First Real Rehearsal

Dude, I finished my first real rehearsal and it was fun. I have a whole monologue about horses now and I get to play a lot. Should be fun. The hardest part will be to get inside my own little world and stay there. I think at this point the only thing I find hard is the lack of energy among some of the actors. We went through this thing a million times it felt like and nothing really changed that much. So I guess that's the challenge for the director. Encouraging the actor to explore and play. Yeah, but I'm really excited about my part. We're trying to find an autistic person to talk to. Oh, and two members of the cast have autistic cousins. Kinda weird... I've never known of anyone with autism. Anywho, I'm about done with my css profile and fafsa. I've just got one more thing to get from my dad and I'm done!!! Wahoo!!! And the peasants cheer!!! :) I spent yesterday afternoon singing. It was so great. I think i'm finally getting over this whole sick thing. Vale!

Paper break

Yesterday was a long day. Class, reading, rotc, then mass, and more hw. I think mass was the hardest part of all of it. I sat there for the frist time and felt like I didn't belong. That I was loosing this community that i've been a part of for most of my life. I stood there and i couldn't say the words. I couldn't sing the songs. I came home and talked to Rachael about it for a while and we did some reading about things online. And by the end of it all Rachael and I knew that I had made a decision. Not because of rational facts, not out of pure curiosity, but because of what I feel in my heart. Based on my own relationship with G-d this was the only decision I could make. And now i don't know what to do next. I guess just start reading and talking about what my options are. At least G-d has stood by me through all of this. There's never been a doubt that I was loved and that in the end everything would be ok. Just another thing to be greatful for. It's funny though. I'm listening to the last five years. Has nothing to do with anything. It just fits me. Well back to my french paper. Vale!

Thursday Morning!

This morning the sun came up! I don't know why but every now and then i get excited about stuff like that. The weather is beautiful. I can't help but feel lucky for how I have been blessed so far in my life. I know I'm not the best about appreciating all the things I've been given. So right now I'm taking a moment to say thank you!!! Thank you all my friends for not getting annoyed and being there through all of my DRAMA! Thank you friends who live far away who haven't forgotten me! Thank you Josh for being so good at making me smile! Thank you God for being with me in my time of questions and doubt. I just want to say thanks to everyone in my life. I really am so very greatful. :)

Back, and better than ever!

So due to popular demand, and Jackie's incessant notes, I have decided to end the silence and begin posting here again! Sorry for the absence. I've been sick and oh so very busy. My history classes are keeping me more than just a little bit occupied. But I'm back at work, finally, which means I've got lots of time for blog posting lol. Seriously, the only time I write here is when I'm at work. Hopefully, I won't get another job that keeps me away from blogging lol. Yup, but things are great for the moment. I got cast in a show despite not auditioning... It's a staged reading of a student written piece and rather existential. Can you believe that I got type cast as an autistic child?? It's crazy! And now I have to do all this research on autisim because I don't much about it. Hmmmm... what else to write? Rousseau is fun?! I still don't talk in my history class. Mostly because I don't really have anything to say... I usually take in the information and then take my time processing it on my own. We'll see. It's strange though because I talk in my monasticism class, but that's mostly because no one else does! Oh and I'm learning french punctuation right now and it's so confusing. I'm never going to be able to use a semi-colon, etc. in english right now because I'll have the stupid french rules in my head!! Blah!!!! Anywho, maybe I'll go work or something? Vale!

Tired

You know when your head starts to hurt in your forehead when you haven't slept a lot? That's what I've got. I can't wait till i get off work at five. I'm going to take a nap, then read some rousseau and stuff bout early monasticism and then I'm going back to sleep! Oh, i might eat something at some point... lol. It's funny to be so tired but still in a pretty good mood lol. I just can't dance as much as I'd like to :>) Anywho, gotta get back to work! Vale!

New Ok Cupid Test

From The Sonnet to:

The Window Shopper
Random Gentle Love Dreamer

Loving, hopeful, open. Likely to carry on a romance from afar. You are The Window Shopper.

You take love as opportunities come, which can lead to a high-anxiety, but high-flying romantic life. You're a genuinely sweet person, not saccharine at all, so it's likely that the relationships you have had and will have will be happy ones. You've had a fair amount of love experience for your age, and there'll be much more to come.

Part of why we know this is that, of all female types, you are the most prone to sudden, ferocious crushes. Your results indicate that you're especially capable of obsessing over a guy you just met. Obviously, passion like this makes for an intense existence. It can also make for soul-destroying letdowns.

Your ideal match is someone who'll love you back with equal fire, and someone you've grown to love slowly. A self-involved or pessimistic man is especially bad. Though you're drawn to them, avoid artists at all costs.

Paper woes...

Ok so i'm about to start page four of my paper and i've already covered two of the three main points of my paper. I mean i know the third point is the biggest by far but I don't think it's four pages worth. And he wants this thing 1.5 spaced! Hahahahaha... don't think that's gonna happen... One of my two sources is just too small. And I don't like to give millions of examples in las casas that all say the same thing... I'm gonna have to start using more examples though to get through all of this... i don't have any huge block quotes so that at least is looking good. My french is abismal though. Gonna need some crazy amounts of editing more than likely. Well i should stop procrastinating and get crackin'. Vale!

Another paper!

Yeah, so I'm starting work on my french paper that I am determined to make better than my history paper that I got a B- on. Blah! It's the lowest grade I've gotten since I got here and I'm annoyed. It could have been so much better. I knew it was crap when I turned it in. Too many quotes and nothing to say about them... And I spent all this time on Petrarch because I'm in love with him and I got all distracted. Blah. So I'm gonna meet with the teacher and talk about it. Yeah, but I should have spent another day on it. I was so tired though I didn't have enough time to fix it. But this paper has to be in french. it's gonna be disatrous. i'm planning a day just for french editing. Anywho, must get to it. vale!

Library Lethargy

Why does the Reg. have the power to put me in such a robot like stupor?! Blah, I'm getting way too good at this dumb job. I usually have over an hour till kill after each cart because I finish so early. I mean I could go and get another one to do but they don't care how much we do and don't expect us to come back before 30min per shelf elapses. So end up on a computer doing nothing... Blah!

Begining of Spring Break!

Wahoo!!! It's spring break... Doesn't really feel like it because I really ought to work all week since I'm really broke because of this study abroad deposit I have to pay. Right now I'm thinking about strategizing about the best way to ask my parents for money to help pay for Paris... Nothing amazing has come to mind yet but I'll think of something. It's just weird because they don't help me out at all since I'm here. Both of them practically forgot my birthday and my mom flat out said if she got me anything it wouldn't be anytime soon cuz she's broke from just moving and all the travel with work. That and I really don't want their help. I mean is that so weird? I like doing things myself if I can and I think I could almost swing it if I didn't have to go to field training this summer. I have all this stuff I have to get for field training that I can't afford and then I don't get to work for a month! Thank you Air Force! So we have to ask the folks! Maybe, I'll write them a letter! That could work! A letter! Hmmm... Oh and also I have to write a french paper this week because I didn't have time at the end of the quarter and it's not due till monday of next quarter and being the true procrastinator I am,I haven't done it. I plan on researching tonight and start writing tomorrow. That's the hope! Well I should get back to work or something. Vale!

Birthday Reflections

I had a really great b-day (granted I was tired as all crap because I stayed up all night writing a paper) but I got to go out to eat mexican food (we all know how much i LOVE tacos!) with Josh, Rachael and Brian. It was just so nice to get out of BJ! I had 26 people wish me a happy birthday on the facebook this year! It's funny hearing from people you haven't talked to in at least two years... I also got a box of random fun stuff from my grandma C., an embroidery book/dessert extravaganza from rachael, and a really nifty kite with two strings that does tricks and stuff and kite tatoos from Josh! Everything was just great.

Today I had to go to the housing office twice to get this form stuff straightened out since kate's gonna be my roomie again. I'm talking to her about moving to the inner room so I don't have to worry about people walking through so much when Josh comes over. She sounds like she should be cool with it. Tonight, rachael, brian, and I all met and ate our last meal in the dining hall for a while and then went downtown to the giant borders and got ice cream at ghiradelli's afterwards (i really do love their rasberry sundays!). Tomorrow rachael and I go to brian's for spring break (he's going home to colorado and is letting us use his apt. for the week) and we actually have to go back to our borders to get something I just thought of ;) It should be fun! Then Josh and I are hanging out in the evening. Lots to look forward to! :) Vale!

Here're a picture of my new kite!

paper break!

I finished Petrarch and the peasants cheered!!! Hahahahahahahaha!! I've also already finished Bruni. You've gotta love people who sum up their entire paper in the conclusion, so you only have to quote from the end to everything you want to say from them. Now we're headed for Guarino. He shouldn't take too long and then we hit machiavelli (the prince and the discourses, this is gonna take forever) and if I get really ambitious Castiglion's the Courtier (which i never even finished reading...) I might cuz castiglione. With both machiavellis i'll have 5 sources which was the goal. I'm listening to a fun poppy song to clear my head. Typing makes my brain hurt lol. Back to work i guess. Vale!

