sit down son

I'm currently baking what definitely constitutes A Ridiculous Amount of Cake.

Why, you might ask? Why because I'm making a model of the Globe Theatre out of it for my Theatre History class.

Hey, come on. What's better than a project you get to eat afterwards?

What I'm still surprised about is that the prof is really letting me DO IT. Ahahaha. I'm excited.

Last night had me laughing my ass off in SO MANY WAYS.

First off, I just bounce back fast. I can't be sad forever. I just can't. So when I got to the show for call I'm like. YESTERDAY DID NOT HAPPEN LET'S HAVE FUN AND ROCK THIS SHIT. Which basically means chasing people around, making funny faces and basically failing at putting on clothing.

...Okay that last part has nothing to do with anything but I do basically fail at putting on clothing backstage. I'll be standing there in my underthings and fishnets and then just got I HAVE TO ___ and run off and do it. This tends to stay confined to the dressing room/bathroom, but people like to forget to close the door. All I'm saying is that it's a hangover from the first two nights of the show when the AIR CONDITIONING WASN'T WORKING AND IT WAS ABOUT A MILLION DEGREES IN THERE. Habit became to get off stage, go to the dressing room and strip down until you absolutely had to put clothes back on.

Yeeeaaah. MOVING ON FROM THE CLOTHING THING.

One of our directors took up the role of Queen Bee last night and OH MY GOD. Right BEFORE the show she had the lines pretty well and has ALWAYS completely owned the song...She was originally going to BE Queen Bee, but they didn't have enough money to make two costumes for her AND the girl who's been playing her so. Yeah. She just wore the robe thing and didn't worry about the dress.

Not the point. This scene is like. Everyone's favorite. It's BASICALLY a black southern baptist sermon and a gospel song. I'm not even kidding. But when Krystal got on stage last night to do it, all the lines clearly flew RIGHT OUT OF HER HEAD and all of a sudden, we're in a dark wood with no friends but SHE'LL be our friend and OH MY GOD. We were all just there. On stage going "I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON!!! :D!!!" But it WORKED. And was AMAZING. And she can't even REMEMBER what all she said.

Yeah so there was that. skjhjasghad dying. still. But I may or may not be RPing somewhere that isn't GLOL again and AHHH FAILED AT SLEEPING SO HAARRD. Thank god class was canceled akjsshfkasjhf. BUT SO FUNNY. SO WORTH IT.

So basically the world took pity on me for being an ABSOLUTE AND UTTER BASTARD and decided to make my life hilarious again.

I AM SO PLEASED.

THOUGH PSA, FOLKS. I think I'm about to get productive and friends cut out of a need to BE ABLE TO READ MY FLIST. Too many of you guys and I don't even know where I picked up some of you. WORRY NOT, I STILL RARELY FLOCK SO CARRY ON READING IF YOU SO CHOOSE! And if you really want to stick around, TELL ME~

So some crap went down on Sunday that has completely destroyed my typically LONG FUSE for annoyances. I think I've gotten more pissed off in the past two days than I have all semester. Which isn't cool.

See, I take massive issue with people forgetting I exist while I'm sitting right in front of them in my own living room. Suffice it to say that I sat there and yelled at the lot of them, even the ones who didn't deserve it (Jesse is the best person in the world for just sitting there and then hugging me. He's like an awesome giant teddy-bear. And I mean giant, the boy's ridiculously tall.). Buuuut yeah. If it didn't sin into their heads I might have to make heads roll.

Hi. I have a temper. And a loud voice.

But since then things that are generally minor annoyances have really set me off and it's at once frustrating and embarrassing because I take PRIDE in being relatively level-headed, for being comic relief, for not getting involved in icky wangsty stuff unless it's completely unavoidable. I don't LIKE confrontation, but I'm not afraid of it, yanno? Cause I always have surprise on my side but if I don't get this temper flare to GO THE HELL AWAY....shock will no longer be my friend in bending idiots to my way of thinking.

Parts of Sunday evening were hilarious though. Mostly when Bailey did this blue air-pink air relaxation exercise thinger (which was hilarious in its own right because I was just listening to her and it sounded like a mixture of a fucked up version of Mr. Bubbles and a sex dream) and halfway through she spots a cockroach on the wall, shakes my foot, points it out, and keeps on going until the end when she said in the SAME CALM VOICE "Now when you're ready, open your eyes...And someone please kill the cockroach." Seeing EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM LEAP in the air was one of the funniest things of my life. Just. Amazing. Plus The Professor (aka Ryan) actually was INTERESTED in the concept of online RPGs. So I got to talk about that for a while. *_*

But yeah, not going into details of why I got angry because it will make me angry again and I'm trying to NOT be pissy, seeing as I have to spend several hours a day with the lot of them until like, Sunday when the show closes.

People are retarded. And piss me off more than getting bumped into in the parking lot an hour ago. That just made me laugh.

HOWEVER!! I did acquire the Chipmunk Adventure soundtrack from RL!Steph yesterday and have every intention of torturing them alllll with it tonight before the show. >D I'm a winnar.

