Cricket

I love to sing, it's my favorite thing to do. When I was young, very young, my dad nicknamed me "Cricket" because I was always singing- how appropriate.

Today I got to do my favorite thing. Joe- a boy I went to High School with -is a very talented singer. He and I sang in the talent show together last year, and have met up again today to delve into another duet. "Move On" from Sunday in the Park with George, and maybe you could guess... it's by my favorite.. Stephen Sondheim. We ran through it once or twice and posted ourselves on youtube to be judged by the world. We're planning on performing this duet at a recital in September.

More exciting though, than our meeting today, is our plan to sing something from my all time favorite musical, Sweeney Todd. That would be the dream.

There is a list of parts I want to play before I ... kick the bucket. The part that tops that list? Wouldn't you like to know!! Mwuahaha... to be continued.

Black

There are a few things in life that make me feel happy and comforted. When I lose my reason and become insanely sad I rely on these things to make me feel better:

Stephen Sondheim's Music
Macbook
Ipod
Venti Black Tea Lemonade 6 pumps Classic 1 pump Raspberry from Starbucks
My Car
Rehearsal/Performing

-------------
Stephen Sondheim is one of the most brilliant men in history, in my humble opinion. My Macbook allows me to be creative without ever leaving my bed. My Ipod supplies me with some of the most amazing tunes known to man.. my Venti Black Tea Lemonade is refreshing and uplifting. My car is my life and I adore driving it. Rehearsal is what I live for, performing is my life and no matter what mood I'm in, both things are always a pick me up.

This is a list of the things I hope to never be without.
