What is Love?
“Love is like oxygen. Love is a many splendored thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love!”
-Christian, Moulin Rouge
A few days ago a friend asked me how I would describe love.
That’s a really tough question. I haven’t answered him yet because I’m just not sure what to say. Honestly I don’t think you really can put it into words but….I’ll try. Love means something different to everyone. To some it’s lust and sex, to others, walking through the park at 87 with someone you’ve been with your whole life. The word itself is definitely underestimated and overused. For example, I love caramel macchiatos, or I love my iPod. If you really think about it, it just doesn’t make sense. I guess to me, love is more than a feeling. There’s more to it than that ache deep within you, more than your heart stopping momentarily. To me love is something much much more. Love is dying ((on the cross)) for someone who might decide to turn their back on you. Love is unconditional, everlasting, and unfathomable. Love here on earth isn’t even a teensy glimpse of the great depths that the love Christ has for us is. Love is indescribable.
Good Night.
Well I am exhausted. Christmas Eve at The Orchard was incredible….what else would you expect? We did Wizards in Winter by the Trans Siberian Orchestra with lights and smoke and the whole nine yards. It was awesome.
Well I hope you all have an amazinly wonderful Christmas and keep your focus straight tomorrow.
I’m off to bed. ((I already fell asleep with Naomi earlier and became the subject of much paparazzi who apparently thought it was adorable))
Disappointment, Excitement, and a New Blog
I have been hopelessly and sickeningly stingy with the blog lately as I’m sure you would agree but anywho, in other news, I didn’t make the musical (I am on 3 tech crews though), Christmas is only in 5 days now!!!, and the youth group is getting their own blog! Administered by the one and only Ben Hammond the Great. Come check us out!

peace.
Auditions Part Tres
Dancing went really great. We only had 5 minutes to learn a whole dance, 8 minutes to practie it, and then we had to perform it. I thought I did pretty good though! I will find out in a few minutes if I got a callback or not.
Audtions Part 2
Today went considerably better. I’m very glad. Monologue went smooth and my scene was with Tommy and Griffen who are both incredible actors so that made me look even better.
Hopefully things will even out. =)
Musical Audtions…
….were terrible.
Today was the singing portion. I have practiced SO much, perhaps TOO much. When I got up there I totally geeked out, forgot the words and messed up the notes. AND I didnt do the acting I was going to.
To top it all off I did it right in front of all the best singers in the district, whom I wanted to prove to that, just because I’m not in their level choir that I’m still capable of music. There goes that. =(
I’m pretty upset.
End of Rennaisance Garb and Fa-la-la-ing and Such
It’s over. Done. Finis. The End. Cease Singing.
((until tomorrow -musical auditions))
We just has our last madrigal dinner.
Actually I’m a bit sad. It was fun.
