Today was actually quite successful on the pointey shoes! HOOORAY! This is of utmost important because the MET OPERA ballet auditions are on Wednesday - and I'd like to do well - because they are a marvelous company for which to work - and I think I'm good enough - so there! Amanda is now working at the boutique at STEPS - so she watched the last half hour of class, and said I looked pretty good - which makes me happy. (Amanda is not in ABT - but she is every bit as talented as the dancers in ABT - if only the economy wasn't so bad and companies were HIRING not laying dancers off - she would have companies banging down her door! Just beautiful - I can't wait for the world to watch her be amazing!) She will also be at the met audition - crap - haha. There's room for all of us!
Amanda and I then went to lunch - where - I hoarding most of the conversation time talking about Shakespeare - and Titus Andronicus - but she did get a few words in about Sartre, Becket, and Godard. All we need are berets and scarves and we'd be regular stereotypical French coffee house go-ers. hahaha.
Then I had work. I buff the floors at Steps. As I buff - I tend to sing Phantom of the Opera or Little Mermaid songs - I consider it practicing for my grande Broadway debut! Every now and then a King and I or Showboat or Carousel song pops into the mix. Anyways - I was up in the lofts - buffing away - laaaaa laaaaaa laaaaaa - when BATMANs MOM comes in. I'm standing in fear - what will happen? Will I be decapitated for being mean to her beloved son!? Who KNOWS what lies he has told HER - I'm still discovering lies he told me - and weird bizarre fucked up shit he did. And his mother is the quintessential over protective momma bear! So I'm thinking - this is it! I'm going to die - right now.
And she says "is that you singing? you sound really good. I could totally see you playing Christine or Ariel on Broadway." I stand there slack jawed. Finally squeak out a thank you. Then we had a twenty minute conversation about pleasant things - like - how amazing I am. And she said - do you want to say hello to the dog? Dog - come say hello! And I said hello and the dog (WHO IS NOT EVIL!!!!!!!) licked my face. And I was ------- very very very very very very very very very weirded out - but also incredibly thankful. The sister has always been nice to me, and the mother - since June - has been reallly really sweet as well. While its strange the mother didnt acknowledge anything bad had happened (I'm not even sure she KNOWS....though to not notice would mean she is missing more than a few bolts in her brain) - I am very thankful she didn't - because with the mum and sis - I would rather things remain as normal - whilst Batman to just disintegrates into oblivion...
Then home where I killed about 17 hours on facebook - not packing to move back to MY apt. away from the evil doggie apt! YAY!
Cara and I are going to TRY to get tickets to the Met Gala tomorrow- we'll see if we succeed. It's weird to have a Saturday Night without Kat and Cara here - watching Buffy and eating Puppy Chow. They can't come over to the doggie house - big sad face. And - I had PLANNED to write a - "Please give us $10 to put on a showcase" - in the vain hopes 300 people would give me $10 - but - that didn't happen - instead I watched videos of M. Gomes dancing on youtube whilst talking online to Ferrip. Ah well - tomorrow is another day.
And for now - I'll - dream!:)
