It Sucks to be Broke and Unemployed and Turning 26 but at least I...

Finally got to see Avenue Q last Sunday. It was fabulous. Worth every freaking penny. Though I have to admit that I was a bit biased to loving it since I've loved the play ever since I first heard the original cast recording a little over a year ago. The cast album has never left my iPod. I never get tired of listening to it. I recently went back to college and while I was waiting in line to get registered for classes, I was listening to "I Wish I Could Go Back to College" and whenever my day becomes particularly shitty, I listen to "For Now" and I end up feeling better. But the show really was amazing. Everyone did a great job. I fell in love with Trekkie. I find him to be a very lovable pervert. harhar.

Watching Avenue Q reminded me why I love watching plays over watching movies. It just feels different like it's more personal or something. I don't really know how to explain it but it's just... better. I just love how things work in theater. There's certainly a lesser chance of you having to put up with the same shit that you have to put up with all the time when you watch movies. Nobody kicked my seat, did not hear a single cellphone ring, didn't even see people checking their phones during the show. They were all busy watching.

They're going to do the show again in December and I'm going to see it again. I probably have the whole thing memorized but I don't care. I'm watching it again if only to show that there is a market for theater here so that they'll have shows more often.

Of course, if they do have shows more often, I'll probably have to skip lunch once in a while, live with not having cellphone credits, and only go out every other month in order to be able to buy tickets because theater tickets don't exactly come cheap . After all, I am but a mere student now and all I have is my allowance but that's fine. I figure it's best that I start doing things that I love doing because...

life may be scary, but it's only temporary...
Everything in life is only for now"
