Longest Best Most Intense Week Ever

So this week is tech week for the festival play. Fondly referred to as H E double hockey sticks (pardon if I've offended everyone), it is the biggest rehearsal week right before the first show. I'm talking at school until ten o'clock, I never seen the sun, and all I can talk about is theater. Sound horrible?

On some level it is horrible, I'm up late every night doing my homework (witness the time of this post) and I don't do any socializing outside of rehearsal...

But at the same time this is the most fun I've ever had! We are a super tight cast, I honestly love everyone! It's fun and exciting and scary and overwhelming all at the same time. Rather than school being the main event of the day, school is that place you go before the real day begins. And it is a long day. But we laugh, we act, we cry, we ice my knees, I get picked up put down, kissed, spun around, laughed at, hugged, sad, happy, excited, scared out of my mind...

So yes, I'm tired, I can't remember the last time I was out of the school before it was dark, and I'd really like to see my friends... but it is so worth it.

Random Musings of a Blocked Writer

The last couple of weeks I've had writer's block. Maybe it's because I've been so busy or because It's not so much that I can't write, as it is that while I can, I just don't feel like it as much. I hate this feeling. But I also know not to push it. It'll come back when it comes back and until then I can write little filler pieces and I can get through my lit homework (wow, that's the second time in two posts I've mentioned lit homework). So enjoy another random compilation, this time of the time-wasters I've been filling my time with!

Facebook... the biggest time waster of 'em all.
Pride and Prejudice... A wonderful book!
Rehearsing... Technically not a time waster- but very intense!
Rereading... All those books you read when you're little are better the second time around.
Bad tv... It's just relaxing at the end of the day.
Thinking... Not doing anything is sometimes the most productive of all.
Doodling... I can't draw, but I wish I could. So I doodle to make up for it.

Thanks for the reminder....

Thank you for reminding me to post here!
I've been crazy busy with this drama festival play (does anyone else make a competition of a high school?) and then I got sick (which I still am) and something just always comes up... But I can delay the lit homework for a little bit to give an update... (these are some general thank yous)
Thank you for change!
I know I already talked about the inauguration but it warms my heart to see some of the changes
President (so great to finally say that) Obama has been making. A couple of days into his presidency my mum was near tears at breakfast because he ordered Guantanamo Bay to be closed
Thank you for reminding me that somethings really do happen like the movies... sort of.
Have you seen Madeline? The live-action version is absolutely adorable. Remember how she has to get her appendix out? Well, today the same thing happened to my friend. Get well soon!
Thank you for reminding me how much I love it here!
A certain homophobic church group is coming to protest my school's Gay-Straight Alliance, Project 10 East. So the student body is holding an anti-protest protest, which the city is completely supportive of!
Thank you for all the spectacular people in my life!
Not a day goes by that I'm not glad to know the people I do!
