headache

So, Mike surprised me today by taking MY Wii back to the store and trading it for an XBox 360. LAME!! The only game we have for that is some basketball game. I don't even like basketball. While I was at church I was thinking "wow, I can't wait to get home and play my war game." Too bad that dream never came true. 

I went to the Tokyo Disney audition the other day. My first audition since I did "Millie." I was sooo nervous. I took the bus into the city and proceeded to get lost walking to the Sydney Dance Company building. I eventually found out it two store clerks and a security guard later. Of course, I'm the only black girl there, which I'm not complaining about, because it makes me stand out to the audition panel. Not that I needed that, because who is sitting behind the table?? Dan Solis!! I have sang for this man upwards of 6 times or more. He has yet to actually offer me a job, haha. But, none the less, I sang my little heart out for him. I sounded better than I thought I would, considering my lack of proper practice. I am a slight perfectionist, so I felt my performance left something to be desired. My voice was a bit sluggish and rough thru transitions. There were really only 53 people at the audition. A small turnout. It was awesome to see Dan, though. He was really surprised to see me. I'm sure he didn't expect to see someone he knows half way around the globe. Well, it seemed like he and the others enjoyed my audition, but then told me to come and see him in 6 months when they're back in Sydney. What does that even mean?? Did I not sing well?? Am I not what they are looking for?? Do I smell funny?? Hmm, and here I am thinking it went well. But, I guess I'll just wait and see what happens. And in the meantime, keep singing. I spent the rest of the day walking around the cd taking pictures and chillaxin. Then on the bus ride home I left Mike's camera on the bus. I never got it back. I hate that!! All those pictures gone...(of course, Mike didn't even care I left is camera, haha)

I had my first Aussie meat pie! It was awesome, and very different. Its a small pastry pie with meat in some kind of sauce and mashed potatoes and bacon on top. Its really good with tomato sauce (ketchup). I'm kind of used to calling it "tomato sauce" now, cause if I say "ketchup" they make fun of me, or don't know what I'm talking about. I also had a sausage roll, but that definitely wasn't as good as the pie, so I fed it to the seagull, haha. He and his friends like it. It was surely one of those "Mine?!" from Finding Nemo moments. Funny seagulls. 

Oh yeah, I took my braids out. So I'm back to my natural hair. My hair has grown quite a bit. its to the base of my neck. It hasn't been this long since high school. I was afraid Mike wouldn't like my short hair, but he is surprisingly its biggest fan!! He loves it. Too bad I hate him for getting rid of my Wii...

Oh its really bad! I also wanted to say hi and I love you and am thinking of you. Do they celebrate Halloween there in Sydney? If not Happy Halloween. Ally is going to be Dorothy from the Wizard of OZ. too bad Ally thinks that Ashanti is the real Dorothy..ask me later about that. I also wanted to refer you to a talk I was reading the other day.go to lds.org and type in "Trust in the Lord" ITs the talk by Richard G. Scott.
Sorry I should have sent you a letter thru facebook. Now you tell me. Next time my comment will actually be a comment and not a novel.
