To the theatre, regarding security:
Hey.
I hate you.
Did you know that?
And I’m tired of you.
Because you are mine.
I know you,
And so I can hate you.
You no longer dazzle me,
And so I can be exhausted.
The hours I spend serving you
Are no longer magical
And that’s all right.
I am becoming a part of you,
As you are becoming a part of me.
You are familiar,
Even if I don’t always understand you.
You are home,
Even if you aren’t always safe.
The extremes fade away, leaving routine in their wake.
And routine…
I used to think I would never stop being awed by you.
But I have.
And I’m glad.
Because instead of my hero you’re becoming my mentor.
Instead of my dream you’re becoming my friend.
Someone I’d sit by on a bus,
Someone I’d ask to watch my things,
Someone I’d take a selfie with,
Someone I’d laugh with,
Someone I’d cry with.
Your magic falls away and in its place I find something genuine.
And now there is no question if it will last,
Because even if it doesn’t,
You cannot forget me
As I cannot forget you.
So thanks,
My friend,
For being my friend.
Thanks,
My friend,
For letting me inside.
And thanks,
My friend,
For the promise of tomorrow.
Rue
Spoiler…wow I don’t even know how long it’s been since I wrote one of these.
Anyway…tech week starts tomorrow, so we’re getting to the point where my entire personality gets replaced by theatre again. I also found out I’m on theatre presidency for next year, which is super exciting. As soon as our musical closes (the 29th), I have a couple really tough auditions.
One is for the Shakespeare class, which I think I’ll make it into…except that there’s another level to it. We go to the Shakespeare festival in cedar city every October, but this year he took 50 people, and next year he’s only taking 17. 8 techs, 9 actors. And that’s determined by the audition into the class. (Which, by the way, we don’t have the date for because he wants to see how quickly we can prepare. So he’ll tell us on a Monday and we’ll audition that Friday.)
The other is MDT (musical dance theatre) auditions. I’m not a great singer or dancer, but I really want to make it in. So…fingers crossed.
Anyway, if I survive the next couple weeks then I’ll have a huge party and you’re all invited as long as you don’t burn my house down. (Speaking of which, I won’t really be able to RP this week…sorry everyone in the insanity clinic)
How do you all do on this wonderful sabbath day?

Tech week is where everybody does dress rehearsals with special effects and the proper sound system every night for a week straight.
We are all insane by the end of it and it is beautiful.

Tech week is pain
Tech week is suffering
Tech week is like running a marathon all day and being expected to still pass all your classes and take tests and do homework
Tech week is where hope goes to die
(just kidding)
(mostly)
We also have a live band, so we get to figure everything out with them.
