Well, well, well, here I am again.  Jumping years again, as per my usual pattern.  Anyways, I'm turning back to the vain hope of journaling once again, as I've been feeling rather...well, stagnant lately.  Creatively, that is.  I don't know, I'm quite happy with how this year is turning out, and I have plenty to do, but then I have odd points where I just get horribly restless...and I think I'm looking for some sort of more creative outlet, but then I don't know what to draw or write or even where to start.  And then, with the talk that has surfaced the past day or two, I just feel like maybe I should try getting my musings out on paper.

We had the Dreaded Discussion in DSS (Drama, Stage, and Society--basically scripts throughout history, so this talk wasn't even that relevant to the class material) yesterday, and touched on it again in Voice & Speech: that of life after college, especially for theatre majors.  Casey Kaleba--who is awesome in the way only young theatre professors can be; in addition to one of those people who simply must be addressed by first and last name-- paralleled the life of theatre-major-graduates to the myth of Sisyphus (Hades-boulder-neverending struggle uphill), which of course rang dauntingly true.  The fact that whether we like it or not, we have doomed ourselves to be forever striving towards the next audition, the next show, the next company, the next chance.  I suppose this also links back to Tom's favorite saying that theatre majors are perverts.  And yes, he is rather serious.  Its really only now that its striking home with me...  How can it not be perverse to choose a career that you will always be hungering (metaphorically, and, hopefully, not too often physically)?  To choose a career where you will constantly be comparing yourself to hundreds of others; where you are waging a constant battle with nearly any aquaintance, companion, best friend, teacher, enemy, loved one, even family? 

And yet, the only comforting part that thankfully did worm its way into the discussion:  We do it because we cannot imagine doing anything else.  A rather perverse love, yes, I must finally admit, but its a love nonetheless.  Though usually I spend my time blissfully ignorant and downright neglectful of my nearing future after school, I was still firmly in love with theatre when I did turn my thoughts to it.  I really, honestly cannot imagine life without it.  Its a train of thought I dealt with in highschool, and I was quite relieved to find my feelings on the matter have only strengthened.  I still have a chance.  And, for the added hope of another Casey Kaleba quote: "Success is there to be seized."  You can choose when to stop being hungry.  There's always a choice.

Now I've audtions to run to, but it's something to mull over.

I really should do these essays...but I'll post here first, since Andi's newly friended. ;)   Not much has happened here.  Well, actually, a lot has happened and is still happening, but I don't feel like talking about that right now...  I have auditions for Sweeney tomorrow, so hopefully that'll go well.

I've been in an odd mood all day, but I've realized (from it) that there are several random things I want to do in the near future:

-Wear red lipstick and pull it  off
-Have a long meaningful conversation in a stairwell, preferably in one of the massive ones in Robinson and preferably in the evening, after a walk  (don't ask me why...I don't even know)
-Go iceskating
-Go to a pumpkin patch, or other fallish activity  *but it has to actually be cool outside, otherwise it's just not right :)
-Have an old-school sleepover with my other triplets with all the girly requirements
-Come up with a better name than the triplets...cuz that isn't working
-Go dancing
-Get more sweaters
-Do something nature-y
-Get stuck in an elevator.  But only with non-annoying people, when I don't have anywhere to go, and it's only a few stories up, so we don't fall to our deaths...  :D

Dear people on my floor:
Please stop slamming doors at 4 in the morning.
You can be up, but please shut them quietly so others can sleep. 

Dear me:
Please figure out some way to sleep for more than two hours at a time.



And, of course, I'm not sleeping well at all.  The past few nights I've woken up and not been able to get back to sleep for hours...and then I'm up at 7:30 for no reason at all.  I don't want to get up and read or something, since I don't want to wake up Shannen, so I just sort of lay there...*sigh*

We have a practice performance of our monologues in Acting today.  We're supposed to be memorized, but as I didn't even start to until after i got back from the light hang last night, I have no idea how that's going to go...  I guess I'll just wing it.  It isn't our final performance, after all.

Sorry for all the complaining, but it's been a rough week.

