Dear Diary, Oh I miss writing every night! There's just no time right now. Les Mis seriously IS my life at the moment. And I don't even have it as bad as the cast! Although you have to admit that at the moment, the techies are WAY more stressed out. Tonight was "final dress" and they added about twelve things for us to do. We were, for lack of a better expression, "running around like chickens with our heads cut off." Lol! jk. Really, it wasn't that bad. I escaped with only minor injuries! My foot is bruised... poor Devin had something fall on his head... lol... oh and then there was that time the cord snapped and so I nearly dropped a grate on a girl's head.. or the time Andy almost crushed a little kid with the Grand Drape... or the time I was holding an extremely heavy table backstage and cast people were telling me they had to get past when it was obvious I had NO where to move it and nearly backed off the edge of the stage... I did fall off the stage once, that was exciting... and then there was the time the fog machine backfired and filled up the stage, hall, and orchestra pit with smoke... Les Mis has been very interesting! Stressful and depressing at times, but overall extremely entertaining... ALTHOUGH I would like to say that if I had NOT been at Les Mis tonight---I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A DATE WITH ERIC!!! That's dedication, let me tell you. Yeah, I stopped by Eric's house last night after Les Mis (which I got in trouble for, but was fun anyway!), and he asked me what I was doing tonight... because was thinking about asking me on a date... GOSH DANG IT ALL. Oh well. Sometime. Today was actually an extremely crappy day because Cassie and I had another ISSUE... Garrick sort of got fed up with her "sarcastically" insulting me all the time and started insulting her... So Cassie felt bad, I felt bad, and Garrick was mad. I know he wasn't being nice to her... but I still love him for sticking up for me. Because it really did hurt, even though she didn't mean it... I just hated hearing how stupid/slow/horrible I was, day after day after day... Somedays it seemed like all she did was insult me, and there wasn't anything I could do about it because she was "just joking." Sigh. But it's okay... She just took the sarcasm too far and didn't mean to hurt me... After being friends for seven years, you learn to get over these kind of things and move on... So life is kinda stressing me out right now, but you take the good with the bad and just do your best to enjoy it. And now I think I shall go listen to Fall Out Boy. Love, Lisa Ann
