Well! I got the part I wanted!
*fireworks*
I am Sir Toby Belch, uncle to the rich Olivia, drunkard and practical joker. I hang around with Sir Andrew Aguecheeck, who is even drunker than I am. Together we run about causing random mayhem, and at times Olivia's chief maid Maria (who the director described as "a fifteenth-century biker chick") hires them to act out her schemes. In this play we shall all group together and trick Malvolio, the uptight, puritan steward of Olivia, that his mistress is in love with him. Hilarity ensues.
Oh, and the rest of the play has something to do with crossdressing, mistaken identity, and a gay sea captain.
This is going to rock so hard.
The guy who's playing Sir Andrew is named George, and he is ten kinds of hilarious. He's got complete drunkard down cold, and he plays it with a Scottish accent, with hilarity spiking several times whenever he speaks. It will be gold, I tell you, gold.
Last night I woke up at four-thirty in the morning with a raging inferno somewhere deep within my left shoulder-again. So I had to stumble around in the dark looking for my pain pills half-blind and trying to keep as quiet as I could so as not to wake my roommate. I'm just lucky that there's a parking garage directly across from our window (oi...the noise during the mornings, though...) which acts as a convenient nightlight during our nocturnal wanderings. I got ice and eventually found pills in my backpack, but I think I'm going to go buy some more effective ones-these pills seem to be rather hit-and-miss. Sometimes they work fabulously and sometimes not at all.
I've also had a sore throat since yesterday evening, so I'm going to invest in some multivitamins if I can find them. The trouble with inner-city shopping, at least in Madrid (though I suspect it's a European thing) is that instead of finding anything you could ever want in a single store, everything is spread around so that I have to buy pain pills in a farmacia, batteries in a ferretería, looseleaf in a papelería, food in a supermercado, and get my hair cut in a peluquería. The last may not be a good example, but I couldn't think of any more specialized stores.
Annoying, but necessary in this world we live in. At any rate, I don't know if I would buy multivitamins in a pharmacy or a supermarket, but I need to go to both today anyway. Since it's Saturday, however, this means that the vast majority of pharmacies will be closed, with only one per ten-block area or so staying open 24/7.
So of course my shoulder would pick Friday night to throw a fit. *shakes fist*
001. What is Your Name? Daniel Louis!
002. How old are you? I am nineteen, going on twenty-er, teen…

http://enero25.deviantart.com General
004. What is your height? 5’10”, so that’s…178 cm.
005. Do you have any siblings? Two older siblings, Carey and Jesse, plus one non-blood sibling, Amanda.
006. What is your eye colour? Blue, but Hermanita says they look green at times.
007. What is your hair color? Light brown with natural golden highlights.
008. Do you wear glasses or contacts? Contacts, or else I stumble around looking at things and people from three inches away.
009. Are you right handed or left handed? Right.
010. Do you have any piercings? Nope.
011. Do you smoke? Nope.
012. Do you swear? I don’t, no. It’s a religious thing, and I notice it keeps me out of a lot of trouble with the locals. *glares at crazy drivers who may or may not run me down*
013. Do you get along with your parents? I do indeed, but with the flowering of adulthood, much better from a distance.
014. Your heritage: By adoption, seventh-generation Mormon. By blood, northern European with a dash of Mediterranean and Native American for good measure.
015. Your fears: I’m still scared of the dark and of new situation that don’t have clear instructions. *glances fearfully at the washing machine*
016. Goal you would like to achieve this year: To cook eggs for breakfast by the end of September.
017. Most overused phrase on an instant messenger: Recently, I’ve been perusing a trivia chatroom, and whenever anyone gets something correct, I type “wd.”
018. Best Physical Feature: My eyes are the most admired attribute by the public, but my legs are pretty dang awesome because they tend to stay strong, allowing for heavy lifting.
019. Your bedtime: On weekdays, around 11:30. On weekends, around 2 in the morning.
020. What time do you arise in the morning? The sun tends to wake me up around 8:30, which is conveniently when I need to get up anyway for work.
021. First thoughts waking up? They usually center somewhere on, “What day is it today? Do I have work?”
022. Do you shower daily? Indeed, gentle reader, for if I did not I would present a sight most unpleasant.
This Or That?
023. Bright or dark room? Bright rooms, because it helps me avoid eyestrain while staring at the screen.
024. Chocolate or vanilla? Chocolate, because it has much more personality than vanilla. When I was a kid, vanilla was synonymous with “plain.”
025. Dogs of cats? Cats, because they’re more like roommates than pets.
026. Pepsi or Coke? Coca-cola! I’ve been going crazy with it because decaffeinated coke is spread far and wide over here.
