Thank God its Friday. I'm sure you can sympathize with that. My week has been stressful, to say the least. Today we finally performed after working nonstop for weeks.
This whole process began a few weeks ago, when the scripwriters were finished with our script. The directors for this performance were right out of our class. Since we were apparently on a time crunch, they found it wise to skip auditions and just pick people for parts. I had expected them to automatically choose the most popular girls, as was protocall in the past. But to my great surprise, they actually chose me, one of the semi-well known girls. Of course, most of the others roles were filled by said populars, and it made me proud inside to know that I had gotten my role because of my abilities.
Of course, when they had seen my "abilities" it was during a mortifying presentation with my drama class in front of the entire highschool. We did the Secret Garden and I played Martha, the maid. Unfortunately, the directors insisted I use a Yorkshire accent. And that wasn't the worst of it. My costume was RIDICULOUS! I had to wear a frilly bonnet thing over my edgy layers, and let me tell you it did not look right. And during the performance, my mics fell off and i had to shout the rest of the song.
But i guess it wasn't as bad as i had thought.
Anyways, after i got picked, we began having rehersals. At first, we had them ever other day or so, but then, they were moved up to everyday, and then several times each day. Even when i wasn't rehersing i was off chasing after costumes and what not. But all the stress escalated to a bubbling boil this week. We have several HOURS of rehersing everyday, we had set painting, prop collecting, costume checking, it was almost too much! By Wednesday, the directors did more talking(or in their case, yelling) than we did. And to make it all worse, most of the boys could not concentrate for their lives. It was true mayhem. During our prop rehersal, i was beginning to wonder if we would get out of this alive. But alas, today came, and the instant we stepped out onto the stage something clicked. Our performance went off without a hitch. Everyone did exactly what they were supposed to, and in the end, the audience went wild. All the populars came over and gushed over my performance, but after a few minutes, the gushing stopped, and reality set in. Even though i had had a few moments of glory, i was still just a Normal. They didn't care about me. They had more important things to worry about. So, i went back to my group of friends, went back to how things had always been. Though i'd like to say it didn't bother me, it did. Who honestly doesn't want to be popular? I know that deep down inside, everyone want popularity, even if they won't admit it. I'm no different. But some of us are born as populars, and some of us, like me, have to scratch our way up the social totum pole. I'd say right now, i'm clinging somewhere in the middle, maybe a tad above the middle. But even my little sister has scratched qutie a bit higher than i have. That bothers me, too. Just today i saw her talking to this quy that i could never just walk up and talk to. What makes her so different from me? We look very much alike, we act the same, but for some reason, she's just that way. She has the IT factor of popularity. And it's beginning to look as if i may not. Oh well, there's still a few more weeks of school left. Anything could happen.

TTYL,
Jane

Here Goes Nothing....

So how does one start something like this? Should I write some dramatic intro? Should I plainly tell you every detail of my life? No, no, those things aren't really me.
I suppose i will begin by explaining this blog and my reasons for it.
The Blog itself is simply a collection of the events that happen in my life as a teenage girl. Fascinating, I know.
My reasons? Well, i guess this is a "creative outlet" of sorts. Its also a good place to vent, whether people enjoy reading it or not.

So now i guess there is a need to let you know a little about me.
1) I am currently 16 years old.
2) My name isn't actually jane. I just didn't want to use my real name and Jane was the first thing i thought of.
3) I know i may sound like it, but i'm not actually a nerd. I'm not some uber-popular, pinnacle of the social scene chick, but i have lots of friends.
4) In my freetime i enjoy acting, singing, reading, playing video games (but not a nerd), and facebooking :P

Lets see how this goes.
