so school is out and i'm still waiting to find out my grades. if i get A's and B's i'll be so happy. the past few days have been filled with old friends and new friends and a touch of family. today was a complete wait of time so of course when i have nothing to do i start to think. never good. i begun to over anylize some stuff and now i'm just lost and mad at myself because i was trying so hard to shake old habits. dammit kyle why do you have to be right grrrrrrr!

now it is almost one in the morning and i am still mad at myself and playing fetch with my cat

So i realized i still had one of these......heh.....so from last post, Gypsy went really well. All but 3 days sold out. On our biggest night we got a new piano player and he totally botched our 2 minutes on stage by not playing any form of intro for our little song. oh well its fun to laugh about now. Pretty bored for the most part these days. I've been going to some shows at school. because i have connection i've been getting in half price or free. Love it! been trying to hang out with people but it never seems to work out. I've been on a real up for a few weeks and i'm kind of on a slope down. Been doing thinking and i hate going bacl to my old ways. I wish i could just take a chance and not fret so much about the future. I just need to learn to let things play themselves out instead of stopping it before it even starts. In the end kyle was right, i'm afrain of commitment. don't know how to fix it. oh well. we'll see what happens. i've also been feeling kind of like 2nd best in some ways. Sometimes i feel like people are only friend with me because i'm friends with other people. I'm always told one thing but nothing ever follows through. some of my friendships seem very half hearted and i cant decided whether to try and let go or embrace that i have these persons in my life to begin with. I'm happy with my life dont get me wrong, jsut sorting out where things belong i guess

on another note i really suck at this college thing. I've come to realize that if you study you do well....i've never developed a habit of studying...so its bitting me in the butt now. I totally bombed a math test today. i was so ashamed of myself i didnt go back to class afterwards...that'll help. i really dont want to even see my grade cuz i know the prof. is just going to shake her head and say what the hell happened here? finals are next week. year one of college almost complete. weird.

i ran into Rory frommiddle school sunday night. that was a surprise. it hought he hated me. turns out to be a very smart and articulate guy. whodda thunk.

okay i'm done here

an update *gasp* [17 Apr 2005|12:16am]
i'm alive! well i've been busy with Gypsy rehersals. COME SEE IT! It start thursday!!!!! anyways i went from having a crappy day thursday to a great day on friday and relaxation today.

thursday i got up and worked on my scene for acting class. then we did a rehersal performance WHICH SUCKED!!!!!!!! i was so pissed about it. all the work we put in thrown out the window! i was ticked off for the rest of the day. right after that me and timmy went out tolunch where i got pulled over by a cop for not stopping at a stop sign and couldnt find my valid proof of insurence. i luckly got off with a warning cuz i looked like an idiot not knowing what was my registration and insurence. i came all the way back to school to find out my class was canceled AND that i got a D on my math test and a D on my social psych test the day before(and i actually studied for that one). so i went home and nepped till rehersal where we laughed then went out todinner. that was pretty fun.

yesterday i worked which allowed me to cool of from the day befrore then i had to stay till 830 before of finance stuff. then me and lindsey went to didnt and for no real reason drove up to dana point and drove around. shed never seen it beofre so i got to play tour guide. it was fun. on the way back we were driving through san clemente and as luck would have it i drove right into a sobriety check point!!!! i was laughing because of the ironey of the day before. the cop got a kick out of the giant tassel hanging from my rearview mirror.

today we had a garage sale...pretty boring but i got $30 out of it. i had the whole day to myself so i cleaned out my room listening to msic really lously and me and my dad moved a new dresser into my room and tok out my old ones. a good relaxing day. i really should have caught up on mymath hw....oh well.

ummm so yeah thats it, come see the show its really good!