Ides of March!

Blah!!! Paper! I'm writing in the freakin' library?!

Wonderful Day

Today, was such a nice day. The weather was amazing!! I worked out with ROTC this morning and then I went downtown with Rachael, Brian, and Melinda to see the river which was died green today for the St. Patrick's day parade. We missed the Parade because of my ROTC thing but we had fun seeing the river. Then we all went to Chipotle for lunch which was kinda a mad house but fun nonetheless. Then we walked around a bit and they ditched me for the house bowling trip. I love my house, I love my friends, but I REALLY hate bowling lol. Why? I have no idea. That and I really needed to go home and write a paper and I though with all of them gone it would be easier to get work done. Anywho, after they left I walked up michigan avenue and bopped around a bit. Then i went to the giant borders and as per usual I spent way too much time there. This time was particularly bad because I didn't have a watch with me... So I spent at least a few hours there skimming through books. I bought a french vocab book to help me get ready for paris!!! There were at least three other books I almost bought but I pulled out a little bit of self control. Afterwards, I skipped to the train (gotta love remembering to bring your ipod for they way home). I waited forever for the 55 like usual and then walked home nice and slow as the sun was going down. Now, it's probably just wishful thinking, the nice weather, and seeing so much green that's messing with my head but I swear the grass on campus looked a little bit green on my way home!! I stopped by bart mart thinking to get something small for dinner but they didn't have anything I wanted so I pranced home mouthing the words to all the songs I was listening too. It was fun watching the wind play with my St. Patrick's day cat in the hat style hat. It was just like a wind sock and soooo much fun to play with. Anywho, I'm home now and ordered dinner from the med. which should be here soon. It was such a nice slow day... Almost as good as taking my puppies for a nice long walk.

Paris!!!

I'm going to Paris!!! Well only if I take french 205 next quarter and get a B or better. I can't blame them I mean I had to take my last french class pass/fail which never looks good. But I can do it!! I'm going to Paris!!! I can't believe it!! alksdjfl;askdjf;laskdjf;lasdkjf!!!!

rain

I really love the smell of rain. I've been sitting in the entrance of mathews just listening to the rain--the smell, the sound,it reminds me of home. Of the summer when it would rain everyday in the afternoon. I remember running out in the rain barefoot and walking for over an hour with my radio--getting soaking wet and coming home, wrapping myself in blankets, and watching a movie. I hate how you can't hear the rain in the dorm. I also remember how I used to go ride my bike for hours in the rain. I really liked how I could go out in the rain and just listen and there was no one around to distract me. Spinning in the rain! If only it were a bit warmer! I got to play in the rain this summer once, but not for very long. It only rained maybe three times this summer and it made me sad.

PPD

I have no play rehearsal tonight... Blah, I really didn't want this play to be over. When I got home from the cast party saturday night a spent a lot of time talking to rachael about all the little things I put into my character that no one noticed but me. From what I was writing on my post-its to the phone's movement/choreography. I remember in my high school drama class discussing the idea of a character's inner monologue but I'd never been in a show where I actually got to do that until now. I mean since it was all monologues there was a lot of time where Violet was changing and growing while other people where talking and I had all of her thoughts in my head. This play was a really amazing experience for me. Now all I can do is sit and wait until auditions next quarter. Hopefully, something will happen. As far as reactions to the show, everyone I talked to really liked the show as a whole. Most agreed it was very well put together and that the acting was great :) It was such a confusing show and it didn't really have an ending which unsettled some people. But all in all people enjoyed it. I met this one kid who came every night, and understood something different for all three nights. Well I'm sick of thinking about this play now. It's over. Yeah, so I've got three papers to write and one exam, and this quarter is over baby!! Oh and we're going to go see the Last Five Years on my birthday!!!! Wahoo!!!

One down, two to go!

Ok so the first show went rather well. The only major disaster was my platform that was rocking like crazy. Throughout the show that's all I was thinking about. I can't believe I didn't go and check out my space before the show... but oh well it's over and the audience didn't even notice. I really nailed my random word monologue and the migration monologue but again the phone calls were lacking. But hopefully, magic will happen tonight and tomorrow and the peasants will cheer!!! Oh and Rachael came last night and brought me flowers which was soooooooo sweet and put up with me while i ranted about how much i suck and all the crazy things that went wrong that only i knew about . The real kick was my lack of connection with the audience. Violet is in her own little world and so i completely forgot the audience was there. Anyways, stuff to do. Vale!

AAAHHHHHHHHH

THE PLAY OPENS TOMORROW!!!!!!! OMG!! IT'S GONNA BE SOOOOOOO MUCH FUN! I HOPE... LENT STARTS TODAY! GUESS WHO'S PUMPED ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF ONE AWESOME MASS WITH THE CARDINAL!!! ANYWHO, OFF TO REHEARSAL!!! PEOPLE, COME SEE POODLE WITH GUITAR AND DARK GLASSES THIS THURS., FRI., AND SAT. AT 8PM IN THE REYNOLD'S CLUB 1ST FLOOR THEATER!!!! ALLKJFOAERUOIUADSFKJAS;KJF;LJ!!!!!!

It Begins

Lent begins in a few days and I just started reading in this lenten prayer book. It's nice to have things like this to remind yourself what Lent is all about. For those of you who don't know, or have forgotten, the three pillars of lent are prayer, almsgiving, and fasting. So I'm trying to incorporate all three of these things into my lenten plan. Here it is so far:

~Friday Fasting
~Set aside time for prayer everyday (and use my lent prayer book!)
~Read Bible everyday (I think I'm going to go back to the new testament this year)
~Volunteer (I already e-mailed Father Pat about this already and he gave me a few ideas. He really wants me to sing in the choir...)
~Rosary on Sundays (Goes along with the prayer part)
~Love more, show love, be supportive of those around me, make someone smile everyday
~Spend time listening everyday (we all know my mouth gets away from me on a daily basis. But how can I hear God if I never shut up?!)

So that's the plan. It's a bit ambitious but I think I can do it. And I think I'm going to start now as a sort of warm-up for lent! Wish me luck!

:)

Yeah, so I just finished Q2Q and it was waaaaaaaaay shorter than you'd expect. (Q2Q for you non-theatre folk is when you go through the show and just run every light cue, sound cue, etc. and it takes forever!!!) The longer we went the sillier I got which was a bit problematic but it happens. Yesterday was a fun day. I played hookey from work (although technically I still had strep throat...) and went to Bio. Then I found Rachael and dragged her downtown with me. We went to the bank and then Argo Cafe (They have the most amazing tea!!). Then we walked around a little, and went to target. Nothing really special but it was fun hanging out with Rachael. I haven't seen her much cuz I've been so busy lately. Then we goofed off and went to dinner and then went and saw R&G which was amazing by the way. I hope our show is that good. Yeah, so now I'm just killing time because I thought Q2Q would take longer and I don't know what time I should get on the bus to meet Josh... I'll just have to play it by ear me thinks! Vale!

I was one busy little bird today!

So much stuff to do! Anywho, I went to ren. humanism, then went over blocking with cassie, got food (cuz classics was closed cuz there's mold or something), ran into a protest being led by a bunch of my naked theater friends, went to french class and almost fell asleep a bajillion times, then I went to the co-op book store to buy a book i need for a paper because the copy i have from the reg. has been recalled, then i went and PTed with lindsey and gabe, then i got dinner, and now i'm here killing time before the colman run :( I don't quite understand why the hell she has to see the show or what this is for but whatever. I'm gonna be a birdie and it's gonna be fun! Although the latter half of the play isn't as much fun. Oh and I have a sore throat! I'm so sick of chicago, literally! I've been sick at least 4 times this quarter and it's getting kinda rediculous! Blah! Sorry, I just really needed to rant lol. Now I'm better! OMG!! Google's picture today has people curling!!! That's pretty awesome. I have to say I found curling pretty funny and a lot more intense than you'd think. I especially liked this asian team because they sounded so funny when they were yelling to each other. I think I could be a broom person. I've got plenty of sweeping experience from working in restaurants, etc! Maybe one day... Well I'm gonna go do some reading or something.

I'm a dork!

Yeah so when I got into the cage for work I took of my coat and realized that I got chocolate all over my shirt from the chocolate chip muffin I ate for breakfast. How I managed this is a mistery! Ahhhhh Pride and Prejudice soundtrack! Anyways, still killing time at work. I just remembered that UT comittee elections are at six today and three people in my show are running so I have to go vote! Vale!

#243

Can you believe I have almost 250 blog posts?! Lots of wasting time in the library I guess... lol. Yeah, so I don't have rehearsal tonight!!! Wahoo!! I'm gonna sleep! That's the plan anyways and read some Praise of Folly. So my play opens next week! I have an appointment to meet with Cassie to really cement my blocking. I think the problem is that I get so into Violet that I just forget about everything else. That and I have the most blocking for the entire show although I might be tied with Fuscia. I've never had such blocking problems though which is annoying. Anywho, two hours of work and then nap!! Oh, and rasberry tea is awesome. Oh yeah, Rachael and my tea party study break last night was fun and a sucess. They ate everything! And we had a lot of food! I forgot to take a picture of my petits fours. Oh well... Yeah but what did I learn from the adventure that was petits fours? I learned that fondant is a pain to work with and messy as hell! lol. I gave up with it less than half way through and just put butter cream on the rest. Oh and I accedentally put almond extract in half of them instead of lemon and then i spilled the ENTIRE bottle of lemon extract which made Rachael sad so I have to buy her more. Well off to work!

