which way's up?
so i figured it's about time i posted. since my last entry, alpha phi has been replaced with the RPI Players. yes, i was desistered for trying to make things better in the house... oh well. i've wasted too much time and energy on that to the point where my grades, job search, and sanity has suffered... but enough complaining. :-)
last saturday night, with the close of man of la mancha, i was playered!!!!!!!!!! the show was amazingly fantastic, and got six straight standing ovations. brad was amazing. i knew he was a fantastic actor, but this was the first time i actually got to see him. everyone else was also completely amazing, and i completely enjoyed the show. it was really great to have such a supportive group of friends around while i was going through such a tough time. as was mentioned many times during the 'old timers' luncheon, the players are a family - and i'm so greatful and honored that they count me as part of that family. it makes me so happy that random players say hi to me when they see me. i really need another group right now.
so for those that don't know, in order to be playered, you have to perform a skit (in groups), based on a given topic, and you have to be either cheered off, booed off, or take it off. the skit in which i was playered, they chose dillon to be an 18th century gentleman who wandered into a troy bar, and thought i was his lady. marilyn, ben and the other guy,whose name i can't remember (i'm so sorry), were supposed to be making fun of him. it was sooo bad.. i'm not sure how the hell we got cheered off. my brain turned to mush, and i couldn't think of anything to say. it's not like i had stage fright or anything, i just couldn't make my brain work... no one knew what an 18th century gentleman spoke like, so dillon just said "forsooth" about a million times. and apparently none of us could be heard. of course, now looking back, i can think of a million things to make that skit better ... ie, i could have acted like the whore i was dressed as. oh well. it was still a lot of fun, and now i'm playered :-) the party was lots of fun, i don't remember how many people i kissed, but isn't that the point? after seeing the recipe at the luncheon, i now know how that punch gets me so drunk. i only had two cups, but i was wasted. i heart players :-)
the semester's winding down, and i have way too much work to do still. i spent way too much time fighting battles this semester, and not enough on my work. oh well, just means i get to enjoy another amazing summer in troy. i'm really excited and can't wait. jack's staying here, morrigan's moving out, and i'm going to miss her, but jen's moving in, so that will be fun too. mike and thea and marilyn will be around, dillon and nate will be here until july, and a whole bunch of sigeps will be around. nate and i are going to try to get jobs waiting together, which should be lots of fun, and i'm going to spend the rest of the summer job searching and enjoying myself. i can't wait. life is good for now, and things are looking up. :-)