well i got my audition over and done with for Gypsy! i nailed my monologue but my song sucked! the guy who played piano played Take Me Or Leave Me from RENT like a ballad so i was totally thrown off. half way through i was like screw this he doesnt kow how to play so i just sang as best as i could. we'll see what happens. worse case scenario i'll do stage crew =)

as for The Boys Next Door......One weekend down on more to go. the first week went real well....saturday we had a rough night because the light guy zoned out and messed up some light cues then the one majorly important song of the first act got messed up......we fized it though....no one really seemed to notice, which is good. We've gotten really good responses form people though. everyone i've talked to really liked it so i hope that next weekend we have a bigger turnout....i think that we will...........YOU ALL MUST COME AND SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ready go!

wow. i've never really been put in my place before. there was some duscussion on the GPA lj and when i simply try to offer advice, i get shot. should have figured though. imean guajome isnt the same anymore. What kind of bothers me now is that someone went off on how i tell people what to do and what not at guajome events "because i think i know everything". i'm not sure which events they may be refering to, but everything i can think of i was asked to help with.

fine.

as much as i want it to roll off my back, it really bothers me that people dont just tell me these things straight out and they have to do it through lj and stuff......makes me wonder what people really think about me. i hate beign so self concious.

wow this week went by really fast. the cast came back sunday from ACTF. so now its the last two weeks till be open and i can feel the pressure of show starting to build. I got timmy on props which takes a load off me. thanx timmy! we've run throught the show like once and we have a ways to go but i have faith in the cast. once next thursday rolls around i'm gunna be way stressed.................we open in 2 weeks............... dang. everything will be okay.

its been a lot of fun to say the least. its gotten my mind off crap that has been bugging me. now i just need to be sure i keep p with my classes. i hate my chemisrty class. the way hes teaching is going to screw me over so bad. we'll see how all that goes. oh man today i was at school for over 12 hours. i had class from 9-2:50 then i had to be at a photo shoot for the show then we had rehearsal. i shouldnt be the one complaining, i mean the guys work harder then i do....still doesnt mean i'm not tired.

the issues that have pushed me to my limits made me decide that i'm going to avoid the situations all together for a while, or at least till my show is done. i'll be stressed enough as is.

my brain is numb. i'm in a state of not wanting to think so i think i'll go to bed. night

lyrics i'm addicted to right now [11 Feb 2005|12:51am]
"Kiss me too fiercely
hold me to tight
i need help believing
your with me tonight
my wildest dreamings
could not have forseen
lying beside you
with you wanting me

and just for this moment
as long as your mine
i've lost all resistance
and crossed some border line
and if it turns out
its over too fast
i'll make every last moment last
as long as your mine"
-Wicked "As Long As Your Mine"


*sigh* if only.....oh well

i could swaet that i had updated this thing like 2 days ago.....maybe that was my myspace....dang i cant keep track anymore. anyways. here i am NOT at rehearsal for a change. it was odd. i've had boys next door stuff everyday since last wednesday. Its going to be such a cool show. However i'm slightly nervous cause we're losing half our cast for 4 days while they are at a theatre festival i really want to go to. oh well. next year for sure...who knows if luck chooses it maybe i'll get nominated for this or gypsy...yeah right. All i have to say is that all those actors better have those lines memorized inside and out when they come back...

My classes are pretty good. not a whole lot of homework yet. i really like my acting class. i like how we are easing into getting onstage by doing simple things, not memorizinf anything just yet. i have to come up with a 2 minute drill my tuesday, basically reenact 2 minutes of my life when i'm alone such as reading, eating, bruching my teeth, anything.....its not supposed to be anything real out there but i dont want to do something typical ya know..

blah i'm bored....

