Random fact:
I thought for the random facts, you just said something random about yourself no one knew (in the beginning of my time at Mdn). Not day-to-day stuff. |

This morning, I was in a domestic frame of mind and came home from uni all inspired to clean my room.
Then I actually looked at my room and decided otherwise. |

It only just now occurred to me that the research paper I wrote back in college on Victorian era prostitution in London (entitled, "London Bridge is Going Down") really should have included some mention of Jack the Ripper. I have no idea how that never crossed my mind, because I genuinely did do the research and earn the grade, so I must have read plenty about it, even though I don't recall.
I did get an A on it, though, largely due to my personal charm which inevitably shone through my words. The professor later told me that he had never even heard some of the colorful terminology I used. He counted up forty-two different expressions I used for sexual intercourse. He also said mine was the first research paper he had ever read that effectively used the C-word for nothing but pure, unabashed shock value at its least necessary, and that he respected me for it. "Words is kind of my thing." |

Speaking of prostitution..I just finished the most epic presentation about prostitution in Ancient Greece and Rome for my global history of sexuality class. Hoorah! | ||||||
| Jman383 |
The ancient Greeks invented prostitution, you know 
|
||||||
| Beagle On Stage |
The Greeks may be the first society that officially records the practice, but I can't imagine that it didn't exist from the dawn of man. Prostitution is trade/commerce at its most basic human level... hence the distinction of "the world's oldest profession." | ||||||

Back at my elementary school, we had a very distinctive form of punishment for recess rule-breakers. If one of the playground teachers saw you being bad, they would put you on "the wall."
The wall was an imposing brick structure overlooking the playground. (Actually, it was the side of the gym.) When sent there, you had to go stand with your back against the wall, displayed for all of the other kids to see. Not only did you have to endure their humiliating, judgemental stares, but you couldn't take part in any of the recess festivities. Hopefully, you would learn a lesson from being on the wall, but most of the regulars never did. Usually, people who were often on the wall were the "bad kids" - those who everyone knew were nothing but trouble. They pushed people down, put pushpins on the teacher's chair, abused the xylophones in music class...and, more often than not, had to go to the office at lunchtime to take their medication. But the wall wasn't the only recess policy we had. There were lots and lots of rules that you had to follow. One of these was that you weren't allowed to cross the yellow line on the blacktop. It just wasn't done. Anything behind the yellow line was off-limits. I'll be the first to admit that, on that particular day, we did happen to be jump-roping behind the yellow line. This is the story of the one and only time that I was put on the wall. We should have known we'd get caught. After all, we were in plain view. It wasn't long before one of the playground teachers saw us and blew her whistle. We knew right away that it must be one of the mean playground teachers. The nice ones approached you and spoke kindly. Mean ones just blew their whistles at you first and asked questions later. It was like Glinda and the Wicked Witch. When she blew her whistle at us, we scattered, knowing that we were faster than her. She might have the wind to chase after one or two of us, but she couldn't sprint in every direction at once - especially in those cowboy boots. Someone would get caught, but most would escape. As we fled, we took off our jackets - she hadn't had a good look at our faces, so if we weren't wearing the same colors she had seen us in, she might not be able to find us. I got to the other side of the playground and hid under a pile of leaves some other kids were building a fort out of. After a few minutes, I assumed she had gone after someone else and I was safe. But as soon as I came out of hiding, she was right there, bellowing with hateful vengeance, "Go to the wall!" At first I attempted to play innocent. "Why?" "You were playing behind the yellow line," she hissed. "No, I wasn't," I gasped, horrified to hear that someone had had the malice to break such a fundamental rule. "I saw you back there!" "No, that kid was wearing a green jacket." "Why did you run away and hide?" the Wicked Witch shrieked. "And who killed my sister?" "I didn't run away," I said, a picture of complete innocence, complete with Bambi eyes. "I've been playing here, building this fort, the whole time." But it was no use. Before I knew what was happening, I was on the wall! And as if that wasn't enough, I was among common criminals - a kid who had stuck her tongue out at the principal and another one who had said "boobies." Then, in the midst of my despair, I heard a kind voice. I turned and saw a fanny pack with clothespin bathroom passes attached to it - and the bathroom passes were fun colors! It must be one of the nice playground teachers! Thank goodness. She knew that I was a "good kid," and she couldn't believe her eyes. "Are you on the wall?" "Yes," I replied, my voice cold and dripping with bitterness. My heart was like stone, determined that the mean playground teacher wouldn't have the satisfaction of seeing my grief. "Who put you there?" I told her the name of the playground teacher who had given me such a wretched sentence. She nodded thoughtfully and moved around the corner. I had a glimmer of hope. Surely Glinda would confront the Wicked Witch, explain that she had it all wrong, and return to bail me out. But the minutes passed, and she didn't come back. It was the worst lunch recess of my life. When the bell finally rang and my punishment was over, I broke away from the wall and ran for the door of the school as fast as I possibly could. And as I ran from the wall, determined never to return to that vile place of shame and penance, I glanced at the pavement and noticed a very disturbing fact with a jolt of terrible irony: the wall itself was behind the yellow line. |

