"I don't even feel like a person."
"...Maybe you're a cat."
Heh.

Dude, The Fisher King is awesome. Plus, it references just about every Robin Williams movie ever, so you feel cool. And if you're in an Arthurian myth class/just know the Arthuriad and laugh at it hysterically. Or, you know, cry, because it goes from hilarious to tragic and difficult to watch, and back and forth between those two every few seconds. Pretty sweet. One thing, though: I didn't really like Lydia as much as I felt I needed to to get the story. They tried, but it didn't quite work for me. Though the speech Parry makes to her is gorgeous and lovely and my god I think I have a celebrity crush on Robin Williams for that speech. And it's not on imdb memorable quotes. I have a mission!
I need to sleep. Way too much to do this weekend. At least our run through went pretty well; I mean, the director had ample opportunity to just firmly say, "Sarah, you need to work harder, this just isn't working." Unless she's realized how insecure I am and is afraid that telling me I fail is gonna make it worse. Which is probably would, but at least it would be better than wondering if she regrets casting me. Even though she said she didn't, but that was about a month ago, so it might have changed since then. I'm making small improvements, but I know I need more. I want to do this well so badly...
And I need sleep. And I think I'm gonna go watch a play at midnight tomorrow. Do I make sense? Nope! Love!

So Book of Days is sold out, and La Boheme is sold out (which, you know, is okay because I've already seen a good production of it, but I'm still bummed). I can go wait in stand-by lines, but I'm wondering if maybe this is a blessing in disguise, considering how much work I have to do this weekend. I think I'm still gonna get the movie for 112 and watch it tonight, just in case I decide to try and get into the shows tomorrow and actually succeed (I know I'll try for BoD, not sure for La Boheme). That way, if I miraculously get in, I don't have to think twice because I will have gotten something done. In fact, I think I'm just gonna keep working through my day as if this weekend were going to be super busy. Good plan, right? Yeah, I think so.
I don't even know why I'm so down about this. Grr. I guess it's just because I'd basically only left free time for myself this weekend to see shows, and now I feel obligated to make that free time homework time. I mean, I'm still seeing two shows (or at least one, that I already have a ticket to), so it's not like I get no theatre, and there's one more Met Opera show this year that I think I will go ahead and RSVP for, like, now. And honestly, I've already seen an amazing Lanford Wilson, though if I can get into BoD that'd be sweet.
Stalling? No. I'm gonna get to work now.

I had one of those embarrassment over how angsty I felt yesterday moments and privatized that epic entry, but thanks, Scott, Katie, and Marley. Your comments did make me feel better and I love you all. Gracias!

My eyes hurt from looking at lights too long. While focusing them. Or rather, while pushing the Genie lift for someone else to. Then I come home and find out I got accepted for the undergrad writing conference (yay!), only minus the part where my topic is really not super working out and this means I actually have NO life, as opposed to almost having no life. Minus this weekend, which shall be kickass, indeed.
Oh, and I'm totally off book. I love it when line memorization sneaks up on you without having to work hard for it. Heh.
My eyes hurt and rehearsal in 1.25 hours. Ciao.

I feel inspired. But, alas, no time!
Good break, for the most part. Lots of thoughts. I think I've been right though. Like, all of my random at-college-introspection seemed to hold up in test. Huzzah! Kinda. Love my family. My friends are sexy. I really need to do something productive so I can sleep tonight.
But I really wish I could be writing. Oh well, I already don't have rehearsal a couple nights this week, so I stand a chance of passing college. Super huzzah!
Happy Easter to you, if you celebrate it!

Mental condition: Stressed
Emotional condition: Pretty damn good
Physical condition: Oh god, I can barely stand up. Wouldn't an injury theoretically get better after a night of sleeping on it? I'm sore. Everywhere. I wonder if I seized up my muscles while I slept.
In other news, learning to love myself for who I am, as opposed to comparing myself to others. Should be good.
Cannot. Wait. For. Break. Yay!!!!

What's awesome: most things.
What's not: Our door, which randomly decides to not let me in using my ID card and which has never let Kerry in using her ID card. So Kerry has a real key, and when mine started sucking, I was like, "That's fine, I know they have two keys for each room." Only our second one is missing.
That's right; Kerry and I only have one key to our room between us. I. Hate. This. Lock.

12:57 pm - Psyche! Aka: Edit

Oh, and look at that, I'm really not upset anymore. Huzzah. Karen was chill.
So all of my woes can be summed up with this simple statement: I'm sick! Everything seems worse when you're sick! You require more sleep when you're sick, so even a reasonable amount of sleep isn't enough! And then your eyes hurt! A lot! And your stomach is like, "Hell, no, don't feed me girl!"
There. Mwahaha.

I am so writing a Sevenwaters fanfiction. I mean, I've actually written a lot, but this one I'm taking relatively seriously...the others were just for fun, or whims, or missing scenes. And they're not that good, but fun. I'm trying harder to actually imitate JM's writing style this time. Which - in light of what I'm doing to the story - is a little bit difficult...heh...
Edit: 9 pages, aka the first scene done. I actually really like it, which sounds completely vain. But I'm proud of myself. And I have about a million exciting directions I can go. Kinda. I totally simplified Sean forgiving her, but I'll make Aisling and her more dramatic, and keep adding moments of discomfort between everyone. But especially between the people I am going to have sooooo much fun playing with. Btw, I've also got an idea for a very unusual pairing rolling around in my head. Like, very unusual. And taboo. On a lot of levels. And just plain wrong. But it'd be funny.
That is all. Goodnight. Or perhaps it should be good morning. Lordy, I just quoted CotP. Specifically, I quoted Eamonn. I'm crazy. GREEN!

