on friday i babysat holly, rebekah, and david wilson and i got $30 and it was great fun. when i got home it was discovered that aunt jenny, rachel, luke, and morgan had all appeared in the night. it was also great fun.
on saturday we went to nomadic notions and cosmic closet because moondance was closed. we also went to some other places (bookstar, starbucks) but hardly anything was open so. and we forgot to go to maggie's farm. we came home and i had a stomach ache (as i have had for like a million years, refer to previous posts) but dad physically forced me to go to our first rehearsal for Synesthaesisa.a.aga. however it happens to be spelled. anyway it was a good time. katherine and zoë were there. so we all introduced ourselves (yes. AGAIN!) with kimberly's name game thing and uhm. we stretched and warmed up and did some improv (my very very LEAST favorite part, along with katherine's) and then we actually started the dance. kimberly sort of does things as she goes along and makes things up and. well i guess how choreographers do their thingie isnt it. the point is. i am a WATER TONE THINGIE which means i am in a group with katherine (silver) zoë (royal blue) and tracy and no one told her what color she was so kimberly made up that she is light blue. and i was just told your plain old generic 'green' and really i dont think i even fit in that category but i couldnt go with the fire tones (morgan, who is pink, mac, who is red, and sylvia who is yellow) or the stone color thingies (claire who is emerald, sonja who is purple, and brad who is chocolate brown) so really there was nowhere else for me to go. and kimberly is just pretending that i am sea foam green type so that i will blend with them but i dont feel like that really. akhgaha katherine said i'm like the green at our school and kimberly was like 'no i dont think she's Spartan Green' and it was funny. and uhm. yes. so we get to dance round with scarves even though theyre not completey accurate. like katherine had to use a bright blue scarf and i had to use this horrifying neon green. it's kind of funny because our group is like pretty pale blue, bright blue, dark blue, BIG EVIL NEON GREEN. and anyway. rehearsal went well. and it even made my stummy stop hurting. so uh. then we came home. and uh. after like 15 minutes we went to turtle's and we spent a while (dad said it was an hour but i dont think it was that long) looking around and i hadnt even GOTTEN to the used section yet but they made me stop. and i was so terribly confused, i'd picked up a few things but i wanted a case so i put back the cds and just got a new case. i was going to get the case and a $10 cd by the start but i went asdkglkshaoeihagskl and i couldnt remember if i liked the song suddenly. anyway. after that we came home and uhm. i made mom, dad, and jenny go out to eat so they did and we ordered pizza and watched buffy the vampire slayer (the movie) and buffy the musical (the tv show) and in the middle of that the parentals came home and then we put on mallrats and then dogma and oh my it was a lot of movies. at some point mom and jenny went to bed. and i was of course rearranging my cds in their little cases. and luke went to bed as SOON as dogma ended but morgan and rachel and i watched the special features.
and meanwhile dad was (apparently) attacking my blog and being an evil evil little man.
holy crap morgan just stole my cheez-its.
on sunday dad wakes me up at like... 1pm something because we have a 2:30 rehearsal. i swear during a show, the show is ALL he worries about. look look this happened on friday::
dad: *calls me from work* how are you feeling
me: ungood.
dad: are you gonna be able to make it to rehearsal tomorrow?
me: ... DAD! YOU HAVE BAD PRIORITIES
dad: no i dont i'm just concious!
me: you didnt even mention my babysitting thing tonight
dad: i forgot about that.
and thereby i probably hung up or something and mutterd somethign along the lines of 'concious my ass.'
anyway i had a piece of leftover pizza and i got dressed and then we left. rehearsal was basically the same thing except that claire wasnt there this time but sonja and brad were. which is kinda funny because theyre all in the same group. and uh. we warmed up on the bar that time and it felt like we did more improvisation than the first time but maybe thats just me. kimberly added on to the dance and we got to go swoosh swoosh with our scarves. she told us a little bit about how the performance is going to go. one part of the stage (fairly small, i think, considering) is going to be the 'reality area' where the actors do their acting. theres only like. 4 or 5 characters. the main character guy (a synesthete) is played by andy and the rest of the stage portrays his mind. so like when he's seeing certain colors we will be doing stuff on the rest of the stage. and then dan is playing andy in his mind. so like when andy sees himself in his mind he'll be dan, more graceful and dancing and whatnot. and the Terrors (of which my father is one. and some more older men) will be tormenting andy guy in his mind. right.
and the colors will be wearing all black and we're supposed to wear one little piece of our color that we can take off. like a bandana or piece of cloth something attached to like our leg or something. ahagha as long as we can get it off. and then when we're not on stage i think we're supposed to sort of melt into the audience and i guess they arent supposed to be sure who is who because we'll be without our colors. you know it'll be like we're sort of anonymous.
so the dance we're working on right now has all the colors in it but we stay in our groups and do seperate things in the dance with our group. and we get to dance around with scarves that are (supposed to be) our color. i think i mentioned that a moment ago. anyway the point is we're supposed to be dancing and making this big show with our scarf color and people will obviously say 'oh that person is spartan green' or whatever and then we're going to rid ourselves of the scarves and keep dancing and then they'll see that we are not JUST the scarves and we have that little piece of whatever on us someplace. anyway. it's cool so far. except for the damn improv. (which is kind of funny because OOV is eternally known for improvisation greats)