2nd day of school. yesterday was alright. my sociology class shuold be interesting. ryan and juan are there with me....so is katie rusch which was incredibly random. meh oh well. my teacher blew up stuff in my chem class. he filled 5 balloons with helium or hydrogen....we needed to find out which contained which gas...SO WE LIT THEM ON FIRE!! the ones with hydrogen exploded with this huge fire ball. it was neat. i was sittingin the front and itfeaked me out at first. that wil be the only interesting thing that will happen all semester i'll bet. those 2 classes alone will have me busy with homework everynight. then today i had acting and math. the acting class should be fun non the less.....i need to get on stage soon before i get too freaked out to do anyhting in the future. we were let out early which allowed for a 3 hour break between classes for me and timmy. so what did we do? went to the mall of course. ate cinnibon walked around in shops. ran into a guy i knew from church. then we came to my house where we blasted Avenue Q music...played with my cats....ate panada express, well timmy did. then back to school for math. my teacher was 15 minutes late. eh oh well. that class is gunna be a pain because my teacher doesnt teach. she kind of assumes we know everything already and jsut does like 8 problems on the board and asks if we get it. then we have that to work off of for our hw....i want to have my prof. i had last semester! i hate you timmy.....but he doesnt have a class at a decent hour...i'm not about to wake up for a 7am class. guess i'll just have to deal

tomorrowi start my stuff for Boys Next Door. auditions are tomorrow and thursday. then we start rehearsals sunday i believe. then monday or tuesday i'll gunna go do a cold reading for Vagina Monologues so i can get that over with. but yeah. it shall become a busy life for me. if i do what i planned hw shouldnt be to bad. its really a matter of self dicipline this semester...i need to keep a B average is i have any shot of transfering to a decent school......

dang i still need to finish reading the script...im gunna hop to that right now

my last chance for lazyness [22 Jan 2005|12:23am]
well the past few days have been pretty eventful. tuesday i got off work and remembered that canalettis class was having tech week at miracosta so i decided to stop by to just say hi to pauly and kyle and all them since i havent seen them in forever. i got there and kyle gave me a wonderful welcome by eating it as he tripped over some clothes on the floor...it was freakin hilarious. i wound up staying to help andrea with stage managing advice and helping amndy with audition stuff. after i went to in and out with kyle and paige. had some good laughs. pauly asked me to come back again so i did....then after that i went to college group where it will probably be my last time for quite a while which makes me sad. then pauly and andrea wanted me to kinda guide the booth people in what to do....min you this is the day before opening....by the end of the night they were starting to get the hang of it and it was a 4 hour show. tonight i went to actually see the show and not help at all. it went really well. i'm some proud of them all, especially the booth people for getting it together in one day. the play itself was so funny, now that i can actually pay attention to the lines. over all i had a good time.

tomorrow my dad is entering a poker tournaent so the parents are going to pala or harrahs or someplace and i actually will have nothing to do. the plan. DYE MY HAIR!! yay...im due. my old color is faded and i gots roots. probably go to the color i had it...just darker.

this is my last opportunity to take it easy. sunday i think i'm hannging otu with girls from church and then monday school starts and the work begins. i meet my director monday, read the play by wednesday, auditions wed and thrsday, call backs and work friday... i might have saturday off but i'm not getting my hopes up.....then i think the first rehearsal will be sunday for read through and whatnot.....then it rehearse rehearse rehearse tech tech tech show audition show, and if things go how i'd like, gypsy rehearsals begind right after my show closes.....TEHN mid way through gypsy i'll hopefully gain the nerve to adition for Moonlight..........well see.....then that should take care of my theatre stuff till summer......YAY for being busy....boo for going to be poor from all the fast food i'll be buying cuz i wont have time to go home between class and rehearseal/shows.......its gunna be great!

so who wants to tutor me in chemistry cuz i knwo i'm gunna struggle with that

bah i hate it when the little things get to me. so i took my cat to the vet yesterday and it instantly brought back all the pain and worry from when diva was sick. now i have this fear implanted in the back of my mind that keeps saying that Nala isnt going to see the the age of 2 because of the same illness. now logically i know things are alright. the vet said its just a cold. and really thats what it is, however i keep thinking that this is just the start of a series of crappy things......i hate this feeling!!! its like i have mini anxiety attacks, cold flashes, dreading going home, locking myself away, jsut wanting to sleep....grrrrr. i just keep telling my self that shes fine. guess thats all i can do....i just want this feeling to stop!!!

