So, in the last week a lot of things changed a bit. I can’t really quantify it, but the last 7 days were rather significant in comparison to the rest of my year; it wasn’t getting into the play or getting all my work done or anything like that. It was unquantifiable change. I suppose i should be requesting a recount…

Good Woman of Setzuan will be performed by the Drexel Players at the beginning of March, and the Brecht fable will be put on with song and dance despite it not quite being a musical. Good Woman Of Setzuan is a story about three gods who come to earth to find a single good person, and a overly kind prostitute who takes them in for the night and then attempts to live up to their standards. I get to sing a ballad in the rain, which might actually involve a duet with the lovely Laurel, who was cast as the lead. Life rocks.

In an effort to aid you in understanding the twisted depths of my psyche, lemme reveal two things about myself and then give you two pieces of advice:

  • I might bitch about theatre for hours at a time, but you had better believe i do a frantic happy dance when i get cast. The dance also involves screaming. And jumping up and down like some sort of idiot. The dance is exponentially longer when i get a part that i actually want, and is usually preceded by my screaming “No Fucking Way!” at my stage manager for about a whole minute.
  • I am so dumb that i invite real people to the site before thinking about whether or not i said anything about them recently that could get me into trouble.
  • When in doubt, do audition for plays with Madonna songs played on guitar, but only if you have another song in your repertoire as a backup.
  • Decide if you’re more embarrassed using a pick-up line in person or via the internet before you post the line to your website, which renders the whole debate rather moot..

    That’s a pretty good capsule summary of the last three hours of my life. I so intended to be asleep by now, but the butterflies in my stomach are holding the sleepy part of my brain hostage under threat of vicious tickle wars.

    Life is nice to me sometimes, especially when i least expect it to be. Goodnight.

    So, i’m a weakling and i want to spend more time with my theatre friends. That means i’ll be at auditions. And now i’m going to cry. But, these posts were meant to make you aware of the fact that i’m not as defenseless and rejected as i’d have you think. All of my problems are brought down upon myself, and if they aren’t that means i know how to fix them and just don’t want to. Oh, and i promise to have a trio tomorrow, i just didn’t have anything to sing about tonite.

    And i hate this feeling. It won’t be excruciating; I’ll have fun doing it. It’s just the commitment to it that is excruciating. I feel like i’m agreeing to go see a movie i don’t really want to see just because i know it’ll make me laugh. Like Austin Powers. Sure, i might have gained something from watching it, but it’s not something i even wanted to begin with.
