Breathe Again

Hello blog journal, how have you been? Long time no see.

So since last time I was on here, we opened Hairspray. The opening went really well on Thursday and the audience loved the show. It's a lot of fun to play in the pit and the music is great, but I really wish we could jam out. It sometimes seems the show lacks the energy that it could have, but oh well, maybe that will change with time. Also, Gail is back! She wrote a review for Hairspray and it was a good review, and she is up to her old antics as usual haha.

So the director left and I had been planning to move into his room ever since the beginning. Well last night I started moving my stuff out, and I had to stop. I was second guessing making the switch, and kind of didn't want to. I had gotten so used to my little room and I was kind of sad to leave it, I was having like weird separation anxiety which I've never had happen before. I guess I really do take a place and kind of transform it to make it my own, so when I had to move out of it, it was tough, especially because I didn't feel ready to leave. Well after distracting myself for a couple hours I finally moved everything in to the new room, and I'm starting to get used to it. The one thing  I miss is the window that faces the main street with lots of light. Now my window looks at the brick wall in the alley.

Today I got up and a couple of us went to the Italian Festival in Washington Park. We were only there for like a half hour but it was nice to walk outside on the gorgeous day (thank GOD it has stopped raining!) and it was nice to hang out with some of the cast.

My parents and sister came yesterday and I spent the day hanging out with them and then they saw the show that night which was awesome. We ate at Smith's which was delicious and did a wine tasting at the wine store and bought some chocolate apples that are AMAZING.

Well we have two shows today, and then a matinee tomorrow and then I'm going into the city! I'm really excited to visit people and just to be there again and especially to see Amelia and Julia. It's going to be a lot of fun. Gotta run, time for the show!