P.S. Petits Fours means little ovens in case you were wondering!

We all knew it!

lerrrrrrrrrrrrr

Yeah, so I'm at the library killing time like usual. It's so bright out today! I want to go outside now. I'm actually going to go to Bio. today!!! I haven't been in a week which i guess isn't so great but I always fall asleep in that class when I do go and he always lets us out late! My room is still clean which is kinda crazy... Yesterday, we got to spend some time with Cassie talking to her about what sorts of things we want to do for the next few weeks. I can't believe this show goes up in a few weeks. Tonight I'm meeting Harriet to run lines and catching up on a bunch of reading and sleeping!! Oh sleep! What an idea? I went to bed relatively early last night, round 12:30. I don't know why I'm talking about this. My mind has been spinning about all sorts of things lately and yet I never seem to get any of that out here. Eh, oh well. Vale.

Rachael is a silly person!

She sent me a singing valentine!? She kept talking about how I should be around the dorm thursday evening but she couldn't remember why. I remember being suspicious of this request the first time I heard it but Rachael can be silly and forget things so I laughed it off and of course forget all about it. Once, I remember her mentioning it and I told her it was probably going to be an alien abduction and the aliens were telling her to tell me and weren't allowing her to remember lol. So when she told me to come because maybe the aliens would show up today I ignored her because I was hungry and went to dinner instead and refused to wait until 6:30 like she wanted. not only that, I took my time at dinner! I spent forever at dinner lol and then I come back and a few minutes later all of "Unaccompanied Women" shows up to sing me a valentine! lol. There were like 10 of them or something! It made me laugh though. So thank you Rachael! lol. (I can be really stubborn sometimes lol even when someone is doing something sweet for me! Sorry bout that!)

Blah I've been tagged! I'm not doing this on my silly LJ cuz blogs are soooooo much better!

Ground Rules: The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 weird habits of yourself" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about their 5 weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged.

1. When i'm sitting anywhere with socks on I rub my feet together. It has nothing to do with being cold or anything and it used to drive my sister crazy!!

2. I have to set at least two alarms and it can't be an even number sorta. Well it can be even but it can't end in a 0 or 5 and it can't have any kind of balance! For example 5:27 works, 7:02 works, 4:13 works, but 3:23 doesn't, 4:04 doesn't, you get the idea. Oh and I've been shying away from 01 times too lately. So 4:01 hasn't worked lately. Why? I have no clue!

3. I clean my ears often. I can't stand for there to be water in my ears if it didn't come from the ocean or something natural. So after I take a shower I have to get the water out of my ears cuz it bothers me!

4. I take flinstones vitamins because I wasn't taking my vitamins before because I don't wake up early enough to remember to go get water to take a vitamin. This is funny because I used to make fun of Jackie for taking Flinstones but they have almost all the same stuff as my other multi-vitamin.

5. I can't sleep unless it's absolutely dark. And I have to remind myself of this, because I'll sit there staring at the little bit of light that comes in from the window for over an hour before I'll realize that I'm not sleeping.

6. Because Bridgette almost had the same number five! I like to touch trees. I'll be walking along and go out of my way to touch a tree just because. Or I'll spin around trees. Why? They're trees... This makes me want to climb a tree. I've been wanting to do this for a few weeks lol.

Blah, that was hard!! So I'm tagging Brian Hinkle, PJ, Seth, Jason Goodson (I'm not sure if you read this but I can't think of anyone else who has an online journaly thing), and whoever else reads this thing that I don't know about lol (Damn you I don't write notes on blogs people! and I know you're out there!! Rachael and Jackie!! You can do yours in a note on my Blog or on the facebook!)

grrrrrr!!!

I've had the hic-ups (Sp?!) all day and it's starting to really drive me crazy!!!

@ work

It's been a good music day at the library. Lots of swing and soft things with just a dash of silliness here and there. Yesterday was quite the busy day. I had class all day and it was beautiful out! I just sat there in french class staring at the midway out the window. Oh, I cleaned my room yesterday!!! Vacuumed, swept, the whole nine yards! Then I went to rehearsal and screwed up a bit of my blocking, but I'm getting there. We invaded R&G's rehearsal as ninjas and it was amazingly fun. I'm sure they're going to try and retaliate but they're never going to be as cool as us ninjas! I climbed into the theater through the window (I hurt my shin in the process but it's all good). Lets see... Then I hung out with Josh for the rest of the evening. We got hot chocolate and wondered around Hyde Park au pied. It was a lot of fun and we got to visit the Vicking and M. Linné. Then, I bothered Rachael for a few hours (We watched my taped episod of Gilmore Girls lol) and went to bed really late. I then proceeded to wake up super early to PT with lindsey at 7am. Afterwards, I took a long nap lol and came to work at one. Well gtg. Vale!

This is random! (I think i fixed it!)

Let's go fly a kite!

I want to go fly a kite now! This song just came on my shuffle! Gotta love Mary Poppins lol.

With tuppence for paper and strings
You can have your own set of wings
With your feet on the ground
You're a bird in a flight
With your fist holding tight
To the string of your kite

Oh, oh, oh!
Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite!

When you send it flyin' up there
All at once you're lighter than air
You can dance on the breeze
Over 'ouses and trees
With your first 'olding tight
To the string of your kite

Oh, oh, oh!
Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Let's go fly a kite!

La de da!

So I noticed yesterday that I haven't really written anything on here in a while. I just finished my cart at the library more than an hour early. I have no idea how that happened but now I have time to kill. Lets start with today. I slept in this morning because I stayed up really late last night. I was talking to Rachael and Brian and then when I got to my own room I just wasn't tired so I cleaned off my desk a bit. I think I might clean my room all the way when I get home and wash my sheets. Oh I re-filled my shuffle because the music on it was driving me absolutely crazy. Every now and then autofill just doesn't do a good job of finding what I want to listen to. Yeah, so it's been a preey uneventful day so far. I've got lots of reading to do tonight. And I still don't have a paper topic!! Eeekk~~!! It'll happen. Blah, I'm even boring myself now! I'll write more later when I have something to say. Vale!

I had a really wonderful day today (well i guess it was yesterday now). I should to go to sleep now...

It's 9 something and all I have to do is edit!!

Paper=Done!! Must edit. It's light outside?! Haven't seen morning light in long time... ate breakfast! Wahoo!

I DON'T WANT TO WRITE THIS PAPER!!!! BIO. SHOULD DIE!!!!

Finally feeling better, sort of...

So I woke up feeling better. I started to get out my stuff for ironing for ROTC and I decided to go to the dining hall for breakfast instead of waiting to eat after I had my uniform on. So I went into the dining hall and all the smells hit me like a ton of bricks. I managed to eat some hash browns and a little apple sauce. I was feeling so bad afterwards I ended up not going to ROTC and sleeping all day. I was up all last night finishing my personal statement for my study abroad app. Rachael helped me edit it and it was a bit of a disaster lol. She added like a million commas. But it's finished now! So all I have to do is my resume and I'm finished!!! Vale!

I've passed the throwing up phase!

Yeah, so I didn't go to class or work today. I woke up at like 1:30. I was up all night with a splitting head ache. I still haven't eaten anything. I'm supposed to wait until I'm hungry. So we've been sipping water and flat watered down ginger ale. Blah. I'm writing my study abroad application right now. It's going... Blah! Well gotta migrate!

oh yeah

it was sunny otday and i didn't even get to enjoy it

Damn the world!

I'm sick... aGAIN!!! I'VE been throwing up since six pm. But i've been feeling sick all day so I didn't really eat anything all day except a breakfast bar. So i've been throwing up water which, let me tell you, is unpleasant. Rachael's been staying with me and we already called the doctor on call. They think I have the stomach flu... Now I'm making Rachael read me one of my favorite books, It's funny cuiz she can't pronounce all the irish names! Oh and I have a paper due tomorrow that I haven't written. I don't think it's gonna happen. I e-mailed my professor asking for an extension. Maybe he'll take pity on my poor soul. Vale!

At work and not working!

So I've been shelving books and listening to my lines that I recorded last night. I definetly need to sit down and play with each of these monologues individually. It was really neat though to hear all my monologues back to back to back. You get a better feel for the progression. It occured to me that Violet never gets angry. I think I might try and change that. There's one moment in particular that I've been playing sort of dispairing and freaking out. But I think she could get a bit angry there. And I think I've got a pretty good hold on most of it except the random word monologue, the song, and the last two phone calls. I think I need to talk to Cassie again. Cuz with the telephone calls in particular, I don't think what we had in mind originally is really working. I don't know why I'm writing about this here. You have no idea what I'm talking about. I just have to write things down sometimes. That's why I have like five or more journals lol. I didn't sleep much last night. I'm not really broken up about it though. I've got a lot of reading to do this weekend and a bio. paper to write. Well break's over. Vale!

