Diary of a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl (by Catt Miller)

Okay, so..... Everyone else is doing Repo diaries, so I thought I'd chime in with my bit!

My little bit wasn't that exciting, however.... And I didn't have nearly as many techie mistakes, and some of mine were minor... but I will say everything that was driving me insane!

Okay.

So!

Bear with me. ^^

First of all things first, I left Wednesday morning (to go to the mall first), suitcase in tow, to get to the theatre. I got there an hour early, was not well-dressed for warmth, and was the only one there... so we had to sit inside.

No big.

I'll skip to the actual day..... The stuff in-between was just errands and insanity.

Saturday morning.... I wake up early, get ready to go, and am freaking out because I don't have some of the stuff I need. I also know that a lot of other people didn't have the stuff they needed, and because I'm paranoid,I begin to worry HORRIBLY.

When Ashley, Art, and I get to the theatre, most of their cast members have yet to show up, the sound guy had just gotten there, and the place was a mess! I tried to help as much as I could, but there wasn't a whole lot that I could do... So I did all I could.

Then, tech started..... The sound guy didn't once do a run through with the actual projections or anything, which I KNEW was going to fuck up the actual performance.... My nightgown wasn't completely finished yet, and I was missing some things.

First run through starts out good, but I realize that the tech forgot to throw the dead body onstage in time for 21st Century Cure. It switches to Shilo Wakes, and I figure out.... I CAN'T GET THE NIGHTGOWN ON.

So I tear it off and throw it, about ready to have a panic attack, but I was onstage, so I wouldn't. AS soon as Infected finished, I was upstairs.... Where I lost it.

For the next couple scenes, while I was backstage, I was crying, panicking, and having a mental breakdown. I'm surprised I held out so long... You'd think it would have happened sooner.....

Oh,well.

Tons of other things went wrong during that rehearsal, but they were smoothed out by the second... then came the real thing!

Jessica had let me borrow a pair of disposable contacts so I could see onstage (A fucking godsend they were, thank you SO much Jess! *tackleglomps*),and I was finally used to them when the show started!

One big problem.... one of the techs didn't put one of my books in the bag with all the other stuff, so I had to run around lookign for one... one lady gave me one to use, and I wish I could have found her afterwards to give her back the book, but I had no idea where she or IT was.

Anyway! My cue started, and I headed down the aisle..... To the sounds of screams! My heart was beating rapidly, my adreniline pumping.... but this was it! I couldn't mess up!

So I got onstage, was a TINY bit off on my cues, but all in all, 21st Centruy Cure went well. Then came Shilo Wakes, where instead of the nightgown, I just stripped off half of my costume... To the sounds of TONS of catcalls. >//////////<>.<>.<>.<

Not that the whole cast hadn't seen (and compleented, THANKS, Stephen)n my boobs already, cuz in a show like this, you don't have time to worry about people seeing you naked.

Then came Rotti's Chapel Sermon (Also called Rotti's Brainwashing video), where a techie was supposed to put Marni's veil for me to wear... but it was not there. I remembered the flashlight, though!

What pissed me off the most was that the video wasn't THERE... until I saw the damn projections being FLIPPED through! I was so moritifed.....
xD

Then came Let The monster Rise, which was FUN... but I kept getting my timing on the swinging of the damn shovel wrong. Also, the projedtion of Mag didn't show up in time, so I was akwardly staring at nothing, just like with the Brain-washing video.....

THAT was what irritated me the most.

After that was the Final Showdown..... Which went fairly well, until Jessalyn whispered "Pull up your dress" when she came onstage.... And I had to pull it up for like the fifty-millionth time.

Then I Never Knew I loved You So Much was intruded upon by Tim's coat getting caught in that fucking wheelchair!

Finished that really well,though... did Genetic Emancipation, and was finally DONE.....

Then the bows came,and I was last. Right after I bowed, the music stopped at JUST the right time.... which made up for the one thing that really depressed me about the show....

Not ONCE did I get to be covered in fake blood!

I was REALLY looking forward to that!

In any case... there's my diary, sorry it wasn't as entertaining as Jessalyn's, Meg's, and Camille's. ^^

I'm also sorry if I missed someone.... my Facebook likes to act up a lot.
