you know what feels awesome? getting AO3 kudos from someone whose writing you like
ablabsolute's 21st was in the weekend and I had a great time! Good pizza at Big Dogs on Blair :) And it was lovely to catch up with non-theater people.
Obligatory theater babble: We open in two and a half weeks!! And we are barely off-book ahahaha. But it is lovely to have the team back together ;o; and I have my costume! And I accidentally found two perfect props for my character, because it turned out A) Mom bought a Starbucks travel mug in the Philippines that actually says Manila on it, and B) I forgot I had a book named Connecting Flights: Filipinos Write From Elsewhere. (It's a book of essays, fiction, and poetry by and about Filipinos outside the Philippines; I bought it last year in the Philippines because it seemed relevant to my interests but I never got around to actually reading it until today's rehearsal. Some pieces are interesting...)
At one point last week my director looked at my outfit and said, "Can you just wear that in the show? You are Ila." Sometimes I think she's right.
To my surprise and elation, I have passed all my classes from last semester! B in Company (Summerfolk), B+ in scriptwriting, and the aforementioned but still surprising A in language teaching methodologies. So I have ordered myself a Sackboy Nathan Drake keyring and Uncharted: The Fourth Labyrinth as a reward, because everything fandom is Uncharted and nothing hurts unless you get me started on Among Thieves where everything hurts. I put "please draw an angel on the box" as special shipping instructions from Mighty Ape this time; heads will roll if I get Castiel or a Weeping Angel back.
To end on a downer note, Wednesday will be what should have been cattrius's 21st birthday. I was already thinking about it, but getting the birthday alert from LJ felt weird.
