Awesome Feelings
Tonight's drama rehearsal was seriously like the bestest ever. And the thing I find hysterical was that it all started when three pages into it I went, "So...how exactly is it going to snow out this window?" After that, we talked until 9:30ish. It was awesome. We laughed, and we reminisced (I know I completely butchered the spelling in of that word), and we just talked. Me, Caroline, Amy, Mrs. G., Jon, Ian, Paul, and Sean. I left with this amazing feeling inside, and nothing can bring me down right now. So, I've decided that while I'm in this mood, I'll tell you why I absolutely love everyone in the cast...
I love Amy because she is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She is smart, kind, and funny. I love that whatever kind of mood she is in around other people, she always manages to squeeze that little smile of hers out and try to make the situation a lot better than it is. She's amazing in so many aspects, especially her ability to work and play hard.
I love Sean because he's insane. He's wild and zany, and he has this fun-loving, crowd-pleasing personality. But also because he can turn it around and be completely serious and loving when it's necesary. I really love his hair, too. Few white guys can actually pull off an afro. I love that he's not afraid to be who he is, and makes that clear every day.
I love Dan because he's so laid-back. He seems to always do his own thing, and he looks like he really enjoys life. He's an intelligent person, even though he may deny it, which is actually kind of endearing. He goofs off a lot, but like Sean, he can get really serious. I also love the way he just brushes off really important things like they're no big deal, but he does it in a way that makes you sure that he gets it and he really does care. Few people can really pull that off.
I love Stacey because she's so complex. There are so many different levels to Stacey, and you never see just one when you're talking to her. There's fun Stacey, there's crazy Stacey, there's serious Stacey, there's caring Stacey, there's music Stacey, there's leader Stacey, and so many more. And the wonderful thing about her is that she can just transform from one to the next in the blink of an eye, and be whatever people need her to be at that moment. That's an very admirable ability, and I respect her for it, because I definitely can't do it.
I love Caroline because I just love her. I can't say it in any way other than that. Her personality is so addictive, and I am completely drawn to it. I love the way the intonation in her voice changes when she shifts from one topic to the next. And I love the fact that she is unconditionally accepting of the big stuff. She is genuinely interested in everything, which I guess makes her kind of a gossip, but that's always fun! I think that I could be completely in love with Caroline given the correct circumstances.
I love Ian because he's Ian. There's no way to describe him. Ian is just the word you use to describe him. He is caring and eccentric and may not have a clue sometimes, but that's part of his charm. When he puts his heart out on the line for friends (and the occasional crush), he does it with the perfect combination of caution and care, which is completely sensible and it makes you feel ultra-special whenever he does it for you.
I love Jon because he is my best friend. I know it should be the other way around, and it is, but the fact that he is my best friend is part of the reason why I love him. It's been 12 years, and he's still right by my side, and I'll always be by his. I guess the scariest part of going to college next year is not having him right down the street anymore. He won't be there when I need to talk or just hang out and have fun. It really, really scares me. New York and Burlington aren't exactly next door to each other. But I love Jon so much, and that's because he cares and loves and hugs and laughs unconditionally. And people just need someone like that in their lives. And I'm glad I have them.
So....I think I shall head to bed soon, seeing as it is now 10:41. But seriously, this has been the most amazing night. I want to graduate so badly, but if it means losing all of these amazing people, I take it back. Let's go back 4 years and start over.
