Dancin' Fool

First dance rehearsal last night. Turns out I will be in one of the most dance-heavy numbers in the show. Once again, I was having a total blast. I feel like I'm back in high school; comparing the number of lines I have to what best friend had (always in competition); except now I'm only in competition with myself. How many numbers do I get to sing in; dance in? The more, the merrier I become. I've also begun to wonder if it's not just the fact that I'm returning to musical theatre that's making me so high. I believe it's also that I'm again playing w/ other human beings. I've been so cooped up since I got canned; that the cabin fever and social isolation may have been biting at me more than I realized. Well, it's nice to be with other kids; and having fun playing in a game I haven't "won" in quite some time. Now to complete the picture; I have to return home from rehearsal, get a glass of water from the tap and drink it really fast; trying desperately to catch a breath in between my over-worked gasps. You know what I'm talking about.