Also, I need to stop RPing until way-later-than-my-bedtime-this-week and write my jump exchange fic which is due, oh, IN A FEW HOURS. I also need to write a research paper proposal which was technically due like, a week ago. Agchk. Not enough time in the day, folks. Not nearly enough.

But Bones last night was amazing. *__* And I need more OP and FT like, now. Come on week, pass faster. Without destroying my brain, preferably. I only just got that back.

So my matching bag for my laptop came yesterday. *_* IT'S SO NICE! I was digging through it going OO! POCKETS! And the spot where the laptop goes is so sooooft. I want a bed made out of that stuff. No fair, lappy. No fair at all.

Actually I'm just tired and want ANY sort of bed. ;_; I NEED A NAP. MAYBE I'LL GET ONE TODAY. *_* there's nothing left to come to my door and interrupt perfectly good napping time, SO WE SHALL SEEEE~!

Last night was our first dress rehearsal for On Dragonfly Wings. Oh. My. God. You GUYS. You WISH you had costumes as cool as these. I'm a GUPPY and a BUMBLE BEE. It's amazing. Not as amazing as Vince's CRANE COSTUME WITH THE 3 FOOT TALL BIG HEAD THAT HE CAN BARELY SEE THROUGH THE NECK OF, but still pretty amazing. I hauled my laptop there in it's shiny newness with its shiny new bag and made people plonk down in front of the camera. SMILE AT THE FLASHING BLUE LIGHT, GUYS! It was pretty spiffy. I'm really failing at typing on this keyboard in the language lab. My brain is shot to hell and back. This is freaking fantastic.

( PICTURES!!! )

Enough of that. I found last night that even WITH the whole 1 mbps issue on Shanks [which would be my laptop's name, stfu, it's RED, okay?!?!] I can still RP on it loads faster just because stuff LOADS AS IT SHOULD!!! No clicking a tab or window and waiting forever for it to pull up. *_* A delay on internet response, but not on the COMPUTER ITSELF. *___* It made my life amazing. Life was generally amazing last night except for the point at which I forgot I was actually really tired and forgot to sleep.

Oops.

Thank you, everyone who's commented to me lately and I haven't responded too. It meant a lot. ♥ My high school is raising money to try to help Mary's grandkids who she was taking care of. I found out they were actually in the room with her when she was shot. Which is. aksjhasfhkjshf. I can't even imagine.

But that said. Life is settling back into normalcy, which is really, really relieving even if it's still exhausting and stressful. That much I can deal with pretty easily at least. Things are still sad and they won't stop being sad, but I've been in a good mood today. Which I refuse to feel guilty for.

Watch me break this up in cuts to save your flists.

Funny/Exciting stuff uncut:

I ordered a new laptop yesterday! This is something I'm massively excited about. It's the first big purchase I've made ON MY OWN with my OWN MONEY and it will also be the first NEW computer I've ever had. It's a Dell. It's red. It's got SPACE and MEMORY and *___* In the words of nickelodeon, it will be so sexy.

I also spent about four hours today while at work browsing thinkgeek.com. Let me tell you, that shit is hilarious. The alarm clocks! The lights! The random gadgets and games and ANNOYING DEVICES! It's a great way to waste time.

I also got a good kick out of copperbadge today, which has led me to believe that since it's actually possible, the fact that there is no fic about Chopper having to fix someone's FRACTURED PENIS is a great, great tragedy. Please agree with me here.

( Theatre and some fandom )

I hope people are starting to feel a little better about yesterday and its tragedy. I know it's not going to go away or anything, but still being able to enjoy things in life is so important, at least to me. I'd go crazy if I just stayed sad for ages. I don't deal with it well. So. ♥ because that's really all I can do.

Well not exactly. My life is basically is out to get me though. I WILL SURVIVE. I hope. Hahahaha.

Rehearsals for Dragonfly Wings have gotten completely insane. We're still a few weeks out and we had to be there for FOUR HOURS the other night. This, mind, is after class and work and on a Tuesday. So you just have to turn around and do it again the next day. And it wouldn't really be a problem if it were a straight drama or comedy or whatever and not a MUSICAL. My voice was completely dying by the end and there are two or three songs that it doesn't matter how many times you go through them and try to build up stamina for them, when you get off stage, collapse is imminent. It's really high energy and I'm just not USED to that anymore. So it's wearing on me. And my appetite has gone up SO MUCH because of it.

In other news, I fucked up my left hand pretty badly on Monday at rehearsal. Jammed the three middle fingers. Usually I'd take my butt to the Health Services and get them to take a look at it but I haven't had TIME. At all. So it feels better now and typing doesn't hurt like mad [bit of a twinge] but there's still some swelling behind the knuckles of the first and middle fingers. But it's better. So I'm guessing that means I didn't do anything TOO bad to it? I hope.

I have the actually rather rational fear hanging over me that I'm going to sick again on top of everything. Remember last year? Spent almost a month sick as a dog with back-to-back-to-back cases of the flu? It's allergy season and I'm fighting with everything I have NOT to fall into that. Bailey was already knocked out from them for a day or two. I had to take her home early from class Monday and then force feed her citrus and stuff. And she hates me because it worked.

