I really, really need to wash my hair today. It is disgusting. Hygeine is another thing that goes. I (generally) still make sure I am clean and not too gross if I am going anywhere, but when I am just going to be at home I can't be bothered, so I don't. But I must go and have a shower and wash my hair because I have a Carousel rehearsal tonight, which means leaving the house and seeing people, and they would all run away screaming if they saw (smelt?) me like this. Not actually wanting to go to rehearsal, which is unfortunate as I have 3 this week. On the plus side, I was looking through the schedule, and I only seem to be called at 12 rehearsals before the show, so by the end of this week that will be a quarter of them out the way. Huzzah! Originally I was going to be in the ensemble for Act 1, as my character is only on for the second half of Act 2, but I pulled out of that (there were all these rehearsals I couldn't be bothered to go to, and so I blamed my voice problems as they still existed at the time) and so everyone else has been rehearsing 3 times a week for the last 2 months, but not me. I feel like I should want to be doing more, and look forward to rehearsals, but at the moment they just feel like a necessary evil. I am a little bit worried also because my part is a dance part to a large extent - there is a 10 minute ballet scene, and the first few minutes are solo me, then there are a couple of minutes of ensemble stuff, and then the last half is a pas de deux between me and another guy. Which is fine, but I am worried he won't be able to lift me - I am too heavy for anyone to have to try and lift. And we will be learning that for the first time tonight, and I just feel really embarrassed because I am going to be too heavy and he won't be able to lift me and I will ruin the whole thing.
I am tired. I don't seem to be sleeping very well. I was going to get up and get straight in the shower, but the motivation to do that has disappeared. Actually, it was probably never really there or I wouldn't have sat down to write this. Later. I will do Important Things now. Like check Facebook. Maybe go back to sleep. Sleep would be good. Shower later.
Good luck at rehearsal! I hope you have a good time.

Hope you got some sleep Bip.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about being distracted at the moment it's how I feel. Knowing things need doing or wanting to do things but lacking motivation.

I hope you get some sleep and that rehersal goes okay for you. I have had the restlessness over the last few days where I can't seem to sit for long or do anything for long without getting borre or tired. I hope we both feel better soon.
ReplyDeletegood luck at rehearsal!! where do you do all ur performing? is it an am dram group or something? sounds awesome!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone.
ReplyDeleteVarious places - the 1 Act play I did earlier in the year was with one group, and then also entered into a 1 Act play festival. The Shakespeare was with another group, who just do open air Shakespeare every summer. Carousel is with another group, different town. And the concert is something completely different, and not amateur.
