Here I am, I’m sitting in studio art with not much on my mind and a lot to do but no will to do it so I figured there’s no point to it and I’d rather blog than have to do what I have to do. It’s just experimenting in photoshop and learning the basics that I already know, so really, I figure, there’s no point to it. I haven’t a clue why I’m writing the way I am, but I am and I find it rather entertaining.
My mind is fried.
This weekend was the Locust Valley High School Jesters’ performance of “The Pajama Game” (the musical I’ve been rehearsing for the last three months). Our friday performance was cancelled due to the weather, it snowed…on all days, which caused a lot of problems because our near sold-out tickets for sat/sun were definitely sold out now and were over-packed. That was fun.
The performance went amazing though, even though we had several sicknesses and last-minute preparing. My scenes carried so well, and it was really funny and just amazing. Any one that’s a performer knows that feeling you get when you’re performing for an audience, it’s invigorating and exciting. It takes your breath away when you get on stage and leaves you weak in the legs when you get off hearing a grand applause. There’s always that slight nervous/anxious feeling you get but once you’re on stage, it disappears and you’re carried away by the spirit of the stage. It’s a feeling that is unique to any other.
I wish everyone I knew could’ve come, but I know they’re all busy.
Though, I must ask and sort of confess- Is it sad that I was envious of the ones with flowers? I remember the one time I got a bouquet of 12 roses from Daniel, a boy that I had only started dating and I didn’t truly believe I could love him. But he came, and he made me happy…I think we made each other happy, but in the end I couldn’t take his burdens let alone my own horny lust for his ex-boyfriend’s boyfriend, John. But before I ramble into another story, is it sad that I was envious of ones with flowers?

I want to be home but I’m not allowed because of the school’s policy that reads something like this…
“We hereby decree that any one who has given their soul to the devilish organization known as JESTERS that upon the final performance, which falls upon the Holy Day, must attend school the following day regardless of the time that expires to dissemble the set.“
Only now they’ve amended it to say THREE DAYS instead of DAY. And oh, that’s the reason for the name of the blog =) “Strike that mother…” basically means “Destroy the set!”

I just signed up for the MAY 1ST REBOOT. Oh boy =x

And now the best piece of information that I can give today…
I GOT MY ASS INTO PARSONS, HELL YEA’ BITCHES!
That’s the coolest, bestest, greatest, fucking awsomest thing in the world! I’m so excited, I already started filling things out =x they’re offering a rough estimate of $32,000 to $33,000 out of a possible total of $48,000. So I need to plan for at minimum, according to my mother, at least $20,000 in case something fails. Still, that’s amazing.
And I’m still blown away that I got a big envelope saying CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING ACCEPTED.

Congrats on getting into Parsons!
Yes, the feeling of being on stage is incredible, once you get past the initial stage fright!
I’m glad the musical went so well for you.

It’s not sad to want flowers.
And congrats on getting into Parsons. Do you think you’ll get enough financial aid to cover it? That would rock. 
Good luck to ya!

Congrats on being accepted - I hope everything will turn out good
Yes, being on stage is a wonderful experience, but everytime I have to perform something, I’m so horribly nervous - I’m the paradigm for a nervous wreck!
And no, I think everyone wants flowers (including me, I admit xD) It’s such a lovely gesture, so it’s natural, I guess ^^

Congratulations on being accepted! Also I hope everything will turn out as awesome as you hope for.
Sometimes I open up PhotoShop just to mess around too - I don’t consider it a waste of time though - not as long as I am entertained.

I hate lectures where you know everything! I got 100% in my photoshop, it was so easy!

I never was into doing show when I was in HS. I was always in the band, but I guess it is the same as a show with rehersing and all.

Flowers would make you feel appreciated for the performance you’d done, so no it’s not sad
I’m glad it went well! Must have been a relief for sure.
And congratulations for being accepted! That too must feel so good to know.
