ah, life on a stage

if it weren't for the majesty of the stage, that element that it contains that no other things can, if it weren't for that, then my life simply would not be the same. if it weren't for my being lead there, being drawn there by some ridiculous force greater than myself, i wouldn't know those people that i love the most. theatre people are of a special breed. it takes a great artist to portray someone on the stage, to be someone they simply are not, while all the while maintaining them self in the mist of it all. what would i be without the people ive met in the darkness behind those curtains? most likely id be a bunch of nothing, really. there's that boy ive met that i'll always love, there are those girls i look up to, there are the people i go to for advice, there are the people that i eat lunch with, hang out with on the weekends, the ones i laugh at... i mean... with. the kids that i go to the cast parties with and chew gum and listen to rap and jump out of cars with... people that i love are of a special breed. a breed that comes from the pitch black, silent backstage, the crow's nest, the props room, stage.

Remember then were singing Carol of the Bells and I was yelling that it started on B flat cause they were so OBVIOUSLY off key? If no, ok. Oh, well.
