When was the last time you cried?  Oh, I am not really a crier — it had to be months ago, but I can’t remember why.

Do you have kids?  No! Definitely not for a very long time.

Do you use sarcasm?  Sometimes, maybe. I guess.

What's the first thing you notice about people? It weird to say but their vibe? I just get a feeling when I meet someone new (no, not the first impression mod) just like I know what kind of person they are from the vibe they give off.

Dumbest thought of the day:

Prima ballerina Adam

Douche bag manager Hoffman (mans is secretly a dancer but life happened and now he's a bitter man who dances I secret)

Ballerina bff Amanda

(Only open if you wanna see my incoherent sleep deprived ramblings. I haven't slept in 2 days because insomnia and my anxiety has decided to 🎶 kick it up a notch 🎶 I currently have no filter)

Obsessed audience member that wants Adam...idk probably William or Logan...fuck it it's Ivan

Logan works in props

William (this is emmerson schenk whatever btw) works with the lights

Theater owners John and Jill (they hate hoffman and love Adam)

Buff head stangehand Strahm

Zeke is a principal dancer as well and they whore him out to film and other theater productions (they can spare him but not Adam because Adam puts asses in the seats)

Remember Addy? The middle aged lady that works for William Easton? Yeah she was prima ballerina back in her day but an injury to her out of the game. Now she's the dance teacher/instructor who adores Amanda and Daniel.

Speaking of William Easton he's the number one patron he's at every show and everyone calls him Uncle MoneyBags ™ because he dressed like Mr. Monopoly for Halloween ones fifteen years ago (Adam started it)

Brent Abbott you ask? He's just starting out in the big leagues. Adam has taken him under his wing

Corbett Denlon? Star of her class. Been dancing sine she was 3. She's at every performance she can get her parents to go to. The practice room she uses to rehearse is named after her late brother (who was also a student everyone adored)

And who is this up in the rafters changing the backdrops for scenes? Why it's Bobby Dagen the stage hand who is down bad for children's dance instructor and another principal dancer that gets lent out to other productions Joyce Young (in this universe Amanda and Joyce are cousins just go with it)

Where's our favorite Doctor Lawrence Gordon? (I know our actual favorite doctor is Lynn Denlon but for the sake of this post it's Larry (imagine cary elwes saying Larry from that one scene of men in tights)) well I'll tell you. He is the new front of house manager and he hates Hoffman and he went backstage to confront him but got distracted when he saw Adam dancing. Completely transfixed. He was smitten but has never talked to him in the 3 months he's Been there.

Zep is John's nephew. He's clumsy and spills his mop water on the daily. He's also the janitor/ maintenence man for the theater. He's been electrocuted many times. He's fine. His hair is permanently sticking up tho.

Remember Britt and Addison? Yeah they're the mean girls who constantly undermine everyone they dont like (mainly Amanda. They try to get into Adam's pants) (honestly they could hit me with a car and I'd say thank you)

Perez is Strahms BFF and costume designer

Cecil Adams? Of course he's here. He's the pervy stage hand nobody likes (think Joseph Buquet in Phantom of the Opera meets Ted Spankofski from Starkid's Hatchetfield series)

Art Blanc of course he's the theaters legal aid

Rigg is Amanda's dance partner. They're also like together but not

Kerry is there. She's Gordon's second in command.

Daniel Matthews was forced into dance classes by his mom when he got in trouble in school at 13. He's a natural. He still isn't the best but he takes extra lessons with Addy, Adam, Rigg, Amanda, and Joyce (everyone does one of one with him) and Brett helps him outside of the theater. (They're bffs)

Eric Matthews is head of security who is constantly watching Daniel. He's proud

Dan Erickson is here too. He's the accountant.

Jeff joined Eric's security after his son died so he could spend more time with Corbett

Lynn serves as the unofficial theater nurse. She's patched up many floor burns (trust me it fucking hurts when you fall on a stage/dance studio floor even with something to cover your skin think rug burn but from a wooden floor) and sprain ankles and a few broken toes, one time Daniel was a little over zealous and rammed himself into the mirror and broke his nose. She loves being the only unofficial nurse on the unofficial payroll (they're donations for new pediatrics wing of the hospital. John and Jill are grateful for her services but she won't accept payment so they donate to her new department she runs)

The theater is called "Gideon Theater" of course.

Other characters make up the orchestra but I'm too lazy to look them up rn. Up to your imagination but like Charles from 5 plays bass clarinet. The two from the pound of flesh trap are here too. I don't remember their names but the girl plays clarinet and the guy is percussion (I can see him playing xylophone the hammer bell things and crashing th cymbals) And the last surviving dude from the fatal 5 plays trumpet. I know their names my brain is just fried right now

Oh and Bobby's BFF I think he's named after spinach or some other leafy vegetable I can't remember but he's an investor in the theater too.

(Just because I don't have motivation to write this I'd love for people to write their own interpretation of this and tag me) (bonus points if we cross universes and Specs and Tucker show up) (I don't expect anyone to actually do this)

Have you ever had a dream?

Most people do.

As a young child (and a teenager) I had so many dreams.

Dreams of what I would be when I grew up…

Dreams of how many places I would travel…

Dreams of what I would look like…

It’s funny how dreams seem to change a bit once you are an adult. You don’t stop having dreams but there comes a point at which you must pick only one or two to pursue and put the others on the back burner. You also have to be real with yourself concerning some of those dreams. At one point (actually most of my life) I wanted to become a prima ballerina and make a career of it. I have even looked in to auditioning for So You Think You Can Dance a few times. Only recently have I realized that my body could probably not tolerate being put through that much training and pressure on a daily basis.

I also had a dream to become a doctor or have some sort of Ph.D. behind my name. Can you just imagine for a moment-Dr. Amanda Howard. WOW! Pretty cool right. Then I realized that going through 7  or more years of schooling would take up all of my 20’s. I also found that this idea came about because a lot of people thought I was not pursuing something important or doing enough after I graduated. Even though they didn’t realize it, they were putting a lot of pressure on me to become “something.”

There are those dreams that stick though. Like the dream I am pursuing right now. My dream of becoming a Personal Fitness Trainer. This dream didn’t come about until about 2 years ago when I realized that I loved teaching adults exercise. It’s kinda neat how those things hit you one day and you end up pursuing them. The feeling of finally finding something that you absolutely love to do is pretty great.

Dreams are wonderful. It keeps life interesting to dream about life. I feel like dreams are just an outlet for our imaginations. Through the past few years as I have struggled with career choices, whether or not to go to college, or temporarily giving up the dream of owning my own dance studio, my dreams and ideas are what kept me going.

I also decided to just have fun with whatever God puts in my path. The conclusion that I have come to is that everything I have tried (the dance studio, looking into publishing my own magazine, baking, etc.) has set me up for what God has ultimately called me to. Being a Personal Fitness Trainer is my ministry. I can’t wait to be able to help people achieve their goals, to encourage them and inspire them inside and outside of fitness, to build relationships that are strong, and to help people see the beauty of life all around them.

Continue to dream and try new things. Remember that God has a plan for your life that is bigger and better than you could have ever imagined.

Until next time friends,

Amanda
