let's go to hawaii!

I don't want to be back here!  I'd much rather go to Hawaii, so anyone willing to pay for that, let me know ;)  I haven't written too much this semester just because I've been pretty insanely busy.  When it wasn't an insane amount of work to do for M4M, it was an insane amount of work to do for class.

Spring break was pretty low-key and lovely.  I spent a lot of quality time with mom, some with Jason, and visited Lydia for her birthday, the big 2-1!  Mom and I saw The Passion of the Christ - good, and rented Mona Lisa Smile - eh, as well as buying me  anew prom dress, shoes, and a purse.  They're purty.  I had a lot of trouble deciding between two dresses that I really liked, and my mom wasn't much help because she really liked them both, too.  I finally decided on the one that was more "pretty" than "fun" - because I think it'll last longer and I can wear it to more things in life.  So, anyway...  Jason and I saw LOTR again, because I missed it and he wanted to see it again, and we also saw 50 First Dates, which was really cute!  And FINALLY had our Valentine's Day dinner!  Oh, and we watched Lost in Translation, which was good, but didn't impress me as much as I thought it would.  Hmm..  And we visited Lydia for her birthday!  I put make-up on her, hehe, and we went out for dinner and to a few different bars, and then slept over that night and the floor was hard but at least I could sleep because Lydia's house isn't haunted like mine.  No, really.  I also got to see Jen once (we went to lunch at the Olive Garden), and she got to step into my house for the first time in like, two years.  I can't believe it's been that long.    I unfortunately didn't get to visit Danielle and Jeni in NYC, but hopefully we can go up to Richmond to visit Jeni sometime this semester, cuz I want to see her!

I really need to update my pictures...  Maybe I'll go work on that now...

"don't say we have come now to the end.."

Another show over...  And thus begins the real work load!  4 papers due this week, and a project.  Poo!  Measure for Measure went really well - the cast and crew rock.  Pix!

And the pictures for The Fantasticks went back up again for some reason, too.  PRETTY.

Must find a job for this summer!

umm

The show opens tomorrow.  That's all I have to say.

:)

some real important stuff

Not really, just some links:

Measure for Measure site, thanks to Jon

And Oscar.com

I also added the Penguin game to my links on the right.  My high score is 593.5..beat that suckas!

Something to look forward to :)

no no, my life IS too busy

Muhlenberg is way too much work.  What happened to carefree London?  :(

Being back at school is really odd.  I can't really explain it, but I know that people who were with me understand, and the people who've been abroad in previous years.

"Lydia is the essence of sex." - and she wants to go places with me...

Back to the Berg

On Sunday night I officially go back to Muhlenberg.  Crazy!  I went back today to move some of my stuff in, and meet with Beth, and was utterly weirded out by being back.  I got to see some people I really wanted to see and get myself more organized for our first production meeting Monday, but it's just so...oddddddd. 

Right now the house is really freezing, but I already turned the heat up and put the fire on.  Brrr!  Mom went out to the movies, I guess, and hasn't come home yet, so it's just me and the animals, who like to follow me around when I'm home alone.  Seriously, if I walk into a different room just for a minute, they follow me every step of the way.  They're bizarre, especially the cat.  :)

Last night I finally saw Keanu's movie (or Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton's...whatever...), which was quite enjoyable.  Watching a movie that talks about that whole age difference thing got me thinking about how Keanu's ONLY 18 years older than me ;) and his band is ALMOST named the right thing...  It's named Becky.  Sigh - Hehehe.

This past week has been the slowest one ever without my sister home and my mom back at work, worrying about having to go back to school and plunge into stage managing a mainstage. 

I'M COLD.

no really, i LOVE this song

Lay down your sweet and weary head
Night is falling -
You've come to journey's end
Sleep now and dream of the ones who come before
They are calling from across the distant shore.

Why do you weep?
What are those tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
all of your fears will pass away -
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping..

What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea a pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home

And all will turn to silver glass;
The lights on the water,
All souls pass

Hope fades into the world at night
Through shadows forming, out of memory and time.
Don't say "We have come now to the end"
White shores are calling;
You and I will meet again.
Then you'll be here in my arms,
Just sleeping..

What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home

And all will turn to silver glass;
The lights on the water,
Grey ships pass into the West.

I'm 21

How does it feel to be 21?  Same as it did to be 20, of course.

I have no desire to go back to Muhlenberg and resume my life there, but I have to as of next week, Monday.  Ick...  That first week better be fun!

I've been going out with Jason for one whole year now :)

I finally upated my pics.  The end.

home, home, home

I haven't put any more of my travel pics online yet - I will some day soon though!  Home is nice and Return of the King is awesome.  That's all that's new!  ;)

2 days to go

In two days I'll be sitting in Heathrow airport waiting to board my plane.  It feels like a long time from now - but the fact that there are some people leaving TODAY, who are already AT the airport, is soooo strange to me!

Things have been fantastic.  I did a little more Christmas shopping, saw His Dark Materials Part 1 (the books by Phillip Pullman are quite good), went out to the Ministry of Sound for Jeni's 21st birthday, had all my last classes (and finally got that damn Directing project out of the way), and yesterday Ian McKellan shook my hand at the London RotK premiere :) :) :)  Our last London Theatre play was poo (Sweet Panic), but Mourning Becomes Electra was amazing - it rivals even The Pillowman! 

Tonight is our last big bash at the Student Union, and then tomorrow is going to be full of packing!  If I had AIM, I'm sure my away message would say "Packing my life away" for the majority of the day.

Have I mentioned I can't WAIT to get all my digital pictures online?  Oh, and I have housing for next semester!  Danielle and I are living in a Macgregor suite with Jen and Debbie - it'll be good times!  Trailer park, here we come ;)

As my last thought in this Journal while in London - pray it doesn't snow so Lydia has no problem getting to my house to come see LOTR with me!