I didn't know what to say...

So this guy I've been randomly talking to online lately just sent me a message apoligizing for not talking to me lately because his grandfather died. I just didn't know what to say. No I've ever known has died. I really don't know what I would do or how I would handle it. And for the first time I really didn't know what to say...

Been busy

What began as a very ambitious quarter has been trimmed down to only three classes + ROTC. It's been nice because the workload seems manageable for the moment and I have the time to really throw myself into my classes. I have time to do extra research on things that pricked a part of my brain. It's been really nice. Oh btw, I LOVE Petrarch. I finished his "the Ascent of Mt. Ventoux" and "on his own ignorance" a week ago and they were amazing. Petrarch seems like a lively passionate sort of fellow. He made me laugh and think and has now contributed four different quotes to my facebook profile. They were both part of The Renaissance Philosophy of Man that we are reading for my renaissance humanism class. For the first time we're raising questions and such that I hadn't thought too much about before. I'm almost tempted to be a philosophy major because that's the part I like the most so far. But we were talking about why the humanists thought we studied history. I can't say I found a sufficient answer. Some said we studied it to contextualize and better understand the bible, others because history repeats itself so we should read it to be able to make more informed decisions. That's always the ones that history teachers give. I can't say that either of those are the reason I study history. I think my love of history was rooted in my fascination with people. I love to watch people, to understand why they make certain decisions, etc. I think it stemmed from my inability to understand my irrational parents--particularly my mother! And I generally like people. I think we're amazing fascinating creatures and it only seemed natural to read about things people had done, what they believed in, how they interacted with each other, etc. But even this explanation seems too simple. Perhaps I like to study history because it helps me understand how the world I live in got to where it is now. Perhaps, I wanted to understand myself better so I read about other people that had similar beliefs, etc. The thing that amazes me is the diversity you can find. History may repeat itself but it does so in so many different ways! You can see it most strikingly with the ancient cultures. They were so cut off from one another that they could go off in their own direction without being influenced. I mean look at the Egyptians, Sumerians, Minoans, Chinese, early Americas, Incas, etc. All so very different!!! But today we seem to be loosing those unique fun differences. With a global exchange of ideas and information we begin more and more to look, think, and act the same. I don't know what I'm talking about really. Thoughts seem to spill out of my head. But for the first time I have time for thoughts to spill out!!

I noticed today that I tend to zone out a lot. I was in French class today and realized not once but a couple times that what I was thinking about had nothing to do with the lecture. And I started thinking about how often I do this. In rehearsal I often have to be brought out of my thoughts and the same for when I'm walking anywhere. I drift off and then someone will say hi to me and I may or may not even notice. It's such a jarring feeling too. To be woken out of an almost dream. Then I thought about how it would feel to be constantly in that state. To be moving about the world all the time lost in another place in your mind. It reminded me of a book I read. Basically the evil stepmother casts a spell on her stepchildren turning all six boys into swans. The sister escaped and has to make a shirt for each one of them out of this stinging plant. But she herself is about to be burned as a witch by some other people when she hasn't quite finished the sleeve on the last shirt. So this last brother was doomed to walk that in-between line. He was human with the wing of a swan and lived in a place between being human and swan. I sometimes wonder if that could happen to me if I didn't have someone to bring me back.

Feeling Better!!

So it seems I was a bit sicker than I realized.. When I was on my way to Bio on Wed. I managed to spill hot chocolate all over myself without realizing it and was having trouble staying on the side walk for some reason. I think i was dehidrated. Anywho, I managed to feel better enough yesterday to go to ROTC and rehearsal. OMG!!! I got a new space! New blocks to play with and a phone!! It was soooooooooooooo much fun. I was sorta exploring the space to see how many different ways I could fit my body into it. Then I played with the phone a lot. Calling numbers with my nose, spinning the receiver with my foot, and other random silliness. Cassie had to tell me to tone it down cuz it was distracting lol. I was just in a bit of a silly mood because I'd been cooped up so long from being sick. And today I have work and my character meeting!! Wahoo!!! I'm excited. I have so much to talk to cassie about. I think what i'm really struggling with is how Violet got to the begining of the story and what she does all day. Well hopefully wonderfulness will happen at the meeting and we'll all be able to celebrate! Anywho, back to work! Oh and Rachael and I are going to Steppenwolf tonight! Wahoo!

: (

I'm sick. Stuffy nose, headace sick. Blah on the world!!! I hate kleenex. I never used to get sick. Those were the days. Then i moved up north and bam, sick all the time!! lkasjdfl;kasjdf;laksjdf!!!

Pain! Lots of Pain!

OMG!!!! Yoga can die! I'm in soooooo much pain today. The lower half of my body would like to curl up and die right now. It's my own darn fault for not doind anything in so long. Blah on the world!!!

I didn't sleep at all last night!

Ok, so I had work at 8am today!! Blah! And I couldn't get to sleep last night because I was thinking about Violet and I had, in short, a major revelation that I immediately had to write down. I thought I would share it since I thought it was important enough to loose sleep over. Well it began with an excercise we did in rehearsal. Cassie had us interview each other in character. Where are you from, what do you do during the day, what do like to eat for breakfast, etc. Well I, like an idiot, hadn't really read the script in a while and had forgotten a lot of info about Violet like the the fact that she's an orphan!!! So when I was asked where I was from, where my parents lived, etc. I made up some BS about how they lived on the other side of new york and that I didn't really see them often since they lived so far away. I went on to talk about how I went to community college because it was cheaper and I was paying my own way through etc. because I wanted to assert some independence and not be burden on my parents. This all sounded fine and dandy but she's an orphan. We're all orphans!!! But what if Violet would lie about her parents? Violet longs for a flock, community, human contact. She wants people to like her. So she probably would lie about her parents being alive to make herself seem more normal and then maybe people would like her. That and she doesn't want people to pity her she wants people to like her. I think Violet has a huge fantasy life pervades all aspects of her life, including her work. I think she really believes that she's helping people by directing them to the right person to call. But what if in a moment she realizes that she really isn't helping anyone? That she's getting the same problems over and over and nothing changes, nothing ever gets better. I think that's when she retreats even farther into her fantasies and that's when she convinces herself that she's a bird. Birds always have a community, they help each other, they're not selfish, no one is ever alone or hurting. You don't have to think or make decisions. I also think that although she really wants a community, someone to care about her and to share things with, she's really shy and afraid of people. She's always been alone and so I think she just doesn't know how to socialize with others. Maybe that's why she works at home. At home she's in her own space. She doesn't have to be reminded every day how awkward and lonely she is. So I think I've decided that Violet is an escapist. Well more later. For now back to work!

I like to think that I haven't changed because if I haven't changed then I'm still in control. I can't recall very many, if any, concious changes and so they must have happened despite myself, without my permission. Not that I think it's bad that I have changed. In fact I look at the person I am now and the person I once was and it makes me smile and want to cry, all at the same time. Today we were playing a bunch of improv games in rehearsal and I realised that I was never able to do that before. I've also come to realise that I don't do things just because I'm supposed to anymore. I used to work hard in school because that's what I was supposed to do. No my parents never pressured me and no they never explicitly said this is what we want but I think deep down I did it to make their lives easier and to make them proud of me. And I accomplished both of these goals. But now I'm in college and for the first time I'm spending the time to really think about why I do things like theatre, school work, etc. Things that were once just a give in. I'm sad though because there's so much going on that I've lost something of myself. The part of me that could just sit and stare at a bunch of swishing trees for hours, totally enraptured by the world that I found myself in. Now when I walk I'm mostly bouncing around or dancing to my music. It's not a bad thing it's just different. Sometimes I remember. At odd moments I remember. I feel really happy here and I really don't feel like I deserve it. If only I could stay in school forever. Good night.

Sleep

I've been sleeping a lot lately. i really like my classes and still I don't really feel motivated. I'm in a play which is exciting. But I haven't really been able to work on it like I would like. I had a dream that's been bothering me. I've been having lots of dreams lately. I don't remember them for long. But they're there. Anyways, one of them just seemed like one of my normal mixed up thought sorta dreams. But there was a moment when i was with someone i know (this is weird because people I know are almost never in my dreams but sometimes i'll put someone i know only a little, that reminds me of this person i don't know in my dream, so that they will have a face and i think that's what happened this time). I got so caught up in the implications of this particular person being in my dream that it took me half a day to recognize the feeling that I had when i saw this person. It's a feeling that I've only ever had once. Toward one other faceless person in another dream when i was in 9th grade. I used to remember that dream so well. Every detail, ever movement, and now all I remember are shadows and one very distinct feeling that was also in the dream i had the other night. I don't know why I'm going on and on about this. But it was a feeling that I've never had in real life before. I'm breaking all the rules by talking about this. I have rules about saying things out loud or writing them. But I finally made myself write about that dream in ninth grade so it seems only fitting that I write about this one too... I'm just a little lost right now. Vale.

