Music is based on some dance songs that I have recently found. Lady GaGa will probably have a resurgence next week.

So I am trying something. I am ignoring Matthew Sunderland.I want our friendship to fade. I am going to try my hardest to ignore him, and not engage him as a friend or equal. He does not deserve my friendship. He has never done anything to earn my friendship. I began it as a means to incorporate it into the theatre, and to explore my options. He didn't help me gain friends, nor has he given me anything in my life save for a few spaced Dr. Pepper's and grief. I am done. I am not going to confront him. I am just going to avoid him and be civil but distant. This probably won't work, but I am going to try.

I want this semester to proceed. I want this show to go up and all go well. I am far too worn out. BUT JAMIKA IS COMING AND IT'S GOING TO BE F*ING AMAZING! WOOOT SAUCE!

The music of my week. Highly influenced by the Night of Noise Dance Party that occurred last evening. Great fun. Danced for three hours straight, and some theatre people showed for a bit.

School is okay. I don't want to do any work, I have no desire to do anything... Not good. Need to clean room and such.

Blech. But I am still happy, though. And my cast is going to be amazing. Laura, Bree, Ellen, and McKenna. Woot!
Happy Week!

So I like to make lists about music. I really like going to Billboard and looking at the charts. Mostly to see how my Lady is doing, but also just to look at the numbers. So I am going to try to do this each week to gage my music. The top list is based on the play numbers in my itunes, and the bottom list is based on play numbers as well as personal importance. I had a lot of fun making the chart. So I am going to make a mini-billboard. You guys can chime in with your own music, and we can have a voting thing! Or not. I just like making the charts!

Auditions are tomorrow. Finally. Alessa, watch out for Sunderland. He really wants Chris. I told him to do everything in his power to comprise his choices, but as usual he will probably ignore my advice. I will aid you as I can, but this is a fight that I wouldn't wish on anyone. We will see what goes down. But I am here for you girl. We will talk tomorrow.

I want a good cast! I am just happy they are happening. This waiting has been killing me.

Zaida, I am so excited that your show is going well! I wish we could all see it. Rock, girl!
Kristina, you petty thief! I like you!
Chloe, I comprehended this time. You seemed to be having a rave of a time in Japan. Don't go too crazy on making friends. It is said you only can remember two hundred people really, and you seem to have fifty alone in your first few weeks...
Jamika, WAAHH, I's wants yous heres!!! I hope all is okay.

Ke$ha, get out of my head!

Hogswash!

Grrr... Why does everyone need to be crappy in April? Spring weariness? Lack of sun? I don't know, but I am sure tired of this bull. I am happy god dammit, no matter how much I complain. Why does everyone need to spread their shit around?

First point - Sunderland. (Who else?) Apparently his roommates have basically said that he can't live with him next year. Why? Cause he is Sunderland, and that would wear on anyone. So he asked me today to room with him. Ignoring the disastrous situation that was last year's planning, I had already snagged a Mr. Aerni as a roommate. Sunderland thus proceeded to make me feel like crap for rejecting him, even though I have known that I was living with Jesse for ages. Then he goes into how he needs to get a summer job, and that I should room with him on campus. I then bring up the point that Bree will be living illegally with me for a portion of the summer. He then pulls the better friend card on me. Pshaw? When did he think he had the gall to purchase one of those? Bree can be flaky, but at least she doesn't actively treat me like shit, and then expect me to be one her side a day later. This is the same exact bullshit that I get every other week from this boob. Why do I take it? I guess I just like to be punished. I don't know. God I want to punch him.

Second point - Theatrical weird. Nick and Andrew hate Sunderland, and vice-a-versa. Chris Forrer has become emo apparently. Will and Jess are an awkward couple. Chloe is gone. (Poopy, Chloe, poopy.) Ty is done with a majority of students. Janet is utterly apathetic and crazy. Everything is topsy turvy. I don't understand what is in the air. I am having a blast. I get to go shopping with Alethia, be a drag queen with lines in a play, direct something that I am terribly excited about; everything is going great. I even have a new crush. Not anything fancy, but something to preoccupy my fantasies in my gay-less world. People just need to learn how to be better humans. Fail, Fail, Fail.

Ironically I should be doing homework. I need to write my stupid history paper, I have a month, but I have a lot to do... Pshaw... (New favorite word, fyi.)

Alessa- I think Janet might actually recast Pinch, and you are really the only one who is available and capable and she made a point to tell me that she knows you would want it. I vote yes, yes, YES! We would have a scene together! I know you're busy with wedding stuff, but you should totally do it anyway. Time commitment would be minor, and you would have a ball. Hopefully Kriss Morton doesn't show up anytime soon! (I doubt it.)

Let's also talk about friends I have made these last two weeks. Bailey (who is very witty), Paige, Mckenna, Ashleigh. I can get almost any female to be my bossism buddy. I wish I had this skill with men...

A Ke$ha song invaded my life today. I am disappointed with myself... Blah, Blah, Blah...

Sparkle brightly me dear friends. I missth the days of our noon, but I know our stars will align again!

Spectacular! Spectacular!

So Seattle is okay. Everyone seems to be either a bad driver or a terrible pedestrian. Including my aunt. The food is good though. I don't think I could live there with my aunt. I would go insane.

Spring Break is over, I need to do some things,
-Write my mini-thesis.
-Learn Lines
-Finish messing around with the Monologues and get sides ready for auditions.
-Stop being yanked around.

I think these are fine goals. I fear that Lighting Design is going to hit me square in the face with work. Damned Ty, luring us into a sense of false ease. Oh well.

