( Things I Heard and Learnt at Rehearsal )

Logic can no longer be trusted.

Let's say a=1, b=1.

a - b = a - b
asquared - bsquared = a - b - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (Because 1squared is still 1)
(a + b)(a - b) = (a - b)- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (Because I remember how to FOIL)
(a + b) = 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (Because I divided a-b from both side)
(1 + 1) = 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (Because we said a=1, b=1)
2 = 1

Therefore logic can no longer be trusted, because we just proved that 2 = 1.



PS: Is that not awesome or what!

Thank God.

Harry can dance.

All is forgiven.

So here's the thing.

I had rehearsal today, for The Princess and the Pea. As Princess Marie, I have a duet with Emil, played by Harry, dear, dear, twice my age Harry.

Trl said that the first rehearsal she had with him when she was Princess Marie...he was creepy. I wasn't there, I don't know if he was just fooling around or if he has secret stalker tendencies that began to show.

Tonight, almost as soon as I arrived, when we were waiting outside the main room, he came and sat beside me. First off, he said 'hey, doll' and I looked around to see who he was talking to. That in itself wasn't particularly creepy, just unexpected. He'd been given the music to our duet, That Face (The Producers), and showed it to me. We started talking about our week, and I realized just how much of a freak he is. On his days off, he runs. For miles. With no one chasing him. Compared to me, who only has a decent lung capacity thanks to my work as a soprano, who wouldn't be caught dead running without an urgent reason, who is thin due to genetics alone, he really is the ultimate freak (and I say he is, because it couldn't possibly be me...).

I told him about my meetings, in which I spent six hours today. I felt a little odd, I'm not uncomfortable with him, but he's more than twice my age and he's playing my love interest. More than twice. Twice with extra. He's closer to my Dad's age than mine. I'm closer to his daughter's--that's right, his daughter's--age than his. And yet, with the right make-up and costumes, we should look like a perfectly normal couple in love on stage.

He smokes. I found that out. We did a couple songs with the chorus and then they all left and it was only a few soloists that had to stay, including us. Sam, darling that she is, stayed too because she wanted to listen to us and then mock Harry. We had quite a break between when we stopped working on general songs and our solo song came up, and during that break, he really wanted a smoke. So he went out and bought some. And then he realized that he didn't have a lighter. So he went out and bought one, and then lit up outside.

To me, smoking is pretty repulsive. It's stinky, and as a singer (and a freak athlete), he definitely should not be smoking. So I told him in no uncertain terms (but, you know, with a punchline or two because he's still my friend) that I would not be going anywhere near him--especially not on stage, screw choreography--if it meant breathing in smoke. He them told me, in very kind, earnest words, that he rarely smoked, not more than once or twice a week, and that he carried cologne in his car just for a situation like this.

So I felt sorta bad that my words had been harsh, even if they'd been said flippantly.

We stayed outside talking with him--the others had gone home except for the few that were currently rehearsing inside--and Sam made a random comment about age. She mentioned that Harry is almost twice her age.

"Dude, he's more than double mine." I deadpanned. Of course, it took me a second to realize that Harry might not appreciate that comment. Man, I am not good at this.

We remained cheerful anyway--Harry didn't seem fazed but it's hard to tell with him because I honestly don't know him that well, even though we've done another show together.

Earlier, I had mentioned how odd our last rehearsal had been. I'd wanted to hint at the potential awkwardness, especially since I'm sure he's feeling it too, and I figured it would be less awkward if it was out in the open. At the last rehearsal, our director had gone over one of Emil's speeches, where he essentially lists all the wonderful qualities that Marie possesses. The director had tried to inspire him, although I didn't think he needed inspiration, he was doing a fine job already, by making him imagine me, long to see me again, long for my company yadda yadda. But he kept referring to me by my real name.

No, no, no.

Harry does not ogle me. Harry does not long for me. Harry does not dream about me. Emil, however, does do so for Marie. It's important to differentiate there, it keeps awkwardness to a minimum and there's enough awkwardness already. At one point, Harry corrected him by reminding him that I'm Marie, and the director looking at me confused and then back at Harry and said, "Yeah, I know." Duh.

