I'm sick of smiling, and so is my jaw

Jan 24, 2007 12:57

Time for a real update? I suppose. Went to auditions last night. It's funny how I wasn't really nervous about them, and now I'm sitting here thinking, "Wait, they're over already?" It was a stragely out of body kind of event. We'll cross our fingers, I suppose. I mean, I have no great hope for getting cast in this show, and I've pretty much talked myself out of getting heartbroken over it. There are worse things in life, right?

Now, she feels safe in this bar on Fairfax
And from the stage I can tell that she can't let go and she can't relax
And just before she hangs her head to cry
I sing to her a lullaby

I've been wasting a lot of gas lately. I don't like just sitting at home on my ass doing nothing. My course shedule is crazy easy this semester, so living from assignment to assignment doesn't seem to be an option as of the moment. So I drive. And I've realized, I think that's the only time that I feel okay to cry...

Everything's gonna be all right...

My mom got a real job! I'm so excited for her. She had been doing some substituting in Livonia Schools for Paraprofessionals. Well, about 2 weeks ago, she had interviews at two schools for a permanent parapro position. Needless to say, they hired her in, full time, with benifits, at Frost Middle School working with the autistic kids. I'm so proud! It's good to see her smiling for a change.

She still lives with her mom outside the city
Down that street about a half a mile
And all her friends tell her she's so pretty
But she'd be a whole lot prettier if she smiled once in a while
`Cause even her smile looks like a frown
She's seen her share of devils in this angel town

I had a good afternoon/evening on Friday. Marilee and I had our semi-annual Tim Hortons's lunch and movie date. After food, we went to her house and watched Take the Lead with *change in accent* Antonio Banderas! Fabulous movie. A tad cliche, and not quite as sexy as I was anticipating, but overall it had a very good message and was fun to watch. I missed Marilee. I don't see her nearly as much as I'd like to, which is so stupid because we're both at commuter colleges. *kicks self*

Everything's gonna be all right...

Everyone, please forgive my emo-tasticness. I'll LJ-Cut the today's lyric, to save all you poor souls.

"Boston" by Augustana
In the light of the sun, is there anyone?
Oh it has begun...
Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
This world you must've crossed.
You said...

You don't know me, you don't even care.
You don't know me, you don't wear my chains...

Essential and appealed
Carry all your thoughts across an open field.
When flowers gaze at you they're not the only ones who cry when they see you

You don't know me, you don't even care.
You don't know me, you don't wear my chains.

She said I think I'll go to Boston
I think I'll start a new life
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover and fly em out to Spain
I think I'll go to Boston
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice

Boston... where no one knows my name...

Don't know what my plans are for the rest of the week. Guess I'm gonna have to get used to that... Perhaps I'll see you all at callbacks, or Ground Round, or whatever else may take place activity wise. Have a good day, guys. :)

Everything's gonna be all right...
