Hello all, I'm back at school. And finally awake.

I'm so sorry he didn't come out for y'all! That sucks! After our 5-person ovation and everything! I guess we'll just have to have another field trip to see it again.

I was bummed that I had to leave y'all early, but Sides was great and Rodney...gah, I love him!

I'm writing up everything, it was just amazing.

I figured I would just say hi and tell him that I was the person from BWW and that would be it, but he was just like...so awesome!

I know, he introduced me to some of his friends that came and to other people in the cast. He was like "This is Amy from BWW" and the other people in the cast were like "Thanks so much, I loved what you wrote" and all this stuff and it was just weird that they all knew who I was.

Seriously, we ended up talking for like half an hour, and they had to close the theater, so we moved to like stand out on the street. He's so amazing, like I would have felt like I was being intrusive, but he was so nice and just made me feel like I could talk to him about all this stuff. It was just so great.

awwwwwwwwwww! That's so cute. Anthony introduced me to him, and he was like "Oh. HI! *HUG!!*" I didn't meet the rest of the cast, but they seem great.

I know, I totally kept thinking that the whole time. Like, when I first introduced myself, he immediately hugged me and was like "Oh my god, it's so great to meet you!"

And then he just started immediately including me in the conversation with his friends (lots of stuff, I'm PMing you Emcee 'cause I don't know how exclusive this info is) like I wasn't just some fan at the stage door, he treated me like totally normally.

I was really bummed last night that I missed out on seeing Raúl (before I read here that he didn't come out!), but this totally made up for it.

And it's really genuine, too. Both of them are. There's none of this "Oh, I'll be nice because I have to be polite to people who support me." It's so... real. I was thinking the other day that in the past week, there's just been this huge element of surrealism taking over my world.

Raul's just a little princess, that's all.

Heh, I almost feel like I should start a Rodney To Love Thread so I don't derail the conversation here from the Raúl love. But that would just be like really superficial and embarassing, so I won't.

I know this is old news, but I'm really bummed out that Raul didn't come out the stage door after you guys saw the show. Maybe he wasn't feeling well....

Maybe! Does that mean we have to start calling him "royal highness"?

Nightmare Before Christmas is making me happy. And the fact that I'm pretending not to have any homework tonight or any test tomorrow.

Oh, Raúl. Never can tell with that one. Still glad he was in the show even though I didn't get to tell him so. But the fab pic I have of G attempting to steal his picture (or just hump it) is priceless.

I'm still laughing over that. I'm sorry, it just looks like she's humping "Eureka!" Raul -- not even stealing.
