Last day of Canadian Action
Well, it's finally come. The end of the three weeks of my Canadian's visit. His flight is at 3:30 so we'll have to be at the air port around 2:15-ish. It's been a fantastic three weeks, in point of fact it's been a fantastic summer. I've never had a summer where I saw as many people or did as much stuff as I have this summer. Shortly after the summer began I got involved in Mr. Taws' Summer Stock Kids and that was fun beyond reason, annoying at times but over all loads of fun. I really enjoyed working back stage for both the shows we put on, Jungle Book and Cinderella. I was mildly nervous that first performance and things were a bit crazy but by the last performance we'd got almost everything down which really made things feel like they flowed a bit better. Funny thing was that the day of the last performance, was the day before Alex got here. So I went right from being busy all day with Summer Stock to being busy all day with my Canadian and whoever else we could drag into whatever it was we were doing. It's strange looking back on it all, strange thinking about all the things that are over and done, and strange to think about what's soon to begin. I'm happy, not everything is the way I'd like it, but that doesn't matter. I had, what I'd like to think of as a good senior year, and I most certainly had a wonderful summer and I think if I can keep this attitude it can only get better. I think I've already said this before but I can't wait for school to start, I'm really looking forward to it.
On the list of things that are going well, my bro and his girlfriend seem to have worked some things out. I don't know if it's a total fix or just temporary but any fix in their relationship is better than none, I really do want things to work out for him but it's hard considering that I'm not sure he even knows what he wants out of life. Which I can understand, some people just can't find the thing they want to do for the rest of their lives right off the bat. I'm not even sure where I'm going to go with theatre, but I at least know the general direction I want my life to go. Few things, I have found, beat the excitment of being involved in a play or musical, both on stage and off stage. But sadly not everyone has even that general idea of what they want to do, which is what I think is my bro's problem. But hopefully he's finding a direction. At any rate, with my bro and his girlfriend having patched things up it looks like my room will remain a one individual residence which I won't lie, makes me happy. If he only came back for a little while I'd be ok with that, but somehow I had a feeling that if he had come back to stay for "a little while" that "little while" would have turned into what I like to call "a conciderable amount of time." Now I'm not against my bro here, but I don't know if anyone quite realizes how much I've wanted a room to myself after sharing one for most of my life up to this point. This is a topic I've come back to quite often and said basically all the really needs saying so I'm going to cut this off here.
In the way of the lighter note it appears my father finally got an air conditioner for my room, so I'll finally be able to cool my room down to a reasonable tempurature. And it won't be so bad when I have people over either. My room isn't very well connected to the house AC so it doesn't really get any from that, so it's naturally warmer and kind of stuffy since it's enclosed, and when you add the body heat of multiple individuals it really gets uncomfortable. On the topic of the condition of my room, I'm going to have to do a lot of cleaning. It's gotten to be quite a mess since Alex has been staying here. I've done practically nothing to keep it clean really. The only time I really did any cleaning was for my birthday and that was so it wouldn't look too shaby and so that there would be enough space to accomodate all the people who were coming. Tomorrow after Alex is gone, one of two things will happen. I'll either come home and over haul my room, or I'll come home and feel completely not up to doing anything and I'll probably just sit around for a while, maybe read a book since I've got several of them I need to read.
Since I've mentioned my reading I think I'll take this momment to discuss what I've been reading lately. The first new book I took out was the book Wicked, and if you don't know what it's basically about the Wicked Witch of the West and how she got to where she was in the Wizard of Oz. It's sort of depressing but it's very well written book and a nice read as long as you don't mind a less than happy ending. I've got two other books I'm borrowing from my friend Kelly, these are The Angel's Command by Brian Jacques and Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey. I've not read them yet but I'm told they are quite good. Now the next book is one I'm currently reading through and is absolutely hilarious, it is the Zombie Survival Guide and it was a birthday gift. I've got to tell you I sure as heck will be prepared when the zombie hordes rise and start to devour humanity, though I hope it will never get to that point. I've been jumping between reading the Zombie Survival Guide and another book I'm borrowing called Dragons of Autumn Twilight and it's volume one in the Dragonlance Chronicles. I've read this book before, but it's been a while and I really like the story so I don't mind reading it again. I was just thinking to myself, if I ever can get my webcomic up and going, I'd like to have a Zombie Survival Tip of the Week attatched somewhere on the home page. I think that'd be pretty freaking cool.
Zombie Survival Tip of the Week: Flamethrowers should never be used for a small out break. Why carry seventy pounds of equipment on your back for only a handful of ghouls are loose? Plus the weight of the flamethrower makes it a liability if you are on the move.
It would certainly need some work but I think given time I could get pretty good at it.
And on that note I think I'll end this.
