so we went to amsterdam this past weekend....i dont really have any words for it. i knew it was gonna be very very different, but you just have no idea. the canals and streets were truly beautiful, and everyone rides around on bikes. its like you're transported back in time to the 60s. so fun. the red light district was insane. its like no other place on earth. we met a local guy named oscar who was totally cool and nice and he took us around that area and gave us a tour of everything. i thought the red light district was just a street or two...its not...its all these ally ways and main roads and it just keeps going and going and going. its like a crazy maze of all these different women in red lights with business men of all shapes and sizes and nationalities....and they're all "shopping". its freaky. and we went to a lot of museums...the anne frank house was my favorite. you think its really not going to affect you all that much cuz theres no furniture or anything...but just being there...i was so moved. and then theres the coffeeshops. yes i smoked weed....not a lot of weed, but a fair amount. its so neat that i can say that i got high in amsterdam. :) all the coffeeshops were super cool with candles and techno music and really nice people and paintings everywhere. so yea, that was amsterdam...in a nutshell.
other awesome news....I MET KEVIN SPACEY! we saw him in richard II....he was pretty bad. but we waited by the stage door and i got his autograph and had a short conversation with him about acting school. he was arrogant and it was obvious he didnt like being a celebrity, but i met him. he's one of my favorites...american beauty changed my life...partly because of him. and now i can say that i've seen him on stage...i was four rows away :) and i can say that i met him. ah...so happy.
so thats it for now...i still love love love my acting class...its the best. so hard but so rewarding. i like everything else, but nothing too exciting. voice and shakespeare and alexander are pretty cool. and stage combat...i like everything...yea. ok well look at my webshots for amsterdam pics and look at dj's pics cuz he has some good ones from other things.
happy belated birthday to jamianne!
and i'd just like to let the world know that mary and val are friends again, much to my delight! so when i get back, the threesome will be in full affect. :)
