Play and Potter

Okay, I finished two things yesterday: my play and the sixth Harry Potter book!!!

I really liked the play, it'll go down as one of my favorites, but I am glad it's over. I'm not much for hot rollers in my hair on really hot days, and I also want more quality time with my boyfriend. But I really did like the play, I really think I connected with Cherie (my character, for those who don't know).

Okay, for Harry Potter: LOVED IT!!! Oh, man, I was only able to put it down for the play and for part of the cast party afterwards. It came in the mail and I started reading it at two yesterday, and I finished at 3:30 this morning, so technically I finished it today. I counted the amount of time I was not reading the book, and figured out that it took me a solid seven hours to pound through that book. I'm not gonna give anything away, but oh, man, the last book I cared so much about the characters' well-being was Harry Potter #5. Oh, my gosh, I thought it was so good. Yes, there isn't nearly as much action as in, say, the fourth book with the triwizard tournament, but just wait until the end if you want a lot of action. That's all I'll say on the subject.

Sick... AGAIN

Okay, i got sick AGAIN yesterday (not the same thing, i mainly had upset stomach and a fever), and of course it was on opening night. I have no idea how well I did last night, but i got through without anyone comin' up to me afterwards and asking me what was wrong, so i must have done fine. Today i had a little party at my house, and luckily not too many people showed up, so it was a nice intimate thing. My mom was able to do most of the hosting, so I could just sit and listen to everyone talk. I wasn't really up to doing much more than that. I just felt a little weak today, and I couldn't stomach much. As the day went on, however, i managed to get some non-liquid food in me, and all of a sudden i got more energy (gee i wonder why). All in all, today was pretty good. Yeah, I couldn't eat much of the barbeque my mom cooked, but I think I did really well in the play, and my hair totally worked! It's the first day my hair has actually gone into a reasonably 50s hairstyle! That was nice. I think the coffee i have onstage helped, too; i was dancing backstage during intermission. I'm getting off thge audience high now, and i'm getting really tired again, but i might be able to stomach something, i hope. Sean's been so worried about me, and I've been worried about him worrying about me, but now that i'm getting better, we'll both be fine. I love him so much. But yeah, I've already written more than i expected to write, so i'm gonna go on that lovely sappy note.
