so i havem't posted since i've been in l.a. It was a LOT of fun.
we drove the six hours there on thursday morning(we left at 7 in the morning) and chilled at our hotel for a little bit. Then at five we all dressed up in fancy clothes and left for the Walt Disney Concert hall.
it was SO COOL. My mom had me and my brother watch a documentry about it with her, which was actually not that bad. It was mostly about the architect who made it(Frank Gehry) and he seems pretty cool
anyways, we saw the opera "Le Nozze Figaro"(the marriage of figero) there. It's the second opera in a trilogy, and its really good. It has a really complicated plot though...yeah. So the reason we went to see this opera is because my dad's cousin Leah is in it. She's about 33, and she's an opera singer. A mezzo soprano(they sing really high). She played Cherubino in the play, who is the young hopeless romantic, who comes, flirts with all the girls and generally screws things up for everyone. She had to act all in love with other girls..i find that really hard to do. I have friends who are bi, and whenever they talk about it i always feel left out-i'm the awkward one out, because im totally straight. One of my friends says i'm a prude but i'm really not-I'm just not comfortable with girls coming so close to me that we're almost kissing...is that prudish? I think not. Anyways Leah was really really good. Opera(for me)is like everything i like about musical theater(the singing, the dramatic-ness)without all the things i don't like as much(the dancing, the serious acting). It seems really cool, but really hard
My dad's cousin has a little daughter, whose almost 3 now. She's ADORABLE but she doesn't really have any friends. She constantly moves around the world with her mom and her dad, and her parents were having trouble with deciding how to send her to daycare because in her first two weeks her mom is doing a project which is two hours away, which would mean that she wouldn't see her mom a lot. We hung out with them all day on friday, and I got a really cute dress(at forever 21)which i think i'll wear to my piano recital on sunday. I also got a really nice tan(although my wrists arent tan in the place where i have my brazil bracelet...thats kinda awkward)
on saturday we went to the Getty Museum. which was pretty cool. Then we drove back home. I'm gonna post another post in a minute detailing my weekend after that
