got home saturday from school--got the tree and decorated it whilst brian went out and got my christmas present...mind you--it was in his posession 5 minutes before i got a phone call asking if he could give them to me that night...lol...so i got seinfeld seasons 1 & 2, a mighty wind, and a big fuzzy blankey with horses on it...and i watched all my new dvds while someone snored under my blankey....lol...it was nice...
i got a great deal of my shopping done yesterday with the sister....she's such a good motivater...i only have a few more things to do and then i can relax....but by the time i relax i'll have nothing to do but clean my room....arg...
today i went to rowan to finish up my stupid costuming sampler...for god's sake i designed and made a purse from scratch--why did i have to put a friggin ruffle on a sampler i started at the beginning of the semester...? whatever--its over...i learned a lot...next step: knitting lessons from oma....then cooking from mom...and i will be a full-fledged bona fide hausfrau...
know what i miss?? hockey....fuck football...there--i said it...dont get me wrong--i grew up in philly--go eagles....but seriously...i consider football to be the dumbest sport...i really do...bring back hockey...fuck this 4th down take-a-kneel shit...
ok--i need to get off-book badly....i have rehearsal tomorrow morning (yeah--gotta drive to rowan again) for adam's ACTF scene....granted--i'm excited to go--at that poitn in january i'll have nothing to do anyway--besides, i'll actually get to compete for the irene ryan for real this time--granted--i'm the scene partner this time around--but hey--doesnt matter--i still get to do all the workshops and let rowan put me up in a hotel room with all the theatre kids i love....its just a shame its just a bunch of actors and not a cast....like 'the gathering' was....god--candice and i had so much fun...."the fundome"....lol--great hotel...sharing a room and being on the road doing what we love--performing...i love travelling for the sake of performance--and i love hotels...lol...i just hate that they have to seperate us boys and girls as if we're horny teenagers who are planning an underage drunken orgy....well we're not!!....anymore...thanks rowan...lol
there are mashed potatoes in the fridge calling my name...i'm not even hungry--but this is what my mother's mashed potatoes do to me...but its not just me--its the whole family--mashed potato leftovers do not last more than 24 hours....no lie...so i wanna get to them before anyone else...and there are also brownies my sister made--yeah--with huge chocolate chips in 'em....practically chunks of fudge....oh man--now i'm getting hungry....
starting in january--i'm teaching three classes at dance incorporated...three whole theatre classes all to myself....wow...awesomeness...plus i start directing at the end of january--auditions...probably my favorite part about being a director...thats when you have the most power...lol...thats prolly why i like it so much....i lso think i may apply over the summer to direct at footlighters...dont know what show yet--but hey--we'll see if i even get acknowledged....and if i survive equus--dear god i'm busy next year....and it all starts with what is sure to be a crappy new years eve...what the hell am i gonna do this year?! brian will be in forida during that time--i have no escape!! someone come up with something good--fast!!...lol
