3:02 pm - So, a million years later....
|
So yeah, it's been a while since my last real update. Whether due to business or laziness or a combination or both, i'm not entirely sure.
Well, Finnegan's Farewell closed this weekend. After 2 months of being pretty much reshaped as an actress, I'm actually pretty bummed that it's over. the last two cast parties were so much fun--I didn't get home til like 3AM on friday and saturday (or i guess, saturday and sunday). I'm really glad that i took the chance and did this production instead of Joeseph at BV. It was nice to have a different group of not so dramatic thespians to hang out with.
37 days til the end of the school year, and 38 days til i move out. I'm excited as hell.
SDSU is the plan for college, as it's not only affordable, but josh is there and my family's an hour away, versus Berkley, which is slightly more expensive and a bit farther from home. I'm waiting on news from the Dakota Corps scholarship. In a way, it'd be really nice to get that scholarship, as it pays for EVERYTHING. on the other hand, i have to major in education. but i suppose for about $30,000 I can be bought.
I'm practically on cruise control til the end of the school year...the only thing i'm concentrating on is mainting the 4.0 and passing my 5 AP tests this May. oh, and the spanish one i'm taking in June. joy.
so yeah. that's basically the synapsis of my life.

3:50 pm - Friday 5 :D
|
1) When does liking someone a lot become loving that person?
Hm...i don't know, i always thought of it as more of an epiphany than a measurable point.
2) Is there a job you would do for free, and is it your current job?
I'd head an environmental protection effort for free... Currently i'm working as an actor for free... the play is at the Oaks Hotel, and it's running every friday and saturday in march. Showtime: 7:30pm. call 605 310 3226 for more info :D (You should all come! it's really fun :D)
3) What is one person/thing that inspired you to take action of some sort?
My mom has always encouraged me to push myself. However, Josh taught me an equally important lesson of learning to relax once in a while.
4) Though you might not believe in it, would you like fate to exist?
No! that would suck to not have control over your own destiny!! wow that would blow...
5) What's one of the kindest thing sthat anyone has ever done for you?
This summer when I was sick with viral menigitis, josh took care of my feverish miserable self for a week or more, held my hair while i puked up everything i hadn't eaten, watched stupid romance comedies, made me jello, came to visit me in the hospital when i finally went...etc etc. My family was busy hosting my uncle and his sons from CA, and well, I'm glad that I had someone around to make me feel better. definately awesome. :D
current mood: cheerful

I'm at girls state in Vermillion--and i'm quite sleep deprived. Well, at least i'm used to it. The rain has been pretty annoying, as have the popularity contests and make believe bills. Props for free time enough to log online though. I'm a little cranky, but won't elaborate. My roommate is pretty cool other than the fact that she gets up everyday at 5AM @_@ One and one half day(s?) left. I have an odd feeling of homesickness that i've never really felt before whenever i'm gone for extended periods of time. It's funny; there are 500 girls here, and i've made some friends or whatever, but i still feel pretty lonely.

Post anything that you want, and post it anonymously. Anything; a secret, a confession, a fear, a love, your opinion about me -- anything. Be sure to post anonymously and honestly. Then, put this in your LJ to see what your friends have to say.
...and break!
maybe? please? ~_^

I haven't updated in a while, so i thought it might be fun :D
A week after one acts finished, as we all know, the musical began. I've been busy blocking with Brick and working on some accents. Lol, i never knew "new yoiker" accents were so much fun. I'll post this again, but the show opens Thursday, March 31 and runs through Sunday, April 3. Thur. Fri. and Sat. showings are 7:30 and Sunday is the matinee...2:00 i think. It is going to be fantastic!!
I was really sad... i really wanted to go to spanish camp, but the dates that we picked got cancelled, so we had to reschedule, and the only other time to go was April 22-24. Yeah, rhs prom falls right in the middle, and i'm pretty sure that that is going to be a blast. oh well :)
Hm...what else. Stacia came over last night and we watched old movies and snl reruns while i tried to concentrate long enough to correct her english paper, lol. I actually felt really accomplished yesterday; i talked with muffy, went to practice, hung out with britt and later stacia... It was really nice having time to do that much socializing outside of school. Even though that meant this morning i had to get up really early to finish history. But that was okay.
I've been getting tons of those college pamphlet things. I have come to the conclusion that post secondary education is super expensive. I really like a lot of these little private liberal arts schools floating around, but holy crap! like, starting price is $25000! shmeh.
Oh! I know what else i did! I finished my childhood narrative for creative writing. Should i take the time post it sometime relatively soon...?? meh, i dunno.
current mood: energetic

If you read this, even if i don't speak to you often, you must post a memory of me. It can be anything you want, it can be good or bad, just so long as it happened. Then post this to your journal. See what people remember about you...

