I haven't had much to say. Mostly, it's all about the same person, and you don't need to keep hearing about that. He and I are not going to date. We never were dating. Yet he's comfortable enough around me to be affectionate... but see, here I go again wondering about things that cannot and should not happen. We work better as friends.
...
Ok fuck I have a story. Damn it.
We took over the con last night, basically, and after having spent a good hour and a half in the practice rooms, we decided to explore the rest of the place, and discovered that Gamble was free and open.
Well, I found it because he was in the restroom, and I walked in and began to sing. Quietly at first, because I get shy and weird, and it was my Schopfung aria, but by the end I was blasting my voice to new levels. The acoustics in there when it's empty are shocking and beautiful. So I finished the song, and he got up there and sang a song too. Then it got interesting and a tad weird.
I did Broken Vow, the Josh Groban song... acting it out to him (mind you, it's all about a woman who's been deeply hurt by the man who seems to have left her emotionally), and he went along with it, following up with this song that sounded like he'd written it. The lyrics, according to what I know about him, we're almost exactly a replica of his life. It spoke of his family and the things he had to do growing up, stuff like that. So, in a sense, he had assumed the role of despairing husband on his last strings. I wish I could remember the song title.
I followed with A New Life from Jekyll and Hyde, playing the role of a wife who'd finally had enough and was leaving. He follows up with "So In Love" from Kiss Me, Kate.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what we call a mindfuck.
Trying to move on, I closed it out with We Can Work It Out, having forgiven this "husband" and looking for a compromise.
Tonight's gonna be tons of fun.
