A long while ago i tried out for the musical Ragtime and i got in. go me, but i also made call backs for one of the leads: Evelyn. Evelyn is the most beautiful woman in america she lives for dancing and singing; Vaudeville. I so wanted to be Evelyn, but unfortunately when i checked the cast list, Molly Rood got the part. I was so devestated. I cried a lot.

THEN, i accepted the fact that i was not evelyn and moved on. Everything was perfectly fine, UNTIL Molly began to lose her voice. it was in really bad shape, but now it's kinda coming back and our directer, Mr.Mayo, decided to make me the understudy where i learn all of her parts, everything she does just in case she loses her voice and her music directer thinks that it is a good possiblitly that she may not last throughout all three shows.

i kinda really didn't want to be her understudy because that was a role that i really, really wanted and the fact that i have to learn all of her parts and possibly do NOTHING with them if she has her voice. Which is hurtful becuse it sucks. just sucks.

sometimes i have really mean thoughts and hope that she doesn't get her voice back because i really want to do it, but at the same time i feel bad for her because she has been working hard for the past 2 months on this role and if she loses her voice, she's useless.

so, i have these back and forth feelings about, will i get to do it? will i not get to do it? All that is based on what people have told me. From the very start, everyone has believed that i am the better evelyn. Then i have other people saying," oh i think she'll be fine." BLAH!

Today, my music teacher, Mr.Heise, pulled me into the choir room to teach me all of evelyn's singing parts. Then afterwards i ended up telling him how crappy i felt about being the understudy and he told me that he thinks that I am a great person because even though i am feeling the way i do about being the under study, i am still doing it even with the pain it's causing me. He said that he think's i'm awsome and that that shows i have great character.

he also said that when getting the role for evelyn, it really came down to the little stuff like dizyness and the fact that she had blonde hair and i have red. Mr.Mayo told me that they were putting a red wig on Molly because she didn't have red hair. (which would look REALLY bad on her, but everyone loves it on me and i already have red hair. Mr.Heise said that he knew from the very beginning that i could have been evelyn, but it all came down to the little stuff.

so technically, i am the better evelyn, but will i be able to show everyone? i don't know but it makes me want to cry when i think about it too much and it's hard not to. This is really important to me. I want to pursue a career in music; i want to prove myself.

is it selfish to want nice and good things or am i just selfish?

my friends say i'm human, but sometimes i just feel plain selfish, as if i'm asking for too much because i hardly ever get what i want.

Perilous spot on Fox claims 3 more lives
Yorkville dam is at top of state's repair-project list

By Antonio Olivo and Jamie Francisco
Tribune staff reporters
Published May 29, 2006


As the summer kayaking season kicked off its first weekend, three men drowned near the Glen D. Palmer Dam on the Fox River in Yorkville, a notoriously dangerous spot that state officials have been preparing to fix for two years.

The accident occurred about 1 p.m. Saturday, when two brothers tried to rescue Villa Park resident Craig Fliege, 38, who had rowed his kayak too close to the edge of the dam.

Bruce Sperling, 32, a youth pastor at a church in Lombard, and Mark Sperling, 27, owner of a home construction business, noticed Fliege caught in the whirlpool-like currents and ran into the river to try to save him, officials said. The brothers also got sucked under in the currents, which have claimed the lives of at least 13 people since the dam was built in 1960.

As news of the accident spread Sunday, local activists who have long sought to tear down the dam criticized the state Department of Natural Resources for taking too long to eliminate the safety hazard.

"It's something that has happened in the past, and if the dam is there, it'll happen again," said Tom Schrader, vice president of the non-profit Friends of the Fox River. "Sometimes people think it's a thrill to ride these rapids. They'll try to go over the dams."

Since 2004, the Department of Natural Resources has been preparing a multimillion-dollar renovation of the dam that would make it less hazardous, said Gary Clark, director of the agency's Office of Water Resources.

The planned improvements include a canoe chute that would allow boaters to go around the dam while traveling downstream, Clark said.

"We were hoping to get it fixed before we had another accident there," Clark said. "This was selected as our No. 1 project."

The dam's hazards are deceptive, with the river remaining shallow for several hundred yards before a sudden drop close to the dam's edge that creates a fierce rolling undertow that can knock a person off his feet, officials said. Signs posted along the dam's bank list the dates of drownings there since the late 1960s.

On Saturday, Fliege rowed past buoys warning of the dam's hazards, said Greg Freeman, who rents canoes and kayaks near the dam and watched the rescue attempt unfold through binoculars.

"When he got 30 to 40 feet away from the dam, he put on his life jacket," Freeman said. "It looked to me like he was talking on a cell phone right before he went over."

Freeman said he put down his binoculars to call 911. When he picked up the binoculars again, he saw the Sperling brothers--who had been preparing to rent a canoe from him--sprinting toward the water.

"It's terrible the way it happened. They just didn't realize the power of the water," he said. "If you get into that boil, you're dead. There's no second chances."

Bruce Sperling Sr., father of the two brothers, said he has often worried about the dam's safety while visiting his son Mark, who lived across Mill Street from the structure. The two brothers had lately been canoeing a lot together as a way to get past the death last year of their mother, he said.

