That's the logical explanation anyway. It sure isn't helping my incredibly bad mood right now. The fact that I was pretty thoroughly drenched from the knee down should be some indication of how bad it was out when I got out of rehearsal today. (thank god I had an umbrella)

Rehearsal was retarted today too. We did a cue to cue and dress rehearsal with only a half hour break plus around 40+ minutes for notes and got out at midnight. Seriously, WTF?!? Cue to cue was suppose to talk a "half hour" and ended up taking 2 and a half. THANKFULLY, the run through went smoothly. I know it's theater and it's better to do things right, but seriously. I already didn't even wanna be there to begin with, do you have to make things worse by making it painful?

Meanwhile, every second of free time I had at rehearsal I was doing homework, WHICH I still even remotely close to finishing and because of that, will probably pull an all nighter tonight (not good considering we're having another dress rehearsal tomorrow).

Speaking of school work, If you're told to read the Treaty of Versailles for class as well as read about 100+ pages from Keynes. DO NOT BE LIKE ME AND PROCRASTINATE!!! Turns out that the Treaty of Versailles if fucking loooooooooooong, 180 PAGES IN MICROSOFT WORD, to be exact. Plus it doesn't help that in addition to all that reading I have to write a 2 pg. paper on it. GREAAAAAAAAAAAAT...

Oh and guess what kids? Guess whose only done a fraction of said reading and hasn't started her paper, which she needs to get done by 3 p.m. tomorrow? >.> <.<

OH YEAH! ...that would be me....

Shoot me now....Please?

I seriously can't wait for this weekend to be over and done, cuz while I still have build for anything goes it won't be as hard core as actually being in the Tech Show. Plus hopefully I can get caught up on work and work out a system with HI 200 and the workload, cuz what I'm doing now is clearly NOT working.

Now that I'm done with my bitch rant for the day I'm gonna read about why Keynes things that Germany got boned after World War I and how the allies were shit heads for doing it.

Lovely...

Ok guys so here it is!! FINALLY I updated. Though you guys shouldn't be too suprised since me and live journal are wierd. Go for months without updating then I'll update pretty consistently and then I'll just NOT update. Random thing is I'll check my friend's list ALL the freakin' time. Wierd? Yah I know. Also been working on this post off and on all day, between class and this paper for HI 200, I've gotten my fair share of interruption

So yeah my break was pretty off the freakin' hook not gonna lie. Had TWO family get togethers in which I chilled with cousins I haven't seen in awhile, with the occasional family drama thrown in of course (when is there NOT family drama in a family?). As for X-mas itself a got a frig ton of clothes and cd's I've been wanting and the big things were my new Digital Camera (from the rents) and my 80 GB iPod (got thanks to all the gift cards I recieved from friends and family).

Plus of course I got a much NEEDED break from everything. I didn't really want to do anything this break besides hang out with my friends, and that's specifically with my friends. I was especially happy that I got to hang out with people I haven't seen all too much like Schild, Carson, and Dianna, since they all are quality, quality people.    Highlights were definitely New Years as well as going to Game Universe to play rock band. And the sleepover at Sa's was pretty epic I'm not gonna lie, and my incredible use of "lawl" is now apart of my vocabulary. I also got to hang out with (home) Alex and his girlfirend Darielle a frig ton, too.This was kinda wierd cuz I had barely hung out with them at all before this break, I'd never even been to their apartment. By the end of break, I was pretty much going to their apt. every other day and just chillin' with them. It probably helps that Alex has both an XBox 360 and PS3, and has Assasin's Creed :siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh: ^_^, but it's still fun too. I love their dog too, she's like a younger version of Cinnamon for how freakin' hyper she is, especially when people are over. And also Darielle might give me a hook up with her job and get me an internship this summer. WOOOOOOOT!!!

While break was cool, school has definitely been totally....not...cool, like at all. While generally in terms of course numbers, the difficulty isn't that bad but the work load is killer. But it's just I've never gotten this much work so early in the semester before, it's a little overwhelming.   Though I will admit that my schedule is pretty freakin' tight in that I average about only 3 hours of class a day, which fuckin' rocks in my mind, and I only have one class on Tuesdays, WOOOOOOOOOOT!!! Most of my classes I"m either incredibly enjoying (both my History class fuckin' KICK ASS!!!) and my other two classes are meh at the moment. Macro, I reason, only sucks now because we're reviewing Micro, and I aboslutely DESPISE microecon. And well Japanese is japanese, and the only reason I probably dislike it is because it's tedious and unlike my other classes I have to put a ton of effort into it and I totally suck ass at Japanese too (I don't even have to try hard in my other classes and I think I'm doing pretty well).