Hmm...I'd nearly forgotten about this.   I really should post more... Let's see, what all has happened?  Well, mainly college, which has been a blast so far.  Well mainly.  I have found that girls can be pretty messy.  Especially whoever trimmed their bangs over the counter and got water and hair all over it.  Ick.  

Shannen and I are getting along really well, which is awesome.  I'm tagging along to another one of her ZTA get-togethers tonight...they did say people could bring friends :).  We'll see if they keep saying that when I continue showing up and yet show no interest in joining.  Haha.

I'm going home for Showcase this weekend.  I was really excited, but apparantly like no one else is coming home for it anymore.  They're all coming back for Homecoming, but that's the same weekend as one of our parents' weekends...so I have no idea what's going on there.  But showcase will be fun anyways, perhaps I can manage to grab a volunteer sticker and not have to pay :).  We'll see.

In other news, I'm really missing the Coxes.  It's probably because I know they're finally in the area, and I still haven't seen them.  They came to visit the first weekend after I'd left for college, too.  My mom had to tell them I'd already left.  But Tim will be over a year now...he might even be walking.  And Gregory is probably talking, and Rasha and Marcella and everyone will be soo big.  I wonder if the younger ones have Aussie accents? :D  Ahh...I need my small child fix :(.  That's another thing.  It's  gotten to the point where driving in a car and seeing small children or dogs is an odd experience.  Oh, college...

So I've realized this is a pretty crappy "come-back" post, but oh well...

So...saw it midnight on Thursday and haven't had time/alertness to post until now...  But anyways  I don't care what anyone says, I loved it.  But i'm realizing (at least right now, since those are what I remember best :) ) it might be just for the WE moments.  SOOOO GOOD!  They were well-played and it was awesome and everything else will go under a spoiler cut :P


In other news...Cappies is tomorrow..I hope thats fun.  AP's are over and yet all of my teachers are coming up with stupid projects that are driving me crazy!  Have yet to find a job.  I'm rather bored now, actually, after talking about pirates...:)  So that's it.

Yep. I got them skewered this morning with Erica. Anna and Mindy came, back Mindy didn't take her meds so she couldn't do it, and Anna chickened out changed her mind :P. It wasn't bad at all, it stung for a little after the fact, but when it actually happened it was just pressure.  But I have to twist them tonight...that's when it'll hurt.  So then we walked around the mall for a bit, had lunch, and went to see Shrek 3.  It wasn't bad, as far as...triquels...go.  I don't think it was as funny as the others, this one actually had a moral, but there were several theatre references that amused me.  And I thought that Sleeping Beauty was Belle for about half the movie and was really confused as to why she kept falling asleep. :)

So...this morning was my last AP Exam ever.  Muy exciting.  But I only got to come home for the rest of 5th period, I had to go back to 7th for theatre to work on our scene.  It's pretty much done, just have to work out the awkard snack bar moment.  Perhaps we'll just have Monica eat it.  Karah picked me up and we came in late so we could miss warm-ups.  People were a bit frazzled.  So it didn't help that we found a whole bucket of paint spilled backstage.  It was black, thankfully, so stageleft now has a fresh coat.  Needless to say, Ms. B wasn't amused.  

The next day or so is crazy, going to babysit my cousins tonight, but they're fairly good kids, I should be fine.  Tomorrow morning Erica, Anna, Mindy, and I and who knows who else are going to get ears/cartilage pierced/double pierced.  I'm a little nervous, but it should be fine.  Then we're grabbing lunch and going to see Shrek 3 *yay*.  I love the donkey-dragon babies.  Then on Sunday I have to work on my English project, and, of course, sometime get around to typing up my resume, finding a job, and deciding what classes to take next year, cleaning the house for and planning Anna and our grad party...Should be a fun weekend ;).

Well.  Long time, no posts, as usual.  I've got four more weeks of highscool and Pippin is over, but aside from that nothing much has changed.

