It's a bit rantish. Be prepared.

So my plans for the day changed on me. Weird how that happens huh? It’s kind of ok though. Gives me time to do some other things instead. :) I just hope that tomorrow’s plans don’t change. That would make me super sad. :( Had a really super good dream last night. Made me smile. Woke up feeling great and, surprisingly, i still have a voice. After all the screaming I did at the show last night I thought for sure it would be gone this morning. I never quite realized just how rude people can actually be to each other. There was a problem with the seating in the balcony which is where myself and two of my friends were assigned to usher. You must understand none of us have ever done that before. People were getting mad because the seats were double booked in some places and were getting frustrated with the ushers for it. Some people were even yelling at a 13 year old girl over it. I mean really?! What’s up with that? And the poor performers. They were amazing despite the rude comments of the audience. Those of us in the audience that understood what the performers were going through screamed twice as loud as we normally do to back up the actors. Some members of the audience had enough nerve to tell performers how to do their jobs. There were some technical difficulties and so the show had an early intermission to try to correct them. It shocked me to see so many people just walk right out the door and not come back. They hadn’t even gotten to the best part of the show yet. My friends and I strategically placed ourselves so that we could see the whole stage and screamed our heads off every time we felt it was necessary. By the end of the night we all had sore throats and when we went to meet the performers after the show some of the ones we know said to us, “Scream much?” so we know they heard us. I went backstage after the audience had left and a few of the other performers mentioned to me that they appreciated our enthusiasm. So I know we were heard. Most audiences don’t realize how much their energy affects the way the actors feel. If an audience is having a good time and interacts with the performance in a positive way then the actors feel that and want to make it an even better performance. But if the audience is dead and has no response to anything, it makes the actors feel like they aren’t doing as well and the show tends to have problems. So for the actors who noticed my friends and I screaming, I’m glad we could give them a positive boost in the midst of so much negativity. 

Now, on to what to do today. I’m thinking I’m supposed to get together with my friend to do some homework. We’ll be doing that over the internet. :) Loads of fun there. Not quite sure what else will be happening today. Might ask if I can go riding. Haven’t done that in ages. Hope I haven’t forgotten what I learned last time I was there. I think I’m done ranting for now. Have a great day.

Feel loved and safe.
