Ok, time to write a new entry to tell everyone who reads this ( no one, LoL) about how my life has been these past couple ( two ) weeks. To tell you the truth,they've been AWE-some!
The week proceeding my arrival in New Jersey I was occupied by the play "Parlor Games" in which I co-starred as Harley Allenbrand; an eccentric handyman/ inventor who is old but has a lot of edge, think the old guy from Back to the Future, but now a scientist....that was me. LoL
Well the play was AMAZING! The 30-40 people who came enjoyed it so much that I think they wished that they saw it again, it was that funny. And some of it was due to me and my little friend named improv. Never before had I managed to make an audience react like that, not that I don't think I would be amazing in a drama, but comedy is so much f-ing fun!
Althoght there are those who act on stage in a comedic play, but have sticks up their assholes, and they need to never do improv because they don't get the randomness yet, hilarity of improv. I mean it's like we mean it! So GET OVER IT ALREADY!
These were the thoughts that I harboured the next week. On tuesday the money that Kerri sent for Nora and my birthday ( ten days early, I may add) arrived in cash. So naturally I went to F.Y.E and spent $74.60 on the following: Moulin Rouge- Special Edition DVD, TOOL: 10,000 Steps, Spice Girls: Spice and Spiceworld & new Headphones. I got the new TOOL cd for Noras birthday.
On Friday Mom, Mike, Nora and I piled into the car at 3 in the morning and drove down to Florida for Georgia's ( my big sis) graduation from J.U. It took us 15 hrs to drive down six states to go to my sisters graduation the next day, and then drive back at 3 on Sunday morning. Although it's weird, this trip has given me closure. It reminded me so much of my moving from Austin to Audubon and what it represented, a change in myself. Moving is one of the weirdest things anyone can ever go through and to go back to the south was amazing. I had so many memories just flood back.
So what am I doing now...I'm drunk with Georgia, John ( her fiancee), Mike, Nora, Allan (their friend, not my dad) and Shayee (Allan and Johns friend), off of Jagermiester (1 1/2 shots ) and two, count it 2 Bud lights, and I am drunk and completely disconnected...waiting to pile back into a van and drive back to Jersey. WoW!
In other news, on Saturday I wrote a critique called "Mirror Boys" which is either a). self righteous and condescending or b). true and worthy of publication. I know it was completely filled with toxic ammounts of self observation and empathy and could be seen as the writing of a depresses, still-virginal, Gay teenager, but I was proud of writing it. I was proud that I filtered my thoughts to help benefit my gay brothers, whom I dearly, but criticize with love in my heart.
My dad is in town but could not stay for the party because there would be alcohol, poor daddy- I love him so, and tore the legaments in his leg ( OUCH!!!) and has to have crutches.
My birthday is in 6 days! |
