i'm quite pleased to say that my weekend was both productive and social!
two in one, and not bored for a moment!

Friday nite, after the soccer dinner, Catherine and I wound up at dinner with Katie and Hannah and hannah's family and friends on our way to see a production of RENT downtown. Cat and I managed to get a hold of 2 front row dead center tickets. I had never seen the movie or the broadway, but took a chance because all of them ensured that i'd love it. It was fabulous, and i dislike musicals, very moving, exhilirating and impressive. The dancing, the set desgin, the costumes were all fabulous and made me wish, once again, that i was in the city... or atleast college. Plus i'm now "in love" with Jared Stein, the conductor/director of music/first keyboard player for the cast and crew of Rent who is both talented and beautiful sporting a wonderful rendition of a mowhawk fowhawk i so dearly wish to see on my very own scalp one day.

I get such a rush of butterflies when i'm around talented youth. We were waiting for Cat and Katie to get out of the bathroom and we were near the stage exit door and all of the performers were coming through, all normal people (not celebrities, its their job and their just naturally talented) and though i dont approach them, when they leave i'm sad... i wished to associate with them and socialize, i don't know why but when ever i meet such talents, or walk by them after concerts or shows, i'm drawn to them. Even when i saw the guitar player for the music and the rest of the music crew walking down the same street as us, when they turned the corner and we didnt got dissapointed. I guess i'd hoped they'd meet up with us and realize we're interesting too and we'd be friends.

wow i'm pathetic.

So saturday, after a pathetic loss at a soccer game (somewhat prodcutive), I finally got to have a drum lesson after five weeks, cam wasn't mad at me, and I found a new method of learning fills so that i dont draw blanks when i start up a rhythm. So now i have three new fills i can throw around the set.
Speaking of drums, i found a buyer for my saxaphone and will be using the cash to buy a drum kit of my own sometime soon.

Oh, i also FINALLY, found train tickets and times for May when i visit marycate and i'm extremely excited and anxious cause it's been months... i think 5.

Back to saturday... so i thought i'd branch out and try and make new friends so i went out to dinner with Cat and her friend Ali, who i've known but have never made attempts to be friends. Then we went to the Tatnall musical... which was also impressive and talented but long... but i got to see the clint and bill and ali t. and spencey and kacey and so that was nice i felt very social like a regular teenager.

Today was more of the productivity though i do believe the finally setting out to sell my sax and bid on drum kits on ebay and get trian tickets to va are all quite productive. Today i babysat... for 3 hours... with a 3 year old... and did work.
