strange b/c Mom had given me 20$ that morning for btwn show meal and after-show diner. I lost it- SMART HANNAH! So I was really ticked at myself for losing that money. The night before, at the J.H. "Sweet Charity," on which I will comment later, Mike had possibly promised me a seat in Josh's car to the O.G. for Sat. I asked Josh on Saterday and he said his car was full, of course, as always. So I was broke and rideless. (SHOOT! I just remembered I have to pay both Sam AND Cara back. Oooops!) Cara litterally dragged me out of the theatre 'cause I didn't want to leave. I felt really soothed on the stage, and not so harshly self-hating. But Cara made me go with her, luckily, and it was Cara, Mike M. and me in a car to the Mall (what, like 45 min away?) and back. THAT was interesting. LOL. Mike is a lot funnier then I remember him! Poor Cara was like totally isolated from the convo- if you're reading this, Cara-- I LERV YOU TOO!!! But at the Grill I had this interesting pasta concoction with one hand while shoving food down both Leah and Sam's throats with my other, LOL. (Leah, I don't care if you didn't want more, it was good for you!) Sam had like none of her food. I got mad at her. >:( Cara gave me some Teriaki Chicken- YUM- so it was all good. Then Leah jumped in the car with us on the way back to the H.S. and we had another interesting conversation. Leah found out about how I think I like Mike H. (Not the one that was in the car with us, which was Mike M.) She wasn't happy about finding that out- who knows why. After the Grill, we spent a good 25 min, or so it felt, waiting for some people to get back from the bathroom before we could head back to the theatre. Of course, no one, and I mean no one got back at call time-- Michael was practically expecting it 'cause he knew we were going to O.G. LOL. So that was Btwn Shows.
	Saterday Night -- This was undoubtly in my mind the best performance. Everyone was at the pinnacle of energy and everything clicked. The one thing I really remember from the performance is that for the "HAIR" dance, I got into my true spot with a little pushing... sorry to whoever I pushed. The girl who was on one side of me, Rachel, has a R-E-A-L-L-Y high kick, and we were all squashed in the front. At the part of the dance where we kick to the back, her foot was (and I am NOT exaggerating) mabye 3 inches away from my face. Possibly less. I could feel the wind as it sailed by, so very close to breaking my nose. Obviously, I was so shocked I didn't do the dance full out. The entire time I was thinking, "Oookkkaaaaay!" For some reason. It was just so so so so so close to a bad show. But I got there! And they taped this one and the Sat afternoon one and the Sun (ugh) one, I'm definetly getting this tape even if I have to buy it. This was by FAR the best show. Even if Nick was Woof and not Adam. *sigh!* Oh well. Made 'Climax' all the more entertaining to watch! (For you see, when Nick is Woof, Adam gets to be in Climax. żOr do they both? Watch me eat my words... After the Sat night show, people went to diners, of course. I went to the... *cough cough* diner with a bunch of people... Leah, Brittany, Amy, and a bunch of other people got there before us and ended up sitting at practicaly the other end of the diner--- wah! So I ended up sitting with Sam (YAY!!!) and (this really ruined my time) Laura. (Sam, you know I love you to death and beyond. I just... don't have the warmest feelings toward Laura right now. You understand.) I had a BIG chicken cesear (sp?) salad with the dressing on the side (yes!) and I had.. um.. most of it- it was goooood. Mia stole some of my chicken, though- and that was the best part, dernit! (Leah!) Ashley was very nice and let me use her cell phone to call home. Thank you!!! I also had a rice pudding- I LOVE RICE PUDDING. So that was a nice evening. Except for the very ending. First of all, the waiter at the diner was an IMBECILLE. He didn't get Sam's onion soup for like an hour. It took him so long they took it off the bill. LOL He was a complete idiot.Then Sam's mom had to take her away leaving me with LAURA for the longest 20 min of my LIFE. OMG I thought it was awful. I did not have a good time then. I didn't get into bet untill like 2 AM, litterally. So that was Sat. Night!

