    Cute boys
    I got to flirt with two cute boys yesterday!  But don't worry, they were only 2 and 3.  A family with two young boys, Tierney and Quinn, moved into the house behind us.  They've only lived there about 2 weeks but their dad, Dave, already built them a badass playhouse in the corner of their yard that's closest to my house.  My mom and I walked out the back door yesterday evening and we hear a little boy shout "I see you!" and there's Tierney at the top of his play house with a telescope thingy.  so we went over to say hello and as soon as I got in the yard this little guy run over to me as fast as he can and throws his arms around my legs and says "HI!"  Quinn is very loud and squeals unintelligibly and Tierney likes to make sure he knows every one's name.  Mom and I sat and talked with the parents for a bit and I played with the boys on the tree house and in their little pool.  They're so cute and I hope I can baby sit for them soon.  I'm so bored at home and I don't really feel like looking for jobs...

    Play writing
    So my play writing teacher is awesome. I wanted to post my play writing assignment up here to see what people think. This exercise was written on several paper napkins approximately 10 minutes before class. It is also worth noting that the names are intentionally weird so as not to denote any specific gender, this is also the reason no pronouns are used. okay, here goes:

    Writing for the Theatre – Ridiculous Exercise #1

    Painful as this starting point of my meditation and mulling may be, think of or imagine someone I love falling in love with someone else. What might be the most ordinary, the swiftest, conclusion I might draw to account for someone else being preferred to me? Consider, in contrast, the most hilarious, the most unlikely and illogical and extreme basis for my rejection? A basis that, once realized, can change forever how I view the person I had been in love with.

    When we first see Azur the signs of Azur being in love are in everything Azur does. We may even guess from how Azur is “setting the scene” the kind of person Azur expects soon to arrive. We may be so misled, though, that when Beneficial does approach Azur we can’t imagine for the life of us that it is Beneficial for whom Azur is making such a fuss.

    But then we see how Beneficial leads Azur on and makes Azur believe that Azur is the center of Beneficial’s universe. It is just short of the moment when Azur is about to declare Azur’s love of Beneficial that Beneficial does and/or says something that stops Azur in Azur’s tracks. Beneficial has invited Cord to join them. There is no one Beneficial wants more Cord to meet than Beneficial’s precious Azur.

    Watch how Azur takes all of this in. Watch how oblivious or puzzled Beneficial is in the face of Azur’s changed behavior. Watch how Beneficial deals with each of Azur’s questions. And then bring your scene to the point where, by the end of page 3, Azur sets eyes (perhaps for the first time) on Cord. A Cord very unlike the Cord that Beneficial had led Azur to expect.


    I think I'm going to like this crazy guy.

    Fiberglass in my arms
    I am so frustrated and miserable right now. we started light hang at 7:30. At 11pm we weren't even half way finished. So tomorrow, early in the morning, I have to schlep my ass back to the theater in order to do it some more. I have never ever experienced a slower, more painful focus that this one.

    1) There are some extremely inexperienced people who, instead of asking for help when they know they need it, seem to do everything they can to nearly maim themselves and others. Seriously, if the light is too heavy for you to overhang it yourself, ASK FOR HELP! If you thought you'd be okay but really you're afraid of heights ASK TO DO SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF BEING USELESS. It's irresponsible and dangerous to do these things. There's nothing wrong with being afraid of heights and you could be perfectly useful doing other, quite necessary things. There is such a thing as having too many people in the catwalk...

    2)if you are a lighting designer you should have the courtesy to actually make a goddamned light plot like it's in your job description to do so the TD doesn't have to scramble to repatch dimmers while helping focus at the same time. Also, I think just about all lighting designers have a firm grasp on the commands Pan, Tilt and rotate as well as the directions Left, Right, Up, and Down except for Sabrina Fucking Hamilton. Tonight would have been so much better if she could say what she wanted clearly instead of making meaningless hand gestures and then getting mad at us when we don't understand. Additionally, Sabrina makes stupid jokes and thinks she's so fucking hilarious when really she's just creepy.

    and the last nail in the coffin...
    3) The paint on the steel rails of the grid has happy little fragments of FIBERGLASS! So when you are focusing lights they rub off and become embedded in your arms (or whatever else is in contact with the rail). These minuscule shards hurt and itch and you can't even see them until you try to wash them out. Then you can see tiny inflamed bumps where this awful stuff has penetrated your skin. It's terrible.

    I really don't want to go back tomorrow....

