my alarm was set for 9. Oh well. At least when I woke up I got to listen to a 3 minute long ramble of a voice mail, sober I might add, from Josh talking about Karaoke. Which I may or may not have listened to more than once today.....
Work was pretty easy going today, I got to watch this 15 minute documentary about Flat Rock that was made back in 1967, I got released for lunch like 20 minutes early, had to sweep and mop the dance floor, then I spent pretty much the next two and a half hours in the theatre library putting card holders in the back of scripts so people could check them out. yeah not the most fun I have ever had but I didn't get to see a lot of interesting plays that I now must read while I am here. Charles let me leave at 3 which is two hours earlier that we are suppose to leave so that was awesome! I decided to Wal-mart since I needed two very random things and didn't feel like being on campus anymore. I also tried to find the really cheap book exchange they have here, but I failed. Well I guess not really since I saw it on my way to Wal-Mart, but I didn't get to go in. So if there are any books anyone wants me to look for let me know b/c I can get them for a buck. After I got back I ended up driving around with one of my roommates for a while before dinner. Dinner was amazing tonight. There is something about having breakfast for dinner that just seems to make everything better. We ended up staying outside for about an hour and a half just talking. I now know a rather disturbing yet funny story about two gerbils... you should ask me about it some time. Tonight I get to go to my first midnight studio. Its a chance for anyone who works here to get up and preform a monologue or a song or a scene or whatever.I am really excited to see it because I want to do one while I am up here, but I didn't really bring anything with me so I guess I will just have to wait and see.
At dinner tonight I got shown to me once again just how small the theatre world is. There is a girl here who is an apprentice from Ga, her name is Jennifer. She and I were talking about how awful construction is on 75/85 and I said something about how annoying the construction is on the way to Columbus. She then asked me if I knew Nick Crawly. Turns out they dated in high school. And we where both at GTC this year. And now that she told me who she was I remembered Nick pointing her out to me and telling me that he had dated her.
My mom said something to me today that really got me thinking. I was telling her that Josh was going to come up here in July for a visit. Her response: You mean you guys have made plans for the future? wow I think I should start to get worried.
It was funny because I was thinking the exact same thing. Me, someone who is completely freaked out by the future, who doesn't like to make plans with a guy for more than a week in advanced has made plans with someone a month away from now. And the strangest part is, it doesn't scare me at all. I don't' know what this is, and I don't know really what that means. All I know is for the fist time in a very long time I am really, really happy. And I am not afraid to get put myself out there and get hurt. I have been taking the same approach to this relationship that I have all the others that I have been in this year. I told myself not to get too close and just take things one day at a time. But I guess I took a leap. Because for once I feel like there is someone there who will catch me.
Yes,terrible things happen, but sometimes those terrible tings: They save you.
