15 hour days away from home are kicking my ass... Sept. 22nd, 2006

So, I am doing this play.  Which is a combination of three One Acts by Thornton Wilder.  My director is Tony Noize, and he definitely knows what he wants out of this artistic endeavor of his.  I have a part in all of the One Acts.  So for every performance I will be on stage the entire time.  Out of the seven actors/actresses on stage I am the only one who doesn't get to leave the stage for a break.  So I really have to know all my lines by Oct. 20th.  I am not saying I am the star of the performance.  Everyone knows I have an ego, but whenever I am doing movies and theatre, I know I am an equal part in the play.  It keeps me grounded to not think I am better than anyone else.  Even if I have more experience than some of the cast, I know they can do it.  I know this business is based upon looks and character.  It is also who you know, and I don't like that, so I am going to stand in this crowd and try not to jump out into the front of the stage.  But the 15 hour days are killing me.  I leave for school around this time every morning, I should have left already, but then I go to work after class, then I go to rehearsal.  We have Fridays off of rehearsal, but I have to go back tomorrow afternoon.  Well, four days a week are a lot to handle for 15 hour days.  I am not complaining, even though I was earlier in the week, now I am just venting and coming to realize that I really want this, so I will go to any lengths to accomplish a great performance for my three characters, as for the rest of play and the rest of the actors, I don't know, I have to nail my parts, and I hope they are thinking the same way for themselves.  Anyway, I am tired, and I know some people have sent me messages that I haven't been able to return, but I appreciate the 'staying in touch.'  Well, Zeppelin is on, and one last thing I have to say:
"Over the Hills and Far Away"
Hey Lady, You Got The Love I Need;
Maybe more than enough
Oh darlin darlin darlin walk a while with me
Oh you got so much so much so much
Many have I loved and many times been bitten
Many times I gazed upon the open road
Many times I lied and many times I've listened
Many times I wondered how much there is to know
Many dreams come true and some have silver linings.
I live for my dreams and a pocket full of gold
Mellow is a man who knows what he's been missing
Many many men can't see my open road
Many is the word that only leaves you guessin
guessing about the things you really oughta know
you oughta know
I really oughta know
oh
You know I should You know I should You know I should

Well off to school I go...
Thanks for stopping by:
