Its unfortunate I couldn't write this yesterday, but my mother was being anal about my dirty keyboard and actually made me take it apart and wash it in the bath tub, so I was quite unable to type... I don't know how I'm going to do this. Go home every day at 2:20 and PRETEND I'm not miserable. As much as I complained about staying at school til late, not having time for homework when I got back, never seeing my house in the daylight....I savored every moment of it. My house is pretty boring anyway, and after being there for the first couple hours on sunday morning, I absolutely went insane. It's amazing how a simple stage can become more like home than one's own house can. I actually seriously considered setting up a tent there and refusing to leave. There was alot more drama this year than last...and I know that I usually say that drama is horrible, but I've actually started to kind of appreciate it. I would much rather have someone say to my face that they have a problem with me, fight it out, and resolve it, than have them keep bad feelings about me to themself and have me keep going along thinking that our relationship is perfect. So although I had a few "tiffs" with a certain someone, I am just so glad that everything was out in the open and that now our friendship is stronger than it ever was. I hope that no matter where I go in life, I can always surround myself with show people. There's just no one like them. They're loud, fun, opinionated, hilarious, brutally honest, affectionate without restriction, confidant, and unafraid to just be themselves. Even though I now have time to hang out with my other friends again, I find myself not really taking the chance, because they simply can't compare with people who adore the stage. This past saturday was indescribably amazing. After two exhausting yet fantastic performances one after another, I thought I would be way too tired for the cast party...But there's something about these people that never lets you run out of energy. At 2:30 in the morning I still couldn't even begin to imagine going to sleep...and when we went out to play and sing and dance in the snow, I couldn't even feel the cold because the people surrounding me warmed me with their laughter alone. I wish it all never had to end...but now I can just get excited for the next play, whatever it may be, and wherever...Oh God, when did I even become a drama geek? It happened so fast I hardly even noticed...but I wouldn't have it any other way :) Here's to one of the most amazing experiences of my life so far...No regrets!
