It's Time Now, LETS GO!

[plumtreeblossom]

I love the day of opening nights. I’m at work but my mind is cheerfully elsewhere, looking forward to tonight’s performance. Getting ourselves ready for this show has been tremendous weirdo fun, we’re looking at a probable sold-out house tonight, and if the curtain rope doesn’t break again (or even if it does), we’ve got us a show.

Reading other cast/company members LJs over the last two weeks, I must say we do sometimes sound like we’ve been licking Prozac Pops, but it really does feel that good. Artistic collaboration, when the chemistry is good, is a natural high for me, and I can tell others feel that same synergy. Like being in love, positive collaboration can give me that balloon-like loft, and that sassy sparkle that says "This is good."

Last night was so humid that even the money in my wallet got damp. Still, we had a great evening at the new apartment of Miss Stephanie the Greek Goddess, who hosted a nice back-yard get together for the Listies (I don’t know what else to call them). Amy’s homemade wine, lots of chatter and fun conversation made for a lovely evening with new friends.

I’ve also gone boy-crazy these last few weeks. But lets stay out of that cookie jar. ;-)

*wahhhhhhh* I want chocolate chip cookies!!!

No, seriously, though...I'm so happy you came and that I had that soiree. It was a wonderful party, despite the gross humidity. And really--it was the best medicine to remedy the crappy, stressful, tear-inducing day that I had at work. I was such a nervous wreck all day that when I came home and did some cleaning and got ready for my party, it was SO nice to funnel that energy into something else...and then for the stress to melt away once people came.

Break a leg tonight, you hear? :)

There's the hostess with the mostest! And I will indeed break a leg -- maybe both. :-)

You do know that I'm going to be using that Prozac Pops line in the future, right? :-D

And trust me, boys don't mind that you've gone boy-crazy. Hell, I've spent the last decade girl crazy!

I actually had you in the back of my mind when I came up with that line. I think you're like the little devil who sits on my shoulder feeding me wicked quips. (John can be the angel on the other side scolding "No! You mustn't say such things! That's not nice!")

See, when I first read that I thought you meant the boy-crazy line. However, being the wicked one is always fun. I'm going to have to try to remember to bring my devil handpuppet in to one of the shows so I can actually do that to you. :-p

Jeez, when did I reach the Age of Responsibility that allows me to be anyone's shoulder-angel? Yipes!

(On the other hand, improving your personal moral compass doesn't sound like hard work -- nowhere to go but up. ;)

Many crushes. Between my C-list group, T@F, and intriguing friends-of-friends, I'm constantly surrounded by attractive men. Why not like them all? :-)

no reason i can think of. save some for me! :)

[chanaleh.livejournal.com]

There are definitely some highly cute boys in your production. Highly. ;-)

Yay! See you there!

(I think Beckie/Chris might still need ushers that night if any of you are interested in snagging a free ticket...)
