I also just applied for a scholarship through PUMA to attend Second City for a year!!! AHHHH I hope I get it!!!

Quick thoughts! Cheerleading shoes I bought for "Ninja Cheerleaders" now for "Glee"!

People always laugh when actors confess how little they made on a movie or show.

It's true... we're all struggling. We just enjoy those jobs WAY more than the day jobs. ;)

The super fun "Ninja Cheerleaders" was a SAG Low Budget Film, which means many things (I won't get into it, but feel free to ask). We had a problem at the end with our credits (they were part of the deal), but they said they ran out of money, so we understand.

So... I had to buy brand new spankin' white cheer shoes for the movie, which I was happy to do. Reminds me of the time in high school varsity cheer at competition, when I forgot my "official" shoes (only had my very nice "practice" shoes), and my dad drove about an hour or maybe more to bring them to me, only to learn that my coach wouldn't allow me to perform anyway (even hours before our slot).

My very first Sue Sylvester. I am MORE than prepared for this role! Heh.

Anyway... I am using the "Ninja Cheerleaders" shoes for my "Glee" Audition! Woohoo!

That is all. I've already shared too much!

Yay for being GREEN and using "Ninja Cheerleaders" shoes for "Glee"!! ;)

"Glee" Auditions mean lots of training and preparation and publicity! And I love it! :)

So much to do!!

I'm finishing up my "Glee" Audition Website, the recording of "Glee Wannabe," and now need to quickly finish my audition tape for the Cincinnati Preliminary "Glee" Auditions AND my audition tape for the scholarship to Second City!

I also had a great meeting with Michael Franklin of Cafe Vibe TV, and it looks like we're going to film my official "Glee" Audition in a live concert setting at Cafe Vibe! Details coming soon, but for now, let me know what night works best for you! I want to get as many awesome audience members as possible. It'll be free admission, just treat yourselves to dinner while you're there! :)

Dance, running, and gymnastics training are going very well!! I'm loving every second of it! I can't wait to work with my dance friends on my "Glee" choreography!! In the meantime, I'm doing some of my own for my character vlogs!

Okay, a little more work and then it's off to Madeleine Bistro-- gotta pay those bills!



Something I made for my "Glee" Audition Website! :)

Glee Auditions, Running Redhaired Cheerios, and My Wonderful Family and Friends!

I'm stretching with Cory, my bandmate, before we head out for a night run.
I feel like such a good influence!! :) Yay!

It has been so awesome lately to have really clear goals, wonderfully supportive friends (read: YOU!), and all the other luck I've had along the way! Life is truly amazing!



There are no words to adequately express my feelings here... I simply had a SPECTACULAR visit with my family and friends in Michigan!! THANKS, MOM!! :)

Unfortunately, time slipped away too quickly to get to work with the awesome Chris Bley, but I sure hope we can find a way to work together in the future. I just didn't time everything well... and I'm tough to tear away from my mom and sisters haha. No matter how long I give myself to see the family, it's never long enough!!

So... I'm sorry to Ashley and Chris, but also thank you so much for being there for me. I just dropped the ball on this one, but something cool and fun can be done... haha. I just kind of needed a break, and that is exactly what my wonderful family gave me.

I got to hang with my awesome sisters, Elly, Kitten, and Katie, and the best mom in the whole world, OWENKAPOENJOEN! That's right, I have weird nicknames for everyone. I'm a weird kid. ;D

My mom and I have this cute tradition: whenever I visit, we go to the "bad" mall and get one of these silly "Leonardo" pictures done, because it's hilarious and we both love to laugh. We have lots of these pictures, and it's funny to put them side-by-side to see how much we have both changed since I ran off to LA. ;)

I also got to see my grandma, aunts, cousins, and all that jazz!! It was lovely. I wish there were more time in the day to catch up with family and friends! I am so blessed to have every single one of you, and... gosh, I just wish there were more time! Haha.
While in Michigan, I was also lucky enough to dine at Panera with Elly and Amanda (who is SO freaking cool and has tons of cool marine biology and zoology stories!), and at Thai Thai with Katie and Lucia (who is changing lives each day as a nutritionist for WIC, and is even more charming than ever!) It was SO awesome to catch up!!! My friends are the raddest!!


And I even got to have a nice dinner with my dad and his lovely new wife. Between those two, Jim and Sara, and Liz and Calvin (marriage: 8/9/10-- save the date!), there's a lot of love in Michigan!! Then there are us single Pascoes... watch out! Haha.

Off to run... will finish when I return... ;)

*a couple hours later*

Fabulous running and dancing! I have a cute idea for my (possible, fingers crossed!) "Glee" character's first vlog! Cory and I had a really great acting learning session today (he teaches me stuff, 'cause he is an amazing actor and I am in awe of his talent, and I yearn to learn haha), and a lot of great ideas grew.

Gee, I hope you all like them!

This is so much fun!

Oh, and I made "Mary Sue" her very own Twitter!!!

http://www.twitter.com/MarySueGLEE

She should only follow other fictional people, right? What do y'all think? I'd love to have the input of the whole team... that means YOU! If you don't mind... 'cause I'd love to have you on my team. :)

Thank you all for being so amazing!!! Go have a dance party!!
