Tonight I went to church. To see a MUSICAL. Though I was thoroughly inundated with Jesus, I really appreciated the show. As Alec predicted, "By my Side" was the loveliest song in the performance. It inspired me to learn how to harmonize.
Let's rewind a bit.
I arrived fifty minutes early to Bethel Church. (The venue for the musical.) Smoking in my knee high leather boots as I read Definitely Dead in my car, I waited for the show to begin.
Churches make me uneasy.
I probably have too much Satan in me to feel comfortable in them.
However, I make a point to attend all of Alec's plays. So I trudged in with my game face on.
Actually, I apparently did not. After the show I was informed (by Alec, who was reporting the observations of the cast) that I looked "pissed, angry, or cantankerous" for the duration.
When I left the house I was going for sex pot.
Something must have gone awry.
Back to the main topic, the show's cast was incredible.
Between Emily?, Lauren Smith, Melissa, Andy, girl with feather boa, many more that I do not know the names of, and of course Alec, the parts were more than filled. I loved watching the mannerisms of the actors. They are so good at plastering cheery/depressed/seductive/tortured expressions on their faces.
I had to rein in my laughter when "Jesus" sang "Oh God, I'm dead.." in a voice that was reminiscent of David Bowie.
I'm sorry Jesus, I have this awful habit of laughing at you in church productions.
Now I prepare myself for a lonely and quiet evening with my book. And my new pet fly, Brady.
Brady is on my shit list right now, he wakes me up with his tickle-ly feelers and buzzing wings.
Okay. That's all folks.
P.s.
Alec you were fantastic, and I think God was so proud. I know I was.
