Fid­dler was absolutely A M A Z I N G !

Megan and I went to the cast party after­wards and then we went back to my house and watched a movie…

It was strange.… when I went back­stage dur­ing inter­mis­sion, sev­eral peo­ple in the cast told me that they were so glad I was there. It made me feel really good for some rea­son. It's so strange how someone's sim­ple words can make you feel bet­ter. Maybe I have this "I-should-be-an-asshole-just-because-I-can" men­tal­ity all wrong…

The Story of Ma-pey

[This was given to me by Megan; it's a story that our friend Natalie wrote. It has not been modified.]

Once upon a time in a deep dark jun­gle there lived the mighty war­rior MA-PEY! (Pro­nounced Moppy—no con­nec­tion at all—I swear!) He was a great war­rior whose strength, courage and good­ness knew no bounds. How­ever, he did have one prob­lem. He could not find a woman who was his equal. He had trav­elled his great king­dom in search of such a woman but failed mis­er­ably. He had courted all the beau­ties and the not-so-beauties (cough cough JENN cough cough JAMIE!) but could not find his true love. One day he heard of a war­rior queen who lived to the north. He heard tales of her beauty and intel­li­gence and was greatly impressed but he also heard of her fierce­ness and was turned on—I mean intim­i­dated. Despite her ardent refusal of suit­ors, Ma-pey decided to pur­sue the ele­gant Queen May-gan (pro­nounced Megan—once again, a mere coincidence).

So he set off on his trusty steed to woo the Queen. How­ever, the Gods were watch­ing [insert dra­matic music] and they knew the Queen and Ma-pey would need some help. So they sent the mis­chievi­ous demon—I mean angel Na-at to "help." The Queen wel­comed Ma-pey with a huge ban­quet but intended to send him on his way the next day. For­tu­nately for the both of them, Na-at slipped a magic truth potion into their drinks for them to real­ize that they were meant for each other. Now the reader may ask: "Why not a love potion?" But the Gods, in their infi­nite wis­dom, knew that Ma-pey and May-gan only needed to real­ize the truth of their com­pata­bil­ity. Na-at's work was fin­ished and to keep this story PG, let's just say there was more fin­ish­ing (hee­hee). Ma-pey and May-gan lived hap­pily ever after after, join­ing their king­doms to rule as one. Their chil­dren even­tu­ally took over the world, but that's another story…

Wasn't that Nice?
