Back from Neverland
Yes, I am still alive and I still know how to use Livejournal. My excuse for not posting for months is that I am too busy. This is a half truth. When I am not working, directing a show, going to class, acting in shows, getting drunk or maintaining life (eating, sleeping, bathing, doing laundry etc.), I post. I am currently not doing any of those things, so I am posting.
Now...what to say...
I'm pretty sure I'm going to be a fantastic failure. And it looks like I'm picking up in the Gonzales tradition of being a coward. There are a number of possibilities of where I will be during the summer. The two major ones are LA and Boston. Colorado is last on the list, sorry fellow mountain-timers. The choice I have to make is between the immediate pleasures of a lot of money (Boston) or the delayed pleasures of experience (LA). I am in LA right now, thinking that I was going to go for experience interning in LA, but now that I'm here, I am too lazy and nervous to actually go out and apply for internships. There seems to be so much involved. I have to update my resume, contact employers, impress employers, find a place to stay, get my car, find a way to get enough money to live, learn a new city...the list goes on and on. Choosing Boston would entail applying for a job that I'm pretty sure I can get and even if I don't get it, I have a backup job that I just need to say yes to. Place to stay is solved, money would come from work, and I already know Boston like the back of my hand. However, the money I earn this summer will most likely be gone by the end of 2007 and I'll be back where I started. Life choices suck.
I'm pissed about the Oscars this year. Crash? Are you fucking kidding me? I know the world is racist and I know Matt Dillon and Ryan Phillipe are bad actors. Why does America appreciate such things? Because it makes us feel better about ourselves, even though we won't actively do anything to change it. I'm clinging to the hope that Jack Nicholson was too drunk when he presented so he misread the envelope. Is it just me or did it not even look like he opened it?
Some cool things about my Spring Break in LA: Getting to meet all the past Troupies that I have heard so much about. Driving for hours on the 101 listening to Alexei whine about the silliness of SoCal. Surprising Julie Mallen in the middle of studying for her midterm thus proving that I had friends in high school. Sleeping until 2, waking up and having a beer for breakfast. Watching Jordan's Futurama episodes. In and Out. Pinks. Not having to worry about Lend Me a Tenor, class or work. Seeing Erin and gloating about how old she is (even though it's an eerie look into the future).
I'm a film major now, btw. Fuck marine biology. Transferring majors took way too much stress, work and embarrassment than it should have, but now that it's done, I'm much happier. Waiting tables, here I come. It seems like everything is much easier. Getting up in the morning, doing well in classes, dealing with people, studying, partying no longer seem like chores. They have become steps to reaching a goal that I am finally excited about not only completing, but working towards.
My wrist hurts. Typing sucks. Jordan's in a bad mood. I think I'll have another beer.
SPRING BREAK!!!!!
