King's Dominion was a lot of fun. It ranks lower than the Disney Parks, Cedar Point and MAYBE Busch Gardens (although, it's been so long since I've been there... my memory could be skewed) but higher than Geagua Lake, ALL Six Flags parks (including Magic Mountain... I was VERY disappointed in that lame park) and Kennywood. Chris and I didn't go on every ride but we did play in the water park for a long time which was great. We rode this thing called "the Tornado" in there three times and we rode the roller coaster "The Volcano" twice. THAT is a fun ride. We didn't ride the new ride "The Dominator" because we didn't care. PLUS, it looked like the EXACT SAME TRACK as "The Mantis" at Cedar Point except the people don't stand up. Cedar Fair owns King's Dominion so it wouldn't be shocking if it was, essentially, the same ride... it's just funny because Mantis came out in the 90s sometime. This place is really far behind!
Yesterday morning as we were about to leave I came outside and Johnston and his girlfriend Lindsey were getting in to their car. He told me to come over there and as I was walking he said, "We've got something in common" and Lindsey held out her hand to display her new engagement ring. I screamed "OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" at the top of my lungs in the middle of the street at 8:30am and ran to her and hugged her for what seemed like an inappropriate amount of time for someone I don't REALLY know that well, all the time screaming in her ear about how happy I was. You see, that morning in the shower I was thinking about the two of them and how I loved how happy she made him. It's not like Johnston was some depressed, emo freak before but there has definitely been a change in him since he's met her. She seems like she's completely awesome and I was thinking slyly in the shower about how I should ask him if he had any plans to propose. And yet, he already had an hour earlier. HOW DID I KNOW??? Amazing. I was SO thrilled, and I still am. I kept texting Johnston to reiterate how happy I was all day. So CONGRATULATIONS to them.YAY!
Now more than half of our troupe is either married or engaged. That's weird for a bunch of actory types.
I am going to start training tomorrow morning in the box office. I'm excited. I also have to give a big tour at 11am that I volunteered to do. I gave the first Elderhostel tour for our season. It was my first tour ever and I was terrified to do it (and complained about how unfair it was for days) but it was fine and since then I've come to kind of enjoy giving tours (I feel like we're all friends at the end of them) so I volunteered for this one. All that crying about not being ready and how scared I was and now I'm like, "SEND THEM TO ME!" I hope this one isn't a complete disaster. Chris is actually giving the group a welcome speech (it's usually done by the executive director but he's on vacation. CHRIS is the next logical choice??) so I hope he tells them I'm really nice and even if I appear to be in a bad mood, I'm NOT! I have this unfortunate wrinkle right between my eyebrows that I got from the years of singing in my mask. Carly Smithson on AI had a similar wrinkle. ANYWAY, it seems that if I relax my face too much this wrinkle is there and people think I'm mad when I'm not.
Man.... I don't want to get botox. I'm only 25! Stupid correct singing. STUPID YEARS OF VOCAL HEALTH! :(
The theatre in Canton where I did Rocky Horror for two years is doing a bunch of shows that I want to be in during their next season. Too bad I don't live there anymore.
OH! So, I saw the SATC movie. !!!!!!SOME SPOILERS!!!!!
I LOVED it. It was the best representation of true break up emotions and process that I've ever seen. I cried so much and laughed so much. One thing, though... Steve. I don't think Steve would do that. I'm glad Miranda forgave him in the end but I just don't think that character would do it in the first place. I know he's not real but that situation actually SCARED me. I was like, "Oh my God. If STEVE could do that ANYONE could do that." Oh man. STEVE. Anyway, I just really loved it and I want to see it again because... I dunno... I just do. It changed me a little. And, I guess, by "changed" I mean "scared me into not throwing an out of hand wedding or being emotionally unavailable."
