That's right ladies and gentlemen, last night was the first night in a series of nights that can only be Show Week. Last night I left rehearsal around 10 pm. I had spent about 4 and 1/2 hours there.
Tomorrow, I am going on a field trip to the National Holocaust Museum. I am really excited about it because I am a huge History nerd and one of my favorite time periods to learn about is WWII. Unfortunately because the museum is so far away I will probably not be back by call time (the time when we need to be there to do costume, make up, etc.) Meaning that day I am going to leave my house around 6:25 am and get home anywhere from 10 pm to 11:pm.
Then we open! So those shows will be epic! Some of my friends are coming to see me! And one of my friends who is coming I never get to see! So I am super excited!
Now I cannot do anymore because I have a French test i have to go study for.
Your Ravenclaw,
Odette

[4/14/09] In which Odette discusses her break, going back, wrock, and the Theater
Hey guys! I had a very awesome spring break in which I did a whole lot of nothing but at the same time a lot.
Speaking of Our Town.
Today through Thursday I have rehearsal till 5. Then on Friday it is till 4. Then we have Saturday rehearsal which is likely to be about 5 hours. Then the next week, show week, everyday I have to be at school at 5 in the afternoon. So if I do not post next week, it is because the world of Theater demands I sleep.
The Whomping Willows, JFF & the Sugar Quills, and The Moaning Myrtles announced their summer tour! And, on a Saturday, they are going to be in Vienna, Virginia! I am so excited! My friend Sarah and I are going to go as long as the parents let us! But we are super excited! Here is the video from last time we went to Vienna (The ride up not the concert):
Kate Your back! Yaaaay! (Or to use an Our Town word KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Long story) I'm not going to prom anymore. I'm a sophomore so I have to have an older date to be able to go. College in Norway! That sounds really neat! There is this college locally that if I go I can also spend two years at the University of Scotland and get a degree from both which I really want to do. And thanks that Nerdfighter is out there I know. And i love the tags
Ron Gothenburg looks like it was fun! Rest up!

- I went shopping and got a ton of new clothes which I needed.
- I got my hair cut. (It had been five months)
- I, mostly, got my two rooms cleaned up.
- I got a whole chapter ahead on my history worksheets.
- But mostly, I sat around and did nothing...

[3/30/09] In which Odette says "Give Yourself to Love"
My weekend was FANTASTIC!!!!!!! Happening is one of the most spiritual and moving experiences of my life every time I go. This time was better than last time I staffed and even better than my OWN Happening! I staffed again and I was a secret small group leader. On Sundays there is this foot washing and we get Bibles and that experience changed our group. There are so many thoughts about Happening that there is no way I could get them all in. So I am going to change topics sort of.
This next weekend I am going to Blackstone which is run by the same people but it is not a heavy as Happening. But this means I get to see all the people from last weekend again! I am very excited despite the fact that I will have accumulated even less sleep. (Yesterday I fell asleep five times during my Biology class, and we had a major test!)
I am thinking about doing NaBloPoMo In April. I think It would be fun and My Diary of a Nerdfighting Episcopalian Girl is slightly lonely. I am still thinking about it. I may wait until May because April is rather busy.
The play is coming together really nicely. We are off book and we have most of the scenery (which is not much because of how Thornton Wilder wrote it)
The other play, last Friday's was Okay. I think we could have used a more dedicated cast but in the end it worked out okay.
Ron: I wonder where the others went. It is kind of weird. But I enjoy blogging with you so its not too bad but I do wish we would hear from the others... It is always those dang cookies that get them! Curse you, cookies! Curse you!
I am really too tired to think of a question.

