Why Zohaib is excited right now!

So planning the whole Halloween party has been complete hell. The whole experience has indeed been a humbling one. With nowhere to start from and not knowing where to end I'd say we have indeed come along nicely.

To be perfectly honest even though I am part of the organizing committee I really wasn't that excited about the whole thing until recently.

The thing is that we started organizing it right after the time my play ended. So for awhile I was in that mood where I didn't really find anything that exciting anymore. The whole thing seemed more like a chore than anything. And when it comes to doing stuff I really won't give it more than 50% unless I'm really into it.

Finally I realized that I'm doing this whether I want to or not and so I should just stop complaining and take an interest in it. So I did.

I don't really know how much I've contributed but I DO know that I have made a complete idiot of myself and will have to almost lose whatever little self respect I have left over the next week.
It really felt like shit standing/sitting in the hot sun trying to sell tickets and people not even bothering to listen to you but instead pretending that they can't hear or see you. Not even a single sympathetic smile in our direction yet loads of dirty looks. It was as if I had murdered their mother or something. Certainly from this point on I know now how all those sales people feel.

So why am I excited now?

BECAUSE SHARMIN WILL BE PERFORMING AT THE EVENT....hopefully. Not wanting to jump too far ahead but as long as she doesn't change her mind and the whole thing actually takes place then she shall be playing....hopefully.

Sure I've heard great things about Akash's band who would also be playing which is also very exciting and for which I am really really grateful for which this post might not make it seem like.

But really I just talked to Sharmin like an hour ago and her agreeing to play is still brand new news for me so its understandable why I'm more excited about that at this point.

For those of you who are wondering "Who the fuck is Sharmin?", she was a fellow cast member who played the really scary Sheila and who has a bit of that same problem that got Lindsay Lohan where she is today. But thats ok because if it wasn't for her and her wonderful flask I don't think any of us would have been able to pull the show off. Ofcourse only after the show ended did we realized that "HOLY SHIT SHE CAN SING EVEN WHEN SHE'S SOBER!". You can check out her blog which I have linked on the right side of the page.

Really though she's been very supportive of the whole Halloween party and so this post is dedicated to thanking her and everyone else who chose to actually listen to us blabber without pointing any fingers!

Thanks guys! For everyone else, as soon as this whole thing is over, and I'm allowed to do so, I'll do....uhh...I really can't think of what I'll do right now but I bet it will be horrible.

Yes very horrible indeed.
