a nite of pumpkin and princess ^^

HAHA~ LAST NITE WAS AWESOME~!!! ^O^ went to NAC to watch a ballet! CINDERELLA!!! :D (it's a shame how i pass by NAC almost everyday when i go to school and never set foot in it....MY FIRST TIME!!! YEAH!) hee hee, so one day outta no where, benita pops up with an email asking if i want to take advantage of the live rush and go see cinderella~ and i was like "*GASP!* CINDERELLA?! BALLET~! OF COURSE!" (hee hee, i've had live rush cards for 4 years and never once have i used it) so the two of us met up after work and not knowing exactly how it works, decides to swing by NAC to ask for some info first~ the guy at the ticket booth told us how there's only 20 tickets left~ and that since it's a ballet, we might want to start lining up at 5:20pm for the live rush booth to open at 6pm~ then he paused...and said "actually, since it IS a ballet, you might want to line up at 5"~ we looked at our watch and it was around 4:15ish~ so we decided to take a self guided tour of the NAC :P and admired all the "arts" in the glass cases~ then we took a seat at the front lobby~ but decided might as well wait in line :P ~~~afraid of being bored, we raided the pamphlet shelve and head over to the booth~ we waited for an hour and a half! but it didn't seem that long tho~ cuz we ended up chatting about stories ;P it started out pretty normal~ since it's a cinderella ballet we talked about disney movies~ then it went on to children's literature and i totally ruined benita's image of little red riding hood ;P (we realized that children's stories are actually quite morbid....muhahahaahahah) and then for some insane reason we started talking about horror movies ;P (most of the ones i saw a few summers ago...A-HEM!TIM!...*lol*) and everytime someone walks to the ticket booth, which was different from the live rush booth) my heart skip a beat, cuz we were so afraid that it's gonna be sold out by 6!! btw, pple started lining up way before 5:20.....)anyway ;P so when the clock strike 12, ah, i mean 6 (hee hee) we went up to the booth and asked if they had 2 tickets~ she frowned and said that no two seats are together, benita and i was like "AWWWWW!" but of course, just in our head, not out loud ;P then the lady told us to wait and started talking to someone on the phone~ me and benita clung together hoping that maybe a seat will pop up somewhere (demo of wishful thinking~ haha) and just when i was picturing me and benita on two sides of the theatre waving to each other, the lady got off the phone~ and was like well, "there's one here" *and she points* "and there's one here" *and her fingers moved up with a bit of hesitation* i was waiting for her to point somewhere REALLY far but she landed one row ahead! it probably took only a split second, but to me it seemed like a reallly long hesitation! ;P haha~ so we FINALLY got the ticket and ran to rideau for a quick dinner (btw, we did put back the pamphlet that we raided, i mean, don't want to kill any innocent trees now ^_~ ) ha~ we went back at 7:30 and the place was already crowded with people~ after getting our tickets scanned we got in and well, being the first time there we looked really lost ;P but then someone came and helped us find our way ^^ hee hee~ we were in the Amp theatre~ yup yup yup~ and i looked up the price, it's $53 cdn plus tax and other charges~ hahahah, and we paid 9.50 for ours cuz of live rush! GO LIVE RUSH! kee hee~ the ballet was awesome~ i love the backdrops! and their costume are sooo pretty! the style is very modern, and the ladies in the ball room has really awesome dresses~!!! and of course, just when i was wondering how the pumpkin's gonna come in, it came in the most unexpected way! wahah~ and it looked sooooo comfortable in there!! :D hee hee~ and the orchestra~ *dreamy sigh* i wish i can play in an orchestra ^^ i miss my school band days :P kee hee hee~ on the stage, everyone is doing something of their own~ it's so hard to look at everyone at the same time! especiall when cinderella is turning back to her old self~~ *clapping and jumping up and down* haha~ anyway, then afterwards we wanted to take some pictures to proof tha we've been at the NAC ;P haha but benita's camera ran outta battery ;P~ so we just captured everything with our eyes instead ;P but we'll hafta go on a photo shoot sometime to capture ottawa at nite ^^ *lol* the evening was awesome~ tho, i came home with really really really really sore foot....i'm not normally that weak ;P i mean, standing/walking for 4 hours is nothing really...but...*sigh* my shoes was a little too fitting to say the lest ;P and by the end of the day, i felt like my toes were crushed.....boooooo~ hee hee, but the ballet was worth it tho ^O^ TOTALLY WORTH IT! haha~ thanks benita! for a LOVELY evening~ ^O^v