Today has been long.
My speech for House Captain went extremely well! At worst, I projected too much (Its a massive theatre thing, but I think I went a little TOO loud) and I was a bit too enthusiastic that it became intimidating.. but ah well  I know I got all the votes of the year 7s, haha, but I'm not sure about anyone else. All I know is that one of my "Friends" voted for someone else and not me. A friend that I have always been there for, and I have always stood up for when everyone gave her sh!t. Grr... Meh
Then I made lemon butter in Food Tech. It was spectacular! Preservatives are nice. Then fencing for sport.. I was extremely hungry and bored by then, so I didn't really enjoy it. Blah. It was kinda funny though. Then I walked to work and worked all night. Blah. It was alright. No cute guys came in tonight (Well one did, but I didn't serve him, shame). And my sisters a horrible, thieving idiot.. But whats news? And my throat KILLS. It feels as if I've been coughing non-stop for the last forever, but I haven't  I am SO glad I didn't feel like this yesterday!

Random fact:
There's a thermometer on the wall in my classroom and it says 52 degrees. FIFTY. TWO. DEGREES. It just took me about 5 minutes to type those sentences because my fingers are so frozen they're numb and my nose is running and I'm actually shaking. I hate my school.

I'm trapped in a small conference room all by my lonesome in the dark running seven different WebEx sessions today...so much fun! 
Tonight's out last official rehearsal for Noises Off. The show looked good last night so I'm expexting any remaining speed bumps to be smoothed over tonight. |
||||||
| Brigantine |
Why in the dark, Patch? I guess I don't really know what WebEx is....
********** EDIT to avoid double posting... I sent in an application (well, resume and references, etc.) to this place and they've called back but for some reason I'm afraid to pick up the phone and answer them. they guy who is the first contact and does initial interviews is kind of... weird. Like he really shouldn't be doing his job, but he's been there for so long they couldn't get rid of him. He's hard to talk to (I called there once before) and I'm not excited to talk to him again. I'm afraid he'll just dismiss me because I can't work the odd 7 days on 7 days off full time shifts their looking for. |
||||||
| SmallTownIngenue |
Don't feel well today. 
|
||||||

In the dark because with multiple computer monitors it's easier ont he eyes. WebEx is a webinar program. |

I set an alarm for 9:30 so I wouldn't sleep half the day away.
I slept through it. *headdesk* |

I hate that, when you get the feeling you've missed 3 or 4 hours you could have put to good use doing something.

My obnoxious roommate who is always blaring loud music has been listening to No Scrubs today. (No, I don't want to scrub, a scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me...) He has like ten songs that he cycles through over and over, day after day after day. He seems completely unaware that No Scrubs is about him. He thinks he is a ladies man, but he is unemployed and constantly broke, has had his license permanently revoked for having so many DUIs, is so immature that he puts beer before his credit card payments, etc. It's so embarrassing to hear him rocking out to this song because.... dude.... it's about you.
I'm out of here in sixteen days. Thank God. |

Newly married little sister is hosting Thanksgiving dinner at her new house this year. I haven't decided whether to say anything controversial in the middle of the festivities or not. | ||||||

Tonight was my only evening off, until who knows when. I wanted to have an evening in with my hubby, maybe snuggle and watch a movie. but he decided to go out with his friend instead.
Now I have the opportunity to go Karaoke with a friend, but I don't know what time my hubby will be home. I feel like I should be home when he gets home, but what if he stays out later than planned, and I'm stuck at home waiting for him? Should I just go out? |
||||||
| Beagle On Stage |
I think you should go to karaoke. You work a lot, you shouldn't waste your evening off sitting at home waiting for him when he didn't even say when he would be back. | ||||||
| Brigantine |
Oy, now I'm just tired and don't want to go out anyways. blah.
But thanks for the advice Beagle. I would have gone out if I just didn't suddenly feel so tired... |

"We sing too many showtunes."
They don't sing any showtunes. Come on now... Let's see...since the series started there was... "Where Is Love?", "Sit Down You're Rocking The Boat", "On My Own", "Tonight", "Maybe This Time", "Cabaret", um... That's 6. And two of them weren't sung by the Glee club. D'oh. I'd much prefer showtunes to the really terrible song choices tonight. |

