I suddenly feel as though nothing really matters. I mean, I've felt this way before, but it's never hit me as it hit me just this morning. I was reading the paragraph before the topics for our four page long essays due at the beginning of the school year. And in that paragraph, it says, "We are concerned with...where you are going with your life..." When I read that, I was just hit with this monstrous wave of despair. What if some people aren't going anywhere with their lives? And will they lead worse lives because of it? What if they just sit and watch TV? Nothing bad will happen...except maybe they won't necessarily have a love life or anything of the sort. But what if they don't want that? I guess I'm not really making sense with this. It seems right and logical in my head, but I guess I can't really express my thoughts clearly. It just seems that...the whole "do something with your life" thing is both of the utmost importance and of the least importance. Strange, how life works. That still doesn't make much sense, so I'll drop the subject.
This morning, I went to RCT for three hours (9-12) and helped unload and set up the Beauty and the Beast costumes. Some of them are gorgeous. Others are adorable. Others are grotesque. The wolves, for instance, don't look all rubbery and retarded. Their teeth kind of look real. It's odd. My costume is a doozy. I'm going to have to hold my arm (spout) up the entire time I'm onstage. And the arm motions with it are even more restrained than I have been rehearsing. I have one of the three costumes that require assembly before usage. Cream and sugar need it too. We all have huge foam sheets which have to be shoved into our dresses. Five each, I think. And Sugar has like six sugar cubes that attach to her costume. Le sigh. I love them. AND PRISCILLA!!! Holy cow, she has the BEST costume! The wardrobe, or Madame de la Grand Bouche. Although it's the most beautiful costume (in my opinion, until we get Belle's yellow dress in), it's also the heaviest. Priscilla better be liftin' some weights!! It's so heavy that there's a door in the back that she has to open to climb in...rather than people having to lift the thing onto her.
Speaking of costumes, I have to go for my 4:15 time slot...to put mine on and see if they need to alter things. Hmm...wish me luck? I don't know. Bye.