Blah Blah Blah- I ramble on and on like a brook! A babbling brook I am!

Sunday (Last)

Sunday's Performance --- Last table!!! Phew this is one heck of an entry w/out the scrolly boxes. So this was the last performance. All my friends and family came. And we sucked. At least I did. I KNOW I did, and I would really prefer if people didn't try to convince me otherwise. (Ouch! I have hiccups again) Anyway. The reason I know this sucked is that in the HAIR dance, again I coudln't get to my spot. So I got to the back and didn't do the dance full-out, as I was SO tired from the night before and the fact that I thought I was in the back, so no one could see me! (I find out later that whereever you are on this stage people can see you.) I was so so so mad that my parents and friends couldn't see me dancing that I started to cry- right onstage. So I exited, in character, and sat backstage sobbing for a while. It was nice and quiet there, and cool (temperature wise). I could sit and listen to the show going on. It was the LOOOONG speaking scene in Act I, so I wasn't really needed. It was OK that I wasn't there. After a while people exited to get water or whatever, and Mike H. was the first one to ask if I was OK. He sat with me for a while- it was really sweet of him to even care. He said things like "Is there anything you want to talk about?" and I thought of telling the truth, but that sounds REALLY self-centered-- "I wanted my friends and parents to see ME dancing, and they didn't... so i'm crying." That didn't even sound good in my head. So I said it was one of those days, and I couldn't quite put my finger on why I was so upset. Which was definetly at least partially true. He said he was sorry and he sympathised, he had felt that way only the day before. After a while I got up and went to get my recorder (NOT FLUTAPHONE) really early for Hare Krishna and by that time Mike had gone upstairs already. We walked down the hall together- I thought it was nice. Now, I don't understand why I can't like him. I understand he likes someone else A LOT, and that's fine with me. It would even be okay if that girl who he likes liked him back. I don't care. It's just nice to have a crush, I think. Even if that's all it is, a crush. So Sunday's performance itself was BAD. Just really BAD.

Epilogue & Striking Set --- So this was after the Sunday show. It was so sad, because all the seiniors left. I said goodbye to Josh, who I probly will not see again barring the cast party (I told him I'd miss him and he was the older brother I never had [he was Charlie Brown when I was Sally]), and Jenn (who I just said I'd miss... I didn't know what to say to her, I hold her in such high regard. She told me that when i'm 18, I had to give the speech that she gave on how thespians have such magic in their ability to remove themselves from theirselves and place themselves in others.) I will Jenn see at acting class twice more, nowhere close to enough. I said goodbye to all the other seinors, who I'm not as close too. A bunch of people stayed and helped to strike the set, although it ended up that one family- Adam L's family practically all of them- were the only ones actually striking. The rest of us hung around, cleaned up, and ate pizza!! Only thing was I had asked my father to bring me some food 'cause I was SO hungry. So of all things, what does Dad bring? SUSHI!!!!! Yum! I lerv sushi, in case you don't know. (Keep in mind my birthday is coming up. LOL.) I shared the rolls with Lauren and Leah and had the rest. It was goooooood. Then after a while I went in and played piano, the regular stuff.. Soft Shoe Sally, Safari, Lazy 6th Blues... all that. Andre (who is an adult. He's black and played Hud in our prodiction of HAiR) came up to me and said, "Is there anything you can't do?" I presumed he meant on the piano so I said, "Sure... complicated stuff!" He said, "Like what? Acting? Yes. Singing? Yes. Dancing? Yes. What can't you do? Name one!" So, for modesty's sake, I said, "Complicated piano pieces." I got him there. But what he said really made me feel good about myself for a few minutes. Later he said, "You really like performing, don't you?" of course I said, "Yes, I do." He said, "You're good at it." Me, good? At something? What an idea. It was very nice of him though. On another note, the cast pix for HAIR didn't come out that great. Of course, I took NO pix, so I'm nagging Sam, Leah and Brittany to give me pix.. LOL. So that was HAIR!

Woah. Long entry. Hungry. Gonna go eat now.
