I will totally admit I'm a huge geek. I love books, board games, being silly most of the time. And most of the time I prefer to be home with friends instead of out at a bar. It's just more comfortable for me. And as someone who wholly appreciates a good pair of flats, clearly I care about my comfort.
But I completely geek out about theater. The first time I went to NYC, I saw three shows in a day and a half. [Phantom of the Opera, Rent, and Mamma Mia.] And of course I thought Roger from Rent was going to see me in the second row and realize he lived me and ask me to stay and we'd love each other and spend our New York days passing strangers on the sidewalk and our nights discussing the strangeness and comfort found in New York strangers. But we didn't fall in love. I fell in love with the theater even more than before. I love Les Mis on stage. I took acting lessons as a child which I'm certain just led to my over dramatic flourish in life. But there's something amazing and beautiful in a stage play that movies can't capture. The raw emotion of no outtakes just takes over me. I've seen Wicked in the West End and traveling to Dallas. I saw my Degrassi crush in Spring Awakening. I saw Spamalot. The lion King on Broadway. Gypsy. Next to Normal. I want to take them all in, all the time.
But for now I'll settle for my own dramatics and Les Mis with my lovely parents for Christmas Eve eve. I'm such a lucky girl.
