| I guess I'll post about my trip since I have nothing else to do:
I saw Julia Roberts. That was fun. I didn't have a camera with me but I think some other people got some pictures of her if you wanna check their facebooks. Just go to my friend list and figure it out. I'm not sure if anybody's posted their pictures yet, though.
I also saw Amy Poehler from SNL and Seth Meyers from SNL. We went to the Upright Citizen's Brigade and they were there along with a lot of the people from VH1's Best Week Ever.
Saw Rent. Again. Saw Avenue Q. Again. Saw Blue Man Group. Wasn't impressed.
Went the the Ukranian Museum with my teacher. (I figured, "why not?")
Went to the Met for the first time. I definately like the MoMA better.
We stayed in the butt crack of Manhattan. Waaaay downtown, below Wall St. We might as well have been directly on the Staten Island Ferry. But our hotel was nice...
Saw my first Off-Off Broadway play... "At Said". It was interesting, very avant garde, if there were a genre called play noir this play would be it. Nobody else liked it but me. I thought it had an interesting view on certain things... It was made even neater by the fact that it was at Performance Space 122. A lot of interesting things in film and theatre have happened there.
Went to the Neighborhood Playhouse (where Diane Keaton, Sydney Pollock, and a million other people trained.) This was actually one of the coolest experiences just because of the teachers and people we met. I felt like I was in my element.
Bought Final Draft (if you don't know what this is, don't worry about it) and I am OBSESSED!
Bought a lot of other stuff. Shopping in SoHo, Greenwhich, 5th Avenue, all the other places.
Experienced Morgan's Subway Dance first-hand.
Discussed the importance of cheese and peanut-butter and popcorn.
I'm sure there was other stuff that I'm leaving out. Oh well.

| Everyone go to Years To Your Health downtown (right next to Main Attraction.)
Coolest
Store
Ever... | | |
| Because of "good account behavior" my credit limit has been upped from $250 to $1250. Smell that!
It seemed worth posting...
So I completely forgot that I DON'T GET A BREAK! My last exam is on Thursday, and then my New York class starts next Monday. God... I forgot it was so soon. So next week I'll still be in Oxford, then it's back to NY on the 21st. I'm excited about the class though plus I'm a huge fan of any class in which I can get 3 hours for 2 weeks. Can we say "Fuck yeah!!"?
Okay, so I started writing this ten minute play for my NYU application and it's really good (I think) so I decided to enter it in the Tallahatchie River Festival drama competition (kinda like the Gum Tree writing competition, only it's New Albany) and if you win the Tallahatchie River Players put on a production. The only problem is that the TRF rules only want one act plays and I'm havin' a damn hard time expanding this bitch from ten minutes to one act. I'm too afraid to dilute it or something... the deadline is June 30th so I've got about a month and a half. I just want to see one of my plays produced... how cool would that be.
I aced my Art Hist exam! I have a 100 average in my Liba class! I don't know any of my other averages!

| So I go in to my math lecture and proceed to my usual seat. When I get there I find a lone sheet of paper lying on the desktop so I pick it up to throw it away. When I take a closer look at it I see the title: Typical Gang Initiation Methods. My interest peaked. Now, I really hope that this paper was left by a criminology student or someone studying along those lines. I really hope it wasn't for general interest, because that would be scary. Except for me... I'm always interested in such things and since I thought you might be too, here are the Typical Gang Initiation Methods:
1. INITIATION BY COP: The means to kill a police officer. However, it is rarely done today.
2. BEING JUMPED IN OR BEATEN IN: This means having to fight a certain number of gang members for a given period of time and being able to take the beating and fight back.
3. SEXED IN: Used to initiate females into male-dominated gangs, where the initiate provides sexual services for one or more gang members (many known to have HIV).
4. JACKED IN: Commit a theft or larceny.
5. THE LINE, LINED IN, OR THE GAUNTLET: The person being initiated either stands in the middle of a circle and must fight his or her way out, or must run between two lines of gang members. The person is meant to remain on his/her feet until the end.
6. DRIVE BY SHOOTING: Do a drive by shooting to whomever the gang assigns you to.
7. RUSSIAN ROULETTE: Play Russian roulette and win. This involves loading a revolver with one bullet and spinning the cylinder and firing, not knowing where the bullet is.
8. BLOOD IN, BLOOD OUT: Blood in- commit a gang assigned murder to join the gang. Blood out- commit a murder to leave the gang.
9. CATCHING A RAG OR CATCHING A FLAG: Fighting through a group of gang members in order to grab a rag or flag which has been placed on the other side.
10. CIRCLED IN: Fighting through to the center of a circle of gang members.
11. COURTED IN: Being invited in, as are some doctors, lawyers or electricians.
12. DEEDED IN: Having sex with a female or male who has an STD and not getting it.
13. FREEIN' HOOVER: Picking up six pennies which have been thrown on the ground while being physically assaulted by several gang members. When all six pennies have been gathered it stops.
14. PUNCHED IN: Being hit once in the sternum.
Yay! Have a nice day!
