Excerpts of Semi-Significant Conversations From the Last Two Days.

*Monday, during lunch, in the theatre stairwell.

Simon: *walks in, looks to the left to see a little Andrea who has been creeper-staring at him from behind the window in the door for the last several minutes, then proceeds to sit down next to the trash can.*
Lauren: "Oh, Andrea, tell Simon the good news!"
Andrea: *is standing facing Lauren, turns to her right to Simon.* "I'm pregnant."
Simon: *look of kind-of-okay-ness*
Lauren: "Whatnddfgkg the OTHER good news."
Andrea: "It's not yours."
Simon: *same reaction, nod.*
Lauren: "The BETTER news."
Andrea: "It's Fox's."
Lauren: "... Y'know, I don't even know if GSA is above or below that... Ummm..."
Andrea: "Oh by the way I got into GSA."

YEAH GUYS. I GOT IIIIIIIIIIN. I'm so excited! Five, possibly six of us will be attending from my county. Tasha, Nick-the-previously-described-saint, Abbie-who-we-would-think-was-on-drugs-sometimes-if-we-didn't-know-any better, Tori-that-I-don't-know, and I were accepted into theatre, instrumental/piano, digital art, and creative writing, respectively. We discovered that Colby may be selected to attend if one of the theatre students is unable to attend for any reason. I've already told our director that I shall be incapacitating a threatre student so that Colby can attend with me and we can cause mass chaos and obsess over all the pretty people together. My next challenge is finding a way to pack three weeks of clothing in one or two suitcases. I'm rather notorious around these parts for wearing entirely unnecessary amounts of clothing. If I were any bigger, I would probably make a decent blankie. Colby also says that I could never be a stripper because the show would last seven hours and by the end of it everybody's boners woulda gone flaccid.

Dress rehearsal also started on Sunday, and our show goes up on Thursday. My duties as stage manager now include running the C board (with Lauren, Allen, and Colby to do it on occasion), going up to the catwalk like a ninja to hang things during blackouts and feeling grateful that West Virginia isn't victim to many earthquakes, holding random things for Todd, tying Macy up, aaaand, according to this random ginger boy that I see in the lobby whenever I run around setting costumes and looking for mic tape, "running around like a chicken with its head cut off." I'm not even sure who he is aside from that he's apparently friends with one of the Emilys (we have three; he's going to have to be specific). Things I didn't need to do, but have done anyway (sometimes on accident) are accidentally jabbing the corner of Colby's mouth, stealing Fox's very soft shirt after rehearsal, hunting through overalls trying to find Damian's mic, etc... It's all been quite... Interesting.

Fox: "So, when Macy said 'Tie me up, Andrea,' on a scale of one to ten, how excited were you?"
Andrea: "... Twelve and a half."

Simon says that he would also be excited about tying Macy up. Chris, who plays Ugly, the lead character, asked me after rehearsal how long I'd been in Boy Scouts because apparently I make things quite complicated for him.

Todd hasn't kicked me out of his car yet... He actually manages to make ME feel awkward more than I could make him feel awkward. He's quite the snoop! And he told Colby something earlier, but they won't tell me what it was. Colby tried to divert my attention by pointing in the opposite direction and yelling "Look Andrea! I'm naked over there!!" but I just replied with "NO YOU'RE NOOOOOT. YOU'RE RIGHT HERE. FULLY DRESSED."

Todd would've told me in exchange for other information, but that information was not mine to distribute... Lovely. These are like the car rides where dirty little secrets come out of hiding. lkdgklgfkldglkjdslkjdg TOOOOOODDDDDDD.

It is one in the morning, and I haven't even taken a shower yet. I am going to hate myself tomorrow,
Andrea! <3
