Went to see an improv troop last night known as Speed of Thought Players. They were pretty bad. Not as bad as last year, but not as good as an improv troop should be. People at school can do so much better. We can do so much better. The thing about improv troops (professional ones) is that they try too hard to make things funny. To me improv doesn't need to be funny as long as its good acting. If you concentrate on acting the situations well its funny anyway. You don't have to try so hard. And the political/pop culture jokes are really unneccessary. Its not what improv is about.
Anyways, we didn't do much after that. Except discuss Boberts. Bobert is our word for a summer fling or Explo boyfriend. Alex is really into Boberts. She thinks that we are innocent and that a Bobert would make us (Kim really) more "experienced" and then it would be easier to get a real boyfriend. I find this absurd and shallow. I mean if you like someone and want to hang out with them fine, thats your call. But to use someone else just so you are experienced? No, I don't think.
Anyways, I woke late today, didn't have time to wake Allie, but I saw her at lunch so maybe she made it to 2nd period. She wasn't in mythology.... that was her posting yesterday btw. Yogiri. In mythology we did flood myths, pandora's box, and some cherokee thing along the lines of pandora's box. Greek stuff stalks me I swear. Its weird. We started Nietzsche in existential philosophy.
God is Dead!!!
thats Nietzsche for you. a pretty cool guy all in all, just clinically insane you know? lets see god is dead because the church killed it. Actually organized religion killed it in my opinion. See, through organized religion you view god objectively and therefore you know god and there is no faith and there's no need for god so god is dead. An example of viewing god objectively.... like through tradition, and the slave principle (being self-negation and other things) that makes god objective. I'm missing something really important here and I don't remember what it was. I need my notes.... Anyways, there's a dance tonight, trips tomorrow, and other stuff in the future. I'm going to a latin dance class at 4:00, that should be fun. Probably won't go to the dance if it rains cause it'll be inside and its hot inside cause there' s no airconditioning. Oh, acappella, we did lots of do do do do do wa da di da's and stuff. yeah.
Well thats a pretty good summary. I need to call my mom, I forgot yesterday. She didn't call me though, so hopefully she didn't worry. Do you like my lj? isn't it pretty? I like the partial transparency. Not everyone can see it though. I can't see it on the macs.
