What was wrong with me yesterday?

It was a rough night. I really was kind of hoping for a play that wasn't terrible. But it was. It was especially awful after seeing Wicked while I was in Chicago. Wicked was good. Really good. Highly entertaining - I would recommend it. I spent most of the play trying to entertain myself. Things like looking at the stage lights with out my glasses. Looking cross eyed - then only moving one eye to look right, look cross eye - move one eye to look left. Staring at random objects. I tried not to tap my feet and/or be to obvious or obnoxious. I watched the faces of other people in my row as they watched the play. Some people looked absolutely enthralled by the action of the play - others looked as bored as I felt.

We even had to go to the cast party at a bar afterword. It was bad and annoying. I hate playing nice and interested in the play. Discussing my 'favorite parts' and talk to the actors about how they got into it and why they do it (pretty unsuccessfully I'll add.) All I really wanted to say was "I don't understand why you are still acting when you clearly are not very successful at it. And BTW this play was terrible and is not going to help you get further in your acting career. I hope you enjoyed acting in this play - so at least someone enjoyed those two hours of my wasted lifetime." But you can't say that. That would be mean and rude. So instead, I have to act like I loved the play even though I just loved looking at the theater lights without my glasses on. They looked pretty cool.