Did you know there was a song called "Mordred's Lullaby"? Did you know that it had the most wonderfully specific lyrics ever? Did you know there's a music video?
Now you do. I seriously just cracked up for 4 minutes. The song is actually kinda cool (it would fit well on the MoA soundtrack), but I'm still mostly just amused. Enjoy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, it's officially your birthday there and here, so it's extra special! I'd spend more time extolling your virtues, but I have class in 8 hours. But I love you so much and have a present idea that my mom thinks should be nice. It's kinda different than what I usually do, so I hope you don't mind. I hope you're having a fun time in Boston! Love! *sappy romantic music...oh! crap! You're not in NY right now! Abort! Abort!*
16 days!

...And I'm randomly feeling sad again. Where did my optimism go? It was hear like an hour ago.
Hopefully it's just because I have a paper to write and a midterm at 8am. Yeah. Let's go with that. I really don't have time to figure anything else out.

I want a new icon, but I don't know what. I feel like I ought to make one that's really cool and neat and significant.
...
Or I should write my paper and study for my midterm. Yeah. Maybe. Hmm.
Oh, I'm a light hanging/cabling queen today. Mwaha!

1) My mom is awesome.
2) I like working on ABHD.
3) Nightingale was fucked up in a really good way.
4) I have a paper due Monday afternoon, a midterm Tues morning, a paper Tues afternoon, a paper Wed morning, a paper proposal Thurs afternoon...I think, and a paper due Friday. Oh, plus I have another assignment due Tues I'd totally forgotten about. I don't know when I have rehearsal yet this week.
5) I'm feeling so inspired writing-wise...I really really really wanna write plays and fanfiction right now.
6) My imagination is living on several "what ifs" right now; no satisfaction guarenteed.
7) I need to do some article readings for Agamemnon, but I can't on this computer because it doesn't have Adobe Reader.
8) I'm starting to wonder who I really am and whether or not it's at all compatible with who I want to be. Quite terrified about this, actually. Anyone not afraid of a freaky phone call, let me know.
9) Other than that, I'm pretty emotionally happy in an in-the-moment way; I like how things are going right now. Immediate future? Kinda ignoring that.
Oh, but wait, this is amazing...this last one here, because it's not like I had enough to deal with already...
10) I am totally fucking sick again. My head is stuffy, I always have a headache, and I feel sick to my stomach whenever I eat.
I'm not sure how you can be very happy and very unhappy at the same time, but I think I'm managing. Woot.

Once again, mild irritation and sadness at completely irrelevant things has inspired plays. Well, okay, I'd actually already had the play idea. But now I've got something to go off of. I still don't know what the first scene should be, though. Grr...anyone up for being called at a completely random hour tomorrow (ie: between 9:30 and 10 or 12 and 1? haha) Of course, it's kinda a long story and complicated to explain...bleh...

STRESSED!!!!!!!!
And I went through a period of the day when I was very angry.
Then life basically turned around, I got my schedule figured out (well, minus homework...that's still not been factored in), I felt wanted and useful and I was thanked several times for my work by very busy people who didn't really have to do it. And then I come home and my mom had sent me an e-card (after she was the victim of my depressed-dial). So it's better. I mean, obviously, there are still a lot of things stressing me out, but some things are falling into place a little better than before. Woot? I might even work out JEP (and one of the other last minute additions is in it, so I don't feel awkward...)
Only problem? I have 100 pages to read and 2 pages of close reading to do on it before 10 am tomorrow. I need sleep, technically, I have class at 8am. I am ditching. Oops. Watch there be a quiz, but I need my fucking sleep. The end. At least it's not a class where they take attendence.
Yeah...so...work time!

After a long day of rehearsal...oh, well. A couple things about that. Kinda stressful for reasons I'm still not fully informed about, but it was fun. I felt useful, and we all went to lunch together, so it was like I was really a part of it. And everyone was being really funny. And I learned a really cool new characterization exercise.
Then I got to hang with Kristin! And her mom, who is also cool for taking a detour to have dinner with me. We went looking for Cheesecake Factory, but ended up at CPK instead (soooo good...waiter was so nice, good desserts, kiwi lemonade is surprisingly good). Got to go to Borders briefly too, which was fun for it's own sake, and because I got Blue Harvest. Yay!
Only bad thing about today really was that I realized we have a show during the Oscars. Well...kinda. I mean, the Oscars are at 5 and our show is 7 or 8. The current plan of the cast is to DVR it and then watch it after the show, which could be fun. I'm still gonna have my mom Tivo it. One two TVs. I can wait a few weeks to watch, but I am not missing the chance to watch the Oscars, especially with Amy Adams and Kristin Chenowith both performing.
Speaking of which, I miss Pushing Daisies. Is it coming back?
I love my mommy. She sent me presents. A new water bottle and clothes. Love her.
And Kristin! Who's tattoo is hot, btw. And we're soulmates, because we both have a distaste for oranges and cotton balls. Love!
