it's been a while

yeah, i know. haven't written in a long while. the show kinda took over my life (as they tend to do) and i never really got up to the computer. i don't have the luxury of some with a laptop to write wherever i want. that is something i am hoping to get soon though. so here's what i've been up to. my show was a good success! had two different versions of reviews. one was in the Denver Post, including my pic! they recommended the show. the other was in the Daily Camera (Boulder's paper) and they did not recommend the show. we had another article, but it turned out more about the director and the assistant director hooking up and getting married during rehearsals. there's always drama within a show! =) but they did mention the play inbetween talking about them, and put two pics in, including me! which is very wierd because i had a small role. but man was she a fun roll! according to my husband, i was the only one that had full character to my character (and he wasn't just saying that), and he wasn't a fan of the play.
during the play, i turned the big 30. yeah, that really depressed me. took off work and sulked all day. my husband was good to me though and got me a journey emerald/diamond necklace and took me to gordon biersch for dinner. yum! still not happy that i am no longer a young adult. even though i don't look it. they kept reminding me in the show that i'm playing a 17 year old, so i shouldn't be so down. i just don't think they understand. yeah, i can still look it, but it doesn't change the #. and everyone takes birthdays and ages a little different. i didn't want to celebrate, and people knew that, yet they still felt they should. so i got a cookie with a candle and sung to by the cast. and people at work got me stuff. i just wish people would respect my decisions sometimes. oh well. it came, it went, i guess i'll get over it.
i saw Wicked! OH MY GOSH!!!!! go see! it was fabulously marvulous! i would've gone every night if i could! the girl playing elphaba went to northern colorado. my husband flattered me and said he wants to see me play her someday. i told him i wanted to play glinda, cause she's fun, but he said i would make elphaba more real. i totally recommend seeing it! it's not a show to overlook. it must be seen by everyone! my husband even stood at the end for the chorus! he never does that! we were on our feet before the curtain went up for the call! fabulous!
so now that i've seen that, have the taste of theatre back in my mouth, i'm thinking of going back to school for theatre. yeah, i know, i'm crazy. i've been arguing with myself on it however. am i really good enough to get accepted into the program? will my age be discouraging (yes, it bothers me)? even though i would look the same age as all the other girls, how would i do? if i do go through the program within this year, and then graduate in 4 yrs, that puts a lot of roles out of the question. would i have to move to NY? i don't want to. (yea, i'm crazy) could i just audition in CA? would anyone even cast me? so many questions.i just don't know what to do...
on a last note, as this has gotten long, we finally got our new bed!!! we got it from pottery barn. it is so nice! it's huge! seeing as it's a king size and a canapy. i just love it. and of course we had to get new mattresses as well. i have the hardest time getting out in the mornings. which i knew would happen. we still need one more dresser, but we will be getting that soon. it's on backorder. the bed is so solid and heavy, it's really going to suck when we go to paint the room! ok, i have talked enough. my husband has finished making lunch, and i must go before it get's cold. GO SEE WICKED! miss my ohio friends terribly!!
