Thoroughly Ghetto Millie

It's over! My play closed last Sunday and I'm almost fully recovered. I'm still a bit stuffy and coughy, but I've caught up on my sleep and can live through the withdrawals of seeing this cast every day. To give you some perspective, I see either of my parents every day for up to 5 weeks at a time. I saw these 30 people almost every day for ELEVEN WEEKS. I cried with them, laughed with them, complained, cuddled, stressed, sang, danced, even went to church with them once. Somehow, we put on what some people called the best show STK has put on.

I wish I could document everything I loved that happened over the last 11 weeks. Things such as

-Getting dressed in the guys dressing room before I found a place to change.

-Friday and Saturday show quartet sung to me in surround sound by Courtney, Carl, and Leo

-Helping Kelsey get ready for prom on Friday

-The line to hug me after I broke down, then Leo cutting that line to hug me

-Adventure to Charles's house

-Everyone loving me more than Ashley

-Getting in the cart for Maddy and Daws

-Jeremy at the piano

-Ghetto-rigging the curtain

-Seeing the sophomores and eighth-graders in the show in the halls

-The epic first Tower. Tower, Twisted, getting kicked out of Wendy's and sitting in Charles' car, then Leo driving me home

-Using Haley's and Kaitlyn's phones as candles for our romantic tech week dinners

-Church with the cast (and running late with Courtney)

-Riding home with Katherine and telling her my life

-The Wobble

-The ALCove

-Ganging up on Erica

-The moment Carli joined our side against Kristi

-Notes sessions with Leo

-Convincing a giant group of actors that they had to stay in rehearsal an hour later when they in fact were getting out early. I win.

-"Somebody get that girl a water bottle!"

-Anti-joke contests

--See whose joke offends Erica so much she leaves

--Francesca doesn't know who Helen Keller is

--Daws's face when Tom Robinson walked past as he was about to tell a black joke

-Hacking Jack's facebook with the guys

-When Leo called my mom to ask if I could go to Tower

-Painting the stage with Courtney, Kelsey, and Kelle then bonding with Jacobs and Petrie

-The small Tower night in which Leo, Carl, Courtney, and I caught Kelle up on our drama

-The Cast Party

--Riding with Courtney, Kelsey, and Charles to Chalmette, then food, truth or dare, pool, hot tub, pool(volleyball), hot tub, pool(getting untangled), hot tub(Cassanova...), pool, hot tub, food, ghost story, 3am

So that's it. Now you might understand how I didn't have time to blog.