in other news i hung otu with timmy kiigan andrew last night and we went gambling with a pocket full of coins. it was f un. we had no idea what we were doing. in the end andrew won $12. then we had some good laugh at in and out...kiigan makiung the weirdest metaphor for gay guys who dont get along/....or something like that.......maybe

so the majority of that past couple days has been working then coming home at which point i import my CDs one at a time into itunes only for it to not be able to be transferd onto the actual ipod....grrrrrrrrr...oh well i have yet to pirate other peoples music.

tonight was fun. i ung out with kiigan and timmy with full intentions of buying andrews birthday presnt....yeah didnt happen. i wound up buying 2 jackets for myself...decently priced though i must add. Dont worry andrew i'll have it by your actual birthday =) then we went to starbucks where a guy left his entire stash of Starbucks snack foods unguarded so we persuaded timmy to steal teach the truck man a lesson by...uh....perminantly borrowing some cookies....IT WAS HIS FAULT!!he literally left them on the side walk out in the open while he took one load inside....he was asing for it...i love stolen cookies, cookies cookies cookies, down they go, in my belly, yum yum yum =)

wow i'm a little hyper. i have come to the conclusion tha Showtunes make me happy. timmy made me a CD with Ave. Q, Phantom and other stuff but it doesnt work....must hit him up with new one soon cuz you know why??? "everyones a little bit racist." hehe..guess you should know lyrics to avenue Q to not be offended by that....oh well....k i'm bored of this. later!

these were just kind of interesting [04 Jan 2005|10:40pm]
Some Fun Facts:

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it.)

If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it!)

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. (O.M.G.!)

A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (In my next life, I want to be a pig.)

A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.) (I'm still not over the pig.)

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Do not try this at home...... maybe at work.)

The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. ("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!")

The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes... lucky pig... can you imagine??)

The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)

Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity)

Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know.)

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmmmmm........)

Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)

Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (OK, so that would be a good thing....)

A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.)

Starfish have no brains. (I know some people like that, too.)

Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.)

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (What about that pig??)

Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle)...in other words send it to everyone.

to vegas and back again [03 Jan 2005|05:02pm]
well i'm homef rom Vegas. for those who didnt know i have been in Vegas for New Years. I thought it was going to be pretty boring since i was in that semi limbp state of cant gamble, arcades alone dont do much for me, and being fresh meat for the creepy drunks. the trip over all went from eh to great! recap!

thursday- drive there, eat food, walk around, be lazy in room, sleep

friday- food, go to Mandalay Bay to go to the aquarium thing they have there, go back to room while parents and brother go gamble, at 11:15 we went down to the strip where they closed it to traffic and waited for the fire works. at 12 seven different fireworks displays went off and lasers were everywhere. That was actually pretty cool. that night was amusing becausze my mom kept trying to buy me booze when i told her i was fine "But i dont want you to be left out" i had so drinks from my dads Mike Hard Lemonade later.

Saturday- went on the monorail that went all the way down the strip. wow theyve added lots of stuff since i was there last time. then for some strange reason we walked all the way back from treasure island to Luxor...yeesh. me, my brother and my dad climbed a 75 ft rock wall. that was hard. then rode to rollercoaster at NY NY which is the reason why i have bruises on my shoulders from the should harnesses. then go to the room to sleep.

Sunday- Okay nothing really happened during the day but my mom felt bad cuz i wasnt really having any fun so far so my mom said i could go see Blue Man Group. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! the show was awesome!!!!!!!!!!! with out ever saying word the show had me cracking up. and the music was so cool. i bought a CD of it cuz its just that good. i also got a picture with one of them after the show. i'll post that once i transfer it. i cant even discribe it in writing with out taking up a lot of room so i'll just have to tell you about it in person. all i have to say right now....see it! it only plays in Las Vegas, New York, Chicago, and Boston...so if you get a chance see it! you wont regret it i promise.

and finaly after a 6 hour ride home through the rain and then getting my car back from getting fixed i'm home... the end....sorry this was lengthy
