Im a kid again

Sep 09, 2004 01:28

Well I've spent the last hour listening to a wide selection of music singing along. I feel like such a kid. I also found the best way to get drunk without the hangover. Spinning in and office chair. :-P Its fun and makes you really dizzy if its a good chair.

Theatre rules my life which kinda sucks bu i still enjoy it. Is it wrong for me to be spending my free time in the building helping out here and there? It not like it will help to get a job in the outside world. But then again I do learn things. Like the whole startch process, and knowing when startch is readying when being made. Plus I learn things when I was in the lightshop last semester during my free time. For some reason I'm not worried about the ATD job as much as the Paint Charge job. Why? Well I dont know, both I get to spend extra time in the theatre. I think its the whole mixing paint thing that I dont like. Over last winter I mixed somewhere around a total of 10 gallons of paint only to get a neutral color in the end. But then again it was house paint for a theatre set and I hadn't had the painting class yet.

Another thing that kinda bugs me in some ways and in some ways it doesnt. Why is it that I can be crazy around people I know but still feel shy? It bogles the mind. Does this conincide with the fact that I cant make decisions? What about the unwillingness to go out and try new things or for that matter go out. Is there something wrong with enjoying a small group of people over a large group? Yeah there I go again putting myslef down again.

Can you believe that the director for a show next semester wants to have some quick meetings with me and show me some research already? I did loss a paint charge from that show which is a bummer. That only means more work for me and my rockstar assistant :-P Im sure it will all be ok. Im really excited about doing this cause it will be my first realized show. This also makes me nervious. The closet I've gotten to anything like this was being an ASD which I didnt do that much work on the designing. But it was a fun experence. I already know that Morning Star will have its challenges. But I have worked in the space quit a bit which i think will help. The production crew is actaully preaty cool from whats listed.

Still can't wait for RENT. Still not sure about seeing Cats. Part of me says go with your parents. The other part says the show may not be worth it. But I think the experence of seeing it is outweighing the other option. (look look, a decision!)

Speaking of theatre experence we talked about shakespear in advance stage design and its relevence. Kind of interesting, didn't come to any conclusion, but the thought of doing it to be 'cultured' came up and i think this is the reason i dont really like him. Its a language we dont use anymore. But this becomes a whole argument. Either way, right now I still dont like his writings.

I want my check from my job to come in. I want to get this tackel box i saw for all of my drafting supplies. The bag I have now is falling apart and I think the tackel box will make it easier. Damn me and being organized. Im starting to realized that I really like things organized. Cant decided if thats a good thing since when I have a few min of free time I will clean and organize things. I just cant live in a massive mess for a long time. Im sure I could get use to it plus a mess to one person might be a well organzed pile of stuff, like my books for classes. Its kinda strange that I built a very nice bookcase and all my class books sit on the floor in piles.

Thats the other thing about me that I wish I could do more of. Tinkering around with things and building things. Even if I dont have space for anything I love getting my hands into something and building it. I was happy to get a project in the shop by myself. Even though another person would have made some parts easier, I always feel bad that either Im doing everything or the other person is doing everything and I just stand there watching. Eitherway I was able to get 2 platforms framed and covered in about an hour 15, which I think is good. I am looking forward to when we start learning to weld. I dont know what to do for the welding project. There has to be some good idea out there.

We got the drops up today too. The actually hung preaty decent. They look really cool espically with the back lighting. The only thing that I see wrong with them is the ethafoam we put on it seems kinda small and seems to be out of place. Maybe once we get the frame finished it will look better. I can wait to see the floor. The paint elevation looks really cool.

Now that I've wasted another 30 min talking about random shite I should get some sleep. 2 days up till 1:30 for me isnt usual. Not saying that I hate being up, it just being up and typing the thoughts that are going threw my head instead of sleeping isnt the best choice. But then again maybe you learned more about me and realize I'm just as strange and odd as you had once thought.
