What's that? An anonymous poster? Reprimanding me for LJ neglect?
Well, I guess it's true that I will often promise or offer an update, and then one will not be forthcoming. I guess this thing is still read though, huh. I mean it's funny that if you think about it, the people on livejournal that your friends with, who your still reading, probably also read you still, yeah? And then there are people who just follow your livejournal, and you'd have no idea. I've had a few of those. A few of them have declared their passionate love for me. Yeah, that shit went down. It happened. It wasn't as climactic as I thought it would be when it did.
Anyway, yeah, last week I thought I'd be going to California, then I had the rug pulled out from under me by my girlfriend's mom, and then she flew me out? It was weird. But I was just happy to see my GF. I had been living under several days worth of despair, when I get that dropped, and I flew out after all and we had a beautiful time together, ohmygosh it was so lovely, being back with her and in Berkeley in Spring. The plan as it stands is to spend the summer together in Berkeley, maybe rent a sublet, or get her housing for next semester since she might need to be off campus, and take a course or two, each of this. This is really just an excuse to go to California and be together, but summer school is fun as well. This will be my third year doing it, in yet another place. I can't wait to be with her again, she is quite beautiful and wonderful and various other things.
Oh but I never did talk about my NYU audition huh? Yes, I was rather depressed after that all thing went down and didn't want to really talk about anything else, did I. Well, it was really good, I thought. It was in this random building in midtown, at like 28th and 6th or something like that. Rather near where my buddy Harry from NYFA used to live actually, I went over a bunch of times to hang out and party and stuff. So my audition, I got there, checked in, and was called up second for my interviewer/auditioner person. This is probably because I signed up like, 10 minutes after it opened up. This I think was a good thing, hopefully it made a stronger impression that I went in earlier. So I did my monologues, one of which I had just gotten down like the night before, which was actually kinda cool, even though a lot of people would be very nervous, performing a monologue for the first time at an audition like that, it felt very fresh and vital to me, and I really thought I carried it, and it was just a really strong piece. My other monologue I had in my pocket much longer, but it was also a well written piece, and a very good character for me to play. After the audition part, there was like a five or so minute interview, the whole thing, monologues and interview, was limited to ten minutes, but both were very good I thought. For one, she had worked at the ART, so knew my acting teachers at Harvard Extension, KA-CHING, that's always a good thing in an audition when they look at your resume and say "oh hey you studied/worked with so and so". And she just asked me a bunch of questions, and we really had a nice flow going, and she seemed really interested, and yeah it was good.
Then I fell under a blanket of despair. Then I was lifted out of it. Getting to California was kind of a bitch, I had to take three planes, one shuttle from Logan to JFK, yuck what a horrible air port, then a long ass flight from JFK to Phoenix on this crowded jumbo jet where my seat wouldn't stay back, then a delay in Phoenix, and another shuttle to Ontario. Did I mention that I didn't sleep the night before since my flight left at 6 so I just stayed up? Yeah I was in kind of a daze. Then I got to Ontario, which is in SoCal near Riverside where she lives, and spent a night in her mom's house which wasn't so bad actually I got to see where she lived and the mom was gone most of the night which I appreciated. And flew to Berkeley the next morning, and had a nice time there, then sadly I had to fly back on the redeye Monday night.
This week has been classes mostly, not a lot of "Hamlet" or as its now known The Tragedy of Hamlet: Prince of Denmark although that shit is going up in less than a month yo and we have work to motherfucking do, all of us. Classes are OK, I like them, but this semester has been tough, since I'm not taking anything especially fluffy, or it feels that way not having any acting or like art related classes, besides Modern Drama.
Oh, and the other thing I did was get in my application to NYU. I find out in May sometime, and here's to hoping for the best! Seriously, that would be so incredible if I got in, such a reversal from high school, and I think I have a shot, I've got the GPA and shit, but we'll see, we shall see indeed.
