i want to wake up where you are.

i may not show it on the outside, but i miss you. so much so that i've cried over it for the past two nights.

ok. enough on that subject. i got my first paycheck and that feels so, so good. i love my job. i've seen so many of my fabulous 516 people and i have so many more to still see. and yet i'm really, really worried about how Grease is going to work out...Frank says we only need 10 kids to put on the show, but i'm still concerned. i hope it comes off. like it better. grrrr.

EDIT: i really like it when people you haven't seen for a long time haven't changed in terms of their good qualities, and seem to outgrow those things that once drove you crazy. sometimes it's nice to know that people are just the same old person they were when you last saw them, and it's also nice when they look at you and seem to say, "same old Gracie...." but at the same time, they've noticed that you HAVE changed, and not in a bad way. that you've grown up, that you have a lot to be happy about. i like that.
