This show has affected me more than I ever expected it to. In many good, and many bad ways. In one way, I feel like I’ve met so many incredible people through this. I feel like I recognize more names and faces, and have gotten a chance to work with some real babes and babettes. Also, I’ve found who I really don’t like. And who I miss so much that it shows me how much I need them. For more details, check out this post. Hopefully it won’t be too rambly and stuff.

First of all, the people I’ve met/gotten closer to. Aaron Crosby is my best male friend on the entire planet. Seriously, I adore that boy. I rarely feel completely comfortable sitting and talking to most guys, just because I feel much more comfortable with girls normally, but I could sit next to Aaron and chat for hours. I really appreciate him, and I hope he always knows that.

Then there’s Colleen O’Rourke. That girl makes my heart sing. I wish I had classes with her. Seriously, backstage I always search her out to sit with her, and I look forward to hanging out with her soon. She’s one of those people that makes me laugh when I need it, works off my energy when we should, and most of all just knows when to sit and be chill when everyone else is being obnoxious. Le sigh, if only her madre would have let her spend the night on a technically not even school night. It’s all good, though.

Lastly, Benay Shortstein has surprisingly become one of my favorite people. In a very very good way! I don’t know what it is about her, I just love talking to her. She makes me feel really happy and excited, even when I’m down in the dumps. Plus, for some reason, I just feel like I can tell her anything. I guess it’s because when I’m around her she doesn’t spend her time talking about others. I love that. She’s a doll in my eyes, and someone else I look forward to growing closer to within my department.

Some other people that I’ve grown to love? Marcelle. Jamison. Emily. Jaime. Brent. Truthfully, I’ve enjoyed talking to two people that I thought I had questionable relationships with lately backstage, and those are Ashley Potter and Sara Conklin. One on one talking is just better with some people than school contact is, I guess.

Even though I sure do love these guys, I sure do miss my girls backstage. Damnit, why paint crew? I constantly feel like I should go grab Clarice or Lindsay to pull them to the side to chat with them. I hate not having them there. Even though it’s all been so fun, it’s been nerve wracking because they aren’t there. It’s unhealthy how much I need them. When I saw them in the halls today I literally just wanted to clutch to them and beg them to come backstage with me. I have a feeling when my Painter picks me up tomorrow I’m going to break out into tears because I miss her so much, and I haven’t even been away from her that much at all. Plus, every time I get home I reach for my phone to call Clarice, and then remember that it’s around 11:00 pm. UNGH. Dfg;jdfhgldjkfhlghdklfjh. Girls, I love you. I miss you. You’re everything to me.

ANYWAYS! Enough of the sappy stuff. Things I’ve done lately: run an incredible show and wish desperately that I was onstage instead of being backstage. Hung out in between school and show with some kickin’ people. I‘ve taunted birds at the landing and almost crashed brent’s car three times by either grabbing the steering wheel wrong or putting my foot on the gas. Got my first ride to school by someone that isn’t my Mom. Worried a little about my decision not to do drugs and stuff, since a lot more people do them than I thought. I’m sticking to that decision though. I swear it. Highlight of my week? Walking across the stage to open the sound locker room to realize I’m the only one onstage. I stopped, looked in the audience, got all teary eyed, then spun around a few times. I must have stood there for ten minutes straight, just trying to clear my head. I love this school. I love this play. I love this department. I love these people. I love some of you so much. I hope that never changes.

EDIT: Sorry this is so long. I'm a rambler. =(
