Has it been a month?

Sort of freaky. It has been exactly a month since my last post. I was doing so well in trying to update at least once a week. Oh poooh. I blame tech week for Unity and the stress that came with that whole ordeal. Which by the way... Unity went swimmingly. I felt so attached to the show, which is kind of unusual for me. Haven't felt like that in a well. Of course, looking back on the show, there were some areas that could have used a bit of work but overall it was a fairly good show. The other fall show, The Philly Story, was well done. I know they were scrambling at the end to get stuff fixed and finished. I think it came out very well done. There were a couple of things that I didn't really like about it. Every show is like that though. Up next in the world of productions is going to see the Kentwood fall show.. Yup...

Oh, so time has come once again to register for next semester's classes. So far my schedule looks like it will be fun. Scenic painting, theatre history (:P), scenic fundies and costume studio (yay!).. of course lab, which isn't that big of a deal since I will be in the costume shop. I need to figure out my H&S class and maybe a 1 credit class... which I am pretty sure doesn't exist. So 17 credits it is for next semester. One less credit than the 18 I had this time. And my production assignment is First hand in the costume shop. So lots of time to work on homework. Score! I am really, really excited for next semester. I can't wait. Only have to push through the last month or so that I have left. And somehow pull this theatre history project out of my butt. Ugh.

So... anyways, I am trying to find a job for the winter break but with my limited hours due to classes... No one wants to hire me. Which really, really, really sucks. I only got the job with Target last year by having to skip classes to work which I am not doing again because school costs too muuch to miss. I am even sick right now and have to go anyways. 'eff this. Hopefully Danielle can come through for me and get me a job at the Southcenter Lane Bryant. I hope. :/

Stumbling Through the Endless Blogs

I am pretty much just sitting in the computer lab again, debating if I should go make myself some food then wandering sort of aimlessly towards the scene shop before it gets too dark. Walking around South Lake Union in the evening is a little... mmm.. creepy, because there is hardly anyone around. They are either a few blocks away in the Shopping District or a few streets over at Seattle Center. So.. It is sort of weird. Anyways... I found myself wandering through other people's blogs. Just clicking on links that people had posted or ones that they follow. I ended up at Mr. Jone's AP European History class blog and I thought... woah. What a crazy random happenstance. I barely went on when I was in his class, only when we were supposed to comment on an entry.. Even then I would forget to. I think it is interesting that I would find myself on that page. Might not seem interesting to anyone else but me. Thought I would share some little weird instance for today.

I am still feeling sick though. Not like glued to the toliet bowl sick. But I feel like my stomach is empty and I have a brain freeze. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I just got out of yoga class.. and it was cold down there. I don't know.

Thats The Plan.. Rule the World.

So I am slow on this but I just discovered Dr. Horrible a couple weeks ago. I love this. It is so freaking funny. Lol.

Just some of my fave quotes real quick like here...

- "What a crazy random happenstance!"
- "We do the werid stuff"
- "The hammer is my penis..."

This is Halloween, This is Halloween...

Pumpkins scream in the dead of night! lol. So it is the beginning of October, a month of the school year has flown by. Which of course is frightening but exciting all at the same time. So... Currently I am thinking about that day.. Halloween! My target costume is Ashley Spinelli from Recess. = D If you don't know who that is, it is the girl with the orange knit cap on and the leather jacket. I was flipping through the channels on the TV and Recess was on like Toon Disney or something. Inspiration hit me right then. I wanted to be the tomboy of the group, and maybe I could convince my loving boyfriend to be TJ Detweiler, which is the kid with the backwards baseball cap. I think it would be super cute and fun. If not.... Well.. I will manage to find something interesting... >.<

A Few Hours to Just Waste...

