it's me, the popular girl.
i have to confess that i'm not necessarily in the mood to write. since it's been a while, however, i am. i have the remnants of a headache that kept me home from work yesterday, but friday is worth writing about.i think, though i can't be sure, that someone sent a memo out to the world telling them to ask me what i was doing on friday night. my typical start to a weekend would consist of a brutally long drive home, the putting on of more comfortable clothes, a movie and a quilt or a book, followed by sweet slumber. i like it. one friday, though, i do remember wanting to hang out with someone, and after a call to my little brother (spending the weekend in brainerd) and the remembrance that joel and kathy were busy, i realized that i would have to be a homebody that night as well. my circle had gotten that small.
this past friday, however, was different. my mom called and asked me if i wanted to go see narnia, which i didn't really, but i told her i would let her know. two minutes later, my friend becky called with the possibility of taking in a show she had gotten tickets for. this was intriguing. i talked to my mom because i felt guilty until she reminded me that i hadn't really wanted to see the movie anyway and i hadn't committed. she promised to wallow in her loneliness with some ice cream and popcorn and i asked her to cry a bit, too. she thought she could pull that off. then, something else came up, but i don't really remember what it was because i was excited for the show. i never have things to do on fridays. it was like i was popular. very strange.
so we saw the boy friend. pretty funny, definately the most lighthearted show i've taken in at the ordway. but the real kicker was the realization, as encounters with ushers piled up, that we would be sitting literally front and center. we could not have been any more front or center. being a fan of the mezzanine, it was crazy to see actual facial expressions. didn't see many feet, though, just legs that ran into the stage. i wouldn't have minded being a few rows back, but i certainly won't complain about free tickets.
i do feel it needs to be mentioned though, that tall people should not sit in the front row. unless they're willing to slouch. but tall people with good posture? they make it awfully hard to see.

How fun to have plans when you weren't expecting them! With front-and-center at the Ordway to boot. :)
I'm missing a nap and/or a shower to get online and check blogland. You make it worth while! :)
