SUMMER 2004
so basically no one is home in ridgewood and it SUCKS BALLS. oh well, susan and i saw 'the clearing' last night which might have been the worst movie ever made in the history of cinema. oh well, it was oodles of fun because we were the only 2 patrons of the Washington Township movie theatre at that time. we decided that they definitely wanted to close the theatre for the night but we walked in and spoiled their fun. WHATERR.
so summer has been quite an interesting one. here's why:
Graydon Day Camp - now, never in a million years would i have thought that i would be working with children. EVER. but, the power of $$$ overcame my judgement, and was magically hired as a head counselor of 3rd and 4th grade boys, despite my hatred for the chilluns. well, it was interesting to say the least. actually, it was a pretty sweet deal. who would have thought that my apathy and general laziness was worth 6.75 an hour? i guess Ridgewood Parks and Recreation does. Oh well, 6 weeks of yelling at kids wasn't as bad as i thought. and i made pretty good money. SWEET.
Summer NPC - WHOA. well, it was different than most summers. mostly due to the overwhelming amount of rehearsal. i didn't have an off night all summer, which would normally be annoying. BUT, this summer, for the first time, i felt like i received valuable theatre training from the New Players Company, mostly because of the acquisition of Tracy Bersely, our extremely talented and qualified choreographer. i spent 29084098027298479827 hours in rehearsal, but i loved every minute of it. because i think that's what gets lost. people get so caught up in the social aspect of it, (which is awesome, mind you), that they forget that we're there to put on a show. i love theatre more than i love socializing, so this was definitely a worthwhile summer. BALLZ.
dance - i've been dancing a lot more, mostly due to pippin. WHOA. i took the most AMAZING theatre tap class @ BDC, where we learned the Tony winning choreography from 'Thoroughly Modern Millie.' (Forget About the Boy). It was amazing. just emphasizes that i need to do this for the rest of my life. but yea, i've been dancing more and more, and it's been awesome.
well, this week sucks because everyone is away, and i am not. HOWEVER, i will be departing for THE QUEEN CITY: CINCINNATI, OHIO! on thursday, to check out CCM @ University of Cincinnati. they have a kickass program, so it should be excellent.
WHOA LONGEST ENTRY EVER WRITTEN HOLY BALLZ
