fools.

it's a good thing nationals isn't every day or we'd kill each other.
but since it isn't, nationals is the culminating event of the year; the grand finale and final goodbye to our departing brethren

it's a week-long non-stop celebration of everything theater

it's heaven

it's nationals

[added note] i was recognizable this year!
and i was recognized!
AND congratulated!
made me feel fuzzy inside ::indicates apparent fuzziness in pancreas region::

[also: for meg] i talked to Hot Guy and he congratulated me on my performance! and when i complimented his toga he gave me a hug. aren't you proud?

now. through with exclamation marks. am not dancing.
will dance when i've recovered from not sleeping or eating anything of substance for a week

and delant�'s farewell speech was beautiful

and now the torch, and accompanying song, has been passed

can i handle it?

we shall see