Post Readthrough Bounciness!

Ok, so the read through was soooooo amazing! I love my part. I'm just sad that I don't get to worship the poodle too. It could have been fun. Anywho, I have lots of birdie fun, a song (with no melody we'll see what to do with that later...), and I have to kiss this kid named Joal. I don't know how I feel about this. I've never had to do a kiss on stage. But it doesn't really bother me too much. I was so happy she found her flock. I have so much to think about and questions to ask. I went and got a Violet journal to write all my thoughts and etc. in it concerning the play. Anywho, Rachael and I are watching pride and prejudice (the old one) right now. Well Vale!

I'm still glowing!

Oh I just can't believe it. I don't know why she cast me. i was so afraid I was going too over the top. And when I went into the call back she said "and you're janice right...?" I mean she really had no idea who I was etc. I'm just so excited. I think Violette (I like the french spelling better! even though that may or may not be the actual french spelling. I should really look that up. I just like the ette words!) is going to be something really fun that I'll be able to play with. But still. I only got called back for one thing and I actually got it... I think it's because I put all of my energy into one show instead of trying to do all of them. i actually didn't even bother to try out for will fulton's show. I was just tired and not in the mood. It all worked out in the end though. I can't wait for the read through this sunday. I really should go to sleep but I'm just not even a little bit tired. I've been hanging out with Rachael all evening doing absolutely nothing. Just watching a lot of TV and reading and talking... Maybe I'll be productive and do some reading or something... Vale!

I got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!! I GOT THE PART!!!!!!!!! I'M GOING TO BE VIOLETTE!!!!!! THE BIRD LADY IN A POODLE WITH GUITAR AND DARK SUNGLASSES!!!!! HERE'S THE MONOLOGUE THAT GOT ME THE PART!!!!!

(Violet is a young woman, 19 - 35, living alone in a small New York City apartment. Jerry is one of her neighbors and has just walked in on her standing atop her desk, pretending to fly.)

JERRY: Where you headed?
VIOLET: South.
JERRY: How come?
VIOLET: It's a migratory thing. You wouldn't understand.
JERRY: But I'm interested. Explain it to me. What gets you going?
VIOLET: Well. You get a feeling. It's hard to explain. You get restless. How it starts, you can't shut up. You chatter compulsively: chatter, chatter, chatter. Everybody else is feeling the same; everybody crowds together, chattering away: "what's happening-what's up-whaddaya wanna do-I dunno-I'm feelin' jumpy-how you feel-hey hey hey hey hey" and the noise of everybody chattering at once gets louder and louder and louder - this part can take days.
JERRY: Sounds nerve-wracking!
VIOLET: Oh, you bet. Next thing, you can't sit still. You start diving off your branch and swooping around and you don't know why. You feel like you're out of control, like there's this huge force that's pulling at you and you don't know what and you don't know where but you can't stay still. It's kind of exciting. You heart's going bip-bip-bip-bip-bip, and you can't think at all; your mind's completely absent, you're just a single focused burning sensation of I gotta move. And you're all feeling it together, you're all diving and swooping and chattering and with every dive and swoop you're getting more in sync, beginning more and more to move as one, drawing together from a ragged cloud of individuals into The Flock and it all comes together on an instant as you dive and instead of returning to the branches the swoop takes you back up and higher, higher, everyone finding their place in the formation - oh, you can't imagine what a feeling that is, to know your place in the formation

AND HERE'S THE SUMMARY OF THE SHOW!!!!

Poodle With Guitar and Dark Glasses Synopsis
Poodle with Guitar and Dark Glasses, written by Liz Duffy Adams in 2001, follows four nights in the lives of five individuals who are striving to rediscover the purpose to their lives. Fuchsia (F) is a romance novelist who has lost control over her novel's main character. Jade (F) is a painter who has lost touch with her creative side. Gray (M) is an ESL teacher for Russians who has lost the ability to communicate. Violet (F) is a girl who has lost her community, her flock. And Jerry (M) is a silent photographer who encourages their actions and records their results over these four nights.
Poodle with Guitar and Dark Glasses is a surreal exploration into the human psyche. Its' characters embrace the desires that many individuals suppress, desires which tend to seem cliche and base in modern American society. Each character tells their story through a series of monologues, until the final scene when the players reach out to one another to get help finding what they have lost. The production runs at just about one hour, and will be preceded by the one-act 'Not I' by Samuel Beckett. It will go up ninth week, and requires three females and two males.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!! THE READ THROUGH IS THIS SUNDAY!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Back!

Why is it the only time I write on here is when I'm at work??? Well anywho... I'm back at school and my classes are pretty good. Taking two classes on the renaissance on the same day is fun and human heredity seems like it's going to be pretty easy. So all that's left is my drama class but I don't start until this monday. Speaking of drama, I auditioned for UT's winter shows this week. It was hell. For the musical audition my heart just wasn't in it. Whatever... The only thing that I was really excited about was Poodle with guitar and sunglasses. The monologue for the audition was a girl who thinks she is a bird and is about to migrate. It was sooooooo much fun to prepare and I wore a feather boa because birds have feathers and it made sense to me at the time! Anywho, I actually got called back! I mean I put a lot of work into it but I really didn't think I would get called back. I was like crazy excited and cleaned my room and did laundry. Then the freaking out phase hit and I just sorta got quiet and lost a lot of my energy. And I think that's what was missing in my call back, energy. I just don't know how it went at all. I had to read two different parts with two different people. It was crazy. I just don't think I did very well. THis girl I was reading with was fantastic and I felt like such a loser. And that's what I was singing on the way home "I'm a loser, and a coward... and I know I'm gonna fail" :( I was just in a mood. I really wanted this and I really don't think I got it. So I sort of moped around all evening. Poor Rachael! She had to deal with me through most of it. But today I feel better. Not getting into this show is not the end of the world. I think I need a quarter off anyways. Well I should get back to work! Vale!

Darn the world!!!

I hate stupid online crap!!! I had to drop my german romanticism class because my french class turned out to not exist and the only other one is at the same time :( The really sad part is that I've already bought like all the books for the darn german romanticism class!!! a;lskdfja;lskdfj Break is going wonderfully though. Tell you more later!

Almost done!

Finals are almost done. I've got a lot of ROTC stuff to do tomorrow. Like find some miracle that will get the wrinkles out of my service coat!! You know for someone who doesn't ever get headaches I've had a fair few this quarter. I think I'm just tired. I need something to get me excited again. I went to get my books for next quarter today and it just reminded me how very poor I am. i don't know what I'm going to do about christmas presents. Darn milball, expensive running shoes, and food!!! Sheesh! It will be ok though. I got a bunch of Goethe for Ger. Romantacism. My french books are MIA and I'm not spending almost $100 on a bio. topics course book. I'll just get one on reserve from the library when I need it. So i checked out a bunch of random Balzac to read since I don't know what we will be doing. Do you know his complete works has a name?! "La comedie humaine" That made me laugh. The question is did he title it or someone else?? I should find out! I also got a Moliere play to read? Pourquoi pas?? So I've got Balzac, Moliere, and Goethe! it's gonna be one hell of a christmas break! Oh and I'm gonna clean my room tomorrow!! Good night!

Instead of studying I created Switzerland!!!

I really shouldn't be allowed to play with matches. As racheal's floor and chair can attest!

I slept last night!

Yeah, so finals yesterday were horrible but they're over and my german paper wasn't a complete disaster!! So I have air chem. and ROTC left! Wahoo!! Oh, and my schedule for next quarter is, in short, amazing!! Wahoo!

I'm in love with snow : )

As i walked out of the Reynold's Club to go home I was pleased to discover it was snowing! You know that perfect kind of snow, Soft and gentle and sparkling. It was so beautiful. Kind of like the play I saw tonight. The movement was beautiful. I really wish I did more dancing. There was something very pleasing about this piece. Simple and yet striking, and very beautiful. I really enjoyed watching. I think it could have broadened it's scope a bit and the acting for some parts was rather lacking. Nonetheless, this piece still made me very happy. So I had fun playing and spinning on the slick side walks on the way home, humming gently to myself. I saw a few people on my way home but not one of them said a word. No one joined me in my revelry. Some slowed down, hoping to stay far enough behind that they would never have to disturb or approach me, while others sped up and passed me. But no one stopped. One day I'll get someone to stop and enjoy the snow as well.

Sleepy day

So I got home really late last night. The play was what it was and now it's over and I ended up sleeping all day today. It turned out better than expected. Jeremy certainly created something amazing. I'm more amazed that we managed to clean up all the mess!!! Rachael and I ended up staying up really late afterwards talking about things. I really want to be a part of a different type of show next time though. Something really difficult that I can throw myself into. We'll see. Now I'm feeling kinda blah. There's a cast party tonight and the house coctaile party is tonight. I really don't feel like going to either. I just have too much work to do. I've got so many exams and such on monday. Anywho, I feel like curling up with a girly movie right now. Slipper socks, froggie blanket, chocolate...the whole nine yards. I think I deserve it after last night! Vale!

