Quote of the day: “I’ll be going back to work soon…I’ve just broken my ankle…you really couldn’t care less, could you?” –One of my oh-so-interesting surveys last night 🙂
I don’t know how the days manage to fly by without me getting time to do an entry in here…not that there’s all that much to say, anyway! 🙂 I start exams next week, so I’ve been spending most of my time either studying or feeling guilty that I’m not studying. Or working, of course. Trying to do the impossible and earn enough money to get me to New York. I really don’t know what I’m going to do. I accepted the position, but I still have no idea how I’m gonna make it happen! I have to get a break soon though. I’ve had too much go wrong already…it’s only fair that something go my way for once! 🙂
Let’s see…I was invited out to parties both last night and tonight, but due to studying and lack of cash, I didn’t go to either of them. I did, however, go to karaoke on Wednesday night with the Little Shop people…only hardly any of them showed up! So, because I didn’t know most of the people there, I actually sang a song by myself! 🙂 I sang “Leaving on a Jet Plane”, even though I didn’t know the tune that well, but I think it went okay. I better stop before I get addicted to this karaoke stuff. 🙂
Speaking of the Little Shop people, we had our awards ceremony on Tuesday night…I didn’t win anything, but I did get an honourable mention! I don’t know if that’s a good thing, though, once you consider the category. 🙂 It was for “best performance at a cast party”…I’ll let you draw your conclusions from there. 🙂 It was, however, still a really fun night. I miss all those people so much! I really miss rehearsal and just hanging out with everyone. It really sucks that we didn’t all start getting really close until the last couple of weeks of rehearsal, and then it was all over so fast! And, as much as I don’t want to, I know that I’m going to lose touch with most of them if I go away for the summer. Hopefully I can be in the show next year though, whatever they do.
I’m listening to the Broadway recording of Pimpernel right now…it’s been so long since I listened to the old show! *sigh* I miss Terrence. 🙂 I just had a big conversation tonight with Karen and Lindsey about the good and bad things about each version of the show, and the conclusion I was left with is that I’m really rather afraid to see what they do to it now! 🙂 And I won’t comment on the whole Equity thing right now other than to say that I feel really bad for the people who are really committed to the show and to the original vision of the piece, who won’t be able to be involved with it anymore.
My room is such a mess right now. For some reason, every year before exams it becomes the biggest disaster area, and then I spend all this time cleaning it up when I should be studying! But so far I haven’t even got to the cleaning stage. Tomorrow, I promise. After work. And after I call home. And maybe after The Simpsons. 🙂
Ayway, I’m absolutely exhausted for some reason, so I better get to sleep if I plan to make it to work on time. Good night!
