Lowly Saturdays with Nowhere to Go

BWAHAHAHA DO YOU PEOPLE REALLY THINK THAT I ACTUALLY HAVE THE ENERGY AFTER SCHOOL TO SET UP MY TRIPOD ANYMORE?

Hey all! Happy belated Valentine's Day! Was love in the air for you this week? I came home after school on Monday to this wonderful surprise waiting for me:

From Mr. Samuel, we named the bear Bilbo and he lives on my bed currently <3

Well despite that, I think up here in the Twin Cities we're all suffering a bit from seasonal disorder. The weather is extraordinarily fluctuating, snowstorm one day and 50 degree sun the next. I try to keep myself entertained as best I can, my attention span somewhat requires that I be running around doing things consistently during the daylight hours. But I won't put on a tough face for you guys, seeing as this is my blog and I get all my complaining out on here so I'm not a sour puss with my friends. SCHOOL IS HAAAARD DX. Chemistry is progressively getting more and more difficult, it's safe to say that math is not my strong suit. But now I've got meself a three day weekend! I best enjoy it :D Hopefully I'll be going on a thrifting extravaganza later today with my bestie, and go on a prance with myself if the weather permits (prance = a walk with excessive twirling and skipping along the street). Nevertheless, I have made time for tea parties with my Hello Kitty dolls, which is always a stress reliever:

But I think I've yet to tell you guys I'm in another musical for this spring, and guess what we're doing??? LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS!

For those who are unfamiliar with the show, it centers on poor, nerdy Seymour, who is employed at a business-deserted flower shop on the sad and dirty streets of a dark place called Skid Row. There he works alongside girl-of-his dreams Audrey, a ditzy but sweet flower arranger with heart-wrenchingly low self-esteem and an abusive dentist boyfriend. Right as it seems that the shop will have to go out of business, Seymour discovers a strange little plant during a total eclipse and promptly puts it in the window display (naming it Audrey II after the woman he secretly adores). The plant immediately begins attracting a slew of customers to the little shop, and Seymour becomes its caretaker. However, water and plant food seem to have no effect on the strange fly-trap like Audrey II, and Seymour is ordered to find out what keeps it alive. After an incident involving the cutting of his finger, he is quick to learn that what the little plant feeds on is human blood. He decides that in order to keep his job he will be the provider of its food, and lets the plant drink from his own finger. Audrey II begins to grow, though, and soon becomes a deep-voiced, R&B singing human-trap who claims that he will only be satisfied if Seymour finds him people to eat. The show quickly becomes a fast-paced, cartoony, dark-comedy with hilarious dialogue and wild numbers. The movie is available on netflix and I would highly recommend it!

In the show I am an ensemble member overall, but also play a dental assistant, a backup dancer to the sadistic dentist Orin, Audrey's abusive boyfriend, who became a dentist specifically so that he could cause people pain. We've started work on it for a few weeks now, and I'm very excited for it all to come together over the next two months.

That's all I've really got, it's a nice looking day out and I think I'll head outside.

Peace, yo
