Uhm..did I mention I was lazy?

So, I haven't posted for some months...that feels good. Haha! I'm sorry, unfortunately I can't say I was too busy because I've had lots of time to post but you know, once again, lazy. Yep. So A LOT of things have happened since my last post, obviously. Should I take it from the beginning?

My summer break included....Fiddler on the Roof, Fiddler on the Roof AND Fiddler on the roof.
So, like I mentioned in my last post, I got an ensemble role in the amazing musical Fiddler on the roof. I'm SO HAPPY I didn't say no to this part, I had a marvelous time! Even though I didn't have any lines or solos I learned so much, not to mention discipline and to act more professional on a working place even though you're a kid. Everybody in the ensemble was so so passionated on what they were doing on stage and backstage that it turned out to be an awesome show! We got nominated for a huge musical price and the critics loved us. It felt amazing to be a part of it.
I played Rebecca, one of the 4 childs to the hatmaker in the musical. It was an annoying little girl that wanted attention from her big sisters all the time, so it was easy as hell to improvise her feelings about everything, I'm used to be playing that part at home haha! I got to act with my old friends Vicky, Tove and Linn again! And I also got to meet so many new amazing people.
Here's Linn, Vicky, Tove and Me hanging out in the dressing room backstage!

After the summer break I started a new school...but that didn't work out in the beginning...
Right in the rehearsals of Fiddler I started..hmm..I don't know what to call it in English. In sweden we call it Gymnasium. That's the school you continue studying after High school. On the gymnasium you're lucky enough to choose a special subject and education, often the thing you want to work with when you grow up. Of course, I choose musical in a big Gymnasium school I Malmö. In the beggining it felt like HELL YES, I met some awesome friends there (that I truly miss everyday) and everything worked out fine. After a while it started feeling wrong, the education felt too...well, ok I'll admit...easy. I didn't have a fun time, only with my friends.
So, I took a deep breath and emailed one of the best schools in Sweden when it comes to the entertainment business. It's called Lunds Dans och Musikal (translated lunds dance and musical). The principal read and wanted to meet me because she thought I had good scores from the audition I went too last summer. ( Yes, I was there but I didn't want to go to the school back then). I got to meet my class and follow them around on their classes for a whole day and It felt so good. So yes, I started Lunds dans och Musikal and it feels awesome! The teachers are awesome and we have all the amazing subject on the day schedule that prepare you to be a musical artist. Well, there's a dance class too that only concentrate on the dancing but I wanted to have everything. I have of couse: Math, Swedish, English and History BUT the rest of the subjects are ballet, jazz, street, acting classes, choir, ensemble choir, individual singing lessons, master class singing lessons (with a teacher from Broadway, how cool is that?!) and lots of more awesome stuffs.

I think I have 156413 other things to tell you guys but this will be it for now. Take care!

My ridicolous long first post in my ridicolous unknown blog

Hi my invisible readers! I haven't introduced the blog to anyone so I'm basically just writing to myself right now. Silly huh? Anyways, why re-start a blog once again? And why on English and not Swedish? - You want a serious answer? Go dig for it, cause I don't know why. I love reading blogs but I've never really seen the joy of blogging myself. I guess I'm to lazy. I've always created these silly goals in my head that I will create like this unique and epic blog when I get famous, but face it, when's that gonna happen? And if it happens I will probably not give a damn about a silly blog on blogspot.com, haha. So I thought I would start one right now, So here you go. Jonna's blog: zany, happy and a total misfit.

The description couldn't be anymore correct, It's exactly what I am. I basically the none-bullied girl that really should be bullied because of my weirdness, but I'm not. I'm not pretty loved by everyone though, but that's a different story, that is called the teenages.
My friends describe me as zany, happy and funny but the real feeling inside is probably that I'm a total misfit. But that's not bad is it? Have you ever heard the song Misfit by Amy Studt? It's the most amazing song ever and I never thought that a silly song could really help you but this one is different. It's not just a song, it my guide to how to stay on the earth with my pride of just being myself. Oh, this text sound very boring? Is it fun to read? I guess not, I can talk about something more fun instead of continue writing the emo text.

So, like 90 % of my life contains my singing, dancing and acting. It's the thing I like to do, not always what I DO, that's impossible if you live in a small town in the dead south Sweden. The last open casting I was to for a big musical was for Annie 2005, crazy don't you think?
So most of the time on the days I'm just dreaming and talking about it. You know, standing in front of the mirror and pretending you've won an oscar, talking to your poor mom for hours about how angry you are over some random girl that took your role that you didn't even fit for. But I like it, I actually like that I'm not getting everything served up on a silver plate. Getting a lot of "no's" makes you grow as a person and actress. You can be more grateful over the small thing you get and you will totally freak out if something big and amazing finally reaches you, and not that cute girl in your school. Even if I haven't gotten anything big yet I can definitely say that I've come far, I'm just 15 you know. If you're interested in this too I should really recommend you reading my blog starting today. Because this is exactly what I will talk about, I will not talk about small things I've succeded(like doin the dishes) I will talk about these crazy dreams and my road to reaching them. It will probably not just take year, maybe for even five but I know that I'll definitely reach someday, I can feel it. So follow me now, we're starting with an ensemble role in Fiddler on the roof and then we'll continue with something this fall? Who knows what that can be? Nobody knows, that's why I love my hobby so much, the most rare thing and opportunity can show up any second, and I'll be more ready than you'll probably imagine in your wildest dreams.....