For the first time in my life i can say i've done something I'm not proud of. I've been a part of something that's turned into something wrong and I don't know how to fix it. And if I quit now lots of people will be let down that are counting on me. I'm just kind of lost. Have you ever felt after doing something that a little piece of you died somewhere along the way? A little piece of your innocence, your ideals, your dreams. I like to giving to people. I like being able to take them away from the world for a while and make them smile or give them something to think about. I like being able to help people face things they don't want to think about. To make them aware. But this doesn't do that anymore. There's no reason. The words are gone. Now it's just chaos, disgusting, and grotesque. But that's what they want it to be. And so I'll do it because I made a promise. However, there will not be a next time. I know what I want now and we're going to make it happen.

I am the dancing queen!

ROTC today was total hell!! I was flight commander and managed to screw up many, many times. I learned a lot though so it's all good. Then after announcements the Colonal gets up and says he has some awards he needed to give out. So first he "honors" one of the POC and declares him Mr. Fred Estaire (sp? I think i frenchified that). And then he decides he can't leave out the girls! And he asks me to stand up. Then he says how he had a few members of the Cadre comment on my skill on the dance floor as well. Oh Jeremy! I had way too much fun being rediculous and dancing with you lol. I really need to step it up with ROTC. I just tend to learn by doing with this sort of stuff. Oh guess what?!! I passed my PFT. 22 push-ups, 42 sit-ups, and get this! I improved my run by almost a minute in 5 weeks! 1.5 miles in 12:44!!! Wahoo!! Who's the bomb! lol. So C/Tangen and I have decided we're going to max everything next time! The only thing I maxed was the waist mesurement but that's all genetics I think. Anywho, gonna take a quick nap before rehearsal cuz i don't want to do work. Vale!

Changes

So I've spent my entire life chasing something absurd. Something i thought I wanted. Something I thought would be fun and interesting. But now I'm here actually doing it. Talking to real Egyptologists. And they're boring! I'm just too rambunctious and loud. I'm not sure when this happened but it has. I want to give something to someone. I just feel like being an Egyptologist would be a really selfish thing to do. I'm the only one who would benefit from it. And I just can't see myself spending the rest of my life researching. I want to go on an adventure. Do something that means something. I did this busy persons retreat this week where I met with a spirtual companion for half an hour every day and I spent a lot of that time thinking about all the gifts that god has given me. I guess the biggest is that i can make people smile. I remind people that it's ok to be silly and have fun sometimes. I care too much. And I was trying to think of something that would use all of these skills. I really don't want to work in an office. I want to be out going somewhere. Hands on kind of stuff. I have an appointment with my priest to talk to him about it. And I'm praying about it a lot. I have a few ideas but nothing I want to say out loud. Rachael makes fun of me because of how much i care about what you say out loud and what you don't. i don't know, saying it out loud makes it real and I'm not sure if i'm ready to make that step yet. I am changing directions and that I've said out loud finally and it's going to happen. (Oh and Elise if you're reading this do not tell mom and dad, I'll do it!). Well I should get to work! vale!

Elmo You scored 41% Organization, 78% abstract, and 74% extroverted!

This test measured 3 variables. First, this test measured how organized you are. Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean. Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint. For the purposes of this test, concrete people are considered to gravitate more to mathematical and logical approaches, whereas abstract people are more the dreamers and artistic type. Third, this test measured if you are more of an introvert or an extrovert. By definition, an introvert concentrates more on herself and an extrovert focuses more on others. In this test an introvert was somebody that either tends to spend more time alone or thinks more about herself. You are mostly organized, more abstract, and more extroverted. Most people either love or hate Elmo. I hope you love Elmo, because that's who you are. You are both somewhat organized. You have a good idea where you put things and you probably keep your place reasonably clean. You aren't totally obsessed with neatness though. Elmo has the same basic approach. His place is pretty tidy, but he doesn't spend all of his time cleaning it up. You both are abstract thinkers. You definitely are not afraid to take chances in life. You only live once. You may notice others around you playing it safe, but you are more concerned with not compromising your desires, and getting everything you can out of life. This is a very romantic approach to life, but hopefully you are also grounded enough to get by. Elmo's whole life is based on fantasy and his imagination. In the beginning he was a regular character, but now he spends most of his time in this fantasy world. You are both extroverts. Elmo likes to talk talk talk. He'll talk with people, goldfish, tables, whatever. Without interaction with others he gets very sad. You definitely enjoy the company of others, and you don't have problems meeting new people... in fact you probably look forward to it. You are willing to take charge when necessary or work as part of a team. The other possible characters are Oscar the Grouch Big Bird Cookie Monster Ernie Snuffleupagus Kermit the Frog Grover The Count Guy Smiley Bert If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback! Also if you want to tell me your favorite Sesame Street character, I can total them up and post them here. Perhaps your choice will win!

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 12% on Organization You scored higher than 97% on concrete-abstra You scored higher than 79% on intro-extrovert

sway

I need to change the music on my shuffle. There are way too many sorta happy/sad slow songs and it's really making me drag. All I want to do now is sleep and forget about all the stuff I have to do tonight. I miss having time to stop and breathe. I should get back to work. Vale!

Flight Jodie

I really didn't feel like doing hw tonight. Listen at your own risk!!

: )

Woke up around nine today and went and worked out with lindsey. Waking up so late causes you to loose so much time. It's already noon!! Eeek! Well I have rehersal soon. Lots for me to think about today. What's wrong with me??? Smiling and unable to stop... Gtg! Vale!

So much to do!

Yeah, so I was at IIT all day. It was a nice not so stressful LLAB which made me happy. Now I'm home and just got back from dinner. I have two hours before rehersal and all I really want to do it sleep. Instead, I'm gonna clean my room and do some hw and maybe look over my lines. I think it would be nice to know what it's like to sleep again! I had a nice day though. I hung out with Michael for a while which was fun. I like how he makes me smile. Well I should get to work! Vale!

P.S. This is why I haven't been writing on this thing. I've got so much work to do I can't hardly think of anything to say. And everything I really would like to write about are things I do not feel like posting on the internet. Sorry everyone.

I should be sleeping

I had such I nice walk home from rehearsal. It was drizzling and I was prancing home to some jack johnson. It was nice. It's funny how it didn't rain all summer and now that it's cold it's raining every day. I have so much work to do. The play is going well. I think Jeremy has done a really good job making the cast feel comfortable around each other. I mean screaming to my husband to come and "scratch my ass" doesn't even make me flinch in rehearsal. We'll see how it goes during the actual performance. Oh how I can't wait. I really love performing so much. But I think this has been a good play for me. I'm getting to do a lot of things I've never done on stage or otherwise. Especially when it comes to the physicality of my character. Well i'm about to fall asleep. So i'm going to bed. Night!

I'm in air chem right now!

Ok, so I really should be paying attention to this class since I haven't been going to lecture and I have a midterm on monday but science bores me... Wahoo to the anonymous person who left a note! I dunno I've been so busy with egyptian and my german mid-term on monday. I haven't slept much in the past few days. I want to kill my egyptian prof. He tells us that we are not expected to memorize the vocab. because we will always be given a dictionary and then he decides no dictionary for the mid-term!!! Sheesh! So now I have five weeks worth of vocab. to learn this weekend. I want to cry. Speaking of crying you should have seen me at the naked theater meeting last night. I don't know, I just really care about this show and what an impact it had on me and it really hurt when everyone was appalled by the idea that a theater group would (heaven forbid!) do shows. I think the problem is we're divided as to what kind of aesthetic we want our group to have. And the founding members of naked seem to have a very different idea of what naked should be verses many of the newer members. Personally, I just want to do theater. I want to do things that move me, that get me excited, and I want to be able to share that with my audience. I want my audience to leave different than they came in. I don't want to be just merely entertainment. i want to make my audience think about something. But I don't want to do a show, just do a show. I mean what would be the point? I want to explore questions with an audience. Is that such a bad thing? We having a meeting to talk about all of this and I hope I can find a way to go. We'll see. Well I should start taking some notes! Vale!

Pain! Lots of Pain!

Yeah, so I went and did PT at IIT this week and now am in a lot of pain. This is in addition to the millions of bruises I got this weekend at FTX. Oh well... Yeah, so I think I've actually managed to get myself in over my head. I'm just barely getting stuff done for my classes and have play rehearsal and voice lessons, etc. I haven't been sleeping. And I'm having a really hard time in Egyptian because I never have enough time to put in to it. I mean it's the whole reason why I'm here! I'm just really frustrated. ROTC is going well this year though. And I'm sitting here listening to The Last Five years. I'm missing a FOTA propoasal meeting right now which might be the best way for me to get funding for this show. I just don't know what I'm doing. What I want... But right now I'm taking a moment for me and just listening. In a few minutes I'll get up, clean my room, iron my uniform, shine my shoes, do some reading, sleep for a few hours, and continue to push away at it all tomorrow. I will find a way to make this work! Good night.

It's been a while!

