Watching everything fall apart
Oy.
So things are falling apart again. My dad's overstressed from work. My mom's overstressed from work. I'm fine except that it hit me again how badly I want to see Aaron Tues. No one understands that seeing him perform this summer was what was getting me through the summer. It's a hellish summer with work and classes and very little free time to get to the city. That's bad enough. Take away the sole thing that's getting me through summer is really not ok. I understand my aunt has jury duty, that's not her fault. My mom was considering going with me but she can't because the state showed up at work and probably won't be gone on Wed so she can't call in Wed. and leave early Tues. Again, not her fault. My dad's hating his job beyond belief and on-call this week- Not his fault. I said I'd go myself (I'd be really stressed going myself but I'd do it to see Aaron perform) but my parents won't let me drive somehwre I've never been myself. Awesome. I don't fully disagree with them, but why wait until Today to say I can't go myself if no one else can go. My mom gets that I'm upset but has no idea why. She said "I know you want to see it but it's a show with one performer that you want to see. You've seen him before. Remember that night we left Curtains to see him?" I guess she misses the point that we didn't wait long at the Curtains stage door specifically so they could meet him and vice-versa. I though they got it, Aaron's not just some actor and this isn't just some show. He's honest to God my hero. Pathetic? Maybe. But he gets it and understands that the fact that he's so humble and accessable means a lot to me. He knows I'm not Crazy Fangirl 23. I don't give a damn if he looks pretty or not. I care that he always inspires me to strive to do better when he performs. He gets it, I thought my parents sort of got it. Wrong.
Now my mom's saying that If the state leaves Tues and she gets out at 3 we can maybe go. But we'd get tickets last minute and risk not getting them at all. I don't know what to think at this point...I'm guess I should just give up on seeing Aaron this summer. Awesome.
On a brighter note Kristin's article this week managed to make me laugh.
I particularly liked: "I literally had a few un-actory moments when I thought " I hope I played that flute part musically enough" which is not a John Doyle approved technique."

John Doyle....he's pretty much a genius. I don't care what people say, I'd LOVE to see his take on the entire Sondheim canon instruments or not...his direction is always fresh and awesome.
Maybe this weekend will be ok...
