OOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMFFFFFFFFFFFFFFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!

Elicia, I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No...kidding actually, but I'm still mad at you!

Ok, I think I said that enough for the both of us... When she dropped me off at home though I did tell her I did not really hate her, it just made me feel better...she said the same...and that we'd both be saying it A LOT more....

WWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

You may ask, are they saying this?

Well, remember when I talked about the director for Radio TBS wanting Elicia to be IN the play?

Well, when we got there...the director kinda made it as if Elicia WAS in the play, Elicia even read the part....

WELL, BEFORE we read...as people were showing up...I was informed that there was a part right up my alley....GREAT!!! The girl is about...err....The script says "late teens" like 18-23 it says. Well...The character description for this character is as follows: Pauline's rather large daughter who isn't particularly concerned with anything. Late teens.
So, the director asked me to read that part....

Meanwhile Elicia and I are sitting there trying to write down all the dates we have conflicting....(Keeping in mind that we are also stage managing The Crucible.)

And...we were SUPPOSED to be stage managing this play too...Same as Crucible Elicia-SM and Me-ASM.....

I could tell Elicia half heartedly wanted to do it....and while the director was pushing me to be in the play....Elicia says, "Well...I'll do it...if YOU do it..."

But by then everyone was there and we began the read-around.

Well, after we read the parts the director just "went with the flow" assuming E and I had taken the parts....(Thanks E, again, I hate you!)

Turns out...I play somewhat-of a larger girl....and I have to wear a "fat suit".....I have to be about....300-400 lbs! Or at least look that way....

Gee, now THERE'S a confidence booster....

Oh, and if the fat suit is not bad enough... EVERY scene I am in I have to be eating....the first scene I have a HUGE bowl of cereal that I have to eat, the 2nd scene I am lounging while eating a rather large amount of M'n'M's....and during the group nativity scene...I pull out a candy bar....and when I finish that I pull a bag of chips out of my robes......

I guess all the weight I am loosing for the Crucible will be gained right back? But E and I decided that I can buy candy bars and just use the wrapper, I can put granola bars or those diet power bars in the candy wrappers.

....Oh lord....what have I gotten myself into....

I did say that Elicia is in this play as well?

Yea, I think I did....

So, now we are co-stage managers AND in the play....

Mike was giving her a hard time on the way home...I don't know what he said exactly, but from what E was responding, he was poking fun at her being a techie-actor crossover...and then he joked about neither of us being able to "Cross back over."

And then he asked E to drive by their house and roll down the window so he could throw pizza at me.... LOL, I guess maybe I didn't talk about THAT...

Last night at the arts market we kinda got into a pizza/ice fight.... Yea...'nuff said.

So, as for my title...a "Valium Drive" kidding about the drive....but not as far as needing it....

Elicia freaks out when going onstage as herself to talk to the audience before the show....and when I got up in class to do part of Carole's Laughing Wild monologue, I seriously almost had a panic attack.....I though my heart would beat out of my chest....and I forgot the order and most of the lines...lucky for me the people there had no clue as none of them had read or seen the play.

Well....school starts next week and I should probably learn my lines NOW when I have no homework.....

More later!

Techie who has.....CROSSED OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
