Magical Mikado Musical

So,
The Mikado just ended on Saturday night/Sunday morning. It really was an amazing experience and I had the most fun. Like all things, some days were great (I got to talk to guys!! hahaha. :P) others, I was just like meh.
The musical was SO funny. My favourite scene was one of the guy's numbers called 'I've got a little list', about all the people the world could do without. I got to meet a whole bunch of amazing people and work with them during endless rehearsal hours. Performance nights were the best. My hair was actually not thaaat horrible to deal with even after all the hairspray and crazy hairstyling.
Ms Garett, the choreographer, was the type of teacher you are immediately fond of. She was caring and bubbly and funny, while being able to keep everyone under control. Kind of.
The guys were all quite friendly. I got to know Michael who brought cookies :D, Year 12 Gareth from Singapore who owes me chocolate, Claire who thinks I'm 'cute', Amanda who's really nice, Audrey who nearly tripped on stage (me following her behind), Shaun, the two 'mimes' Nathan and Jeremy, hug-giving Sakthi, George, James and heaps of others. Sure, I mightn't ever talk to some of them again, but the memories of the time spent together will still be there. Till I get old and maybe get Alzheimer's... But meanwhile.. :P
I also got a glimpse of what those partying teenagers in movies do at the afterparty. Hm. My take on it? I don't think it's my kind of thing. You drink, get drunk. I guess I might have enjoyed it if I had mingled more. But the pretty, tall, blonde girls holding bottles of alcohol, talking to the guys were a tad too intimidating for me. Such a cliche, isn't it?
But, I still had good time. :) The trampoline at Rob's house was awesome. His snake is just. scary. The food was pretty alright. Piizza and garlic bread and dips and things. :P We left at about 2am?
I stayed over at Crystal's. Her house had a nice, warm feel to it and her parents were awfully nice to me. Then, it was Monash Open Day. The same Sunday. I didn't get much out of it.. Partly because I was running on spare bits of leftover energy after like. 5 late nights of mikadomikadomikado. Free notebook though. xP
Sleep deprived, (i really should be sleeping like. NOW)
