Getting wiser everyday...

A few random things I have learned in the past few weeks:

1. After eating very little over the course of a day, it is thoroughly unwise to indulge in a Route 44 sized beverage from Sonic. The amount of caffeine included in such a drink is enough to give a person the caffeine shakes...which oddly feels like you are slightly buzzed and primed to faint at any moment - a very unnerving combination.

2. Godspell is the most physically demanding show ever. I have found bruises all over my body since we started running the show and most of the time can't figure out how I got them...and no, I'm really not that clumsy. After being on stage for almost the entire 2 hours of the show, flinging oneself about being goofy in a skit or throwing oneself down in despair during the crucifixion causes bumps and stage burn in the oddest places...

3. It is a very, very bad idea to leave a full cup of water anywhere near your alarm clock. It's especially unfortunate if both the cup and alarm happen to be on a shelf directly above your head.

4. I wake up quite quickly when a cold cup of water is poured directly over my head...and all down my back.

5. The only time you ever have to run to the store only for toothpaste and feminine products is also the only time you will run into a guy you know from work who will want to chat as you both do your shopping. There is a talent in quickly identifying things you kind of need as you walk along and then making an excuse just before going to checkout to go get that second item you originally came for...luckily I have said talent...
