Maybe this will work...
Ok. I may ramble, as I've had a few drinks tonight. But I really want to write about all the incredible things that have recently happened to me.
So.. As of the beginning of June this year, I thought I would never be in a musical again. I wasn't even being that emo, I just kind of figured that I wasn't good enough to be cast in a musical. The day that Candace called me to ask me to be in Mattress has changed so much of my life and the way I look at it. By doing Mattress, not only have I become friends with some of the most fun people at Northwestern that I was always INCREDIBLY intimidated by, but I've also realized that I can hold my own with musical theatre kids. Tonight, we performed the first night of "broadway babies," a musical review in which I sing a solo. And though it's not a show-stopping number, I receive compliments on it. People tell me it sounds "good" and "great" and I couldn't be more thrilled.
Holy shit. I sang a SOLO in front of a sold out audience of 500 people. I open the damn show. Wow. I've come a long way.
Ok...the rambling is going to stop here, because I'm waking up semi-early to go downtown with Jamie for her last day here.
More to come.
Seriously...it sucks to meet someone so similar to me that I connect with so much and have her dragged away after only a few months. Ugh..can't get over it.
Boo.