I am so stressed right now.
I want to hit my head with a sledgehammer. I really do. My portfolio for communication design is due tomorrow and I can't decide which four pieces to submit and I'm getting all kinds of conflicting feedback. I don't think I'm going to get in. And if I don't get in then I have no clue what I'm going to do with my life. I hate theatre. I love it, but I hate it. I'm NOT cut out for it. I'm not dedicated to it enough for it to be my career. Iknow this. That's why I need to change my major. Why can't I be good at something that isn't artistic? Like why can't I be really into Psychology? Or Math. Or Science. Instead I'm good at writing, and drawing, and acting, and kinda sorta singing. All shit that makes no money unless you happen to be lucky. Or incredibly effing amazing. But I am neither. And to top it off...for English class we had to read 5 plays. I read four. The fifth one (Hamlet) I started to read but couldn't finish it. I HATE SHAKESPEARE! I don't care if he's a genius I just cannot get through his stuff. Yes, I'm uneducated. Yes I'm ignorant to his brilliance. I don't care. I can't read his work. I try. Iget frustrated. I give up. I've been assigned Hamlet twice and I still haven't comprehended it. I've watched the Mel Gibson film twice and didn't soak it in. Isaw the Brannagh film...didn't follow it. I just can't pay attention to it. And, we had four prompts to write an essay on for class. One for four of the plays. And, just my luck, I got Hamlet. Great. I don't have notes on Hamlet. It was 90 degrees and we were just watching the film. Which I had seen. And didn't comprehend. There are no windows in the classroom. Iwas NOT going to pay attentin to that movie. I didn't go. Yes, my fault. But, I could write great essays on the other four plays. Whyyyy did I get stuck with Hamlet? I am not college material. I have a 3.5. But it's going to dwindle this semester. Becuase I am going nuts. I'm amazed I still have hair left. I literally just sat at the piano and banged random chords that should never be paired together in very quick succession to release frustration. Edit: I feel better now. I'm fine. I'm cooled down. Ignore the above. I'm leaving it here to remind myself how crazy I get when I stress. |

So after rehearsal it was about 6 so the school was basically empty besides me and my friends walking out. I went in the middle of my school's rotunda (which has the world's best acoustics ev-ahr!) and wail out this crazy loud high f to break the silence. This may have been one of the most epic occurances (sp) to date.

I decided sometime soon I want to do a cabaret of just Disney songs. I've already started planning a set list, even though I have no idea if/when it would happen. I definitely want to do When She Loved Me from Toy Story 2 because it is one of the most beautiful/sad songs I've ever heard, and it doesn't get nearly enough love. | ||||||

I am so upset and angry.
My brother just dropped something on my Macbook, the screen is totally messed up. I'm really, really upset. This is the only thing that is really mine, my parents didn't pay for it, it wasn't a gift, it's mine. He's bringing it to the Apple store tomorrow. My warranty is no longer valid. He does not have the money currently to replace or repair it. Fortunately, the computer is still operating. I'm on it right now, the screen is just f***ed. |
||||||
| Beagle On Stage |
Sorry to hear that, Laurel. I had something similar happen to a "big purchase" item of my own. It's a really crappy feeling when your stuff gets damaged and there's nothing to be done because the person who did it can't pay for it. It's like, "Well now what the hell do I do?" | ||||||
| SmallTownIngenue |
I'm sorry Laurel, that seriously blows. I know what it's like to have brothers break/mess up your things. I hope you will get it fixed somehow. |
||||||

It sucks!
I've already instructed him on what to say to the people at the Apple store. I've heard stories of the kind people at the Apple store giving free or severely discounted repairs to very sympathetic stories. |

If you have a cute beagle available, now is the time to leash him up and bring him along. They have big sad eyes.
EDIT: I guess the expression "cute beagle" is a little redundant. |

Laurel who are you in, or what are you involved in with 1940's Radio Hour? I played Wally when I was 16 | ||||||

They actually created a character for me because of my physical comedy during an improv at callbacks. I'm a character named "Bette", who they've imagined as the right hand man of Stanley (and in a twist at the end we will be revealed as a sweet couple by leaving together). Basically I'm the inept, clumsy maintenance gal. |
||||||
| jackissensational |
I've never gone to them for repairs, but everytime I've encountered Apple store employees, they've been douches.
And Maggie, I love your Disney cabaret idea! It just sounds really fun for starters, but you are the perfect person for it! |
||||||
| SmallTownIngenue |
Aww thanks Jack! I think I want to plan it for this coming summer, since I will more than likely be at home and I already have a perfect venue that I did my senior recital in. Of course I will have the usual "princess" fare, but I want to do some lesser known/less recognized gems as well. I'm excited! And one of my good friend's loves re-arranging music so I might experiment with that as well. |

Really? I've been several times to the Apple store when I've had problems with my iPods over the years, and they've been nothing but nice and helpful. |

Watching Glee for the first time.

"I'm up ev'ry morning at six
And standing in line With two hundred girls Who are younger and thinner than me Who have already been to the gym. I'm waiting five hours in line, And watching the girls Just coming and going In dresses that look just like this, 'Til my number is finally called. When I walk in the room, There's a table of men-- Always men, usually gay-- Who've been sitting, like I have, And listening all day To two hundred girls Belting as high as they can!"
