My local theater is doing auditions for Shrek in a couple weeks. A lot of my friends are saying I should aim for Donkey, and I think it'd be an absolute blast. Part of me also really wants to go for Fiona, but considering the fact that they are only casting adults and I'm barely a college sophomore, I'm not sure if that's super realistic.

Are there any songs that could fit for either? I was thinking either "Right Hand Man" from Something Rotten, or "Killer Instinct" from Bring it On, but I'd appreciate more suggestions :))

So basically last year, I met this person who I immediately connected with during a show we were in. It felt like I met somebody who was literally my mirror image. We were both just as passionate about art, both wired differently, the only difference was he had opportunities that I could only dream of. He genuinely inspired the heck out of me.

Communication has always been very up and down though, and the last time we hung out he literally took an hour to show up. I kept giving him the benefit of the doubt and believing every excuse, but recently I had enough and finally told him I felt like I was the only reason we stayed in touch. I got left on opened, and I'm really hurt that I can't even get any genuine closure from this dude.

At the end of the day, if this is how he treats his friends here I'm not sure how he's going to do when he leaves the state for college. I just feel really stupid for making myself look so desperate for his friendship when it's so clear that he did not care.

I'm a prospective transfer from a community college, and I'd love to know how people feel about the training and classes, along with how well it prepares students for a future in the industry.

Playing your clone in that show felt oddly fitting considering how alike we are, but nothing beats the original. You've always inspired the hell out of me. Everything I thought M was? That was everything you actually were.

That moment I saw you backstage during Alice by Heart is when I should have known this was more than missing a friend. But when you reached out back in January, that felt like such a crazy thing to say within the first two weeks back in touch. So I chose to get lovebombed by another girl who didn't care. I wish I knew if you did. It's so hard to tell when things are so hot and cold..

Why is it only now that I wish I could be closer to you? To know if it's love or not? I wish I didn't know what this feeling was, it's too late for anything to come of it. I made the wrong choice, and now I'm paying the price.

So last year I started dating a girl I had known for a while, knowing full well we had 3 months before she left for university while I stayed in town for community college with plans to transfer. She acted like she wanted to make it work, but we barely texted outside of "hey how was your day" type stuff, and hardly called or went out due to how busy she was. Because she was my first queer relationship, and the first girl I ever had feelings for, I stuck with it. She ended up breaking it off with me the day she moved into college. She said she still wanted me in her life and that we should continue talking and potentially pick things back up soon, but ended up just ghosting.

​

She played the saxophone for a show I was recently in, and it all kind of just came flooding back. Especially all the subtle ways she put me down, and the signs that I was just a brief fling to see if she wanted to date women in college. I found old screenshots of The breakup, and when I read "It's not fair for you to wait around while I'm here", I just remembered all the ways I failed to improve myself this past year. I ended my freshman year with a 2.6 GPA, and briefly dated another girl just as toxic as her. I tried to move on, but without finding a therapist to help me process, I feel like I'm in the same place I was when she broke things off and it sucks. I hate that she gets to move on while I'm still hurting.

​

After everything we had, The only interaction I got with her was a "Great job you two" to me and a castmate.