Yeah, so I've been soooooooooo busy. Three languages was not the smartest thing I ever did. I think I might take French pass/fail just because it's kicking my behind! It's entitled cours de prefectionnement! And when they say they are going to perfect your french they mean it. It's soooooo darn nit picky! I'm actually doing better grade wise in german where i don't understand anything the teacher says! It's getting a bit better but my pronunciation is appalling and I keep getting in trouble for always wanting to use an article like in French!! Egyptian is fun but getting hard very quick. I had a lot of fun making up a story so that I could remember all the signs in order so I could use my dictionary. Anyways, enough about classes! It's really nice to be back at school. I didn't realize how much I missed all my friends until I got back to school! I also realized that I do not miss the dining hall food but I do miss the fact that they do my dishes! I also missed being able to download music from all sorts of people on the school network ;) I'm currently downloading harry potter audio books lol! I'm so going to fill up this darn hard drive faster than I planned. Well, we'll deal with it when the time comes. The drama in my life has increased exponentially since school started. Let's just say guy problems and non-problems. We'll see what happens. Anywho, I need to get to work. Oh, I cleaned my room and it is sweet! Vale!

Tonight's Rehearsal

So, I'm in the process of winding down and going to sleep but I really want to write this down. So Jeremy asked us tonight to walk across the room as slowly as possible. And while we were doing this we were supposed to think about our past. And so I began walking. Feelling the floor touch every inch of the bottom of my foot. And I started to think. And there were just flashes of moments. Times when I was upset, feeling like the world was crashing in on me when I was living with my mom. Trying to imagine that being worse like I know it must be for my sister right now. Then I started to think about moments where I felt safe and content. I remember laying on my bed in the winter with the heater on. It was warm and snuggly and I was reading harry potter. Back in the day when I could spend all my time reading. Then i remembered sitting out in front of Campbell waiting for mom to pick me up. I remember sitting there and listening. And I was just amazed and mistified by the trees across the street. the wind blowing through those trees was louder than traffic. But no one noticed. I remember standing at the bus stop in the morning and being completely taken away by a flock of birds. I remember sitting in my room by the window when a sudden breeze hit me at just the moment when I was feeling sad. And I thought about how they say you have a flashback of your life when you died. And I thought about all the moments I would want to relive if I were going to die at that moment. They were mostly pictures. Mostly walks, or a breeze. Mind while I was doing all this i did a sumersault like Jeremy asked us to. Then i turned around to go back across the room. I went so slow. It was really hard and I'd mess up but i'd fix it slowly. Anyways, so i was thinking about happy moments and most of them were times when i stopped. Times when i stopped and let myself breathe. And i remember when i was younger this was second nature. All I did most of the time was breathe slowly and listen and take things in. the people around me, how they were feeling, sensing the world around me without my eyes. And so slowly I tried to bring it back. The way I once experienced everything. And so I took a few very deep breaths and listened with my body. Feeling the energy of the people around me. And I was just overwhelmed. I could barely breathe and I wanted to stop and cry and make it stop. But i just kept on trying to breathe very slowly and let go. Let everything go. And it was then that i realized that I was inches away from the rest of the people in the room. I just knew it. And I knew it was time to stop. To let go. ANd I slowly went down to the ground and curled up. Then slowly rolled over and let go. And I got to breathe. It was wonderful.

Wahoo for school!!!

I've been sooooooo busy and sooooooo sick! Like every year, I got sick right before classes started back up. I went to the student care center and she said I've got a virus and maybe some allergy problems as well. i'm finally starting to feel better today. It's raining outside now and it's making me so sleepy. Even though i have a crap load of homework to do and uniforms to iron. Blah on that! I really like my classes though. Middle Egyptian looks like it's gonna be really hard but I'm so psyched! German is gonna kill me though! There's so much homework and I have to look up like every word to understand these stupid stories. Ick! French I think will be alright. I'm doing moliere which is awesome. My atmospheric chem. class has like almost no homework but I'm gonna have to do some major studying for the two tests that will determine my grade. All in all it's about what I expected. I auditioned for all the fall plays yesterday. UT, Knock 'em Dead, and Naked. It didn't go to well but we'll see. I really would like to be in the Knock 'em Dead. It was by far my best audition. I don't know I'm just kinda in the mood to be in a nice light comedy. We'll see. I also auditioned for University Chorus and he made me sight sing! I had no idea what to do.... I think they put up the list tomorrow. lets hope for the best. Although, i don't even know if i'm going to have time to do it. Well i should stop stalling and get some work done! Vale!

Do a happy dance!!

Last day working at the library until school starts!!!!!!WERTJ#$%OU($#%*!@P(#$&*PFD(UGZL:DJFT#$@(%*!P(*)$)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I felt in tune today

Today was a good day. Well work was a drag and I was really sleepy. And it was drizzily and cloudy and cold and I loved it. So of course i had to go to the Med. Bakery and get a Mexicana hot chocolate that I proceeded to spill all over myself and this book of Irish stories I was reading! So then I cleaned myself off the best I could with napkins and then decided what the hell I want to go to the point damn it!! So I rode my bike to the lake and only dropped my book once! The lake was as violent as I've ever seen it with waves splashing pretty high above the first tear of rocks. And so I dumped my bike and my shoes and socks and went down to where the lake and rocks meet and just stood there. I turned off my shuffle and listened for a while. Then I had a nice long conversation with myself with the waves crashing and splashing my feet in response. And then eventually I made my way back up to my bike and put on my shoes and went home and changed out of the hot chocolate stained clothes. Then I went back to work and took off a half hour early cuz I felt like it and no one cared. Afterwards, I sat on a bench outside the library and read my book for a while and then went to the Naked Theatre meeting. We got a lot done which was surprising. I went home around 8:30 pm where I finally found a player that would play the gilmore girls episode i downloaded!! So I have seen the episode I missed! Wahoo!! And I just cleared all of the dirty clothes off the floor in my room and put the iron away!! Did some push ups and sit ups and now I think I'll go to sleep cuz I have to be up by 5:30!!! Eeek!! Vale!


Music: The Next Ten Minutes (The Last Five Years) I really love this song.

Still not sleeping...

It’s midnight and like usual I can’t sleep. I can never get to sleep. Not during the school year because I’m too busy and during the summer I go crazy or something and still can’t sleep. And it’s not because I’m not being tired! Today, I got home from my voice lesson and was so out of it that I fell asleep while checking my e-mail and managed to miss the season premier of Gilmore Girls!! And I can’t find a place to download it online anywhere!! Blah on the world! My voice lesson went well though. I really like my voice teacher she’s really cool. And I’m getting so much better. Today I wasn’t on shifting and it was really weird. I had carts all day so I spent most of my time listening to music on my shuffle. I don’t like doing carts you have too much time to think. I’ve been in a real mood lately. Kinda sad and missing home. I want to walk barefoot in my neighborhood in the pouring rain again. I want to get lost under some trees where no one can find me. I miss how I could find my own special places back home where I could breath for a minute. There weren’t ten thousand people around everywhere you turn. I’m just tired and I need to take a moment and get back into myself. Spend a day outside and re-group. I’ve just been running all summer with work and the play and voice lessons etc….. I need to reconnect myself I think. Vale!

I'm going crazy. I mean that's the only explanation. I'm going nuts and there's nothing I do seems to fix it. I want to scream, run, and burst out of my skin for some reason. To say that I'm feeling restless would be an understatement. I can't sleep anymore and I think I'm driving Rachael crazy. Last night we were watching tv and I swear everything she put on was like my least favorte show on the face of the planet. ANd normally I'd be a good sport about it when she puts on the food network for hours on end or something i detest just as much but today I'd just had it and went crazy. I feel really bad and I apoligized for being so annoying but Rachael still seemed pretty steamed. The only thing that seems to mildly help is a ton of physical activity. Enough to tire me out to the point where I don't care about anything anymore and can drop into an exhausted dreamless sleep. But then I wake up really sore feeling just as bonkers as I did the day before. I don't know but this library is killing me. This summer is killing me. God do I need school. I need every moment of my day filled!! Damn the world. You know I remember spending summers just sitting around reading and such but this summer I can't sit still long enough to do anything. ljkasdljajlkaweorjiorewajlkaeuoialjkdoiurewjlkr3wlk. That's all I have to say I guess.

Craziness!

Ok, so I've been on a bit of a hiatus cuz Seth was here visiting for the week. It was awesome. And now things are back to normal and I'm feeling a bit stir crazy. I went and biked down town and such Sunday. I probably spent a good 4 hours on my bike. Unfortunetly, it didn't help at all. So I'm going running today to burn off some of this "Oh my goodness this summer is dragging on forever and I want to scream, kill someone, and jump into the river in true Simon fashion!!!!) Rachael and I had a girl's night in last night--pizza, ice cream, girl talk--the whole shibang. We had fun but we stayed up way too late talking. We were gonna watch a movie but that never happened. Oh well... It's not due till wednesday. I still really want to scream because of all the blah that has been this summer. I hate summer and I want it to die. Then school could start sooner!! Well back to work! Vale!

The Wrath of Hermione

Harry and the Potters!

And the total is...

5th Floor: Needs 218 Bookends

3rd Floor: Needs 153 Bookends

That took forever!!!!!

