yep.... the play is done. like, we just had the last showing today. yep.... no more play..... lol yea, i cried during the end of it. like, for you people who've never been involved with a school play or anything, it's like nothing else.... the closest thing i can come up with is summer camp. I've made so many new friends through it, i've made some of the fondest memories I think I'll ever make, and now it's done. No more practices, no more rehersals, no more painting, no more showings, no more greeting the people as they leave... It's so wierd, because out of the entire cast, crew, and pit, there's not a single person i don't like.... everyone there is like a brother or sister... and now it's all over, and I know i won't see them all gathered together again in my entire life. it, um.... sucks.

Abby's mother gave me a big bottle of sparkling cranberry juce with a card on it. At first i thougtht it was like, real champaine, and i was like "woah!" but then i figured it out. We went to KJ's/ Billie's/ Shela's/ Kent's house after the last show. It was awsome there, they have so many cool things to do there.... they even have a hot tub. After that was done, Shela, Julie and Linette gave us all photos of ourselves in costume on the set, with really nice frames. Yea, i almost cried there too.

You know, to wrap it all up, i guess it dosen't have anything to do with beauty and the beast. I was talking to nick about this in the car... The subject about this being a story about a girl and a monster has nothing to do with the play.... What matters is that we all gave it our best, we made friends, we worked hard and we created something not for credit, not for points, but for the sake of creating an art that was enjoyed by an entire town. I love everyone who was involved with the play, and hold those memories among the closest ones in my heart.
