Thoughts from Places: Things the State Thespian Conference Taught Me

I go away a lot. Is it because I like to leave? Maybe. But I learn things from the places I go. So, without further ado... stuff I learned from the State Thespian Conference (alternately titled Six Hundred Theater Kids Running Around in Animal Hats and Moshing) 1. Put a couple hundred kids in a with a bit of space, turn on some music, and you can have an instant moshpit. 2. After several years of intense study, the truth is revealed: You can actually dislike your own friends. 3. The amount of money people are willing to pay for the most trivial of things is astounding. 4. Like Mountain Dew, for example (I think I bought four on the trip and didn't finish any of them) 5. Sherlock Holmes is potentially the best book series I've ever read (and not just because Holmes shoots cocaine on the first page of Sign of Four) 6. Sleeping in one position for the whole night is difficult. 7. I really missed toast and jelly. 8. There are a lot of seriously hot theater guys (especially shirtless ones)(I'm so shallow) Need an explanation? Too bad. Tell me about things you learn from other places!

    LOL sooo hard right now...ah, thespians. And Corinne's outlook upon said thespians. LOL...

    Well, I've learned that the ocean does not take kindly to threats (while on vaca in California, and, two years later, Delaware)...I've learned that even if some schools have a climbing wall, that doesn't necessarily mean one should try to install one near one's locker bay at their own school...and I've learned that no matter how much the sting ray looks friendly from the smile on the underside of his little flat body, one should never try to pursue this friendliness in the form of any bodily contact, especially not the hug. Plus, sting rays are jerks and always flip sand onto the other aquarium-dwellers that share the rent with them, and fly into the foreground of any attempted photos, regardless of whether the sting ray was the intended subject.

    I love stingrays! They do horn in on pictures, though.

    Look at Will Write For Chocolate. I think you'll connect.
