There's No Place Like Home.

I'm so happy to be home!
I never actually thought I would find my town to be exciting.
I had fun though, despite Nebraska's lack of civilization.

We spent all of Sunday driving there, so I slept most of the time.

Monday, we didn't do much but there was a meeting for all the main stage shows that were performing that we went to.

Tuesday was pretty fun, we walked around the town. The bad part of Tuesday was watching a horrible attempt at the musical Beauty and the Beast. I can't even begin to describe how embarrassed I was for the technicians running that show. I'll rant about it some other time but let me just say this, if you're a techie and you're moving something off stage...don't wear fucking white shoes with your all black outfit!!!

Wednesday was the day we did our two performances. I was incredibly tired and really nervous for our shows but we made very few mistakes and none of our techies wore white shoes. I'm really sad it's over actually. I came to be a part of that show out of pure luck actually and I didn't really work on it all that much but it's still something I really loved and I'm going to miss it. I got along with all the people on crew and the actors have an insane amount of talent...it's just sad that it's over now.

On Thursday I got up in the morning and went to see another show that made me want to strangle someone. Then I went to lunch with my friends, went to some classes, and hung out in our hotel room. That night we actually saw a really great play called The Boys Next Door, it was about four mentally challenged boys and their caretaker. It made me want to cry actually, it was really amazing and the actors did a great job.

In the morning on Friday we saw the sweetest play called Almost, Maine. It was just a bunch of stories about couples and it was so adorable! Then we walked around town, went to a couple workshops and then instead of going to a show that night, our theatre director paid for us all to go see Transformers. It was pretty awesome, except that Megan Fox's looks don't seem to be affected by battling Decepticons. Her hair is always perfect apparently.

Saturday was fairly uneventful. We saw the Individual Events winners perform in the morning. We walked around most of the day. That night, we snuck into the larger theatre to see The Wedding Singer when we were supposed to be seeing All Shook Up. Then we snuck out. It was incredibly disappointing, for both techies and actors. Then I went to the hotel, packed and fell asleep.

Then Sunday, we drove home.

I don't remember which day it was, but one night someone decided to pull the fire alarm in our hotel when the hotel was not on fire. I was not amused.

That was about it. It was a fun week and I really got to know the people I work with a lot better, which is always a good thing. I'm generally not a talkative person so it was good for me to socialize with people. I think, hopefully, I made some new friends and got to really know the ones I already had.

These Soles Are Useless Without You

I hate getting up early and having nothing to do.
And my house smells like bacon. Which isn't very nice.
Unfortunately I'm stuck at home until 3 today because I was the last in my family to have plans...
Which means I'm the lucky person who gets to open the door for the person who is going to clean our carpets.
Yay :/
It's not that bad though, because at 3 my friend is coming to rescue me and I will wear my new clothes that I got yesterday and attempt to help her make a dress or something of the sort. (I'm not too clear on the plans...)
Until then...I'll probably clean my room.
Or throw everything onto my bed and go watch youtube videos.
The second choice sounds a lot more likely.

I'm Scared.

It's four in the morning and I just woke up from an incredibly disturbing nightmare.
It involved Joe Jonas, Single Ladies, and a pair of black heels.

The video of Joe Jonas doing the Single Ladies dance has seriously scarred me.
After viewing it, I truly considered gouging my own eyeballs out.
I felt ashamed to live within 100 miles of a person that could cause that sort of grotesque image.
I mean, trust me, I felt ashamed to be near him before this video but now it's insanely worse.
Did he not consider the psychological damage that such a video could cause to the young minds that, for some strange reason, idolize him?
Yet somehow, the video has 5 million + views.
The only explanation for this is that, this video, is one of those rare disgusting things that you just can't look away from.
Even as I write this, I find myself replaying the video in horror.
Joe Jonas has terrified me, yet intrigued me at the same time.
I despise the Jonas Brothers, but let me just say, what Joe did was a smart career move.
Whether young girls are scarred by it or gushing over it, they WILL pass the video on to ALL of their friends.

I'm warning you, watch this at your own risk.

Music

Today I was watching this show, and it really bothered me.
It's not unusual to have music in the background sometimes during a show...
But throughout this show, it seemed like anytime there was a scene with this one specific character, they played Soulmate by Natasha Bedingfield.
It was incredibly annoying.
Not because I dislike the song, but playing it everytime just made it sound like the man had Natasha Bedingfield stalking him.

That's all...it just bothered me. There's a point when background music becomes stupid.
