I must deviate from the typical topic, as I have unfortunate news.
Two days ago, I bought cherry chapstick. I figured my parched lips could use a relief from my busy new college life. And though some of my friends claimed it smelt like liquid Advil (to which my chapstick took much offense), I loved that chapstick. It was short, but our relationship blossomed.
So, today as I was rushing to get from rehearsal to rehearsal, naturally I reapplied it. This time, however, it was not meant to be, as it fell straight to the ground, ruined forever. My beautiful chapstick is now dead, in a trash can near my college's music hall. I didn't even get to name it. Shocked, I rushed to my next rehearsal only to find I wasn't needed.
RIP Chapstick. You were a great comfort in my hectic schedule of choir, classes, and musical theater.
You are my most recent sacrifice to the Gods of Theater, the Lords of Music, and the Ghosts of Hunger.
Can you tell I am going insane? Or is normal to feel so much sorrow about one mundane item? My schedule is definitely getting to me. Half of it is devoted to the arts, which is exactly what I wanted, but there is still so much I want to do. I guess constantly reapplying my chapstick represented one selfish moment where I could indulge myself, rather than worry about everyone getting the right harmonies. I guess I'll have to wait till I get Chapstick 2.0.
LOL. Melodramatic much? I wonder why I am like that...
Guess it comes with being a theater person.
Anyways, I am going to listen to the Prologue of Into the Woods while you contemplate what is wrong with me.
Today we gather to mourn the loss of a beloved...
ReplyDeleteLol that's so funny. I read your other posts btws and they were pretty good for a blog. Not that I've read that many but you know. Gratz on getting that lead understudy by the way.
Missing you!

Your tone of voice is hilarious! Even though you were only talking about chapstick for most of the entry, you made it funny and relevant to your life and theater. Can't wait to hear another entry!
ReplyDeleteYour making this blog really auto-bibliographical. I think it makes your posts feel personal.
ReplyDeleteYou can obviously turn anything into an epic! I laughed myself silly over your adventure with chapstick. Keep up the digressions into the daily trivia--you're a natural at writing about minutia in such a way that we read on. It's a gift.
