I just got back from the cast party, which was at groovin_reuven's apartment [by the way thank you so much for hosting.] I'm guessing there were about 30 people there, and since his apartment was small people were sitting on the floors, and the music wasn't so loud and there wasn't dancing, so it was quite a laid back cast party. And there was tons of pizza for everyone, warmed up in the oven.

I was on time for davening this morning. Not just on time, but EARLY. I got there before 9:00am, there were like 3 guys around. So I sat through all of shacharit. Well except for getting up a billion times to drink water because I was dehydrated.

Last night, I had the most awful dream. I woke up from it at 7:20am, and usually I'd go back to sleep this early, but this time I was so afraid I'd just go back to that dream that I decided the extra sleep wasn't worth it. I was shaken up until tonight.


I was in a house with a bunch of other people. Everything was well and good until some guys [who I know IRL, go to Penn, and I'm not naming or even initialing this time] came to the house and were trying to kill us. We tried to stop them from getting in, but the door was wide open. I tried to hide. No one could hurt them- when they had their arms cut off, they just reattached, so I assume they were pretty darn invincible. Yet I knew I had to survive, I just wasn't sure how that would happen.

Then an interlude where 2 guys were at a high school putting up signs that said something along the lines of me being a slut. So I had to explain to them how I wasn't a slut, and I asked- what had possesed them to do such a thing in the first place? They took down the ones near them, but there were ones elsewhere, and tons of people had already seen them.

Then back to the people trying to kill us- irl guy comes in, and I'm there with IRL girl, and the guy tells the girl that he's not going to kill her, and he'll keep her around because she's pretty.

then there was some girl who had a completely messed up face. I'm not sure how I can describe it, but the picture is so clear in my head. Imagine a volcano crater sort of thing, except tiny, and then a bunch of them, forming the nose and mouth and eyes, though there were real eyes at the top of the craters. Somehow the guys had done this to her. And then the image turned into this orange and yellow flower that had a similar shape, and then the petals turned to fire, and then they were reborn and formed a big flower, and there were 2 [normal] girls standing behind it, and it stopped moving and was captured into the card the 2 of wands/rods [it's a tarot card.] the flower was actually very pretty.

then back to the guys trying to kill us. so there was a desk that had a top that could flip over and be something else [i'm not sure what] and we were trying to hold it in place so the normal side was up, because there was something on the other side we wanted to hide from the guys. and then we found out this [fictional] girl was the one who had given us away in the first place that the guys were after us to kill us.

i'm still not sure why they wanted to kill us. But after that I was too terrified to go back to bed.


my deli-roll meal was a success. i didn't label the deli-rolls, and each one was different, so everyone just passed them around and tried all of the different ones. And the one person who I was out to impress really liked my deli-roll, which made me very happy. A said there wasn't enough sauce, and then I think cynara_linnaea or possibly JL[female] or someone else yelled at him for not being nicer to me after I made 12 freaking deli-rolls. I just figure if he really cared that much then he shouldn't be eating my deli-roll anyways.

we went through most of them, but there's a little left over in 408's fridge that i have to retrieve. It's my lunch for Mongefest on Tuesday!

Then we hung out afterwards in the lounge, or the "fun room" as we renamed it. Mostly talking about the show, and other things as well.
--------------------------
Of course, I only had an hour between when I got home and when I had to go to Iron Gate, except it was really much shorter. And then something happened that I won't get into that took 15 precious minutes. And thus I had no time to go to FG before the show to pick up cast party food and flowers. I figured I'd get flowers at WaWa.

WaWa, much to my dismay, doesn't have flowers. And any place that did wouldn't be open. And I had to stay to make sure the pizza got here. So when i got back to Iron Gate I was in tears, and then A.J. saw me and was really nice, and then masteraleph tried to find someone else to get the flowers, but he ended up not, and JG said that 7-11 sells flowers, and they're much closer.

Unfortunately, there was only 1 rather dead boquet at 7-11, and I needed 2 boquets, the un-dead kind. So I had to go to FG after all [this was all after the pizza had arrived during intermission. I was very pissed off by the end of it and wanted to kill everyone who was making me do things. I mean fine, I have a job. But that job is costumes. Somehow I also became the general doeverythingsincei'mnotneededbackstage girl. And there's only 1 of me, and I really can't be at 2 places at the same time. But I got everything, and there were flowers.

I never get flowers, though. The cast got flowers for opening night. The stage manager and director got flowers tonight. But no flowers for me. I suppose I shouldn't care so much, and I got a really amusing book [the worst case scenario book!] but I also want flowers. Maybe not flowers for doing costumes, but flowers because it's my birthday soon [14 days!] and valentine's day soon [9 days] and yes I know valentine's day is really a christian holiday, but it's so secular now, and I want to get flowers and chocolate. I'm probably not going to, but I can always dream, right?

meanwhile I don't have actual birthday plans. my birthday is on a sunday, so we can't really go out [and i still have Sunday Night Learning] and the JG's birthday is the next weekend, so we'd be celerating hers. So I guess no birthday party. :( at least my parents are buying me tons of kippah yarn in israel if they can find it [i can find it easily, but then again i lived in jerusalem for 2 months].

And of course, another story that i'm not going to tell now. Because I always have stories.

Now now, it's not Valentine's Day. It's the Rabbi Valenstine Day Celebration (you think I'm kidding...check the master dining hall calendar).

Thank you so, so much for getting the flowers, which was really incredible.
