My goodness!

Hey guys! Sorry I've been gone for a while but I'm on break now so I'm going to try to post several times a week now. :)

A lot has happened lately. One, I had both of my shows that went really well. Thoroughly Modern Millie only had a few boo-boos but nothing the crowd noticed. (yay!) Then I also got results from Opera Theatet STL (the biggest opera company in STL) for their children's chrous and they want to place me in Carmen AND Alice in Wonderland! :D The only trick is that my school's big 8th grade dance (mini prom!) is on the same night as Alice's tech rehearsal... :P so I hope I can still make it to the dance. (do you want to see the dress I want to buy for it?) Of course you do! :) http://www.lafemmefashion.com/files/images/16813-3.jpg It's blue and glittery...perfect!

Also I know I didn't keep up with posting my song lyrics, but Im starting that this week and will have a brand new, original song up very soon! :) hope you guys have a fantastic day! XOXO

TTFN! Esther <3

Sick..again

I'm home sick, again. So yall get an extra blog!! :O So...My ears have really been killing me lately and last night there was this HUGE flipping thunderstorm. I woke up, like an hour before my alarm went off, and hail is **pounding** on my window. The wind was so strong, it kept getting louder and louder, I just sat in my bed (still half asleep) thinking "there is a tornado...there is a tornado outside and I'm going to die...my ears are killing me!" (I was *really* tired...) So I got up and went into my parent's room and said, "Should we be in the basement or something?" It ended up there wasn't a tornado... (shocker!) ;D So, as it's still pouring/hailing/blowing.... I went down stairs in complete darkness, because I didn't want to turn on the lights why??? So I'm fumbling around, found a flash-light, and found the stupid Advil, took my pill, and went back to bed. I'm pretty sure I was half-way sleep walking. I was more mad then anything though, I woke up and started like arguing with the storm....Yep. So! After I went to sleep again for an hour or so, my alarm went off for school, my ears were a little better so I took my shower etc, got ready, then they started killing me again. Then my legs were really swollen (Why? I don't know...but it wasn't helping). So, I went to McDonalds with my mom got hot chocolate and came home! (Then I watched Jenna Marbles on Youtube.com for a good hour or so, and now I'm writing this blog! Wasn't that fun?) ;) So how are all of your guys's day going? Leave a comment below and let me know! <3 Oh, by the way my opera is tonight...scary. I'm going to go but I just hope my voice doesn't give out. I have to perform the opera again on Sunday, and I have my school's musical Tuesday so....yeah. I'm a lil nervous! So...that's my life for the moment. I'll post again if anything fantastic on this sick-y day happens! .... :P
TTFN! <3 ;)

Music

YAY! I received an e-mail yesterday from Opera Theater St. Louis...and I got Call backs for their operas!!! I'm sooo excited! I'm even more excited for Alice now as well because I have been looking up info about the awesome songs. The woman who wrote this opera, Unsuk Chin, is truly a genius. Alice in Wonderland has been adapted by Disney into a more kid-friendly story, but originally Alice was supposed to be a little scary of a story. Unsuk Chin really brings this threw beautifully. Here is a clip of the opera done in Berlin,Germany!

Isn't that so cool? It's very different, very modern! :) So, on another note....I am starting something new on my blog! "Song Sundays!" Lately I have been writing my own lyrics to songs, and I'm going to start posting them here to this blog, and you guys can tell me what you think! For today though, I'll give you a sneak peek... ;) This is one of my silly-er songs that I wrote back in January:

This Fantasy is Over
Oh! You're like a fairy tale
That turned sour, no it won't end well
but your everything I could ever want....
in my personal Hell

Oh! Your like my Romeo
asked for my heart- then ya said no
(I don't think so...)
Your my personal hell

(Oh! Oh! Oh!) x2

Rapunzel let down your brown hair
it flows down like a river
goin' no where
Prince Charming knows all the right words
to bad my hair is an extension...

Oh! Prince this is the end!
Take your bow- this fantasy is over
Oh! Take it back to the castle!
'Cause now this damsel is sober.
~


Corny? Yes. But that's what I've got! :D tell me what you think, or if you write your own songs- message me and I can post them to my blog! XOXO <3 TTFN!(ta ta for now!)
