what a bizarre weekend. a partial account of some of the slightly less bizarre aspects:
today, i had an 11 hour and 40 minute tech rehearsal. that is not an exaggeration. 10 am until 9:40 pm. everyone in our theatre department is awesome. however, we have a visiting director who is the biggest moronic idiotic fool ever, whose personality and directing style leave everything to be desired. so, we all despise our director, and then feel a little bad about it because he's pretty much pathetic in general... anyway, sitting in the green room for 12 hours made us all a bit loopy. the thing i love about our theatre department is that the people who do theatre here aren't "theatre people." and that makes all the difference.
so last night, i decided that if i've been having all the horrendous symptoms of being drunk (dizziness, nausea, etc) without any of the benefits - then the logical thing to do would be to become very, very inebriated. actually, i had just been shooting for pleasantly tipsy but the vodka was really cheap and we were drinking it straight from the bottle and i kinda lost a fair measure of how much i drank. anyway, it was pretty damn splendid to let go. i love how when you're sick and unhappy the thing you need the most - to let go - is supposedly the worst thing for you. but i figured that maybe once being drunk wore off, the vertigo would magically dissipate as well. turns out, i was wrong. however, i do feel quite a bit better today. curiouser and curiouser... but i was definitely left alone in bobby's room for a while and first i amused myself by trying to type, which was really fucking difficult; then i decided to call an assortment of people, and good lord i have no idea what i said to them... oops. i think between bobby and i randomly punching buttons in my contacts list, we ended up calling a slew of people i hadn't talked to in quite some time. i'm extremely curious what we said to them... oh, i also remember hanging out with bobby and sam in alyssa's room... alyssa being our RA. ah, good times.
anyway, this week's going to be insane. tech tech tech every single day. plus midterms, essays, reading assignments, problem sets, work-study... and whereas i usually operate on no sleep relatively well, this whole vertigo thing has me thinking i should actually take care of myself as the insanity ensues. hmmm.
