fuck it, more warm and fuzzies while i'm here:

if you happen to be one of the three people who saw the post i made about the play i saw my freshman year of college, where i glomped onto a certain character, then i hope you're happy to hear that i got to see the guy who played that character and graduated two years ago again yesterday! he came to mc for the acapella event i posted about. i grabbed him right after the show ended to tell him that a) i remembered his performance in that show from four years ago, b) it's good to see he's doing well, and c) theater at our college has been bouncing back since he left (specifically citing our hamlet production and the incredibly talented freshmen who led the show).

i didn't mention my name cause it wouldn't mean anything to him (we were in chorale together, but that was mostly over zoom). it was just good to see him, and he seemed to appreciate the stuff i shared with him. human interaction is worth it sometimes :)

#i'm sad that he and my friend who directed the show never got to introduce themselves to each other #especially because i forgot to mention that our production was student directed #but he might have known that already? because when i mentioned the show to him he was like #''oh yeah. [x] (the freshman who played laertes) was in that right? i taught him for a little while! :)''#(the guy teaches high schoolers now apparently)#and i. wasn't expecting that!#i suppose life has a way of circling back like that if you know where to look - and who to talk to #on a semi-related note: it was funny going back to find that post i linked above #and seeing past me say that play might be my favorite non-musical piece of theater #not cause i think the show was bad in retrospect (though i haven't really revisited it in a couple of years)#but because of all the plays i've read for classes since then #well. one in particular.#i don't have to say it. y'all know. :)
