I've never compiled these. It's time I did.
"Nothing happens first unless we dream." -- Carl Sandburg
This is just a list of all the outrageous ideas I've had for some sort of theatrical production. I look at them now and think that many of them are scary.

So am I really wrong for not liking Damien Hirst?
“I can’t wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it. At the moment if I did certain things people would look at it, consider it and then say ‘f off’. But after a while you can get away with things.” --Damien Hirst, as quoted in "Why it's OK to not like modern art", Times Online, May 8, 2003 -
SESTINAARGH
Feel the burn! No pain, no gain! --Jane Fonda

Scholarship short-response answers.
I'm applying for the Bill and Melinda Gates Millennium Scholarship thing, and there is a short-answer prompt that those of you who have A Certain Physics Teacher (who will remain unnamed) will agree with:
Discuss the subjects with which you had difficulty. What factors do you believe contributed to your difficulties? How have you dealt with them ( Read more... ) -
The day before break!
It's Thursday, and thank God it's the day before break. I've had so much to do -- college, scholarships, exams, and I'm trying to sort out a lot of the major details of my humanities project because I have to start pretty much as son as I get back ( Read more... )
