totally amazing, simply unforgettable, truly wonderful
the toil and grind of the last couple of months has finally materialised into one truly memorable weekend of performances. its given me beautiful memories of love, plenty of laughter and laid the foundations for some long lasting friendships with my fellow parishoners.
at least going to church will finally feel more like going home these days.
from the make up ladies, to the stage crew, to the lights people, to our mic folks, madam director, monseiour producer, the cast and everyone who made it possible. thank you thank you thank you.
of course whenever something like this comes to a close you're relieved at the fact you'll never have to sing those darn songs again, repeat those lines and remember the movements around the stage ever again.
but I'll surely miss:
- sunday full cast rehearsals
- jabbing marcia about how we could have turned it into slapstick comedy
- the times the cast broke into the song "the lion sleeps tonight"
- having to stand in for them people who couldn't make it for rehearsals (and giving their characters weird and wonderfully different accents)
- soloist rehearsals in the awesomely cool jamming studio
- sanchia and candice's looks at me every time we did our scene
- the countless times i've spilled my "wine" on my costume
- the many many MANY jokes and totally random moments in the mens dressing room
- the choking toilets which induced a multitude of cocroaches to evacuate their holes and in doing so scare the living daylights out of fully grown men
- the awesome theatre at CJC
- winstons constant reminders VIA sms
- celeste's constant reminders VIA email
- and all other spontaneous moments we've shared together throughout this entire production
- Our (nick linus and I) FAN CLUB! thanks girls, you da BOMB! we felt so pretty and popular
thank you everyone for the memories
we created something really special in this and thank you for letting me be a part of that. so many new faces to look forward to in church now :)
and thanks for loving the goofball :)
see you guys in church
or at least at the DVD screening
oh yes, and one more thing. i'll compile all the pix and put them on one of my famous picture slideshows and stick em up on my account at youtube. will send you all the link when its there!
for the last time this is your fairly inebriated angel saying farewell, God bless and from the bottom of my heart I LOVE YOU ALL and THANKS!

spread the lovin'