Apparently, he hadn't gotten that Harry wanted to differentiate too.

It is awkward, it's probably only going to get more awkward when we start choreography and we're instructed to 'stare longingly' at one another. No really, that's in the script.

Coming from someone that doesn't want to get married, doesn't want to have kids, and isn't particularly interested dating at this stage in my life and therefore doesn't have a lot of experience with dating, it's going to feel weird. Especially since in the span of two hours, we go from a few precious glances to getting hitched (although not knocked up, too many kids in the audience).

Yeah, AWK-ward.

...

I doesn't help that when Trl was Princess Marie, I mocked her for having to snuggle up with Emil/Harry.

...

And at the end, at the wedding, we kiss.

And my parents are going to come. And my grandparents. And at least two teachers.

I really hope this goes well.

So that's the thing.

Two guys in the States got arrested and charged with vandalism after they fixed spelling errors on private and government signs.

My opinion? Hats off to you, nameless men, you make vigilantes look good, and typo-free.

It's not a monument if it's a monuement.

Boy, am I organized.

My YACOS and YPOS binder has colour-coded dividers, I have copies of all sorts of random papers from random meetings that are now categorized and labelled.

I sent emails out to YPOS and G&S people about Children of Eden, and then emailed Mnf about it. I emailed KC with questions, and translated a slew of legal regulations and guidelines into one page of normal speak that's half as intimidating and just as informative.

Of course, I only did all this because I was procrasting about doing something else.

...yeah, I probably should get writing. My real writing, my writing that I want published some day, my writing that I really need to work on before September comes and my schedule goes to hell.

...or I could post on livejournal! I also need to read and print a copy of the Society Act, change my signature on hotmail and look up several companies to see their policies on sponsorships. I think I'll do that first :)

So, let me tell you: getting lost? Time well spent, my friend, time well spent.

The other day, Smth and I went to go see Taming of the Shrew, since two of our friends are in it and another is the producer. It should have taken us about an hour and ten minutes or so to get there.

We ended up taking two and a half.

Smth had googled the directions, and they were really bad directions, they had us on the highway, and then the freeway, and if we'd only gone straight and kept it simple, we would have been fine.

As it were, we took a wrong exit, and since both of us are directionally-challenged, boy was that a blast! I kept calm and cheerful since we had plenty of time and Smth was sorta stressed so I tried to keep things light.

I called home for directions, but that wasn't much use since we didn't know where we were. Then we asked two different people for directions, but that didn't actually help since they gave us conflicting answers.

Personally, I had fun. Ema eventually called me and she gave good directions and used small words.

When we got to the park (which we did eventually get to, an hour and a half later than planned), Grg was there too, so we sat with him and watched the show. It was fun, I knew most of Kate's lines, and our friend played Lucentio so we called him a man-tart.

The way home was fun too, we took the mini-ferry. It had ocurred to Smth during the final act of Shrew (in the middle of the soliliquay, which I had been enjoying) that, gee, did I know when the ferry stopped for the night?

Oops.

Luckily, the ferry didn't stop for another few hours, so all was well that ends well. We did however spend ten minutes waiting for it to come wondering if it really was open or if we were wasting time waiting for a ferry that wasn't running.

It was fun being with Smth again, we haven't really hung out since Iolanthe (it ocurred to me that I never wrote about Iolanthe. I could write something but...there's a lot to write, and honestly, that's a show I'm going to remember.) and we're so similar that we always have a hoot of a time.

For some reason, I'm no longer getting email notifications whenever someone responds to my posts or comments. If I don't start getting them again soon, I'll make another account, but for now I'll try to wait it out. So I'm not ignoring you. I'm simply oblivious to your presence.

Half of women and ten percent of men have arachnophobia (fear of spiders).

Mosquitos are attracted to the colour blue more than any other colour.

You spend on average two weeks of your entire life kissing.
