that sweet little plant, Audrey II.
I emerge, into the land of the living. Or somewhat-living. Or not-quite-dead-yet.
This is roughly what my life as been consumed by (dohoho get it, carnivorous plant) for the past several weeks!
I tech'd Little Shop of Horrors and it was wonderful. Our plant was a giant vagina with teeth, genital warts and several ballsacs hanging off of it and it waaas the best. The cast and crew were all the most precious dumplings minus an unbearably bitchy assistant stage manager and I am so glad to have gotten a lot closer with the people in my major because of this show. ♥
The department did this whole little... precious videolog thing that makes me miss everybody.
-CHECK OUT THAT MOPPING ACTION AT :32 (this is the only time I am in this.)
-Oh wait I also walk behind Kurt (who is like, the cuddliest bear and truest bro) at 1:18.
-2:15 are our Audrey and Seymour who are just. THEEEE CUTEST LITTLE EGGS. Ahhhh so cute.
-Most of it is a lot of talking and pretty boring but there is a cute montage at 4:22.
-Also srs qt who looks exactly like Natalie Portman at 4:32.
-And then the only actual stage footage at 4:55!
-And then everyone yelling Bleed Green at 6:15.
No one's actually going to watch that but THAT'S OK.
The cast party was on Saturday night and I think it was the first party of my entire college career that I legit knew... most people in attendance. It was most good. I played Reverse Wingman, photobombed pictures and was pleased to find out that a cute girl Ame and I had been scoping a) sometimes likes ladies also and b) thinks Ame and I are the cutest couple ever, to the point that she pointed us out to her mom through the window of the Black Sheep one night. Mmmmost good. Basically this semester has just made me increasingly glad to be a theater major.
Everything else... is still pretty bumpy. Still absurdly anxious, still overwhelmed by everything. Pulled an all-nighter last night, managed to crank out a 5 page paper and a 9 page play, and I don't even know how I survived today. Sakura Matsuri this weekend, assuming we can get down there alright. Next week's finals and somehow finishing a massive amount of work. Thennn semester's over, home for a bit, anddd excessive cosplay work for Fanime!
Which brings me to my next point of discussion.
AX announced AKB48 as guests and Ame and I do not know what the hell to do.
Since seeing them in September and falling ridiculously in love, we (Ame in particular) have been really, really into these girls and have felt really strongly about seeing them again if and when they came back to the US. ...Welp.
Basically as it stands right now, the only chance we have to make this work is if I skip Bootycon and Ame skips Otakon. Fanime's still definitely on because plane tickets are already purchased, I still want to go to Otakon because it's my forever girl... but Ame would rather do AX than Otakon. Doing Otakon without her would blow, but she's never been and doesn't have the attachment that I do, so. And then... I still haven't forgiven myself for missing Bootycon last year and I've been so determined to go this year, but AX is two weeks after Bootycon and unless I can bum around LA on couches for two straight weeks after BC, there's just no way to do both.
I've also applied for an internship and I'm not positive how flexible the dates are (assuming I even get it), Ame's already asked for her dates off work this summer and it'd be hard to change them...
This is just such a bummer because it's so massively inconvenient and I don't know how it would be possible without reconstructing all other summer plans. Making a decision on which to skip out on is also proving difficult because like... I think of some of the best weekends of the past few years, if not my whole life, and like... at the very top are weekends like Bootycon '07 and '08 and the weekend we spent at Sakuracon last year that we pretty much dedicated entirely to seeing HANGRY&ANGRY/Yossi. Howwww do I even pick between friends I get to see maybe once a year and Jpop idols that come to the US maybe a couple times in a lifetime?
...Serious first world problems here, I am so sorry for even complaining. I am just... really bad at picking between things I really desperately want to do. ._.
I am pretty sure no one reads this anymore, but advice/suggestions/convincing one way or the other would be appreciated. I just want someone to tell me which I should do.
Okay. It is definitely bed time now.
