Well, later today I will be heading out on the road to minneapolis for the weekend where I will see Sarah McLachlan in concert!!!! I'm really excited for that. I haven't seen her perform since Lilith Fair my sophomore year of high school. Or was it Junior . . . I think it was at the very beginning of my Junior year . . . that's it, yeah. So, its been 5 years. Man, that's a long time. And it wasn't just Sarah at the time. It was Sarah and a bunch of other women. This time, it's all Sarah. I can not wait! Being so close to the stage, being enveloped in the rhythms and fluid melodies that have soothed, comforted, and encouraged me all these years. Live music is powerful in a way that I can not describe. I am beyond excited for this concert. The $400 I'm spending on it will be well worth it.
I have had such an annoyingly difficult time finding people to go, though! First Emily cancels, completely negating the need for the 2 extra tickets I ordered. I shouldn't have counted on her going. But then again, she shouldn't have assured me she would go without checking her schedule. I could've saved $160 and a LOT of hassle. But oh well. And then I haven't heard from Jacob in months, so I guess he no longer wants to go. My brother didn't want to go. He's such a hermit, its ridiculous. My sister wanted to go, but couldn't get work off. Its insane how many people have to work on labor day weekend! Good god! And even though Scott and Katrina are going to be near minneapolis this weekend, they can't go either. So, Joe called up his friend Rob, asking if Rob wanted the 4th ticket. Well, Rob couldn't very well go without his boyfriend . . . (resulting in the ragey post last night) so I'm selling Rob two of the tickets. Kori and I will go, and Joe will just pick us up afterward.
Even with all the hassle, I'm still really excited. I'm using the $80 from the other 2 tickets on Sarah Stuff; t-shirts, posters, calenders, whatever I can get my hands on! Oh, and I'm bringing my digital camera no matter what the tickets say. I don't need to use the flash, so it's not like I'll be distracting Sarah or anything. OH, I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!
And the cast list for Seussical will be posted tomorrow. I'm a bit more excited than I was before call backs. I guess it might be a fun show. I may post the results before I leave.
But I'm really starting to get excited for my one-act. I've been reading plays practically non-stop, and I've found one I definitely want to do. The only thing is that its a cast of only 4, and its not terribly long, so I want to do a second one act to go along with it. Oh, they are going to be so good. I can tell already. Everyone has to come see my shows! They'll be great! They'll be at the end of November, I believe, or the week before thanksgiving, I think. More info when I get more info.
And I've decided that I'm going to be taking a break from AIM and MSN for a while. The thing is . . . every time I've gotten on them lately, I've . . . felt like shit. It's hard to explain. Just talking to people, and learning what's going on with them makes me jealous and just plain feel shitty about myself. Oh, fuck it, I'm just going to come out and say it. John Paul, I need a break from you. I like you waaaaaay too much, and every time I talk to you it hurts really, really bad. I just need to break contact till these wounds heal, and then we can just go back to being friends again. I just can't deal with it right now. It feels too much like all the rejection I've faced in the past, and I'm not the most stable right now, so I just need to go away.
So, if anyone is wondering, that's why I'm not on AIM or MSN. That and its a phenomenal time vacuum. I have better things I could be doing than waiting for someone to get online so I can chat with them.
