After A Billion Years
Let me say before I start this, I have been reading people’s live journal entries. I understand the difference between my occasional paragraph and your daily essays. Some of you may be sitting there saying, “I know why you realize that. Cause I tell you every fucking day to update your God damned journal!” Well, I have one thing to say to you. “Shuuut uuuuuuuup.” I am afraid that I, unlike many of you, cannot pour out my inner feelings. I cannot write upwards of 2 paragraphs almost every day. I cannot make an exciting looking journal. Hell, I can’t even choose a cool avatar. Most of the time I forget things in my posts. They are about little, stupid, insignificant things. That’s because I live a wholly (no idea if I spelled that right) insignificant life. Very few of the things I do are exciting enough that you’d want to read about them. And anything that is exciting, I’m not allowed to say. I wonder how many people are curious now…
In any case, I have figured out a way for me to make my journal more readable to you people who insist on big longs posts. Actually, I’ve thought of several ways. One of them was to expand on one little thought (as I did in the first paragraph) until it fills 4 pages. I decided not to do that, because that would be stupid as hell. The second thought I had was, “Lie.” I decided to nix that also, because I could only think of so many girls that would I could lie about making out with/engaging in hot monkey love. The third was what I decided was my best idea. Rather than write a tiny bit every once in a while, I would think about it and plan it and put for a long period of time! That way, I can work my way towards more frequent posts with QUALITY.
So let’s start a little while back. And let’s see if my twisted brain can remember the order of events. I think I’ve got to start with Cinderella. Cinderella was FANTABULOUS! The entire thing was so much better than I thought it would be! I’ve got to talk about a couple of little things, then I’ll move on. Cause it was a while ago. First thing I’ve got to say is how amusing I found it when Greg’s little brother went on stage without pants. That is, his character wasn’t supposed to have them. It must run in the family. Second thing I need to address is how well Cinderella acted when she got clunked on the head with a piece of her roof. I was VERY impressed by that. She kept her cool, stayed in character, and didn’t seem at all stupid. And the third thing I feel I MUST comment on was Sarah. Sarah as the Fairy Godmother was INCREDIBLE! I had seen her in theatre production and I was like, “She’s decent enough at acting, I suppose.” Very normal, if you catch my drift. But in this, it was more of a ‘HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! SHE CAN DO THAT?!?!??!” I was very impressed. And she was very shiny. But I didn’t lust over her, not like some people I know >_>.
Next big event was Alicia’s party. It was… interesting. I actually got there on time (if you’ve ever had me over to a party, you’ll know why that’s amazing) and managed to live through most of the pre-action stuffs. She had a brilliant idea of having a sub for us to eat. Not a hero. Quick explanation, a hero is a person who saves people’s lives and helps people. A sub is a sandwich or a submarine or a subway. That’s all. So yeah, not a hero, a sub. But then we went swimming for a little while. I got tossed in. Damn you Ben! Damn you! That sort of sucked. Actually, because of that, I left my over-shirt at her house. Bah! In any case, we swam for a little while and then we went to the trampoline. That was fun. Most of it was at least. I don’t feel at liberty to say what wasn’t fun about it. But yeah. We then ate cake and stuffs and it was awesome.
The next item of great concern was Godspell. It was incredible. It was orgasmic. It was impossibly good. I was amazed. Let me just say that everyone in the cast was incredible. I was so impressed by everyone I can’t even manage to explain it. Matt is my hero. He is so awesome, it’s… Wow, can’t word it. Brett is INCREDIBLY talented. I wish I could act as well as him. Travis was so… Powerful with his delivery of things, his portrayal. Janine (pardon my spelling!) was as awesome as she ALWAYS is. Her voice just came through everything else beautifully. Sheila had incredible energy and was adorable in her presentation. Beth had another TOTALLY powerful voice. I was in awe. Mike had an awesomely funny character. Every time he made a joke, I was practically crying with laughter. And Lauren’s voice was beautiful and sultry. Her portrayal of the character left me staring and laughing. And of course, the costumes were INCREDIBLE! Especially Lauren’s actually. I would compare the shininess to that of the Fairy Godmother’s. Only the outfit was much more… creatively put together.
I also loved the way the entire play went and moved and worked. It was awesome to have a musical of 9 people, for one thing. Another thing I loved was the audience interaction. Right off the bat practically, Matt walked down the aisle so we could all be amazed by his awesome singing. The action occurred around us fairly often. Being able to go up on the stage at intermission and talk to the actors and have a sip of ‘wine’ was very neat also. And, of course, “Turn Back, O Man” with Lauren flirting with a bunch of guys. I figured out her pattern, I think. First night, I thought that she was going after old guys. But I then figured it out the second night (tonight). I observed more closely and thought back to the night before and discovered it! She was going only after guys who were there with a girl who was apparently their significant other. She shimmied at me and I was like, “Awesome! I was a part of the play!” It meant a lot to me actually. Here’s some emotional blabber, but half the play I was sitting there missing walking the boards. It was just something of a stupidly like... I dunno. I really felt it as they were all walking off the stage. It's more meaningful, because most of them will probably never walk on the Newtown Stage again. Or at very least, most won't perform on it again. It's sort of weird, because most of this summer I haven't been thinking about school or theatre much. And now I really really miss it. I want to go back to the stage again. I want to have people laugh. Hearing the laughs is an incredible feeling. All eyes are on you and YOU made them laugh. It's just incredible, it really is. It's going to be good to be back at it.
Well, I think I’ve written quite enough now. So next time you think about having me write a lot, realize how bad it is. Thank you! And Good Night!
