toblerone

"what kind of candy bar would you be?"
"...a toblerone."
"why? because everyone wants them but no one ever gets them??"

so, i was in fiddler on the roof.
yeah. shush. but, whatever. a show's a show.

i had this big ol' solo. i had to sing and light some candles and do this whole "look like you're praying" deal.
well, it was a small school, so if you were in a show, you weren't just in it, you were also the tech crew. so, before hand, i was helping to change and set lights and all that fun stuff. apparently, i must have gotten some oil on my hands. or something. because i light the candles, wave my hands over them in a prayer-ific sort of way, look down and my finger is on fire!
no lie! it could have had a wick and you wouldn't have known the difference.
so, i blew my finger out and continued to sing.
you heard a brief gasp from the audience, saw some actors with their jaws on the floor, the song ended and the lights went out.

i walked off stage, tears in my eyes, to the stage manager..
"it hurts!" i said.


the end.

this has been one of my favourite thai places for a while. i mean.. there are plenty of other fabulous places for thai. trust me, i look for them everywhere. but the prices here are brilliant. completely. and they seem to have mangoes in season the longest out of any thai place i've been to.
