Mar. 4th, 2004 10:29 pmJust got back from rehersal. A total shamble since I hadn't had a chance to learn my words for the second act and the scenes we did were the ones I was worried about. Lots of pushing, grabbing, killing people with mallets, slapping and full frontal nudity. Hard to keep track of it all.
Thankfully we cut the full frontal nudity bit. A blessing for everyone since it'd be me who would be doing it. As it is they want me to get my shirt off.
Diet! Quick!
Had a filling the other day that's playing me up. No, not losing more teeth but this is an old one that I've had years that apparently had cracked. Decided to be brave and not have an injection to numb the pain first and just got the bugger drilled out without. Painful at the time but it seemed to be better. Uncomfortable today though. Hope nothing's wrong with it. Had the old 'metal' amalgam filling replaced with a white one, since dental technology has moved on a bit in the 12 years since I originally had it done. or however long it is. Personal vanity I guess, even though it's so far back no-one can see it. Cost me a bomb though, 50 quid for just one filling. ow. I think that's the really painful part.
Heard from an old friend I hadn't heard from for 2 or 3 years at least. Actually, probably nearer 5 if I'm honest. A friend I was pretty close with in college but we'd fallen out of touch since and I've only seen her once in the intervening period. I make a habit of sending christmas cards but she'd been quiet the last couple of years. Anyway, out of the blue I had a card filling me in on what she's been up to. Was surprisingly touched. It's really good to hear from her and I realised how much I miss having close female friends around. Mind you, most of my online friends who I feel especially close to are women, but that's not a new development for me. Probably adds fuel to the argument that there's a gay man in here somewhere struggling not very hard to get out.
Annnnyway, was good to hear from her although the news was a mix of good and bad. She and her boyfriend who has to be one of the most genuinely -nice- people I've ever met have got engaged. They really are a lovely couple and I think the world of both of them, even though we haven't been in touch. It's therefore pretty upsetting that he's been diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease. The prognosis is apparently good and he's undergoing chemo, but it's still a really tragic development. I need to write to them both and let them know I'm thinking of them.
