I have been trying to be more positive now. I generally think that I am a positive person. Generally optimistic. I do tend to complain. But I am not unbearable, I generally fit into the consensus of the situation. I am sunny. I do have a dark streak, but I think that is part of my charm. That and my sarcasm. And great ass. But the show that I am in now...situations that are happening around me are blowing my mind. I would really love the kids in my school to read this, but I don't want to bother with the drama it would cause, since the cfa-ers have really dramatic tendencies in real life situations. I want to make a point of saying that I LOVE THE PEOPLE IN MY CLASS...some do not apply to these statements, but ALOT do, but I still love them all. Ok, the first thing is the severe unprofessionalism of the senior class. I have never seen people not give less of a shit for their careers than the people here. We have had a lot of workshop kinda stuff recently. Readings for a theatre BU is affiliated with (BU playwriting program). SAG/AFTRA/AEA panel. Freelancing panel. Speaking with a working actor. Fake audition classes. These things are set up to HELP US WHEN WE GET OUT! This is stuff we don't really know. And are not really taught and people blow it off. Not care. Put no effort into it. As if this is a burden to us. I understand that technically, for us, there is only one week of classes left, but who the FUCK do you think you are, how do you have the right to say the things you say, do what you do, and act how you act? It just pisses me off.

Now here is the other thing that has been bothering me. Hatred and the effort that is put in to making people miserable. Here is the first situation, a girl, who can be annoying as hell, but is a sweetheart IF TREATED NICELY. She can be bit of a diva when it comes to singing and music, she can be a huge pain in the ass. Now there is like 6 other people in the cast who go OUT OF THEIR WAY to make fun of her (to her face), out her down, undermine her. One, who I am really sad he fell to this level, but I know immaturity is totally a factor in this, which is understandable, punched her twice, he made it seem like an accident, but she knew. This was dared by two other kids in the cast...Now what if they just ignored her and her comments, you don't like her, don't talk to her, do not put her in your life. Simple as fucking that. Next, good friend of mine HATES another friend of mine, like HATES HATES, like it emotionally affects her. Now again, what if she just ignored it?
I have found alot out about myself and how i react in these situations. And how hppy it makes me. I do not hate people. It is totally not worth it. To get me to HATE you takes a hell of alot of effort. And you are a douche anyway if you try to get on that side of me.

So there.

And also, I love Greg Grunberg...is that so wrong?

:D

dark horse

I think that Dark Horse will be the title of my thesis. 
I like it, it suits me. And is George Harrison related. So yeah. 

R & G is over. And it has been a phenomenalexperience. My 2 most proudest productions of my life so far, have been what i like to call "altered Shakespeare" productions. "R & G" (Hamlet on it's head) and "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)" (shakespeare on his head). I have been getting so much positive feedback from people, stopping me in the halls, emailing me. I am so happy and so effing proud. Now I need to take all that positive and wonderful energy and pass it off to next year, when in January/February, I will be partaking in about 4 "productions" at the same time:
1. Pope Joan
2. Irene Ryan Awards
3. Devil's Teacup at the regional american college theatre festival
4. My thesis

wish me luck.

and if you haven't seen the pictures...I make a cute boy.

now time for christmas shopping! yea!!!
