Lost's on in fifteen minutes SQUEE!

I haven't posted in a very long time, because of several time-consuming activities.  One of them is drama (which is, at the moment, filled with drama and asshats. Expect a rant on that in the near future), and when I get home from drama, I have my shows (I never miss my shows. If I'm not home, I tape them.), and, the past two nights...STAGE COMBAT!  We finally did something COOL with Drama Club...a guy from a local professional company came and did a brief workshop in stage combat.  We learned front and back falls, slaps, hair-pulling, punches, elbow jabs...it was totally sweet.  We're trying to see if we could do another, longer course, and that would make me crazy with glee.  My one regret is that we didn't get to play with swords, but apparently you have to train for weeks before they let you actually use a sword. T.T

Tonight was the Academic Awards banquet, which is boring and sucks.  If the school *really* valued my academic achievement, they would give me candy and then let me leave.  And since I'm in NHS, I had to set up AND serve fruit.  Dude.  Aren't I supposed to be smart?  Don't we have stupid people to do the menial labor?  .......Mostly kidding.

Oh well, oh well, oh well.  I want to write, and don't have time.  I finished American Gods (AWESOME) and started The Time-Traveler's Wife on a lovely person's recommendation.  It's good so far.  Senior Ball is coming up, and if I want to ask someone, I have to mobilize.  I have an idea on who I can ask, but I'm not sure if I will.  We shall see what we shall see.

Rrgh.  The drama thing is really pissing me off, so it will get it's own entry later.  Happy Lostnesday to all!

I now officially know my home is a proper American household, controlled by the commands of the idiot box.  My dad is at the Sports Show with a friend right now, and what does he say before he leaves?

"I'll be home at Lost time."  Hee. ^_^

Didn't post yesterday, because I bought Casino Royale, and I needed me some James Bond.  No time for LJ when there are sexy secret agents to be ogled! Huzzah!

Night of Drama is coming up crazy fast, and I'm kind of really really worried about it.  I mean, it's all just kind of a vague "oh, and then we should do this...and then maybe this" and it hasn't seemed to set in with anyone else that this thing is ONE WEEK AWAY and we haven't actually rehearsed anything. Ever. At all. >.<

I found a ficbuddy who I'm ranting to about my epic which will never actually get written I'm hoping to start soon.  I've also decided to skip the chapter that's giving me trouble, go on to the next one I had planned, and shove this one in later if I really need it (which I probably don't.)  Also, I had an awesome brainstorm for a short piece I'm doing for a scholarship...it's an idea I'd had before but discarded because I didn't think I'd be able to get a full story out of it.  So I was sitting in Focus zoning focusing, when lightning bolt!  If it's not enough for me to do a full length piece on...why not make it into a short piece? Huzzah!!

Really glad Bones is coming back (Angel! I missed you!) and I'm always excited for Lost.  On the book-front: I finished Devil in the White City today.  I really enjoyed it...everyone told me that the architecture bits get really boring but...I kept waiting for a really long, boring architecture part and I finished the book, so either it was so boring I've blocked it from my mind, or...I just didn't find it dull.  But I'm a huge history nerd, and the whole thing kind of thrilled me, since it was in Chicago, my hometown (represent, y'all!).  I started reading Fragile Things, which is a collection of short stories by Neil Gaiman, who I love to absolute death.  I'm about halfway through it, and I've enjoyed most of the stories immensely, and all of the stories a lot.

Subs for dinner w00t!

I haven't posted in forever.  Things have been crazy busy in a way that's...not.  That makes no sense, I know, but...it's like, I haven't been *doing* much of anything, but I never seem to have a spare moment to get on here.  It's odd.  I've actually been online a decent amount of time (not in the last week, but in the past month, definitely) but I've just been reading porn doing other stuff.  But I keep thinking "oh, I'll post that on LJ" and then don't.  So, in the interest of time and space, I present: INFODUMP 2007!

1. I got my wisdom teeth out. Stitches in mouth = not cool.  My mother withheld my painkillers from me because the surgeon said they were habit forming.  Quick quiz, Mom: What are painkillers for? People who are IN PAIN.  I'm not going to develop a crippling narcotics addiction over the span of TWO DAYS so givememyfuckingvicodin! Urgh.

2. The play went well (yay), everyone loved it (yay), it's been said that it's the best play my school has EVER put on (yay) AND that it was like a show at the Rep (the city's major professional theatre group) (YAY)

3. Musical rehearsals have started.  It's The Music Man (I'm a townsperson. w00t), and it seems like it's going to be pretty sweet, IF everyone can get off their collective slacking buttocks and FOCUS

4. My eyes kind of hurt.

5. I'm struggling to get back into writing with my HP slashbaby (not involving actual mpreg cuz...that creeps me out), my prospective RE fic, and, of course, my ever lurking original work. Zoinks.

6. I'm *really* liking this tv season, even though my shows are ALWAYS on hiatus.  And they all go at once.  It's not like one will be off for a couple of weeks, and then another, no. They're all gone at the same time.  Which has led me to fill the void in my life with Wicked, Wicked Games, the trashiest of soap operas which is (horrors) on every single weeknight BUT is ending next weekzomg.  But, seriously.  House has been pretty cool. (Maybe that's why my mom doesn't want me to have my Vicodin.  Being like House wouldn't be so bad.  I could be clever and scruffy and have the two hottest doctors in the hospital in love with me.)  Bones has been fun, and it's hard to believe that the very first episode was so. bad.  It was just dull and blah.  But now it's cool...although I am broken up inside that they killed my serial killer.  I love serial killers.  And I had a real soft spot for this one, because his first episode was the one that got me into the show. *tear* RIP, honey.  Supernatural has been *AMAZING* and funny and Wincestous.  Lost is, always, fabutastic (SO. GLAD. it's back).

I think that's it.  I should go write.  Or read more wincest... I think I'm going to get a new moodtheme.
