So I'm TOTALLY Gonna Do This Whole "Blogging" Thing!

[Melonie]

Hey yall! Welcome to my first official post-de-blog! My name is Melonie aka MELONIE BAILEY! [If you come to Albright, you'll notice that many people like to scream my name on campus...especially when I give tours] and I am a junior [AHHHHHH 1/2 OF MY COLLEGE CAREER IS DONE =[ ] and I'm going through a bit of a mid-college crisis. I'm a Theatre & Communications major at lovely old Albright! I'm involved in numerous groups on campus such as the Domino Players Theatre Company, Less Than or Equal To Improv & Sketch Comedy Troupe [gee thats a long name], The Alternative Spring Break Club, and an Ambassador to name a few! And I'm here to tell you about ME and MY LIFE! So lets begin! :D

Todays Topic: My summer so far!

WOW ITS JULY! This summer seems to be going by uber fast, but I guess thats because I've been trying to keep busy. I've been spending most of my time working away at a country club snack bar serving up snacks to people with names like "Winston Worthington", and for the days I'm not working I've been either hanging out with my buddies or running off to NYC :] On my most recent trip I went to the Stardust Diner on Broadway where the waiters & waitresses sing [kinda like ongoing staff karaoke] and it was SUPER AWESOME because our waiter was adorable and he even let me sing a bit. Then I went to the Museum of Natural History [yes I was on a little bit of a Night At The Museum rush] and it was a pretty good time! It was hilarious how many of the kids there were walking around quoting lines from the movie......ok I was doing it too XD. Oh and some random guy there who was at the diner before came up to me and was like "Hey were you just at the Stardust diner" and I was like "Yup" and he was like "Ah I heard you singing! Good job!" and I was like "Well thank you sir!". Broadway here I come! Lol

I've also recently been seeing this new musical Next To Normal, and I say seeing because I've gone three times so far :] I continue to go back because a] the show is made out of pure AWESOME b] the early rush tickets are only $25 and c] THESHOWISAWESOME! Oh and the actors in it are SUPER NICE! After the show at the stage door when you wait for autographs/pictures they actually take time and talk to everyone individually and they recognized my friend and I the second time we went! Oh and one of them, Aaron Tveit who is just simply made of wonderful said and I quote "You have beautiful eyes! I mean I just looked up and wow...gorgeous." After he said that I was literally floating. Needless to say it made my life :] So all in all If you are in the NYC area anytime during your summer shananagins I strongly urge you to see it! It will be the best emotional rollercoaster you've ever been on!

Hmmm...other fun summer-things....Oh so I saw The Hangover, which I'm sure everyone in the WORLD has done by now, and it was QUITE the laugh! The Tiger Song doth be my current ringtone :D

Sooo...hope ya enjoyed reading my little blurp! More shall be on the way!
