I'm sitting in bed drinking tea listening to hyper music, my eyelids dropping as I strive to write this entry. My eyelids are drooping, and although it is only 10:22 pm I am utterly exhausted, but it is a good type of tiredness. Satisfying. In books they always say that, and I couldn't figure out for the life of me how tiredness could be satisfying, but now I know. Today after school let out at 2:30 I was immediately at musical rehearsal adjusting things, and getting to run around like a chicken with my head cut off, something I love doing. (I'm honestly not being sarcastic right now.)
So for two years you, audience have gotten to hear all my band stories, but tonight we start a new chronicle. That of the Musical!!! (At this point in the entry you can tell exactly how tired I am)
For this year's musical (Legally Blond) I am in the costume department, and my job is to help dress the main character Elle Woods (which is simply what I shall refer to the girl playing her on this blog as). The musical world is just so different from the band one it's stunning. For everyone who is involved in one or both you may be saying duh! But for me they both had the slightly outsider geeks involved (well not exactly true with the musical, but whatever.) Both centered around music, and movement, both were directed by an adult, I mean what could be different! Sooooo much.
I just wanted to check in with this, and there are so many funny musical stories to come, but for now I just wanted to mention a funny incident that happened today. I was sitting in the back corner back stage trying to get math homework done while waiting for Elle to come off, but it was super difficult as these red lights kept flashing, and the flies kept coming down and up again. The ropes and simple machines creaking and clicking. The rumblings of gigantic sets over the wooden stage floor. With my bed bent over my work I honestly thought for a few minutes that I was on some amusement park ride.
OK that's all for now! Tootles!