So.... I have roughly an hour to waste before my parental units appear here at Cornish with my God mama so we can all go have dinner down at the Old Spaghetti Factory on the Pier. Currently I am chilling in the fourth floor computer lab, sort of just staring at a blank screen. Suppose I should do my homework for my Theater History class, but I don't have the focus to do that at the moment. I barely have enough to type this post out. >.<

So... school has been pretty chaotic so far. There is only a month or so left in my production assignment which I guess in a way is a little frightening, cause that means we need to get our stuff together. I am the assistant props coordinator for Unity 1918, not sure that I actually mentioned that before... Hmm... Anyways, There are a lot of little things that are threatening to slip through the cracks, which is the way it works out sometimes. Part of my job to make sure that doesn't happen. I have this image in my head of the prop coordinator holding this humongous pile of props that is tittering back and forth while I run around her, trying to be helpful in someway. Kinda how I feel right now. >.<

Classes are... interesting. Mondays and Wednesdays are super busy for me and I not sure why I did that to myself. I have four classes on those days, FOUR! At 9 - 10:25 I have lighting fundamentals, 10:30 - 11:50 is theater history (which is a Socratic seminar type class... not having fun so far), lunch, then lab at 1 - 3:50 and finally yoga at 4:30 - 5:45. Tuesday I have 3-D design at 1 - 3:50 or so and then Thursdays is Drawing from 1 - 3:50. Both Tuesday and Thursday, I have my H&S class which is Profiles of Disease from 4:30 - 5:50. I usually end up getting home around 8:30 or so every night. Do homework, then fall asleep. I love my Fridays though. One class, which is lab again. It is from 1:30 - 4:30 which isn't really all that bad. I am not sure how I convinced myself that I was going to be able to handle it all. So far it is ok... I just don't really get to eat lunch.. like ever.

And if you are wondering, yes I am still living at home. I know the commute is freaking ridiculous but in a way, it beats having to pay $200 a month for rent plus other expenses. All I pay is $90 a month for a bus pass that I can use pretty much anywhere with the exception of the Link Rail which is fine. It doesn't really take me where I need to go anyways. The buses are a little more flexible in that way. Of course, the buses are affected by bad traffic and psycho metro drivers where as the Rail has a predetermined set path that generally avoids all major traffic issues. For now I will stuck with my bus. :P

She ain't mess with no broke bro.

I can not stop listening to the songs from Glee. They are so awesome and make me so happy. I love this verison of Gold Digger, it is so much fun. It makes me want to dance around like a crazy person. I adore Glee. It is one of my new favorites.

Back To School!

I have been god-awful with updating this thing. I forget about it even though the link to this blog is right there, clearly displayed on my favorite links bar. I am officially lame and lazy. *sigh*

Anyways, summer was pretty awesome. There were a few rocky issues, the latest one being between my father and my boyfriend. That is almost settled so it really isn't a big deal. All of the other stuff was drama that didn't involve me directly but fairly close...

I attended my first BUMBERSHOOT this past weekend which was really quite a strange experience. Yeah. I saw All-American Rejects (leader singer is a douche, left after three songs), OS Mutantes (AMAZING Brazilian 60's rock group), The Black Eyed Peas (despite their technical issues, put on a totally solid show), Franz Ferdinand (way intense, loved it) and a bit of Modest Mouse (kind of a blur, left at the beginning because we were super hungry). There were other groups that we caught bits of while wandering around including a group called Massey Ferguson which reminded me a bit of Rascal Flatts. The artist booths were kinda neat to check out. I found two paintings that I really want to buy at some point if at all possible. The first one is here http://www.impsandmonsters.com/tributes.html and it is The Mad Tea Party. There is something about the way that it is painted that makes me super happy. The other one is also from the same artist and is http://www.impsandmonsters.com/imps1.html. It is title Reunion and is just bursting of adorable happiness.

Otherwise I am thinking about apartments and getting a job close to school... but it doesn't look like even a remote option at the moment. I want to though. It would be nice though to be on my own and learning to live as an independent adult finally. We shall see what happens once this school term is over. Right now I am hanging in the computer lab waiting for my Profiles of Disease class to start. I have a full class schedule again with 18 credits, but I can handle it no problem.

P.S.: So why Madi Bo? Well.. I was sitting here trying to figure out what my pen name ought to be for this site. I was looking at my facebook and started to sing a little song that my friend would to me during rehearsals for our high school production of Fiddler on the Roof. "Madi-bo-baddie... Oooo Madi, you a baddie". And it hit me. Madi Bo. Genius. I think.

Check This Out.

Seattle Children's Theatre is right in the middle of their summer drama school season. This weekend is Rent: School Edition. There is a snazzy little piece from Evening Magazine on the production. Check It Out!