I slept for something like nine hours last night and it still isn't helping me not be CONSTANTLY EXHAUSTED. I get home at night and practically fall over. But I'm doing well in classes, which is always good. Would love a nap now though.

But I'm at work and a Christian Motorcyclist crew keeps popping their heads in my door.

Yeah. They have a bible on their jackets and bikes.

It's sorta weird.

Guess that's all for now! I do have fun stuff to post about later on, but I just needed to complain for a while. ♥

So another St. Patrick's Day has come and gone and ended with me emptying my stomach at my apartment. Yes, I've only lived here a year, but I was here on this day last year too. Har har. And I'm awake at this stupid hour because....I woke up and am too hungry to go back to sleep. Which means I shall be heading to McDonald's soon to get some breakfasty food because they stopped serving dinner foods like, an hour and a half ago. I don't care, I just need food.

So I looked like an idiot most of the day, COMPLETELY decked out in green. For the later part of it I even had leprechaun ears. You know it's hot. Yeah, actually I don't know what I was thinking with that, but they were free so I wore them.

St. Pats also happens to be Meagan's birthday [NOT MINE BUT A GOOD FRIEND'S, HAHA] so after Locos and a Guinness and a car bomb and the free shit, we went and partied with her. It turns out that she is friends with someone I have known since FRESHMAN YEAR. Bucky. I haven't seen him in ages and thus when he turned up he pretty much knocked me over, knocked my hat off and made me spill my beer. But it was pretty cool to see him. He said of ALL the people in our 1906 class, I was the LAST one he ever expected to be drinking with. Which makes sense because I was a massive stick in the mud when he knew me. OH HOW THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED. But hey, it was fun.

I'm discovering the downside of alcohol is that I drink, I pass out, I wake up at weird times and realize how much shit I missed online. DAMNIT ALL. You know what guys? I am going HOME tomorrow, so for the rest of spring break I will MOST LIKELY be sober and online because I definitely don't go out when I'm home. I tend to stay....at home. Hahahaha.

I'm going to visit my sister on thursday though, which should be fun, if a rather long drive. She lives RIGHT ON the Alabama state line. AKA on the complete opposite side of Georgia. -_- Good job, Birdy. Good job. But I think it shall be worth it!

Now, for food. And then to watch One Piece before I pass out again. \o/

My application for Trinity is officially DONE, in the MAIL and completely out of my hands AND hair!!

Which means I can finally rant about all the million and a half bones I have to pick with the WHOLE ORDEAL.

( Much ranting, ahoy! )

BUT ALL THAT ASIDE. It's done. It's gone. And as of RIGHT NOW, I am no longer going to spend time stressing over it as I have for the past week and a half. *___* Time to ENJOY LIFE AGAIN.

So I feel pretty accomplished right now.

After the hell that was sheer exhaustion and cramps last night, I woke up much more refreshed. So then Steph came and picked me up just after noon, we got lunch and I found her another dancer for the show she's in because one of the ones they had decided to vanish off the face of the planet. Point 1 for today! Then we went to the Costume Shop and I hemmed about a thousand costumes. Okay, more like five or six but it was a lot of hemming for someone who doesn't exactly sew regularly. I just go in when I KNOW they're behind schedule [which I know because Steph works there and gets PAID for it, unlike me. XD] to help out. So that's Point 2 for today! Plus it's fun. I like working with things with my hands. :D And I'm getting pretty quick/good at it. And now I have a little time to kill before Steph comes back and we cook dinner for who-knows-how-many-people. Always fun! We have to go to the store first though, as we're PRETTY MUCH OUT OF FOOD. GAH! Except the really random stuff we definitely don't need and almost never use so it doesn't really count. So that will be Point 3 and life is good.

AND OMG LATEST CHAPTER OF OP. *____* Can I just say I am REALLY excited to see where this is going??? Because I am. Is it next friday yet?!

SUP FOLKS. I come bearing the bad news that our gorgeous weather ceased to be over the course of about 8 hours where the temperature plunged 30 degrees. Suffice it to say that I am not adjusting well. Weather is a cruel bitch and that, quite simply, is that. Now have a list of funny things:

[♥] Despite the lack of bats, my job has continued to be absolutely hilarious through this week. Tuesday was everyone ASKING about the bats and today? Well, today I walk in and realize that all the lights are off and the shop isn't open Now I come in at one. We open at nine. I was justifiably confused.

So I call the Boss Man.

Me: Hey John? I walked in and all the lights were off, is there something going on I need to know about?
Him: No? Who was supposed to work this morning?
Me: ...Well actually you usually do, John.

Yeah, my boss forgot to open the shop. Excuse me as that STILL amuses me.

[♦] And speaking of Joe, google documents offended his sensibilities.

[♣] And last but not least, enjoy a rundown of the contents of my purse, as it's oddities often serve me well.

+ 1 wallet plus moneys [duh]
