Life in a College World

Hey everyone I just wanted to let ya'll know that I got into two different plays on campus for this term. The first one that I will perform this Saturday in is called BC3, it's a bunch of stories about the college from the students... it's really cool. The director got the idea last year, shortly after she was offered a job on campus. She wanted to know what the students, faculty and staff really think about the school were they live or work. This work of art was done is three different parts and the students that are in then are mainly Theatre Major. The only bad thing about it is that I get my script for it on Monday and then we perform for the school on Saturday so I only have 5 days to learn my lines... it's going to be hard. On Sunday I start rehearsals for the other play I'll be in called The Imaginary Invalid, the performance days are April 23rd, 24th, 28th-30th, and May 1st.

Classes are going really well, I have a film study's class at night and I'm in Woman's Chorus, my English class is really cool and so are my two Theatre classes. Oh, I almost forgot... I'm now the assistant manager at my job. All is good.

Birthday

It's finally my Birthday... and I'm finally out of the teens! Here I come world, I'm 20 and I'm going to kick your a**! I made a promise to my mother to not open my present that she sent me until my actual birthday... and do you know how hard that that has been! I've wanted to open it so bad that one of my friends took my presents and put them up in her room so I wouldn't open them. Now I have to wait until she wakes up to get my gifts... which is okay but I really want to open them now.

Anyways, I'm going to dress up for the big day and go to Mass with my friends. I can't wait to see what the day brings. I just hope we don't get any snow... I would cry if it snowed on my birthday (I hate snow!!!). Now I'm going to go to bed and when I wake up for classes then I'll get my presents from CC. It is now technically my birthday... I've been 20 for a whole second! Wootness!

Actors from London!

Kent to Oswald:

A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking whoreson, glass-grazing, super-serviceable finical rouge; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch; one whom I will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest the least syllable of they addition.

Actors from the London stage come to college and performed King Lear. I loved watching them and had a blast talking with professional actors during class. I tried so very hard to pack myself into one of their suitcases so that I could go back to England with them but that didn't work out that well. I loved the play it was epic and one of the actors was totally hot! Now that I have met real actors and have had some of my questions answered I know for sure that I want to act with all my heart. I won't just settle for teaching Theatre anymore I need to be doing it... it's in my blood and I don't want it to leave.

Happy Halloween...

We went to see The Rocky Horror Show and it was great! We all dressed up and threw things at the stage, danced around and sang all the songs... "Let's do the time warp again! It's just a jump to the left and then a step to the right... put your hands on your hips and pull your knees in tight. It's the pelvic thrust that really drive you insane... let's do the time warp again!" I can't wait to see another showing of Rocky.

Let's see, at 5pm Charli, Missa, Mary, Cecilia, Clovy, and myself left our college campus and headed to SugioCon. Driving two hours, we finally get there and get into our hotel room... and started cosplaying. It was so fun, we saw so many people dressed up and had a blast! We played Cosplay Chess and it was great! There was an Old Greg... and she had the voice and everything! I can't wait to go to OhioCon in January... it's going to be amazing!

Weekend Fun

Let's see... my weekend started on Friday, the Biology lab was canceled so I didn't have anything to do after noon. I worked on my wish list and read Manga... once everyone was done with classes and work K suite went to dinner. At 6pm we went swimming in the campus pool... I think that has become a Friday ritual now. When the pool was closed, we walked back to our dorm and watch Chicago and RPed a little.

Saturday I got up and worked on my research proposal that's due Monday. On my way to lunch I saw a huge yard sale and had to stop. My Tim Burton got a Christmas tree that we are 'dressing' up for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, St. Patrick Day... etc. Anyways, later that night I went to the Gender Bender Coming Out Bash sponsored by the Gay Straight Alliance and the Pagan Coalition. I danced the night away and saw most of the guys I know in dresses. You know it's not fair that men can look that good in those dresses and heels... better then most women! It's not fair! I didn't get back to my room until 2:30am... it was great!

On Sunday I locked myself in my room and worked on my paper until done. Then I rped with friends until I went to bed... I love my life! :)

Geogre Carlin... When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?

In the words of George Carlin, "I'm an outsider by choice, but not truly. It's the unpleasantness of the system that keeps me out. I'd rather be in, in a good system. That's where my discontent comes from: being forced to choose to stay outside. My advice: Just keep movin' straight ahead. Every now and then you find yourself in a different place." I understand how he feels, sometimes I feel like the black sheep in my family. Sometimes it feels like I'm in a completely different universe than the rest of my family. It might just be me, but I feel like even though my family says they're proud of me for being in college... I still feel like I'm an outsider. Have you ever had the feeling that you are being shunned? Well, I do... I don't know if it's because I have 2 tattoos and plan on getting more, if it's because I don't believe the same as everyone else in my family, or if it's because I'm trying to make something out of myself.

Sometimes I feel like I have no control over my life... like there are little people watching everything I do. There have been times when I swear that if I stay quite that I will hear a voice say: "Hello. We're the ones who control your life. We make the decisions that affect you. Isn't it interesting to know that those who run your life would have the nerve to tell you about it in this manner? Suffer, you fool! We know everything you do, and we know where you go. What do you think the cameras are for? And the global-positioning satellites? And the Social Security numbers? You belong to us. And it can't be changed. Sign your petitions, walk your picket lines, bring your lawsuits, cast your votes, and write those stupid letters to whomever you please; you won't change a thing. Because we control your life. And we have plans for you. Go back to sleep." So, how about them apples?

Time to Die...

I am now an Assassin. It's a game that me and the other 6 girls in my dorm suite are playing. We all wrote our names on a pieces of paper and placed them in a hat, once it was mixed up really good we closed our eyes and drew a name. As long as it wasn't your own name then you're good... Now the object to the game is to kill the person you have (but not for really of course). It's so fun, you can't let anyone know you have and you can't be caught killing someone. I can't wait to kill my person!

Quotes

Few things in life have been so sad; "Da-Da" turned to "Daddy" and "Daddy" turned to "Dad." I read this the other day while I was at work... I really like it. If you know, cool but for those people who don't have any idea what I'm like; I'm going to let you in on a little secret... I'm a huge Daddy's girl. More often then not I'll talk about my Daddy in someway, just fyi. I don't know about you, but I couldn't help but think about how much I miss my Daddy. I can't wait to go home for break...

Right after I read the first quote I read this one, which made me what to call my Daddy at like 3am but I didn't want to give him a heart attack:

Commotion in the Kitchen
And the slamming of a door,
Noisy footsteps down the hallway,
Precious sounds I hear no more.

Those countless interruptions
Interfering in my day,
Memories in books and boxes...
All grown up and gone away.

Day One

I don't really have much to say at 12:04am... I know I should be in bed sleeping, but I'm waiting on clothes to dry. It's stupid really, in a dorm with oh lets say about 300 girls there are only 6 washers and 6 driers in the entire building! Came on now... the Freshmen get more washers and driers than we do... it's not fair! So now I have to wait for my clothes so I can get dressed in the morning and not have to get up any earlier than I have too. My first class is a Wellness/PE class at 8am... fyi, I hate this class, I'm not a morning person. No matter how many cups of coffee I have, I still don't want to be out of bed before noon! That is why all plays are done at night... 'cause Theatre Majors are not morning people, if you ask anyone on my campus they will tell you that the earliest Theatre class in at 11 and not a minute before. Anyways I just wanted to start this blog thing... I'll post again when I can think clearly and have better stuff to write about, until next time...
