love the one that's right for love

I miss it. I think I could miss it just as much as I miss you. marks on my face from mic tape face, "getting in the bag", curling hair and gelling hair nonstop, and total energy. That feeling of being infinite at the very end and at the very beginning.

So, I was in Chicago.
we dazzled the audience. we razzle dazzled them.

i like to be straight up with cute people.

like a field of rice, i've grown out of view

i have been having nonstop rehearsals! i haven't been able to get much of a break lately. but, i love it. i love it so much. i've also been listening to a lot of michael buble and musicals. i'm very excited to put on a show as amazing as chicago. i'm also doing a monologue from A Chorus Line for a drama class. what did you guys think of the new episode of glee?
i want to be living for me more than for other people.
i want to watch rugrats with my girls more.
i want to take more walks in the spring air.
i want to find my lost shoe.
i want no more of this spiritual fatigue that is haunting around me.
i want you to get back into my life.

this is a cake that one of our stage managers made for chicago. it has roxie and velma sitting downstage on it. and then my drama teacher at the back! she's an artist with pastry. sorry if my posting is a little bit slow for the next little while, i promise i'll post pictures of the show after it is done.

it all seemed quite natural

there was a pretty girl and she maybe liked this one boy but he was most likely leading her on; playing her. she was a bit scared to fall, but she did: halfway. then his not so good side kept shining through. she was a good person, and didn't care enough to do something about it. this boy told her stories of love and commitment and growing old together. it was too good to be true.
which is unfair. so she said, "butter me up, my buttercup-that's how you seem to play. thing is, you won't be with me-though you always get your way."

the excitement is gone and now she is just a pretty girl with a silly face. she said, "but baby, we made a promise; a promise to hang on!"

she took a breath, and said to herself, "now the wind is blowing blowing, and look at that; you're gone."

but stay strong she did, as she wouldn't let something like that mess up her ruffles.
staying at your best friends' house for four days. mandarin oranges, and promises of cupcakes. going to the movie theatre to see how to train your dragon in 3D. keeping the glasses afterwards. listening to old CDs. cleaning out her bedroom. wearing lace. doing your hair up in a bun. being inspired by movies like the blind side. listening to black and gold by sam sparro. silly jokes on the first day of april. chances. listening to music from the 90s while driving around a city. eating lots of chocolate and drinking apple cider in april.
my lovely friend beverley went on a trip to europe. before she left, she gave me a playlist that doubled as an acrostic poem. tell me if you can figure it out!

it's really cute and funny

dark chocolate for breakfast every day. i get to have a short break. it's nice. i'll wear lots of dresses. my hands are cold. i miss things. i'm planning on sleeping at my friend's house for the weekend. her family is wonderful. she makes me glitter books.
i am in a choir class and we watched RENT. i was extremely happy about it. I can't watch that movie too many times. It's beautifully structured. I wish I saw more movies. I have a list of movies that I want to see. suggestions?
i listen to a lot of nevershoutnever! i also listen to a lot of slow club, and michael buble. i've been having many hopeful moments lately.

the dollhouse on my dresser is lonely without anyone living in it.

i've got the world on a string

the hotel room was cold and i couldn't fall back asleep. i listened to jazz for three days straight.
cake and cookies for lunch. dark chocolate for breakfast. reuniting with a childhood friend. or two. making silly faces.

books with glitter. books with glitter that are about me. deciding to go on a first date.

let's go fishing(for compliments)

so many sweets. too many sweets. is that possible? i think not!
i wish we could be a couple. we'd be a gosh darn great one. relationships are easy, yet difficult. i feel like i could prove that relationships are somehow a paradox. but i'd rather just let things be, and not go into that. i got the advice to think of something that I like, or a moment that is fresh in my mind; and think about it + pretend that moment is happening again. the thing is, i already do that, night and day. sometimes i'm living in a dream.
i dyed my hair. you can see it in the last two pictures with my team. oh, how i love improv. and curly hair.
what is the cutest story you can think of? preferably a personal experience. write it below in the comments! thank you so much! i love cute stories. i also like cute relationships.

tuck me into bed.

you and me forever; let's fall back in love

him and i. we were alone in that house. all we knew were building blocks, bed sheets, and blueberries. it was all we had ever heard. then came the day of discovery, and we were whisked away into a place made for the two of us, that only we could visit and see.

i have made the decision that I will no longer wish for you. you are worth more than wishful thinking.
i make cupcakes quite a lot. i like eating decadent desserts. i like plastic jewelry, chocolate chip pancakes, pillows, beards, scarves, nail polish, heels, and sisterhood. last night i fell asleep to the sound of rain.

biology hearts - slow club
there is no good way to say i'm leaving you - slow club
let's fall back in love - slow club
because we're dead - slow club
it doesn't have to be beautiful - slow club
i really like slow club.

one day you'll say I was the one

i'll always love you, and want you too. how much; you'll never know. most of all, i miss you so.
I looked through the children's books in my room. I read the book Red Is Best. I always loved that one. I read The Littlest Mermaid, The New Colours, Busy People, Dinofours, and more! I need to go to the Library as soon as possible and sit in the children's section for hours and just read. I miss Madeline.
This upcoming weekend is full of birthdays and secrets. The past weekend was full of love and support. I want a cupcake.

i was a flower fairy princess.

i want to go swimming.

i've eaten so many cupcakes recently, it is ridiculous. i like making them with friends. i like eating them at parties. i like the rings that come on top of the ones you can buy in the stores. i have a few heart ones now. and one with ariel from the little mermaid on it!

i love singing in the hallways. i love singing wherever i go. even if i'm not so good, i love singing. gospel, disney songs, folk songs, pop songs, anything. making videos with friends. quoting song lyrics.
I've Got To Tell You - Dr. Dog
She Loves You - The Beatles
I Only Have Eyes For You - The Penguins
i have a small part in Chicago. my school is putting it on. although my part is not that big, i love it a lot! it's fun to get into it. but, i know that in the end, my voice is going to be gone.

you're solid gold, you're a fabulous bold!

i made delicious lemon cupcakes with my friend romana. i have been watching a lot of horror and thriller movies lately. but nothing is like watching Now and Then again. It's one of my favourites. I also took an amazing decadent shower with a homemade chocolate exfoliator. It is my new obsession.

i went to a fantastic sale recently! i got a beautiful blue slip. I also went to a vegan cafe, and had a delicious burger. I don't know that many places that are strictly vegan.

have you ever thought about romancing yourself? self love is super important, and Gala Darling (galadarling.com) is now making February Radical Self Love month. i'm super excited about this. I really want to love myself. All parts of myself. My improv-team self, my drama kid self, my family self, my dancer self, my school friends self, my best friends best friend self, and most importantly, myself when i am alone.
