Thursday went by extremely smoothly. I wasn't nervous at all, no obnoxious moron in my APUSH class. It was easy. I loved it. Friday was the Star Wars opening, so I went to that with some of the cast. It was pretty good! Ah, but it was Saturday, I loved Saturday's. Next week was Winter Break, and next Friday was Christmas, all of the cast members had plans, Daveeds meat holiday, Renée with her kids. I still didn't have any plans, I mean, I was only 15, you can't really make your own Christmas plans this young. 

Anyway, it's Saturday, Hamilton performs twice today, exciting for them. Exciting for me. I get to listen to them twice today, so, that's always fun. It is currently 10:30 and I'm still in my bed, oh gosh I love Saturdays, some people should be showing up in an hour and a half, at 12:00. 

I got out of bed and made myself coffee in my Hamilton mug, which I bought with the money received from working merch stands from time to time, and sat down on my little love seat and turned on The Office, which happens to be one of my all time favorite TV shows. I pulled out my phone and checked the couple forms of social media I had (Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram). Twitter was blowing up over Star Wars, so that was useless. I ended up just watching TV until people began to show up at the theater, in which case I heard people walking around and I gave up on relaxing. 

At 2:00 the first performance of the day started, I sat upstairs in my beanbag chair reading (and annotating) John Sedgwicks, War of Two, on the duel between Burr and Hamilton. One downside of living in a Broadway theater is that you aren't supposed to make a lot of sound during a performance, you could talk, but I tend to refrain from watching movies because it could be awkward if you could hear, "TO THE BARRICADES!!" During Dear Theodosia. I think that it could undermine the sentiment. During shows I usually read, did homework or napped, because napping is a very quiet activity. 

At 5:00 the show ended and I could hear the very loud chatter of very rich and well connected people as they left the theater. Ham4Ham started at 5:55 and I decided, 'hey! Why not watch from the crowd?'  That will certainly give me something to do. I truly have no social life, so I was very excited to see if they would notice me.

I left the theater at 5:30 and hung out with the people participating in the lotto. I was wearing my Hamilton sweatshirt with a jacket over it, but yet, I was still very very cold. I stood shivering in the midst of the crowd for 25 minutes before anyone came outside. 

At 5:55, Daveed, Chris, Lin and Wayne Brady came out. They announced to the crowd that Lin could not talk, due to him being on vocal rest, and also that Freestyle Love Supreme, was going to pick a winner for the lotto, and do a freestyle with, said (very lucky) person. They picked the winner, a man named Richard, who was hesitant to come up at first, eventually everyone rapped about stress. Which I applaud. They ended up calling the rest of the lotto winners and I walked back inside the theater. The show was at 8:00 so I had 2 hours to kill until I would wait around in the lobby spying on people.

I walked back upstairs to my room and continued watching The Office. Hey I only had so long to make any form of sound right? No need to answer, that was rhetorical. Micheal had just run Meredith over with his car when I heard a knock on the door, I paused my episode and opened the door. 

"Hey, could you help with merch again tonight?" It was Daveed this time.

"Yeah of course! You sounded great at Ham4Ham by the way."

"When did you watch that, were you watching out your window?" 

"No, I was in the audience, but I guess I could of just looked down from my window, good idea, I think I'll do that later!"

I went downstairs 5 minutes later at 7:00. I loved selling stuff, everyone was very excited. It was very cute. They also spent insane amounts of money on t-shirts, like seriously, but I'm not complaining, I do get fabulous tips. I think some of it comes from the occasional fan recognizing me, but also, these people are very nice and generous, I love it. Also, exteremly famous people came to see the show quite often, which was kind of a cool thing to see. 

Just as I was thinking about all the famous people who show up here, Neil Patrick Harris came in with his family. Now I don't know many celebrities, so, frankly, if I know who they are, the are exteremly famous, I do know who Neil Patrick Harris is, and was very excited to see him. I didn't talk to him, but me awkwardly watching him satisfied me. Once the show started I left to go back upstairs. I read for a while, sat in bed and eventually fell asleep early at 9:30. I guess this pretty much sums up living here, I love the people, the music is top notch, and the occasional celebrity will show up. 

I don't care if I'm alone for Christmas again, I've been given a great life with these people. They can leave me home alone at the Rodgers and I'll be perfectly happy. I have 2 great friends and an amazing boyfriend, but most importantly, I have a family who loves me.

Hello hello hello! Thank you for reading my boring filler chapter! As I was writing this I finally realized what I was going to do for the Christmas chapter. I am very happy. I know the chapter was kind of crappy, but hey, at least I uploaded! New chapter up tomorrow! I promise!

Thanks for reading!
