There are some things I love about my family.
Like how when they come to see me in shows, they are so blunt about how bad they think certain people were, and they always tell me I could have played such-and-such a character so much better. ;) While not always fair to the people who have usually become my friends, it's amusing to me and fun to hear, hahaha. Because as much as I love my cast mates in any show, I tend to agree sometimes. :D Or at least that I would have brought something great to a character, "better" I dunno about. Anyway I really think everyone was so well cast in this show, so no offense to anyone, you all did fantastic! I still want my chance at a handful of the guy roles though.
My Grandma and Grandpa are the best though. When I was in Hello, Dolly! my Grandma was like, "that guy could NOT sing, you sing SOOO much better than him, you should have done it!"...and my Grandpa tonight..."I hope these people give you a chance to act more!" Hehehe, hurray for my fan club.
I look forward to talking to them and my parents more about the show tomorrow though, because I love their brutally honest opinions about who they couldn't understand, who they actually thought was good, etc. Brutal honesty with a Derrick bias. My favorite kind of honesty. :D
But no anyway I'm not gloating or anything by any means. I actually told my parents not to come to the show because INTO THE WOODS is so near and dear to my heart as a piece of art, it really is, and it just means so much to me, that I just wanted my family to see it done with more rehearsal time and with me in a better part. Nothing at all against the actors or Wingspread.
But anyway I've been feeling really down lately about myself so it was nice that they came and had genuinely nice things to say about my performance.
I actually wrote a really long entry yesterday about how much I'm doubting myself and my worth and my talent and just everything nowadays, and it was one of the first entries I ever wrote that I decided was perhaps too personal even for my "brutally honest" blog. So it's private right now. I'm thinking about making it public. But I dunno what the reason would be. To share it I mean. But I've always said whatever's on my mind in my blog, so I shouldn't stop now, no matter if it's embarassing or whatnot. Hmmm.
Um...the end.
