Procrastination
You know the biggest problem with dorm rooms? When you really want to concentrate on homework, you tend to get a little distracted with wanting to be somewhere else. Well, to be fair, I am the biggest procrastinator anyway so....*shrugs* perhaps it's just me. Despite that, here I am. My acting journal waiting patiently on the bed for me to return. Why can't I ever do these things long before they are ever due? Life would be much easier if I could just discipline myself to work on my projects weeks before they are asked to be turned in. *Sigh* My curse I suppose.
My weekend has been a laid back one. Considering what I have waiting for me over the next few weeks before our show opening, I needed it. Tony and I decided to go to a play some of our fellow students put together entitled "Closer" on Friday night. Since we were off from rehearsal that night, everyone in Cabaret went to go support our friends. The show was very well done. It was a dark comedy about relationships and love affairs of four people over a span of several years. The comedy quickly became deadly intense as each character switched into each other's bed, fought with their spouses or lovers over who slept with who, and just being well, cruel to one another by the end of it all. I am lucky to say I have never had to experience such people like these characters. Ah, my sheltered surroundings. Sometimes I wonder who is the more grown up: Me or those who had rougher backgrounds. Its hard to understand on occasion where people are coming from. All I could think of as I watched was, "may I never know that kind of pain." Silly wish, I know. I've had my share of experiences and heartbreaks but none like those I watched in those characters. Sometimes I wish I could stay in my own little world, remain innocent of the cruelties people cause and yet I know I am still young in this life time. I have met my enemies, but most our "children" with children's games and that is nothing compared to what adults could do to those they hate. I don't mean to go philosophic on all of you. Evanescence will do that to you. hee hee.
Good news! Tony received a summer internship at New Theater as an administrator's assistant! He just found out on Friday night. It is a wonderful opportunity for him. This will definitely get his foot in the door with the professional theaters around Miami and I really think he'll gain so much from this experience. I took him out to celebrate after the show at Dukin Donuts(I'm poor,what did you expect.) There was an awful lot of smoking in that small little theater where they put on the show so I was coughing like crazy. It was terrible. We talked a bit about his interest in political plays and the impact they can have on a community. Somehow we got into the discussion of all the issues concerning gays that our going on right now. In Miami we tend to be at an advantage when it comes to issues like this. Miami tends to be a bit more open on certain issues, especially concerning those of the gay community. There have been several students debates lately such as adoption, military, and marriage. But I told Tony it is interesting to talk about these topics because he and I grew up in different situations. I am all for a gay couples adopting because I grew up with two mothers in my household. I know they make wonderful parents because I experienced it first hand where as he grew up in a single parent household. I fully believe in gay marriages because I, for one, would be proud to say "Yes, this woman is my step mother." I would love to have my mother slip a ring on her girlfriend's finger and say her vows of love and commitment . I believe these things because I have seen a love shared between two women and know it is just as sacred. It should never be shielded because certain people in society feel uncomfortable. What really angers me is when they make it a religious issue. Don't even begin to get me started on this. Tony and I both agreed that there are people in this world with blinders on. Their entire lives they have been told this is wrong and nothing anyone will ever say or do will change their beliefs on these topics. It makes me sick to my stomach see the look of disgust on people's faces (and its always the same look) when they talk about marriage or raising a family in a homosexual environment. What is so strange about it?!? Why should it even be an issue if a love is there?Again its hard for me to understand what others feel is so wrong because I grew up in a completely different world. I am not so ignorant as most are who are so quick to condemn what they do not, nor ever could, understand. Tony pointed out its fascinating how those who work in the arts tend to be more open. We watch and study human behavior for a living, trying to understand what is going on their minds. Most of the time, we just shake our heads and watch silently from the sidelines as the world tears each other apart.
Nothing really happened on Saturday. I decided to be a Lazy bum and sleep most of the day away or read my Anita Blake novel, "Blue Moon." Serina kept me up late talking on the phone till the wee hours of the morning friday so I was strictly in the mood to veg out on the bed. I wasn't feeling too good actually. I really hope I'm not getting sick. I don't have time to be sick, not with a show around the corner. I was feeling a little better later into the night so Tony and I watched a movie with a friend of ours Tracey. We watched "Headwig and the Angry Inch." My god, Chris you have to watch this movie! LOL Cult Classic, truly. Think Rocky Horror Picture Show but taken a bit more seriously. The film was interesting, to say the least. I love the music and the direction was so different and new. I think it was made in the early nineties , not sure though. I've never seen anything like it.
Well guess that's it for now. I really need to get back to my homework. I've been lazy enough today.
All my love! ^_~
oh!
P.S. My oldest friend in the world, Lori Archer, called me this morning. SHE'S ENGAGED! Congratulations to her! She'll make a beautiful Bride. (And I'll be the Maid of Honor! HA!) ^_^ Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I took this quiz and just thought I'd share. ^_~ A Natural Beauty,Was there ever a doubt? Any surprises there? hee hee. Enjoy!
You are a true nature girl!
