Hello.
Things are going fine.
The school day goes by faster than earlier in the year. I really like the play. The cast ran through the entire thing once in the theater now, with the exception of one part because Ms. Townsend was absent. I get a kick out of watching the auditions. Seeing the actors still adjusting to everything, messing up. I like etching that in my mind to compare it to the final result when everyone's going to be really really perfect and super-duper. I enjoy -- and I'm not just saying this because he'll read it -- Phuc's performances. It's just really really entertaining. What surprised was that yesterday, Ms. Townsend offered me the role of one of the fairies and be on stage. That didn't surprise me too much, I've been to almost every rehearsal (almost, not all.. damn you, Gregory House) and I did decently during auditions, but it did shock me that I politely declined the part. I don't regret it. I'm stage manager (i'm part of the kick-butt CREW, man!), and I ain't gon' be sellin' out to be a fairie and scratch Phuc's head.
Y'know, if I squint really hard and shake my head around, I can make everyone look like Joeve. It's true. And magical.
Okay, so did anyone watch "So You Think You Can Dance" yesterday?! DID YOU SEE NICK AND MELODY'S SECOND ROUTINE?!?!?! It was just, oh my god, it was really really awesome, I just had to mention it. Those two have been my favorite since the start and YESSS they're both in the final six. (Hopefully in the finales! We'll see next Wednesday on FOX, 8/7c
)
I realize that I'm well-rounded in human interaction, which I'm pretty proud of (although i'm not completely sure if i should be). I can speak Otaku, I can speak sane (why yes, they ARE the opposite of each other). I'm entertaining. I'm boring. I'm outgoing. I'm shy. I can talk about cheese. I can talk about politics and the state of third-world countries. I ramble. I listen. I can hold a silly conversation and a serious one, sometimes at the same time. I can also have really really awkward silences or really really comfortable silences. I'm boring. I know I've mentioned that, but my GOD, I'm just so boring. Or annoying. It's a "Pick your poison," really. It almost makes me angry.
Looking back, I realize I've still never seen a sunset before. I need to get out more. Ooh! Someone, take me to the Metropolitan Museum of Art! I've been itching to go there! Okay, it's across the country, whatever, I wanna go.
"Laugh out loud." The cup noodle gods bless me.
Today's lesson: There's a reason that people exist with other people. Because together, we can be the voice that makes the difference.

Bye for now.
