So little time.
Feb. 16th, 2004 04:37 pmAllow me to recollect the events of this week. Part of this will be in a friends only entry, and I apologize for that, but it is necessary.

Wednesday, February 11th
The first night of the show. We had a tiny audience, but the show itself went rather well. Beforehand I decided that I was going to go to the knitting circle, despite impending work. I didn't really have anything due Thursday, it was more a matter of getting everything ready in time for the show. Which I did.

Thursday, February 12th
I was out on Locust Walk advertising for the show from 2-3. Afterwards Gwen and I went shopping for a present for Alex. I found her an awesome book, which hopefully Alex enjoyed.
Then we had the show. Unfortunately, next door was a sorority who just couldn't shut up. I almost missed my cue to bring out the plates. I did miss keeping a glass backstage for act 2. We covered up. I'm not sure if Sharon drank from that glass and I'm not sure if it was kosher. Oops!
Afterwards I talked to Maurene who helped me feel less stressed and annoyed. Then I went to Fresh Grocer's to buy challah and grape juice for Yosef's meal.I got bac at 1:30. So much for studying!

I definitely needed the break from backstage work.
I went to RJC services, and somewhere in the beginning I decided I didn't want to use the siddur RJC made and instead wanted to daven with my mini artscroll. It's so weird. I no longer am comfortable in RJC services.
Yosef's dinner was awesome. I was sitting next to Ari Levine, who can sing really well, and I told him that I liked when he sang harmony cause I couldn't do it around them since almost all the guys there are kol isha. So he was like, "Ok, I'll sing harmony more, then." And his harmonies are better than whatever I would have come up with. Also, dialogue between Chuck Boyars and Raphi Levy was amusing.
It ended around 9ish and we hung out for a bit afterwards. Then Yosef and Shlomo went to sleep. At this point Reuven, Elan, and I were in their common room and I decided it would be better to go somewhere else considering that it wasn't our room. So we visited Peretz's room and saw his gumball machine, which is really amusing. Then I went over to animeness.
Sean, Mauruene, and I did another one of those staying up till 7am things. Only this time I didn't have euphoria to keep me going on shabbat. And someof the things Sean said just unitentionally hurt me. I dug my fingers into my arm to distract myself from the emotion of it, though it didn't really work so well.

Saturday, February 14th
By some miracle after a 2 hour nap I woke up in time for services. My torah reading went well for the first time in a few weeks. It was probablybecause it was only 4 lines long, allowing me to go over it several times. I told David Pollack I wanted haftorah for my birthday weekend.
Shabbat overall kept me in a good mood and distracted me from the fact that it was Valentine's day. Valentine's day alone when you're spending it with a bunch of Obserant Jews who don't celebrate the day isn't so bad. It just that there's still some reminder of my singleness, and it's 5 days before my birthday.
Probably to stop my worrying, a long time ago, people told me that they knew people who were 18 or 19 and still never had boyfriends. That meant that I, at 13 or whatever I was, was normal and that things would happen eventually. Of course, I'm about to be one of those 19 year old girls who has never had a boyfriend. You gotta love the irony.
Of course, that doesn't make me desparate. I suppose If a guy told me he liked me right now I'd be very suspicious. Especially if I didn't expect it.
Ok cut rant, back to chronology.
Saturday night was the final show. We did strike really quickly, and I got to sleep on a couch in the prop shop. The party was fun, though I was really tires, so I left early.