    Playing in the Rain
    I am so close to being finished I can taste it! And it tastes kind of like buffalo chicken... Mmmmm, chicken...

    so last night I was in the CC working until about 1:30 but then I went to go print stuff out and go home. on my way home I saw lighting in the sky and really it was so close to raining you could smell it. Then as soon as I got inside the rain started coming down. Lyons, Gaia and I all went outside and just stood there in the falling rain for awhile and it felt really good. I love the feeling of nice fat raindrops hitting my skin. Then I remembered that the sprinklers were on over on Chapin lawn. So we all ran over to the lawn to play in the sprinklers/rain and there were a bunch of people in the CC who looked at us through the windows like we were insane, but I didn't care. it was too fun and it felt too good to care about what other people thought of me. it was a real relief to just let go like that. I really like playing in the rain. it's also a really neat feeling when the rain is cool but the ground is still warm from being heated by the sun all day and it sort've steams up. Very neat in a spooky sort of way.

    Mama, here comes midnight with the dead moon in it's jaws
    So I found a song that I used to have today and I am so absolutely in love with it! It's by the band Songs: Ohia and the song is called Farewell Transmission from their album The Magnolia Electric Co. I used my favorite lyric from the song as my title, which is something I usually do...

    So life has been really stressful over the past couple of weeks and I feel like the only thing really keeping me sane is Justin. I got cast in a show at hampshire, which is pretty cool, but I haven't been to very many rehearsals at all because I was on the tech crew for Machinal. Machinal went pretty well for its whole run, but boy was it boring to be a board op for. It's a really depressing play to begin with and there's only so much you can do while sitting in the booth to block it out... But it's over now and I never have to think about it again! and I got a new computer because my old one is on the verge of death. it's a beautiful 15.4" macbook pro. I wasn't sure if I wanted to get a mac but I got this through the school so it was just easier.

    I'm bringing justin home with me for spring break which should be fun. and I'm excited to go home in general. I'm kind of loathe to admit it, but I really do miss my family a lot when I'm away at school. really it's only my mom who significantly annoys me and she's getting way better about that.

    I'm not really sure why I decided to post right now. I'm way too tired to finish this thing properly but I don't want to just delete what I've written cause I know I'll forget about it. so I'm going to post this crappy thing. Find that song I mentioned and listen to it! Farewell Transmission...

    Get me away from here, I'm dying...
    So I'm in tech for Machinal and I just got cast in Metamorphoses and between tech work, rehearsals, and class I can't find any time to get my work done. I feel like I'm suffocating underneath a pile of work that I'm simply not capable of digging myself out of. it's an awful feeling, and this always happens and I just feel so helpless. the next step is skipping class in order to finish my work and that just gets me even more behind. In short, I'm fucking up. I hate it.

    I was talking with Delia and Ahrim today and Ahrim was telling us about how lucrative it is to go to Korea and teach english. You get something like $35/hr right off the bat and you don't have to know Korean. Plus, it's in Korea! just a possibility. it sounds fun.

    Pretty musics
    so it's Christmas eve, but I'll spare you all the complaining about the torment my family puts me through. I did want to tell all of you that Joanna Newsom's new album Ys is absolutely amazing. 5 songs that morph and shift beautifully. I listened to it twice through on the train yesterday and it was lovely. Her lyrics are so beautiful, even though they rarely make sense. Here's a little sample from the first track, Emily:

    that the meteorite is a source of the light
    and the meteor's just what we see
    and the meteoroid is a stone that's devoid of the fire that propelled it to thee

    and the meteorite's just what causes the light
    and the meteor's how it's perceived
    and the meteoroid's a bone thrown from the void that lies quiet in offering to thee

    anyway, that's something I really like right now. You can take it or leave it... I just got back from the first awful house visit and I had two glasses of champagne in about 20 minutes. I think that is going to make my night significantly better. anyway, Merry Christmas and stuff. I hope your night is less miserable than mine. <3

    A thousand different versions of yourself
    Finals are done! I no longer have to care or worry because it's out of my hands!this makes me really really happy! I am so excited to go home and just relax and sleep and not have to be anxious about everything.

    Justin's birthday was thursday and I took him our for dinner and we saw Shortbus. He said it was the best birthday he'd ever had. :) That boy makes me so exceedingly happy. We are so in love it's kind of ridiculous... also, Shortbus was awesome, but it is not for the faint of heart. Nor is it for people who can't go and have sex with someone immediately afterwards, cause God it's hot!

    so my taxi is getting here in about 5 hours. I guess I should get to bed, huh? I am so excited to go home and see my family. I have a feeling this will be a good break. also, I can't wait to see my dear Nikki!

