After all that talk about re-evaluation this afternoon...I am in such a good mood. I have been talking to a casual friend of mine that I don't actually know that well, and it totally brightened my day. It is funny how a new face and viewpoint can totally refresh your own. And it's not that I don't enjoy talking to old friends, and having conversations where you can almost finish the other person's sentances-those conversations are great, too. But, getting to know someone new is always a great experiance for me. And, as is apparent by today's situation, it always puts me in a great mood. It's funny how many mood swings you can go through in the course of a few short hours....

I have always looked at life like a journey. A journey that you had to go on by yourself, without the aid of anyone, or anything else. However, despite this solitude, there are always others who will cross your path, and for a time, be it very long, or very short, they share the same road. You experiance the same tribulations, help eachother around the obstacles-just provide good company. And sooner or later, your paths will diverge and each will go their own way, making for themselves an individual and very solitary road. My somewhat cliche metaphor for friendship. It has been my personal experiance that friendships cannot always endure the test of time. for some reason, I make friends very quickly, but with the same speed that we grew together, we grow apart. this realization often leaves me feeling very lonely and inadequate. Because why else would I be left alone so often? But once I started to realize that this was mearly the natural order of things, the same sense of lonliness di...

So I was watching VH1 tonight (not a great choice, but it beats out the evil MTV any day) and the show "The List" came on. Now there is not a whole lot to the show, and I probably would have just kept on channel surfing, if it had not been for the category of tonight show. The topic was: Best band or artist of the 90s. strangely enough, and I do give the people on this show some credit for these two additions, both the Dave Matthews Band and Radiohead were on this list. Now these two artists are very close to my music-loving heart, and I even though I knew it all in vain, I was really hoping to see them make it onto the top three list at the end of the show. As expected, niether band made it onto the list, but what really shocked me was what they got beat out by. The top three artists of the 90's, according to VH1 viewers are as follows: 1. Dr. Dre 2. Nirvana 3. Pearl Jam I am not going to begin to debate the musical achievements of Nirvana, or anything else like that, b...

so tonight is the night. the first of my three drama performances. it's a pretty exciting ( and frightening ) prospect. for one thing, our rehersals have been ridiculously unproductive and hardly helpful. there have been problems with everything from getting props and organizing ticket sales to publicity and lighting. but the biggest problem has been the overall apathy of all of the actors. people were neglecting their scripts, not learning lines or blocking, and that was the part that was really discouraging. i mean, we all auditioned for this, and we are supposed to set a standard-a higher caliber, you know? and yes, i do admit that the play isn't the most engaging and interesting piece that we could do, but it is still worth doing well. no matter what..."the show will go on"...so we might as well do the best we can. but anyways, enough with that. our dress rehersals have been looking up, and i am actually very optimistic about tonight's performance. everything ...
