It's a sort of James Bond thing

Sorry I didn't blog last night, I didn't have a chance to get to the computer after the show. Shall we just try to say a lot and make this one for both today and yesterday, then?

Well, the show went really well, I guess. People laughed more than I expected, which is a good thing. Though one thing that always annoys me is that when we come out afterward from shows to meet the audience, hardly anyone ever wants to talk to me. I appreciate the people who do, but there are so many who just walk by and don't even look at me. Thanks for the acknowledgment, folks. Not like I put any effort into this production.

I am glad it's over, though. I need the free time again, at least until I have to start doing sound board stuff for the Moliere show. Frankly, I'm just exhausted with all the stuff that's been going on. We started this near the end of Urinetown, and so there wasn't any gap in between. And with a four-day weekend coming up, I think some R&R is in order pretty soon.

I saw geese yesterday at the pond. It was pretty cool. Seeing them up close like that, with them just looking on calmly... kind of a magic moment, you know?

Today I'm going Chansey hunting in HeartGold. I'm considering getting Pearl as well as SoulSilver, and I'm sort of going back and forth over whether I should use an all-female or mostly-female team. I really want to use Vespiquen, and I kind of like the idea of using Blissey... we'll see what happens. I intend to make a list of all the guys (or gals, I suppose) I want to use in-game someday, just so I always remember. Could do that today, I guess...

After the show last night, one of my friends invited me over and we played Left 4 Dead on the Xbox. I've read about the game but never played it before, and while Xbox isn't really my thing I have to admit I'm not too bad at it. And then we watched Clash of the Titans, which is an interesting movie, to say the least. Plus it has Claire Bloom. Yes, the Doctor's mother from The End of Time. Sheesh, people from Doctor Who are everywhere...

This first year of college is nearly over. Sheesh. What's up with that? Is this place secretly in a time bubble or something? Do I need to call the American branch of Torchwood in? Is there an American branch of Torchwood?

Last night I think my friends noticed that I've been reeling a bit lately with this whole girl issue, so I got some words of encouragement, which I appreciate... I wonder if you're reading this, guys? You seemed to notice that it's because she likes some other guy... I suppose there isn't much else to be depressed over, but still you got right to the heart of things.

I believe the words that got used were something along the lines of "she's making some poor choices right now... but give it a couple of weeks..." That's fine. I can wait. I'll be patient. So she's after a guy who's not any good for her and will probably make her miserable, so what? If I give up now it'll go against what I've come to believe in- if there's a wall in my way, I'll smash it down. If there isn't a path, I'll carve one out with my own hands. Things will work out this time. They have to work out. If I've been putting all my faith in the idea that hope and willpower can pull me through, and it doesn't happen... what do I have to believe in?

I'm putting it all on the line for the sake of someone I care about. I don't intend to get hurt this time.

...I just don't want her to get hurt either.
