so my dad has taken a liking to youtube. i love seeing home videos of me as a child crying. here is one:

my dad wants to put up one of when i was a kid and he would chase my brother around in a cemetary pretending to be a zombie. there is even one shot of him rising out of a grave to come get us...and some guy is in the background; i'm sure he was visiting a loved one who had died. i guess we had no respect for the dead?
this week has been stressful. i started my new job at the rec center in my dorm. i got paid to take a yoga class...which i do anyway. so yay for that. i have lots of homework and tests this week...but i'm so excited for spring break. i seriously need to rest. i've been dancing, volunteering, working, and....schooling? not to mention being sick along with it all. and for the first time, i actually KNEW one of the dogs they put down at the shelter. that was hard. his name was jessie, and he was a good boy. they put dogs down for such stupid fucking reasons sometimes.
today, i had my first aid class, which is so hella boring. kind of common sense, and i didn't even get paid for it. and then on sunday i have cpr class from 9-5!!!!! how long does it god damn take? i've taken cpr twice before and i'm sure i'll have to take it for camp this summer...ARG! anyway, after class kelly and i went and saw cyrano here. i'm so sick of central's plays. they are NEVER any good. it's either the show choice, the actors, or in this case, it was the directing choices. the show was set in 1650, yet they were playing modern rock and roll songs, the girl was wearing a modern outfit, yet the guys were dressed in period pieces. like, are you serious??? i didn't mean to laugh at it, but i did. i just sat there laughing. especially when cyrano died at the end. when people are sitting, they don't just die by putting their head down. they fall, they crap themselves, they have spasms, WHATEVER...but the DON'T just let their head drop. i remember the first time i saw something at cmu; it was waaaay back in my senior year of high school...it was some choral concert and it was AWFUL!!! all the girls were flat or sharp, and they thought they were soooo good. the theatre department isn't as bad as those girls were of course, but it was my first impression of cmu... i love the teachers here and the classes THEMSELVES are very good...but the shows??
i honestly think it's because the first shows i saw were on broadway. i was very little, so after that, nothing ever compared...ESPECIALLY high school/college productions. i can't stand seeing 19 year olds playing 40 year olds, or even WORSE, high school kids playing 50 year olds. the standard bad acting choice of high school kids playing older people is doing that fucking "rickedy" voice, like that old crotchedy sound....which i've never even met an EIGHTY year old that does that. BAD BAD BAD!!! those teachers seem to encourage that shit, too. that's one thing i like about the head of our program; he doesn't buy into all that fake acting shit.
UGH, sorry for the rant. i am just sick of seeing all those shitty shows, not only at cmu but everywhere. especially the ones when i was in high school HOLY CRAP! i'm going to nyc this summer and i can't WAIT to see professional shows again. we used to see them all the time until 9-11. my mom was scared to go there after that, but for my camp job i get free transportation there, so I'M GOING.
so after the play, kelly and me went to some party. there was this fat bitch there that kept saying "don't touch my iTOUCH!" emphasizing the fact that it wasn't just an ipod, but and itouch. we hadn't touched it all night. then she accused us of stealing some other chicks iPOD. we didn't even see it. then she asked the girl where it was and she said "oh, i already locked it in my room." fat girls are so annoying.
i wore my new necklace and everybody liked it.