Today and tomorrow all of the senior gov't classes are going to "Reality Store".  We were the first period to go and it was fairly amusing.  Better than timefilling classwork, anyway.  So we go into the media center and Erica, Tonny, and I end up with at a table with another girl and the proctor or whatever you call 'em.  The gist of it is that you pick a certain life situation and then have to balance you expenses.  It's supposed to teach you to value money and what you have to spend it on and teach us check-book balancing skills.  So I ended up divorced at 27 with a 3 and 6 yr-old making only $40,000 a year.  Needless to say I ended up in debt and had to get a second job.  But it was pretty fun.

Then we played cards in Stat and continued onto English where we had a semi-party and began watching Smoke Signals, which doesn't look half bad.  But I stayed for lunch, since I was stuffed already and Jordan and Cyndi weren't there and I would end up by myself.  So I chatted with Kate, Katherine, and Sam about cellphones, families and Kate's eyes until Mrs. Jackson came around and read everyone's palm out of the blue.  Apparantly I have a strong, loyal love life (yay) but I'll get married late (boo).  Not that I want to be married in like a year, but mid-twenties would be good.  Before I'm 30, hopefully.  And I also will have a long life, but will have a serious illness later on.  I'm fairly strong and one-track in business and I'm not very religious (true).  And I'll definitely have one kid, possibly three (hmmm).  True or not, it was interesting.

And then I went to drama and we worked on the scenes for dramapalooza and my group realized we're fairly ahead of everyone.  But then again, it's only me and Monica acting and our scene's much shorter than everyone else.  And Ms. B says I need to act more in control...which is kind of against how I interpreted my character.  Yeah, she's the older sister and she's much more logical, but I still see her as fairly passive and I think she would let her sister get away with such things, especially when their in the middle of the forest.  *sigh*  So we'll se what I do about that.

That's about it, the coincidences were just interesting...

So today I realized that I really like Anatomy.  And that Government and Human Geography are hard.  And  I think I might have picked where I'm applying to, but I have to talk with some people first...

We started the Languages unit today in Human Geog.  Ms. Cranford said that Celtic is close to dying out, which is sad.  But I think I'll like the unit.  I was a bit disappointed in the Cultures unit, I thought we'd go more in depth into the cultures of various regions, instead of just talking about the general idea of Folk vs. Pop culture.  *sigh*  Oh well.  We shall see, I suppose.

I talked to Cyndi alot today during Tech.  We weren't really eating during lunch, since we'd ordered pizza.  It was nice, though.  I feel like I haven't talked to her for a while, even though I see her every other day.  And she's finally realizing how obnoxious, gross, and immature Mitch is, which is a definite plus.

Well, I have Stat homework to do, and should probably read Heart of Darkness...however boring it looks to be, so ta, all!

Well, the major one's at least.  This friday was the last football game and Saturday was closing night for Mockingbird.  

Senior night was fun, though I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't worried about trying to make it to TKM in time (which by the way, I didn't.  I couldn't go on at all, but people still forced me to go out for the curtain call)  But I heard all the seniors pretty much broke off and danced the whole band show.  Wish I could have seen that.  But first and second quarter were fun, aside from Shamelle obnoxious friends who flipped us off because we made her sit with the rest of the guard.  Sooorry (&^#R&#$, obviously the ONLY reason you came to the game was to talk to her, and you obviously were never going to see her again after tonight and we were SO horrible to make you miss gossiping about stupid nonsense anyways.  Sorry for the sarcasm overload, but they really bothered me.

Closing night was really good.  I think Emma may have gotten a bit too squeaky, but we're all prone to overdo it a bit after we've performed a few times.  The football made it over the Radley house ( ;D ), and we only had few miniscule improv moment.s.  The cast party was pretty good, it was kind of boring while we waited for Ms. B.  But paper plates were fun, especially since we got to present them.   We jsut have to remember not to give Carly anything along the lines of "Ghetto Fab" for VHSL.

Strike was today, which meant several hours of lifting heavy wood, inhaling sawdust, and sorting through the costumes for the highest-priority-for-the-next-wash-load pieces.  And may I say that I hate those wigs.  They're disgusting!  

And with the end of TKM nd marching band, there go my excuses for procrastinating college applications.  *sigh*.  But let's not even get into that...

