Actual Actuality, Actually

I just came back from seeing the movie "Love Actually" and
it was bittersweet. It seemed almost real. With extremely
happy endings for some, moderately decent endings for
others, and sad endings for the rest.

I felt a little uneasy when the credits were rolling. Maybe
that's because I want life to be more like the movies. Not
the other way around. I can't help but wonder...are there
people out there who would actually throw themselves onto
an airplane on a whim and cross the oceans, just for the
chance to tell somebody "I love you"? Even without knowing
the response? I think if that were to happen to me, or even
if I were to simply witness it happening to somebody,
anybody...it would give me one of those highs that would
last an entire lifetime.

I woke up the other night, in a cold sweat. I had a
horrible dream. I dreamt that there was no more romance
left in the world. And everybody treated each other as if
nothing could ever, or would ever, change. Everything and
everyone was taken for granted. Even love. It was as if
kisses didn't mean anything, and were not even the least
bit exciting. At that point...what the hell would be the
point?

Tomorrow at noon we find out the cast list for "Candide". I
have no expectations, as I feel that my call back was not
very good. It would be nice to be in the show, however.
Right now, I can only hope for the best.
