Black Comedy!

The light turning on was actually pretty spectacular - there would have been at least 3000 leodins (synonym for 'people who dwell in leeds') all crowded around a massive stage in the cold listening to X factor (like aussie idol) winners and losers sing their little hearts out. Then they switched the lights on and there was an awesome fireworks display. Now fireworks are pretty cool in my books - plenty of 'wow' moments. Infact Ben was yelling 'wow' so loud that he scared a little kid away - wow indeed.
But not even the wowtastic fireworks could top off the last 2 hours that i have had. I went to see the stage production 'Black Comedy'. Initially i thought it was going to be stand up, and then i couldn't find tickets, so i had all but given up hope. But Andii knew all about it as she was planning to audition for a part and was part of the stage society. It was hilarious and the performances were top notch - and it was all glued together beautifully with old school English accents. It made me realise that i haven't been to a stage production of anything in a fair while - the last time being a rock opera in Newcastle at least a year ago. What really makes a stage production great for me is having a charactor on stage who you can have a crush on - and my gosh, this one was not lacking in that respect. There was an actress playing the charactor Clea who particularly caught my eye - it could be because she was playing a spicy charactor, but she looked like one cool chick. So i sent her a message on facebook......... Now is this wrong? Am I a sleezy, stalking, star eyed fan looking for my slice of Celebrity pie? Or am i just a level headed sensible lad persuing the available pathways to contact with a lass that caught my eye? (or am i an accidental poet? - read those last two sentences aloud)
