A New World...goes CRAZY

Lots to talk about.

So much to talk about that I completely support my starting with a short statement and having a period that says more than "end sentence here". Instead is suggests a sort a magnitude that can't be described in words.
To start, last friday I audition for something for the first time inforever and it was really fun. I auditioned for SOS's spring cabaret and to fast forward a week I'm in the ensemble and super excited for it.
On Monday, I embarked to the airport to fly to california in search of gold like so many before me. However, instead of panning for rocks I was looking for gold in the form of a living breathing Julie Andrews. On the way bombs started falling from the sky and exploding my life, changing everything I ever thought I knew. FIRST!!! My best friend in the entire world told me she's 8 months prego (not the sauce but like the baby-in-the-stomach). This took a lot of getting used to. Tears, laughter, screaming, shaking, the threat of binge eating and the response of anorexia were all phases I went through sitting in the Tucson airport. Becky said "be excited for the new person in your life!". Sharlee said "This is really exciting for her and it should be for you too". My mom said "Whats the big damn deal kevin! she's 25 years old what do you expect!"...thank you mom
So I get to California, freak out over the bun in the womb-oven and then stop by my house to witness my mother's first martini and my dog's possible fetal alcohol syndrom. Fast forward to the next day when we're at disneyland!!!
We go to disneyland in search of the Andrews and get there only to realize there are no wristbands left. In spite of attempts to get there are early as reasonably possible for us people had camped out the night before dashing all hopes of a person meeting. HOWEVER! We did go to the Carousel and see her speak and very close range and just loved every second of her.
I'm going get a little sappy here but I believe its important that I say this.
Julie Andrews is the symbol of my childhood and I get misty every time I hear her voice but I would be lying if I said she was the most important part of my day. While Julie Andrews is the icon of my life, Lex is the best friend in my life and spending the day talking to her and catching up with her and getting excited about her baby was the most magical thing that could happen in the most magical place on earth. After she dropped me off at the airport I was in total disney princess mood (which basically means walking with one hand up in the air for no reason) and I really became very glad to have all of my friends. If you are reading this (and there are few of you) know that you really do mean a lot to me. Whether I've known you since middle school, high school, or first semester I'm just so glad to say that you're part of my life.
Now Lex's baby wasn't the only bomb dropped on me. Elena called right after I talked to Lex to tell me that she was coming to Tucson this weekend! And come she did!! All of the people down here in T-town got see what one of kevin's non-theatre related friends is like. My favorite thing was that everyone was so comfortable with her being here. Having her here was like the BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTT OF BBBBOOOOOOOOOTH WOOOOORLDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The rest of this week was crazy and all over the place but very nice. Except for the fact that its getting hot again..watch yourself Tucson because I am in NO mood to start sweating just from being outside.
I'm going to sign off with a conversation I heard tonight
"Where's the raisin they're always talking about? I think it was left in the sun..."
"Oh you mean the one that's purple"
