Happiness is...
Rush Tickets. Fond of plays? Care to go to the theatre? Not interested in spending 65$ each? No problem.
With rush tickets, you can spontaneously decide in an afternoon to head over to the box office and get half price tickets just minutes before the show. Sure, it's risky. But is it worth it? Absolutely. Today, a few of us went to see A Christmas Carol, just because. Not only were we able to enjoy a great show, but it didn't put us back much either. Win.
p.s. I recommend this show in particular---great set, awesome blocking, and amazing cast. God bless us, every one!

Theatre
Happiness is...
Theatre. It was part of my past life, but I loved it regardless. Even now reminiscing, it does wonders for my mood.

Avenue Q
Happiness is...
Puppet Musicals. I made it to Avenue Q last night, and it was everything I dreamed of. The puppets shared the exact outfits with their cast members which made it adorably fluid. One puppet was so large it took the entire back side of someone, head to toe, and he had to operate it in reverse.
And the songs..."What do you do with a B.A. in English?", "It Sucks to Be Me", "If you were gay", "Purpose", "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist", "The Internet is for Porn"...
It was like an adult version of Sesame Street, and I was like a child on the edge of my seat. Bring on more Avenue Q!

Theatre
Happiness is...
Theatre.
I was active in High School, because it was the joy of my life to put on a face and enjoy my fellow cast members in our adventures.
The sets.
The make up.
The roses.
The friends.
The jokes.
The late nights.
The hard lessons.
When I was a child I acted like a child. Now I don't act at all. But it will always stay with me as fond memories. Now, I get to go to shows and fall into them. I get to watch the characters flail about and paint the elaborate picture of their extravagant lives, and nothing else seems to matter. At least for tonight.
I know that I will always enjoy theatre. I will be a patron of the arts, and noone else can object. I welcome the drama. :)

Laughter
Happiness is...
Laughing so hard your cheeks hurt. There are worse kinds of pain out there. Laughter is the best medicine, despite the fact that you could possibly get worn out. At least with your smile muscles working, you have hope for your life. Wrinkles? Who cares. Keep it up, sir comedy.
Tonight, it was an epic play. Yesterday it was a drink with friends. But life will always throw curve balls your way and I've learned you must make an investment in your own personal sanity. You are enough.
Keep it light, give a good giggle. It's contagious!