027. McDonalds or Burger King? Tienda Verde, where the bread is hard but oh-so-delicious!
028. Ant or Dec? A six-legged insect or the decimal system? I guess the environment needs ants more.
029. Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea? Water for me, too, please. *motions at bottle of water next to laptop*
030. Cappuccino or Coffee? Hot chocolate with whipped cream on top!
In the last month have you...
031. Drank alcohol? Nope.
032. Gone to a mall? Nope.
033. Eaten a box of Oreos? No, but I was sorely tempted.
034. Eaten sushi? No, but I used to pass a Japanese restaurant on the way to school. I wonder if it’s still there…
035. Been on stage? No, but I will be in the next two months!
036. Been dumped? Not unless you count my Free Hugs meeting, where only one person showed up. *sniff*
037. Gone skinny dipping? No, and never have. The risk of fish is too high.
038. Stolen Anything? Hm. Does taking a baggie I didn’t buy from a cupboard in the apartment I live in count? I’m pretty sure it was abandoned.
Have you ever...
039. Laughed for no reason? Sure.
040. Been caught doing something you weren't supposed to do? Well, duh.
041. Been in love? Not that I recall, no.
042. Fired a gun? Only if the BB guns at scout camp count.
043. Been drunk? Nope.
044. Been called a Tease? Why, yes, I have, but probably not in the manner you are speaking of.
045. Been beaten up? No, I stayed out of trouble.
046. Shoplifted? No, I would just plop gum or whatever on the conveyor belt when Mom wasn’t looking.
What was the last....
047. Furry thing you touched? That would be Sassy, before I left home.
048. Thing you've said? “It would appear that several children were killed in the raids last night…” I say random things to myself sometimes.
049. Song you've listened to? Oh…I think it was when I finally downloaded “Hips Don’t Lie,” after watching that darned video on YouTube again.
050. Person you've spoken to on the phone? Yi, when she called to see how the Free Hugs meeting went. *tear*
051. Movie you watched? Advent Children-in Spanish!-on YouTube.
052. Thing you were doing before this? Sipping delicious hot chocolate in an effort to calm my firy throat.
053. Time you cried? You know, I can’t remember.
054. Song you've sang? I was singing along to “Kiss,” by Prince. I need help.
055. Time you looked at the clock? A few minutes ago, to see if I had enough time to get to a papelería before they closed. I probably don’t.
056. Food and drink you've had? A banana and hot chocolate.
057. Flavor of gum you've chewed? I think-peppermint.
058. Shoes you've worn? My sneakers, like I always do.
059. Store you've been in? Telepizza, when I was too tired after the audition to cook.
Favourite...
060. Planet? Venus. Its colonization will be the highlight of human expansion, just wait and see.
061. Age you've been so far? 19 has been pretty dang awesome, with all its new experiences and fun.
062. Season? Summer, because summer nights are the best nights.
063. Number? I like positive, even integers. I am secretly disappointed if a math problem yields otherwise.
064. TV show? Nova will always have a special place in my heart, though we be separated by great distances. Frontline is also high on my list, mostly because it has the most class of any current events program I’ve seen, and partly because they release their shows on the Internet for free. Now that’s giving power to the people! Love PBS, people, love it!
065. Flower? Marigolds were always my favorite growing up because my mom convinced me they had special bug-repulsing powers. Nowadays I like irises.
Random...
066. How much cash do you have on you? 20€ and $80.
067. What's a word that rhymes with 'door'? Sore.
068. What T-Shirt are you wearing? One of my uglier dress shirts-the plaid brown, gray, and white one. It’s Saturday!
069. What brand of shoes are you wearing? I am barefoot!
070. What did your last text message say? Free hugs @ 1830 @ skul ok?
071. What were you doing at midnight last night? I was on the Internet, probably thinking about going to bed but deciding to stay up since it was the weekend.
072. What's your current desktop picture? A beautimous galaxy!
073. What's a word that you say a lot? “Awesome!” It has lost its grandeur for me.
074. If you were a crayon, what colour would you be? Yellow-green, maybe.
075. How is the weather right now? I can’t really tell because the window in the kitchen looks into a deep courtyard and I’m on the bottom floor, but it’s probably sunny and warm. It always is.
