05:05: was bummed that i couldn't stay longer for the tpts moot. but then, i was getting too nervous. i saw my boss walking around the area and i had to duck behind a book! 
still, i had fun hanging out for a bit.
show today was ...there's no one word for it. energy was high. or tension was high, i should say. etoile had been performing with the flu since friday and with such a vocally demanding role, we didn't know just how far she could stretch it. with my fingers crossed while clutching my remote and headset, i breathed a heavy sigh of relief at the end of act one. i think we all did. at least the worst was over. but act two was just as nerve-wracking. after the final number, the 4 girls stepped behind the light wall and hugged and wept. geez! how can i not cry while seeing that?! and as etoile stepped onstage for curtain call, we all burst into applause. in the house, my boss was screaming cheers while still over the headset and jersey stood to give a standing ovation, i applauded till my hands hurt. when the ensemble stepped off-stage, i wasn't surprised to see them wiping their eyes, too. ...i can't even begin to describe what we went through tonight.
got home tired but i couldn't sleep. i ended up finishing coraline by neil gaiman. yeah, like i could sleep after that! ha!
