Last night was the Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken concert at Arco Arena. I went with Liz (you're awesome!) and it was sooooooo much fun. The opening act was the Beu Sisters and I think I might buy their CD because they're pretty good...Anyhoo, Kelly was good. I was hoping she wasn't going to sing "Miss Independent" or "A Moment Like This" though because those songs are so overplayed...Well she did but the other songs she sang from her CD were my favorites so I was happy! ^^ And then...*drum roll* came CLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His entrance was so awesome...He entered from the audience! My friend Stephanie who went was going to the restroom and she saw him getting ready to enter and she was, like, 5 feet away from him. OMG! Anyhoo, he was awesome...BUT HE DIDN'T SING "THIS IS THE NIGHT".......I was so mad! I thought he would, seeing as how Kelly sang "A Moment Like This"...And he didn't sing Liz's fave song "Touch"...but he DID sing all of his other awesome songs and it was so much fun listening to him because I love him! I even got a t-shirt and poster. Woohoo!

Now the tragedy...

The concert ended at 10:30...As soon as it was over, Liz and I ran out to where the tour busses were and where Kelly and Clay would come out of the backstage area. We were waiting for them and soon a crowd gathered. It was around 11:00 I think when these drunk guys started causing this huge fight and all this problem shit that the cops came so lots of people left after that but Liz and I stayed. We waited...and waited...and waited...I swear it was almost 30 degrees outside or something cuz it was cold and the security guards just stood there making sure none of us "got out of hand"...Well, around 11:00 though Jacob came out. Jacob is one of the backup singers. He's done backup for loads of famous people before. Liz and I started calling to him and we didn't think he'd come over because although we were up front, we were farther away than the crowd opposite us...BUT HE CAME OVER! And we talked with him for a bit, shook his hand (I started the trend!), and told him he'd be famous and we'd be the first to get tickets to his concert. I swear, he was so awesome!

So where was I? Oh yes...now it's around 11:30, still freezing cold (poor Liz she had flip-flops on...T_T), and there was about a third of the original crowd that was there...All of the crew and band were getting on the tour bus now, getting ready to go so we figured Kelly and Clay would be coming out soon. So we waited. About 5 or 10 minutes before midnight we saw a white van with tinted windows drive into the backstage area and come out a little before midnight and it just drove off after the tour bus.

Kelly and Clay were gone.

They left in the white van. They didn't even wave bye or anything. They just...left.

OMG LIZ AND I WERE PISSED OFF...................WE WAITED A LITTLE MORE THAN 2 HOURS FOR CLAY TO JUST EVEN COME OUT AND WE WERE ONE OF THE FEW REMAINING FANS WAITING AND IT WAS COLD AND WE HAD SCHOOL THE NEXT DAY (today) AND I HAD A CAMPAIGN SPEECH TO GIVE EVEN AND WE WERE TIRED...

Total, we got 4 hours of sleep. I was in such a bad mood this morning until I got my Snapple at break. It had caffeine. Caffeine is good. Although I fell asleep in some classes...Luckily the people I sat around were nice about it. Good thing.

The concert overall was awesomely phenomenal but I'm pissed that Kelly and Clay would just leave like that when there were not that many of us out there.

Sigh, but enough about that...the concert rocked though!

Janelle and I gave our speech for Class Historian today...It was fun! I think we did a good job. People seemed to like it. Well, we vote on Monday...Continue wishing us luck! I'll laugh if we win because our campaign was so weird...But it'd be cool if we won!

Well I better go finish this Work Cited stuff and GO TO SLEEP because I'm still tired...Adios, au revoir, and ttyl!

You stand there like it’s any day

You talk on about his life

You tell me that these things are tragic

And that I’ll heal in time

But all this suffering all this fighting

You keep telling me

Chorus:

That it’s all for the sake of the Order

All for some stupid order I don’t believe in

All for the sake of the order

What happened to the sake of my sanity?

You tell us that his cause was noble

That he died an innocent

That he could have been saved

And that what he did set him free

From all his suffering all his fighting

And that he died

Chorus:

All for the sake of the Order

All for some stupid order he chose to believe in

All for the sake of the Order

Why did he have to die in vain?

Your words make no sense

You go on about how he loved life

He loved me

And that his sacrifice

Can save million everywhere but so far

There’s more death than life

Chorus:

But it’s all for the sake of the Order

All for some stupid order you chose to fight for

All for the sake of the Order

What happened to all of us here who are dying?

All for the sake of the order

What happened to the pain of my mourning?

Well gotta go now...I'm posting those three songs on my website later! Adios, au revoir, and ttyl!

We had Workshop for our Shakespeare scene today. It was also the first time we'd be showing out scene to Melissa. So naturally Janelle and I wanted it to be as good as it was at auditions. O. M. G. OK I'm not mad at our scene but the first time we ran through it today..............What was that??? Everything just went wrong. I've never seen us do our scene so...beginners-level. I was apalled. And it was embarassing, really. From the expression on Melissa and Zhani's faces...The second time we ran through it was better but overall...OMG I don't know what to say. Like I said, I'm not mad at the people in our scene. I'm just shocked at what happened onstage today. Maybe it was just the fact we haven't practiced at all this week. Or I dunno. Janelle and I blame ourselves. As directors, we feel responsible for not scheduling practice. But I understand people were probably having off days...I mean, we all have them, no?

So Dad was messing with the computer today...He deleted a bunch of IMPORTANT files and now our computer is doing weird things. That's just peachy...Geez it's annoying...

Well nothing much more to say...Adios, au revoir, and ttyl!

Then Janelle and I picked up our applications for Class Council. We're running for Historians together. I hope we win...

After school was auditions for Advanced Drama. OK so you know how I changed my monologue last night? Which I now realize it was a baaaaaad thing to do. (But I memorized it quick, so I was okay with that.) So I went 5th for auditions. I walked in, handed them the form they had me fill out about past drama experiences, etc. and they asked me some questions about the productions I've been in. So then I introduced myself and my monologue and started. I skipped a line or two, but that's okay. After I was done I was excited. So I thought, "Is that it? Good..." But then they asked me to perform my monologue as if I was a famous snooty actress. So I did, messing up a bit as I went along. Then they asked me to perform it as a person who didn't really care, which was complete opposite of my original character. So I did, again messing up a bit here and there. Then they asked me my character's intentions and reasons and I did well explaining that cuz they were smiling afterwards. Then I was done. I hear they're only cutting two people. I think I'm on that list. I dunno. The results are out Thursday. Sigh...

On top of that the even MORE stress of Cienna. I think Manda's about to go crazy. She was really getting annoyed today at lunch. Apparently, Mo had to sort of tell her off.

So that was my day. Some good, some bad...Zoe wasn't at school so I couldn't give her the magnets...And Rachel and Manda were pretty supportive after school about my monologue while I was freaking out. And so was Natalie. Well, gotta go now. Adios, au revoir, and ttyl!
