I know that it may be 3am in the morning, and I know that I normally classify the day as starting from either when I wake up (no matter the time) or from when the first trains start running; but I HAD to come online to wish myself a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
I may have only been 19 for the past few hours, but it has already been quite eventful! I managed to mangle my way into nabbing myself a ticket to tonight's performance of NYU's 'Cabaret', in which Sam (from repeat appearances in 3 countries now) was starring as The Emcee. And FABULOUSLY I may add. I sat through possibly the most THRILLING exhibition of non-professional theatre I have ever viewed. St. Michael's - eat your heart out. It was simply SPLENDID. And edgy to boot! Where else would Sally Bowles be topless by the 3rd number?
Anyway, I hung around and met Sam afterwards to say congrats and give him a massive kiss and hug. I was chatting to the other cast members (I really cannot stress how good this show was. This is pre-Off-Broadway!) and ended up grabbing some beers and going back to someone's house. 4 hours later, I was still there.
I've found my New York element. Everyone at this party was somehow a part of what is called 'Tisch' - the NYU drama school. It's separated into what feels like a thousand different parts, but I think that it's eight sub-schools... We all ended up on the roof of their apartment in the East Village, and didn't leave until the cops came and found us at 3ish. The Cabaret cast is closing tomorrow (technically today) and had two shows, so my core group left earlier and missed all of the law-breaking fun. But I've really branched out now past my 4-solid mate group, so now hopefully things will start to spark up!
Still IDless... Darn...
Must sleep now so that I can wake up and it really feels like my birth-day!
Oh. And Hayley Joel Osment was there. He's taking courses as NYU too, and apparently he smokes a lot of pot. I guess you'd have to to see dead people.
