Big Sister Blues

A lot of people HATE having siblings. I'm the only girl in a family with four children. I am one of the people that just can't stand their siblings. Of course, my reasoning is a bit different. Two of my brothers are your average annoying and idiotic siblings. The youngest however, is by far the worst. He cries and throws tantrums daily, he sucks his thumb, and he is extremely immature. Did I mention he's 13 years old? Turning 14 in a few months. I think he needs therapy. I'm very angry at my parents for letting him act this way all his life. Do you realize how stressful and agonizing it is to have a 3 year old brother for 10 years?

One of the Boys

You know how most girls have their BFFs and go shopping and have sleepovers and stuff? Well I'm not like that. Since I was little, I've always been one of the boys. I'm not afraid to punch someone if I have to and I'd much rather listen to AC/DC than the Jonas Brothers. Most of my friends are guys because they're so much easier to get along with than girls. Girls are so bitchy most of the time. If a guy has a problem with you, he'll tell you straight up. Why do girls have to be born like gossip ninjas? It seems like 90% of them are born with the "Sweet to Bitch in 2.5 Seconds" gene. Being the only girl in my family has made me comfortable around guys. I'd rather be playing football than braiding hair. Of course, this doesn't mean that I'm a complete tom-boy. I can get pretty damn girly sometimes. I'm full of surprises. I change like the moon.

"I'm Not That Girl"

Wicked has to be my favorite musical ever. One problem though: I relate to one of the songs more than I'd like to. "I'm Not That Girl" is just too similar to my life. Another problem: that certain girl likes Wicked too. In fact, she likes pretty much EVERYTHING that I like... including my boyfriend. Alright so it's an open relationship but I'd still like to have him for myself. The open relationship was his idea. Commitment might as well be a 4-letter word to him. Anyway, she is so in love with him. It pisses me off to no end. Rumors have been flying about a secret relationship between him and her. As if it couldn't get worse, she's two years younger than him and me. God just loves those dramatic twists. I'm not giving up. If I have to go all bitchy on her ass I'll do it. I won't lose him to such a juvenile brat.

I Can't... I Have Rehearsal

Is it really that surprising for a theatre person to be writing about her crazy schedule? Everyone hears about it, whether or not they're part of the world of the stage. Theatre people ALWAYS have to plan around their rehearsals. And it's like life has to stop completely during hell week. Sleep becomes a thing of the past and coffee becomes your best friend and your biggest supporter. And two shows at once? Forget about it. There IS no life outside of theatre then. You start praying to the homework fairy and the test ninja to help and guide you. But we all know it's worth it at curtain call =]
