4.30.2007
4.22.2007
a quick 4 day summary. get ready
April 22 – first show ever on a cruise ship.
We have two shows tonight. Awesome. Hats off. Awesomer….nope. anways, MATT…
Matt, so I’m borrowing jess’s email card right now and I get paid on the 30th so at that time I can get a phone card and an internet card and then I can call you and shower you with love and attention and ask about your day and listen to your problems and resume regular boyfriend activities. I’m so sorry its been this long since we’ve talked but its been really hectic since we’ve boarded and all we’ve done is rehearse, take a few hour nap, eat, then rehearse again. Some peoples cell phones work on the ship but mine doesn’t, plus its turned off to save money. Anyways, I love you and I miss you terribly and everybody is worried we haven’t talked, they can tell I’m down cause I haven’t heard or talked to you so they’re here for us. Hehe. I love you and will talk to you soon, I promise. Until then, and until I get my own card this will be my only way of contact. I love you
Hi mom and dad. I’m alive, I’m in Barcelona right now but we can’t get off the ship cause of rehearsals. Dad, its kinda ugly but then again, its just a port so its lots of cranes and Spanish. But that is all. Love you all, tell Dude’r I said hi
Its 5 oclock here and I’m gonna take a nap before my 7:30 call. Dancing on a rocky ship takes a lot of focus and so doesn’t dancing a show that’s still not in my muscle memory. I’ll speak to you all in person as soon as I get paid on the 30th. Also, to all my friends. HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII, I miss you all, I can’t wait to come back and hang out again, I miss dry land.
April 21, 2007 day of rehearsals and meetings
Really all we’ve done is rehearse and go to safety meetings. The safety officer is really hot for an older man he’s from Australia and says that my name is about as American as they get, I was like yeah, me and the 8 other jeb’s in the world. Whatever, he’s married so no worries matty. Like I said we haven’t done much so that was about the excitement of the day.
The food here is good we just eat so often I’m feeling heavy, once hell weeks are over I’ll be just fine with the gym and food and the views. Its been really really rocky and wavey today and my head is feeling not so hot. I’m not nautious just really lightheaded and lost. We have a full dress rehearsal tonight at midnight so I can just imagine how fun that will be. NOPE. Anyways, I’ve found a way to maybe get online or make a phone call without it being in 2 months. We get paid on the 30th so only 8 more days. Hopefully though I’ll borrow somebody’s internet before then and then you can all read this and I can talk to my parents and matt. I miss them and need their voices right now. Ok. I’m gonna go to bed and then go to rehearsal and then go to bed again. Later
April 20, 2007. it’s the day of the ship y’all
Bus ride through Lisbon, seeing ancient buildings and statues, saw a giant cross by the ocean (christo de reos or something like that), got on board the ship.
They say this ship is small but its freakin huge to me man. Its soooooooo pretty and so regal and boy does it rock and roll on the ocean. I wish I could say more but we’ve been in rehearsals since we boarded the ship at 8 and no its 4 in the morning. I’m done y’all. We’ve had meetings, quick dinners in the Lido(its like a fancy buffet of sorts). The next few weeks will be like this so I won’t have time to post or call or anything. For that matter, I don’t even have the money to buy an internet card or phone card. Won’t get that money till direct deposit starts in two months. I’m gonna try to find a way to get money early. I hate being broke.