For those of you who don't know, cuz I don't know if I put this in and update, I'M TDING A SHOW THIS SEMESTER!!! YAAAAY!!!

    ((FYI: For those of you who don't know TD is short for technical director, it means that your basically in charge of everything behind the scenes for your show: Lights, sound, set, costume, makeup, etc., with the exception of producing since we do have producers but even the producers report to the TD. In other worlds, I RULE!! )) ((lol jk guys XD, though I do rule anyways ))

lol I've always wanted to TD a show and now's my chance and I"m sooooo excited about it. The show's called Buried Child (yah I've never heard of it either) and it goes up in early April and it's gonna be a pretty intense show to say the least. Reason why I'm bringing up this was that I got the list of my tech crew for my show today. :squeeeeeeeeeee: For those of you who don't know. I'm DEFINITELY happy with the people I got, not only do I know most of the people on my crew but they're experienced enough that I know that they'll get the job done and get it done well. Granted I expected a tech crew like that considering that it's a pretty tech intensive show and I was totally freaking out about that fact this weekend and praying that I had a good enough crew to go with the show. Not to mention I have an awsome ATD, who I've been told was requested to TD for a show, and he's only a freshman. So all in all I'm not dissapointed in the slightest. Though I'm still kinda suprised that I"m put in charge of such a show like this, specially with the "circ saw incident" if you don't know about it GOOD...definitely NOT one of my best moments. But idk, guess Rena (our Technical Advisor, and is basically head of ALL tech for Troupe) trusts that I"m capable or something, idk. But it's gonna be one intense semester, there's no denying that fact in the least.

I also FINALLY got into Avater: the Last Airbender and Code Geass. Both are incredibly epicly awsome and deserve a long post/discussion~~/fangirling over~~ since they're just that awsome. But that will wait for another time, since this was just meant for updateness on life, and honestly, it being me, that's a post worth in it of itself, and this post is turning out to be pretty freakin' long anyways. Plus I'd prefer finishing Code Geass before I have a final say on it (THOUGH IT'S EPICLY AWSOME AND YOU ALL SHOULD FREAKING WATCH IT LIKE NOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!), and let me just say both Avatar and Geass were SO worth the hype imho, and I look forward to seeing more of it down the line, and I'm DYING to watch the next episode of Avatar. DAMN YOU NICKELODEON AND YOUR RETARDEDNESS TO NOT AIR NEW EPISODES!!!! :SHAKES FIST ANGRILY:

But yeah, I still got a frig ton to update about. But I'll just leave that for another time. Expect my anime/manga/etc. post, sometime hopefully soon, but I'm too tired to right it now. Guess I'll just finish this paper tomorrow morning. Don't have till 3 anyways, and I just gotta revise somethings in it, so it shouldn't bee too bad.

Current Music: I'm Not Jesus-Apocalyptica feat. Corey Talor

So yeah, lookin' at live journal today and realized that the last time I did an entry was on spring break, th 17th to be exact. Yeaaaaaaaah that needed to be changed like post haste.

The week following spring break I have dubbed the "lost week" since I pretty much lost my week to working on Inspector Hound. My day pretty much consisted of wake up, go to the occasional class, be at the theater, go home, and go straight to bed. I didn't get home a single night until thursday before 1 a.m. But I mean it was a fun show and Chris and I were a real great team together and we really go stuff done. The cast party was kinda fun, and was my first time drinking beer and playing beer pong.

The great thing now is that I'm pretty much have tons of free time. I got no shows and all my CGS classes are done because we have to work on our Capstone project, so I've pretty much gone like a complete 180 from my previous weeks go freaking figure. I'm meeting up with my group in less then an hour to do research. Oh yeah and we're doing it on the genocide in Darfur!! This topic was actually one of my first choices out of the topic and that's why I'm so excited about it. Yeah it's a little morbid but it's always something I really wanted to find out about.

Oh and tangent, went to see the Fenwick show this weekend (with a mild hangover a might add) and it was actually a lot better then I was expecting. They did a really great job...especially considering what the show was...High School Musical :twitch twitch: But it was funny to see Carson crying and telling me I was right about senior circle and that she WOULD cry. Oh carson, you silly silly girl.

Yeah so you Tsubasa fans are in for a little treat down the line to say the least. Yeah I kind pulled a schild and read a little ahead a little being read vol 16 and 17. The phrase "the shit hits the fan" doesn't even begin to cover it, nobody is left unaffected. But like I said that doesn't happen till vol. 16 and I think they're only up till vol. 12 here, so you guys have fun waiting. Oh and if you want the site where I read it, just leave me a comment or whatever and I'll give it ta ya!!

