More mentionings.

Today was one of those days that you go through expecting nothing, but actually get a pretty good ending to. There is nothing better than a day that ends with a smile. Today was one of those days that you forget soon, but in reality is pretty close to the ideal day. Nothing terrible happened, and I have neither good or bad feelings about today. There was a fair balance of emotion in everything that happened too. I got a little frustrated this afternoon, but not too frustrated. I got a little lonely, but not too lonely. Then I felt happy, but not not too overjoyed to where I went crazy. Most importantly, I didn't make a fool of myself at all today.

Tonight was "dress rehearsal" for Joyland, which is the church play we're showing this weekend. Tomorrow night is the first show, a "dinner theatre". I'm not nervous at all. Tonight and last night put together, we've run through the show four times and we've only improved. I'm ready, and so are the two actresses who play opposite me, so I feel confident. There's nothing worse than getting a part with someone who can't remember any lines and/or has no adlib theory.

I learned how to play this really good praise song called "Rescue" today. The chord for it were all fierce looking, but I looked them up and they turned out to be pretty easy. Lawrence and Andy did a version of this song for an offertory once at church, so I have a little inspiration for my own version. We're gonna work on it and perform it at the Grounds.

I guess I never mentioned that I've sort of got a little band thing going. Yeah, so far, we're only playing praise stuff at the Grounds, but it's a lot of fun. And what better music to start out playing than praise stuff? I love it. Eventually, I hope we all get good enough at what we're doing that we can actually start writing and performing originals, but we'll see how it goes.

School's out for me. I took my last final on Wednesday, so I've been having a little relaxation time here in the mornings. However, working at Sonic hangs over my head like a something dead because I'm beginning to dread the slow winter season up there. Stand around for five hours, get paid. Sounds easy, but it sucks. Not easy when you're trying to look like you're doing something. We just grab a cloth from the sink and wipe things down, everything. We throw ketchup and napkins in bags. Clean ceilings. All day.

But at least I'm getting a good paycheck this time around. Christmas is gonna be good this year. I haven't done any shopping yet, but I've got some good ideas. Anyways, I'm gonna head to the kitchen on the way to bed and then off to sleep. Until next time.
