Ugh!

I can't believe I last posted on TUESDAY!!!

Does the fact that this was tech week for the opera, as well as opening weekend, excuse me even a little bit?

Eh... I doubt it.

I'm not excusing myself, in any case.

*sigh*

Tech week has gone well, however busy it may have been, and opening night was fantastic. We had a very receptive audience- they laughed at all the jokes, appreciated the ballet (which I finally got right... mostly), and loved the singing. It was a nice payoff for all of the hard work we've been doing. Now there's only one performance left tomorrow night, and then life will settle down for two short weeks before school starts again.

It's a good feeling, knowing I'll be to bed at a decent hour for a change. Or at least until Sophomore year begins...

In other news, I finally figured out the ending to the angst-y piece that was driving me crazy. Yahoo!! *does happy dance* I'm so thankful to feel like I've got a bit of my sanity back.

I was a little worried about publishing the piece however, because it is pretty dark and very creepy. Intrinsically, that's not so much a problem, except that the darkness and creepiness centers around a much-loved character and focuses on a recent development that hasn't gone over so well with most of the fan-base.

I did post it yesterday all the same, and so far the reception has been pretty good. *crosses fingers*
