I gave my first to the phantom

OMG. FIRST BROADWAY SHOW EVER. and I'm so happy that I gave my first to Phantom. Like everyone else, I've always loved the music, I watched the movie version too many times, but this time at Broadway it's the first time that the drama really got to me, and I cried like crazy starting "Past the point of no return" all the way till the climax. I also felt the chills, whenever I am supposed to. This is a retarded comparison/statement but: even though I've watched many high school musicals and quite frankly enjoyed quite a few of them very much, Broadway is Broadway after all. It's just DIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFERENT.

luv it. luv it. luv it.

fashion

For some reason ethnic and ancient/past fashion/costumes really interest me. Current fashion, not so much so. They're certainly pretty and unique, but they don't make me want to study them in a scholarly way. On the other hand, ethnic and ancient/past costumes of literally ALL cultures and civilizations fascinate me. It's just a pity that I don't have the skill or talent to make these clothes myself.

overcome

Today at CPC I was sitting in for its volunteer program's group meeting, with about 20 high school kids split in groups planning for upcoming events. As they were talking, I saw parts of the old me in them--afraid to make phone calls to strangers, not knowing what to do, nervous...If anything, the one thing that has changed in me since college begins is that I've become more brave--Of course I'm still nervous about things like talking to, calling, interacting with strangers and professionals, but I am no longer deathly afraid of doing that. It was a phase, the phase when I thought there was no way that I could do it--but now I did it, many times over. Now I know it could be done, all that left to do is to perfect it.