"They were just trying to spend an afternoon together to relax," the elder Sperling said, his voice growing hoarse during a break in funeral arrangements for his two sons. He added that he was not surprised to learn that his sons tried to rescue Fliege.

"Both of them lived their lives like that, doing whatever they could do to help people," he said.

That commitment was deeply felt at Lombard Bible Church, where Bruce Sperling had been a youth pastor the last four years.

On Sunday, church members spent hours sharing memories of how the energetic young pastor changed their lives and how he had often rescued many from their own roiling waters.

"He was Christ-like," said Lisa McKay, whose son Mike turned to Bruce Sperling when she and her husband were having marital problems. He wound up counseling the entire family.

On Saturday, hours before he died, Bruce Sperling and other church members helped renovate a Lombard senior citizen's home as part of a weekend message about the parable of the good Samaritan, McKay said.

"That's what he was, the good Samaritan of Lombard," she said. "He was always going out of his way to help someone."

Several among a group of about 40 students who were part of Bruce Sperling's youth ministry wept openly over the loss of a man many considered their best friend.

Here are a few reasons
why guys like girls:

1.
They will always smell good
even if its just shampoo

2.
The way their heads always
find the right spot on our shoulder

3.
How cute they look when they sleep

4.
The ease in which they fit into our arms

5.
The way they kiss you and
all of a sudden everything
is right in the world

6.
How cute they are when they eat

7.
The way they take hours
to get dressed
but in the end
it makes it all worth while

8.
Because they are always
warm even when its minus 30 outside

9.
The way they look good
no matter what they wear

10.
The way they fish for compliments
even though you both know that you
think she's the most
beautiful thing on this earth

11.
How cute they are when they argue

12.
The way her hand always finds yours

13.
The way they smile

14.
The way you feel
when you see their name
on the call ID
after you just had a big fight

15.
The way she says
"lets not fight anymore"
even though you know that
an hour later....

16.
The way they kiss when
you do something nice for them

17.
The way they kiss you
when you say
"I love you"

18.
Actually ...
just the way they kiss you...

19.
The way they fall into your arms
when they cry

20.
Then the way they apologize
for crying over something that silly

21.
The way they hit you
and expect it to hurt

22.
Then the way they apologize
when it does hurt.
(even though we don't admit it)!

23.
The way they say
"I miss you"

24.
The way you miss them

25.
The way their tears
make you want to
change the world
so that it
doesn't hurt her anymore.....
Yet regardless
if you love them,
hate them,
wish they would die
or
know that you would die
without them ...
it matters not.
Because once in your life,
whatever they were to the world
they become everything to you.
When you look them in the eyes,
traveling to
the depths of their souls
and
you say a million things
without trace of a sound,
you know that your own life
is inevitable consumed
within the rhythmic beatings
of her very heart.
We love them for a million reasons,
No paper would do it justice.
It is a thing not of the mind
but of the heart.
A feeling.
Only felt. ]]> ~ModestPoe http://ModestPoe.deviantart.com/journal/5808984/ http://ModestPoe.deviantart.com/journal/5808984/ Fri, 01 Jul 2005 06:29:30 PDT @) I have a new favorite band and song

'Cause I grew a little tail.

It was absolutely giant!
And it really was attractive

Well, when the hunters caught you
I could see that I'd been foolish
'Cause I couldn't even help you
No, I couldn't even fly.
And I got so very frightened
'Cause I knew I had to save you.
No one else was gonna go to all the labor.
It was all up to me,
All you had was your next door neighbor.

But suddenly, Gertrude could sail!

GERTRUDE (dramatically)
I sailed on a junk
And was practically sunk
For you.
I trampled thorough the trees
Full of furious bees
For you.
I slogged through a fog
And a choking smog
Down a soggy slope
Through a stinking bog
While my slip was gripped
By a vicious dog
For you.

GERTRUDE BIRD GIRLS
I galloped through the snow ooh...
In eleven below
For you.
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yes, even though I knew ooh...
I was catching the flu
For you
(achoo!) (achoo!)
And then came the hole ooh
Where I caught my sole ooh
And I rolled downhill ooh
Out of all control ooh
'Till I broke my fall
On a jagged shoal
For you!
ooh, ooh, ooh, ahh!
All for you
All for you
All for you
All for you
There's nothing that I
Wouldn't
And I couldn't
And I haven't gone through...

That I've hidden with great diligence and labor...
Behind the façade
Of your odd little next-door neighbor.

My eyes are too small.
I have very large feet.
And I'm not very proud of my pitiful tweet
But I've now got a tail
That is something to see...

One hundred and two. One hundred and three.

Oh, notice me, Horton, feather by feather.
This is your next-door neighbor calling!
Notice me, Horton.
Horton, together
We could be great
Oh, notice me, Horton
Put down the clover!
This is your next door neighbor calling.
There's a new leaf
Your neighbor's turned over

Over and over,
Clover by clover...

Who has someone to believe in

When I noticed your kind
And your powerful heart.
