I'm really not sure how to take this, if it's unintentional bragging, pride or what...but yesterday I was thinking about these two characters in a scene, remembering the surroundings and the mood, and I thought to myself, "I need to start reading that again. I need to know what happens. I am emotionally invested!" And as I was trying to remember what exactly I had been reading, it dawned on me that I was thinking about one of the last scenes I worked on Sunday for my own book. Needless to say, I felt a little silly.
I guess it's a good thing to fall in love with your own characters and to care about what happens to them. I just don't ever want to cross over into the place where they are perfect in my eyes, and can do no wrong. I don't want them to become Cullens, I guess is what I'm saying. Somebody slap me if they ever seem too perfect, or perfectly evil. I can relate to them, sure. I created them. ("That's what you think," says Cavalon in my ear. "We've been here all along, Peaches, you just haven't been listening.") I just want to make sure the rest of my readers can relate to them as well.
It would be fair to say I am about halfway through this chapter, THEN it's on to the big battle. It was supposed to be just the big battle chapter and then the epilogue to finish, but there were a lot of loose ends that needed tying up, and that took a whole chapter in itself. So now, getting close to the end, I am getting excited. An ending means a new beginning, and I keep getting little brain spams of ideas for what happens in the next book. Oh man...I love writing. It is so freeing.
It's still early, so if I get myself together now I should have some time to write for awhile. Yays!

Hello everyone! Hope your Christmas was wonderful. Instead of doing the normal after Christmas rundown, I decided to do a movie review today. So just give it a read, and see if it isn't something you'd be interested in.
For anyone that knows me, it's a well known fact that I love movies. If I could live at my local theater, I would. Popular movies, Indy flicks, bad C grade movies, I really don't care. I just like them all because every one of them, even the worst of them, offers something that makes me sit back and think. Last night, while we were just chilling and letting our Christmas dinner of fabulous Chinese food settle, I decided to jump onto Netflix and put a movie on. The movie I chose was Phoebe in Wonderland. I was told this was something of a darker retelling of the popular story, so that had me hooked. Also, I saw Elle Fanning was the main actress and wanted to see how her acting chops would stand against that of older sister Dakota. In case you were wondering, this was not a retelling of Alice by any measure. But that was part of what made the movie great.
( Mozart was six when he wrote his first opera! I'm seven! )

So I went to my doctor this morning to see if she could give me some pain meds because I can't be seen until January 4th. She gave me something I've never had before, and man do I feel weird. Actually....I feel a lot like this kid.

With the One Voice performances done, it's now time to get back to normal, every day life. This past week has been somewhat of a blur, with the last three days flying by like...I don't even know what. We got better with each performance, and performed to a full house last night. In fact, people had to be turned away because were were slightly over capacity. Out of all four shows, I think Saturday night was our best one. Other people might think differently, but that's my opinion on it. Hope everyone enjoyed my little picspam. I'm going to try and get some of them on Facebook later today.
Tonight is the party at Blackwater, and I have to get stuff to make my pan eclair.
I didn't really sleep all that well last night and still feel absolutely exhausted. I had this dream that some small Asian lady was threatening my dad. She was like a spy or something, pretending to work for me as a housekeeper and when she tried to scam me and I tried to fire her, she suddenly knew how to speak English and told me my time was up to save him.
Yeah, I don't know, either.

Wahoo, opening night was a success! Or...mostly a success. Last year on opening night, Dale fell off the stage and broke his leg. This year, no one fell off the stage but we did have a woman in the audience have a seizure and get sick. It was about three quarters of the way through the show and we were all waiting to go out for "Don't Miss the Manger," and had no idea what was going on for a little bit. We were all kinda just standing in the wings, wondering why the curtain wasn't being pulled back so we could go out and the music wasn't playing. I really hope the lady is okay.
Doing a complete run-through before the actually performance, I thought I was not going to make it. However, the adrenaline rush from performing in front of a live audience made breathing an almost non-existent problem. Afterward my body crashed and I had chest pains during the night. This morning it's hard to breathe, but I'm sure the same thing that happened last night will happen today. Not worried at all.
I tried to do a picspam on Twitter yesterday, but the signal wasn't great inside the school. I'll try again today, since we have about 45 minutes to an hour before we have to seriously be there for the next performance. We'll see.

So at dress rehearsal last night, the hazer set off the fire alarm and we had to leave early. I was amused last night, not so much today. That means we have to do a run-through before the actual show tonight, and quite frankly, I don't know that I have the stamina for that. Guess we'll see.
Not much to report on. It's all One Voice from here until Monday.
Peace out, homes.
