Eat Babies!

I really should be doing my European History outline for an in-class essay I have to write tomorrow. But I don't really feel like it. I need to take pictures, too, but I've been way too busy every day to even think about it.

We had spec dress rehearsal today--tomorrow's the real thing! We've been preparing for so long that it seems insanely unreal. Wow. Tomorrow I'm Mercedes, and hopefully everything will go off without a hitch. I didn't forget any lines today (minus a "Fabulous!" that didn't really mean anything) and although my blocking/movement left a little to be desired I think I did an okay job. Eli texted me to be louder, so I tried, but I'm not really sure if it worked. Also, I think I talk way too fast. But whatever, I'm just really self-conscious. People told me I did well, though I think they would say that no matter what. Trippy Trip was okay, but I feel that they were kind of overhyped. I mean, they were all "we're so good! our dance is awesome! ours is perfect! we're amazing!" but it wasn't fabulous. Definitely good, but not as good as I'd thought. The acting was great and the effects/sets were good, too, but I just didn't laugh. This Is Spec was really good--they kept me laughing (a lot!) and, although I'm not a big fan of the storyline, it worked out really well. Ben and Tre were great and I loved their song "Guy Love." Camp Raindrop was all right. They definitely had their funny parts (most involving Andrew as a girl in short shorts...kind of embarrassing but hilarious) but a lot of it wasn't that great. I did like when all the GTA people came on (Andrew was great! And Will was...Will.). I hope we did well.

School today was so-so. I'm tired of spec drama and Sam getting all bent out of shape for stupid reasons (oh, my, god....CALM DOWN! even Otto was saying it in Physics!). It's almost over, though. Ian invited Lizzie and I (and a few other people) to the Trippy Trip afterparty, although we definitely will be attending our own party first. I just want to have some FUN!!! It's spec party! It's supposed to be crazy. And Asterisk isn't exactly crazy. I talked to Lizzie (E) about it and she said she thought it would be fine, but she's checking with Sam (W) and Amy (R). I hope it's okay...I think they'd be pretty chill about it as long as we didn't have a million people. Which we won't. I imagine that there would be a maximum of nine people, but probably more like five. I'm not going to tell everyone, just a few people, anyway.

I really enjoyed our pre-performance hype session. Also, I really enjoyed the post-dress rehearsal compliment from a certain someone in a yellow CR hoodie (!), showing me that maybe all is not forgotten. Maybe P---SA will come off? Probably not.
