Be Mine

No, this is not a marriage proposal. However, this is the blog of a love story, so it seemed appropriate to give this post that title...why are you staring at me like that? STOP STARING AT ME LIKE THAT!!

Ahem. As for the post itself: It's mostly a reaction posting to the statement that I'm a hater of Valentine's Day. I'm not. The very fact that I'm writing this should prove otherwise, right? (And yes, I do know it's not yet actually Valentine's Day.) However, I'm not a hopeless Romantic, either–I know that all bubbles pop eventually (because the carbon dioxide blown into them by the very act of creating the bubble eats away at the thin film of soap holding it together, causing dark spots to appear on the surface of the bubble directly before it dies a horrible tragic death all alone all alone all alone alone alone alone)

Today I received this:

Obviously, it's from our dear Director. She mentioned that SpongeBob's face reminded her of an expression that Sam frequently wears. I thought I'd throw that out there just to keep me humble.

And because I can't stand being humble all alone (all alone alone alone alone alone) I thought I'd remind everyone that one of our first plans put the performance of KATB in THIS MONTH. Originally, it was to coincide with Valentine's Day; now, it lands beautifully on Saint Joseph's Feast Day. As far as I know, this is only a coincidence.

...but it might not be a coincidence. Perhaps I'll get Chris to work up a conspiracy theory. Like perhaps nanoprobes inserted into H1N1 vaccines caused us to postpone the play's performance dates to March 19 and 20, and 19+1 and 20+1 is 20 and 21, respectively, and if you reverse the digits 2 and 1 in 21 you get 12, and if you place the two numbers next to each other you get 2012!!!! And we all know what's going to happen in 2012!!!!!

But I'm sure Chris could do better.
