Really? I grew up in the theater and was involved with theater up until college. There were always one or two prima donnas around, but most people were friendly. Eccentric maybe, but friendly.

i was going to say "hey i was a theatre geek too! - "  but then i realized i am kind of a bitch and pretty full of myself, and all my theatre friends are snobs too so i guess i am not a good example.

(we are not snobs about musicals though.  i would totally go see sound of music with you!)

I went to a pretty great concert today, with Magnet in the Nidaros Cathedral. His voice is pretty great, and while I'm not a huge fan, I've like what I've heard before and I really liked this concert. It was kiind of awkward at times, because it was in a church, and people were all quiet and reverent, and he found it sort of nice, but also a little bit stressful, which is understandable. And it was pretty fun/cute/awkward when he couldn't remember any songs to do for the encore, and when people requested Gospel Song, he started playing for a bit, and after like a minute of intro-stuff, he went "How do the lyrics start, please? I can't remember!". And then he wanted to leave before it was even more embarrassing, but he ended up finishing in style, I guess.

Also, in the Wikipedia article I linked earlier about the church, you can see the west front of the church. Tonight they were projecting pieces of art onto it, and it was pretty awesome. This article has a bunch of pictures, worth checking out. I took a few with my cellphone, this, this, this, this (the people holding the scissors garnered applause), this and this. I was a little impressed with how well the night-function worked when I couldn't use flash because of stupid fog/rain.

Oh man, today was such a good day.

After school I stopped at my coffee shop/ art gallery and talked to my friend Nick about becoming an apprentice (he had mentioned it a couple of times before) and he showed me around the building and told me what he wanted to do with the place (he has the rent for his studio reduced by helping maintain the building). So I am now officially an artist's apprentice! I start on Friday and I'm really excited. This will be my first job, and I cannot imagine a job more awesome than this. Nick basically said that whatever I wanted to learn about would be what we did for the day, so on top of maintenance and other practical skills I'd be learning painting and carving techniques (we might carve a chessboard out of soapstone).
On top of that--everyone there plays chess and they're all smart, interesting people. I feel so much more at home there and even learn quite a bit more than I do in high school.

tldr; I have the best first job ever.

Some theatre kids are asses. Some are nice. Some come off as assholes, but don't mean it. Some are hard to read. Last time I checked, they were are humans, and were all different.

Sorry. I am grouchy, and that's probably mean. And I'm sorry.




Dear Life,

Remember when we made that deal that you'd become moderately ok? Remember? You had the right idea for awhile. You gave me that money, you scored me a date, you got my aunt to buy me some food. That is what I want you to do. Those are steps in the right direction.

But it seems, for every step in the right direction you take, you take 30 steps back. Things that were not great plans:

1) the roommate maybe going to prison for 3 years, and me having to testify for him thing. That is not great. That is not good at all. I don't want to testify. I don't want him to go to prison. This is not a good plan. But even if he doesn't go to prison, you've got him so upset that he is going to move far far away now. Work on this, life. Work on it.

2) Yesterday, some strange dude followed my kids home from school. We called the police and they didn't do shit. Life, this is not a good thing. This is not what needs to happen. Stop doing shit like this now. No one at all needs to follow my kids home from school. Never. This does not need to happen. And the cops need to do their god damn motherfucking job. Its such fucking bullshit. This guy needs to have someone remove his fingernails completely and then feed them to him. Forcefully.

3) life, the other day my cousin who I haven't seen or heard from(nor have any of my family members) since he was 5 contacted my aunt, who I am close to. He got kicked out of his house, and had been living on the street for a month. He is now living with a friend's mother. He is 16. Life, there are so many reasons why all of this is bad. Why did you think this was a good step to take? Don't do things like this. It is just dumb.


In synopsis, Life, you need to make the things that make me smile outweigh the things that make me cry. I'm tired of crying. I am tired in general. My whole body aches. I'd really rather my life be over than continue in this direction. Got that, Life? Stop fucking sucking so terribly bad. Just stop. Just fucking stop. Please.
