Woo! Well, bloggerites, a lot has transpired in the last few days, so let me break it down to ya'll.... as well as promise to you that I'll never ever use the words "break it down to ya'll" consecutively in a sentence again.
So last week, around Wednsday, I went to Metro to innocently sit in on one of their final rehearsals for the musical they were doing this spring. Perhaps you've heard of it. A little play called "Little Shop of Horrors". Anyway, I was standin' there, minding my own business, when the director, Lisa Keaton comes up and says "Are you here to help out with backstage?!" And I cleverly countered with a witty "Uh... well, I can if you need me to." And she shot back with a "Perfect, go help." So I did.
And I am SOOOO glad I did.
Being a part of the musical, even just a lowly stagehand, even the last few days, filled with their hectic-ness (it's a word now, I decree it) and anger, was soooo much fun! It was just a blast to be back with all my old friends in one place (Anna, Zach, Paul, Bri, Noah, Dan) and get to know a few other people better (Especially a certain someone, who I'm fairly sure knows who she is... and if she doesn't I'm gonna go ahead and say her name now, Lauren!). And just the fact that I was finally doing something other than sitting around and moping.... yeah, that was nice.
Which brings me to my next point.
I believe I've figured out my problem, and have simultaneously solved it. I've been sitting around doing nothing and its given me waaaaaaaaay too much time to just dwell on crap, that I shouldn't be dwelling on any more! And doing something like, a musical (something that was actually constructive AND fun, if you believe it) was just what I needed. I'm also convinced that friends are the ultimate solution to everything, and I personally can't wait until the summer when I'll have like... a thousand hours to hang out with all my friends, and not have this pesky school get in the way. (Which, thank God, is ALSO starting to wind down now that all my big projects are FINALLY getting wrapped up.)
And also, the musical itself, "Little Shop of Horrors" was awesome. Anyone actually involved in the cast will tell you it was terrible, cause that's what Metro kids do, they join the plays, then complain about how terrible they were when they're done, I know cause I did it too, but the play was awesome. Lo, a mighty run-on sentence. Anyway, I really like the story itself, and I thought everybody involved (especially Dan Sartoris as Orin Scrivello, the deranged dentist) did a fantastic job. But I had fun. The first night was flawless. The after party at Denny's was a good-time. The second night had its problems, but was still great. Hanging out with Paul, Zach and Elena at Steak N' Shake afterwards was awesome. The cast party was pretty bitchin' as well on Sunday.
Needless to say, I feel so much better the past few days, its unreal. And I really think its for real this time. Seriously. No, I'm not kidding! Listen to me fool, I'm correct! Question me again, and I will come down upon you like the hammer of God, I am RIGHT!
Life does have a funny way of working out. It really really does. I can see that now. Everyone kept telling me "Things will get better, hang in there." and I kept telling them all "Go to hell!" but they were in reality very right. I think that nasty black cloud has finally lifted.
And good times were had by all!
P.S. Ya wanna know what the most annoying thing in the universe is? I'll tell you! When you're standing at one of those supposedly "hi-tech", auto-flushing, urinals, doing your thing, and they automatically flush for no reason before you're done, and splash all over you. That's obnoxious. Oh, what's that, don't wanna hear about my bathroom adventures? I'm sorry, whose blog is this? Oh, that's right its MINE! X'ed! You lose!