State went so well! We got 3/3 suprior rating! Ye~ah! 3 of our actors got superior actor awards. Saw some AMAZING theatre come out of expected places (Lincoln) and also unexpected (RC Central!)--> wrote their own piece of singing dancing etc. Saw some really bad theatre too. @_@ but that's okay ^_^ Augh. So much fun. Cast party was surprisingly fun too. O.O lol
Sunday was dedicated to mass/retreat. Was dead tired afterwards. Josh came over around seven or so. ^_^ I got to open my b-day presents, which included a couple of Darwin Award Books, lmao. We watched some Disney Hercules (another b-day gift), and listened to my new BB King CD (another). Also in the bag o' goodies was an artist's book of anatomy (yes!XD) and a photo album. :D
Musical junk starts later this week. @_@ already...i really wish they'd give us a week to just like, breathe maybe.

Okay.
I am so stressed in my life right now that i just need to get this little something that's been nagging me off my chest...so please, read this with an open mind or not at all.
I know that i'm quite disliked amongst many of you probably reading this. And that is okay. Really, i don't mind. I respect that everyone has the right to an opinion. I might not like that opinion, but i'll respect it. However, i do have a problem when those who i love are under beligerent attack.
Just in case any of you are curious or in doubt, i love josh. With all my heart. But I by no means told him to go to SDSU. I, despite what you may think, encouraged him to make that decision on his own. And he did.
With the exception of only a couple people (ryan and jorde come to mind) the rest have been horrible about respecting his decision, for whatever reasons he made them. And i know those reasons and i know them well. Not all of us have parents with money waiting for us to go to schools that will charge us $200,000 for an education. Money is a huge factor here. Also, family. His family is here, and he's really close to them. I personally wouldn't want to move far from mine either. And the education, believe it or not, that he can get there is just as good as at mines.
As far as -me-. I know i'm the topic of hot debate, and i like i said, i know i'm well hated for it. But leave him alone. Believe me, we've talked for hours on the subject or higher schooling in particular, and i know his reasoning is sound. He's choosing this school because it's what's right for him right now. I know some of you have issues with me, but let them end there. And at least let us be happy. is that really too much to ask from our supposed "friends"? I know you think you are helping him by pointing out the supposed faults in his reasons, but is it really for you to judge?
Your friend needs your support now. Not your criticism. If you love your friend, respect his choice.
current mood: frustrated

I guess feel like my updates are kind of obsolete, hence the lack of them. Those who want to talk (to me) do, and those who have the opportunity but don't simply avoid me like the plague. and then the people i don't see are just super busy, like me. so life goes on.
One act play night here at BV is next Monday. Washington, O'Gorman, and we will be performing. really great shows, please come and enjoy!
Winter formal was really really fun. RHS decorates so nicely compared to BV. It was fun, even though we only danced a little. It was good to socialize with people outside of the drama dept. lol, no seriously though, it was lots of fun.
current mood: tired

last night was super fun~ We lost pretty hardcore at quizbowl, but that was okay, because really, i didn't care too much. Schoolday yesterday was [i]way[/i] too stressful to care a whole bunch about QB.
After the tourney, i played texas hold em with josh and his "poker friends"~ i kicked ass, and took all the monies!! (that weren't really monies) (with a little help from Brant the Dealer)
Went home and *finally* got a good night's sleep. It was a novelty. ^_^
This morning ellie and i went to Neighbors before school. That was fun too. :D
current mood: mellow

8:49 am - real update.
|
i'm sure it'll go unnoticed anyhow, lol, so i'll be brief and not take up too much room
1. Back to school today. wake 5:30, here 6:15 AM. It was great.
2. Christmas was great! I got a few things, my favorite being a garnet necklace and matching earings from josh. New Years...meh. Joya was the only one to call and see if i wanted to do anything...i assumed everyone else already had plans. Ended up staying at home and sipping bubbly with my adults.
3. 2 depressing things happened over break, one of which i'm sure isn't news. My aunt's condition is worse than it was, which is hard to imagine, and harder even to take. the other, of course, is peter's unexpected death.
4. In good news: life amongst the living is going pretty good. Family life is great, and love life better. ^_^ Now that one acts are in full force, i'm pretty sure i'll be in heaven. :)
5. this upcoming weekend will be the last one where i have nothing going on for a long while--so yeah, if anyone wants to do something, give me a call!
