misshollylyn's blog: "Hollis Mcwallis goes to camp"

So if you haven't noticed, I've essentially disappeared. For a bit I was doing two shows in WI (Footloose followed by All Shook Up), however things have gotten magnificently crazy for me. I've now joined the cast of The Wedding Singer for their first national tour. I haven't actually started shows yet, but I expect to do so in the next week or so. For now, I'm completely crazed with trying to catch up on EVERYTHING. I've got crazy amounts of dance to learn, an entire show of music, not to mention that I'm at this point expected to cover two of the female leads. And that could all change, but I won't get into that. I can't wait to start. Especially because then I'll be on the website! Yeah, I'm most excited about having my headshot and bio on a website. For now we've got dates in Texas and Tempe, and then will be in Atlantic City for all of July and August. If that's in your area, check out Ticketmaster!

Those lines are known as Holly's rules for appropriate bar behavior. They apply primarily to hockey players, who seem not to know that there is such a thing as appropriate behavior. They are as follows: 1. If you feel that you have to bend over so as not to hit the ceiling while standing still, you are not allowed to "get your grove on" or "shake your grove thing". You should also stop listening to what is said in the arena, as it's become incorporated into your vocabulary. Brian Boyle, this means you. 2. Every bar is not a kareoke bar. Do not try to make it one. Kevin... 3. Bathing is not optional post-game. 4. Going home with fat chicks isn't lowering your standards, it's just sad. When I prevent that from happening, it isn't cock blocking. It's being a good friend. 5. I can curse you out in as many languages as you can curse me out, Petr. And I'll totally tell your mom, too. Or at least, I will next time she's here. 6. Grunting and woohooing is not conversation. 7. There are no keg stands in bars. Please stop asking. 8. Buying my drinks does not equal my taking my top off. Especially when you've known me since I was born. In fact, in that situation, it equals creepy. 9. I won't even pretend this is for someone else... Teddy, you must wear your flippers. Seriously, you're totally adorable, but I'm pretty sure that when you open your mouth and you're missing 6 teeth it scares girls off. Not me, but 99.9% of girls. 10. Stop with the douchebaggery in foreign languages. Seriously, just because drunk girls think it's cute when you talk to each other in French/Russian, it isn't. Especially since I speak enough of both to get what you're saying. One of these days I'm going to start telling them. 11. The whole chestbutting each other isn't cute. Nor is it manly. It's just strange. In short, stop acting like idiots. And I'll keep hanging out with you. P.S. Gules, Mama L says hi.

My life is insanity. I'm a nomad, I don't know how to stay in one place too long. I went to 8 different schools in 9 years, and then left to be homeschooled so I could work professionally. I've lived in at least 6 different states. I've lived in about 25 different houses. All this before 22 years old. However, at the moment, I've stablized. Or come as close to stability as I get. I'm doing my second consecutive show at the same theater. I'm living somewhere I know how to get around. And after this, I'll be leaving immediately for WI, where I'll lose all that. However, I'll have like, 7 months to figure it out. Now, you may think 'Poor girl, that doesn't sound like any way to live'. You'd be wrong. It's what I want. It's all that I know. It's what I crave. I always have to be on the go. But for now, I'll try and remain content with waking up in the same house every day and buying my coffee at the same Dunkin's.
