| "It's the bitch of living....""And knowing this is it"
--Spring Awakening
Some enchanted evening is KILLING me! I had no idea Rogers and Hammerstein were so frickin' hard! I've also never been in a show without lines before and it is WEIRD! But also, I'm singing all these songs about love and I just wonder if I could ever be like that. Soft, vulnerable, and thinking love is everything. That doesn't SOUND like me, or a person I would want to be, but maybe I don't want to be that to cover up the fact that I can't. I just CAN'T. Is that weird? All things considered I have a pretty awesome thing going. I have a good summer theater sched. I'm poor, but not AS poor. I'm eating better and getting exercise. I have great friends (a pretty great boyfriend included). It's not like I'm alone. It's not like I'm having problems. I wonder if I'll just always be kinda cold and noncommittal. And for the first time ever I'm hoping I'm not. Because maybe then I could sing one of R & H's love songs with the crazy intervals and weird harmonies and actually mean it. Or at least, know what it means. Also, when I'm getting inspiration for my songs, I don't think about my boyf. I think about past things. Granted, their sad songs of loss, but is that weird??? Am I weird????!!!!
I need to be done with this musical stuff and get back to make-up where I belong ASAP. It's really messing with my head!

Q) How many boyfriends/girlfriends have you had?
A) since high school......about 7 boyfriends....but I have TONS of girlfriends!
Q) What were your high school colors?
A) Blue and white....we were the blu-jays, the sissiest mascot ever, and we didn't even SPELL it correctly!
Q) How do you feel about PDA?
A) I'm not a huge fan. I like people to know I am my own person and not weird them out by dry-humping my boyf, but I do like to be affectionate, just not overly so
Q) How many tickets -if any- have you gotten?
A) I got one when I was sixteen for speeding, and two my soph year of college for being a shitty driver

A) I love my family! I couldn't get by without my momma, and I don't mean just financially either, we are a team.

A) I can't walk in them. They're uncomfortable and I'm clumsy. Heels have an appropriate place and time, but not over high ones. Mainly I'm a flats kinda girl.
Q) How do you feel about the tattoos known as tramp stamps?
A) Everybody has them, they're kitsch.
Q) How do you feel about tattoos in general?
A) I don't think I could ever love something besides myself long enough to put it on my body forever, and getting a tattoo of me or my name is a little vain....and I would change my mind about the design and hate it, so the most I could ever do would be henna. However, I think tattooing is an art form and people that can really rock their tattoos are endlessly cool to me.
Q) Do you like piercings?
A) I do indeed. I have a few....but nothing in excess.
Q) Which ones your favorite?
A) My favorite is my nose piercing, on guys a lip ring drives me crazy (in the good way)

A) No, I think it's tacky....literally and figuratively.
Q) Do you even know how many colors of duct tape they have?
A) No, does it matter?
Q) Do you like sharpies?
A) We have sharpies around our house in case an awesome quote is said and needs to go on the quote board, but other than that I don't really use them.
Q) How do you feel about loud people in the library?
A) Our library only has one quiet zone, so I don't really mind, but you should never be obnoxiously loud no matter where you are...not cool...
Q) What is your favorite holiday?
A) Halloween, I mean, were you AT the Halloween Party me and my roomies threw this year?!
Q) At Christmas, do you prefer giving or getting?
A) Everyone likes getting of course, but I'm one of the few people that LOVES Christmas mainly for picking out presents for people. I like to think I have really great taste and I am known for giving awesome presents. It makes me really happy to give presents to others, if I had an unlimited budget my gifts would be INSANE!
Q) How many hours of exercise do you get in a week?
A) Depends on how busy my week is. But I usually get at least a couple hours walking to class, and every semester I take a fitness course that interests me.
Q) What kind of exercise do you do?
A) I walk, like I said, I lift weights, and I LOVE yoga.
Q) How do you feel about people that label themselves?

Q) Is there anyone you are holding a grudge against?
A) Nope, there's no point. It does more harm to me than them.
Q) Is there anyone holding a grudge against you?
A) Who knows, who cares?
Q) Are you a bad person?
A) No, but most people are essentially good. We just hear more about the bad ones.
Q) Do you hate or love life?
A) I'm living the dream!
Q) Do you take advantage of everyday?
A) No, but I 'm doing what I want to be doing, while working toward doing what I want to be doing for the rest of my life, which is pretty cool.
Q) Do you treat others as you would like to be treated?
A) Is there any other way to treat people? Sure, I don't always succeed, but I try.
Q) Do you have morals?
A) I may not have the morals of conservative society, but I have a strong set of morals that allow me to enjoy my life without guilt and still be a positive and productive human being.
Q) If you were 12 and you could see yourself now, would you be dissappointed?
A) Yeah, I would, but my life has changed in ways I never saw coming.
Q) Do you like Paris Hilton?
A) Paris Hilton is a poster child for the downfall of our society and the poor example for young girls. All you really need in life is lots of money, no work ethic, no career, and to look pretty at any cost??? That disgusts me.
Q) Do you like Nicole Richie?
A) She's just as bad.
Q) Do you like Tom Cruise?
A) He's not a bad actor, but him and Mel Gibson have gone a little religion whacky.

--Kimya Dawson
Wow! I haven't posted on here in FOREVER, but I'm still alive, never fear. I'm not "lying dead in a ditch with syphillis," as my friend Julie likes to say, and even though I don't post or comment much, I do still read other people's updates, so...
Anyway, things are good. I'm really....happy. Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me either.
"Woman in Black," went AWESOME in my opinion, and the respondent liked my make-up design, so that was cool. I put a lot of hard work and I'm glad for the (sorta) break but I'll miss the super-fun pre-show times.
Right now I'm directing a scene, in a scene, working on some stuff that is due this week, and gearing up for "Shakespeare in Hollywood," and summer theater auditions. Thank God spring break is soon!
Well, that's all for now. I have some research I need to do before rehearsal, so...later.

| All dressed up and no place to go...I'm bored here in Emporia. Not your normal kind of bored, but the agonizing kind. I mean, there are things I could (and will) do, like mail my bills, write a letter to my dad, look for 2 more monologues, memorize 4 monologues and 2 scenes, maybe go to the thrift store, work on my make-up design, and eat; and things I could (and won't) do, like clean the house and my room. My bedroom floor is an urban legend.
At least this weekend will be fun when we go to Steph's wedding and then I go and hang out with Heather!!!! Hooray!!! I'm psyched to see Heather's place and hit the town with her!
Lindsay and I were abandoned last night. All the people we were supposed to hang out with were gone or doing something else. It sucked.
Two weeks until school starts and I have loads of stuff to do but hardly any of it sounds fun....poop.
I fell asleep last night on my couch reading a play. It was a good play, but I'm still in last night's clothes, boots and all. I think maybe I'll take a shower after I take Pete to work.
