Out on my Own, making a living and working for the man

Ahh I hate computers. On ym first day off form rehearsal in like a week and a half my computer decides it is going to die a slow and painful death. Well My housemates being the great guys that they are tried for 5 hours to fix my computer. They tried everything from reinstalling windows to even formatting the C:/ drive and putting on windows XP. Well when that didn't work and my computer was in terminal blue screen of death they checked the hardware. It looks like it was a bad stick of memory that was causing the whole thing. So Joe M is at the moment fixing my computer while I am off at class and work. Thank you Joe, I would kiss you if it would freak both of us out. Well anyway that is just some of the small joys that are in my life at the moment.
My show opens in about two weeks. I spent a little time yesterday studying my lines, but I still need a lot of work. I think I will be ready in time. I really don't want to let down Tev. This is his Div 3 after all and I want to do a good job for him. The show is interesting and I know I will be ok, but I really want to kick ass when we open. It has been almost a year since I was onstage and I want to feel the same rush that I have been missing. Oh well that is just something I will have to see about.
I have to run, but maybe I will post more later if my computer is working. If not then I will be back in a few days. Adios all

Every so often when I am at work I think of that song by Devo, called "Working in a Coal Mine" You know the song, it was used as the theme for that show "Working" staring Fred Savage. Well I am sitting here at work and just trying to get everything done, so I don't have the unwashed hordes of Students coming at me asking my why the net is not working or why their printouts are not in alphabetical order. Don't get me wrong I am a student myself, but people can be really stupid sometimes. I mean, god how smart do you have to be to read a sign that says NO FOOD OR DRINK IN THE LAB. . EVEN WATER!!! and still people bring it in. I mean what the (explative deleted)!! Ok that was my rant of the day.
As for the rest of my life. Well I am still trying to learn all my lines for my show, I have the first act pretty much down. The third act I can do to a certain extent, it is just the second act I see myself having problems with. Well I have alot of lines and not a lot of time. I have been really trying to find time for everything, but I am just not doing that well. I am looking forward to having thursday off. I don't know what I want to do with it yet. Most likely I will study my lines. Oh joy I can tell you think I am just so cool. Well I am going to get going. Have fun all and feel free to e-mail me with questions or comments or just to tell me how great and sexy I am.

Here I am back again and ready for whatever the world decides to toss at me. I had an interesting weekend, well first off I had rehearsal all weekend for the show I am in. I am doing ok, I still need to work harder on my lines, but i will get there in the end. I am resisting the urge to kill one of my fellow actors, if for no other reason than becasue it would be a pain in teh ass to get someone to learn the lines in the time left. I guess it is good that I can still work with someone even if they are really a dickhead. Ok so back to my weekend. Well friday went out to ABC upstairs with Leah, Joe, and JP. While we were there I ran into Tev and his girlfriend Brooke and some freind of theirs. So we all hung out and it was fun. Then on saturday had more rehearsal and it started to snow.
This was the first real snow we have ahd this season. It was really great to see it. I have to say that the sight of the world just covered in a blanket of snow made my feel better about life. Back to Saturday, well we (as in those of us in the apartment) had a few friends over for some dinner and wine. It was really nice, true I would have liked it if there were some more single women, who have a thing for short charming italians, but you can't win them all. Well I had a bit to drink, but I was fine. I just would have liked to have had someone there for me. You know what I mean, out of the people that came over there was one cutesey couple, one girl was a freind of one of my housemates, a male freind who we had not seen in a while, and the rest were either male or female but with no intrest in me whatsoever. So needless to say I felt a little out of place.
It is hard sometimes to be freind with people who are not in the same field with me. Like my taste in movies is sometimes put on the chopping block. OK I like some musicals and I like classic black and white movies. I also have a hard time enjoying just shoot em up films like XXX or really cheesy chick flicks like anything with Leonrfo D Craprolio. Oh well that was just my rant of the day I guess. Well anyway I guess I just feel that I am very alone in this world. That nothing I do is apperciated or valued. I have been really gettig fed up with the world. You already know this if you have read some of my past posts, but that is beside the point.
I am a good person, I have a pretty long fuse when it comes to belligerent user but this girl takes the cake. I was closing the lab before the class and this girl would not get up and leave even after I mentioned the closing 3 times. I finnaly went over to her and said I am sorry, but you are going to have to leave there is a class coming in. She said in a very snotty tone that she was in the class. I told her I still needed to leave the lab, she then got all huffy and said that she was able to stay last week. Now the simple fact that we did not have classes on Monday might have stuck out in her mind, but needless to say she went out mad. I really do love it when people get angry at me just for doing me job. Oh Joy.
