Finally Ethan Wakes Up.

Allister is in trouble and we finally have a new character where all they show is their hands. "A Murder Is Announced!" should be a party we hold in honor of Passions and every comes as a character.

Holiday Spirit

Merry Christmas!

So for my b-day or belated christmas present someone should get me the soundtrack to Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe.

I Love You Jello Llama!

Kate/Jessica...Passions is truely addicting.

Things I have to say about one of the funniest shows on television.
Run Tabitha! Run!
Die Gwen! Die!
Teresa please stop crying.
Poor Noah and Fancy.
and I really do not understand the whole thing about the drunk girl other than they got her back from the pimp.

Eveyone should take about 10 minutes and watch these 2 amazing slide shows.

I should stop posting pictures purely out of spite...but then who would read my blog?

1. Sarah laughing about something (obviously)
2. Sarah trying to decide on candy (which took her forever!)
3. Matt and me with our abs of steel!
4. Matt really loves milk. (Anchor man: Milk was a bad choice!)
5. Elmo either attacking my neck or giving me a hickey. You decide.
6. Yay for colored sweatshirts!
7. Amy being emo supposedly. I love the way Kevin is looking at her.
8. We are a bad influence on Patrick.
9. Jessica and the amazing hat!
10. Cheers.
11. Phil...well...being Phil.

Because she really really likes the pictures

Halloween:




Bethany and Jenn



Jessica the Ninja!



Lauren the Fairy vs. Jessica the Ninja



The Halloween Gang!

Is this a sign of insanity?

I have been studying for finals all night and now I am starting to respond to commercials.
Commercial: What would you do for love this Christmas?
Me: Would you kill a man?

Commercial: ...Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.
Me: I hope you fall out and die!

Commercial: (talking about the OC) It will take one friend to make it a holiday they won't soon forget.
Me: One of them is really an alien from tralfamadore!

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe was truely AWESOME!

I LOVED IT! I did not think I would, I thought I was going to be frustrated with how nothing fit the whole time, but it was perfect, they followed the book extremely well. Good job to people who actually follow author's intention. I am actually excited for all the rest of the movies now.

Funny Quotes From Conference

This one is a lot like one last year. (I was in Jessica/Casey/Amanda/Casey's room with Jessica, Amy opens the door.)
Voice (I assume to be someone from Mt. Vista): What is going on in there?
Austin: Hot Sex.
(I would later find out it was Amy's new boyfriend)

(Walking to the door to check on Amy in the hall and make sure her 2 of her new "friends" knew that there was a guy in the room behind her. They were talking about the girls from Mt. Vista because one of the guys wanted to find some girls for his friends (now you know why I was being protective)).
Amy (askin one of the guys): So you want me to talk to one of my girl friends for you?
Random guy: No, its okay, I like guys.
(It was at this unfortunate moment I opened the door just barely hearing the last sentence.)
**Strange Silence**
Me: Um, Amy, I am going to go get some ice. I'll be back.

(Note: Jessica had been hit on by this guy at the dance (while I wasn't watching!). On the bus about to go home.)
Debbie: Hey Jessica, some guy told me to give you this!
(Jessica opens the note and it has a guys number on it.)
Everyone on the bus: **aw/oh Jessica/JC your a pimp**
Me: What is the name?
Jessica: Cooper.
Me: That was actually the guy Shannon was dancing with.
(Jessica hands the note to Shannon while everyone is laughing about the new discovery)
Jessica: Story of my life, Shannon gets the guy.

(Next few quotes dedicated to The Importance of Being Earnest, the longest show ever!)
Mr. Leydon: Yeah I left after intermission.
Me: Which intermission?
Mr. Leydon: Dear God, there was a 3rd act? How did you guys survive?

Debbie: Yeah I tried to kill myself 3 times in each act. That's 9 times!

Me: I am pretty sure this show is trying to kill us.

(Jessamyn was the funniest person to sit by during this show but I was laughing so hard at her comments I couldn't remember any others.)
Jessa: This show puts a severe damper on my will to live.

Colorado Thespian (Not Lesbian) Conference

So I am significantly tired. A whole lot of fun, in fact a ton. And I must begin with the biggest news first. We made MAIN STAGE!!!!!!!!!!! Explanation: We have something called IEs (Individual Events) in which we perform theatrical pieces. Main stage is where about 8 of the absolutely most crazy insane best actors in the state perform their pieces in front of the whole conference. And Collin and Dan are amazing and did Duet Musical "What You Own" from Rent and made it to MAIN STAGE!!! Our entire group went crazy!!!!! They sang/acted it flawlessly. Making main stage is like having your team win state. Anyways, I had my own IE which I did ("Over the Tavern" by Tom Dudzick) and I will now attempt to recall this conversation from memory...

**Memory Blury Sequence**
(Having just come back from the convention center I saw my theatre teacher "Mr. Goldson" in the hall of the Adams Mark on 16th mall.)
Goldson: Austin I need to talk to you about your monologue. (grabs my sleeve and pulls me into the room.)
Austin: I know, I have been worrying about it all day, I screwed it up because I made to large of a shift in my levels too quickly.
Goldson: I thought you did great.
Austin: No, I screwed it up.
Goldson: I don't think so. (Starts filing through folder with all of our results. And pulls out a Superior Award Certificate) (quick explaining: Ranking system in increasing order: Fair, Good, Excellent, Superior.)
Austin:**senseless blabbering about how I didn't believe it and how happy I was while barely holding back tears**
Goldson: Congradulations!
Austin: Thank you! (X1000) (I think I nearly killed him when I hugged him because I lifted him off the ground [he is kind of short] and did not put him down for like 5 seconds.)
**Memory Fading Sequence**

I got a Superior Rating, which is amazing and not too easy to get. The only other people to get it this year was Collin and Dan. I get my picture up on the wall of Distinquished Thespians at my school (which is a funny because everyone makes crazy faces). It is like going to quarter or semi-finals or something. The amazing Jessica got one last year but she was not quite as crazy because she loves trying to convince people she isn't good at acting. I am bragging on this because I did not want to be a brat at conference. Okay, I got that out of my system. No one really wants to listen to me descirbe in length conference so I am just going to say it was fun.

p.s. Brittany Burklin also got a Superior Rating and almost made main stage so congradulate her.
p.s.s. Jessica/Collin/Jessa/Shannon/Ely/Amy all did amazing with their auditions to colleges and most got called back to about 10 colleges for scholarships or acceptance to theatre programs.
