Little Bits of Life

Hello Everyone!

I'm really sorry niether of us have done any posts as of late.  Lolly has good excuses like college and she is working two jobs in addition to being the lead female role in a play we are in. But me on the hand...  I'm not really that busy.

I've started writing a story with my friend Willow.  First I write a chapter for my character then she writes one for her's.  It is super fun and I can't wait until it's done!  It's funny because I sort of have to get in the mood for writing.  I can't just pop in at any place and be good.  It's probably harder because my character is a guy.  I've found ways to "get into character" kind of like with acting.  It helps me if I listen to Twenty One Pilots.  I enjoy their music and I feel like my character relates to them somehow.  Man, it's getting boring having to say 'my character' over and over!  I'll at least tell you his name - Peter.  It means rock or stone.  I've been looking up the meaning to all of the character's names.  It's really interesting.  

The rehearsals for A Tale of Two Cities is going very well.  Two weeks ago we had our photo shoot (for advertising purposes).  I have a few behind the scenes photos I'll share with you.




I think that one looks really cool.



Isn't my costume cute?  Although it looks nice, it was extremely tight.  Thankfully the costume manager is able to take it out for the shows.  Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of Lolly.  I guess that will force me to post some of the promotional photos of her here once they are done;)

I have a few more photos from rehearsals that I took;




We have been rehearsing at our fabulous director's house a lot.  


Recently I've been enjoying writing quotes and such on paper then decorating around it. Here are two I've done.



I really like the last one:) By the way, can any of you draw pictures of guys?  Because for the life of me I can't!  They end up looking like tired girls with short hair.  And that's not really the look I'm going for.  

I hope you liked reading about the little bits of my life lately!  Check back soon because I might just post a bit of mine and Willow's story!

Love,
Pip

What Tech Week Looks Like + SURPRISES and Disappointments

Image
Hey Guys! I’m really sorry.  I haven’t posted in quite a while, but I was very busy.  For now, let’s catch up on what been happening in this crazy life of mine, starting with tech week.    August 7 th This was our first day of tech week.  People always complain about it, because the cast doesn’t do much.  Just the crew.  But personally, I enjoy it the most.  Getting to the theatre, finding places for our costumes and filming.  Everything was great.  My favorite part was a little adventure after dinner…  Almost everyone was still eating, but I wanted to finish early and do my makeup in the dressing room.  After that I decided to join everyone again.  Out on stage I met up with two of my castmates.  Let’s call them Caleb and Blake.  I really wanted to go exploring the building, but not alone so the three of us went together.  First, we found some random rooms, ...

I'm Finally Back + Exciting News

Image
Image via Pinterest Hey Everyone! I seem to have taken a brief (but much needed) blogging hiatus.  I was feeling a little discouraged and uninspired.  This time has helped me to refresh my mind while coming up with tons to talk about in upcoming posts.  And now, even when I finally post again, it's just a short one.   But   one filled with an exciting announcement...  I checked my number of followers sometime last week.  It was a measly 21.   This was the beginning of my blog burnout .  I was feeling discouraged.  On Saturday I checked my stats, and I had an amazing 90 followers!  It's amazing that people actually want to read my writing.  People all over the place are going to read these words I write. This afternoon I checked my stats and  literally squealed .  I now have  a gigantic 222 followers!   I don't know where all of this traffic come from, but I'm not complaining! As a ...

Friendship Day + What My Closest Friends Taught Me

Image
Hello! How are you?  I still can’t believe it’s August.  I know I haven't been posting often, but I've been very busy.  Guess what?  Tomorrow is National Friendship Day!  I really wanted to do a post about it, but I'm trying to stick to my blog schedule, so I compromised and posted it today.     My friends have taught me lots of things .  Sometimes I’ve gotten a little bugged with them, and sometimes I’ve tried their patience.  But not matter what, we stick together.  Here are a few things I’ve learned from my three closest friends. Lolly (because who is a better friend than my sister?) Stand up for yourself.   Don’t ever let people walk all over you.  If they don’t care about you, then there is no reason to care about them. You are safe.  God will always protect you.  You are loved, and there is nothing that can change that. It’s okay to cry.  Just don’t lose hope....
