happy friday!

if you haven't already noticed, i've disappeared for a couple of weeks.

sorry about that.

nanowrimo and the show and my sweet sixteen and dramadramadrama. life of the teenage theatre nerd writer, i s'pose.

No Sweet Sixteen is complete without a cheap tiara from Walmart that gets broken by your ex.

Our show shirts are EPIC.

I might be a man in the play. Maybe.

and i'm behind on my nano. i was ahead for the first few days, and now... not so much.

anyways, tonight is the second performance of the comedy of errors. and aside from the fact that not a single one of our dress rehearsals went well (people missing because of band competitions, health issues, one girl had to step down from her role and another had two days to learn the other girls lines and still do her character, too...) we are kicking ass and taking names. and tonight is the cast party, which is always a blast.


so here are your fill-in-the-blanks from lauren at the little things we do :)


* my favorite new blog of the moment is love and photographs. i literally just found it today. i loooooooooove it <3

* something i am thankful for is my theatre family. i always forget how much i love theatre until opening night. we always come together and perform our hearts out, and they will always have your back. unlike many other high schoolers.

* something that made me laugh this week was the show, of course! turning a shakespeare play into a western is bound to be hilarious, and ours definitely is. especially my friend luke's part. he has so much fun playing with the audience and our director actually gave him a part where he was allowed to this time.

The aforementioned Luke. I love this guy to bits and pieces. Even if he did used to steal my colored pencils in third grade.

* an item that is currently on my wishlist is(are) these sweater dresses from target in almost every color available (there are a couple that i don't like). i would happily live in them for the rest of my life (or until they wear out and i have an excuse to buy new ones :P)


* i am excited about the cast party tonight and thanksgiving and being sixteen and being single again.


* if i were a color i would be varying shades of green. some days i'm emerald or kelly or lime, others i'm olive or forest. and john mayer's "another kind of green" just popped into my head, reinforcing the GREEEEN thing :P

John Mayer makes everything better. EVERYTHING.

* my favorite way to spend a chilly fall day is either by bundling up and taking pictures of the pretty leaves or by cuddling up with a cup of tea and a blanket and either a book or my writing.


happy weekend!
