Trip to the Theatre

Postby Harri » Sat Apr 21, 2007 12:12 am

Hey,
Haven't talked in a while (or 'leastways it feels like it). SO..... Time for an update fo Stuff and various Things. And some Very Interesting Things for you guys too, regarding the play we went to see.

I was ill, but got better. I was in hospital for a bit, my silly stomach disorder was playing up with stress and stuffs :? and it was scary...I was in an inbetweeny-state of mind and almost fainted. Eek! The tests they did were scary but it was okay.
My very close friend took me home and took care of me. He'd been concerned about me since the breakup with my ex. Then, a month after the breakup, my friend admitted he liked me very much. So we're now going out.

I laugh in the face of my ex because my current partner knows I'm a multiple. I told him. And I'm beginning to think maybe I can be accepted this time. :D

NOW THEN......Last week, he found an article in the paper about a play going on in London. Funnily enough it was a play about DID.... and he thought I might like to see it. I mean, I have NEVER seen or heard about a play concerning DID before! WHat are the odds, eh?
SO we went to see it together. It took a bit of courage on my part, because I thought after it he'd definitely think me crazy.

The play was AWESOME!
It was called 'The Wonderful World of Dissocia' It was just like being in a dream, for the first part. It's about this girl Lisa who goes into a ''dreamworld'' in her mind to find a lost hour of hers.

There were some great songs they sang, and some great moments. They even got down some of the generic alter names...there was a great bit where they said 'yes, the Scapegoat has betrayed you to the Destroyer..' Hehe...only a multiple would get it at that level I guess.
There were a LOT of scary bits...like every time they mentioned the 'Black Dog King', sirens sounded and they'd cover their heads and wriggle on the ground. Lisa was the only one who could face the Black Dog King. That was an especially scary bit when she did that. It made me cry.
The second half was from the hospital's point of view...it made me slightly angry as it was mostly about medicating her.

But there were some beautiful bits too...the polar bear's song was so beautiful and sad.. and the stage was like a magic eye picture, with lovely coloured lights playing upon it like a magic bubble...

It was a bit of a journey, with LOADS of stuff happening, but after watching it, I feel strange...like really content...
I think my partner got a bit worried; in the interval I had an alter switch...from Harri to me, and I proceeded to drink as much alcohol as I could before going back into the theatre hehe!
And Harri had an identity-crisis fit in the toilets before that happened too.
My boyfriend gave Elijah some new shoes (he works in a shoe store) so on the way back Elijah was having fun dancing on the underground's escalators. :D

I wish the play were a film, so you guys could watch it!
I seriously feel Like I have run a Marathon!!

ANyway this is becoming uber-essay-length so fare ye well

Right now, as you read this, does it amount to anything more than a collection of thoughts and memories which are just transitory, and come and go in the mind like clouds in the sky? --

:( Damnit, why doesn't America get cool things like that? Its cuz we're a buncha oversensative PC-ies (look for the pun) who will cry when something is MILDLY upsetting to our perfect little fantasy land where bad things never happen. And thats why the terrorists attacked us, unfortunately now we're paranoid AS WELL as being total PC-ies. #####&

freedom plan thing sounds dreadful!
Rick and Bates you must rise up against it! :)
i think they sell a book of the script...they told me at the theatre that i could buy it there for discount, or int he shops for £10...so maybes you can get it online eventually :)

they msut stop the whole 'politically incorrect' thing, then a lot more cool media would be available to show people the truth about certain things. i think this is true for britain as well

Elijah :D

To my dismay I have thus far been unable to locate a copy of the script! Ho Hum!
But I have been very unlucky with my internet shopping endeavors lately as I couldn't find a score I needed for class either!
Good grief!