I’m also gonna work on getting some pictures so I don’t have to type out all of the descriptions of the places on board. I’ll say this, my room is tiny(about the size of your bedroom matt, including my bathroom and the theatre is gold and maroon. Its really pretty. Back stage is non-existant and I fit into the costumes JUST FINE. So suck on that stiletto. Anyways, its late I’m tired and I love you matt. I will call you soon, I’m gonna have to borrow somebody’s phone card and pay them back later. I adore you and miss you terribly.
p.s. if you’re reading this I flirted my way onto the internet so all I could do was post this and maybe check my email. These next few weeks are gonna be chaotic. Change over ends may 6…that means all my shows will have been blocked and rehearsed and my daily schedule will consist of laying out, working out (in the massive gym that overlooks the ocean) and eating in the lido, and sending emails and phone calls. Love you all. G’night
p.s.s. I can hear the waves crashing outside against the ship as I sleep. I have no windows but I bet its pretty. The ship is constantly rocking so imagine laying in bed and slightly rolling from side to side, or thinking you’re about to roll from side to side. And dancing on a ship sucks, I kinda hate it. I just like for the floor to be there when I land, tonight we started to list or tilt to one side and it made dancing kinda fun. Haha. Sucked
April 18/19 2007…..held at gunpoint burning in tihijuana
Turns out stiletto knew what happened to our costumes and luggage all along. The fed-ex truck was hijacked in LA, held at gunpoint, stripped, and then the truck was burned. Shitty part is is that we had to find out from another cast on accident. Stiletto couldn’t even tell us upfront what happened to our things. Estimated losses are at about 500,000 dollars. All I can say is I better get my share. This bitch needs some money. 23 cents isn’t gonna get me very far in Europe. Anways, I’ll do what we do when Janelle starts talking. NEXT
Traveling to Lisbon portugul
Left LA at noon got to germany, Frankfort germany by 10 the next day…hence the slash in the title. A 10.5 hour flight with two infant twins, a 3 year old, and a man that kept staring at me and having to watch the latest Rocky movie. Prolly not my ideal experience but non the less eventful.
We got to germany and well yeah, had a lay over. The animal crackers are really good there, so is the diet coke. Its called cocacola light however. Lots of cool guys with sweet hairstyles. I was slightly jealous.
We get on the plane to head to portugul and whats the first thing I see…..THE FREAKIN SWISS/FRENCH ALPS.. they were so gorgeous. They took me breath away, all the way from the plane. Being up that high and seeing something that big was just cool. Right now I’m typing this while we fly over spain and the rest of france. Kinda cool. Definatley a moment.
We get to our hotel around 4 and have all night to just chill. We board our ship tomorrow at 8 in the morning, have a meeting, then go straight into rehearsals till the wee hours of the morning. I’m really excited but kinda sad at the same time because I really want to be experiencing this wilth the ones I love. Yeah sure my cast is sweet and hella fun and that one annoying girl proved to be the worst traveler ever (bags too heavy to load on the plain and then had metal tipped darts in her carry-on. I mean SERISOULY. Everything has been an ordeal with her. Over it). But my point is that I wish matt was here to see these things with me. Him and I want my dad here so he can tell me all about what I’m seeing. I don’t wanna get all mushy but I kinda had a mini moment on the flight to germany when I had no phone, no internet, and no money to contact matt or my family. I’m not sure how I’m gonna handle not talking or hearing them every day. Guess I’ll just have to find out. I guess it doesn’t help that the books I’ve read have all involved some kind of great love story (not even the main theme) but the author has one and it makes me miss the one I have.
I’m sure most of you could have gone your whole life without every knowing that but that’s what you get for reading my blog. Sucka
More to come after I land. I’m stoked
So the area of Lisbon we were stayin in was very industrial looking. Lots of concrete buildings that all looked the same, apartment buildings. Kinda what you would imagine soviet Russia or Germany to look like back in the day. We stayed at a Hilton and the hotel was is very very modern with hardwood floors and platform beds. Pretty sweet. You turn the lights on by putting your room key in the wall. They had that in japan too. Catch up America, catch up.
Blah blah blah we had dinner and walked around but things were closed.
