I think I'm doomed to live vicariously through other people's lives.
After all, I'm going into theatre. And not only that, I'm going to be dressing actors. I won't really be on the stage myself. And theatre is about thrusting yourself into a story and feeling and living a story in order to understand something new about the world. Or, in many cases, to simply affirm one's own worldview. This happens quite often in musicals.
Another example may be seen in how I spent my day today: 1.5 episodes of "Green Wing" plus a film and a movie: Rachel Getting Married and Confessions of a Shopaholic. I will probably watch more "Green Wing" later on tonight. These sorts of activities are regular occurrences in my life in Redlands.
Green Wing is a British hospital comedy television show. It's like Scrubs, but 5x as many inappropriate sexual jokes, better witty jokes, and wackier characters. And loads of angsty tension between two main characters. Oh, it's wonderful. Go watch the first season on Hulu. Second season is on MySpace.
(my mood right now can best be described as a mixture between "Mad World" and "Both Sides Now." I find this slightly depressing)
you're not alone. i do this with gilmore girls regularly. i find their lives to be exciting and i want to be lorelei. it might be a problem, but im not willing to deal with it quite yet. im in oc. maybe we can have lunch or something. let me know when you're at disneyland!
