Dakota

I was gone for a while and I have returned (obviously).
I went to South Jersey to stay with my father and step-mother for Easter break and all was generally well and good... I really wish I was extremely enthusastic to share with you what I did...
I saw Jillian again, which was excellent to because I miss seeing her, and hadn't since July. We talked, moped about, she teased me at being a whore on the Dent (nods towards Logan, Brandon, and new boy Matt - although I'm in no stance to say I'm even interested in pursuing Matt on any level other than friendly; he seems to agree), and stuff and stuff and stuff. It was really nice to see her again.
Dad and Michele (step-mother) saw Hedwig... I had Dad quoting it by the end of my stay and I made him a copy of the lyrics to "The Origin of Love"... He seemed to really respond well to it.
I think I'm going to Iceland. More on that another time.
Saw Death to Smoochy, which was enjoyable as well.
Sorry if I seem really glazed with all of this.
In any case, I'm back and had a fabulous time at Rocky this past week. It was Hat Pick Night; check the cast:
Willow as Eddie, Gamsby as Dr. Scott, Larry as Trixie, Danielle as Rocky, Allyson as Riff Raff, Angelo as Janet, Nate as Magenta, Sean as Criminologist, Wednesday as Brad, Chad as Columbia, George as Frank. Transies: Genevieve, Larry, Mike of the Kids, Jason. Tech: Gary, Erin, and Marc. Lights: Jen.
Yes... I got fucking Frank! I was extremely nervous - this is a role I've wanted for a long time and somehow I managed to get it... Wow... "Sweet Transvestite" proved that once I'm in heels, I should keep walking in them. I stumbled only once (sorta, kinda... I'm probably the only one who noticed it) and it was when I finally reached the throne and stopped moving my feet. I borrowed almost everything from Sean...
As for the other roles, Danielle made a fine Rocky, Willow an adorable Eddie, Allyson an excellent Riff Raff, Angelo a terrifying Janet... I really can't comment on too much of the other performances... I realize that when Frank's on stage, it's usually all about him. You just sort of don't pay attention to much anyone else that you're not immedately interacting with. At least this is how it was for me, and it was my first time, so who can say.
I received many compliments... I can honestly say my worst scene was Lab, simply because the audience was so fucking loud that I couldn't hear my ques, so it was mostly "mumble mumble mumble... tonight is the night... mumble mumble mumble... on the sonic ocelator..." Ack! :)
There were some rough spots. Nate seemed to be unpleased with his getting Magenta. He got it last year but on stage, he seemed ok. Nate is usually able to capably hide his contempt on stage. It's everywhere else that he blows up. He did not talk to me at all that night. We were the last two picked for Magenta and Frank. I was selected for Frank, therefore I must've been the bad guy.
Jason stormed off stage after getting Transie and did not so much refuse to play the role as to flat out disappear into the back row and occasionally get into the way on the stairs. I know he hates the role, but I found it extremely childish and above all disrespectful to the cast.
The CFR held court in the diner after the show.
At the meeting today, we discussed several things, particularly Jason's behaviour last night and Idiotboy's possible return to the theatre. By vote (6 to 5), he shall not be allowed back in the theatre after breaking the no-sex rule. For those just tuning in, yes, Idiotboy had sex in the theatre during "I'm Going Home" some time ago. After being banished, he duped people into thinking he was allowed in when Larry was not there last week and saw the show. He's gone now. He's not allowed in under any circumstances. I know he's a friend of Erin, but even she agreed he shouldn't be allowed back.
Danielle had something of an emotional breakdown before and after the meeting today. I can be there only in ways that I am currently (primarially as an ear and a shoulder; not a time where my opinions should at all enter in - this is her dilemna and only she can figure her way out. Whenever that may be.) It's extremely difficult to internally bitch about my own greivances when Danielle's world is falling apart like she visions it is. I wish her solace. And space from her father. It's gone to a point where apparently his presence alone is slowly burning her skin off. He needs to go away.
School's tomorrow.
Guess if I want to go back.
