I'm sinking.

so a bad bad day turned itself into a worse yet better day when I searched YOUTUBE for "The Last Five Years"...

When I did, I found these great performances from this kid named Danny McHugh.
He can sing.
He can dance.
He's brilliant.

When I got to about the third video of his, I cried.

Granted this kid has a much better voice than I'll ever have, he

1) i'm pretty sure your subconcisoucsly messaging me.... i saw my name an awful lot in there
2) You're not going to school for the degree silly, it's the experience that matters
3) Calm your shit down
4) College isn't so much about teaching you facts but teaching you how to think and deal with things. Most people don't use the actual information they were given in college however it does train your brain to deal with something like a job. If nothing else look at it this way:
When you're famous you're probably gonna have to play a college student at least once. All college students are unmotivated and lazy so think of this as getting really involved in a role :)

Hurray!

OMG i forgot the most important part!

You ? Not Driven? Not Passionate?

Kid i'm only friends with passionate people. Remember how when we lived together you would always walk in and me not just dancing but full out performing in my room? That's all passion is. It's wanting to do it not in spite of no one else being there but because you're doing it for yourself.

Kid you have that! You try to act all cool but i remember being awoke everyone morning to a certain baraton belting out the Soprano part to " Wicked".
I've seen your dances to britneys songs. I've seen you practice them. I've seen you break out spontansouly into dance. Kid if you have anything you have passion.... i know because it's exactly the same passion i have.

You don't need a video camera to do it. You're like me

you do it for yourself.

Kid you can doubt a lot of things but never doubt your talent or drive, because we kinda of have that in common and i have never doubted the fact that no matter how bad my day is, i can dance and sing it away

kk love you!

Seriously, okay...

get out the chalk,
cuz you get a couple of cool best friend points.

I've been there. I've been in the same position you're in. You know exactly what you want and how you're going to get to it. You just need to tell yourself that it's ok, and not deny yourself. What's the worst that can happen? if you're driven enough, which it sounds like you are, you'll get there. You're heart will lead you there. Just trust yourself.

[straightoutof86]

wow, thanks Frank.

that was actually very insightful. : )

i know what you need.

[ichhassealles]

a) more hang-out with frannie.

b) meaningful projects to work on.

hey, i know...

...get that degree because you'll regret it if you don't, and then join the band of lunatics who will be working on meaningful theatre projects with me! I WANT A FUCKING BAND. and i want you to be part of it.

you can be my rubberband.

...whatever you want that to mean. =)

p.s. i liked how you made fun of my summer at the show today.

Re: i know what you need.

[straightoutof86]

why is it that frannie thinks the solution to every problem is frannie?

haha...probably because at least momentarily, she's right.

rubberband?

yeah, your summer sucks : )

[straightoutof86]

god I love you.

and yes, I would love some tea.

thanks, honey.

[ohjane]

Yes. A theatre degree matters. You'll know you're screwed the second you leave without it and you'll know there is still so much to learn the second you leave with it.

Fireworks makes me happy. Perhaps that will work for you? Kevin Beltz is firing off a show tonight - wanna come along?

[straightoutof86]

I would love love love to go to a fireworks show, but I have class until 7:23, and noway to get there from...there.
