UGH
Worst part of having AWESOME weekends. Staying at home on Sunday, waiting for school to start the next day. Ugh. Being bored makes me depressed. I guess I'll update about Spring Break and the past few weeks.
Things have been crazy. UIL has been horrible/completely awesome. We have a really good show, but Oliver keeps cutting the script. That's fine, its actually necessary. But all of this should have been done in the first month of the show. I don't care if she wanted to see how it looked, and I know she was out for a week while Romus was in the hospital, but she could have started cutting a long time before Spring Break. The show would be so much more awesome if she had already finished cutting, stopped changing our blocking, and stopped adding set pieces a month ago. I don't know. The only thing that will stop us from advancing is if we are over time, otherwise we are good. I am confident in saying that I think Amanda, Sabrina, Sarah, Zach, Kris, Jennifer, and myself will all get medals. I honestly think me and Amanda have a chance at Best Actor/Actress. The only thing that will hold us back is we forget lines because of all these new cuts, and if we don't make time. But honestly, I think everyone in the company is doing great. Javi is struggling with Stage Manager, and knowing how exactly to deal with the actors, and tech as a whole, but that is primarily because its really his first show where he has been involved with everyone, and not just been a tech up in the booth. Plus, he hasn't worked with Oliver enough to realize what's bullshit and what's not bullshit. Besides that, he is doing a REALLY good job.
As for O...for her to say that the company should be mad at people with other commitments is stupid. We are in High School and she should praise us for being involved in multiple things. There are some nights where poeple should NOT miss rehearsals and should stay for the whole thing. But if someone isn't there because of another comittment, she should understand. Because every otherorganization that you are a part of, wants you to make that organization your first comittment. My main peeve is that if you go to rehearsals everyday for a week straight, and then have to miss ONE rehearsal the next week, she shouldn't be jumping our asses. The fact of the matter is, is that you made UIL your first priority, but sometimes certain events of other priorities are more important at that time. (i.e. college interviews, work, school, etc.)
My main problem is that, O isn't letting the actual acting aspect of Theatre be fun anymore. There have only been a handful of times in this play where I have been on stage and acting and been having the time of my life. She wonders why everyone talks in the wings (we really shouldn't be), its mainy because we are attention defecit teenagers who aren't finding fun in their craft. I know this is competition, but it is also supposed to be fun. We are supposed to find it more of an exciting experience, than a miserable commitment. O also talks about everyone behind their backs. If its not to me about Antonio or Zach, its about the cast to Javi or Suelo, or about Javi and Suelo to Romus.
I do appreciate the work she has done to get us the black box, but she turns around and makes it a conspiracy against our Theatre. Nothing can be non-dramatic. She has such a terrible attitude about everything, its sickening.
Anyways, enough of that. Spring Break was awesome. I've become a party addict. My morals have gone down the toilet, (as if I had any before). I seem to be making out with people a lot. Went to about 6 parties. Had an awesome time. Made out with a drunk straight guy (added a notch to my belt). I stayed at Sabrina's a lot and it helped us get a lot closer. I was missing spending time with her, and lately I've been around her a lot, and its made up for all the missed time because I lived so far. This passed week was awesome too. Rehearsals were killer, but I ended up making out with a completely sober straight dude. Quite possibly the most...passionate thing...ever. As for making out, I thought about it, and I've made out with more girls than gay guys, and more straight guys than gay guys. That either makes me slightly manipulative, extremely charismatic, or both. I'll go with both.
I think that most of the people that I met purely though LJ, will see me as a different person. Maybe not worse or anything negative, but different. I'd appreciate if you read it and commented.
