These are the nights where the green room is quiet and sound effects like thunder and rain permeate the loudspeakers
The ladies of the wardrobe crew sit and text, play solitaire and my personal favorite catch up on their weekly television during ACT 1
Funny how two worlds exist side by side one make believe and one very much the reality of the waiting game
Don't get me wrong I love this, this predictability and mundanity, the pattern
Sometimes i just wish it was me telling the story
Get a chance to not get lip from people who think they're entitled to my helping them with the simplest things
I love the responsibility and feeling of being needed but there is such a thing as making me do the run around for something when there is no need.

sitting outside under the glow of neon lights sharing in my friend's recent obsession with mo-town under a cloudy sky that doesn't give out stars for to the untrained eye makes me realize that maybe the ground underneath my feet is more solid than i thought. Work is going well, my show is in good shape to open after a rather good tech rehearsal tonight, my friends are all alive and well with their quirks and oddities, academically nothing i can't handle if i sit down and just do it. Next weekend my parents are coming to see me perform after 2 years of me being backstage, so life is good or at least it is in this moment. I'm a bit worried as to my health because my drive to exercise is kind of non existent and i feel like i'm letting myself down but also somethings just need time to be rediscovered...maybe tonight...

Here's to a Year...raise a glass
So here's to sophomore year at college (raise a whiskey sour, mint julep, margarita, or hell a nice glass of white chardonnay if you so wish). It's been a bit tougher adjusting for this lady... thinking aint the same as doing so keep busy. THANK GOD FOR FRIENDS! Definitely missed ma ladies Laur and Mama D so finding them was like a weight lifted off my shoulders. Making new friends like all those freshmen who have taken to calling me momma bear (yall are so cute), and reconnecting with old lost connections. On the job front i'm doing work study this semester as costume shop assistant/ wardrobe and makeup supervisor for the main stages this semester. It's like meditation, the sound of the sewing machine humming steadily as i try for the 3rd time to maintain a 5/8 of an inch seam allowance. Or the steady smoothing of wig hair as it gets revived from years spend in a closet only to be thought of at the drop of a hat. Along those lines i have also been cast in my first theatrical endeavor...no not the mainstage but a student workshop directed by my friend Marge. We're putting on a production of "you me and wii" by sue townsend and the old lady will be played by yours truly. So far i'm enjoying it even though it's proving to be hard work. I guess being out of practice doesn't help but the lines are what kill me the most...today will be spent learning them like the back of my hand! Classes are fine. I'm enjoying my english, french, and voice classes but my politics of the 1960's class is really throwing me for a loop. so we'll see. For now i'll finish this episode of law and order and then take of my facemask and go to bed. Gnight to you too...or goodmorning :)