We have two shows tonight. Awesome. Hats off. Awesomer….nope. anways, MATT…

ahhhhhhhhhhh, i leave tomorrow
holy crap the day is finally here. we do our last rehearsal day today and even though its 8 oclock i'm soooooooooooooo ready. i can't wait to get on the ship, see the world and get skinny.
in the past few days i've chopped all my hair off and slowly started to pack. we sent some stuff early in our costume boxes so that our bags wouldn't weigh as much....but those boxes and all of our things got lost. thats hundreds of dollars worth of things, lost. watches, reading glasses, dress shoes, tennis shoes, harddrives, electronic cords, bath supplies, you name it its lost somewhere. i feel bad for the girls becasue a lot of them had gowns and personal pictures and family memorabilia in those bags. its really irritating but we have to have faith and keep hoping those things will be found. on top of our personal losses, the costumes for our brand new show showgirl are gone as well. we may not even get to do that show. annoying right.
anyways, i leave tomorrow for lisbon, portugal and i can't freakin wait. its gonna be hard not being a phone call away from matt or my family but i will find a way to make it work. this 6 months is gonna fly by, hope i'm ready.
of to rehearsal...MY LAST ONE.

4.14.2007
get your dancin shoes, try this one out
we've learned 5 shows with an average of between 20-30 numbers in each. do the math and you'll suddenly understand why i'm so tired and so dead and so OVER dancing for a cruise. i haven't even got on a damn ship yet and i'm spent. normally i wouldn't complain but when each number has so many step touches and ball changes and awkward transitions and creaping on stage on 3 or 6 versus the type 1 or 5 can really drive you crazy. the choreography is so so so so sooooooooooo jacked sometimes that when it all adds up you end up just standing there and laughing cause you're so confused.
that has been me lately. i would try to give an example but you would just have to see it. i'll say this though, chasse left step right for a switch middle to the right on 1, land 3, cross behind with your left foot but dont' turn out of the jump on that count 3, single arabesque turn to the right on 4, end the turn short to run back stage left on 5, 6, chaine left 7,8 left fan kick to the ground on 1. after that there is a sweet chaine tilt kick that all travels right into an unwind right lunge facing back to stage left(where you just came from, opposite of the direction your body is turning towards) on count 4.
now, if any of you dance, i challege you to stand up and try this right now. if you have any questions or problems please feel free to call me and i'll coach you through it. basically it boils down to its a dance that could be tricked out and fierce and everything a little competition kid could ever want...but its not. its a bowl full of awkward and trying to hard and everybody looks ugly doing it. i won't even get started on how fast it is, thats a whole other story.
wow, that was a lot. needless to say i'm done learning and now all i ahve left is a hair cut and three days of review and then i'm off to the mediterranean baby. get me the hell outta here. byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
also, i'm ready to leave becasue people no longer say hello to me. its "i thought you were cutting your hair" or "i dont' know if they've talked to you about this but...." or "how's the weight coming?" or its them asking my cast if i really do go to the gym. all that bullshit wears on you and frankly i'm over it and ready to get on a ship with a free gym and the mediterranean as my backdrop and free salad bar. so that when i'm done i can send a picture back of me looking good with a big ol, HIRE THIS printed on it. its all so petty. this business is petty and full of cowards who are too afraid to talk to you so they find as many ways as possible to tell you without telling you. its old y'all. as is my venting
love you
finally, matt is the freakin best and cutest guy ever. also sis, i love you

april 12...on blast
holy crap. i hate 4 to midnight rehearsals. tomorrow is our last day of learning so that is gettin me through. we took our group picture today for our board. each cast makes a poster or a board and hang them on the walls at the rehearsal studios. we took our picture in black and white and each had something red on for a color accent. so the only color you'll see is the red. its fierce. me and mashawn are in charge of the board so i'm gonna try to make it look real good.
other than that we are all just tired and at our end. that annoying girl is butting heads with people and we've all started just calling her out on it. she's really pissin people off. i've been playing the therapist role for her but i tell you what, if she calls me out on anything i'm gonna blast that bitch. we've had it. other than that we are all ready for the ship. its time to get the hell outta rehearsal and on to the mediterranean.
