A little nothing that seems to be bugging me
So, I have said to various people about the next show in this season that I am not interested because I need a break. Lee had a break... I need one. Some of the people involved in the show I just finished costuming drove me a little batty... and it was MUCH harder to costume than I previously expected plus some of the costumes had to be provided by the actors from their own personal wardrobe, a pet peeve of mine. I feel like being in a play, part of the experience is to have a costume that someone else gets for you to enhance your character. Having to wear something from your own wardrobe is kind of like making your character more like you and to me it just doesn't sit well. It also made me feel like the slackass costumer. But anyways.... that's not what's really bothering me.
I have stated to Lee numerous times that I want a break. And that this show I am sitting out because I want a break. So, he went to auditions last night and told me all about it and it sounds like he's going to be in this show and it sounds like he'll have a good time. Excellent. I am glad. I felt pretty good about my decision to sit it out and not get involved. Then he said it was set in 1977. And the costumer in me starting doing the "pick me!" dance because I KNOW where all that clothing is in our archives. I could SO costume that show quickly and efficiently. I mentioned this. And Lee started mocking me about my "taking a break". He did bad wimper sighing and impersonated me saying I'm taking this show off. And it bugged the piss out of me. Heaven f***in' forbid I change my mind or show interest in some aspect of what he's doing. If he had said "You know, it would be nice to be involved in a show that you aren't involved in" that would be one thing.... but he just sat there picking on me. And I know he didn't mean anything by it but it just set me off inside and I clammed up and didn't say anything else about it.
So there.... that's my gripe this morning.