So I'm trying to go over my plans for the summer. Now I think I've got a plan, even if the apartment falls through I'm still living in Boston through B.U. summer housing. I'm going to be taking classes both Summer 1 and 2 as well as I HAVE to get a job this summer and would prefer to get it in the city, plus I'm 90% sure I wanna do the summer show for troupe. Now this doesn't mean that I will coming back and seein' you ppls. In fact I will probably be making frequent visits home (like going to the willows as much as possible) but I figured that with class and work alone I'm going to be spending a lot of time in Boston anyways. Plus I've always wanted to spend an entire summer in Boston and enjoying the city and the sites and this gives me a perfect opportunity to do so.

Alright I should probably get my stuff together since the shuttle will probably be here soonish.

Later kids!!

I GOT A NEW LAPPY!! ^____________^ YATTA!!! I'm so excited, it had everything I wanted in a laptop so I'm totally in love with it. Only bad thing is that I won't be able to use it till after Feb. 19th cuz that's when the Geek Squad guys are coming to my house and installing stuff and transferring my computer files. But hey, I've waited plenty for this laptop, I don't mind waiting an additional few weeks. And so here's my baby!!

I both watched and finished Princess Tutu (FINALLY!!) It was amazing and I definitely wanna watch it again. I thought I would hate it cuz it would be too girly and with too much dancing. But there was a nice balance with dance and everything else. Plus it was fun how they through the theme of the raven and evil and discussed the contrast of good and evil. The ending was very cliche and was the definition of a happy ending. But that was all good in my mind cuz the events leading up to the end were very well done and although corny I enjoyed it.

Had a tech meeting today and it was kinda boring but it was with kool people. Steven, our head of tech for stage troupe, droned on and on that alex ended up falling asleep, which proceeded with Chris, my TD for my show (i'm ATDing) shot a rubber band at him. I <3 Chris ( =P)

After the meeting Emily, Alex, and I went to dinner but I kinda got into this state. I don't know why but I just kinda went numb and was like that until 11 (Video games (SSBM) and anime (Samurai Champloo) always make me feel better XD ). I remember Alex and Emily talking about their camps and something about dry ice. I don't remember any of the conversation I had on the bus with Emily either. On the walk home I felt hollow. It was a wierd feeling but it's not something I haven't felt before. I kinda welcomed it in a way. I enjoyed the calm center and the open state of mind as I welcomed the cool air brush and occasional rain drop on my face. Meanwhile letting all my thoughts coalesce and just...well think! I can't delay this decision any longer, I have to do it this weekend, the anticipation is killing me. It's better to get it done and over with. The more you delay the worse the situation get's and truth is all I'm doing is making it worse. I'm hoping that it's me over thinking things and a compropmise can be raised. However, if not..well. you's just have to see.

But no matter what happens I still have another problem to deal with, and that can't so easily be fixed. It won't go away no matter how much I wish or want it to. I love you all but I don't want to talk about this with anyone. There's just things that you need to handle by yourself, if you get my drift. Plus I'm just kinda moody right now and I'm just trying to get these thoughts down that have been bothering me for the past few weeks.

I just want this to end.

So yeah I'm not gonna lie when I say that yesterday was probably one of my funnest days at stage troupe i've had in awhile. Since light and sound pretty much had nothing left to do, me, my lighting director, and sound director were just chilling in the booth and talking. I'm looking at my sound directors music and i come up to untitled stuff and I see that she has the Turk's theme from 7. I start laughing out loud and play it, then all three of us start talking about 7 and other final fantasies and say which one are fav one is. I said toss up between 7 and 10, sound director said 7, and suprisingly my lighting director said 8, which kinda threw me for a loop cuz i was thinking he'd sway for lik 6, 7, or 9, but whatever. I look at my lighting director's ipod and I comment on his choice of music (ranging from Ayumi Hamasaki to Dragon Force) and meanwhile I find out that he watches bleach and downloads anime, plus he's read Wizard's First Rule. This all took me by suprise considering that I thought my lighting director and I had nothing in common, but now he has been dubbed super mega ultra cool.

This probably topped the night. Aj, my ld, goes "Hey let's through them really off." Throws in "My Spirit Will Go On" by Dragon Force and then, after the calm part at the beginning, everyone is rocking out to it, including a couple of the actors. My assistant director get's really into it. Aj starts to go crzy with the lights and has them synced up with the music. Then my assistant director don comes to the booth and his aiding in the light show. They take turns in pressing the lights (which are now buttons instead of sliders because we programmed them into the board) and now are right in time with the guitar solos and the song. Meanwhile, Rena (sound director) and I are doing the classic head swirls with our hair while rocking out to the music. I don't think I've laughed so hard or had so much fun in awhile.

Techies PWN!!

That is all.

EDIT: OH YEAH!! And my show goes up tonight!! Wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
