Oh yeah...About That...

I forgot to say that I am a BLONDE Lucy Van Pelt. I ended up refusing any artificialness. My mother is a bit irked, but she'll get over it. I think I'm very crabby-esque on stage, and that covers for it. :) I can't help it if the stage lights on my hair make me look like I have a halo.

Rediscovered Band + New Band = Eternal Happiness for the Ears

Just a quick note on the previous post--I am NOT a celiac!! :D I can eat many bagels and donuts and pastas and all of that lovely stuff. However, I AM lactose-intolerant...AGAIN. Mom says that I'm just intolerant in general. Ha ha, Mom. Now on to the topic of today's post...

I am currently obsessed with two bands...well, more like one guy's voice and another band. The rediscovered band/fantastic guy's voice is....Panic! At the Disco! I LOVE Brendon Urie. I've decided I don't care how many times he gets high a week, I still love his freakin' vocal-chords. :) The NEW band is called My Favorite Highway. When I try to tell people about them, this is usually what it sounds like:

Me: Have you ever heard of 'My Favorite Highway'?

Them: No, what is it? I-15?

Me: No. It's a band.

Them:Your favorite highway is a band? I don't get it...

And then I go on explaining to Them that My Favorite Highway is this fantastic group that has everything I like in their music. Then I bring up the sad truth that they broke up in December 2010, right BEFORE I found out about them! Merg.

Also. "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" is now playing in the Hurricane Community Theater for the next 2 weekends and this up-coming Monday. It's pretty entertaining. :) The Van Pelt siblings are the best part, if I do say so myself. Come and remember your childhood...Unless you were born after the 1970's...Then this is basically just whole bunch of snippets from the Classic Peanuts comic strip. Also, Today is April 5, 2011, and it is 9:35 pm. I don't know why it says otherwise.

You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown!

It's hard to believe that our cast has just over 4 weeks 'til opening night!!! We started rehearsals in January and the production is in April. Oh boy, oh boy. I was cast as Lucy Van Pelt (for my personality, I'm sure) despite the fact that my hair is not NEARLY Lucy's color. I believe I shall be wearing a wig or have EXTREMELY WASHABLE hair dye. That is probably the part that I'm the most scared about. The hair. Not the acting or singing or being on stage in front of a ton of people, just the hair. The other stuff is what I'm excited about!!

Another quick update is that I will be getting tested for Celiac Disease (A condition where the digestive system cannot handle a wheat product called gluten) pretty soon. Which means I have to get my blood drawn. NOT my cup of tea. For the longest time I've been having stomach problems, but it was just brushed off as something else. I've tried going off gluten before, however, it was only for a week or two and it didn't help. My father has just informed me that a week or two is not long enough to determine the helpfulness of a gluten-free diet. Therefore, we decided that I shall be tested. Joy.

Although there are a few other things going on in my life right now, these are the only ones I actually feel like posting about. And so, I conclude.

Yes, my siblings keep leaving to go to foreign countries....NO, it's not because of me.

So yesterday, I was skyping Jared, and he says, "I feel so forgotten! All of the attention is on Kimber in Thailand."

Jenna: "Yeah, tell me about it."

Jared: "What do you mean??"

Jenna: "Well, it is MY Senior Year and instead of the year being MY year, it's turned into 'Let's go off to a foreign country' year. No body is home and I don't get any attention."

Jared: "Oh. I can see how you could feel that way, but at least you're with the family."

WHA??? YOU, my dear Jared, DECIDED to leave the country and be lonely!! You didn't have to and no one really encouraged you to go. It was all by your choice. So don't be looking to me for attention.

For all of you that may be interested, I just got the part of Lucy, in "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." I am VERY excited about this lead and the show is the first week of April! Hope to see you there.

New Year with new problems...

The very first thing I did this year is play "Angry Birds" on my dads new iPad. I didn't get kissed, I didn't bang pots and pans around, I just sat on the couch while the rest of my family was in bed or drinking sparkling cider. We are so exciting.


So I'm seriously thinking of betraying Blogspot and creating a vlog on YouTube. I know, I know. I can't even update my Blog regularly, what makes me think that I could handle a Vlog?? Well. The truth is...I'm a little bit obsessed with a certain vlogger named Charlie McDonnell. From England. So he has kind of inspired me to create my own vlog (Okay, he is completely the reason behind my desire to vlog). I am not funny like Charlie, nor do have an awesome accent; but I do have some musical talents that I would like to share with the world. That will probably be my vlog purpose. A musical vlog! TTFN

I'm Feeling Grinchy

Yes. I am one of those people. I find most Christmas songs irritating, caroling drives me nuts, and cold, wet snow is only for look at, not for building snowmen in. Christmas is just so commercial. However, I DO love Christmas trees, IF they aren't over-decorated. I love stockings, the smell of fires in the morning, and I LOVE the delicious, home-made clam chowder that my mom makes every year for Christmas Eve. And I love getting paid for wrapping everyone's Christmas presents.

Jared and family just left out the door to go to Salt Lake. I'm home alone for the next 36 hours and I'm not as excited as I thought I'd be. I can't believe this morning is the last time I'll see Jared until after I graduate. Everyone is always telling me that my senior year is the fastest, and I hope they're right because Jared is going to be away for a long time...

André is quite awesome. I've laughed so much in the past day in a half. His enthusiasm for going to school amazes me and his new love for peanut butter sandwiches and cheesecake is hilarious. It's fun to watch him try new things.
