MWOS and a golden opportunity

mishisingsYesterday I went back to MWOS and had a lot of fun. Peter and Nathan were really having fun with the scene we practiced today. Their characters at one point are arguing about whether some dead guy sank like a stone or like a lump of lead, and it was pretty funny to watch. Our stage manager is this british guy whose name I can't quite recall and who is a real hard-ass, but when Peter did an absolutely brilliant add-lib, he said that the stone/lead thing was perfect that way, and it stuck. I'm not exactly sure where I'm supposed to be since I missed the rehearsal during the opening (which is understandable since I was singing the wisdom teeth blues) so I'm kind of confused, but I expect I'll be cleared up soon enough.
Pros and Cons of MWOS
Pros
-Four part harmony: need I say more?
-Strumpet jokes
-Amusing Victorian words
-The ego-inflation of being on stage
-really awesome costumes
-the profits go to worthy causes, so not only am I having fun, but I'm helping people too
-Eric and Nathan: handsome and fine gentlemen. Well, maybe not gentlemen. At least in Eric's case
Cons
-Too many old men (actually, we still don't have enough men for Yeomen, but I wish more of what men we did have were younger)
-What young men we do have are either taken, or STILL too old for me
-My mother and Jette do fitness classes together. I suspect that they talk about me
-No people my age
-it's do-it-yourself stage makeup
MWOS is sort of like going to visit my extended family that I barely know. I mean, I get along with my uncles and aunties, because I generally get along with old people, old women especially. Either I have a soft spot for them or they have a soft spot for me. In any case, they have a way of making me feel comfortable. It's a little awkward with my cousins, though, because the girls are all talking about things that I haven't done yet, and the guys, well, I think the guys are pretty hot, but one of them is taken, and they're both kind of old for me. And although I think they're very witty, I'm still wary of them.
Oooh, and guess what happened today? I got a note from Tacto and he's gonna give me a free account on Wirepop so I can continue reading and commenting on his comic! I love Tacto, he's the coolest!
