Vaginas and such
So I went to the first rehearsal for the Vagina Monologues. Turns out, SAY IT is one of the optional monologues. But there are going to be 10 people total doing it... which I guess I have no idea what the monologue is like, so we'll see how that turns out. The meeting was really cool. The directors are two of the most beautiful women I think I've seen. They seem pretty cool as well. They said it's going to be a 5 hour commitment every week as soon as we get back. That's kinda a lot.. oh well. haha there is this girl in my monologue group and she's a trip. We were going around exchanging unique names and everyone was like "oh it's just my first/last name, blah blah." But when it got to me and I was like "ummm bukymc." She started cracking up at me. And then when I spelled it she started laughing again and calling me "buky." That girl has got some attitude. haha I like that. I'm looking forward to getting to know that one better. Oh yeah, and apparently SAY IT is about a group of people talking to the Japanese government wanting them to say they've oppressed women or something. It made me wonder if I got cast for that one because I'm asian. Too bad I'm not Japanese. Not that that makes a difference since we asians all look alike.
Anyway, so yeah, I'm actually glad I'm doing the show. There's some real characters in the cast and it should be a lot of fun.
Read my soc "take home exam" which is really just an article I have to make 9 pages out of. Fundamentalism. Ugh. No idea what that article was talking about. Perhaps I should have done the reading all semester. What else is new, right?
My parents came to drop off my birth certificate and license. Liz suprised me with a trip to Toronto for our one year anniversary! I'm so excited. I love that place! But yeah, I realized that it really is time to tell my mother. Everyone else in the family knows except her. I am scared shitless. It's not even that she's going to care. I KNOW she won't. But that woman and I just have some issues and I can't bring myself to tell her. Anyway, when they stopped by, I could tell she recently found out. I just have this feeling. When she was asking me about my trip and stuff, she was kinda flushed and I just knew she knew. Ugh. Her knowing doesn't make it any easier to come out to her. Seriously, though, pure panic every time I think about it. Ugh.
The other day my roommate and I kinda got in an argument. I told her it sucked she decided this semester to study abroad. She said "this kinda thing happens all the time blah blah blah." I'm so sorry that some of us pay for our own shit and can't just pick up and decide to study abroad and then still lose money on our apartment. That explains my resentment. But even beyond that, I told her how it mostly sucked because I don't want to get stuck living with some homophobe. "Ok, first of all, I'd never let you live with a homophobe." I told her there are varying degrees of homophobia and especially when it comes to a living environment, I do not wish to tolerate any of it. Been there, done that. It sucks ass. She didn't understand. Martha Shelley didn't think straight people COULD understand it. (hey look i learned something) I tend to agree. I remember in high school when I told my lesbian friend two women couldn't have sex. I think I'll always feel like a total ass for that.
Anyway, finally going to go out (and not to a bar) tonight. Haven't done that in forever. Something about a fake frat that apparently everyone else knows about but since I'm "a cute little asian" I had no idea there was such a thing.
