 Sunday, December 13, 2009  I've been cast as Sebastian in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Wednesday, December 09, 2009 My only rule: never fall in love at the Jersey Shore. Tuesday, December 08, 2009  YES! Thursday, November 26, 2009  Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! =) Saturday, November 21, 2009 -Mother does not have Leukemia -Going to Oklahoma on Monday -Flaky friend apologized Life is better. Monday, November 16, 2009 Talking w/JoBeth regarding flaky friends. Why do we keep them around? Its kind of weird how you can be so close to someone one day and then the next its like you don't matter to them at all. Then I wonder is it me? Is my perception of the friendship skewed by my own misconceptions? Then the next thought is it just them and their own issues? Like you're friends but solely on their terms. Perhaps its a combination of the two. Regardless of the reasons it hurts. I prayed about it and remembered that Christ also had trouble with his friends at times. I suppose its comforting that even God has had His feelings hurt by those close to Him. And perhaps its all some kind of strange blessing as they say actors need pain to give good performances. Saturday, November 14, 2009 Okay so I actually had a nice time on my date the other day. I dont know why I stress out over them so much. I think its because when I was going through adolescence in my church the youth minister always would tell us never to date until you're ready to get married. Thus for me all dates kind of seem like some marriage interview. Which I guess it is in a way, but it when I think of it as such it just stresses me out and makes me feel trapped. HOWEVER I had a good time and it was no big deal. I think I'll try to go out on more. Friday, November 13, 2009 So I have a blind lunch date today my friends set me up on. This is probably the last time I will go on a blind date like this as I do not like it. I don't care for dating to begin with, particularly since it is not on my terms. I also get tired of people lecturing me about being single- like I've done something personally to them. Whatever. I'll be nice and go. Maybe she'll be cool. Wednesday, November 04, 2009  So I took my blue belt test for my Jiu Jitsu class last Friday and passed- whohooo! This means that I do indeed rock, and now I can take the advanced fighting class. Its not like bare knuckle boxing or anything, more like grappling. SO today I had my first class and by chance I'm partnered with this one fella who was...a challenge to work with. When I say challenge I mean he was kind of dumb, a baby, and inpatient. For the last 7 months I've noticed that most folks in the class are cool and wanting to learn. This guy wanted to be as rough as possible with me- not allowing me to learn the moves, etc, but anytime he was accidentally grazed he whines! What a baby. It seems like he was one of these guys who lived his childhood and teenage years with a slim layer of muscle and a substantial layer of fat which endowed him to pick on people. However, abra-cadabra, he's an adult and he's in a class with other adults, and he gets freaked out when he's not in control or the strongest person in the room. I could deal with the roughness, big deal- I'm in a martial arts class, that's how it rolls. But don't be rough and then play the victim when someone is rough with you. He was also uncommunicative and wicked impatient with me! Ah well. We sparred and I won, so blee. The last 30 minutes we got to switch, and once I ditched tweedle-dumb it was fun and productive. I have a lot to learn though. Tuesday, November 03, 2009 Man I thought the new V show was really good. Saturday, October 31, 2009  Happy Halloween! Thursday, October 29, 2009 So yesterday I go surfing w/Marcos, James Kirk, and Calvin. James and Marcos know how to, but Calvin and I are new at it (I went once in Israel a long time ago). LOL- my gallant attempts were mainly trying to row out to were the other surfers were, but the ocean was rejecting me and I kept getting pushed to shore by the waves, lol. What happens is your supposed to row out a little deeper but there's waves closer into shore to (I think its called the breakwater??). And there's a specific way to not get pushed back by the shallow water waves so you can go out to the deeper water where you can actually ride the waves. This is my understanding of it at least. To not get pushed back by the break water waves you're supposed to do a kind of push down on the board, make it sink, adjust your legs on it, and go under the water with the board. And yes it is as hard to execute as it is to read. It was a challenge though, and I'd like to go again. I resembled something like a rescued old lady drowning victim at the end of it all though. LOL And it was freezing! The water wasnt so bad but when you exit the sand felt like I was walking on broken glass. My feet and toes were also numb! Saturday, October 10, 2009 So far rehearsals are going well for Alexander Pothos (the play in which I am Alexander the Great). The director has a lot of great ideas and ways to work and rehearse the scenes. She incorporates a lot of improv which I really like. My only worry is that I think she needs a good assistant director to handle some of the more practical aspects of putting up a play. Labels: Alexander Pothos I want to go to London. Ever make nothing into something catastrophic, realize it was nothing, and then feel like an idiot? |
