    chastity belt?

    I find this rather important:  click

    I talked to another woman at Milwaukee Rep today...she called and said that the first woman I had talked to had spoken highly of me, so she just wnted to have a little chat and answer any questions I had.  So that excited me...  I think that despite the VERY small stipend, it would be a smart job to take if it was offered to me...  The housing they would put me in is a Plaza Hotel, a little convenience apartment to myself with my own bathroom and kitchenette...that sounds nice...  And they are an Equity company, so I could get my EMC points and plenty of experience with Equity stuff...  She said I'll hear in about a week and a half, so I'm looking forward to hearing something!

    Graduation is looming on the horizon

    I guess it's been awhile since my last update.  So, let's see.  I went and did forensics one more time to make some money, and while I was there, my mom called to tell me that she was on her way to Alaska because my cousin Fisher had killed himself the previous day.  I really wanted to be able to go visit Aunt Michelle with mom and Beth, but couldn't get away from forensics, couldn't miss classes, really, and couldn't find any plane tickets below $1000.  So, that was very sad and upsetting.  I thought about Heaven a lot and I just hope that

    a) death is not complete blankness, for eternity, which I won't even know is blankness because I just won't have consciousness anymore

    b) that you can look back at those who are still alive and watch their lives happen when you want to

    And I hope Fisher is happy, wherever he is, and feels how much he was loved.

    Gandalf:  Death is just another path, one that we all must take.  The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all changes to silver glass...  And then you see it.

    Pippin: What, Gandalf?  See what?

    Gandalf: White shores...  And beyond, the far green country under a swift sunrise.

    Pippin: Well, that isn't so bad.

    Gandalf: No... No it isn't.

    Okay, sorry for the deepness...

    In other news, I've been sending out the job applications and the interviews are trickling in.  I have one tomorrow for Milwaukee Rep, which Charlie recommended to me, so hopefully it goes well!  Then on Monday, I'm going to the NJ Theatre Alliance Design Showcase, where I'll set up a little stage management display for myself and out my AGYG production book out, and then the 30 or so theatres who attend will all come around and interview me.  Wish me luck!

    Last weekend was Honors Convocation, at which I recieved the Dorothy and Dexter Baker Foundation Award in the Performing Arts.  They give one to a music student, one to a dance student, and one to a theatre student.  I was really surprised and pleased to get it because I don't think these awards, since there's really only one to give in the whole theatre department, normally go to stage managers.  In fact, I'm sure they always go to actors or directors.  So it was extremely nice both just because and because included in the award was $300.  Then, what made it even nicer was that when I ran into Charlie two days later he came over on the front lawn (I was tanning in the beautiful sunlight) and congratulated me, and said he was sorry that he couldn't be there, and then said that it was a unanimous decision among the faculty members that the award should go to me.  I really don't mean to toot my own horn, but it was extremely nice.

    Less than 40 days left til graduation ,and I've got lots of stuff coming -23 days, MTA Formal, the Accapella final concerts, all the fun of senior week, those interviews I mentioned earlier... and of course finals.  Don't my teachers realize that I'm a senior and it's not cool to assign me work?

    This weekend should be fairly chill.  Go see Francine (my Film Acting teacher) in The Interpreter!

    Oh, and things with Jason are going really well.  I'm happy.  :) :)

    JediBL (5:16:38 PM): strangely enough, what you wrote as "kabassi" is actually spelled "kielbasa"

    It has been noted.

    last trip home before graduation, check

    So, Easter break/weekend was pretty short...  I did a little shopping, which gave me a bad headache, of course.  I just couldn't find what I wanted, and I needed to get shoes for the Ball, and apparently unbeknownst to me they have decided that silver shoes are no longer necessary.  They go with everything, come on people!  I also bought a new skirt outfit, since I got an invitation to the Honors Convocation and don't really have anything to wear.  I'm sure I'll wear it during Senior week as well.  Rented a few movies this weekend: 

    Being Julia - I can see why she won the Golden Globe.  The story didn't excite me too much, though.

    Ladykillers - funny enough to rent

    The Five People You Meet in Heaven - makes a pretty slow movie.  It jerked some tears, and was touching, but I hope I don't have to go through all that if I get to Heaven!

    Jason and I went out for dinner on Saturday night to Bertucci's, b/c I had a coupon.  I had never been there before; it was okay.  Nothing special as far as Italian places go, but I guess I should try their pizza, which is really what they're known for, before I pass judgement.  Yesterday mom and I visited Grandma in Lancaster... that was nice.  I'm getting to the point where I actually enjoy playing Scrabble.  I came in second, with grandma kicking our butts as always.  She really knows all the tricks to that game.

    So, today I'm gonna eat dinner before heading back to school.  I think we're having kabassi (sp?).  I still need to pack, and do my tax business, and I guess do a little more Latin homework..  I guess I better get started with all that stuff and stop procrastinating!

    Things make me happy right now though.  :)

    :)

    I don't get many things right the first time
    In fact, I am told that a lot
    Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
    Brought me here

    And where was I before the day
    That I first saw your lovely face?
    Now I see it everyday
    And I know

    That I am
    I am
    I am
    The luckiest

    What if I'd been born fifty years before you
    In a house on a street where you lived?
    Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
    Would I know?

    And in a white sea of eyes
    I see one pair that I recognize
    And I know

    That I am
    I am
    I am
    The luckiest

    I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you

    Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
    And one day passed away in his sleep
    And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
    And passed away

    I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know
    we belong
    That I know

    That I am
    I am
    I am
    The luckiest

    i don't know how i feel about this

    Mo... Molybdenum
    You scored 52 Mass, 29 Electronegativity, 62 Metal, and 20 Radioactivity! I like to think of you as the miracle worker in The Princess Bride... you can do anything and you do it for the betterment of society. Just because you can raise the dead and make flying wagons and stuff doesn't mean that you show off about it though. You are capable of forming bizarre webs of relationships in which individuals are accomplices, lovers, coworkers, and so on all at once. I once saw you hanging out at the center of a cycloheptatriene... it was completely freakish and bizarre, and I'm not sure I've known what to think of you since. But hey, to each their own. Oh, and stay away from the carbon monoxide... you suck that stuff up.


    My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
    You scored higher than 91% on Mass You scored higher than 39% on Electroneg You scored higher than 68% on Metal You scored higher than 84% on Radioactivity

    and so it is

    I tried to post this last night but my computer was uncooperative, so I'll try again but I don't remember what I said so I'll just write different stuff I guess.

    Spring Break, pt. 3, consisted of The Sea Inside, Tootsie, more food of course, applying for some jobs.

    Then I wrote a bunch of stuff here, then I deleted it because I decided I didn't want to post it because it's angry and sad.  Mostly angry.

    Lots of work this week, choir concert this weekend, can't wait for Easter to come around so I can just go home again.
