yep i'm back from westport, that wasn't all that long of a get-away.
so yesterday i get to ali's house about an hour late due to getting lost (hahaha jenna that was entertaining).
jenna, sam and me go to the school to get ali. we go out to dinner at the awesome mexican restaruant that i love so much. yummmmmmmm
we saw the high schools production of cabaret.....
okay well i am going to complain about what parts were bad since i am such an obsessive theatre go-er.
first of all the M.C was a good singer but killed the part. i always thought the emcee was supposed to be this freakishly skinny guy, kinda akward, wearing suspenders, no shirt... with sexxi painted glitter nipples. but no he was like dracula or a vampire or something this time.
the main girl was outstanding.
they killed the opening "Wilkomen" because they had to cut out the innappropiate stuff.
the ensemble looked like they were flappers from the 1920's not from the 40's.
the waiters singing "tomorrow belongs to me" takes away from the whole lullabye / serenation effect. it was more like the song they sang while cleaning up which was odd.
money was so much better with the dancers.
the dancers looked more like circus acrobats.
and the thing that pisses me off the most: THEY KILLED THE ENDING. those of you who have seen the read cabaret (movie, bway something like that) knows how powerful the ending is, when i saw it the first time that part like stuck with me and made me want to cry. but the ending was just the emcee looking like dracula closing the door. i wanted to scream out what was supposed to happen. leave it to high school to butcher a wonderful play.
the play made me really hate how ignored the somers drama department is. if the school actually gave us money, we have the amazing actors to put on an amazing show. but the school treats us like shit and won't even give us a full classroom to hang out in back stage. fuck somers.
after the play ali, jenna and me go back to ali's. watch some tv with ali's sister... then play physcologist... lmfao. funny shit.
then jenna falls asleep so me and ali talk for about 3 hours.... wow ali i dont know what i would do without you!!!!! idk it just felt so good to talk about all the crap that went down this summer finally with someone that witnessed it all.
but of course good things most come to an end... my mom picked us up this morning. thanx you guys from an awesome night.....
today marks 3 months of being back from camp. its been 3 months of hell. roughly 1/3 of the wait is over. but these 3 months have been such crap. everything is just falling apart, and like no one is gonna be at camp next summer. can't fucken take this shit. i want to go back, no matter how crappy this summer truely was, in all actuality its a million times better than being here. i would rather be alone at night crying in my dorm room at camp than here, i just don't get it.
the line that stuck out to me the most was "life is disappointing? errrr FORGET IT! here life is beeeaaautiful". how many of us can really say our life is beautiful? comment is u actually think your life is beautiful at all times. do any of us think that? and these people at the cabaret said there life was beautiful even though they were living every day in fear of being taken away by freaken nazi to their death. i might be a hyprocrite saying this, but what is wrong with all of us that we can't admit our life is beautiful. can someone please explain this to me....