again, i'm sorry for the days gone by with no posting. exciting times are about to begin. buckle up.
love you

april 6th
ok so i know i've been slackin on the posts but does anybody even read these? i mean, i started the blog to save on my phone bill but i'm wonderin if its worth it. rehearsals are more of the same and i feel like once i'm out in the mediterranean the posts will get a little cool, what with the pictures and all.
anyways, things are good. we learned our 4th show today, finished it i should say, and we start our last one tomorrow. i have one week and 3 days left of this mess and then i'm in EUROPE. i cannot express how excited i am to be done with rehearsals. people are telling me i look really skinny which is freakin awesome considering how much crap i got for it when i first came here.
also, i think dad you denied matt as a friend on myspace. not sure if it was becasuse you don't know him and not too familiar with myspace of if its cause you just dont want to be his friend. either way, haha, it was funny.
also, my left sinus hurts and i started tumbling again today. i did a roundoff layout. i'm working to get it really high again like it used to be and possibly making it a step-out. anything to make it cooler than the guy who did it before me. bitch.
anyways, i'm going to bed. i'll post tomorrow after we learn the new show, we're going out as a cast so i'm sure something exciting will happen.
love you

April 3rd....positive vs negative
i'll start with the positive, maybe it will make the negative less so.
all the work is starting to show and my body is changing....its about F-ing time. glad my body finally decided to wake up. and i'm not as sick as i was. still have a sweet cough but at least the infection and pressure is mostly gone. and i'm at a really good place mentally, ready to get on that damn ship and go see the world.
negative. one of our cast members is a freakin drama queen but in the sense that she says she's always being ignored and nobody listens to her ideas and is always asking what is going on. WELL MAYBE IF YOU GOT OFF YOUR DAMN PHONE AND PAID ATTENTION TO WHAT WAS GOING ON YOU WOULD KNOW SOMETHING...BITCH. i'm at my end man. the other day i was asking what people wanted to do for easter and she called me out saying i didn't ask her and that we never listen to her ideas and she was being ignored. i tore into her. i had a sinus infection, a fever, and was laying down trying not to die and that bitch pissed me off. i told her what was up and that she is making shit up because we were TALKING about her idea and i didn't ask her cause the people i was asking talked to me earlier that day about that topic. dumbass. girl i was mad. anyways, so i was the one that confronted her for everybody else even though i'm not that confrontational. i let it cool off, she cried and immediatley got on her phone, SHOCK, and went up to her later and apologized for my language but that she needs to know people don't ignore her and she secludes herself by always being on the phone. i'm talking 23 hours of the day, no lies. well all be together walking somewhere and she'll be behind the group talking on her phone. but if you call her out on it she gets mad and cries. our cast is really really tight but this ho is about to cause a war. can't wait
also, we learned a dance tonight that an addiction to speed and cocaine couldn't cure. its so rediculous we all just stopped in the middle, sat in one hip, and glared at the teachers. its not their fault cause its not their choreo, i mean, they couldn't even do it, its jon charrons fault. you'll recognize him from previous posts. he's worse than kelli stephens y'all. every and count has a movement and the song is super speed. like that song wipe out, it ain't got nothing on this version of "good love". its an oldie, you older folk might recognize it from the car hops and drive in movies or whatever you did back in the good ol days. yeah, we learned it from 9-midnight. maybe not the best idea since the first 4 hours of rehearsal were spent doing NOTHING. should have learned it while we had a fresh mind and weren't so bitter. thats all i can say really, its getting me pissed just thinking about it.
oh i forgot, positive. finally got my leg spin today, doing a turn while my leg is by me head. its hot. and i did a backhandspring step out today for the first time...AND that jump blake did on so you think you can dance where you do a jump foward, grab your front leg, and when you land roll out of it. mom, i'm sure you know exactly what i'm talking about. haha. i'll show you when i get home or i'll send a video home. i'm tired and i'm going to bed
love you. the end
