Hold onto your hats, fellow McKinley Students, because one Miss Rachel Barbra Berry ★ has RETURNED to the online blog-o-sphere! While I am sure that this return back to the online world was has been anticipated, I do request that all questions regarding my absence, fan-mail and queries are all sent with care; after all, my schedule is abnormally busy since returning to Ohio, so all individual messages will be dealt with as soon as I can. Please don’t feel the need to suppress your excitement or enthusiasm at my return; after all, I am more than aware that an online world without Rachel Berry ★ is a very dull place to be indeed!
With Regionals approaching, I’d like to quickly make it abundantly clear that McKinley High’s Glee Club, The New Directions, are still actively accepting auditions for those who excel in the arts - swaying, humming and harmonizing are skills in particular demand. If you do find yourself fantasizing about what it may be like to be cast as a back-up performer to one of my flawlessly performed solos (which is an incredibly important role, as well as a huge honor which you could add to your college applications as ‘assisting a future star!’), then I do encourage you to reach out to Mr. Schuester. With the school buzzing with passion and excitement regarding the school Musical, I would love to take advantage of this newfound theatrical energy and use it to strengthen our chances at Regionals.
As much as I would love to ignore the overwhelming amount of negative jealously I seem to have noticed being directed towards me in the aftermath of the cast list becoming public, I would like to quickly say a few words regarding the nature of Coach Sylvester’s correct decision to cast me as Regina George. If you do have any concerns or problems regarding the casting decision, I welcome healthy criticism and would love to engage in a productive, adult conversation in private in order to change your mind. However, all unjust criticism, as the examples below outline, that either:
refuse to look past my social status or position within this school
offer any kind of justifiable reason regarding an apparent opposition
or simply are fueled by jealously
will be promptly ignored and labelled as ridiculous hate-mail, because frankly, any time spent dwelling on those who thrive on negativity is time taken away from prepping for Regionals. Frankly, I’m a little disappointed at the lack of professionalism; for those seriously considering a career on Broadway, posting such heinous accusations about a fellow star would be simply unheard of.
As mentioned previously, all questions, fan-mail or queries can be sent HERE, and I’ll send an appropriate response as soon as very-berry possible! I wish everyone the most PPP (positive, productive and pro-active, for those unaware of the teenage slang!) week!
