magictreehouseWell this week has mostly been consumed by theatre stuff as our play, 'Inspector Drake and the Perfekt Crime' is on all this week. Opening night was quite scary but it went (almost) flawlessly so I was pretty pleased about that. Last night was the third night and James and his Mum came to see. james was very impressed that The X-Files theme got a play :D Luckily, it was the best night so far. The audience were really into it as well, they were just so willing to have a good time :D Plus, my sound effects were getting laughs which was very pleasing. I think I was a bit tired though. I was getting a little irritated by people's unprofessionalism. Especially Fatty and Nazi Anne (who James had the pleasure of sitting next too) who still don't realised that people are giving up their spare time to do this play, and that they *do not* rule the roost, swanning in right at the end of the rehearsals rather being there from the start like most of us have. Nazi Anne was properly flapping about yesterday too as there was a heavy rain shower which the grid outside the door couldn't take so she came upstairs when we were having a break and was having a DRAMA moment. Martin, in his usual subtle way just said, 'why don't you climb out?' which went down like a lead balloon apart from me who was giggling away in the background.
Feedback was good from James and his Mum though. I think it's better than the last one and funny too. It is nice making people laugh. My Mum and sister are coming up to see it on Saturday too which will be good I hope. Still, the next play is October and I doubt I'll be able to do that one. I'm not sure I'd want to really. Sound and lighting is quite dull work rehearsal-wise and it's a lot of time to give (not that I don't enjoy it). Plus with my course (which I've still not heard about yet :s), the fact that I'd like my life back and the anti-socialness of it (I'm on the bridge all the time so it's not always conducive to actually talking to people) means that I don't really get enough out of it. Ideally I'd like to give maybe two nights a week at most and really meet people. Or - actually be in the play! Maybe :s
Part of me just wonders - is it me? I know I've said that before but people's observations of my behaviour is being rather telling of late. In the past few weeks I've had myself desribed as 'quiet' at work and the fact that I 'don't half get through some books', and at theatre Tom said to me that he assumed that I always had a train to catch after rehearsal as I always dash off and never go to the pub afterwards. The work situation - well anyone that really knows me that when I'm really myself I'm not that quiet a person. I mean, how many times did I get shushed while I was at the library? They couldn't shut me up! And at theatre, well it takes so much of my time and I have to go to bed quiet early due to work that I rush home just to have half an hour to myself occasionally. Things like that make me feel like I'm not making enough effort. It's circumstance I know but at the same time, do I really do myself any favours?
New lady started at work on monday and I got roped into giving her a tour which I was terrified about. Mainly because I really don't know that many people (I've been here nearly six months!). It was alright in the end though because hardly anyone was about. The worst one was the library, which I'm always bitter about when I go in anyway for obvious reasons, but I actually had to go in and say, 'sorry I don't know any of your names'! Oh well, three months until MSc (I hope! Oh why haven't I heard from them yet?! Yes, I know it's only been ten days but still!)
