Maybe I should actually write in here once in a while...
Life has been pretty insane lately. (Understatement of the year.) I'm sunburned, bruised & achey all over, and deliriously tired. I have a sore throat and a sprained ankle. I essentially don't stop moving from 7 AM till midnight.
But I'm making money, teaching adorable children how to enjoy swimming, and--most thrillingly of all--performing in my favorite musical of all time. (Les Mis, for those of you who I haven't already raved to.) I don't think I've ever been more beaten up by life, but it's all so incredibly worth it. I'm actually doing productive, meaningful things with my time. I take pride in my exhaustion and pain because it shows how hard I'm working. Some of my castmates were appalled that I was performing on a sprained ankle--"Why don't you just stay off of it, if you're in so much pain?"--but nothing's going to keep me off stage. We opened the show last night and it went amazingly. No matter what else is going on in my life, once I'm performing, everything is beautiful.
tonight I'll get up on that stage
and all my problems seem to go away
tonight I'll get up in those lights
and I will sing my best for you tonight
no I can't wait till tonight