    2:50 am
    My life until the semester ends is as follows:
    Right now
    -Finish taking notes on my section for Soc. presentation
    -start writing my god damned theater history final paper (I gave my presentation in class today and she said that she is looking forward to reading my paper because she really likes my topic! What pressure!)

    Tuesday
    -Try my damnedest to finish my lighting design final.
    -Another wretched tech rehearsal from 6-10:30.

    Wednesday
    -Last Shakespeare class (god I'm embarrassed how little I attended that class. Wouldn't it be fitting if I slept through the last one?)
    -Theater History in-class final exam
    -One Acts go up and I get so nervous I vomit
    -Work on lighting design final if I haven't finished it already

    Thursday
    -Sociology group presentation on cold-blooded murder. Woo!
    -Second One Acts show. Again, there will probably be puke put in the toilet at some point.
    -Strike for the One Acts
    -Assuming all of my work is finish, Justin will wisk me away to his mom's house in New York where I will spend the weekend having great sex, great food, playing with puppies, and probably feeling really awkward once I have to go and meet his entire family (eeek!)

    After this hellish week, i will hopefully have a really fun and relaxing weekend with Justin. After I get back from Justin's all that's left is a couple of shifts at work, my Shakespeare paper due 12/22 and my self-scheduled Shakespeare midterm. I'll keep you guys updated on how I'm doing on my work as I go along. As it is I don't think I'm going to sleep for a good long while considering that it's already 3... Thank the lord for ritalin, I guess.

    In other news, Julie sent me a bunch of fun tracks and I love them all! Be gentle with me by The Boy Least Likely To is one of the best songs ever and it has the cutest video! http://youtube.com/watch?v=RlHR95Ttjo8 and now... Lyrics!

    Staring up into the solar system,
    All the stars are fixed up in the sky.
    I just want to sparkle for a moment
    Before I just fizzle out and die.

    I'm happy because I'm stupid.
    Scared of spiders, scared of flying.
    If I wasn't so happy,
    I wouldn't be so scared of dying.

    So just be gentle with me
    (I'm not as young as I was)
    And I'll be gentle with you
    I'm not as brave as I thought
    'Cause my heart gets broken so easily.
    So just be gentle, be gentle with me.

    Wide awake, waiting like a target
    Listening for things I cannot see.
    Insects flutter up against my window.
    I don't like the way they look at me

    i guess I've always needed
    To be needed by someone.
    It's a comforting feeling
    Being under someone's thumb.

    So just be gentle with me
    (And if I am ever mean)
    And I'll be gentle with you
    I never mean to be mean
    'Cause I want to pick peaches off of a cherry tree.
    Just be gentle, be gentle, be gentle,
    Be gentle with me.

    So just be gentle with me
    Trouble is sometimes
    And I'll be gentle with you
    I just can't switch myself off
    When I want to so I never do
    Because I'm mental, be gentle, be gentle,
    Just be gentle, be gentle, be gentle
    And I'll be gentle, be gentle, be gentle,be gentle with you.

    Alright, good night all of you. I'm jealous of all of you who are lucky enough to be sleeping right now... gr! I hope I make it out of this alive.

    I just want to sparkle for a moment, before I fizzle out and die...
    So this has been a pretty good week in several ways. I managed to get a decent amount of work done, but nothing that gets me anywhere near finished. I'm starting to really stress out about my finals. I think tomorrow I'm going to try to take my computer to the library and write my theater history final. I really need to find someone to sub for me at work on Saturday or else I can't go to NY with Justin for Hanukkah and I think that would break both of our hearts... Speaking of Justin, things are going really well. He puts up with a lot from me and I love him more than I've ever loved anyone. god, he makes me so indescribably happy.

    so I think I'm going to go on an adventure tonight. I just ate some hallucinogenic fungi and this is my first time tripping so my wonderful roommate refuses to leave me by myself so I think I'm going on an adventure to the Bradley Airport to pick up one of courtney's friends. time to go!!! I hope I have a good night! I hope all of you do too!

    Fuck Happy or Thank You For Being More Specific
    Last night I saw Ted Leo + The Pharmacists with senor Kanda. It was fucking amazing! A list of amazing things they did:
    1) they opened with Little Dawn, which is my favorite song by them.
    2) they played all of the songs I had been hoping to hear.
    3) the bassist is fucking goregeous and he was right in front of me. Such good eye candy...
    4) played a new song called "Who do you love" and then there was a pleasant conversation afterward about the audience loving him
    Audience member: I love you!
    Ted Leo: You don't even know me! Don't go throwing that word around.
    Kevin: I love your music!
    Ted Leo: Thank you for being more specific!
    Kevin: You've got a cute butt too!
    Ted Leo: *awkwardly* Um... thanks I guess.
    4) during the encore his guitar broke so they played the only song they have that doesn't need a guitar ("you didn't think they could hate you now, did ya?") and he got so into singing and dancing that he hit himself in the forehead with the microphone so hard it bled and he didn't even fucking wipe it off! You are a total badass if there is blood running down your forehead and down across your nose and you don't even try to wipe it off.

