Tonight was opening night, and not gonna lie, after how rehearsals had been going this week I was scared shitless that we were going to fuck it up. Like before today we'd never run the full show without stopping, one night during our "dress" the orchestra walked out on us, we've been in school until 11 PM all week and I haven't gone to bed before 2 at all (if not later). But opening night went actually REALLY well! We had to skip a small scene in Act 1 because Allie couldn't find her trench coat on time and would've been on stage in lingerie, but it wasn't noticeable. We're all really excited and looking forward to doing the show again tomorrow night and Sunday afternoon. If you are reading this and live nearby, come see it please!!
Ok so let me clarify that random little comment about the Matt breakup in my previous entry-Yes, it is true, we're done, but at least now I am at a point where I can say that I and it are ok. I'm not going to go into the reasoning or specifics of it, but it's important to add that it wasn't because of Matt being an asshole or something like that. His reason made sense and he actually handled the whole thing very maturely to the best of his ability. So please, no comments of "Oh all boys are jerks anyway" or things along those lines, because that really wasn't the case here. And yeah I was really upset last weekend, but the reality of it is that it's probably better because the distance is SO difficult. And I think we both need to just understand that we had our romantic time together, and now just remaining really close friends (more than close) is good enough. Because it really is even more than close, it's an unbreakable bond of no end that's always going to be there. And Matt said that he was glad we had this time, because it helped him to realize that I've really grown up since last we spoke/saw each other/dated and he didn't really fully grasp that until he was able to see a different side of me. So we're closer now (again) and that's cool. But I won't lie and say I like being single either, because I really was starting to get a bit bored with it and now am just kinda like "whatever" again. The being free and able to flirt thing is cool, but that's about the only perk. As friends of mine put it though, "there are plenty of fishies" in the sea. And I'm going to college in 6 1/2 months (!!!!). So hey. = )
Alright, I've continued my trend all week of being up past 2, and I still have two shows to get through this weekend so that's all for now folks. Until next time.