[3/2?/09] In which Odette says "Harry Potter is not just for fangirls!"
This girl in my first period said "I don't like Twilight, its just for fangirls. Harry Potter is too" At this point I turned around and said "Harry Potter is not just for fangirls!"
Her: Yes it is
Me: No its not. I am heavily involved in the Harry Potter Fandom. And it is not only for fangirls!
H: Well yes it is.
M: If you aren't involved in the fandom, you cannot say things like that because you would know it is wrong!
H: I spend a lot of time on the Internet. How do you know what I know?
M: You wouldn't say things like that, if you knew the fandom.
H: Ya know? This is our conversation and you just turned around and joined it. *She tries to kick me out because she is losing!*
M: Sorry I felt the need to defend my fandom. *Turned around*
It was interesting...
Oh I have another Harry Potter related story but it is mini. We were being given notes for Our Town. Th director said to me, " You need to be more officious...You love this stuff and someone has invited you to speak on it! Okay?" One of my cast members said "Pretend it is Harry Potter"
The one act in my first period, Murder in the Knife room. Is going to be preformed this friday! I am nervous because some people don't know their lines still. I just keep breathing and telling myself it will be okay.
This weekend I am going to Happening. (My favorite of the retreats I go on) One of the things we have to do is write Caritas. Caritas is some sort of note or gift or something that everyone gets and it is amazing. They let it in with these balloons tied to giant bags and the giant bags are filled with Caritas! Since I have to have this done by Friday I am fervently working to complete all the personal letters I am writing. Yesterday I was writing Caritas and I started to cry. It is a very emotional thing for me. (Good kind of crying don't worry) Two more time that day I had to stop working on Caritas because I was about to cry. So I had to stop. I think tomorrow I am going to shut myself in my room and just write and cry and write and cry and write and cry and write and cry.
Ron! You are alive! YaY! You made me want to go to a wrock concert! I haven't been to one since last summer! Tell me about Canada! Why are you going ad such! Being in a play is a lot of fun but it is also a lot of work. I think it is an experience that everyone should have at least once in their life. Prom is weeks away though. I have yet to get a dress but I will post pictures when I do! Yes I think we should talk more! I love talking to people! Talking is good!
Do you think Harry Potter is just for fangirls?
Well as you can see from above, no. I do think we do have fangirls though. Not only of Harry Potter, though, I totally fangirled Alex Carpenter last July....

[3/17/09] In which Odette is alone.
No one posted since last Tuesday. This make me sad.
Today we are running the first act (the only act I have lines) OFF BOOK! (To non-thespians: We have to say our lines without using the script.) I am fairly decent but I could use some work so today will be a challenge.
This past weekend was PreHap. We prepared for a retreat that will take place in two weeks. It was amazing and very powerful. I am still incredibly tired though. Yesterday I started about five stories and then had to stop because I forgot the ending. Hopefully that will be better today.
So my boyfriend asked me to go to Prom with him. I do not really care that much about going but he really wants to so I am going for him. Now I did not run home immediately and tell my parents and when I told my dad he was horrified that I had not told him and my mom yet. I did not think it was that big of a deal especially because my step mom already assumed we were going to go. But whatever.
I am not going to do a question since no one is here.

[3/10/09] In which Odette's finger is being very stupid!
Do you remember how my fingers were slammed in the door of my first period? Well my ring finger and my middle finger are healing quite well. In fact, they may be back to normal in a few weeks! Now it is gonna get a little bit gross so those who are a bit squeamish might want to close their eyes. My index finger had gotten a really bad bruise. It was brown and purple and red and white. So then a few weeks ago I noticed that there is a horizontal break in the nail. Not all the way across but about to the middle. We are reaching the penultimate grossness so you should definitely close your eyes. So as I stepped out of the shower the finger in question felt very funny. So I looked and noticed it was almost completely white! I examined it closer and found that the break had come free on the side of the nail! So it is gross and very painful.
You can open your eyes now.
(Did anyone get the B2.0 reference?)
In my French class we had to do a project were we talked about our futures. I decided to do mine fake and Harry Potter related. These are my sentences:
In Our town we had gotten ahead of schedule because the blocking finished early. And then we lost last week because of the bad weather so now we are behind schedule. Today we were supposed to know our lines in the old schedule (which I already did) but now the director has indefinitely extended that.
Ron: It seems most people would prefer to do the music instead of the physics. You are a rare breed. I hope you get it all done!
Who do you think the father of Helena Ravenclaw is?
Salazar. She did steal the diadem which makes her kind of cunning and sly.
Your Ravenclaw,
Odette

