So I have come to realize that Laramie has started to consume my life...not it a bad way, not at all, but more of like it is all I talk about. Whenever someone says something even remotely reminds me of something we talked about at rehearsal, I got on like these tangents. Take for example the other day when my roommate brought up that her brother might be joining the army. I went on for about 10 minutes telling her about the Westboro Baptist Church and how they protested the funerals of soldiers and people who had died of aids. I guess I just want everyone around me to know what it is that I'm finding out. I mean, I think a large part of the play is making people aware that there is still an incredible amount of hate in our country.
To kinda go off of what I was talking about, now that I mentioned the Westboro Baptist "Church," I just wanted to share that the other day at rehearsal we watched a video on youtube with Micheal Moore as he went up against the "Church." I had to leave rehearsal, after thar video to go to class, but the whole time I was sitting in class I was actually sick to my stomach think about how violently one group of people can hate another.
