WICKED!
there's a kind of a sort of cost
there's a couple of things get lost
Saw Wicked last night FINALLY. I was a senior in High School playing Audrey in my school's production of Little Shop of Horrors when Wicked came out and it was one of those things....I don't know, it just ended up occupying every corner of my thoughts that year. I wanted to be on Broadway so much it hurt, and I'd just transferred from a very small school to a very large school for a chance to do a musical, so I was really struggling with being painfully shy and suddenly having the lead in Little Shop. ANYWAYS. I really love Wicked and I finally got to see it last night and it was glorious.
The guy who played Fiyero was kind-of disappointing vocally, but Glinda was so hysterical. I was laughing so hard it was embarrassing. And Elphaba's voice was just earth-shattering. She and Glinda had this great chemistry, and it was such a joy. I literally cried through the entire thing. It was a bit much. I kept trying to sit so that no part of me was touching my boyfriend because I was afraid he would actually feel me crying. Crying in a good way. But whoa. Reign it in.
Anyone seen it? Anyone else cry like a baby?
In other news, I ended up having to get up at 330AM to do that stupid history paper. And because I go to art school, we can't just write a research paper, because that would be too obvious. We had to "creatively" write a 20 year biography of a Chinese person from a certain time period with historical context...in five pages.
What?
No. That is a terrible assignment. Five pages isn't enough to do that properly anyways, and having to specifically write the first 20 years of someone's life, but still use references and source material, and do it "creatively" like a good "young creative" ARGH. That is crap. That's not a creative assignment! It's an incredibly restrictive assignment that's sure to produce really confused, crappy results. And I don't NEED a creative assignment, just assign me a &^#%&#*^%*& research paper! I get so sick of the very special way they teach us, to accommodate our creative sensibilities.
SOOOOOO...........I wrote a seven page narrative poem, and I didn't site my sources, because I didn't have time, and I'm not sure if we were even allowed to do that, but I LOVE IT. Thank you, ladies at then_theres_us for getting into my BRAIN. I've been reading your lovely narrative poetry all week, and I couldn't be bothered to write in paragraphs. I'm definitely getting a terrible grade on that assignment, but doing homework from 330AM to 830AM has never been so enjoyable, and anyways, they asked for "creative."
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I am so tired. And why is it 19 degrees out? Chicago is the worst.