    Oh, I should also mention Bullseye. Imagine the sex pistols or the Kinks, but 11 years old!!!!!!! they are a group of 5 northampton area 7th graders who have a band and a cd and everything. When they first came out it was kind of like a really hilarious joke, but after the first 2 or 3 songs everyone in the audience realized that these kids really know how to rock! it was crazy! So Delia scored their CD for free because she plugged WOZQ to one of their Moms and we played the whole thing on her radio show following the concert.

    Anyway, that's about it... bye.

    I hope I never get sober...
    SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Tonight I went to a Mountain Goats concert tonight and it was really awesome. The performance was absolutely amazing!!!! They played No Children (hence the entry title) for an encore and it was incredible. He encouraged all of us to sing along. I know this is probably really silly and deluded, but I am absolutely convinced that he looked right at me several times during the show, and it was all during songs I knew so I could see this delighted look cross his face every time he looked at me. Although, it is kind of sad, it seems like he's back on heroin again. Oh well, so it goes. anyway, it was an amazing fucking night and I am so getting my hands on as much of their music as I can. I love love love love LOVE the mountain goats. the end.

    my schedule
    So I just took another look at my schedule for this coming semester and guess what bitches! NO CLASS ON FRIDAYS AND NO CLASSES BEFORE 10!!! I know Stevie has me beat on the class times thing, but this is very exciting to the girl who spent her first year waking up for 9am class every single day. Man am I excited. I love everyone!

    The pain of unrequited love OR Helping fix a broken heart
    So my friend got her heart broken by a stupid boy and I hate him for it. She's so nice and beautiful and perfect for him but he's too scared to see that. So I spent a significant portion of my yesterday consoling her. I think from about 12:30 until the show was over she was crying. then we went outside so she could have a cigarette and we commiserated some more. But I think I actually helped her a lot. She really really needed to vent and, in a silly attempt to try and mend her broken heart, we went for a 2+ hour walk in the woods. We walked up by the hospital and then down by the river. We waded in the water for a little and I picked some tigerlilies for her. I think that made her happy, or at least I hope it did. after our walk we tried to help Joel get back into the theater building, although there was little helping on our part. we just kind of sat around and kept his friends company while they waited for him to find a way in. They were very cute boys. Then we had some shitty dinner at cutterz but from what I could tell Jag was feeling better and she left to go hang out with her old boss, Bill. I then harassed Jesse to come pick me up and I then went to hang out with justin, jesse and dana at Jesse and Dana's apartment. Dana and I ended up getting hella awesome (and by awesome I mean drunk) and we went outside so I could try and teach him how to do cartwheels. This did not work at all. I tried but he never got anywhere close to doing one. It was silly and fun though, and it was very nice out. Alright, time for food. byez

    The squirrels are at their squirreliest!
    soooooooooooooooooooo... yesterday was fun. Went to a barbeque at Jim's and had burgers and pulled pork. I wish I had know that I was going to have to work monday and take tuesday off or else I probably would have found a way to Rory's for that family party of his. I miss that boy so much when he's not around. It turns out that I really fucked up though. No one told me that I was going to do sound for Glass Menagerie and I didn't tell anyone that I was going to completely disappear for a day. So when I finally charged my phone there were a bunch of angry messages that were all like, "Where are you? We hope you're not dead in a ditch." This morning I got a post card from my darling snuggle bunny! It was quite lovely and I believe it will soon be the one and only thing that adorns my wall this summer. Oh, and the show I was ASMing ended, much to my relief, and now I'm working on paintbox which has been tons of fun. The actors in childrens theater have a completely different calibur of energy. They are "on" all of the time. At our first rehearsal I was laughing so hard I almost had to excuse myself from the room. The actors are really amazing.

    Alright, It's off to make some coffee. Oh that reminds me! My boss has forbade me to drink coffee, which is absolutely torturous, but I have been able to fall asleep a lot earlier than usual (a lot earlier being like 2 rather than 4) and sleep a lot more soundly. I don't know if I can keep this up though. we'll see. anywho, love to all of you guys who care to read this thing.
