Junior Recital

So my junior recital was at the end of January, and here is an audio recording of the final piece, Non piu mesta but Rossini from La Cenerentola.


Non piu mesta

Obviously I haven't posted in about forever! I'll do a picture journal of what has gone on since the last few posts... :-)



Hans graduated....




We hung out in Hood River....




I picked over 350 pounds of blueberries....




I threw a bachelorette party...




Served as maid of honor with one of the best ladies I know alongside...



Yes ladies, we are ready to rock this...




The wedding party (minus bride and groom) were all friends I've known for 15-20 years...



MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!! The fourth wedding in nine months time, three of them some of my best friends.



And then I turned 21!!




Now I'm working on ensemble for Die Fledermaus, probably one of the most hilarious operas ever written.

Mozart this time

So, I will be performing in the ensemble of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro in February! I'm pretty excited because a lot of my really good friends are in the show, too! And I love Mozart!

In other news, one of our seniors just got cast as the Elphaba replacement in whichever production of Wicked (Broadway or tours) needs one first!!

And I'll be home in 13 days, Lord willing!

Well.

Well crap.

Too Many Sopranos!

Meet the Divas!

Why only me?

I was having a conversation with some friends this week who are all Obama supporters (like everyone at school). I decided to be brave and said, "Sarah Palin is awesome!" And they all gave me dirty looks, and I said, jokingly, "See, I can express my opinion and none of y'all hurt me, because I'm nice!" And one of my friends who is extremely caustic towards conservatives in general conversation (again, like everyone at school) said, "Yeah, that's why we're still friends, because you're nice about expressing your opinions."

I didn't say it, but I definitely thought it....why is it that I have to be nice about expressing my opinions, but those who are verbally hateful towards conservatives don't? Why am I still happy to be friends with you when you openly sabotage my beliefs while your requirement for friendship with me is that I express mine kindly?