I don't really know what else to say, and Shiver time has finally changed, so toodleloo kids!  :P

*sigh* This week has been so crazy.  Which figures since it was Homecoming week.  And the teachers don't care and bog us all down with massive amounts of homework.

Powderpuff was sooooo much fun, I really wish I'd done it last year. But the juniors were so whiny.  I'm kind of glad that the parade and the game were canceled actually.  I mean, yea it sucks since it's our senior year, but it would have been miserable in all that rain.
The dance was fun, I guess.  It probably would have been better with a date.  And if I wasn't falling asleep at dinner :P.  Sorry Elizabeth.  At least it was at your house, and not some restaurant.  My dress was okay...I have mixed feelings about it, actually.
I'm so glad we don't have school tomorrow.  I now have to write a college application tomorrow, because of Mrs. Jackson.  >:-(  Along with everything else.  I really should start on the Human Geography project, too.  All I know is that Ella Van Dyne came over from Holland and married Justice Babcock.

And know I'm off to watch Desperate Housewives.  *Grin*

I'm posting? No. Way. *grin*


Anyways...there's no real point ot this post, just sort of a general update.

The drama carwash was yesterday.  That was...interesting.  Fun for a little bit, but kinda boring the rest of the timeJenn dumped a whole bucket of water on me right after I got there, so I was soaked for most of the time.  But we made over $500, so thats good.

There's an Act 1 colorguard workshop at the school today.  Marcus was supposed to email me the schedule, since I was considering going for the dance and saber parts.  But he didn't, so I'm here.  Which is okay, I suppose, since I would have had to pay for it and there isn't really a point since this is my last season.  Marcus also told me he really wishes I was doing winter, even though he understands why I'm not.  I guess he's trying to have a small, close group, like Linverno.  We'll see what happens with that...I'm excited for showcase this weekend.  I hope it's nice weather.  It'll be fun as long as it's not drizzling or whatever.

All the drama/gossip/etc has officially started, both in theatre and in guard.  There's not much I can do about the theatre part and I'll just have to convine the guard people that they have to leave it off the field.  Oh, and I cannot stand Catherine!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm sorry but she so annoying!  It's hard to explain, but if you had to go through a practice with her, you'd understand. 

Let's see...what else...oh.  We started dissecting the fetal pigs in anatomy.  I wasn't too worried, because I thought it'd be like biology in freshman year....Yea, I was wrong.  These one's are huge!  Like about to be born in a week huge.  'Jake' (as Janelle christened him) even has hair all over him.  But atleast there's enough gloves for each person this time.  In freshman year, we had 2 gloves between like, 8 people.

Oh yea, band group:  WE NEED TO HAVE A PARTY!  Soon.  When do we all have time?

Hmm...I think thats about all :D

"You...a favorite with [him]? You gifted with the power of pleasing him? You an importance to him in any way? Go! your folly sickens me. And you have derived pleasure from occasional tokens shown preference-equivocal tokens shown by a gentleman of family and a man of the world, to a dependent and a novice. How dared you? Poor stupid dupe? Could not even self-interest make you wiser? You repeated to yourself this morning the brief scene of last night? Civer your face and be ashamed! He said something in praise of your eyes, did he? Blind puppy. Open their bleared lids and look on you own accursed senselessness! It does good to no woman to be flattered by her superior, who cannot possibly intend to marry her; and it is madness in all women to let a secret love kindle within them, which, if unreturned and unknown, must devour the life that feeds it; and if discovered and responded to, must lead, {will-o'-the-wisp)-like into miry wilds whence there is no extrication."

Hehe, I love that quote. Though I don't know why I just typed it all out...Anyways, really need to finish the book. A cookie to anyone who can say where its from.

In other random news, did you know that after Sir Walter Raleigh was beheaded, his wife had his head embalmed and kept it with her? She'd often ask her guests "If they wished to see Walter..." *blink*

In other, other news, the Medici seem really interesting...I saw some discovery channel show on them last night...

In even other news, Mrs. Cox is supposed to have her baby any day now!!! *celebrates* I still vote for Adelaide, if its a girl. It's cute and fits well with the other names...

Ok, I'm done. :D
