(no subject)
I'm sad because we haven't been able to do anything with m3p3 for so long. So I think I'm going to open apps for a free-for-all tomorrow (for next weekend). I can't believe that we haven't had one yet this semester. So yes.
Aslyn came to GAC on Thursday. She wasn't really what I expected. I would have never picked her out based on the album picture. And she bounces a lot. Her voice was a bit strange at first, but after she warmed up it was amazing when she hit certain notes. "Wally" was perfect.
BIG HAPPY NEWS! My dad got the tickets, and now it's for sure that on January 6th we're going to Vegas! It's only for the weekend (though gambling makes me sad and I don't like being in crowds a whole lot, so I'm glad for this), but I get to see Cirque! This is my graduation present from my dad, which I think is really thoughtful, because he actually remembered all by himself that I've wanted to see this show for many, many years (synchro!!!).
I have a bunch of questions going through my head right now. Things that I'd really like peoples' opinions on. Seriously, any kind of discussion/response at all. If you don't want to write about it in a public entry, you can email me, or even (gasp!) talk to me in person if we live in the same building. Please? Alright.
1. How much do you believe in "self-improvement?" Or even changing some aspect of who you are? Are we meant to try to be "the best people we can be," and if so, how much change is alright before you're essentially not "your true self" anymore?
For example (and this is a general, "simple" "problem"), I'm a procrastinator. Is this a bad thing? Is it something that I need to change, or is it one of those traits that makes me who I am (so trying to change would be like trying to deny some critical part of myself)?
2. Do you believe that (for you specifically) there is such a thing as "right," "wrong," "good," and "bad?" I'm not talking about subjective terms here, because I totally allow that everyone is going to have their own definitions of these words and to what they apply- just in general, are you able to use these labels?
I ask because I spent my last art class arguing with the prof because he doesn't believe in any of these terms ever. I can understand not using them in terms of art, but.... is it even possible to function in a world if you have no personal set of values?
3. Last question. Is it worse to end a relationship in a blaze of "glory" (with a huge blow-out), or to slowly drift away until you've lost all contact. At what point do you just cut the ties with people (because you just can't think about them any more)?
This is a pretty long entry. And I still need to talk about Missy, and maybe RENT (though I think I'm going to wait until after the second viewing). Plus my mini-QaFUK marathon thoughts.
