Confliction and Confusion

Wednesday night I went to bible study after rehearsal, and we talked about how people hurt us and what we can do to...I don't know...forgive and pray for them.
It really got me thinking about Pops concert and Mrs. Southwick. I'm kinda sick of carrying around this resentment towards her, and I don't want the likes of her prohibiting me from doing the stuff I love (namely making a performance be as amazing as it can be.) I'm just not sure though...What if what happened at rarities happens again? Does the risk of Mrs. Southwick outweigh the love I have for tech?

Last night was opening night...it was kinda rough, we had some miscommunication between the booth and backstage, and there were some technical difficulties with the set, but we survived. After, we went to perkins and came up with two of the best quotes ever "Who needs a condom when you have a belly button?" and "I'll have your finest blueberry muffin please" I love going to perkins after shows SO much, but I hate going to school the next morning, it's so tiring!

Tonight was also interesting. We had major drama in the dressing rooms. Lytle for reasons unknown got all pissy at us for our preshow rituals, threatening to make them stop because they "get us out of character" We were so upset we had to call Aric to come and give us a pep talk, since he's amazing at those. Then people were at each other's throats and I seriously yelled out in the makeup room "Can we at least TRY to get along tonight? There's already enough conflict, we're never gonna survive unless we are a united front!" We did our rituals with more fire and passion than we've ever done them...and I think it really brought us together, albeit we were being brought together by our disgust with Lytle.

Goddamn I'm gonna miss my girls next year...Katy, Angela, Rachel, Kerry, Jett, Chelsea...they're the sweetest things ever. During vaginas it made me so sad to think about leaving them! I'm going to be a wreck at the show tomorrow (or is it today now, since it's past midnight?)

Oh, and there was some other issues tonight too, like the headsets doing weird things and the works and electrics swaying like they were going to fall at any moment. I think Sparky was pissed off on our behalf, which is nice to think about, but couldn't he take out his frustration in a less...freaky way? Another theory we had was that he was feeding off of our negative energy we were giving off because of our frustration with Lytle.

Well anyways, I'm going to go get some shuteye, fare thee well gentle reader