Bookend Blues

Ok so I got the goofiest assignment at the library today! I am supposed to go to the 3rd and 5th floors and go up and down every set of shelves and count how many need bookends!! lol. It's pretty dull. After about 2 hours I started to become aware of how I walk and started playing with it. I took a nap for half an hour this morning too. It was nice. I'm not sure if I'm ever going to finish this though it's taking forever. I just finished the third floor. At least the 5th floor has the Egypt books!! Maybe I'll start at the end and go backwards cuz all the egypt books are there. Hmmm.... Yeah so I've got rehearsal tonight. Hopefully, my one really annoying scene will start working tonight. I doubt it though. We're doing a run which always makes me sleepy. Still no luck with the flapper dress. I'm hoping for a miracle at this point. So yesterday evening I applied for the darn loan and got rejected so I've got two more to apply for tonight. Lets hope for the best. Then I watched the notebook. I've been in a girly film mood lately. So I was thinking about the book I just finished again. It made me a little sad and confused as to what I want. I mean I'm the girl with "the plan". Undergrad - 4 years in the airforce - PhD - High School Teacher. That's the plan. But I don't know... When I read these big epic books about someone who brought their people together and did something great, something amazing. I mean we all want to do something significant, something that will leave a mark or something, to make and impact. And I've always been satisfied with the idea of becoming a teacher. I mean those are the people who have had the biggest impact on my life thus far. And I would be really good at it. I know I would. But I just don't know. Every now and then I get this unsettling feeling inside that there's something I'm going to do, something I'm supposed to do. But I can't quite lay my finger on what that is exactly. But for now I'm just going to go with the flow until I figure out just what that is. Vale!

My accent sucks!

Yeah, so I'm not at all pleased with my accent for this show! Blah! I'm just not british!! I'm working on it though. Hopefully I'll be able to pull it together in a week. I have to go to the financial aid office today. It's a mess. And I must apply for loans tonight!!!!!!! Yes, tonight!!!!!! I'm really going to do it. And I'm gonna do my laundry. I seriously have like one clean shirt left! Sheesh! This play has been keeping me sooooooooooo busy. It's wonderful. I finished my book yesterday. It was wonderful. A little predictable but not really. You thought you had figured something out but really she expected you to get that part and it really wasn't that important cuz there was sooooooooo much you haven't figured out yet! I'm sure that probably makes no sense to anyone but me but oh well. I'm back on the B-Level. I've got a bigger job to do today though so I'm actually working. That and I've got nothing better to do. I want to read another book. I need to go to the public library because buying books has gotten way to expensive! I mean this small like 600 or so page hard back book was $30~!!! It made me sad because I absolutely had to have it. Oh well! Maybe i'll go to the library after work today. After I apply for a loan!! Must do that today!! Yes today!! Wahoo!!! Then maybe I'll do my security clearance paper work!! lol. Well Vale!

Dancin' @ the Library!

Yeah so I was making room for macroshift stuff on the B-level today. Oddly enough it was nice to go back. I kinda missed it lol. But I always complain about things I like and/or don't really mind too much. I get that from my dad lol. I really should try and stop complaining so much. It's kinda annoying. Anywho, so i finished really early and so I read my new book most of today. I really need to finish it cuz I've been neglecting my music practice during my lunch breaks because I can't stop reading!!! This book is like going home. When I was younger the only place I ever felt at home was in my books. Books where people tell tails to each other. Times when values were different. I like the magic, the integrety, the love, and mystery... I don't know. I just love this world this author lives in. All her books are very consistant in the world where they exist. I just love it. But it's almost over and that makes me sad. I'm going to have to wait for forever for the next one to published in the US. Oh well. Vale!

Killing time

Gocery Shopping!

So I went grocery shopping with Moo Loo this morning. It took all my strength of will to get up and get dressed. I just didn't feel like doing anything. It's sad that I can't seem to sleep in anymore. I was up at like 9:30. Blah on that. So I went to the store and managed to spend way to much money and not buy any real food! How on earth do I manage this??? I don't know. All I bought was cereal, yogurt, and snack food lol. I couldn't even find the soup that I wanted!! Oh well. Yeah, so i think I'm going to go skating. I need to buy insoles for my skates though because they kill my feet! Skating is ridiculously fun! The first time I went out all i did was almost fall a lot! It was great. A friend from BJ sent me a facebook message cuz he saw me "roller stumbling" and still singing along to my music not really giving a care to the world and he found it amusing. Well I should go to CVS they should have insole things. More later!

I really need to work on BSing more!!

Ok so like this blog sucks. I only ever write on it when I'm on my 15 minute break at the library. Well that library sucks out your soul (Like most jobs I've had) and I just can't ever think of anything to say. Well anywho, I vow to make it better and BE SPECIFIC!!!!! Wahoo!!!! So last night I slept. A lot. It felt great! I came home from my voice lesson and Moo Loo wasn't home cuz she went to the planetarium with one of her more sciencly inclined friends. Anywho, I spent the evening singing a lot. Then I spent like 35 minutes looking for my keys. I really don't know how I managed to loose them so well in such a short space of time. Because I needed ice cream. So finally I found my keys and went to the grocery store that is like right across the street. You know I love how I can walk to like two-three gorcery stores, borders, and my dentist and go no more than a couple blocks. It's fabulous!! Well I get there and the godiva ice cream is all disgusting cuz it looks like it melted at some point. So no rasberry white chocolate ice cream for me... or so I thought!!! Then I discoverd Hagen Daze (sp????) makes something similar. It was yummy. Then I came home and watched my favorite girly chick movie cuz I was in the mood. And towards the end I fell asleep i guess and didn't get up until 4:30 in the morning. Then I moved to my bed where I found Moo Loo had put my mail. Then I woke up today around uhhh... 9 something and went to my 10 o'clock rehersal. It was great. i was totally on form. I think I've been doing so badly at rehearsal lately because they're always at like 7pm which is Janice wind down time. Well my director loves despairing jackie. She just want's it to be bigger!!! She wants me struggling through "boulders of despair" or something like that. I think this was a happy compromise. Cuz I wanted to make jackie too stupid and my director wanted to make Jackie too smart (at least in my opinion). So if she's despairing she's too emotional to think at all so who cares!!!

So i went to Belmont today. It was a disaster. The CTA gods were not with me. I went all the way to Belmont and didn't find any of the shops I was looking for. Then the train skipped the garfield stop on the way home!!! It's never ever done that before!!! Wahoo!!! Food just got here! I'll finish this later!!!

Cont.

So I was stranded at the 63rd stop since the train skipped mine. Luckily, there were two girls who go to the UofC too and they had someone coming to pick them up so they gave me a ride home. I came home very sick of public transit. So I ordered dinner and started reading the book I got today. It's the latest from one of my favorite fantasy authors (other that J. K. of course!). Its going well but I had to take a break for a bit. I don't like the light in here very much. I tried to turn on the tube for a bit to clear my head but of course I went and lost the remote par usual. I'm just always loosing crap!! Blah!

Now I'm sitting here listening to soft music and thinking. Moo Loo finally came home from her concert. I'm just thinking... I've been doing this a lot lately. Many thoughts and dreams swirling in my mind. Mostly dreams. Dreams I shouldn't be having because they just make me sad. Sad because they are possible but I can't, I must not. And so I can't get to sleep. Because I don't want to dream about things that I can't let myself pursue. Well I'm going back to my book. Vale!

Nightime Tune

Angel Eyes

Open with Real Player

Normal Day

Well, I'm at the library. Same as usual. Rachael leaves tonight. I'm not sure when she's coming back though. I should ask her. I'm pretty sleepy like usual. I can't seem to ever get to sleep anymore. I can't even remember when was the last time I slept well. There are just so many things on my mind lately. And I've been having very weird dreams. Nothing scary but definetly not happy either. I don't know. I just wish I could get a good night's sleep without absolutely pushing myself to the point of exhaustion first. Anywho, I should get back to work.... Vale!

Mood:
Tired

Music:











I love this musical!

There's a Fine Fine Line Avenue Q

There's a fine fine line

Oh happy day!

Dude, so I have to get all of my wisdom teeth out!! Blah on that! Luckily, they're not really hurting today which makes me happy. Was talking to Seth onling last night and he said he might be able to come and visit me! I hope he does! It would be ohhhhhhh sooooooooooo much fun! Anywho, must get back to work!

Mood:
Very Happy!

Teeth should die!!

AAhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Ok so I woke up this morning and my other wisdom tooth started hurting!!! Blah!! Bad news: I can't feel any tooth any where near coming like the other two so it's probably coming in all wonky. Good news: I got a dentist appt. at 1 this afternoon!!! Wahoo!!! Happy dance time. I probably won't go back to work afterwards. Dunno, we'll see. Well back to work!

Mood:
Down with teeth!!

Music:

That was probably the longest weekend of my life!!! lol. Been keeping busy. We went looking for costume stuff up town. It went ok. No sign of a flapper dress. I don't know what we're going to do. Well we're still looking. Anywho, I'm at the library. It's the same as ever. Well lots to do! Vale!