Jamika / Zaida(I think you got it though...) - Jess and Will. Chaos is just sitting on the doorstop. At least no Sunderland in this play! Though knowing him, he probably will come to rehearsal anyways. What else does he have to do?

Alessa - Will tell. You missed an interesting night.

Rant Time~!
Mother fucking Ke$ha can go crawl into a hole. I am so ready for her to stop being popular, she is just a cheap copy of my Gaga. Tik Tok was fun for a while, and Blah, Blah, Blah is fun to say, but there is no place in this pop world for her. I reject!

Tra La La La Blah, Blah, Blah. Damnit!

Vagina Monologues

So, in light of my last post, here is happier news.

Advanced Directing Scene = The Vagina Monologues

I know awesome right. Here is my idea. I want to have four characters, O (ovary): the ingenue, V (vagina): the housewife, C (cunt): the lesbian, and G (g-spot): the temptress. I have split the scenes into somewhat of discourse between the characters with some individual monologues for each character. I am terribly excited. I also have looking through music and have came up with some songs to use for preshow and such.

List:
Queen of Hearts - Juice Newton
Heart of Glass - Blondie
Hunter - Dido
You Don't Own Me - Lesley Gore
What It Feels Like For A Girl - Madonna
One Girl Revolution - Superchick
Broken Heels -Alexandra Burke
Strong Enough - Cher
Real Girl - Mutya Buena
Gypsy - Fleetwood Mac
Go Your Own Way - The Cranberries

Not all are going to be used obviously, but I like a lot them. Go Your Own Way will be the curtain call song, that is unchangable, but I want your guys opinions slash song options. I need feminist esque songs. Oui? Possible? (And no Le Tigre. I had no idea what their songs are about, I tired really, but no.

Hope you guys are doing okay. I only got a couple comments on my map. And I do it for you guys... Merp...

Status

So Dog Sees God is over. (Alessa stop reading) Thank fucking god. (Alessa begin reading again) I was very tired of being in that booth with our beloved stage manager. I mean, I like the fellow. He can be quite funny. But my god, he never needs to be in a managing position ever again. It's like giving Sunderland a lead role. Oh wait... I had to call the opening of a show because he vanished during preshow. He had open beverages near the boards, and he was allowed?!? The theatre is going downhill...

We had the cast party/Sunderland's birthday party this last Saturday night. Whole bunch of awkward. The first and second merchants decided to make it official and dance sexually, which made the abbess almost cry and the wife fume with anger. Stupid merchants. I am so tired of it all, I mean he is sort of a d-bag. I mean come on. I don't care if he looks good in a suit.

Sunderland and I are talking. Ish. Fool. Still makes me angry. Grrr.
At least I have Alessa.

Jamika! I miss you! the theatre party was nothing without you there. When can you come down again?!?

Muck, Muck, Muck.

PS: Under the Tuscan Sun is an awesome movie. And I am such a girl.

DIE-A-GRAM





So I made a map of Europe based on the different people within the theatre. I tired to the define people on their relationship as friends and such.

Alessa - Your Poland. It may sound like a slap, but it is actually a great choice. You see, I'm Polish for one. France and Poland are usually allies and France has always supported your independence and self development. Also Poland is an older European nation that went out of existence for a while, but came back with support from France, and I think that parallels to our friendship.

Jamika - I have you as Turkey, partly because you are one of the oldest non-professors in the bunch, and France and you have been close friends for a while. ;) Also knowing that you are of different racial background to us, but accepted by most everyone as a European nation. That sounded bad, but I loves you! I hope you get what I mean.

Kristina - I put you as Bulgaria because I like the city names, and I think you would too. Also you are a somewhat younger nation in Europe like the other sophomores. Also I put you as Bulgaria because you have connections to elsewhere, but are still apart of the whole and loved. And you're next to Chloe!

Bryan and Brittney - I have you being California and Washington respectively. However, you are away from our world, but stilled tied to it. Most graduates are states.

Zaida - Sorry! I just think it fits you even with you being from there. You and home isles have similar personalties I feel, beautiful, fun, grrr, and punch. Love?

I am France, cause I feel it match's my personality. If anyone would like to know why who is who, I can explain later. It makes sense, I swear.

Blah Blah Blah, I hate Ke$ha.





Here are some picture I found stumbling. I need to sleep more. Seriously.
1. Literal translation. I think it's awesome. (Oh Alessa and your sheet!)
2. I thought it was ha ha ha.
3. That's how I want to fall into a manhole. The sewer kind.
4. Mehe...

Random Update!
Dog Sees God - Alessa, you are fecking awesome. I am so happy that you were given this part, you totally deserve it, and you own it. I wish you were in Comedy, Brenna and I really need someone to hang out with. I really like Jill and Brenna in this production, both are quirky and unique in a really entertaining way. However, everyone else is sort of how they are like in real life, save Will, but there is totally some Divacarri coming out through a lot of his scenes. I don't want to watch it much anymore save for the scenes of those I mentioned, but often they have to play second fiddle to others. Sure they do funny things, but I have seen it all before. A lot. I don't need an angsty Sunderland or a high WB. Not really invigorating. Plus a certain person who sits next to me in the upper box can really shove something up his pretentious ass. My god! He is almost as angsty and bitter as Matt and CB combined with Beethoven's piano playing. Meck!

Query - So I have been talking to a boy of late, I know shocking for me right? He is young, 18, and still in high school, and I have no plans of anything. But I haven't ever received any attention from a boy, really, so I have been responding to his messages. We are running out of things to say on Facebook, and I was wondering if I should give him my number. I don't know what to do. I am just curious on opinions on this subject matter.

Hope everyone is glorious!
