Ok, I'm way behind on reading livejournal, cause I've been spending every free second studying for finals or practicing for the show, which is over now, or spending time in the hospital.

Oh, yeah, last night I fell down on the stairs of my building and fractured my left foot. And I still went on and did Jenn's scene tonight, because THE SHOW MUST GO ON. I only hobbled a little, and we changed some of the blocking so that I had to walk less, but it still went wonderfully.

But just so you know, when you see me in the near future, I hobble and I have a crutch. Just in time for Christmas.

I am Tiny Tim, with the bad leg and the one crutch. I told my mother she has to get me a striped scarf and a floppy hat.


In any case, I have a final tomorrow, and then one on Wednesday morning, and then I'll be home (with my crutch) for Christmas break for a month, so YAY!


And I wanted to let you all know that I haven't read my friends page in like 3 days, so if you posted anything I really needed to see, I probably won't get to it till my finals are over on Wednesday. Just so you know.


And finally,
God bless us, everyone!
I GOT A PART IN A PLAY!!!!!!!!!


I will be playing Arlene, a woman who spent a lot of time in jail, and who gets... almost raped on stage, in Jenn Hunt's (one of my suitemates) production of a scene from Getting Out.

Those of you who were in Encore, do you know what this is? This is a REAL PART. I am not cheerful, I am not hopeful, and it has real depth. (In other words, I have escaped the typecasting of high school and got a serious part.)

Because, let's be honest, for the most part, Mrs. Archer typecast us. Not that I didn't like the parts I played in high school, but it's nice to be a different character for a change.


Actually, to back that up...

My Encore Roles
-Rosanda in A Ghost for Rosanda (Doesn't count because Jen cast me, not her mother.)
-Indian in Peter Pan (Not much of a part, though it was fun.)
-Girl 2 in Aesop's (And I was definaely cheerful)
-Mary, a Merry Chick in Robin Hood (I was "very merry, sir")
-Music in Pinocchio (Where I became a cheerful, rosy cheeked baker)
-Angela in Comedy of Errors (Except for the one scene where I'm angry, I was pretty happy.)
-Moonbeam McSwine in Lil Abner (I had pigtails, for God's sake.)
(Let's discount Summer Encore, because everyone's cheerful in children's plays)
-No part in Jane Eyre (There weren't any cheery ones to be had)
-Eve Fulton in 13 Past Midnight (Ok, this wasn't so much with the cheerful, being the killer and all, but I was gleeful about the whole murder thing...)
No part in A Rose For Emily or Once on This Island (Cause I didn't try out, cause I was in China for some of the performances)
-Elzvieta in Playing for Time (Even in the holocaust play, I was "the one who believes they will all survive")
-Hermia in A Midsummer Night's Dream (Who tries her very hardest to not be upset by Lysander and keeps hoping he's joking)
-Eh, we were all cheerful in Chaucer's (it was a circus, after all) so let's not count that one either.


Now, I loved all these parts, and deeply wanted to get some of them. I played them all the best that I could, with enjoyment, and I had a ton of fun in Encore. I never minded what part I ever got, just happy to be on a stage. And I realize that Encore didn't do that many deeply serious plays But now, getting this new part, I see how little depth most of my past roles have had, and I'm a little nervous and a lot excited to do something so different.

That's all.
You know, I constantly think of/experience things that I want to put in here, and then when I sit down to type I can't remember any of them. WTF?

Random Events of My Life

- The only reason I got dressed today was becasue it's Kirstin's birthday and we had a little party for her. That means I got dressed at about 6:00pm.

- Emily made us key lime pie for Kirstin's party, and I've never had that before, but it was DELICIOUS.

- My Catholic college is currently showing The Birdcage on the movie channel, and we now also get LOGO, the gay channel. (Both of which I consider good things, just weird given the context.) And I was channel surfing at 3:00am (don't even ask) and Queer as Folk was on it and I watched it and it was SO FUCKING GOOD. God I love Hal Sparks. It's an amazing show. GAH.

- My philosophy professor wore a purple and yellow striped tie the other day, and when he walked into wheeled into entered the room, in my head I went HUFFLEPUFF TIE! YOU ARE A HUFFLEPUFF! AWWWWWWWWWWW! I think Hufflepuffs would be philosophy majors, don't you?

- I am a huge dork.

- I tried out for the directing scenes, and the cast list goes up tomorrow. AHHHHHHHHH!!! I'm so freaking nervous. I really need to be on a stage again. It's not that I don't like stage managing, because I do, but I'm also an attention whore and I need to be SEEN.

- Blackfriars came and did A Midsummer Night's Dream and it was SO AMAZING. And Puck was a satyr. How cool is that? But they cut the character of Snout, and I don't know why. Oh, and the other show they're doing this season? Cyrano.

- The Monty Python show goes off book tomorrow night... That's all I'm going to say about that.

- We watched Sleepy Hollow tonight. I don't know how, but I'd forgotten just how beautiful Johnny Depp is. Yes, I have 3 posters of him on my walls, but he's so much better in motion.

- That movie always reminds me of Hannah. I LOVE MY HANNAH! I MISS MY HANNAH!


I'll be back tomorrow if I think of anything else. Peace!



ETA: Somehow I forgot the part where we, as a suite, with boys, watched Alice In Wonderland: An X-Rated Musical Fantasy. That's right kids, we watched Alice in Wonderland porn. From the 70's. And it was actually sort of good, like with a followable plot. I'd watch it again, in fact. But there were musical numbers! With choreography! And only one of them was about a penis!

Oh, I love my suite.
