ceebeegeeUnh. Very tired. I crashed at Duncan's & Chris's after Mike's party and woke up this morning, without having slept enough. Took the bus home, got all dolled up for the audition, took the bus back to Hoboken, did the audition, took the bus back again to the city, and went to rehearsal. Exhausted. After rehearsal, staggered back home and slept for two hours. Then woke up, staggered down the street and got stuff to make nachos. Feel better.
Mike's party was lots of fun. I mostly talked to people I already knew--Chris massaged my back and head for a long time (((Chris))), and Paula and I talked with Rachel about shows, Debaun, a bunch of things. I was a little giddy, perhaps as a reaction to the intense cold, a sort of whistling in the dark thing, and also because of my appearance in Photographic magazine (see below). I didn't get a chance to talk much to Mike or Heidi until the end. Heidi was saying some very nice things about my Shakespeare showcase and other stuff I've done. I lovelovelove knowing I've reached someone--art is about communication, and making that connection sends me through the roof.
I'm nakedly abstract in the current issue of Photographic magazine! They have a photo contest every month with different themes, and Jordan sent in a photo of me which was one of the winners! I'm in a magazine, I am so cooool...
The audition went pretty well. Not perfectly but I felt pretty good about it. I sang "Waiting for Life" (which, it occurred to me just then, was also written by Flaherty and Ahrens--duh, Clara!) and "My White Knight." I probably could've focused a bit more but...it went pretty well. Dave complimented me on my work with Jason--he said Jason had never been so confident at an audition. Yay! Lisa Pierce was there and we joked about Lisa singing "Caught with a Dildo" as her uptempo. But yeah, I have hella conflicts. I can't make it to callbacks, I can't be there weekdays until 9:00 pm. *Shrug* What are ya gonna do? There'll be other productions of Ragtime.
Peter is coming to the show Sunday.
I want--I need to have an underwear party next month. Lots of skimpily dressed bodies frolicking about with drinks. Yum.

I'm considering the underwear party. I of course have terrible body issues (I wear pants throughout summer if I can), and this would be good for me, though it would also be rather terrifying. I think I will counter the fear with silly underwear. YES!
