Yay! So I survived Saint Joan. Today was our final performance. The past five performances (Thursday, Friday, 2 on Saturday and today) went really well. No mishaps aside from the normal dropped lines and minor things that can't be avoided sometimes.

I'm still not totally used to seeing the guys (actors) in their undies when I'm doing my preshow set-ups. Believe you me, it's not bad - it's just distracting! (Especially since most of them I just want to stare at.) Like the other night, I walked into the Dance Studio (one of the backstage rooms), and Ceeko was changing for the photocall and he was bare-chested and wearing these tight pants and I practically started drooling.

And I need help on guy stuff! There's this one guy, Mike, who is *such* a sweetie, and I kind of like him, but, you know, I don't want to say anything to him and I don't know what to do!


Yay! New "Alias" and "Angel" tonight!

okay, you do know that everyone is just gonna tell you to just ask him out, right? okay, then. and you're just gonna be like, "yeah, i know, but..." in that voice of yours so we're not even gonna go there. instead, here are some ideas on siezing the object of your desire.
a) we (a large group of female friends) take you on a shopping spree, get you a sexy new outfit (including underwear). you wear your hair down, some earings and some makeup. you talk to him as much as possible. he is dazzled by you. voila!
b) since it's been so cloudy lately...we dress you in a white t-shirt, braless, and stick you in the shower. then we send you off to the theatre, where you can shiver pathetically, swoon in his arms, and mutter something about a sudden cloudburst. once you're cleaned up offer to treat him to dinner for "taking such good care of you".
c) we get you some midol, since you suspect that this is all PMS related. you return to normal.
d) you show up for rehearsal in something inappropriate. say something about running downstairs to change. make sure he sees you in your underwear. pretend to be all surprised and modest and stuff. tease him about it later on.
e) talk to some of the other actors. say, "hook me up, yo!" i'm sure they'll be happy to oblige.
f) since you are hormonal, leave him some really sappy anonymous love poems. in the last one tell him to meet you at some snazzy romantic place for dinner. he'll be obligated to stay for at least one date :)
g) go on one of those radio shows, make sure he's listening, dedicate a song to him and ask him out.

uhhhh...and that's all i can think of at the moment. this sounds like a frickin' vogue article. remember, man, carpe diem!

LOL! I have a *that* voice! hehehe
Well, it sounds like (a) might at least partially happen - at least the new clothes part.
And (b) is not gonna happen - because you know I don't shiver! I'm like a little space heater. Although - if he does get cold, I could make a comment about that and give him a hug on the pretense of warming him up. Or offer my services as a "leaning post" if he's tired.
(c) ain't gonna happen - don't like pills. Besides, it's fun having these hormonal swings and complaining. And seeing on who I fixate on.
(d) - I'm too modest for that. You know that. And he'd pro'ly tease me first.
(e) - might happen. Although it'd pro'ly end up closer to the old high school "so, what does Mike like?"
(f) - not good at poetry.
(g) - not gonna happen.

See! I'm too shy and scared. You might just have to go to him and tell him I like him. And "carpe diem"? Isn't that "seize the fish"? :-P One of these days, I'm going to get my nerve up, I swear.

Although, I'm sure we'll have rehersal on my birthday, so I can try and see about getting him to go out or something - under the whole pretext of "I'm 21, and I need some advice on drinks".

"Although, I'm sure we'll have rehersal on my birthday, so I can try and see about getting him to go out or something - under the whole pretext of "I'm 21, and I need some advice on drinks"."
yeah. we combine that with plan a. bingo. although i fully approve of you asking if he needs to be warmed up...or needs someone to lean against. well, if i have an id by your b-day, i can come drinking and delicately broach the subject :) or i could just show up at the theatre randomly and say, "oh, so you're the guy a's been swooning over." *g*

Oh, I'm sure that second quote would go over *really* well. :0) Well, if you don't have an id, we can go to The Trap - which doesn't card when you go in - and I'll buy you a drink. Now, which subject will you be broaching? I just want to know so I don't get all flustered and indignant in front of him. (And so I can at least *try* to talk you out of it.)

i wanted to broach the fact that you think he is *such* a sweetie and you kinda like him (really you should be telling him this yourself). and you do know that you will never ask him out or do anything about this, right? you'll just pine in silence (although you'll get a really nice outfit outta this for free *g*). i think it would be good for your ego to ask. then at least you can say you tried-and it'll be good for future practice.
(praying the reverse psychology will work, but doubtful since i know how stubborn you are...you're not really shy and scared, just need to find the right words.)

I know I should tell him myself, but still.... Yes, I know I won't do anything. I'm one of those suffering in silence type of chicks. But what if he says no? How will that be good for my ego? Well, reverse psychology might be working. *But* I really am shy and scared and I do have the right words. :0)

But A, what if he says yes? Besides, if he's a nice guy, it might be worth it.

Well, I've decided that no matter what I think I am going to ask him to go with me for a drink on my birthday. But if something's going to happen between now and then, you've got to help me there. And remind me when it gets closer to my birthday. :0)
