Repent!

I just had the most delightful experience in my acting class. After seeing one of the gals perform and off-the-wall song, I decided I wanted such an experience, so I asked Rachel (the only other LDS girl in the class) to direct me in a number called Repent.

It is a saucy little number from a musical set in the 1940's called On the Twentieth Century. For those of you who remember Imogene Coca...she did the role. The character is a bit demented, but lovable. This song is all about her calling everyone to repentance for their 'dirty little doings.' At the end of the song, it is revealed that she ALSO did those dirty little doings, but she was called to repentance...and saw the light! Fortunately, as she explains, this did NOT happen until she had done it all! The song leaves to your imagination what the word ALL connotes...tee hee

It was a very physical song, and during our final rehearsal onstage, I was sitting a box, and when I went to get up, the box collapsed...and I did the same! I crashed to the floor, but fortunately I just went plop...right onto my nicely cushioned derriere. It was quite funny, and would have been a good bit in the number, had I the dexterity to quickly upright myself. Fortunately, I suffered nary an ill effect from the fall...fat comes in handy sometimes.. I am excited to be able to perform it in a benefit called Fundtastic Follies, a fundraiser for a local community theater in Camarillo.

Hello! This is your long lost family member 'chrisitina'. Remember me?? I've been busy working two jobs but i'm quiting the gas station one. Anyways not a whole lot going on here, just at the hopsital working. All the pts are sleeping and i've done everything that needs to be done, so here i am talking to you guys. My parents say brandon is doing pretty good other then being a little nauseous. He should be coming home the 15th or 16th. Thanks for all your support and prayers. I'm also greatful to the community and officers and his buddies for saving my baby brothers life (he's going to kill me for calling him that). So i'm thinking i might go home an hour and a half early since i came in that early to take over another CNAs shift. So i'll catch you all later! And hey we need to have one of those yummy country dinners again april! They are so fun!

Brandon Tongan?



President Bateman was being given emeritus status as a general authority and so Brandon's friends stake (the polynesian stake) asked Brandon to join them in one of their dances.

It was a really great experience for him and for all who were in attendance. There were 1,000 or more people there and each ward represented a different country. They all performed dances from the country they were assigned.