If You Give A Boy A Piece of Cake...

He will surely ask for a glass of milk. If you give a boy a glass of milk, he will surely ask for a toy to play with. If you give a boy a toy to play with, he will surely ask to go show his friends. If you let him go show his friends, you will surely never see that toy again again.

The Sh*t Never Stops....

So in the past few weeks I have learned a few things. People who I thought were my friends in high school were not. People I treated in a polite, civil manner are talking behind my back and pointing fingers. What cause people to do this? I don't really get it. Especially since I had nothing to do with anything that I am being accused of. I love rumors... *sarcasm*. I think it is said somewhere that you are no-one unless you are being talked about. In some manner that has to be true... but I would prefer that my name be dropped from the conversation. I should be flattered though that I am still even brought up. I guess that means they remember me in some way.

Huh.

I think being a part of a high school drama department can seriously mess people up for life. Some people walk away from the experience with their confidence crushed up by all the fierce compeition going while other pratically float away on their over-inflated egos only to have that bubble popped by someone out in the real world. Sure there are those who exist in that inbetween space. I would count myself as one of those inbetween people. I am sure however that there are others who would say that I turned in to someone floating away. But I don't feel like that....

Anyways, back to my original point which was that I want people to stop talking smack before they get smacked. Er... something like that. I just want to move on and forget about everything that happened and focus myself on what is going to happen. Wait. My real main point in staying up late to type my thoughts out was... how annoyed I am at how two-faced people are. Yes, I have talked about people before behind their backs. I am not a saint. BUT... lately people are increasingly talking behind mine. Perhaps it is because they don't think I will heard about it. Hmm... I actaully hadn't thought about that before. That does make sense.... Anywho, I am tired of dealing with two-faced friends. I've had them since elementary and I suppose that will just carry on through life... I am just tired of it though. It is just... Ugh...
It is late.. I need sleep.

Ages Old Artwork

"Totem Guardian: The Wolf"

"Jealous & Heartbroken"

"Green With Envy"

"Boredom Grows"

"Erik The Phantom"

Note: Most of these are just sketches but a couple of them are from art in my senior year of high school.

No day but today!

I AM GOING TO SEE THE NATIONAL TOUR OF RENT TONIGHT! I thought I should share that as I am nearly jumping out of my skin with excitement. I can't wait. :D :D

Starting Anew.

All the posts previous to this one are from my old myspace account. I figured it would be best to add them here as I didn't want to just delete them forever. Blogging is just like a jounral and I love to write down anything I think of. This one will serve as a place for me to do just that. I will try to post some art work that I do during the year and maybe put some of the stuff that I have done. Most of it is work from art class in senior year, doodles from notebooks and sketchs along with assignments from my college courses. I am not skilled in the art of computer programs so everything will be in traditional mediums until I learn how to do that.

Without further ado, I will try to pick up where I last left off in my previous blog... Or at least cover what has happened since then...

It has been several months since I last wrote anything. I blame it on being in college. I love going to CCOTA. It is such a great enviroment to be in. I know there are many others that would disagree with me, but I love being there. Seattle is a great (weird) city filled with so much to do and explore. My freshman year is now done with and I know there is tons of stuff that I have yet to see in the city. I've lived so close all my life, but somehow I barely know anything about the Emerald City.

In other news, Jon and I have been together for over a year now. It has been the best year of my life. He is my best friend. I know I can trust him with anything and everything. Most people say to leave your relationship behind when you go to college. There is no way I would have gotten through the year without him by side. On the most stressful day, he was there with a hug and a kiss to make me feel so much better. Sounds cliche I know, but I have no idea what I would do if he was not in my life at this very moment.

As for my social life... it doesn't exist. Maybe it will during this summer, but during the school year... I had no life outside class and going home. 2 hour bus rides don't really give alot of time to hang out with classmates. Speaking of the metro, I wish sometimes people were more aware of the world around. No one wants to hear about someone else's jail experiences or std-laced adventures ending in pregancy. And just because one sits in the back of the bus, doesn't not mean the front of the bus can't hear you. In fact, the back echoes. So.. please. Shut up. Ugh...
