Whew.

I'm alive, I promise.

Well, sort of.

I just got out of my British Lit midterm, and I'm definitely skipping my Speech class today, and I just realized it was Thursday and that I totally one hundred percent didn't even remember to think about posting last week and I feel terrible.

In my defense, last thursday was opening night, one of my best friends from home was here, and I had tons of philosophy reading to do so I wouldn't fail the quiz on Friday. Not to mention I was exhausted from 4 dress rehearsals and a performance 5 days in a row. So yeah. Please forgive me.

Tonight is the last night of Company, and while I've had SO much fun doing it, I'm pretty glad its almost over. I've got next Monday and Tuesday off for Fall Break, so I'm going back to my parents' for a few days to...well...sleep. And then as soon as I come back I start rehearsals for the next show we're doing! Woohoo! Such is the life of theatre.

I'm actually REALLY excited about this next show, though. Its called Eclipsed, its an Irish play about where they imprisoned women who had kids out of wedlock in laundries to work for the rest of their lives. Its pretty intense. I'm playing this girl Mandy who is rather mentally unstable and has delusioned herself into thinking that Elvis is in love with her [since this takes place in the late 60s, I think.] So yeah. It should be interesting, especially since I have to learn how to do an Irish accent. Yikes.

Okay...moving on to...questions!

Palin/Biden: Well. First of all I despise Sarah Palin with my entire being. I think she's an absolute idiot, to make a long story short. My hands are just too tired from essay-writing to type out my whole rant on her. As for Biden, I'm not impressed, of course, but at least I can tolerate him.

Gay Marriage: I am absolutely for. There's no reason gay couples shouldn't be allowed the same marriage rights as every other couple. Civil unions do not give all the same legal rights as marriage, and its just ridiculous.

Nail Polish Color: I totally think there should be a line of Clue inspired nail polish. Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mr. Green...you know it would be brilliant.

Obscure-ish bands: [whips out Paste cds] The Republic Tigers, Spoon[although they're not that obscure anymore], Architecture in Helsinki, Band Marino, Emerson Hart, Johnossi, Nick Cave, Okkervil River, Rob Dougan, Sigur Ros, The Black Keys, Madeline Peyroux. Hopefully there's at least one thing in there you can all find that you like. :) I live for introducing people to new music.

Okay, well, I'm sorry I'm terribly busy all the time. I'm trying to keep up as much as possible, and I love you all.

And now its naptime.

The black keys are moi bueno. I'll have to look into the rest though. I'm not familiar with them.

Good luck with the accent. I learned to do a Russian one from youtube. Silly I know, but it worked.

The play sounds really fun =]
I wish I could speak in accents.
