Shades of light and dark.
I should probably do an update. It's just that so much has been happening in the secret areas of my life and the most personal corners of my mind over the last few months, so I have been posting countless private entries for my own benefit.
Overall, things have been rather peachy.
I'm absolutely loving working with the people in my drama group for 'Out of the Ether'. There are some brilliant actors and creative minds in there and I actually think this is the most productive and enjoyable group I've ever been a part of in uni drama. The fact that we're tackling Absurdism and sexuality too is really exciting for me.
Chatting with John lastnight made me realise just how far I've come in terms of my acting skills and imagination. There have been many times in the recent past when I have doubted my own skills and doubted that I have made any progress at all since high school. This is a frightening thought, mostly brought on by the standard of 'Die For Me' and the fact that I still can't overcome my stage fright. However, explaining our ideas and overall progress on this group-devised work to him, made me realise just how much my ideas and abilities have matured and grown over the years. Even if only slightly. This is a real comfort for me.
On a darker note, Lucy was telling me the other day that there is still a law exisiting in Maryland where if a woman consents to sex and then changes her mind at any point during penetration, and the man keeps on going, this does not constitute rape. If a woman initially says yes, and then no--too bad. The man has the legal right to continue....
...what the fuck?!!!
I just can't believe that this backward way of thinking still exisits! It's sickening and immoral.
...
On a lighter note, perhaps it's just me but there seems to be a hell of a lot of people wearing green t-shirts around campus lately. What's up with that?!! Did I miss the memo?
