Fear the Infector

Today I feel sick. Thanks to my sister, who stole a sip of my Pepsi the other day without my knowing. She, by the way, got sick from my other sister, who likes to lick people.
It's a viral loop! AHH!
Let's see... What's been happening lately? Oh, we had auditions for Aldous Huxley's Brave New World on the 8th and 9th, and that was pretty fun because Blazi (our director) brought her baby along and between reading we would all sit on the auditorium floor and play with her. Cutest. Infant. EVAR! She's going to be in the play, as well. She play's the baby (surprise surprise) of Young Mother, and basically just gets carried from one side of the stage to the other. Hah, Abby's big break!
Anyway, I didn't get the part I wanted, which was Fanny, but I did at least get a speaking role, and I'm not the kind of person like some people in the show who whine about getting "crappy parts." I got Dr. Shaw, which technically is a guy part. In reality though, and since there are always less guys at auditions than girls, the gender of this role is in no way important to the show and by changing one word I say in the dialogue it's works out quite well. And really I'm lucky because I don't have as many rehearsal days as I would have if I got the other role, and with less lines to memorize that means I can also work on memorizing the other lines I have for totally unrelated student directed scenes for my Drama class, of which I have many. Plus a scene of my own to direct, which I have never done before, and am nervous about. Eep. Our group is doing scenes from Frogs, which is a Greek play. It seems pretty interesting.
In my Photo class we have to get out and take a bunch of landscape photos. I'm pretty excited about that, too, because it means I finally get to use my fancy Sears KS2 camera that my dad got me. And I love photographing nature. I forsee a beach trip.

Today is an extrodinarily lazy day. I woke up at around noon, ate a brownie with milk for breakfast then went and layed down with my mom in her room and watched Sleepless in Seattle and Failure to Launch. And then I remembered it was Saturday. And here I am, sneezing and drinking root beer.

Philosophy: Having gone to a Catholic school for 9 years of my life, though I myself am not religious by any means, I must say that there was one value that stuck with me and made sense. That, basically is the "Golden Rule," Do unto others as they would do unto you. Or however they worded it on that ruler they passed out the first day of third grade. It makes sense. Treat other people like people and don't be a jerk, because chances are you like being treated as a person and having people not behave as jerks towards you. Also, as I have come to witness from being a high school student, whenever I meet someone new and don't really have much of an opinion developed about them, but otherwise find them to be a decent person, I generally have no reason to judge them and want to be friends with them. Because, let's face it, I like people, I like knowing people, I like making friends. But when I meet someone and mention them to one of my friends in passing, and when they know them and have some kind of poor opinon of them and proceed to enlighten me on said opinion, I don't really pay attention. Reading baco on that it doesn't really make sense how I worded that. Here's an example:
There's this guy who's in the BNW play with me who I sort of started chatting with. I ran into him a few times and we chat, and he's into filmmaking and asked if I'd like to be in a movie he's working on just for fun, and I said sure, when let me see the scrips and stuff when you're done and he's all like cool. Lunch happens by and I mention to my friend about it and she tells me that she hates the guy and he's weird and blah blah whatever, negativity. But really, I didn't pay much mind to it because so far, I don't have any reason to dislike the guy as a person, though she may. I know some people who would take that and be like "oh he's a weirdo or something so I shouldn't be friends with him" but I say until I'm wronged, we're cool. So really I have a couple friends who aren't friends with my other friends. It's weird. But yeah.

Eh, I'm really out of sorts today :/ I miss my boyfriend. Ehhhhh.
Well, I'm going to end the blog here... I hope I didn't miss a challenge or anything. I remembered the one on philosophy. If I forgot one, I'll accept a punishment. Not a problem.
I'm off to find some Ricola. Bye, loves. Don't get sick.
