fight choreography yesterday morning for hamlet. 4 HOURS. yikes. it was in the gym at church. actually the fight is going to be pretty cool. i was a little skeptical at first due to the fact that we have a new fight choreographer, but he's a good guy and he knows what he's doing. itll be hot. first of all, ross and i are totally fighting with swords. thats hot. then i get poisoned. thats...kinda hot. then grant and i kill people. thats double hot. the plays going to be good. we went to borders yesterday with 4 or 5 members of the cast, grant and i in full costume, and passed out fliers for the show. then matt told me "surprise. you're performing 'the plays the thing' monologue in the kids amphitheater in the back of the store in 10 minutes." so i did it. it was pretty good, ill give it that, but IN THE KIDS AMPHITHEATER!? there were cheap images of saturn on the carpet! "HAMLET IN SPACE" ...well it got peoples attention, anyway. that was good. and then i had to do it again, and grant and i noticed this funny looking girl that grant describes as "hot, but not hot at all" watching veryyy intently. i couldnt look at her while i was doing the monologue because i would start laughing. ANYWAY. after borders came some rehearsal and looking at the new costume designs. amazing. the bender family is truly amazingly artistic. i admire them. THEN we went to pv mall, again in full costume, and split into groups. grant and i, the only ones in costume, were in a group. we had a huge stack of fliers with us and we were passing them out to people when we noticed 2 security guards behind us. so we dove into the book store and to our surprise, the waste-of-tax rentacops walked up and just took our fliers and began walking away. at least they said thank you. but on with our story. i blurted "are you really allowed to do that?" he said, "you're not supposed to be handing things out on private property." and i said, "well give us back our fliers because those are our personal property, we'll take them back out to our car." the rentacops followed us ALL THE WAY to our car. it was ridiculous. mr. bandura should totally be a rentacop. then he could feel like he was doing something when in fact he was doing nothing at all. well, i guess he does that every day. i think we should give mr. bandura "play detention slips", where theyre fake but he pretends theyre real and he gives them out to students as he feels fit. oh man that guy amuses me so much.
so then, i went to horizon's "broadway under the stars", the title of which i dont really understand because it was in the school's theater, not under the stars. hmm. anyway. it was pretty good. jessica was in it. she was the one who asked me to go. i wasnt sure if i was going to go simply because i didnt know if i wanted to go through that, but i did, and im glad i did. it was funny...after the show, one of her friends walked up to us as we were making small talk and asked "how do you guys know each other?" there was a few moments of silence before jessica said "we kinda just met over the summer." ...just met over the summer? oh well, i guess thats all it was, then. i cant do this anymore. i cant sell my heart to merchants who will only use it to attract other customers. shes a great girl, but i really didnt think that she would ever reduce what we had over the summer to "we just kinda met."
gotta go. parents are home.
