April 13, 2001 So, today I have done nothing at work and I am feeling guilty. I'm sure it will pass but guilt is such a strong feeling. What was the feeling I had the other day that bothered me...conscience. I think that was it. I had a bout with conscience. It was very odd and I really like when I can keep it in it's little box. But it's Friday and I am looking forward to going to Nations on Saturday. Partly because I get to see my friends and all that but I'm intrigued but what trouble I can get into this week. I have been meeting the coolest new people there and you me and people, the more I meet the happier I am. I love seeing the differences in people and finding out what makes them tick. April 20, 2001 Well, the time of the play is getting nearer. To explain: a few months ago my friend Matt and I said that we were going to get into acting and we saw this add in the paper for tryouts for Henry VI. Eventually we decided it was out of our league at the moment and we didn't really have the time. Flash forward to three weeks ago when I was at the club, The Cage, on Thursday and my friend Kelley asked if I wanted to be in this show she was in. It would be a very small part and enough to get my feet wet. I jumped at the chance, forgetting that fact that I don't think I can act. Nevertheless, rehearsals have been a blast and the people are all really nice. I still think I lack the ability at times to really act but people say I'm doing okay, so we'll see. But the play is next weekend, April 27-28 and the next two and I'm getting nervous. And it feels so good.
April 26, 2001 Well, just like before the play is getting nearer. So near that opening night is tomorrow night! It's really getting exciting and the more that I think about it the more freaked out I get. All of which is normal but I am also intrigued to be in front of all those people. Anyone who wants to read up on the troupe can go to the web site. The group is called the Rude Mechanicals and they have been tons of fun. The time that I spend there is killing me and probably taking a performance hit at my job but it seems to be worth it. Tryouts for the next play, Twelfth Night, are next week and I am going to try out for a bigger part in that one. It just makes me smile since acting is really the only thing that I know I have wanted to do. Nothing else has really been going on. I haven't really
been out clubbing since I have been at the play. I was supposed
to go out on a date with my friend but communication
died again so I don't know where that stands. I haven't
seen any of my friend in ages and I don't know what's going on there.
My friend Kris is coming to DC over the summer and that
should be really cool. I am anxious to hang out with him.
April 29, 2001 Well the first weekend of the play is over and I think that all went well. I was amazingly not nervous on opening night and I think I did a great job. We had about 35 people come and that was more than I thought would show. We were all full of energy and I think we all smoked the show. My friends Jen, Matt, Lee, Neal all came to support and I think they had a good time. Saturday I think we all had a lot less energy but I still think the show went really well. I am amazed that a condensation of all three Henry VI plays came together within 12 weeks. Last night Leah and Scott came. I was glad that my friends came out to support me and I hoped they had a good time. I think they did. |
