"The King and I"

I never liked the name Eliza, but now I love it :) It feels like a part of me. I've been Eliza for the past week, and I loved it. All the waiting backstage during the shows was pretty boring, but dancing is always so worth it. And this time there was acting involved, too. I didn't know I could act. I always felt like I could, but I'd never tried. Apparently I'm not too bad at it XD (Although yesterday, the day pretty much all my friends came, I didn't do as well with the acting *sigh* Of course.)

The costumes and makeup were crazy. I can't say that I liked the process, but seeing how different I looked was kind of fun :) Pictures? If you insist :) This was a great experience and I'll never forget it.

Oh, man, that's so fun! I wish I could get into some sort of play, it looks fantastic! Were you the lead, then? (If so, that is so cool. :)
The makeup looked pretty cool, too! It's amazing how different one can look under three inches of facepaint.

By the way, you look like one of my good friends from elementary school named Kelsey Lane. You're not a close cousin of her, are you? That would be so cool.

I'm so glad you're having such a great time in theatre! Wish I could come see you in the play.

You know what is strange Kendra? I know Princess Ying Yaowlak...just by a different name of course. I went to a camp with her last month, she was in my cabin.
We must live in the same area...it's a small world after all.

In Christ,
Emily
P.S. I hope I haven't like freaked you out or anything, I'm not a stalker person. I promise.
