Insert witty title here.
It's been far too long since my last update. At least, it feels that way. I've been ridiculously busy, and just got some down time. And what do I do with my downtime? Update. compulsively.
I've been doing nothing but performing the last few days. I'm glad it’s all over. Friday was our last performance and it went okay. At one point in the dance room across the hall the entire cast looked on as Travis screamed for ice and Roxanne was bleeding profusely from the ankle. Live theatre, in its best. When there’s a fight scene some-one's bound to get hurt. We even tried to incorporate getting an ice pack to Travis into act 3 but, being the manly man that he is he refused. At the end everyone decided to give me flowers. So I took them, gave my thanks and slipped out of the theatre.
I'm not sure I want to do this for the rest of my life anymore. Not a good thing.
Friday was also remarkable for other reasons. We got to go to UB and see Al Gore speak, which was amazing. It was basically like an Inconvenient Truth, only better. I really enjoyed it. Well, not in the "this makes me happy" sense of enjoy, because it most certainly did not make me happy, but in a "this is informative but interesting" sense. Me and my friend Carlos were getting increasingly angry at the people around us whining and complaining about it. I thought it was good. And it ended on an inspirational note, so instead of feeling like we were all going to die ( a sentiment we both had the entire time) it left you feeling like you could DO something.
Afterwards me and Jared were approached for an interview. I was shocked. Normally, people only want to hear from the suburban schools. And the fact that we are now known for gang warfare, violence and being a school full of degenerates really doesn't help that-at all. So I was like ...we'd better prove to this city that Arts is infact a school with intelligent people. I think it went very well. Afterwards Jared asked me how I managed to get my thoughts out so nicely. I was like ... I don't know. We teased him the entire way back for some silly comments he made. And the fact that they grab the kid with a mohawk and..well.me. from the arts school. typical. haha. Only joking.
Aside from that my week was pretty boring. Performances and school work (the balancing game that never gets easier) kept my social life pretty dead, aside from time with the cast downtown in-between school and another performance.
I know, I lead such an exciting life, don't I?
Well, someday I will. Someday...when I am out of this country. I'm still mad that I'm missing the right to vote by one month. Damnit. Not that my vote would've counted. I lost all faith in this country after theeeee 04? was it? Elections. I mean, the first time, I get it. We didn't really know what we were doing and the whole Florida re-count, okay. But...we all knew, the second time, just what a terrible president we had. And on top of the fact that only some disgustingly low amount of people voted, but the people that DID all voted to have another 4 years. What the hell was that all about?! It was one of those "Are you serious America?" moments. Well, maybe this time people will do the right thing. There isn't much I can do. Cept tell people who are lucky enough to vote to do just that. VOTE OR DIE clearly did not work as Paris Hilton did not vote, nor did she die. A contractual contradiction my friend.
Ah yes, but aside from that , the world keeps spinning.
Apparently, purgatory no longer exists. Yeah. That's what I said. How can you do that? The pope just comes out and says "Yeaahh bout that...so not true. We totally made that up in the dark ages cause...we didn't know what to say."
I trust you even more now, organized religion.
I wonder, in the days to come, what else they'll come clean about.
I'm already going to hell for various reasons. So I figure it's not worth converting or anything. Unless they come out and say hell is a lie too. Which would be fabulous.
I really should NOT be on here right now. I'm still quite behind on various things. But I just figured I'd uhm. update this here thing. Kind of a notification to myself that I’m not dead yet.
Yet.
I'm going to sleep. I'm not even going to lie to myself. I'm not going to study or do work. I'm sleeping.
And I'm not going to church tomorrow either. Lest they declare all that is a lie too.
