Christmas Presents
Sunday, February 09, 2003 @ 8:10 PM
So, what a strange weekend. Friday night, I watched A Goofy Movie (which I haven't seen since I took my brother to see it in the fifth grade) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (which I have practically memorized, and it's scary) with Dan, Donelle, and Jeff. We had supremely good times. I got about six hours of sleep, and then went to a super-surreal U-High Regionals. Congratulations to the entire Speech Team, even those of you who didn't do as well as you would have liked. It's better to compete and lose than to... have your Saturdays free. At least, this is the premise that my participation in Speech Team was based on... before they started paying me...
Saturday night, I went to Theatre of Ted for the first time this semester. Megan Hannah and I had a good time in the front row. There were a lot of boring skits, it was upsetting. People just went on and on and on. Augh! Oh, and I decided I was going to improv a little something about my experience with the chocolate vagina sales (see several posts below). I think it must have been funny, because people laughed. And it was short, which I think put it easilly a head above almost everything else. There was one amazing piece that Dan, Donelle, and Red missed because they left early (and they suck). It was a guy named Dennis, who did an incredibly stream-of-consciousness piece, while running in place and taking off various items of clothing. Because I was right in the front row, he got right up close to me and actually spoke about his reactions to feminism. "It makes me uncomfortable, and that's my problem. I know my kind has been on top for a long time, and the other 80% of the population is getting really pissed off..." I was a little bit blown away by his entire presentation. I would introduce myself to him if I thought we could have a conversation. But I know I'd be so intimidated that all I would do is listen. And that's fine for heroes, but I have enough of those already, I need friends.
Today, I skipped out on a choir concert. I went there and everything, but I was miserable, so I signed the attendance sheet and took off. I can't believe choir was supposed to be a fun class. Gah. What was I thinking? I don't even like choral music. It's always about God and the Bible and stuff, and I just can't get enthusiastic about that.
I set up a country at NationStates. It's called the Free Land of Shoeboxia. Their motto is "Never pay full price for late pizza." It's located in the North Pacific. "The Free Land of Shoeboxia is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million have excellent freedom... The large government concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Healthcare and Education are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 24%. A large private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, followed by Gambling and Pizza Delivery. Crime is relatively low. Shoeboxia's national animal is the penguin."
So far, the manuscript I'm writing for the U-High T.I. workshop is eleven pages long. And it's like, the tip of the iceberg. The more I write, the more I have to write. It borders on crazy. I'm working on it instead of doing homework. What does this say about me? Oh, and I haven't played The Sims since I got Lemmings Revolution. It's so satisfying. I want to buy it for people and give it to them as presents, except I can't afford to give people presents, unless they're made of yarn.
