Who knew I'd be standing in an empty Broadway theatre, on its stage with the spotlight blinding me, and making out with Darren Criss who had just been serenading about his love for me. You're probably saying, "Woah! What the hell have I been missing?"
I'd be declaring the same thing or other if I were in your shoes. To be frank, at first I was thinking what the heck? Is this really happening? Am I truly locking lips with my celebrity crush?
You're also maybe wondering how I've come to be in this situation. I mean, you don't just make out with someone randomly in a Broadway theatre, except the fact that you could be rehearsing for a scene. This was a real kiss. One only out of a fairytale book, Glee, or a musical. I could feel all of our passions melding together in one type of bondage. Love. So let's hit it!

To tell you the truth, there are multiple beginnings, one could say it began when I came to New York City and watched my very first Broadway show, Wicked, at thirteen ( which was my inspiration for going to Juliard), binge watching Glee on Fox and Netflix ( I get the feels thinking about Finn, Klaine, the song "This Time", and the end of the show), or the decision to move to NYC at eighteen to pursue my dreams on Broadway and Juliard. How about I give a short synopsis of all three. You decide which seems more like a beginning to you.

Eleven Years Ago: First Broadway Show (Wicked)
My parents, after seventh grade and my first lead role in my school's production of Sound of Musical as Liesel (I was one of the tallest girls and I looked sixteen) they took me to New York to see the Broadway smash, Wicked. I remember putting on this new a frame peach dress, curling my blonde locks, and feeling all giddy on the inside. The colors, the songs, and the passion of the musical really impacted me in a powerful way. For weeks and in agonizing repetition, I kept singing " Defying Gravity" and "For Good". They weren't bad renditions, but my parents did grow persistently annoyed. In high school, I tried out for every school musical production that were open. I performed in at least three musicals each year. That was also the start of my career as a make-up artist. I was strangely obsessed with Elphaba's green skin.

Ninth Grade:

Grease: Frenchie
Bye, Bye Birdie: Gloria Rasputin ( I'm a talented blonde, I guess)
The Rocky Horror Show: Magenta

Tenth Grade:

Les Miserables: Eponine
Anything Goes: Hope Harcourt
( Sophomore Year was a difficult one)

Eleventh Grade:

Sweeney Todd: Ensemble
A Potter Musical: Luna Love good
Hairspray: Penny Pinkleton

Twelth Grade:

West Side Story: Graziella
Wicked: Elphaba ( I had to wear a wig, I couldn't hit Glinda's high notes...The " ga" is silent (Anyone, get it?)
Mamma Mia: Sophie\ Donna Understudy

(That year became my prime focus on acting and a representative from Juliard came for my performances of Wicked and Mamma Mia, which gained me a scholarship. Yes!)

Glee: The Start of My Love for Darren Criss

One night, sitting in my dorm room, roommate probably having a one night stand after a party full of wasted people, I'm eating some crap take-out Chinese, sitting on the couch, and absent mindedly scrolling through the scarce television channels provided by the cable payed for by Juliard. Then I came to Fox. American Idol just concluded one episode and in bold words it was the series premiere of a show called "Glee". I decided to try it, to discover if it was worth my while. I thought it was pretty good, as far as shows go. I almost despised every character, except for
Mercedes and Kurt. I became hooked from the beginning. I either had to blow off plans on Thursday or record it. Then when season two came around, a new character appeared on the show. The character was named Blaine.
After listening to his rendition of of Katy Perry's " Teenage Dream", I knew that was the one person I craved to sing a duet with (I had so many day dreams about it was almost getting as creepy as envisioning us getting married). I couldln't help but shake off the feeling that he seemed familiar. As it turned out, he had portrayed a small cameo roll in the music video of "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F). I also discovered that his name was Darren Criss. I was pretty much in love with him. I pissed off a lot of people. Especially my roommate. Even though she was angry with the world.
When he performed on Broadway, I was there. I even tried out for that singing show, I believe it was called the Glee Project, you won the chance to be on Glee. I managed to stay in for a few rounds, but never won. I met him...I swear I was Gleeking out about it ( Pretty bad attempt at humor, right?). We didn't even speak at all outside the show. Still I hope to actually have a conversation with him. Even get to sing a duet with Darren. It will happen! Literally!

Well this next synopsis is short. Basically as I said before, I got accepted on a full drama scholarship from Juliard School in New York. I accepted without a second thought. I graduated after four years of extremely painstaking hours of work. Now two years later, my name hasn't become known. Now I will discover my big break within a musical called Soul Sister. I will audition with "Defying Gravity", as you will discover. I will find it is a hard road to Broadway fame. Also it is hard to find any other time to explain how I've ended making out with Darren Criss.
