Tonight, I saw the play, The Good Doctor. a play that i was actually in during my high school days. only this time, the play was awesome. mind you, these people can act a lot better than high school kids. anyway, my part was this girl who's going out for an audition and is really dorky. well, if you thought i was good as this girl (for those who were there back in the day), then you'll drop a load at what i have to tell you. this girl that played the same part tonight was deaf. truly, honestly deaf. regardless, she was an amazing actress and did the part soooo well. i didn't realize my mouth had been hanging open the whole scene until i felt a pool of drool in my lap (just kidding about the drooling part). but seriously, this girl was wonderful. on a related note, for those of you who really know me, you know i've grown obssessed with the show West Wing. well, in this show, there's a character who is the polls surveyer for the president. the actress that plays her is deaf. she's so inspirational! she's one of my favorite characters. you don't even realize she's deaf and that she has a translator following her around. honestly, i feel that for both of these fine actresses, their strength and determination to pursue an acting career is so admirable and wonderful that i can't help but be impressed with them. anyway, the play rocked. it really has some funny plots. the last act was about a father who pays a prositute to bring his son into "adulthood."
alright, welp, i'm gonna head out. here's a love song for you ladies...and men...

I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
What if I'd been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?
And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away
I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
