As you can see there are still blanks, because I know the person who plays the character by face, but not by name.


Second update is why I'm not choreographer. Apparently (according to McCarthy) I said I didn't want to, when she didn't ask me. Regardless, I think that I should be doing choreo, because I am part of a professional dance company and have an extensive background (which now includes a choreographer's certificate!)..... And I'm going to shut up about this now because I will look like this:


Third update about the play... Well, it's not about the play. It's more like who came to visit that made the improvers in the play go apeshit.... I'll start by giving hints.
Hint 1. Writes blogs
Hint 2. Goes to college in Red Deer


No guesses yet?


Okay here's the final hint
Goes by Dell, or Ginndi




Yup! It was Glenndl!




Needless to say that this was in the middle of a read through... like I said APESHIT!!!!!


So here's what happened. Middle (more like 1/3rd) of the way through the read through, I hear the door open and I'm like meh, it's someone who's returning from the loo and I refocus on the lines, (keep in mind I'm the furthest person from the door and I can't see down the little hallway). Anyways, as I'm putting my head down, out of the corner of my eye I see Heidi give this wave and Skylar practically toss his script to the floor and run towards this person. Now, I'm thinking, who in hell would Skylar get up and hug? So I get Heidi's attention and I mouth, who is it? She mouths back Glenndl, and a light bulb goes off. GLENNDL! That's who Skylar would hug! And Glenndl brought a friend with him, who creepily looks like Bradley Hamilton but taller.


We also were visited by Sean, former alumni/improver/actor. He along with Glenndl ran an improv work shop, which turned out to be craziness like usually. Here's a run down of what happened, Liam got a list of banned words, I got creeped on, Heidi became a creep. Basically fun times!


Then this week one of my best friends came to visit from the capital. She ended up surprising me on Monday by showing up at Mary's. Needless to say we had an awesome week while she was here just spending time together!


So for more updates on the play... We've had 3 injuries so far and God knows how many potential injuries. The first injury was a concussion, second was a split lip and the third was falling on a shoulder. So the first injury was mine, partly of my making, partly of Liam's. We were practicing part of act 2 and McCarthy needed a body to be dragged in, so I volunteered. So the lovely Gina is dragging me in and gently hits me in the stomach with a fluffy club, then Liam (under McCarthy's direction) takes the club, and whaps me in the head. And Liam, not knowing his strength, whaps me a little too hard. I felt fine at the time, just slight dizziness,  but I laughed it off and continued with the scene. Later that night, rather 1/2 an hour after, I was in a meeting for my Europe trip. I started to feel nauseous and my head was pounding and I couldn't focus on objects. I thought I was imagining things so I didn't bring it up to my parents. Next morning, I woke up and was for lack of a better word, acting drunk. I couldn't walk without bracing myself on the wall and my head was killing me. Went to the doctor and he said I had a slight concussion, told me not to dance or do any forms of exercise until further notice and hopped me up on morphine. I was pretty much out of it the rest of the day, all I remember is having people say are you okay and being terrified of Liam. As for the other injuries, I'm not 100% sure how they happened. All I know is that they happened.


And on a final note, I have 4 mottos this month. They are as follows:
1. Like a boss!
2. Chem sucks!!!!!!!
3. (Insert object/person's name here) is gonna kill me.
4. November 4 needs to get the eff here already.


And with that I leave you for another week!