076. What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex? Their hair, but if they’re dressed really well I tend to notice that first. Yesterday in Philosophy a girl came in looking like she was ready for the catwalk and I was all, “…Devil Wears Prada…”
077. Are you too shy to ask someone out? Yeah, and also I have no idea what we’d do.
078. Can you do a headstand (not using a wall)? I’ve tried, but no.
079. Who would you like to see right now? Hummina…a cat would be nice.
080. How many pillows do you sleep with? Two, because I sleep on my side and I like to keep my vertebrae straight.
081. Would you go on a date with someone on MySpace? No. Nononononononono.
082. How do you want to die? In some meaningful way, like pushing a child out of the way of an oncoming bus or some fashion like that.
083. What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher seems to fit my personality rather well, but I’d like to be well paid, so a teacher in the States is out of the question.
084. What country would you most like to visit? Argentina or Mongolia. Argentina because I’ve heard so much about their accents, and Mongolia because it looks like it has the most beautiful countryside in the world.
085. How many CDs do you own? …I think they’re all back in the States, and I think they number about thirteen.
086. How many things, in your past, do you regret? Too many, but I’m trying to move on.
087. Do you think you are attractive? I tend to waver between thinking I look absolutely ridiculous and thinking I look ok.
088. Do you believe in yourself? Not really. Things generally get done when I’m not focusing on myself.
089. Do you want to get married? I’m not entirely sure I want to give up independence, but I must first have independence to make sure.
EXTRA!
1. Are you happy at the moment? Not particularly. Nothings happened yet. I may be happy to find an open pharmacy.
2. When's your birthday? January 25.
3. How was school today? There is no school today, for it is the weekend! W00t!
4. What do you think of guys in eyeliner? Why not? If girls can walk around in pants, why can’t men walk around in eyeliner?
5. Are you watching tv? No, because they talk too fast for me to understand. I’m thinking about watching the news every night, though, just to stay current and practice.
6. What did you have for breakfast? Hot chocolate and a banana because I’ve forgotten or not had time to buy my usual cookies for three days running.
7. Would you kiss a stranger? I’m too paranoid about my breath.
8. Is there any writing on your hand? No, but if I’m too lazy to get out a piece of paper, yeah.
9. Have you ever met a famous person? I met the cast from “Touched by an Angel,” when they filmed at my middle school.
10. Do you think rainbows are faggotish? Real rainbows, no. Rainbow flags and assorted paraphernalia, yeah, but isn’t that the point? Real rainbows are more Wizard-of-Ozish.
11. What’s your favorite cereal? Lucky Charms, which I haven’t eaten in four years.
12. What do you say if someone gives you a compliment such as 'I like your hair'? I say “Thank you very much!” and usually forget to compliment them back. I tend to focus conversation on myself, which is bad, but lately I’ve been improving.
13. Do you believe in bad luck? Sure, why not? It’s just another word for “high occurrence of negative events.”
14. George Bush? He’s screwed up and won’t admit it, but he’s only one cog in the machinery. If people really wanted change, they would put pressure on Congress, not Bush. Checks and balances, people.
15. Do you like saying 'hi' or 'hey' better? “Hey,” because it fits better with, “How’s it going?”
16. Are you a myspace addict? Facebook, LJ, and DevArt addict.
17. Did you do anything physically active today? Today it looks like I’ll be doing some walking.
18. Does anything on your body hurt at the moment? My throat, and my shoulder still feels a little weird.
19. Do you hate a lot of people? Hate is a strong word, which I associate with situations more than with people. I hate mowing the lawn with a passion, which is my measuring stick, and I can say that since I was about nine years old there’s no person I’ve hated like I hate mowing the lawn. There’s people I avoid and dislike, of course, but, again, nothing approaching hatred.
20. Is your ass big? Yeah…
21. If it’s not, do you wish it was? I wish it was more defined.
22. What’s your favorite tv show? Alzheimer’s is upon you!
23. Do you like peanut butter and jelly? I like jelly on dinner rolls, but peanut butter lost its charm when I was a wee lad. Too bad; it’s really healthy.
24. Are you perverted? Somewhat, yes. I’m not a pure person by any means.
25. Do you have a favorite movie? Not really, because I have rather low standards when it comes to movies. The only movie I have ever disliked was “Master of Disguise,” because it was so stupid.
26. Did you do anything extremely random today? No, not really.
27. Have you ever fallen to the ground laughing? I have indeed, sir! I can’t remember the exact situation, but it occurred seven months ago in a class.
28. What would you do if myspace got shut down? I have everyone’s e-mail.
29. Has a friend of the opposite sex ever slept over your house? Yes, indeed, but only when we were small children.
30. Do you like the beach? I like wading, but not swimming. I’m too self-conscious to reveal myself that way.
I absolutely love this commercial.
