Mersopolis

Well, I'm tired. Third night on Saturday for Music Man was decent, probably our worst night of all, but still very good.

But tonight though, Closing Night, we did wonderful. We almost had a full house!
We wrapped everything up, cleaned up all the set, costumes, props, and now we are all ready to die in our beds.

Well then. Doesn't sound good. You can't enforce a law that well enough to accomplish what they're trying to do.

Anyway, night two was even better than Opening Night! We all did wonderful, received much praise, and everything was swell!

Opening Night of Music Man was a great success! The crowd was quite large. 

We performed the best that we had ever done. However that could be a bad thing. It means that's we either broke past our wall that was holding us back or we used up everything we had, that night.

OPENING NIGHT OF MUSIC MAN IS TOMORROW! EEEEEEEE!

Today was the longest day for Music Man rehearsals.

Things are coming together nicely and OH GOODNESS WE PERFORM ON THURSDAY!

This is happening on Friday the 13th. I wonder if that was on purpose.

Just today in Government class, we watched a documentary about what things are like in North Korea.

My goodness, what a terrible place.

Statistically, I think you will be okay for a while.

​By making sure that I never needed a phone. Until recently, I had done a very good job of that.

I have joined the century. I now have a cellular telephone. My very first. I'm charging it up now.

And then you show that video. I only saw the first three minutes so far, but I'm starting to feel ever so slightly worse about this.

Ooh. I like the double-bladed HHHH.

Now recreate the moment in the first Star Wars VII trailer where we see Kylo Ren's lightsaber, only it is HHHHs.

Today's been a long day, but a good day. We set up the dance, participated in it, and took it down all today. Everyone had a great time. My date and I were the last couple dancing on the floor.

In other news, I learned that our production of Almost, Maine from last year was recorded by the city network and put on Youtube.

In it you will find, in order of appearance: My date (Scene 2: Her Heat), the first girl I kissed (Scene 6: They Fell), Me (Scene 7: Where it Went), and my date for Homecoming a while back (Scene 8: Story of Hope).

It's strange watching it. Almost half of the people in the show are graduated, and two of the girls are engaged.

Just got back from a group date with my date for Masquerade. It is to replace the traditional day date normally done on the day of the dance, but before it. However, since half of us will be spending all day tomorrow setting up the dance, we moved the date back.

It was very fun: We went to a boy scout camp to walk along a haunted trail they set up. My friends were amused when I casually spoke/joked with the people after/as they did their routines.
For example:
Lunatic in straitjacket: "No! NOOOO!! I don't wanna be a platypus! I don't WANT to be a platypus! I DON'T WANT TO BE A PLATYPUS! I want to be a unicorn!"
Me: "Believe in yourself, and you will achieve your goals!"
"Fred knows you!"
"Fred! I know him! He's a swell guy."
"George does, too!"
"Isn't George dead?"
"Fred killed him!"
"Wasn't it the evil wizards?"
"No, it was Fred!"

We even met a guy that we knew from school, working on the trail in a mask. I was a bit off put when he referred to me by name as we were walking away from him, but then we found out who he was and had a short conversation, then moved on.
Afterwards, we had ice cream. All was well. I am happy.

Hi. I've been here long enough to see you sometimes, but haven't done much with you. You probably don't know me very well. In that case:

ATTEND THE TALE OF MERSOPOLIS - A THESPIAN WHO GOT HIS FIRST KISS - I HAVE A LIFE AND IT'S GOING WELL - THOUGH OTHER THAN THAT THERE'S NOT MUCH TO TELL - HIS LIFE MAY BE QUITE FAR FROM BLISS - YES, MERSOPOLIS - THE ALMOST ORD'NARY ACTOR

Well dang.

I almost feel bad for wanting to share that I am getting my first phone.

Condolences, friend.

WEBM? WITCHCRAFT!

I tried it. Looking good so far, and I know it's just a prototype but the lack of diagonal movement is such a PAIN!

Ain't got time for research these days... Heck, I barely have time to make any transactions before the markets close. I don't know what I'll do.

I'm taking an Economics class in school. As part of it, I must participate in the Stock Market Game.

I was hoping to pour as much as I could into Disney, expecting good things to come from Episode VII, but sadly, the game ends the day before it opens.

Luckily, EA's Battlefront is launched in November. Things are looking good for them.

Any suggestions?

Four pokers enjoying a heavy.

​Girl 1 finally got around to asking me to Masquerade. It was a simple invitation, she left a large tub of movie theater popcorn at my house with the message, "Now that I've BUTTERED you up, I'll POP the question: Will you go to Masquerade with me?". I never actually saw her, my brother brought it to me in my room.
Of course, I'm accepting it. But now I wonder if I should give her a gift with my response. We recently bought a small box of fortune cookies that have given me ideas...

But thinking about the actual dance: It's on Halloween and the theme is "The Walking Dead." Any brilliant ideas, subSPUF? I don't have any costumes on hand except one: The jedi cloak and pseudo-robe I wore last year.
