I can't be the only person on the planet who thought the first National Treasure was stupid, and has no desire whatsoever to see the second one, can I?
There, I said it. I didn't like National Treasure. I don't want to see the sequel. People keep inviting me and, no offense to them, I want to see it so little that I'm not even willing to pay the eight dollars just to get out of the house and hang with my friends. In fact, the only good thing about National Treasure in any way is Jenn's Ben Franklin impression. Which never gets old. If I never hear another word about the new one, that will be ok.
I had to get that out. I feel so much better now.
P.S. The only episode of Futurama that I don't like is the one with Fry's dog. And I swear, that episode is on twice as often as all the other ones. I won't watch it. I refuse. It makes me cry, and I hate it.

Dec. 12th, 2006 04:54 amOk, 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!

Dec. 7th, 2006 05:22 amI need my home friends.
Not that the ones here aren't wonderful, because they are, (Jenn, especially you) but I need people that I don't have to explain Encore and all my issues to before we can work through this new shit.
I want Neea. And Hannah. And Sarah. And lots of other people, but if I put all your names in here, I'll never stop crying.
I don't want to be me anymore.

Oct. 23rd, 2006 01:47 amYou know, it's strange to think this, but I haven't updated my journal in days and days purely because I have nothing to say. (Which is really a rarity for me.)
Nothing really extaordinary has happened, and the one thing that I might theoretically gossip about in here I don't really want to because it isn't really a thing yet...
Ok, I hate being cryptic, so here's the story: I asked this guy on a non-date (long story how we got to that point) and he said yes and then like six of us went to the movies and I don't know if that counted as the non-date or not. And, I'm not sure how much I like him, and one of the other girls in my suite may or may not like him as well, (but I asked her permission before making my move, and she said to go for it) but now I feel guilty about moving in on 'her' guy, even though he's really not hers, and she never made a move for him last year, because I'm not like, smitten with him. I just think we get along really well and he isn't afraid of me even when I'm at my weirdest (which he's seen) and also, I'm not afraid to be weird around him, which is unusual for me, and I'm babbling aren't I? Sorry.
The long and short of it is that I don't know what's going on or if we're going on another date or what, and if you knew him it would make sense, but none of you (except Jenn) do know him, so I'm going to shut up now and not bring this up again until something actually happens. Ok?
In any case, we went to see The Prestige the other night, and it was FUCKING AMAZING. I'm still trying to fully comprehend it. God it was good.
Other than that, nothing is up besides the fact that I'm going to go finish watching The Little Mermaid with Abby and Jenn now. Bye!

Oct. 17th, 2006 08:08 amI 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.

Sep. 30th, 2006 03:00 pmSARAH IS COMING TO VISIT ME! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH OMG!
OK, now that that's out of my system...
Chad Loseby is in my common room right now.
See, Nora (my suitemate) has a friend from home (Massachusettes) named Phillip. Phillip goes to VTC. Chad goes to VTC. Phillip is Chad's RA. Phillip introduced Nora to Chad. Nora went to visit Phillip and Chad last night, and Chad brough her back today, and now he is in my common room watching Labryinth with her. How weird is that?
And it gets better.
You all remember Paul? Paul Morgan? Well Chad and I were looking through my Nebraska pictures today, cause Chad is in them, and there are pictures of Paul, and Jenn (my other suitemate) is like OMG I KNOW HIM! Cause she went to high school with him in New Hampshire.
It is a fucking small world after all.
AND OMG SARAH SOON YAY!!!

Sep. 18th, 2006 02:32 pmNow, I know that none of you (with the possible exception of Jenn) know who Maggie is, but this is still funny. She had this conversation with me before philosophy today, and I was laughing so hard through the whole thing that I knew I had to put it on here.
Maggie: *after explaining that there's only one washing machine in her building, and it's broken* I just want to be clean! I don't want to look like a vagabond! I don't want to be a migrant!
Me: A migrant? Like a migrant worker?
Maggie: I don't want to pick grapes!
Me: Cause being dirty necessitates picking grapes...
Maggie: I just want to be clean, is that so much to ask? My goal for today is to be clean. Not to do my homework or study, just to be clean. I've been dirty for too long.
God, I love Maggie. She lived on my floor last year, and she really makes life more fun, let me tell you.
Oh, and as long as we're talking about the deep philosophical discussions that happen before the class even starts, Fallon and I had this whole talk one day about how you don't even need Romania, you only need Transylvania. Seriously, off the top of your head, name another city in Romania. Name somehting Romania's done/is famous for that doesn't involve Transylvania. You can't. The only reason anyone even knows Romania exists is because of Transylvania. Thus you don't need the whole country, just Transylvania will be sufficient.
I apologize to any Romanians on my friends list. It was just a funny thing to be talking about. I'm sure Romania is a fascinating and culturally rich country that has much more to offer than creepy castles full of vampires, quaint villiages with a werewolf problem, and roving bands of gypsies. Really.

Aug. 31st, 2005 04:59 pmIs it weird that I love how windy and grey it is outside? It's like four different shades of grey all at once. I didn't even know that was possible. And I heart wind.
And I totally whipped out my Lara Croft Skills today and caught my cup as it was falling off my tray and before it crashed to the floor. Go me!
Hey, all you people who went to see Into the Woods with me...I MET JACK! HA! (His real name is Kevin.) And I also met Jack's Mother (Jennifer, she's awesome) Little Red Riding Hood (Kayla) and the Baker (Mike). I saw the wolf and one of the princes but did not actually meet them. Kevin and Jennifer are very nice, and Kevin was incredibly pleased to hear that my friends liked him. :)
Yeah, so I went to the theater "picnic" (only it was inside because of the rain) and met all the cool theater kids and signed up for the 24 hour play thing. I am excited. They all introduced themselves and were super friendly and nice. Theater people rock. I felt so...wanted. Yay theater!
But I found out that as a Bio major I'm supposed to be taking Chem right now, and I'm not. Boo!
Peace and Love!
