Don't Get it Right, Get it Written

Unlove You
Thursday, May 22, 2008
So, CFAF decided to get wireless internet this summer. Weird, right? I thought so. A children's camp needing wireless internet?? Anyway, that's all I have to say on that. Now for the song of the moment:

I can't unlove you
Can't do that
No matter how I try
I'll never turn my back on
Someone who loved me too
I can do most anything I have to
But I can't unlove you

No real reason except it's the last thing I heard in my car and now it's stuck in my head. But anyway. I'm heading to the beach tomorrow or Saturday. The last time I went to the beach was almost a year ago with two of my bestest friends in the world, Anna and Ginna. We will have summer '07 reunion this year with summer '08. I'm excited. I just have to make it through camp first!!

Just to See You Smile
Saturday, May 17, 2008
You know, I love that song. I heard it today on the radio for the first time in forever. I never listen to country anymore, and yeah. Sad day. Anyway, I heard that song and decided to put it as my facebook status too. No real reason behind it in case people are wondering. I often use songs as facebook status updates...

CFAF starts soon, like, tonight, so I will be internet free for a while. At least until my breaks or off time I guess. I always seem to check in, just not say anything.

Man I Gotta Get Out of This Town
Monday, May 12, 2008
I really don't, but I've been looking into moving to London for a year after graduation and then I thought "hmm, isn't Barclee studying over there?" So I go look up the school and guess what... (what?)... it's cheaper than BSC and it's in London! AND they have a course in choreography. I mean, I could get an MA for going to study choreography in London for a year for basically half of what I'm paying for a year at BSC. Yeah... can you say awesome? Then again, it may end up being a lot more expensive than what I'm reading into it. Books are supplied by the library, and living expenses aren't low by any means, but it'd be London for a whole year (like I want) and me actually working to get my MA. Wouldn't it be wonderful?

Whatcha Gonna Do?
Saturday, May 10, 2008
I spent last night house sitting for my aunt and she has this awesome game in which you rearrange quotes using these 5 light up balls that each represent a few words. It was quite fun. There are 5 rounds ranging from 30-10 seconds to rearrange and I kicked this game's ass three times in a row. It was great!! I need to find the game and continue my awesome kick ass-ness!

Today was a great day with friends. We went to get our nails done, see "Made of Honor" (an amazing movie, a lot like "My Best Friend's Wedding") and ended up eating at Sumo. Tons of fun if you ask me. We had a good time and spent a total of 27 hours just hanging out.

Well, the tornado sirens are going off which means I'm soon to get a text from our campus alert program, which is fine and dandy except it'll be 15 minutes after the alarm goes off. What's the alert in that? The alarm has already alerted me! Whatev! However, the sirens also mean I should probably go hide in a hole or something relatively safe that isn't my bed right next to a window.

One of These Days
Friday, May 9, 2008
Well, it was "one of those days" but since some (if not all) of my entries are lyrics or quotes I figured I'd stay within the same limits. But yeah... watch for awesome lyrics as titles :) Points for those of you who know the song or quote and there may be more than one.

I am currently listening to Jump Function which makes me happy, though I am semi depressed. I've had a weird week. The days seem to be okay, but the evenings suck really bad! I decided the Attic was going to be my saving grace from my depression. So many random people I never see go in and out. Living in an apartment over a dorm as it's disadvantages, obviously. But I spent most of my evening after work reading and talking with people in the Attic. I also apparently decided to have a heart flutter relapse and have a fever shoot up out of nothing-ness. It used to happen all the time freshman year, but I don't get them that often anymore so it was strange. Probably stress mixed with sadness.

Oh, another good musical discovery (thanks to Mikey Flow) would be Groove Lily. They do a hilarious New Year's story called Striking 12 based on The Little Match Girl. It's really quite funny and some really good music!! Anyway, look it up on iTunes if you get a chance. "Sales Pitch" is a pretty good one if you want to sample. And "Give the Drummer Some".

I think that's it for this update. No real news except I have an exam in 6 1/2 hours plus 5 hours of work study and 5 people to take portraits of for my photography project. How's my project going? Great thus far! I have some very good options for printing, which I will do on Sunday, plus I'm taking them to Walmart to have them print them into 5x7s. Sometimes the small prints on the contact sheet doesn't help me figure out what to print exactly. We'll see though. I have some ideas. Okay, I'm out...

Set Me Free
Saturday, May 3, 2008
"Set me free, why don't you baby?
Get out of my life, why don't you baby?
...
Why do you keep coming around
Playing with my heart?
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me make a new start?"

Oh, that song is so true right now, and only the closest of my friends would know. I've been through relationship hell this year and I only wish the one person I keep thinking about would just go away. Not that he is doing anything, but just the fact that he's on my mind. Hard to accept that two semesters have gone by and I still think about him. Like, there are days I don't, and sadly, those days aren't as full of smiles as the others are. I need to stop being sentimental. As Emily says in "The Americanization of Emily" - "I'm grotesquely sentimental. I fall in love at the drop of a hat."

One more showing of Merrily, and then I get my life back for at least a week or so. I still have 3 days of classes and a few exams, but then I have 2 weeks of summer. I probably won't spend any of that at the beach, but whatever. The CFAF pool is just as awesome, right? Not! I will be spending 2 weeks with my two best friends at the beach in August though! Can't wait!! Anyway, one more show tomorrow, then strike and a talk about the show in class. So, sleep in necessary, as is a shower!

Merrily, Merrily...
Friday, May 2, 2008
We are now 4 shows into "Merrily" and only 2 left to do. I am so tired that it's making me wonder how anyone could do 8 shows a week for months upon months. I would cry. However, tonight was the smoothest run we've had so far. Here's the breakdown:

Tuesday - 2 of the light cues were messed up, though they were not big mistakes, it annoyed me because the night before was a smooth call.

Wednesday - the first sound cue on the CD decided to skip, so that's how we began the show...

Thursday - the wire from the keyboard to the mixer kept coming loose from the keyboard so the sound was going in and out as Richard banged on the keys. They swore it was something wrong with the keyboard. Anyway, 3 scenes were done completely a cappella and the show went on, but I was in tears having a mental break down. I'm sure the actors and Richard were too. And to top it off, the door didn't open for one of the applause cues, but the applause went anyway, so it was like WHA?!

Tonight the show ran smoothly with sound and light. A few line and lyric flubs, but nothing that would make or break the show :) I enjoyed the awesomeness of everyone! Plus, Liz gave me Sudoku, so I didn't even watch most of the show. I just called cues on lines and beats I was supposed to.
