Frankenstein and Wicked

Hai Guys! 
yeah there is a connection with the title I swear! AND SO HERE IT IS ALL MY FELLOW BLOGIANS, the grand unveiling of the connection between the two things in the title. Plays and Musicals. 
To start off with the first, Frankenstein:
I think to start one should start with the beginning and so the beginning is that in ninth grade my friend Hannah and I started the drama elective at our school DSST, it was the first elective that was a student run thing and was actually art based. So we didn't think it would amount to anything incredibly big, but this year they hired a drama teacher to come and teach at our school. We now are putting on the first ever production of Frankenstein: a modern retelling, written and directed by G.M Thompson. So that's where the first part comes in with all its grim and eerie awesomeness (come see it if you can this Friday or Saturday at Denver School of Science and Technology, five dollar entrance fee. doors open at 7 show starts at 7:30. its a blast!) And now for the second part. 
Wicked.
I again think to start I should start at the very beginning, for it is a very good place to start. I went to see the musical Wicked with my mother on April 18th and it was simply amazing. After the show she bought me a shirt. They were having this kind of raffle for charity (Broadway Cares is the name of it) and I managed to persuade my mother to buy one of the 20 dollar tickets. These tickets were to be able to walk onstage with the cast of Wicked on Thursday the 26th. I put my name is once, and a few days later received a call. I won. And so tonight I was on stage five times with the cast, I had a costume, I got two free tickets for my parents and I got to watch the entire show from backstage with the cast and crew of Wicked. I have so many stories from it. I got to celebrate Fiyero's birthday (Happy 22nd to Andy Kelso {Fiyero}) and had my very own dressing room area. I was treated so kindly by everyone and got suggestions on how to start being a part of the backstage or even onstage process through the DCPA. 
So even though I missed Frankenstein's second production night I was able to be onstage with the cast of Wicked. I have pictures that I will upload when I find the gosh damn cord to my gosh damn camera. 


It was the most amazing night, if you have any questions or want to hear a story or two, just comment and you shall receive. 

Frankenstein and Wicked to everyone! 


Peace in (not out) and keep on being Oddsome

Fibonacci Sequence and Momentyness

Hai guys!
Have you ever just had this nervous tick that you cant seem to get rid of? Well mine recently has seemed to be the Fibonacci Sequence. My mind just goes over and over and over it all the time. Even had a dream about it the other night. I was sitting in a completely dark room, surrounded by 13 candles (a fibonacci number) reciting the sequence up to the point where my brain knows it. 
So seeing as I had this dream, and I remembered it today, I decided to spend what free time I had doing the Fibonacci sequence to as far as I could. And well guys, I made it to the 300th digit of the sequence 
which in case you wanted to know is: 222,232,244,629,420,445,529,739,893,461,909,967,206,666,939,096,499,764,990,979,600 (Yeah I managed to do that like a boss today, cause I'm cool right?). 

Other than that I had a pretty good day. I went a baseball game and froze my ass off. No ,seriously guys, I don't have an ass now, it was that cold. that my ass literally fell off. Okay so that might be an exaggeration but still, it was really cold. 
Then we went out to dinner, and I got tea, which was delicious. Have you ever just drank a glass of tea and felt like everything is going to be amazing for the rest of the day 

Guys! I have dreams of Orca whales and Dinosaurs. 

^Pardon my random moment, I'm feeling momenty today, which means that my day has been filled with all kinds of random moments. Like talking in Lyrics. Which seems to happen quite frequently when I talk to my self. 

I also just changed this entire post into this super cool font that makes me feel like I am typing on a typewriter, man if I could own a type writer. 

Some food for thought: WHY IS IT CALLED FOOD FOR THOUGHT!?  that's not it, my food for thought of the day is why are people discriminated against as much as they are? Is it because it is human nature or is it a conscious choice


As you may have noticed in the title there is a new word, that I plan on coining along with the word Oddsome, its called Momentyness
Its a derivative of Momenty, which is an emotion: a state of feeling like you are going to have a lot of random times in the near future. 

Well I think that is it for this exact moment. 

Peace in (not out) and keep being Oddsome!
