Bad Luck Sandwich

So I find it funny and ironic that the one day of these past few days of my life that I haven't had bad luck was Friday the 13th.  Because Thursday the 12th I got a concussion.  I managed to keep myself out of trouble on Friday the 13th.  Saturday the 14th, (today) I locked my keys in the car at Burger King and had to walk to dress rehearsal.  Luckily, my school is very close to Burger King, so I didn't have to walk far.  I had to call the police after dress rehearsal and pay them $20 to break into my car since my parents don't tell me where the spare key or jumper cables are until I need them.

Anyway, as far as dress rehearsal- it went okay.  Certainly better than Cinderella of Loreland, the last play I was in- we didn't even make it through the whole play.  The main issues of my scenes were that people didn't know their lines. *Cough cough Greedo Graspo cough cough.*  The throwing scene went well- got a little tangled up in my cloak, but that's it.  (I have a cloak!!! And it's green!!! And awesome!!! And too long!!!)

Speaking of too long- that was the story of my life.  The costume shop did a shoddy job of costuming our play.  I heard that the costume shop let their apprentice do our show.  They will be getting a call from my drama teacher, let me tell you.  They just don't seem to believe that I really am 4'9".  They did make an effort to hem my skirt and I commend them for that, but we had to hem the hem in half- much like my servant girl costume.  I wear basically a nightshirt with a peasant neckline and long puffed sleeves (it's white) under a lace up vest, which is tan with green leaves and pinkish red flowers on it.  My skirt is green, and I have a green hooded cloak.  Do you know how epic cloaks make you feel?  Really epic, let me tell you.  I only get to wear it for scene 1, though, and the beginning of scene 2. *sad face* But scene 1 is really long *happy face*  So many of the princess' costumes are way too huge and don't look very princessy at all.  I feel bad for them.  They sent us a wig with a ponytail for the Beast- and a mustache/beard thing.  He looked like a bearded lady.  Graspo (my son-in-law) is upset because his costume looks like a dress.  He's had a lot of crummy costumes- I feel bad for him.  He was really upset about something today- though I'm not sure what.  He wouldn't tell me.

I have old-age makeup for this play.  I've never had it before, and it's certainly...interesting.  My hair is in one french braid down my head (my hair's real short, so we tuck the tail of the braid under the rest to hide it) and grayed.  I felt so tired today, and I joked that I could feel every one of the wrinkles on my face as tiredness.  I also got my first nose bleed- it wasn't bad- taking off my make up.  I have no idea how that happened. And yeah. That's about it.  I have to go edit a whole bunch of portfolios now.

Adios
