One down, two to go.
We rocked it tonight, and since this is our first performance we have nowhere to go but up.
Currently I am completely overwhelmed with love for my people. We've been through so much together- three productions, a remodel, trips to the sushi bar, and a whole ton of uncertainty. But we are the greatest group of people I know. Seriously, you guys, my stomach is completely sick with emotion. It's one of those love-someone-so-much-it-hurts kind of feelings.
We're going on our annual Sushi Excursion tomorrow. I love these people.

A Birthday Post
Spring Break has sprung and I may begin my ten days of not caring about anything at all. It's about time.
My first official act of fun was to surprise Suspicious Water Bottle for her birthday which was last week. De-Facto Mongolian Sweetheart, Russian Frisbee Player, myself, and others gathered with cake, balloons, and old movies ahead of time to assure that we wouldn't be caught off guard should our dear SWB decide to be early for once.
She wasn't early. Actually, she was half an hour late. That worked out just fine for us. Pizza was eaten and cake was devoured before I remembered that SWB has never had a birthday party.
We threw this girl the first birthday bash she has ever experienced in fifteen years of living on this earth.
Hopefully there will be more to come. Hopefully she won't judge our efforts when she finally realizes how lame we all are.

There's No Place Like Home
Last night wrapped up the greatest two months of my life so far. Charlotte's Web is over. I don't quite know what to do with myself.
I am so so proud to be a part of Duchesne Theater. I really feel like I have made a home here over the past two years, and the friends I have made will stay my friends for life. We are just the most wonderful family. Sometimes I think about what my life would be like now if I didn't have this beautiful thing in my life, and I know how horribly sad and changed and different I would be. My heart is so full of love for each and every person who was with me on that stage this weekend.
So to my beauties, thank you. We have gone through so much together and I am so very proud of all of us. A few of us may be going out into The World next year, and to those people I give all of the love in my heart. I just want you to know that once you set foot in Duchesne Theater, you will never truly leave. You will always have a home here-remember that.
Thank you all for a fantastic show and for being such a huge part of my life. I love every one of you with my whole heart.

For Love of Moles
My Chemistry teacher is crazy. In a good way. She is a very loud and interesting human being. I usually think she's adorable, the only problem is that I never understand any of the words that come out of her mouth. I am not math-and-science oriented the way some people are.
Anyway, this woman- Mrs. Molesky, we shall call her, is rather obsessed with The Mole. For those of you who never took chemistry or don't remember any of it, a Mole is defined as
6.02 x 10^23 atoms' worth of a particular thing. Basically, it's a chemist's dozen. A molesworth of any element is equivalent to the atomic mass of that element. Whatever. I have probably made your brains hurt with all of that science information, so I'm just going to start talking about the party. Every year on October 23 (10^23, remember?), chemists celebrate Mole Day. I guess it's kind of a big deal.
As part of the festivities, Mrs. Molesky is having us make our own moles-the ugly, blind, underground-dwelling creatures-in the likeness of our favorite mole-related bad puns. As a Potterhead, I chose to go with Moledemort. De-Facto Mongolian Sweetheart and Suspicious Water Bottle both came over to have pizza and construct our little critters. Moledemort, Bob the ToMoletoe, and the NarMole all turned out fabulously. What a wonderful night it was, three friends sprawled on the living room floor, constructing small mammals in the name of science.
I love my life.

Today In History...
I was birthed by none other than The Management. I am really glad it was her and not someone completely crazy. If she were not my mother, I wouldn't have gotten a wonderful and fantastic blog post dedicated especially to me. Either that or I wouldn't have been born...that would be problematic, I think. Here is the post of which I speak:
http://beckercaribbeanconnection.blogspot.com/2011/09/glitter-in-my-life.html
My day was simply splendid. Father Steinbecker and I biked up to Our Second Home for a mocha and a pumpkin cranberry muffin and then on to Hogwarts. It's a lucky thing that I didn't brung a lunch box...for some obscure reason everyone decided to make me delicious baked goods. I did not complain. Shout out to De-Facto Mongolian Sweetheart for the cupcakes and Suspicious Water Bottle for the pillow plate.
Also, and I think this is most surely worth noting, something wonderful happened yesterday. I GOT A LETTER FROM TRISH. A real live letter- in the mail and everything! It was so exciting. I definitely broke down and cried in the doorway. I miss her so much, and it was stupendous to know that she is doing well.
Rehearsals are going to be really tiring. Wilbur does a lot of jumping around. Doing so in a
long flowy dress today made me feel like I was frolicking in a meadow, which is an extremely pleasant sensation.
Today was also bettered by the fact that I received beautiful golden snitch pendant from The Management and a bottle of glitter from the always lovely and hilarious CKor.
Not much room for improvement today, folks.

Oink Oink
I can't remember if I mentioned this or not, but Charlotte's Web auditions were Friday. I was über nervous, but all went well and I got called back to read Goose, Templeton, and Wilbur. Those were alright but I didn't think it was that spectacular. De-Facto Mongolian Sweetheart read a beautiful Charlotte, SWB did some stellar barnyard animal impressions, and Baby Carrot gave quite the wonderful Fern reading.
And so we waited for two days. For the past 48 hours I have been almost as anxious as I've been for the past two months, waiting for my Pottermore email to arrive (it hasn't. But that's for another blog). Anyway, this day has been pretty rough on all of our nerves.
Particularly study hall, which came at the tail end of the day- right before the email was set to come out. It was one of those times where I had absolutely no idea what to do with my hands.
But the wait is over.
SWB: one of two lovely little lambs
Baby Carrot: Fern (uh, like, DUH)
De-Facto Mongolian Sweetheart: Charlotte (SO PROUD, she is vunderful)
Me: Wilbur.
I'm definitely thrilled, but also kind of nervous as to whether I can handle it. I'm pretty sure I can, and Father Steinbecker must think I can because if he didn't, I wouldn't be posting this right now.
It's just good to get the anxiety overwith. I can sleep in peace now.

Sparkly, Magic, Crazy, Golden Friendship
You ever loved somebody so infinitely much that it makes you smile and cry at the same time?
I do. Yeah, you're jealous.
De-Facto Mongolian Sweetheart, Suspicious Water Bottle, I Love George, and I had a last hurrah with my dearest dearest Lil' Newton. On Wednesday she makes a six hour drive to Saint Olaf in Minnesota so she can be all smart and get a degree in Biology. I admire her for her willingness to even go near that subject with a ten-foot pole. But then again, I admire her for a lot of things. And I could go into very thorough detail about all of them...but my fingers would probably fall off. Anyway, what you really need to know is that she is the smartest, sweetest, most magical, twirly, warm, kind, and utterly wonderful and magical frolicking buddy I have ever had the pleasure of skipping through the hallways with. And the best part is that I can pick her up and spin her around. It's quite a thrill, let me tell you.
So, Lil' Newton, thank you for one whole wonderful year of being my dearest friend. I cannot possibly use enough superlatives to accurately describe you. I hope that you have the time of your life in The World, and that you remember to come see me. I promise that I won't let your parents get too lonely-I will talk about cows with your dad and go produce shopping with your mother. I love you so much-and thanks for the cupcakes.