[2/16/09] In which Odette is really cold so she is shaking as she types this...
It is really cold in my house and I am freezing. I thought my sweatshirt was down here but apparently not. I am now making tea so I will hopefully be warmer soon.
Not a whole lot has happened since I last blogged.
We had our first read through for Our Town. I stumbled over some of the words because I have the biggest words in the play. the hardest one is 'braciocephelic' (My computer doesn't even think that word exists!) Today we have cast bonding. It shall be fun.
My friend gave me an epic Ravenclaw pen for Valentine's Day! Look Here!
Over the weekend I went to this thing called Annual Diocesan Council in Colonel Williamsburg. It was basically the business meeting for this group of churches. I was a page which meant I had to run around and collect ballots and pass out things. It was very fun. I got to hang out with some people that I rarely see and meet some new friends. (Side bar: I have tea now!) It was a lot of fun. On Saturday night we walked to a convenience store to get a snack. I do not know if any of you have ever been to Colonial Williamsburg but there is a really long street called Duke of Gloucester Street. It has historical shops like the bookbinder on it and modern day place that sold menswear. We walk down it and it was so pretty and peaceful. Then On Sunday we had this giant service. I got peace (I was greeted, told "peace be with you", and reciprocated) by the Presiding Bishop (The head of all Episcopal Churches in the US) and this awesome Scottish Bishop! I felt so special!
Yesterday was my mom's birthday and I was the only one here so I hung out with her all day. I made my famous homemade macaroni and cheese. We did it up like a little kid's birthday. I cut up her hot dog and placed them in a smiley face on top of her macaroni and cheese. It was a lot of fun!
Nina: TV Studio sound really cool! I would love to take that class! I am in the Mass Communications program at my school so I wish I could take that for mass Comm credit because that just seems so fun!
Ron: WOOT for Expecto 2009. I wish I could go but that would not happen... You should write a song about Pygme Puffs! I think that would be hilarious from Krum's point of view!
Questions!
If you could have any mythical/ HP creature as your pet, what would you have?
I think I would have to go with...Hippogriff too! They seem very neat.
What type of wand would you want?
I think I would want a wand that was good for charms.
That is all for now folks!
See you tomorrow Nina! (Hopefully!)
Your Ravenclaw,
Odette!

[2/10/09] In which Odette feels much better than last week!
Y'all are returning! YaY! That makes me happy!
If you have seen my twitter or facebook, you may know that I now have a boyfriend. He is the guy in my theater class directing us in the one act. He is really super sweet to me and i just love being with him!
Yesterday we had auditions for the play Our Town. It was a lot of fun. I think I did really well. I was cast as Professor Willard! I am really thrilled!
Saturday was the French Congres! My school won the spirit competition! I was freaking out! I also won third place in the cuisine competition.
Kate: I love my three little characters! (And my new character) They are the best! We have only gotten to rehearse one of my scenes but I am having so much fun! My cold is gone but I think I have a stomach bug now which is no fun. I love your deviantart stuff! They are all really cool! I love Orchids and Sea Breeze! Woot for being High on life!
Ron: I was explaining to someone how we call you Ron they could not stop talking about it. It was really funny! And thanks. I am feeling much better!
Questions:
What is you favorite magical beverage/food/sweet?
I would have to go with Butterbeer, Sugar quills & much much more...
What are your opinions on Tarot cards?
Confuzzling...
Have you ever named a plant after an HP character?
Okay so you probably said this as a joke but...uh...heh..he..yeah...I named a miniature Christmas Tree Norbert after the dragon...so...yeah..I am very nerdy....
What do you think of people who have not read all of Harry Potter? Like they are still in the middle of the books.
Well my boyfriend is in the middle of the 5th book so i guess I am okay with it but I still think, "How can you NOT finish the books? They are so epic!"
That is all for now folks!
See you tomorrow Nina! (Hopefully!)
